In many lands and climes, this April day
Proud sons of Texas A&M unite.
Our loyalty to country, school, we pay,
And seal our pact with bond of common might.
We live again those happy days of yore,
On campus, field, in classroom, hall, at drill.
Fond memory brings a sigh--but nothing more:
Now we are men, and life is one great thrill!
On fortress isle eighty-four years ago today,
A group of gallant Aggies, led by Moore,
Held simple rites which to us all doth say:
The spirit shall prevail o'er cannon roar!
They thought of home and all we hold most dear:
Where are they now--those boys we knew so well?
Ask of the winds, let smile repress a tear,
Think only of their glory when they fell!
Corregidor! forever more a hallowed name
To countless sons of Texans yet unborn;
Symbolic like, it stands for deathless fame:
A shrine sublime till Resurrection morn!
Softly call the muster,
Let comrade answer, “Here!”
Their spirits hover ‘round us:
As if to bring us cheer!
Mark them "present" in our hearts,
We’ll meet some other day.
There is no Death, but Life Eterne
For heroes such as they!
- Dr. John Ashton
This week's Lion of the Week is Jordan Priesmeyer!
Jordan has demonstrated exceptional dedication as a student athletic trainer. She is also a varsity member of SJ23 Track and Field, where she is one of the top shot-put throwers in the district. Great job, Jordan!
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the
wickedness & snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
& do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
& all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
Heartbreaking news from Kerr County this evening.
Kellyanne Lytal, daughter of Trinity University offensive coordinator Wade Lytal, was found after the floods—tragically, she did not survive.
Our prayers are with the Lytal family and the entire Trinity Football program as they grieve this unimaginable loss
The Lytal family has started a foundation in her honor https://t.co/xfm3cei4K4
