BIG FIRES FROM LITTLE STICKS GROW—This is no little stick (right)
but just a sample of the logs used in building the Fightin’ Aggie Bonfire
each Turkey Day. The picture was taken from the top of the bonfire so
you can see how tall it was at that time. The picture on the left shows
the results of two weeks work going Up in flame the night before the TU
game. Bonfires are built on the drill field south of Duncan Hall as the
Main Drill Field is used only for parades and reviews—and growing grass.
