Muster
Continued from Page 1
“The first time I went to Muster was an
amazing experience,” he said. “People are
going to gather here one day and remem
ber us in the Roll Call for the Absent be
cause we are Aggies.”
Spoede said the Class of ’48 expects
more than 170 graduates, about 25 percent
of the class to return for Muster and the 50
year reunion.
Muster will include the lighting of a final
candle this year to recognize other Muster
ceremonies held around the world.
The first Muster celebrated the victory at
the Battle of San Jacinto in 1883 and devel
oped as a tradition. The first A&M Muster
ceremony was in 1944.
Most memorable to many Aggies is the
Muster celebrated in 1942 on the island of
Corregidor under Japanese fire, days before
the island fell to the Japanese.
Spoede said the meaning of the Muster
ceremony endures despite changes made
over time.
“Change is inevitable,” Spoede said.
Texas A&M has changed significantly
since Spoede was an undergraduate and
students outside the Corps began attend
ing the university.
Gene Stallings, a member of the Class of
’57 and former football captain, will speak at
the ceremony. Stallings was named A&M’s
head coach in 1965 and later became an as
sistant coach for the Dallas Cowboys. In 1990,
he became head coach at Alabama and guid
ed that team to a national championship.
Since Stallings graduated, the ceremony has
moved from Kyle Field to the MSC to G. Rollie
White Coliseum, its home since the 1970s.
From the seats of the new 12,500-seat
arena, Spoede’s children and six grandchil
dren will watch as the lights go dim and the
candles grow bright.
Spoede said he is looking forward to the ex
perience of watching Muster in Reed Arena.
“Muster means a lot to me, and I am look
ing forward to the ceremony,” Spoede said.
“The Class of ’48 will lead the way into
the future."
