  1- 9  appeared to be choking while having her lunch; and 
 
  1-10  WHEREAS, Mrs. Manning happened to walk by the table at which 
  1-11  the young student was eating, noticed that she seemed to be 
  1-12  strangling, and immediately responded by applying the

  1-15  normally; and 
 
  1-16  WHEREAS, Mrs. Manning demonstrated extraordinary skill and 
  1-17  ability throughout this very perilous situation, and her 
  1-18  calm manner and resolute purpose in applying this

  1-20  and 
 
  1-21  WHEREAS, the remarkable courage and timely response of this 
  1-22  astute teacher and her thorough understanding of first aid 
  1-23  practices deserve to be properly recognized and praised. 
 
  1-24  NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the 
  1-25  members of this body recognize and commend Bonnie Manning of 
  1-26  Curtis Baptist School for her heroic action and exceptional 
  1-27  response which saved the life of one of her very own 
  1-28  students. 
 
  1-29  BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is 
  1-30  authorized and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of
