Clifton High to Get New Track With Jaycees and Volunteers
Clifton High will install a new track this fall replacing the damaged cinder surface washed out by the Bosque River flood. Volunteers from the Jaycees and local workers, led by G. E. Jackson and T. H. Ralph, will handle curbing, cementing, and laying cinders to cut costs from an estimated 8 000 to 9 000 dollar project to under 3 500. The project aims to restore Clifton’s central Texas track prominence and support ongoing Tuesday night meets attracting 100 plus participants.
