Sundown, Texas
An Open Letter To The Voters
Of The Sundown
Independent School District
Since my decision to run for election of the Sundown
School Board, I have attempted to contact each of you person-
ally. However, I realize I have failed to make contact with
some of you, not by choice, but by conflict of our time.
Therefore, I take this opportunity to seek your support and
vote in the upcoming run-off election to be held May 26th.
As most of you know, I am not a newcomer to our
district. I have lived in Sundown all my life, graduated from
SHS in 1970, and attended South Plains College. I married a
local girl, the former Cathy Shaw. We have two sons Justin
and Cory, both students in the Sundown School. I am em-
ployed by the Chevron Oil Company, working in the local
area. Cathy is employed by the Sundown School District. We
own our own home and are property taxpayers of the Sun-
down Community. We are active members of the First Baptist
Church where I teach a youth Sunday School Class. I have
worked with youths of our community over the past several
years, being actively involved in Little Dribblers and Little
League. I eqjoy working with youth and am concerned about
their welfare, not only of today, but likewise of their future.
I support education and believe each -child of our
community should expect and receive the best oUr Sundown
School can give. In fact, I believe education should be first
and foremost in the minds of all school board members. Each
student of our community deserves to receive the highest
education possible within our school. I believe our school
administrators and teachers should continuously strive and
explore any and all possibilities to improve and update all
educational outlets, making our school top in the field of
educational availabilities. To do this, we must achieve the
goal of having and keeping good teachers within our schools.
I support all employment levels of our school, be it a certified
or uncertified position. It takes the entire level of employ-
ment to keep our schools a place to be proud o£ Devoted and •
dedicated employees doing their best, and being successful at
the job they were hired to do, have a right to expect the best
employment benefit package our school can afford. They
have a right to have a school they can count on.
I support our taxpayers, and feel they are entitled to
expect their tax dollars to be put to proper use in the field of
education. Being raised in an oilfield, I know the majority of

"Etiquette is based on the Golden
Rule," said Cindy Brown, SPC
Associate Professor of Fashion
Merchandising, "do unto others as you
would have them to unto you." Based
on information from Dale Carnegie,
people get a job based 15% on technical
skillsand 85% based on interpersonal
skills, personality, and other traits. Mrs.
Brown discussed communication —
verbal and non-verbal—, telephone
skills, common rules to follow for
interviews, proper dress, and now to
make introductions.
On Thursday,participants were in
actual mock interview situations with
these interviewers: Lolo Mercado,
Charles McRill, Charles "Butch" Wade,
Holly Lynch, Barry Jones, Steve
Turner John Thacker, and Nita El lord.
Before the interviews, good and bad
examples of interviews were
demonstrated.

program on Friday afternoon, Barbara

tions were filled-in.

cation. Specifics discussed included

personal interests in choosing a job
and the heed to set goals. Dr. Couch

potential" through education, reading

trainings such as J.A.W.S., or other

"One-way and two-way communication
both exist and communication is usually
more effective when both parties have
a part," stated Dr. Couch. "Bosses
communicate with employees, but
employees must also communicate
with the bosses and with other
employees. Communication must flow
in all directions." Through various ✓
activities, these youth were challenged T

or a chance.
