               HEIDI MARIE NOYES: MISS NEW HAMPSHIRE 1998

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
congratulate Heidi Marie Noyes for being crowned Miss New Hampshire 
1998. As Miss Winnipesaukee, Heidi prevailed over a competitive field 
of thirteen New Hampshire women. Her triumph earns Heidi the right to 
represent New Hampshire in the Miss America pageant in Atlantic City 
this September.
  One has to admire Heidi for her persistence and dedication. She had 
appeared in the pageant five times in the last seven years. Heidi's 
runner-up finish last year and her victory this year attest to her 
drive to improve and triumph.
  Heidi is deeply committed to helping children. She studies criminal 
justice at Franklin Pierce College in order to eventually work as an 
advocate for children and to campaign for juvenile law reform. She has 
been a volunteer for the Youth Services Court Diversion Program in 
Belknap County for the past six years, and she models in United Way 
bridal shows to benefit charity. Heidi's platform issue as Miss New 
Hampshire is the ``Let's Get Motivated'' scholarship program that she 
founded three years ago.
  At only 23 years old, Heidi is the owner of two dance studios, The 
Broadway North School of Performing Arts

and Broadway North Andover. She is a renowned dancer herself, winning 
the talent portion of the Miss New Hampshire pageant twice. She was 
chosen to tour the United States with Dance Caravan and was the Grand 
National Female Tap Soloist for Hoctor's ``Stars of Tomorrow'' dance 
competition in 1992.
  I am proud to represent Heidi Marie Noyes in the United States 
Senate, and wish her much success as Miss New Hampshire.
