2 Editor’s note: This week’s attention!! page is devoted to original poetry. The story is old and told many ways, But the tradition Hues on even today. The game we were losing, the team hurt and down We would need one more man but none were around. The coach was downhearted, the fans sad and blue, There was no solution. Oh what would we do? When out of the stands, a young man did come. Willing to suit up and ready to run. He was not a player just one of the fans, But a tradition he started, this Aggie Twelfth Man. The game was it won? We do not recall. But the Aggie Twelfth Man we forget not at all. So a statue we built, in honor of him, Right here on campus so our memory won’t dim. And now we all standfrom beginning to end. To prove we will fight like our Aggie Twelfth Man. K. D. DeSavigny Love is a very fragile emotion To be handled with care and earnest devotion, When love is used as a pawn in a game It loses its magic and is never the same. They say time heals all wounds If the mind is willing Then that time must be, An eternity... For emotional wounds etch deep in the soul, And not time, Nor surgeon, Nor spiritual enhancement, Can lighten the hurt, The grief Or extract the pain. Only the presence, Support, And encouragement of another, Will enrich the life of a strained soul— But never to fully heal her wound. Jena Atchison RaeAnn Warmann, a senior journalism major, took tiiis week’s attention!! photo of the Albritton Tower clock because she was amused by the fact that the clock does not use the proper Roman numeral for four on the clock’s face. As it turns out, the clock was designed in France and the designer preferred the 1111 to the traditional IV.
