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.

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.

“That’s about all there is to
building a bonfire. All that’s need
ed is lots of people to pull on
ropes and lift logs. The people in
charge may have their problems
but all most of us womed about
was staying out of the way of some
of those logs. Of course they had
first aid stations and cars to take
you to the hospital if you did get
