  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, it is with great respect for the 
outstanding record of excellence she has compiled in academics, 
leadership and community service, that I am proud to salute Holly 
Sprunger, winner of the 1998 LeGrand Smith Scholarship. This award is 
made to young adults who have demonstrated that they are truly 
committed to playing important roles in our Nation's future.
  As a winner of the LeGrand Smith Scholarship, Holly is being honored 
for demonstrating that same generosity of spirit, intelligence, 
responsible citizenship, and capacity for human service that 
distinguished the late LeGrand Smith of Somerset, Michigan.
  Holly is an exceptional student at Lenawee Christian High School and 
possesses an impressive high school record. Holly is the President of 
the National Honor Society and is Co-Valedictorian of her senior class. 
Holly is also involved with varsity basketball, volleyball and 
softball. Outside of school, Holly is involved with various community 
activities.
  In special tribute, Therefore, I am proud to join with her many 
admirers in extending my highest praise and congratulations to Holly 
Sprunger for her selection as a winner of a LeGrand Smith Scholarship. 
This honor is also a testament to the parents, teachers, and others 
whose personal interest, strong support and active participation 
contributed to her success. To this remarkable young woman, I extend my 
most heartfelt good wishes for all her future endeavors.
