honored this Sunday, June 14, 1998 upon her retirement from the David 
L. Silver Yeshiva Academy of Harrisburg, PA after fifty years of 
devoted service to that institution.
  The Yeshiva Academy has been providing quality education to the 
children of Harrisburg and central Pennsylvania for over fifty years. 
Ms. Koplovitz received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Penn State 
University where she majored in education and speech therapy. During 
her distinguished career at the Yeshiva Academy, Ms. Koplovitz taught 
second and third grade classes (many alumni fondly remember her reading 
Pinocchio) and instructed the middle school grades in English, Latin, 
Spanish, history and geography.
  In recent years, she served as the school's assistant principal. In 
addition, Ms. Koplovitz has made important contributions to the 
Harrisburg Jewish community as vice president of its community 
relations committee and of the Jewish Community Center, and as member 
of the board of Temple Beth El.
  On behalf of the House of Representatives, I congratulate Eleanor 
Koplovitz for a lifetime dedicated to the education and nurturing of 
Pennsylvania children.
