	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Saint Jo High School student Hunter Tallon won the
	Best Use of Research award for her entry in the 2013 It's Your
	History Contest, sponsored by the Friends of the Governor's
	Mansion, and for her achievement, she has been invited to meet
	Governor Perry and to tour the Capitol and the Governor's Mansion;
	and
	WHEREAS, Open to high school students throughout the state,
	the contest encourages participants to learn more about Texas
	heritage by researching a topic of local history and creating a
	dynamic presentation on their findings; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Tallon chose to investigate the Saint Jo Masonic
	Lodge, which she discovered was chartered in December 1878; in
	addition to becoming knowledgeable about the group and its mission,
	she found out that members began meeting in their current building
	in 1953, after their original one was destroyed by a fire; this is
	Ms. Tallon's second year to earn recognition for her submission to
	the It's Your History Contest, as she and a fellow student won best
	overall-group in 2012 for their presentation on Harley Sewell; and
	WHEREAS, This outstanding young Texan has further
	distinguished herself through her involvement in extracurricular
	activities; a member of the varsity track and cheerleading teams,
	she also plays varsity volleyball, basketball, and golf; moreover,
	she is on the yearbook staff and serves as vice president of the
	school's Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America club; in
	her spare time, she volunteers at the Sandy Lake Rehabilitation and
	Care Center; and
	WHEREAS, Hunter Tallon has demonstrated enthusiasm and
	creativity while honing a range of skills, and she is a source of
	pride to her school and her community; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Hunter Tallon on winning the Best
	Use of Research award for her entry in the Friends of the Governor's
	Mansion It's Your History Contest and extend to her sincere best
	wishes for continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Ms. Tallon as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
