	WHEREAS, Jose J. Alicca of El Paso has been named the  
valedictorian of the 2006 graduating class at Cathedral High 
School; and
	WHEREAS, Earning the right to call oneself valedictorian  
requires not only intellect and aptitude, but also four years of 
dedication to the highest academic standards; he must display a 
firm understanding of the entire curriculum, from math and science 
to language arts and social studies, while demonstrating an 
unwavering commitment to educational excellence; and
	WHEREAS, Such an exemplary young person serves as a role 
model and leads by example; 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, Mr. Alicca is a three-year Texas Forensics 
Association State Qualifier and a three-year National Forensics 
League National Qualifier; in his senior year, he ranked 14th in the 
state and 229th in the nation, and he was a National Honor Society 
officer in his last two years of high school; Mr. Alicca will attend 
Princeton University, where he will undoubtedly continue on his 
path to a rewarding future; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Alicca has earned the respect and admiration of 
his friends and classmates at Cathedral High School, and as he 
embraces a future bright with promise, it is most fitting that he be 
commended for his exceptional achievements; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Jose J. Alicca 
on being named the 2006 valedictorian at Cathedral High School in El 
Paso and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success in 
all his endeavors; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Alicca as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
