                        Wednesday, May 20, 2009

  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate a gem 
of western Nebraska, Lake Alice School. The school, which first opened 
its doors in 1915, will bid its final farewell on Monday.
  A Farewell to Lake Alice School will be held with an open house at 
the school, allowing anyone who is or has been associated with the 
school to reminisce on its impact to our community and what it has 
meant to so many people through the years.
  Nearly 7,000 students from Scottsbluff and the surrounding area have 
passed through the school during its 93 years. I'm proud to have known 
Lake Alice students, teachers, graduates, and faculty throughout my 
life. The school provided a quality education and served as a point of 
pride for the community.
  Lake Alice will hold a special place in our hearts. I hate to see the 
doors close, but I know the memories will last forever.
