Mr. Speaker. I am proud to recognize the 95th anniversary of the founding of Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia. PA. on September 6. 1985. Roman Catholic High was the first free Catholic high school in the country and has become a model for Catholic education in the United States. When Roman was founded in 1890. it gave the children of immigrants and first and second generation Americans the educational opportunities they needed. Today. in ever increasing numbers. Roman is also providing the same opportunity for blacks. Asians. and Hispanics. Dr. Robert Moffit. class of 1965. and now Assistant Directer for Congressional Rela. tions at the Office of Personnel Management. was the keynote speaker at the official celebration at Philadelphias Plaza lotel on April 21. 1985.
