The Bonfire Returns

For the first time in 11 years!

DHS Journalism
Devine High School senior students gather for a photo in front of the first bonfire the school has had in 11 years.

This year’s DHS homecoming pep rally marked the return of the bonfire, the first in 11 years.

“For a reason, I’m not sure of, we quit lighting a real bonfire about 11 years ago,” assistant principal Anderson said. “Since then, we have been lighting our DHS letters on fire or having the occasional blackout rally.”

A large community turnout was on hand anticipating the lighting of the bonfire. Devine alumni, high school students, and young children alike cheered as the Devine Mighty Warhorse Band and varsity cheerleaders performed. The Devine Volunteer Fire Department was on hand to stop sparks from the bonfire from spreading.

Noah Davila, Publisher, Editor
My name is Noah Davila and I am a Senior here at DHS. While working on stories, I listen to folk music, like the songs of Woody Guthrie, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, and Willie Carlisle. My family say I only like music where people can’t sing. Music like that helps me to focus, especially when writing political columns. I tell people all my columns and I are non-partisan, in case McCarthyism ever comes back in fashion. When not writing, I enjoy making lists of books and movies that I’ll never get too, because I’d rather watch the Big Lebowski again. This being my last year, Im nervous about having to basically just start over but its easier to ignore that.
