John Hobbs stands with symbols representing a few of his many activities. Included are JV Tennis, trophies for speech, and a gavel, reminiscent of his Freshman, Sophomore and Junior class offices. Each summer, Aviation sends an outstanding boy and girl to Sacramento. There they become part of two miniature states which arise on Davis campus and the Sacramento Fairgrounds. Chosen by the facuky this year were John Hobbs and Isabel Perez. Both were chosen for their ability to get along with other people, and the outstand- ing qualities of leadership essential to being an ac- tive participant in the affairs of a newly formed state. With fierce but friendly competition between everyone, Girl ' s and Boy ' s States began campaign- ing almost immediately. With students being inte- gral parts of the political procedure, voting for state and local officials took place. Isabel is a Pep Club song leader, serves as Commissioner of Elec- tions, and is on Talon staff. '
