well as his quickness and tenacity, have distinguished him as a           6
superior athlete, and during the season, he has gained the admiration     7
and respect of all those who have witnessed him in action. His            8
tremendous efforts were readily reflected in his fantastic performance    9

more than wrestling. Athletes such as Abe DeLano exemplify the            13

     WHEREAS, In an educational system that seeks to teach the future     18
leaders of our state and nation the fundamentals of self-reliance and     19
the rewards of individual effort, high school athletic competition has    20
become a valuable tool. Through his participation in sports, Abe          21
DeLano has learned lessons of perseverance, hard work, and fair and       22
honest competition that will undoubtedly be of great benefit to him       23
throughout his lifetime; therefore be it                                  24
    RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of     25
