Since 1931, Reveille — affectionately known as “Miss Rev” — has served as the Texas A&M mascot for nearly a century. Reveille I was the “First Lady of Aggieland” for 13 years (1932-1944) before her passing. Reveille II didn’t arrive until 1952, but every Aggie mascot since then has been Reveille. Every Reveille following Reveille I and II has been a full-blooded Rough Collie.
