R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The cast and crew of the Seminole High School
One-Act Play are visiting the State Capitol on May 10, 2011, and

their impressive successes in 2011 University Interscholastic
League competition; and
WHEREAS, Founded in 1927, the UIL's One-Act Play contest is
the largest high school play production competition in the world;
every year, more than 14,000 high school students in over 1,000
plays participate in some 300 contests across the Lone Star State;
historians consider the league's theater program to be the
foundation of educational and community theater in Texas; and
WHEREAS, Competing in UIL District 4, Class 3A, the creative
and energetic young people from Seminole High School successfully
performed scenes from Players in the Game at the district, area, and
regional competitions and earned the right to compete in the state
finals; and
WHEREAS, Senior Savanna Winn and freshman Jadon Hatley were
named to the all-star cast, and Reed Chappell received an honorable
mention award; in addition, junior Jack Cagle was selected as best
lighting technician; the victorious cast and crew also includes

Johnson, Kaley Johnson, Kourtney Kildow, Nate Maxwell, Bradley
Melton, D. J. Rickman, Angela Sims, Tonya Sodd, and Jasmine Torres;
this outstanding group is ably guided by Josh Harriman, Abbie
Harriman, and Aaron Martin; and
WHEREAS, The continuing richness and vibrancy of Texas
culture depends in large part upon the enthusiasm and commitment of
gifted young people, and the Seminole High School One-Act Play cast
and crew have earned great distinction for themselves, their
school, and their community through their excellence in the
dramatic arts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the students from Seminole High
School who have participated in the 2011 UIL One-Act Play
competitions and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued
success; and, be it further
