R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Members of the H. M. King High School Key Club in 
Kingsville are visiting the State Capitol on May 13, 2004, and it is 
a pleasure to welcome them to Austin; and
	WHEREAS, In April, the Key Club hosted a successful two-day, 
community-wide event, the Josh Johnson Memorial Scholarship 
Festival, or "Josh Fest"; proceeds augment a scholarship fund in 
behalf of King High School seniors in memory of Josh Johnson, who 
passed on in 1999; he was the son of Kenny and Twila Johnson, the 
latter of whom teaches at the high school; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Johnson's advanced placement government class 
established the school's Key Club chapter and planned this year's 
festival, which was a national winner of the Teens, Crime and the 
Community Action Project; the Kingsville students involved with 
this commendable effort were honored at a Washington, D.C., 
reception during the National Youth Crime Prevention Conference and 
International Forum; and
	WHEREAS, The young men and women of the Key Club of H. M. King 
High School in Kingsville have shown admirable dedication and 
commitment to their school and their community, and it is indeed 
appropriate that this worthy organization be recognized; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby welcome the H. M. King High 
School Key Club members to Austin and extend to these exceptional 
young Texans sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the club as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
