                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 1, 1999

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this time to 
congratulate Steve Bauer on his acceptance into the prestigious 
Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Aurora. Steve is a 15 year-
old freshman at Southwestern High School. When the principal of 
Southwestern, Lynne Chism, was asked abut his acceptance she replied, 
``It's a great honor for Steve and our school.'' When Steve was asked 
about his acceptance he said, ``It's a great opportunity in my life to 
study at one of the best math and science schools in the country.''
  Steve's parents, Pamela and David Bauer of Brighton are proud of 
their son but they are going to miss him. ``We'll be baking a lot of 
cookies to send to Steve at school,'' said his grandmother Betty 
Wright. Bauer wishes to maybe study engineering or medicine, but 
whatever he chooses to do in life I'm sure he will be successful.
