                      RUTHERFORD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

 Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, on May 30, the Rutherford 
Elementary School Memorial Committee commemorated the history of the 
Rutherford Elementary School. I rise today to mark the closing of this 
building.
  The community of Rutherford has been served for 89 years by the 
current elementary school, which is scheduled for demolition. Amidst 
music, civic organizational displays, and food vendors, students past 
and present gathered to reflect on their childhood experiences. Members 
of Rutherford's first class still fondly reminisce about the ``good old 
days.''
  Mr. President, the Rutherford Elementary School symbolizes strength 
and continuity in education. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
acknowledging this memorial.
