                         HON. JAMES P. McGOVERN

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 7, 1999

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of C. William 
Howland, Principal of Rice Elementary & Chaffins Elementary Schools in 
Holden, Massachusetts.
  Mr. Howland has served the parents and children of Holden from 1961 
until today. He will be enjoying a well-deserved retirement upon the 
completion of this school year. The career of this talented and 
respected teacher and administrator began with graduation from North 
Brookfield High School in 1957. He earned a Bachelor of Science in 
Education from Worcester State College in June 1961. And in the Fall of 
1961 until 1966 he taught Grade 5 at the Rice Elementary School. During 
this period he received a Master of Education Degree from Worcester 
State College in August 1964.
  In 1966, Mr. Howland was appointed Assistant Principal of the Dawson 
Elementary School where he served until 1969. He returned to Rice 
Elementary as Principal in 1969 where he remained until 1997. In 1997, 
he was appointed Principal of the Rice Elementary and Chaffins 
Elementary Schools.
  It will be my privilege to visit the Rice Elementary School on June 
1, 1999, to highlight the importance of summer reading. And with great 
pleasure I will honor Mr. Howland for his dedication to the children 
past and present who have profited from his commitment to education. I 
wish him all the very best in his future endeavors.
