R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Coleman Buster Philley has earned the distinction of 
being valedictorian at Galena Park High School, and for achieving 
this auspicious honor he is truly deserving of special legislative 
recognition; and
	WHEREAS, Earning the right to call oneself "valedictorian" 
requires not only intellect and aptitude, but four years of 
dedication to the highest academic standards; the valedictorian 
must display a firm understanding of the entire curriculum, from 
math and science to language arts to social studies, while 
demonstrating an unwavering commitment to education; and
	WHEREAS, The valedictorian serves as a role model and leads 
by example, combining a steadfast vision of excellence with a 
tenacious enthusiasm; the competition for this coveted honor is 
often fierce, although the spirit of the rivalry remains rooted in a 
tradition of goodwill and the rewards of the countless hours of 
study and preparation are myriad; and
	WHEREAS, The son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lee Philley, Mr. 
Philley has earned the respect and admiration of his friends and 
classmates at Galena Park High School, and as he prepares to 
continue his education at Texas A&M University it is most fitting to 
pay tribute to him for this outstanding accomplishment; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate Coleman Buster Philley on being 
named the 2003 valedictorian at Galena Park High School and wish him 
well in all his future endeavors; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Philley as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
