****************************************

Century of growth
Progress with diversity
Tradition maintained

Davis decades, ten
Undergraduate years, four
Aggie Pride, priceless

Ready the sling shots
Mix of fear and excitement
Tube socks fill the sky

The ghosts of Toomey
Have a new place to dwell at
Aggie Stadium

Hut, nineteen oh eight
Hut, twenty oh eight, blue, gold
Hike, goes long. …Touchdown!

Cheering Aggie fans
One hundred years and counting
Bleeding blue and gold

Across Davis Quad
the fall afternoon sunlight
warms my “what if” thoughts

River runs through it
Kind of, algae laden pond
Quacking hilly lawn

Bicycles en masse
Century old tradition
Crashing in circles

Aggies Beat Sac State
An annual tradition
Like Sun rotation

Aggie tradition
One hundred years of learning
Just the beginning…

Fresh dew on the ground
Racing around Toomey Field
Its more quiet now

Halftime, what’s in store?
Is that a whole pizza pie?
Can I have a slice?

Davis blue and gold
The spirit within us all
A place I call home

Davis Aggie Pride
It runs through each one of us
And will never fail

Friends of blue and gold
Alma mater’s story told
A century old

The harvesters roll
Through valley tomato fields
Thanks to Aggie thoughts

Aggie Stadium
Alive with new Aggie Pride
next century starts

Alma mater love
Hundred year institution
Aggies plow future

Picnic Day arrives
People come from far and wide
Celebrate the scene

Aggie Pride lives here
Wear your Aggie blue and gold
Go Ags beat Sac State

Eggheads glistening
The arboretum blooming
Watertowers glow

UCD Aggies
One hundred years and counting
Growing world leaders

Fistulated cow
Things you never thought you’d see
Picnic Day special

Best years of my life
Academics, sports and bikes
UC Davis pride

Duck duck duck duck goose
Roosters chickens cross the road
Cars stop but bikes don’t

Faculty, students
Knowledge created and shared
Knowledge goes forward

Dairy on campus
Next to the dormitories
Got Smell? And fresh milk

Perched by the hundred
Crows in the dense trees; you clap!
And like rain, they crap

Let there be light since
Davis’ birth, 100
Years service to Earth!

Davis Campus taught
one hundred years of students
thinking skills they sought

Oak trees line the Quad
Lazy day warmed by the sun:
Oh, Shi_! My Chem test!

Centennial signs
UC Davis party time
Aggies on my mind

UC Davis rules
Aggies passionate and cool
Great old land grant school

CoHo and the Quad
Summer concerts in the night:
Good times at Davis.

501 Russell
One year; lifetime memories
A greek life well lived.

Backpack through Europe
A post-grad journey well-earned
Aggie Pride indeed.

Out Hutchison Drive
Tractors, trucks, cars and bikes
Growing food for life

Scorching summer suns
Windy wet whooshing winters
Hundred year climate

Socks and Birkenstocks
Centennial clock tick-tock
Aggies don’t wear out

Block C A before
Block C A forever more
Cowed and plowed for sure

Fear my Aggie pride
Davis plates on my Bentley
Skatin’ twenty-twos

UCD stands for
Under Construction Daily
That’s a good thing, right?

Always healthy food
The Davis Student Co-op
Good friends for life!

Whole Earth Festival
Need I say anything else
Life celebration

Picnic Day for all
Friends, free hot dogs and football
Alumns heed the call

A S U C D
Long Debates in the Mee Room
Resolutions passed!

Followed horse mascot
To secret winter banquet
Sworn to number nine

Fall Causeway Classic
Sac State Soucks the Big One Ooh
Go UC Davis

I’m an Ag always
not just when celebrating
the centennial

Egghead irony
Theibaud’s sugar confections
Aggie artistic eye

edible foliage
hobbit homes and a bike church
only at Davis

My dad farmed the Quad.
I designed machinery.
My sons farm info.

Emil was so right.
About students being first.
Wisdom. Thanks Emil.

A.M. formation
5 mile run and pushups
Thank you Coffee House

Its not big and new
Instead it has history
Good ol Hickey Gym

You get used to it
They say my dorm is the worst
Tercero, you stink

New MU is nice
Wow, I get my own office
Do the students know?

Bang the gavel down
Senate meeting running long
We’ve got other plans

The bikes still go ’round
Blue and Gold still shine proudly
One hundred still strong

Leafy tree lined streets
Freshman girls in Spring dresses
Davis Memories

Nothing quite compares
To flying candy and socks
On cool autumn nights

Aggie pride runs deep
Like the roots of mighty oaks
In shady Shields Grove

heat shade quad green trees
wellman bainer olson pigs
games movies beer ags

late assignment due
poem of davis, gold and blue
perfection haiku

The Lincoln Highway
Over a century old
Links two great places

Coho Iced Coffee
Centennial Walk Morning
It’s Fall on the Quad

Horses and hoedowns
Helped build an institution
For the centuries

Chancellors Freeborn,
Mrak, Meyer, Vanderhoef all
milked cows, except Hullar

Celebrate today
One hundred years – whoopee!
Future calls us, now

Happy Hundred Time
Aggie Pride U C D Love
Bikes, Trees, memories

to one hundred more
sword and sandals don’t keep score
we add to the lore

One double zero
At the 95616
Fo shizzle yo dizzle

A true legacy
think tank of innovation
Study hard, play hard

We ride in Davis
A Hundred years more to come
Bikes all around town

Eating on the Quad
Crossword in the back of class
Ah, I miss Davis

“Hi Aggie” spirit
Honor system holds our pride
That’s the way it was

Bicycle – explore
Olives plopped on quiet paths
Stop for cherries – yum!

Ducks in dorm hallway
“Study Table” – time to work
Do ducks go to school?

Arboretum ducks
Raucous quacks, fast swimming feet
Golden sunset, peace

Dean, Emil, Gene
Breakfast Stories El Rodeos
Agatheragus

There was an Aggie
Blue Gold Pride Hard Working True
Gunrock, Nine, Cal Ags

Study, books, papers
“What’s a bluebook?” freshmen ask
Oh, what innocence!

One hundred great years
We have only just begun
Aggie Family Pride!

Coffeehouse signage
“No munch money accepted”
New frosh tradition

Painting yourself blue
UCD fan through and through
Love for Aggies true

Beautiful campus
Quad cork oaks long-enduring
My time was too swift

Century of school
Centennial of learning
Repetitive, yup

Graduation day
Joyful friends departing soon
Amazing, but true

Rain comes down in sheets
The dreaded Freshman Bike Stripes
Flash out like light beams

loving the coho
celebrating forty years
within a hundred

the truest Aggies
call Social Sci the “Death Star”
up for hide and seek?

the greatest danger
a freshman learning to ride
just go with the flow

friends with many views
late nights spent studying at Shields
cozy college town

Yo, one double oh
Gotta go, ya know, flow, flow
Blue to the gold, word

ducklings hatching soon
it’s the highlight of the spring
a new year goes by

one hundred years down
cal davis pride, tried and true
one hundred to come

Centennial walk
Shade of trees anchored beneath
Leaves whispering above

Aggies, we’re so odd
Working hard to help others
For such little pay

The Antique Tractors
UC Davis reminder
Of our deep ag roots

Tank Rush, Frosh-Soph Brawl
Bossy Cow Cow, Dinks, Go Ags
Pajamarino

Along Putah Creek
Walks in the arboretum
To escape the stress

Meeting at the flagpole
Lunching at the Coffee House
Lounging on the Quad

play it one more time
warmerdam you ole cash hound
hit it decarli

Aggie family
Bike crashes and helping hands
Big smiles, Blue and Gold

bikes and trikes some ride
oh that uc davis pride
Aggies are bona fide

Shining Bright in Cal
“Agricultrully” Advanced
UC Davis Rules

Quad trees on the lawn
Home to UC Davis life
One hundred more years
