Saturday morning's activities start with another Recall tradition, the Military Tribute Breakfast  at 8 am in CCAC Ballroom Two.  The breakfast honors Schreiner's early history as a military academy, and Greystone Academy, a one-year program now on campus which helps college freshmen qualify for the military academics.

An art exhibit by 2010 graduate Ben Davis of Denton, Texas, will be featured throughout Recall in the second-floor CCAC Gallery.  Davis, who received a degree in creative arts, uses traditional photographic methods, as well as contemporary digital technology, to document historic Texas structures that have accommodated cultural rituals for more than 150 years.
A special reception for Davis will be held from 4-6 pm Saturday in the CCAC.
The Tribute to Schreiner Legends Banquet, starting at 6 pm in the CCAC Ballroom, will honor two former students and a former coach.
