FALL MINI-REUNION: The CLASS of '48 celebrated a pre-game victory march (?) before the
Aggie gridders changed the name of the Notre Dame fight song to the Notre Dame Loser' s
March with a mini-reunion. The event was held in the Student Recreation and Activities Center
on the Aggie campus. A question had arisen as to whether the Aggies have ever lost following
one of our minis?
We did upset Nebraska, Kansas State, and, now, Notre Dame following a mini. Let's make
Texas Tech the next victim on October 5. Here are a couple of pictures provided by VICTOR
PRASSEL (who as FISH PRASSEL was so very privileged and happy to double date with
Mr. Spears the A Battery executive officer. Ask him if you want to know more.)
