                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 22, 2012

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I recognize 
Colin Kantor, a member of the Latin Club at Carroll Senior High School, 
for his taking first place in the Classical Geography and Monuments 
competition (Level IV) at the Texas State Junior Classical league 
convention.
  As part of the Junior Classical League, Kantor is among 50,000 
students in this worldwide organization. Twenty-two students from the 
Carroll Senior High Latin Club travelled to participate in the 
convention held by the Texas chapter in San Antonio in March. The 
convention hosts a variety of competitions, both academic and cultural, 
that relate to the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations.
  A fourth year student of Latin, Colin entered two Level IV 
competitions at the convention, one in Roman History and another in 
Classical Geography and Monuments. He demonstrated excellence and 
studiousness and took home first place in the Geography category. We 
are very proud of Colin and thankful to Terra Windham for so ably 
sponsoring him and leading the Latin Club. I am told that the Latin 
Club at Carroll Senior High is growing in popularity as a result of its 
successes, and it impresses me that these young people are taking such 
an astute interest in a language and culture that has such a venerable 
heritage.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 24th Congressional District of Texas, I 
ask all of my distinguished colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Colin Kantor on his earning a state title at the Texas State Junior 
Classical League convention.
