                        Wednesday, May 16, 2012

  Mr. BASS of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
members of Milford High School's We the People state championship team.
  We the People is a national competition that tests students' 
knowledge of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Teams from all 
over the country compete for various prizes and awards. With the help 
of their teacher, Dave Alcox, and after many months of dedication and 
hard work, the Milford High School team placed first in New Hampshire's 
We the People State Championship. In doing so, they earned a spot to 
compete in the National Championship here in Washington, DC earlier 
this month, where they placed 30th overall and first in the Unit 3 
division out of more than 50 teams. I want to congratulate the 
following students for their accomplishments and inspiring commitment 
to their team:
  Kelsey Bailey; Jack Betelak; Cara Brewer; Jess Byrne; Laura Elser; 
Mathias Christensen; Josh Clemens; Paige Craven; Emily Curry; Bekah 
Curtis; Molly Desmond; Adam Drescher; Robby Finan; Ryan Fitzgerald; 
Melissa Gray; Sarah Halstead; Ryan Hull; Kyle Joyce; Hannah Ladeau; 
Ally LaForge; Katie Lannin; Julia Lengvarska; Tom Lundstedt; Comfort 
Dum Maude; Zach O'Neill; Jon Penniman; Jason Porter; Nick Simo; James 
Smith; Natasija Vucicevic; and Brittney White.
  Mr. Speaker, the people of New Hampshire join me in congratulating 
these students on a job well done, and I wish them all the best in what 
I know will be a very successful future.
