Aggies ‘Take’ Fort Worth
The 1967 Corps Trip to Fort
Worth might well have been
called the Aggie Weekend.
Fort Worth was characterized
by overflowing motel and hotel
rooms and homes opened to Ag
gies by relatives. Many an Ag
gie will remember the hard floor
of a motel or home long after
the “saddle sores” have gone
away.
Friday afternoon, the advance
units swarmed over the campus
of Texas Woman’s University in
Denton to start the wild week
end. A few hours later, when the
dances honoring the Aggies be
gan, it became manifestly clear
that the latecomers were at a dis
advantage.
Even though the Corps Staff
was a few blocks ahead of the
Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band most
of the way, the parade went off
rather smoothly.
The parade and parties were
only a part of the weekend in
Fort Worth—the Aggies came
through again and won over TCU
by a score of 20-0. Thus killing
part of another old saying from
Aggieland, “We got outscored,
but we beat the hell out of the
parties.”
Sunday, several thousand glum
Aggies were reminded of another
old saying as they passed high
way markers on the way home:
“Highway 6 runs both ways.”
But just as important as what
happened over the weekend was
what didn’t happen for the first
weekend of the 1967 fall semes
ter, Silver Taps were not played
on Monday night.
