Welcome!

t gives me a great deal of pleasure as mayor to extend a warm greeting to you.

Whether you are a new resident of our community or a short time visitor, we hope you will agree that Clarendon is a special place with warm caring people and much to offer.

We have a lot to be proud of in Clarendon, and we are excited to share it with you. There are many family activities throughout the year, including the annual Colonel Goodnight Chuckwagon Cookoff in September, the Hedley Cotton Festival in October, the Clarendon Arts Festival also in October, our Courthouse Lighting Ceremony and Small Business Saturday in November, and Christmas shopping events at our local merchants in December.

To learn about our community, I encourage you to stop by our Visitor Center at 110 S. Kearney Street at the Mulkey Theatre. There you’ll find the office of the Chamber of Commerce and the Clarendon Economic Development Corporation and people who can help answer any question you have about our town.

The Mulkey itself is a great source of pride and interest. The 1946 theatre is undergoing a revitalization that will turn it into a conference center and live performance hall in addition to a movie house. We invite you to stop by the Mulkey at night to see its beautiful display of neon and LED lighting. And the best news of all, the Mulkey will have its grand opening on Saturday, May 25, 2019.

In addition to an excellent public school system, we are very proud of Clarendon College, which was rated the number two community college in the State of Texas for student success in 2015 and 2016 and continues to experience a growing enrollment.

The Saints’ Roost Museum is an excellent place to spend some time learning about our history. The Board of 4

Clarendon Mayor Sandy Skelton

Directors is in the early stages of planning for expansion of the museum and those plans should be announced by the Spring of 2019. The museum is open daily Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

Greenbelt Lake, located just north of town, is also something we’re quite proud of. Greenbelt offers fishing, camping and other recreational activities. And we are pleased to have an excellent disc golf course there as well.

Here in town, we encourage you to visit Prospect Park just south of downtown on Kearney Street – a beautiful place for family picnics, reunions, birthday parties, or to just let your kids run and play. During the summer of 2019, construction of a new water recreation facility will begin with the grand opening scheduled for the summer of 2020.

We also invite you to visit our numerous historic markers throughout the city and especially encourage you to visit our beautiful 1890 County Courthouse.

We hope you enjoy your stay and find that Clarendon is a great place to live or visit. On behalf of the City Council and all city employees, welcome to Clarendon!

n 1878, a charismatic preacher led a group of Northern Methodists to the frontier of the Texas Panhandle to settle at the junction of Carroll Creek and the Salt Fork of the Red River. Rev. L.H. Carhart set out to establish a Christian colony built on the values of temperance and education, and he named it Clarendon in honor of his wife, Clara.

As the third settlement in the Panhandle, Clarendon stood apart from the towns of Mobeetie and Tascosa, which were known for saloons and rowdiness. The colony forbade alcohol, built a church as one of its first landmarks, and planned an academy to bring education to the plains. The neighbors said Clarendon

CLARENDON WELCOME GUIDE • SPRING / SUMMER 2019

was where the saints roosted. The nickname stuck… Saints’ Roost.

Nine years later, the future of the colony came into question when it became apparent that the Ft. Worth & Denver Railroad would miss the town. A vote was taken, and by the fall of 1887 houses, businesses, and people were all making the move six miles south to the present site of “new” Clarendon.

The railroad brought people and commerce; but it also brought new lifestyles with saloons and other “vices.” And yet, the town did not lose sight of its original ambitions, becoming the home of the Panhandle’s first Methodist, Catholic, Episcopal, and

African-American congregations and establishing the area’s first college in 1898.

Donley County eventually re-established prohibition in 1902, and Saints’ Roost again banished alcohol sales until 2013 when voters reversed the 111-year-old tradition.

Today, if you like, you can raise a glass in old Saints’ Roost, but there’s no escaping the town’s original character. With a variety of churches and faith-based services and one of the highest-rated community colleges in the state, Clarendon remains true to its principles and welcomes visitors and newcomers to stay all night… or stay a little longer.

Generation to Generation

We’ve been here since the beginning,

and we’ve seen a lot... the relocation of the town, saloons, murders, a hanging, prohibition and its demise, the birth of a college, floods and droughts, the rise of a dam, war, peace, life, and death.

The successes and heartbreaks of our community.

Recorded for the people of the time and for posterity.

Our duty then. Our commitment for the future.

Celebrating the 25th year!

Chuckwagon Cookoff Since 1995, the Saints’ Roost Museum has paid tribute to the legendary Panhandle cattleman Col. Charles Goodnight with a cookoff in his honor on the fourth Saturday in September. Over the last two decades, the museum fundraiser has grown to be one of the most popular events Clarendon hosts and is considered as one of the best Chuckwagon cookoffs in the nation, receiving the 2014 Event Award from the American Chuck Wagon Association.

Gatlin Duncan cooks up chicken fried steak for the Honey-Do Spoiler Wagon during the 2017 Col. Charles Goodnight Chuckwagon Cookoff.

When the colonel bolted a food box and folding table to the rear of a surplus army wagon in 1866, he probably never dreamed the impact his “Chuck” wagon would have throughout the West. The invention became commonplace

ENTERPRISE PHOTO

on cattle drives and ranches everywhere, serving not only as a kitchen but also a post office, parlor, hospital, store room, and cowboy social center.

Every year, the Col. Charles Goodnight Chuckwagon Cookoff hosts more than a dozen cooking teams working on authentic wagons who go head-to-head to battle for cash prizes and bragging rights at one of the nation’s premier cookoffs.

Clarendon and the Museum extend a special invitation for you to join us Saturday, September 28, 2019, for a celebration of the Old West, which is gone but never forgotten. We know you will enjoy it, and we look forward to seeing you.

Those sculptures

by Charles A. Smith are just two among dozens of similar arrows across 52 counties in the Panhandle and South Plains installed to honor historical sites, events, and artifacts in museums that link this region to the Native Americans who last roamed this area. It is named after Quanah Parker to recognize his role as the chief of the Comanche people.

The markers in Clarendon and Goodnight highlight the historic relationship between Quanah Parker and Col. Charles Goodnight, and the Native American artifacts and Red River Wars exhibits in the Museum as well as memorializing the presence of native people in this area.

The Mulkey Theatre A

fter ten long years of work, the Mulkey Theatre will re-open Saturday, May 25, 2019, to thrill movie goers again and provide a local venue for performing arts and public meetings.

The Mulkey has come a long way since it was named to Preservation Texas’ 2011 Most Endangered Places List.

For more than two decades, the 1946 streamline moderne style theatre had been dark. Its neon was destroyed by man and the elements. Glass panels of its marquee were missing or broken, ceramic tiles on its front were cracked, doors were weathered beyond repair, and inside, the theatre was a bleak shadow of its former self.

But today the Mulkey has a fresh new look and its modern LED and neon lighting creates an inviting glow in downtown Clarendon that serves as a beacon of hope for the future of the theatre and the town.

Following the publicity of its “endangered” status, the Clarendon Economic Development Corporation led efforts to raise funds to restore neon lettering on the theatre’s marquee in the summer of 2011 and then remodeled a former barbershop in the front of the building in 2012 to serve as the city’s official Visitor Center housing the CEDC and Chamber of Commerce office.

Succeeding project phases refurbished the exterior of the theatre and the lobby and concession areas, upgrading the plumbing and electrical services, and improved the accessibility of the building.

In 2017, the Mulkey was the subject of special documentary film. Howardwick residents Dusty and Nikki Green, who star in the nationally syndicated PBS show “Two For The Road,” interviewed local residents and produced the film: “Cinema City - The Mulkey and Clarendon.”

Interviewees included Bob Bell, the son of Lee Bell, who oversaw construction of the theatre as the business manager of Lema Mulkey. Other interviews focused on the history of the theatre and what it meant to the people of Clarendon from the 1940s through the early 1980s.

26

CLARENDON WELCOME GUIDE • SPRING / SUMMER 2019

To view “Cinema City,” visit ClarendonTX.com/ mulkey.

Also in February 2017, Preservation Texas presented an Honor Award to the Mulkey to recognize local efforts to save the historic structure.

Work on the final phase of improvements began in January 2019 with the installation of digital projection equipment, a new screen, stage lights, and a modern sound system. New seats will provide theatre attendees the most comfortable experience possible, and those watching performances from the balcony can enjoy premium recliner seating and accommodations.

If you would like to help support the ongoing mission of the Mulkey, donations can be made to the Clarendon Community Fund, PO Box 906, Clarendon, TX 79226, by noting “Mulkey Theatre” in the memo. For more information, call Roger Estlack at 806-874-2259.

Lake Greenbelt

LOCATION Situated along State Hwy. 70 about five miles north of Clarendon and 13 miles south of Interstate 40. Entrances on the north and south sides of the dam. Entry permits required. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times.

Filter Plant 806-874-3650 4610 Hwy 70 North Lakeside Marina 806-874-5111 4699 County Road 11 (South Lake Entrance) Open Daily 8-5 (Closed for season after first freeze.)

Opening Celebration, May 1968.

F

or more than fifty years, Lake Greenbelt has provided drinking water for area communities and served as a center of recreation for tens of thousands of local and regional anglers and water sports enthusiasts.

As the single biggest ongoing tourist attraction in Donley County, Greenbelt is a major employer and contributor to the community and has built a reputation as a family friendly destination for fishing, boating, camping, and other outdoor activities.

The groundwork that eventually led to Lake Greenbelt was laid in 1950 when compact was signed between Donley, Armstrong, and Collingsworth county representatives. Attending that first meeting were C. B. (Cap) Morris and J. R. Porter, Ray J. Noblitt, W. Carroll Knorpp and W. S. Whaley.

Although the member communities changed over time, work moved steadily forward. On April 14, 1954, a bill was introduced before the 53rd Legislature, and Gov. Allen Shivers signed the Act creating the Greenbelt Municipal and Industrial Water Authority.

On March 29, 1966, contracts for the dam, filtration plant and pipeline were let. Construction price was $3,685,635.96, broken down into $1,795,514.06 for the dam; $624,941, filtration plant, and $1,230,180.90, pipeline. A month later, groundbreaking ceremonies were held.

Two years later, Lake Greenbelt opened with a five-day celebration that began on Wednesday, May 29, 1968.

Clarendon College

elcome to Clarendon College! A small but great college in a small but great community. We are proud of our rich history and traditions as we look to our future with great anticipation.

Our enrollment has been and continues to grow at one of the highest percentages in the state. This is the cumulative effect of the hard work and efforts of a dedicated faculty and staff at the College.

This is also the results of many partnerships with service area ISDs and high schools to make dual credit more available to our students.

It is a continuing goal of the College to increase offerings to our high

schools and also look at career and technical education programs that will be meaningful not only to the student but to their local community.

The College has started its new strategic plan, Clarendon College: Without Equal, and this comprehensive plan will guide the College through its next three to five years.

One of our greatest commitments is to student success: our graduation rate, which is one of the best in the state of Texas, prepares our students for continued success at the senior institution level. One of the greatest indicators of student success is the completion of an

Clarendon College President Dr. Robert K. Riza

Associate’s Degree. The College has worked hard these past years to find and remove barriers to student success and made resources available to increase their graduation rates.

WE are Clarendon College: Without Equal.

What’s New: Clarendon College’s fall enrollment was the highest in the institution’s history with a headcount of 1,639.

It’s a dramatic increase compared to where the college was just four years ago. Enrollment in 2014 was 1,211, and CC has posted growth every fall since then. This past fall’s enrollment is more than 35 percent higher than 2014’s headcount.

The growth is particularly impressive when the regional unemployment rate is taken into consideration. Enrollment usually dips when unemployment is low. “We’re at what’s considered full employment in the Texas Panhandle,” Dr. Riza says.

Enrollment in the spring semester is also at an all-time high and set a record for the fourth year in a row.

What’s New: Clarendon CISD has been working much of 2018 to implement new security measures designed to keep students safe.

The school district recently adopted its “Portrait of a CCISD Graduate - 21st Century Bronco.”

Clarendon Public Schools

larendon CISD joins our entire community in welcoming you to our historical city. Our goal is to provide a quality education in a safe, supportive environment rich with technology. We acknowledge that not all lessons are taught in classrooms and look for teachable moments in all our endeavors. We want to recognize and reward our student servant leaders and inspire all of our students to do their very best in whatever they do and in how they treat one another and our staff.

We believe our academic programs and classes are second to none in our area, and work to challenge our students to grow academically and personally.

Our unrivaled staff continually sharpens their skills through training and practice, all of which gives our students multiple opportunities for achievement.

Clarendon CCISD strives to prepare our students for success beyond high school graduation. We believe that working with technology is key in this effort; therefore, we have a 1 to 1 program in grades 3-12 with MacBook Airs, Chromebooks, a number of computers in classrooms and carts, Promethean smart boards in every classroom, and a commitment to stay on the leading edge of instructional technology by investing in training, infrastructure, and devices in the hands of our students to make that technology meaningful.

Additionally, we are making our buildings safer for our staff and students through a series of vestibules and visitor management improvements.

Clarendon CISD has a strong history of success in all sports and has seen our recent teams and individuals compete for district championships and often go on

lengthy playoff runs and make state level events. For example, we have had a participant in the last 5 cross-country state meets. The Broncos went 3 rounds deep into this past football season’s playoffs; this after a 4 round-run last year! Our boys and girl’s varsity basketball teams annually make the playoffs as do the baseball and softball teams, and our academic teams and individuals routinely go to the state UIL meet in Austin and medal. The Junior High and Elementary UIL participants compete for and win district titles every year. We encourage all of our students to participate in extracurricular activities from sports and band to UIL, FFA, and One Act Play.

We value our relationship with Clarendon College and offer up to 20 Dual Credit courses through them each year, including a Dual Credit welding program where students could take up to 12 hours and earn the Occupational Skills Award. We have had students earn up to 42 or more college hours, enough to put them in Sophomore level classes when they enroll in college or a university after high school graduation. We are fortunate to have the use the PEAK Scholarship to help pay for the Dual Credit classes, much to the financial benefit of our students and their parents. The unique partnership between CCISD and Clarendon College allows us to share a certified Spanish teacher who comes all the way from Spain.

We look forward to growing our collaboration for the benefit of our students.

A school may be identified by its facilities, programs, extracurricular success, and even its accountability ratings. But it is the people that make the difference; our students, parents, teachers, aides, secretaries,

Clarendon Superintendent Mike Norrell cafeteria workers, custodians and maintenance, bus drivers, principals, nurse, counselor, technology and special program specialists, and board. These people make our programs, facilities, and triumphs possible.

We are very proud of our students and our dedicated, passionate staff. Our graduates are competing collegiately in athletics and on world-class judging teams. Our graduates have and continue to successfully enter the fields of medicine, law, education, agriculture, technology, science, journalism, business, and even politics!

As we break for the summer, we want you know that our school is a great place for your kids to learn, gain meaningful, relevant experiences, and make lifetime memories in a safe environment.

If you are considering moving to Clarendon or attending our school, please come see us sometime this summer and get to know what we have to offer. All at Clarendon CISD wish you a very enjoyable summer and we hope you enjoy your visit to our great town.

And on a daily basis the school works to prepare students for life after a high school diploma. To find out more and see student success in action, go online to: https://bit.ly/2B11w0L
