BEING NAMED THE VALEDICTORIAN FOR THE 1992 SENIOR

THE MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF
THIS FINE YOUNG MAN TO HIS SCHOOL, HIS COMMUNITY,

Whereas, Peter T. Lee of North Augusta has been named the
valedictorian for the 1992 Senior Class at North Augusta High School;
and
Whereas, this honor is one of many achievements of this amazing young
man who thus far in his life already has experienced success far beyond
the dreams of most men; and
Whereas, Peter is the son of Korean immigrants Myung and Younghi
Lee and has made his parents very proud; and
Whereas, as well as being named the 1992 North Augusta High School
Valedictorian, Peter served as captain of the varsity soccer team and was
named the most valuable defensive player. Peter scored 1440 on the
Scholastic Achievement Test and was a National Merit Finalist and a
member of the Math Team for four years, which was first in the county;
Mu Alpha Theta, the Math Honorary Club; the Science Olympiad Team;
JETS, the Science Club; and the Student Council. Peter attended the
Governor's School and Boys' State and was named to the Hall of Fame
at North Augusta High School; and
Whereas, Peter's activities are not limited to his school. He is active in
his community at Fairview Presbyterian Church where he is a soup
kitchen volunteer once a week. He has found the time to be an Eagle
Scout and play the piano; and
Whereas, in Peter's spare time, he has figured out a way to expand
Pascal's Triangle into a pyramid, creating infinite dimensions and
information in determining probabilities, binomial expansion, sequences
and series, and combinations of these. This discovery is being
researched to determine if it ever has been advanced before; and
Whereas, Peter was named by USA Today as one of twenty students in
the United States to the sixth annual All-USA High School Academic
First Team. He is the only South Carolinian on the team. These
students are honored for outstanding scholarship, intellectual
achievement, and leadership; and
Whereas, Peter received a scholarship as a National Coca Cola finalist
and was a recipient of one of ten National Westinghouse Family
Scholarships; and
Whereas, studying mechanical engineering and computer science for a
career in robotics and artificial intelligence research, Peter will attend
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and
Whereas, the members of the Senate are proud to note the successes of
Peter T. Lee and will watch with interest as Peter most certainly will
continue to distinguish himself in his academic endeavors and to bring
honor to himself in his dedication to always do his best. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the Senate recognize Peter T. Lee of North Augusta
upon being named the valedictorian for the 1992 Senior Class at North
Augusta High School and note the many accomplishments and
contributions of this fine young man to his school, his community, and
this State.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Peter
T. Lee.
