Transcript | Right, Lupe Lopez goes on burro-stomping- campaign tour in her quest for Homecoming Queen title. Photographer loading camera is silhouetted against bonfire as coed watches, below. Homecoming merriment begins As UH President Philip Hoffman threw a flaming torch on the bonfire, several students simultaneously detonated an incendiary device deep within the 40-foot pile of kindling. Within minutes the bonfire ignited in a magnificent conflagration, and everyone cheered. This scene took place during Homecoming Week in November and was the culmination of a vast torchlight parade. Later that night, students danced to the music of "Michael" and the "Southwest F.O.B." at a street dance on the UC Patio. The next night "John Fred and His Playboy Band" and the "TSU Toronados" provided the music at the annual Homecoming Dance, held at the Trade Mart East. 54 |
