R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Daniel Joel Davila has earned the distinction of 
being salutatorian at Edinburg North 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, Throughout his life, Mr. Davila has looked to his 
older brothers, Gerardo and David, as his role models; his myriad 
achievements include membership in the National Honor Society and 
participation in U.I.L. events as a first-place champion and 
two-time member of the state number sense team, a sixth-place 
finish in the state science competition, and two-time membership on 
the all-state choir; and
	WHEREAS, The son of Ramiro and Maria G. Davila, Mr. Davila has 
earned the respect and admiration of his friends and classmates at 
Edinburg North High School, and as he prepares to attend the 
California Institute of Technology, 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 Daniel Joel Davila on being named 
the 2003 salutatorian at Edinburg North 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. Davila as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.

                                                                            Pena

                                                  ______________________________
                                                       Speaker of the House     

	I certify that H.R. No. 1972 was adopted by the House on June 
2, 2003, by a non-record vote.
