More Improvement
The Class of ’60 took action Wednesday to correct the
sham of a Yell Practice that has in recent years been called
Midnight Yell Practice.
The senior class has taken the initial step in returning
f Midnight Yell Practice to its old role as an important pari
of the Aggie 1 Spirit.
Through the leadership and Spirit shown by the Class
of ’60, Midnight Yell Practice can once again become an
Aggie tradition of which to be justly proud—not something
to go to for laughs.
With the support of all the Men of Aggieland, the re
vised Midnight Yell Practice will once again be a place to take
our dates and other campus visitors to show them the real
Aggie Spirit.
Unity behind the move of the Class of ’60 will mean
the end to fables and jokes. In their place will come talks
to build Aggie Spirit.
True, it is another change from the way things were,
but like almost all the changes made this year, It’s a move
in the direction of making Texas A&M a better place to be
, . or to be from.
Besides, the way things were wasn’t so good. Each day
brings more proof that the new way of doing things is
reaping more and more benefits for Texas A&M and Aggies.
The success of the new Midnight Yell Practice, like all
the improvements being made this year, depends upon how
well the Men of Aggieland stand behind it.
With the help of all, it will work and another tradition
will regain the stature it on.ce held.

RIGHT PLACE AT RIGHT TIME
OMAHA (AP) As far as Mrs.
Harold Rock was concerned, her
nursing class couldn’t have pick
ed a better place for a reunion
than Clarkson Hospital.
In the midst of the reunion,
Mrs. Rock realized something was
about to happen which would take
precedence over the reunion.
She took the elevator to the
maternity ward where a short
time later she gave birth to a
six pound, 15 ounce son.
