Local Aggies schedule
annual muster service
Former Texas A&M University
students will assemble in Cherokee
County on San Jacinto Day, April 21,
for the annual Texas Aggie Muster
to honor all Texas Aggies who have
died within the last year.
Muster activities, including a meal
followed by the muster program,
will begin at 6 p.m. at the Cherokee
County Electric Co-op, U.S. Highway
69, between Jacksonville and Rusk.
All former and current students, their
families and friends of Texas A&M
University are invited to attend.
TheTexasAggie Muster tradition,
which spans more than a century,
will be observed in more than 300
locations around the world.
These Muster gatherings are
held in many unique places ranging
from battleships and foxholes dur-
ing World War II to ballrooms and
steakhouses today.
Over the years, Aggie Muster has
grown to be one of Texas A&M's
most revered traditions. Muster
honors the memories of A&M men
and women whose deaths prevent
them from answering roll call at
this year's muster. The roll call is
a roster compiled of all former and
current students who have died over
the past year.
As each name is called, a friend
orfamily member will answer"Here"
symbolizing that their memory lives
on in the hearts of Aggies every-
where.
Muster is more than just a cer-
emony; it is also an annual way for
Aggies to renew the loyalty and unity
which constitute the foundation of
their friendship for each other as
well as their love and devotion for
their school.

the Texas Aggie Muster held in
