Happy Mothers Day
After weeks of preparing exhibits,
straightening out rooms, and getting clothes
cleaned, the Aggies are ready to show their
school to the people who made it possible
for them to be here—their parents.
Thousands of parents will crowd the cam
pus, as their sons take them around to all
the activities—at least one exhibit, demon
stration, or open house for each facet of
campus life.
It’s hard to get in one or two days an
idea of what A&M is like and what it does,
but the Mothers day weekend is the closest
thing the average parent can get to it.
When he goes home, an Aggie is liable
to talk in esoteric terms like “bullneck,”
“drown-out,” “ram,” “bull ring,” and such.
Must be pretty incomprehensible to the pa
rents.
The parents also must wonder about what
their son does with his time down here—
they know studying doesn’t take all of it.
So down they come for Mothers day, to
see if they can figure it all out.
They’ll learn a lot while they’re here,
and see all sorts of interesting things. The
first-timers—the freshmen’s mothers — will
be seeing things for the first time, and the
others will be renewing old acquaintances.
But all of them will come away with a
little of what A&M means to their sons, and
that’s worth all the time and effort of prepar
ation.
