  Mr. BUTTERFIELD. Mr. Speaker, today it is with great pleasure that I 
rise to recognize the contributions of Mrs. Addie Scipio Hagans, a 
dedicated educator and civil servant. Mrs. Hagans is being honored by 
the Gamma Beta Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. at 
this year's Diamond Anniversary Banquet in Wilson, North Carolina. Mrs. 
Hagans has dedicated her life to the service of others and is most 
deserving of this recognition.
  Mrs. Addie Hagans was born May 24, 1928, in Chadbourn, North 
Carolina, to Alfred Dancy Scipio and the former-Novella Wallace. She 
earned both her Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from North Carolina 
Central University, then North Carolina College, where she excelled in 
English, Speech, and Drama. After college, Mrs. Hagans began her career 
in education. Mrs. Hagans spent 35 years in education and during that 
time earned numerous awards and accolades. In addition to being 
recognized as Wilson County Teacher of the Year for 1978, Mrs. Hagans 
received the Distinguished Service Award and Most Spirited Teacher 
Award from the Wilson City Schools.
  Mrs. Hagans is a Golden Member and Life Member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, 
Sorority Inc. and has served as Basileus, Epistoleus, Anti-Basileus, 
Ivy Leaf Reporter, and Hodegos. In keeping with her selfless 
contributions to others, Mrs. Hagans currently serves as a member of 
the Gamma Beta Omega Chapter's Tutoring Committee. Mrs. Hagans is 
married to John Hubert Hagans and they are proud parents of two adult 
children, Reginald Orrin Hagans and Pamela Joi Hagans.
  Mr. Speaker, Addie Hagans' contributions to my home state of North 
Carolina and our great nation are many. Her passion for education and 
dedication to the service of others is self-evident. I ask my 
colleagues join me in congratulating Mrs. Addie Scipio Hagans on the 
high honor of being recognized by the Gamma Beta Omega chapter of Alpha 
Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
