Highs in the mid-80s made for an unusually warm Picnic Day on April 18. In keeping with this year’s ٺƵ centennial theme, the event was titled “Reflections: 100 Years of Aggie Legacy.” Organizers billed it as a “time to celebrate and reflect on our past as we look optimistically towards the next 100 years.” It all began with an early morning pancake breakfast that was followed by more than 350 exhibits and activities, including a parade, fashion show, Battle of the Bands, “wiener dog” races and a dance competition. The largest student-run event of its kind in the U.S., the university has held Picnic Day 95 times since first opening its doors to students in 1908. On the front: A cast member from Oklahoma! performed at a morning pancake breakfast. Inside: Sacramento resident Maximus Powers, 2, works on ‘soil art’ in front of the Plant and Environmental Sciences Building.
