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. '

' Spring Fling ' Teachers Make Big Splash at Carnival Miss Marjorie Crandall and Mrs. Maxine Rinker find an adequate way of releasing the hostilities built up over the years. Miss Cran- dall and Mrs. Rinker are retiring at the close of this school year. Cindy Boiling adorns Jeff Boyer ' s leg with Shoppe, sponsored by Talon. The carnival vva.s the culmination of Spring Week — a week of extended lunches, assemblies, and al- most every type of contest imaginable. The beard growing and the pie-eating contests were some of the high points of the week. The carnival was held with the express purpose of making money for the various clubs on campus. Students were also able to release their inner hos- tilities toward figures of authority by ha ing their favorite teacher dropped into a tank of icy water at the dunking booth. Mike Ells eagerly paid six dollars to smash a pic into Mr. Gossard ' s appre- hensive face. In an atmosphere produced by sandalwood in- cense, Donovan records, and brightly colored lights, Talon ' s Psychedelic Shop proved to be one of the evening ' s most popular spots. Concluding the night ' s festivities, Speech Club and the Student Body co-sponsored a dance featur- ing The Turbans, a nine-piece soul band. The music moved many to stomp their feet to such songs as Walk On By, Mellows ellow, dfcd You y love-encrested circle in Ye Olde Psychedelic . v j Yj I fctTT ' L 2— Keep Me Hanging On.] ' ' f f ' -
