Facilities Committee Presents
Its Findings, Suggestions
New High School Is Primary Recommendation
By Doha D. Brown
(OUCATKM EIMTOR
CLIFTON—A two-part recommen-
dation that includes a new high
school was presented Oct. 29 to the
Clifton Independent School District
Board of Trustees by Phil Robertson,
chairman of the team charged with
..studying the facilities needs of Clif-
ton ISD.
Calling the process “a tremendous
learning experience,! Robertson be-
gan his overview by advising trust
ees that they would not be receiving
a copy of the final report until after
he had made his presentation.
“1 know the tendency would be to
turn to the last page,” he said. “We
began with the idea to gather infor-
mation about everything before al-
lowing ourselves an opinion about
anything, and that’s what we did.
That’s what we want you to do, also.”
Robertson then reviewed the find-
ings of four subcommittees: the fa-
cilities inventory, facilities needs,
grade alignment, and the site sub-
committee. Those reports are detailed
in a separate article in this issue of
ItaRlOORD.
The chairman told trustees that the
Committee did not focus on money
during the study for two reasons:
“First, because that was not the
question asked, and second, because
a project budget is affected by too
many factors. Those factors include,
among others, the taxpayer’s percep-
tion of the children’s needs, the ma-
terials chosen for construction, and
the economic environment at the time
the project(s) begin.
“Instead, the Committee decided to
base its recommendations on the
charge it was given—to study the
structural space necessary to educate

CLIFTON — The Bosque County
Tourism Council, Inc. has embarked
on a fund-raising effort that is de-
signed to expose children to some of
the activities, occasions, and land-
marks — past and present — of
Bosque County. The Council has pub-
lished Volume I and Volume II of The
Official Bosque County Coloring
Book.
The books are printed on recycled
newsprint and measure 7% x 10Vi
inches, with 24 pages in each book.
Retail price of the books is $1 each
and, according to Tourism Council
President W. Leon Smith, “make ex-
cellent stocking sniffers for the holi-
days."
Volume I contains “Landmarks and
Scenes from Bosque County and the
State of Texas,” said Smith. “It con-
sists of images of buildings and land-
marks from throughout the county—
images you will recognize and want
your children to learn to do so also,
for they are pan of our culture.”
Volume II is subtitled “Odyssey of
Flight” and consists of “an aerial od-
yssey through beautiful Bosque
County, featuring activities and
events that span our lives,” said
Smith. The tourism president ex-
plained that this book touches on
modes of flight and lists many of the
festivals and events that are part of
Bosque County.
“It is part of our mission to promote
tourism within the boundaries of
Bosque County,” said Smith. “Part of
this mission can be accomplished as
we teach our own inhabitants to be
proud of our county. This pride is
expanded as we leant more about our
vast heritage and the institutions, be
they architectural or event-related, in
Bosque County. We hope with the
coloring book to bring some of this
education to our youths in a manner
that’s both insightful and fun. You
learn coloring at a very young age.
It’s universal. So why not allow some
of those images to possess a local fla-
vor?”
“Too, we feel that these books will
become collector’s editions, so we la-
beled them as such. We can see
grandparents buying the books for
their grandkids, and adults getting
copies to have as souvenirs. And, for
the price of a dollar, they are afford-
able for just about everyone. We hope
some institutions or businesses will
buy books in bulk and donate them
to schools and other centers
inhabitated by youths.”
