It’s Great to Be a Member vw •
Z- ' ■ . *•* ' !
* We went to San Antonio last waek-end to take part
•the activities of the annual San Jacinto Festival along with
other members of the freshman units making the trip,
was an experience which will be hard to forget.
Walking down the streets of San Antonio no one could
tell v^hether or not you were an Aggie because of the great
numbe\of military men in uriform, but,when our group
got together and marched down the street, people cheered
and that good old “gig ’um Aggies” could be heard quite
frequently. r r i
It was good to know that rinen more than twice our
still have enough of that Aggie spirit ^instilled in thepi to
stand up and cheer a freshman unit as it marches by. v The
Aggie ihusters had 5 been; held the night before the parade
and more than likely the words of speeches made at the
j|atheri»gs were still Xresh in their minds.
A&M was well represented in the Fiesta celebration.
Maybe not as well as TU or some of the smaller schools of
this area, but we can guarantee you that the people of San
Antonio and thousands of othetjs on hand to see the parade
that didn’t know about our college on the Brazos, have) a
good idea of what A wonderful thinf It la to be an Aggie
because of the ovation our Rose Volunteers, Freshman Dri
Team, and Band received during their performances.
