  preparation are myriad; and

  Larry Arie, Mr. Arie plans to continue his education at Texas
  Christian University, studying music education; he hopes also to
  travel across the country performing in a drum corps and to earn a
  graduate degree; and
         WHEREAS, Throughout his academic career, Jacob Arie has
  earned the respect and admiration of his teachers and classmates at
  Horn High School, and his exceptional scholastic ability, hard
  work, and commitment to excellence have opened the way to limitless
  opportunities for this outstanding young Texan; now, therefore, be
  it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Jacob Arie,
  salutatorian of the Horn High School Class of 2013, and extend to
  him sincere best wishes for continued success as he begins the next
  exciting chapter of his life; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Mr. Arie as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
