                                                                  H.R. No. 176







R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, The Houston Chapter of the Crockett Colored 

High/Ralph J. Bunche High School Alumni, Ex-Students, and Teachers 

Association is hosting a reunion of graduates from throughout 

Houston County on August 26-28, 2005, in the city of Houston; and

	WHEREAS, The reunion offers an opportunity to refresh old 

friendships and to forge new ones, and both laughter and tears will 

surely be in evidence over the course of the weekend as participants 

reminisce and reflect on years past; and

	WHEREAS, The reunion encompasses alumni from many Houston 

County schools that, like Ralph J. Bunche High School, were closed 

as the result of consolidation and integration, including Center 

Grove, Gudebly, Kennard, Post Oak, Reesoben, W. R. Banks, and 

Williams; graduates of Crockett High School, which merged with 

Ralph J. Bunche High School in 1965, are also invited to 

participate; and

	WHEREAS, The alumni of these schools grew to adulthood during 

an era of unprecedented social, cultural, and political change, and 

their shared experience as students during the 20th century has 

undoubtedly shaped their values and outlook on life; and

	WHEREAS, The wide-ranging professional and personal 

achievements of reunion participants offers eloquent testament to 

the many strengths of this diverse group, and we celebrate their 

outstanding contributions to their communities; now, therefore, be 

it

	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 

Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby commemorate the 2005 

reunion of Houston County schools sponsored by the Houston Chapter 

of the Crockett Colored High/Ralph J. Bunche High School Alumni, 

Ex-Students, and Teachers Association and extend sincere best 

wishes for a memorable weekend to all those associated with this 

event.
