                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 21, 1998

  Mr. UNDERWOOD. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the members of Southern High School's mock trial team for 
their outstanding performance in the Mock Trial National Championship 
held in Albuquerque, New Mexico from May 8-9. They placed second in a 
competitive program involving 45 state teams. Not only did Southern 
High School take second honors, Leslie Travis, a fourth year Southern 
High student, was also awarded the distinction of best attorney in the 
competition.
  Mr. Speaker, the people of Guam are extremely proud of Ria Baldevia, 
Brian Biacan, Sharon Cadag, Leona Cruz, Vera Lynn Gozum, Leanna Libby, 
Charles McJohn, Denise Mendiola, John Moorhead, Pergrin Pervez, Teddy 
Salas, Michael San Nicolas, Aubrey Santos, Tricia Ann Santos, Leslie 
Travis, and Joshua Tyquiengco not only for their exceptional 
achievement, but also for their admirable performance as Guam's 
ambassadors in this national contest.
  Mock trial is an arduous competition which calls on a team's creative 
intelligence, logical reasoning, and quick wit to outmatch the other 
competitors. Southern High School's performance illustrates what can be 
accomplished through hard work, dedication and teamwork. On behalf of 
the people of Guam, I congratulate Southern High School and the members 
of their mock trial team for their magnificent achievement.
