What It Takes
To Build World s
Largest Bonfire
Minlco^rl Supply
'piciu/te, ptcuMje^-
•923 So.Collage Ave-Bryan.Tafes
By TOMMY DeFRANK
Battalion News Editor
The Aggie Bonfire—symbolic
of the love Aggies have for their
school, and the burning desire to
beat the livin' hell outa TU.
The Aggie Bonfire—cross be
tween a county fair, Army field
maneuver and a major disaster
area right after the disaster.
The Aggie Bonfire—massive,
flaming testimonial to frayed
nerves, aching muscles, lost sleep,
round-the-clock operations, fan
tastic coordination and sheer raw
guts.
What does it take to build the
largest Bonfire in the world?
It takes personalities—like the
graduate student, a giant of an
ex-Marine who volunteered for
service Sunday night.
He was given a radio and told
to guard the ravine below the
President’s home.
He crawled around the area
making his patrols, and then
camouflaged himself and waited
for trouble that never came.
“I know he was out there,” re
called a stacking area boss, “be
cause he called in every half-hour.
But he hid himself so well I
couldn’t find him when I went out
to relieve him.”
It takes an element of danger—
like the carloads of Teasips who
attempted to unload bound fra
ternity pledges in the Bonfire
area.
Or like the Aggies whose lunch
was interrupted by a three-foot
copperhead. One pinned the rep
tile to the side of a bank while
another sliced off its head with
a pocketknife.
It takes an unfortunate toll—
like the freshman who nearly lost
a toe, or another who broke a leg
and fractured his other ankle
when freshmen tried to load a log
without waiting for supervision.
It takes determination—like the
stacking boss who stayed on the
job more than 48 hours before
knocking off for sleep.
It takes some comic relief—like
the Bryan girls who cussed outer
perimeter guards because they
weren’t allowed to come any
closer to the stack than a couple
of hundred yards.
Or the ill-timed junior who
heard his radio crackle with the
warning that “three bulls”
were bearing down on the com
munications post just as the three
officers arrived to hear the same
report.
It takes close calls—like the
Bryan high school motorcyclists
who cut across a field and were
nearly cut down by a truck haul
ing logs from the cutting area.
It takes potentially dangerous
situations—like the four girls
found hiding near the Bonfire
area who explained they thought
it would be fun to crack security.
Guards were prepared to rough
up the unidentified visitors before
they meekly surrendered.
But the core of the Bonfire ef
fort rests upon the individual per
formances of all Aggies—juniors
and seniors that chop logs; fresh
men and sophomores that carry
them; lone bosses that supervise
cutting and transport; communi
cations men, medics and road
guards; loaders, stackers and
truckdrivers, and various other
students that man key but often
overlooked positions.
Most people marvel when the
Bonfire is put to the torch with
out realizing the unbelievable
work that has gone into it.
Few spectators appreciate the
five days of cutting, loading,
stacking and guarding that pre
cede the blaze.
But to the Aggies who have
endured cold meals, blisters, push
up sessions, 16-hour or longer
days, 1 a.m. guard details and the
like—the pre-fire work is pain-
fully but proudly alive.
The Bonfire of today has come
a long way since the first one,
a 12-foot trashpile built in 1909.
Unlike other college bonfires,
it has grown from its original
proportions to heights usually
averaging 80 feet.
So, too, have the headaches and
preparations necessary to build it.
But the end result has always
remained the same—a huge com
pilation of logs that eternally re
mains a source of pride for all
those who have ever worked on
