                  IN HONOR OF PRINCIPAL MARY S. MURPHY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 21, 1998

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to show my appreciation for 
one of our finest educators and administrators, Ms. Mary Murphy, who is 
moving on after sixteen years of invaluable service to Our Lady of Good 
Counsel High School. She served fourteen years as an English teacher 
and Senior advisor, and three years as principal.
  Mary Murphy has inspired hundreds of her pupils to become outstanding 
students who went on to successful careers. But perhaps more 
importantly, she emphasized to her students the importance of being 
kind and considerate individuals.
  Ms. Murphy is compassionate, caring, funny and a good listener. These 
qualities allowed her to capture students' attention and become an 
important influence in their lives.
  I salute Principal Mary Murphy for being an excellent educator, 
leader, and role model. She will be leaving Our Lady of Good Counsel 
High School, but her work will always stay in her students' hearts and 
minds.
