  • Packet of 1St Place Essays
    Embracing Culture Through the Universal Language of Mankind “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life, and to everything.” These are the words of Plato, and despite being spoken centuries ago, the remarkable and universal truth that can be found in them has far from dwindled over time. Traces of this truth can be found today through the actions of a few exclusive and outstanding individuals, such as the highly esteemed Ms. Martha Placeres of Brownsville, Texas, a remarkable individual who has been able to effectively integrate and blend culture in a way that highlights its importance through the gift of music. Born in Puebla-Mexico, Placeres spent the first twenty years of her life surrounded by music, even at a very young age. "I guess everything started with my grandfather,” Placeres said. “He was a professional opera singer in Mexico City." Fausto de Andrés y Aguirre was always surrounded by Mexican composers as an opera singer, and was given the task of rescuing the ailing Puebla State Conservatory of Music. As a result of his hard work and dedication, the school began offering degrees. “He passed his love of music on to his 12 children," Placeres said. “He made sure that every single one of his sons and daughters could learn a little bit of music so they could understand his job…Growing up, it was just a part of my childhood” (Montoya). Her father, the late Alfonzo Placeres was a pianist, and as is her mother, Martha Aguirre, who is currently an academic director at the Puebla State Conservatory.

  • Many Stars Come from Texas
    MANY STARS COME FROM TEXAS. t h e T erry fo un d atio n MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER he Terry Foundation is nearing its sixteenth anniversary and what began modestly in 1986 is now the largest Tprivate source of scholarships for University of Texas and Texas A&M University. This April, the universities selected 350 outstanding Texas high school seniors as interview finalists for Terry Scholarships. After the interviews were completed, a record 165 new 2002 Terry Scholars were named. We are indebted to the 57 Scholar Alumni who joined the members of our Board of Directors in serving on eleven interview panels to select the new Scholars. These freshmen Scholars will join their fellow upperclass Scholars next fall in College Station and Austin as part of a total anticipated 550 Scholars: the largest group of Terry Scholars ever enrolled at one time. The spring of 2002 also brought graduation to 71 Terry Scholars, many of whom graduated with honors and are moving on to further their education in graduate studies or Howard L. Terry join the workforce. We also mark 2002 by paying tribute to one of the Foundations most dedicated advocates. Coach Darrell K. Royal retired from the Foundation board after fourteen years of outstanding leadership and service. A friend for many years, Darrell was instrumental in the formation of the Terry Foundation and served on the Board of Directors since its inception. We will miss his seasoned wisdom, his keen wit, and his discerning ability to judge character: all traits that contributed to his success as a coach and recruiter and helped him guide the University of Texas football team to three national championships.
