on the band hall. Honea's bid was
$6,867. A factor which also swayed
trustees to deal with this construc-
tion company was that Miller's
report indicated that this bidder
could get the work completed before
school resumed, while it was not
clear whether the other contractor
could finish the work by that time.
Other actions concerning the ac-
ceptance of bids by the Clifton ISD
trustees included the renewal of
contracts with the Rainbo Bread
Company and Oak Farms, the
present supplier of the school’s
dairy products. Rainbo was, in ev-
ery instance, more competitive with
prices than Mrs Baird's Bakeries,
also a contender for the contract.
On some items, Pure Milk was
less expensive than Oak Farms
while Oak Farms proved to be
cheaper on others. Based on last
year's purchases, the recommenda-
tion was to stay with Oak Farms,
as well as Rainbo, since these
wholesalers had performed well in
the previous season.
Money Appropriated For
Equipment, Capital
Acquisition Requests
Clifton's school board approved
the purchase of a vast number of re-
quests from the elementary school,
middle school, and high school for
the 1989-90 school year.
The elementary school will be
equipping its science lab with more
than a dozen new microscopes and
a set of balance scales. Classroom
teachers will be glad to know that
requests for tables, file cabinets,
overhead projectors with carts,
manipulatives, and kitchenettes for
the Kindergarten were among those
granted. Also included were projec
tor screens, three computer
printers, a wood easel, a Texas map,
a Carousel Slide projector,
80-column text cards, and that long-
hoped-for Ellison press.
Capital acquisition requests ap-
proved for the middle school in-

to some of the others at the race
track.
The exterior of the transformed
Camaro, custom-painted by Donnie
Lueck of Temple, is white, black,
and orange with a pearlized finish,
and it bears the names of five
sponsors—including Driver Tire of
Laguna Park and the following
Clifton businesses: Poston Automo-
tive, Bosque Supply, Clifton Aero,
and Brett Crawson’s employer, San-
dy’s Auto Parts.
“The art work was done by Tom
Rich of Cen-Tex Auto Color in
Killeen," Lusk said, pointing to the
Clifton Aero legend on the back of
“Bad Medicine." ‘‘We really ap
preciate these advertisers’ partici-
pation. and we want them to know
it.”
“They’re the main reason I work
to keep this car so clean," Crawson
added. “We want our advertisers to
be proud of the car, and we want to
be sure spectators can see who they
are.”
“I just can’t say enough about the
people who’ve helped make this pos-
sible,” Lusk said, naming others
who had either helped out or
worked on the car. “Charles Harless
of China Spring, at Chubb’s Au
tomotive, did my machine work and
the engine builder was Lee McMil-
lan of Clifton. The high-tech electri-
cal part was done by Tom Maddox,
next door at Maddox Tractor &
Repair; and Donald Rueter is our
mechanic. Donald knows a lot about
k Hs'i had them in previous
wmm mmtrmrm <
the races to help out.”
Lusk also indicated that Tim Tal-
ley of Clifton Aero had been supply-
ing aviation fuel for the car.
When asked how he arrived at the
name “Bad Medicine," Lusk re-
plied, “My son heard it in a song,
and I liked it. Actually, I wanted to
name the speedboat I race for a
Waco friend of mine ‘Bad Medicine,’
but the boat’s owner is a pharma-
cist. so he didn’t think ‘Bad Medi-
cine' would be the best of names in
his profession.” Lusk laughed. “He
seemed to think ‘Flat Crazy’ was
more appropriate!”
For now, Lusk is pleased with the
extent of racing at the Temple
Academy Dragway; however, he
would like to eventually put his
awesome auto to the test in Ennis.
In the meantime, Brett Crawson,
whose fans also include his grand-
parents, Herbert and Martha
Reichert of Valley Mills, is learning
to be a graceful winner.
“Not long ago I beat a friend of
mine from TSTI. I hated to do it,"
Crawson said, a trace of regret in
his voice, “but one of us had to win."
The up-and-coming driver told of
another experience. “At the end of
one of the races," he said, “the
driver got out of his car and started
over towards me to congratulate
me. I remember thinking, ‘Golly, I
just beat an old man!’ ” Crawson
said the man was 65 or so. “I felt
bad at first. But then I realized how
much experience the other guy had,
and the respect he had for me. Then
I felt pretty good.”
But Crawson knows it takes more
grace to be a good loser. He recalled
one of his earlier races when he was
beaten by a woman.
“She was driving a Ford
Mustang," he said.
“It was a 6-cylinder wasn’t it?"
Daryl Lusk asked him.
Don't think so*-i
lievl it
4-cylinder.”
Lusk grinned from behind his
desk. "Don’t make it any worse
than it was, Brett!”
But it’s just this kind of Bimple
honesty between Lusk and Crawson
and their appreciation for life's lit-
tle pleasures th <t is sure to keep
both friendship and “Bad Medicine"
on a steady course.

volved the purchase of new
classroom microscopes. Other items
that will soon be in use at the mid-
dle school are: molded plastic stack
chairs and folding tables for the
computer lab; an overhead projector
with stand, a color TV/VCR/rolling
stand combination and a six-station
cassette recorder with three sets of
headphones; two World wall map
sets on rollers and a U.S. History
map set on rollers; wall mats for the
new gym, to be mounted behind the
basketball goals, and an electronic
possession indicator; and various fil-
ing cabinets, a chair for the TAG
classroom teacher and electric wall
clocks for the new classrooms.
Clifton's high school will get a file
cabinet and seven computer tables
in the JTPA Learning Center; an
electric range, a server and an ice
cream freezer for its Home Econom-
ics Department; and an overhead
projector, two projection screens, a
marker board, a file cabinet, typing
stands, and a lectern to fulfill its in-
structional needs.
The trustees postponed a decision
concerning the high school’s com-
puter lab in order to do further
research On figures. Also, an
$11,470 request for instruments to
be used in the band program was ta-
bled with a message being sent back
to those assessing the program's
needs to prioritize those instru-
ments needed most. The discussion
among board members indicated
that the trustees were uncomforta-
ble with spending this sum of
money for something that is only
used by a small segment of the stu
dent body. Comments were also
made concerning amounts that
were appropriated to the band in
the 1988-89 school year. When faced
with the cost of the instruments list
ed in the capital acquisition re-
quests, one trustree remarked,
“Ask them which one they want
this year!”
Resignations and New-Hires
Letters of resignation from three
Clifton ISD teachers were accepted
by trustees following executive ses
sion. Among those leaving are Jan
Zuehlke, who worked in the Read
ing Improvement and Basic Skills
program; Clifton Elementary P.E.
teacher and coach Doug Shanafelt;
and Bert Maddux, baseball coach
and social studies teacher.
Supt. Liardon said that it is his
understanding that Zuehlke, wife of
Trustee Lawrence Zuehlke, will be
acting as an independent consultant
in reading programs in this area
Shanfelt, Liardon said, will be the
head baseball coach in Gorman,
where he will also be acting
footbkll tea
As for Maddux, the superinten-
dent wasn’t certain, although he
said he felt he would know more
about each of the resignee's plans
after their “exiting interview," a
customary practice when leavihg
the school's payroll.
Beth Baker will take the
math/computer position at Clifton's
middle school and Wanda Green
will replace Jan Zuehlke, said
Liardon, working to improve the
reading and basic skills of students.
8chool Lunches To Increase
Cost of school lunches for the
1989-90 school year will increase as
a result of the trustees' approval.
Last year, the group breakdown
and prices for lunches were: K-3, $1;
4-8, $1.20; 9-12, $1.30; adult, $1.60;
and reduced, $.40.
Under the new plan, charges will
be as follows; K-2, $1; 3-6, $1.25; 6-8,
$1.30; 9-12, $1.36; and adults, $1.66.
During this segment of the meet-
ing, Trustee Zuehlke expressed his
feelings that the prices were still a
good value. “Anyone who doesn’t
think these meals are a bargain
ought to check out the convenience
store prices. The other day I paid
$1.45 for a Coke and a candy bar!”
Other Business
The 1989-90 Chapter II Budget,
allocating $6,441 — $20 of which
was rolled forward and the balance
provided by the State for media
services and library tools—was ap-
proved.
A comprehensive proposal for an
honors course entitled “English ID
Honors Composition and American
Literature” was presented to the
board for approval. High School
Principal Ronnie Massey told
trustees that about 16-18 students,
in accordance with the criteria for
the honors program, would be quali-
fied to take the course. He explsined
that the elevated English III would
be no problem for his teachers'
workload with small classes such ss
the one expected this fall. However,
Massey expressed concern at being
able to offer the course in those
years producing large numbers of
students. In the end, the school
board gave its consent to submit the
proposal form drafted by Mary Lou
Hughes, to the Texas Education
Agency, to be implemented upon
the agency’s approval.
Board President Clarence Fields,
Jr. and others discussed possible ac-
tivities in which the Clifton School
Board might recognize the school
district’s staff. Board members
made plana, which they prefer not
to be disclosed at this time, to honor
those who ere committed to the edu-
cation of Clifton's children.
Administrators from each of the
schools gave updates on various
repairs and other work in progress
or to be done before the ensuing
school term.
