    1-1        WHEREAS, Jamila Aziza Roos was formally presented to society
    1-2  as a Cotillion Idlewild Debutante at the Cotillion Idlewild Club
    1-3  Debutante Presentation on November 27, 1992, and to her many
    1-4  friends and family members, her participation in this grand and
    1-5  long-standing tradition was indeed a joyous occasion worthy of
    1-6  special recognition; and
    1-7        WHEREAS, The theme of the 1992 ball was "Evening Masquerade,"
    1-8  and those in attendance were treated to a truly magical evening of
    1-9  music and dance; the highlight of the event was the presentation of
   1-10  the five lovely, talented, and ambitious young ladies selected as
   1-11  Cotillion Idlewild Debutantes; and
   1-12        WHEREAS, The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest E. Roos III,
   1-13  Miss Roos is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Neely and
   1-14  Mr. and Mrs. Ernest E. Roos, Jr.; and
   1-15        WHEREAS, A sophomore at Harvard-Radcliffe University in
   1-16  Cambridge, Massachusetts, this delightful young woman is majoring
   1-17  in government with the goal of eventually serving her nation in a
   1-18  diplomatic post, and her diligent work in this field resulted in
   1-19  her inclusion on the Dean's List during her first two semesters;
   1-20  she also is studying voice, and she hopes to parlay her interest in
   1-21  music into a successful career as an opera singer; and
   1-22        WHEREAS, Miss Roos is involved with numerous student
   1-23  activities, including the Harvard Foundation for International and
   1-24  Race Relations, the Association of Black Radcliffe Women, Radcliffe
    2-1  Union of Students, and the Harvard Society of Black Scientists and
    2-2  Engineers; this talented singer also found time to hone her musical
    2-3  skills while performing in the Lowell House Opera's production of
    2-4  The Magic Flute and while performing with Harvard's most selective
    2-5  choir, Collegium Musicum; and
    2-6        WHEREAS, An accomplished performer even before she entered
    2-7  college, Miss Roos also has the honor of being the recipient of one
    2-8  of the largest grants ever given by the Radcliffe Office of the
    2-9  Arts; she won numerous awards while performing with her school and
   2-10  church choirs, appeared in movies and commercials, and worked as a
   2-11  fashion model, all while she was still in high school; and
   2-12        WHEREAS, Although her studies and her music keep her quite
   2-13  busy, this remarkable young lady still finds time to devote to
   2-14  community service; she has served as a tutor for a Boston
   2-15  inner-city youth, volunteered as a vocalist and flautist, and
   2-16  prepared food for several fine organizations that minister to those
   2-17  in need; and
   2-18        WHEREAS, These many activities leave her little leisure time
   2-19  but, when she does have some time for herself, Miss Roos enjoys
   2-20  cooking, reading, and playing tennis; she has also travelled
   2-21  extensively throughout the East Coast, Florida, Louisiana, and
   2-22  Mexico, and this travel has helped her to become a well-rounded and
   2-23  sophisticated individual; and
   2-24        WHEREAS, Jamila Aziza Roos is a source of great pride and joy
   2-25  to her parents, her community, and her many friends; her high
   2-26  standards of academic achievement, social grace, and community
   2-27  involvement make her a true embodiment of the Cotillion Idlewild
    3-1  Debutante, and she is indeed worthy of praise and recognition; now,
    3-2  therefore, be it
    3-3        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
    3-4  Legislature hereby congratulate Jamila Aziza Roos on her
    3-5  presentation as a Cotillion Idlewild Debutante and extend to her
    3-6  warmest best wishes for many more years of continued success and
    3-7  happiness; and, be it further
    3-8        RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
    3-9  forwarded to Miss Roos as an expression of high regard by the Texas
   3-10  House of Representatives.
