Activities Award Society The Activities Award Society lay almost dormant until the fall of 1949. Then under the guidance of Ted Count Plaister an active awards society emerged, one which sought, very successfully, to credit everyone who earned activities points with a fitting award - a pin for thirty points, a key for fifty points, and a pen desk set for one hundred points. Before Ted Plaister turned the job over to Jack Boyer for the spring semester he submitted recommendations for revision of the entire activity awards system to the Executive Committee, which quickly approved the changes. Now as an active student body organization which seeks to honor every Aggie that takes the time to work in school activities, the Activities Award Society is set to continue its activated progress in the years to come. Activities play a part in college life, which, coupled with studying, go into the making of a well-rounded individual. FRONT ROW: Herb Yokoyama, Jack Boyer, Horace Hampton, Gene Shepherd, Don Heppner, Bill Golden, Bi Zanker, Bob Kasmire. BACK ROW: John Shirley, Marshall Wanzer, Mark Clevenger, Ronnie Cameron, l. G.

Levis and Laces is a newly organized group on the campus. It had its begin- ning last semester with a small group of folk dance enthusiasts, under the able leadership of Instructor Walter Russel. The group has been meeting each Thursday night in Recreation Hall and has recently adopted a constitution and elected officers though it is not yet a member of the Folk Dance Federation, it soon hopes to be. When it does be- come a member of the federation many students will take part in folk dance festivals. Its purpose is to promote interest in folk and square dancing and provide enjoyment and relaxation. The club is open to anyone affiliated with the Uni- versity of California at Davis, and wel- comes visitors from other clubs. There is basic instruction for newcomers every week and the group is growing by leaps and bounds.
