R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Dominic De la Garza has earned the distinction of 
being salutatorian at Edinburg High School, and for achieving this 
auspicious honor he is truly deserving of special legislative 
recognition; and
	WHEREAS, Earning the right to call oneself "salutatorian" 
requires not only intellect and aptitude, but four years of 
dedication to the highest academic standards; the salutatorian 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 salutatorian 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, During his tenure in high school, Mr. De la Garza has 
distinguished himself through his membership in the National Honor 
Society and Spanish National Honor Society and his participation on 
the varsity golf team and in U.I.L. math, calculator, and number 
sense competition; and
	WHEREAS, The son of Peter and Alma De la Garza, Mr. De la 
Garza has earned the respect and admiration of his friends and 
classmates at Edinburg High School, and as he prepares to attend The 
University of Texas at Austin, 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 Dominic De la Garza on being named 
the 2003 salutatorian at Edinburg 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. De la Garza as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                            Pena

                                                  ______________________________
                                                       Speaker of the House     

	I certify that H.R. No. 1971 was adopted by the House on June 
2, 2003, by a non-record vote.

                                                  ______________________________
