Mat will be purchased for Prom
Becky Boyer
News Editor
At the January school board
meeting, the board approved a bid
for a mat to cover the new activity
center’s floor during this year’s
Prom.
At the December school board
meeting, the board approved the
request to accept bids to purchase
the mat.
“The high school administra-
tion made the request because the
floor must be recovered in order to
eliminate having to pay the ex-
pensive costs to have the floor re-
finished,” Superintendent Joe Ti-
son said.
The cost to repair the floor would
be more than the cost to initially
buy the mat, Tison said.
“Sides Supply out of Houston
was the only company who bid for
the mat,” Mike Roberts, from the
WISD business office said, “so,
we awarded them the bid.”
The board offered bids to three
companies, but only this one re-
sponded, he said.
According to Roberts, Sides
Supply bid on two different types
of vinal covering, a 13.5 mm type
and a 20.5 mm type.
“We have decided to purchase
' the thicker type,” he said.
“Since the prom is going to be
held here, we want to keep the
floor looking new without having
to repeatedly sand the floor down,”
Tison said.
Without the mat, the gym would
only be suitable for sporting events.
Shoes without rubber soles will
ruin the finish on the floor, Tison
said.
“Aledo High School and
Granbury High School both have
this type of covering. We want to
go to their facilities and look at
their mats before putting in a pur-
chase order for one,” Roberts said.
The mat will cost approximately
$8,500, he said.
“Once the purchase order has
been issued, the mat will be deliv-
ered within about a month,”
Roberts said.
Pizza man supports all Roo events
Kathy Canright
Features Editor
The community knows him by his pizzas, but
around here, every student knows him as Weath-
erford High School’s biggest supporter.
Roger Grizzard has supported WHS activities
for 15 years. He started working at The Pizza
Place in 1976.
“I really care about kids,” Grizzard said. “I
want them to know that adults care about them
too.”
Grizzard is known for his support of the ath-
letic department. He also helps out with other
clubs and the WHS band.
“I help with the band trips and hold spaghetti
dinners for them,” he said.
Grizzard supports the Booster Club, and he
always puts game information on his restaurant
marquee. Last year he was co-chairman of Proj-
ect Graduation
“I wanted to get involved,” he said.
Grizzard said relating to teenagers is impor-
tant
“The Pizza Place is a place for kids to come
hang out at and not have to worry about spending
any money,” he said.“I love to see the kids eat
here and talk.”
Grizzard believes there are many other citizens
in Weatherford who have equally supported WHS,
but they are not quite as obvious.
“I make several trips during the school year to
talk to classes about what it is like being a small
business manager,” he said. “Kids need to learn
how to interact with other people. That’s what
makes a high school great!”
