  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, today I would like my colleagues here in the 
United States House of Representatives to join me in honoring a 
dedicated public servant, and a very special person, Dr. Evelyn G. 
Lewis, who is retiring after 35 years in Education with her most recent 
tenure as principal of University High School in Newark.
  We in Essex County have been very fortunate to have a person of Dr. 
Lewis's talent and outstanding abilities, working on behalf of our 
children. In addition to her many achievements at University High 
School, Dr. Lewis also distinguished herself as a hardworking 
individual. She has served as Originator and Coordinator of the 
``Newark Business Skills Olympics''. Organizer and Chairperson of 
Newark's Business Advisory Committee and Chair of the Curriculum 
Committees and the Textbook Review Committee.
  On Friday, June 12, 1998 family, friends and colleagues of Dr. Lewis 
will gather to honor her for her many contributions to the youth of 
Essex County. Mr. Speaker, let us join in congratulating Dr. Lewis and 
wishing her all the best as she leaves public service and pursues new 
challenges.
