t •Tuesday, November 27, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 r From Forest to Firewood In Four Steps Many things have to be considered when building a bonfire, es> pecially an Aggie bonfire. There is always the problem of getting wood. Aggies have been in wooded areas near the campus for over a week, selecting and felling hundreds of trees. After the trees were felled, the branches were trimmed and the larger logs cut into sections and loaded on trucks, which carried them to the bonfire site on the main drill field. Most of the work was done over the weekend. As usual, when Aggies build the annual bonfire before the TU game, it rains. This year was no exception. • ■, , lillliilil ■‘•'I'.' . - ? i ), ' •. The rain has continued since Friday night with hardly a letup. On top of that, a norther further hampered the prograss. Despite classes, quizes and the weather, the bonfire began to take shape Saturday afternoon. Almost 3,000 students turned out, dressed in fatigues and blue jeans, and set to work in earnest. The last picture shows the bonfire as it looked Saturday afternoon. Since then many more logs have been added and more have been brought in from the surrounding countryside. All that remains is adding the finishing touches today and applying the oil tomorrowi after noon for the annual ceremony tomorrow night.
