                           HON. HENRY J. HYDE

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 29, 1998

  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Speaker, the choirs of Lee High School in Springfield, 
Va. drew words of praise from faculty and community residents following 
their participation in the competitive April 17 Boston Music Festival.
  Every year the group competes in Music Festivals representing Lee 
High School and the community's finest youth. Under the direction of 
Mr. G. Lindsey Florence, the Singing Lancers, known for their high 
standards of music excellence, returned from the April 17 competition 
holding their silver and bronze trophies high with pride. The Madrigals 
and Ladies Chamber Choir carried the Silver and the Concert and Lee 
Freshmen Choirs held the Bronze. This is an exceptional honor because 
the four choirs' performance were adjudicated on a college and 
professional level by a panel of three judges.
  Their achievement deserves recognition, and it gives me great 
pleasure to acknowledge each of these fine young men and women.
