  TRIBUTE TO MR. PHILIP C. MUSGRAVE, UPON HIS RETIREMENT AS PRINCIPAL 
                    FROM STROM THURMOND HIGH SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. LINDSEY O. GRAHAM

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 22, 1998

  Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the remarkable 
achievements of Philip C. Musgrave. Mr. Musgrave has had a splendid 
career in education and discipline which has spanned more than three 
decades. Sadly, we say goodbye to this gentleman, but are grateful for 
the legacy that remains.
  The youth of Edgefield County owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Musgrave 
for his firm, but fair style of discipline. When love was absent at 
home, there was Mr. Musgrave. When the role model was no where to be 
found, there was Mr. Musgrave. When they needed someone simply to talk 
to, there was Mr. Musgrave.
  As a coach, a teacher and a principal, he has influenced thousands of 
young men and women. A recognized leader in Edgefield County, he has 
honed his leadership skills over the years and developed a sense of 
strong values vital to his many roles. From my contact with him as an 
educator and a mayor, he has impressed me with those characteristics 
revered by many; including honor, humility and personal integrity. I 
have found Mr. Musgrave to be a dedicated man of outstanding character, 
concerned with the needs of other and with the willingness and ability 
to lead.
