Uh... I don't think he's going to make it...

I have had this photo on Flickr for some years, but I am just putting it on today for a short time with all the celebrations of the first climbing of Everest.
This photo was taken just over a year later. I am the smaller boy!
Same paper -- two different front pages. Grrr! We think it is because a vase was thrown after midnight and can just picture the paper yelling "STOP THE PRESSES A VASE WAS THROWN OHMIGOD ALL HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE." So, two different headlines and two different photos. LAME.
"The Last Corps Trip"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was Judgment Day in Aggieland
And tenseness filled the air;
All knew there was a trip at hand,
But not a soul knew where.
Assembled on the drill field
Was the world-renowned Twelfth Man,
The entire fighting Aggie team
And the famous Aggie Band.
And out in front with Royal Guard
The reviewing party stood;
St. Peter and his angel staff
Were choosing bad from good.
First he surveyed the Aggie team
And in terms of an angel swore,
"By Jove, I do believe I've seen
This gallant group before.
I've seen them play since way back when,
And they've always had the grit;
I've seen 'em lose and I've seen 'em win
But I've never seen 'em quit.
No need for us to tarry here
Deciding upon their fates;
Tis plain as the halo on my head
That they've opened Heaven's gates."
And when the Twelfth Man heard this,
They let out a mighty yell
That echoed clear to Heaven
And shook the gates of Hell.
"And what group is this upon the side,"
St. Peter asked his aide,
"That swelled as if to burst with pride
When we our judgment made?"
"Why, sir, that's the Cadet Corps
That's known both far and wide
For backing up their fighting team
Whether they won lost or tied."
"Well, then," said St. Peter,
"It's very plain to me
That within the realms of Heaven
They should spend eternity.
And have the Texas Aggie Band
At once commence to play
For their fates too we must decide
Upon this crucial day."
And the drum major so hearing
Slowly raised his hand
And said, "Boys, let's play The Spirit
For the last time in Aggieland."
And the band poured forth the anthem,
In notes both bright and clear
And ten thousand Aggie voices
Sang the song they hold so dear.
And when the band had finished,
St. Peter wiped his eyes
And said, "It's not so hard to see
They're meant for Paradise."
And the colonel of the Cadet Corps said
As he stiffly took his stand,
"It's just another Corps Trip, boys,
We'll march in behind the band."

P.H. Duval Jr '51
This is one of the most famous poems about the Aggie Corps. It is read at Bonfire, and Muster each year, as well as any time we have trouble putting that Aggie Spirit within us into words.
Things were very tense and at one point the police lost their tempers and came out into the crowd swinging.

Friday morning, police moved in to take over the PAD protest site near the Makkhawan Rangsan bridge on Ratchadamnoen avenue, prompting a brief clash with the PAD protesters.
The protesters later retook the site after driving a truck into the band of police who retreated.
The clash erupted after police tried to remove barricades put up by the PAD at its protest site, leaving three injured.
Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej said the clash between the police and PAD supporters followed police action to comply with the court order.
"In fact, police could have finished their job [on Friday], but I told them to step back because if they went forward, there would have been a bloody clash."
