                                 ______
                                 

               TRIBUTE TO ST. XAVIER HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I invite my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating Nathan Horrell and Will Spence from St. 
Xavier High School, Louisville, KY, for receiving the Achievement Award 
in writing. This year only 525 students around the country were 
recipients of this award.
  The Achievement Award in writing is given to students who show 
excellence in English and writing. To be eligible for the award, 
students must submit a previously written paper and then be invited to 
participate in a timed essay.
  Nathan Horrell and Will Spence both have shown great analytical and 
writing skills in their submitted papers. Each student entered an 
analysis of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel ``Frankenstein,'' which they both 
wrote during their junior year in high school. At the contest, Nathan 
wrote his timed essay on the connection between the Internet and 
politics and Will wrote a short story.
  I am impressed by the excellence these two students have displayed. I 
am confident that they will have success in greater challenges in the 
future.
  Mr. President, I would like to thank Nathan Horrell and Will Spence 
for their contributions to the Commonwealth of Kentucky and wish them 
the best of luck in their future endeavors.
