              TRIBUTE TO BETHESDA-CHEVY CHASE HIGH SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. CONSTANCE A. MORELLA

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 27, 1996

  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Bethesda-Chevy Chase High 
School on the occasion of the school's 70th anniversary. B-CC is 
Montgomery County's oldest urban high school, and the school is marking 
this milestone anniversary this weekend with a community-wide 
celebration.
  Under the leadership of principal Janice Mastow, vice-principals 
Richard Bishop and Jeani Haven, and a devoted staff, the school has 
been a leader in the Montgomery County tradition of providing a quality 
education to its students and dedicated service to the community. B-CC 
has just initiated Montgomery County's second international 
baccalaureate program, which will keep students well-prepared for the 
challenges of the 21st century. In its urban setting, the school is a 
vibrant cornerstone of the Bethesda-Chevy Chase business area.
  The school's rich and enduring history began in 1926, with a class of 
14 students. Over the past 70 years, the high school has produced many 
distinguished graduates: war heroes, county, State and federally-
elected officials, Federal judges, and community leaders at every 
level. The festivities and the open house will focus on the diversity 
and achievements of B-CC's 25,000 alumni, its students, faculty, 
parents, and its programs. Some distinguished graduates who will 
participate in the celebration include Daniel Stern and Arch Campbell.
  As a former teacher, I am delighted to recognize B-CC on the school's 
70th anniversary. I pay tribute to the devoted faculty, supportive 
parents, outstanding students, and diverse alumni, and I wish them 
continued success.
