Transcript | Alpha Phi Omega Builds Annual Bonfire Homecoming on the University of Houston campus is a busy time of year for nearly all campus organizations. While groups are busily fluffing flowers for their float, or display, Alpha Phi Omega, men's service fraternity, is out hustling old wooden boxes for the bonfire. This thirty-foot structure was completed and destroyed on the same day. The destruction took place on Thursday evening of Homecoming Week and was preceeded by the pep rally, presentation of Homecoming Queen finalists and the announcement of the winners in the float and mural competition. This is an annual service performed by Alpha Phi Omega. By-standers light torches before throwing them on the giant wood pile homecoming, 1963 APO bonfire glows in the dark after the Homecoming pep rally. Light from the bonfire is bright for spectators Paul Descant and Johnnet Williams. Cheerleader Judie Oldsen leaps for joy as the Cougars score another touchdown. Towering barrage of crates, second before their destruction. |
