Youth Council Plans
Plans of the 1955 Youth Council
with Bill Hanna serving as presi
dent got under way with the
launching of the season’s first open
house, held in the girls’ gym after
the Raleigh-Greensboro football
game.
The council engaged a local band

the students. Miss Pat Basinger,
adviser of the group, reports that
this open house was the most suc
cessful of any in the past three
years.
In addition to planning after
game entertainment, the council
is responsible for the TV program
“Youth Gives Its Views.’’ The pro
gram is televised every Monday
afternoon and presents discussions
on different subjects pertaining to
the youth of Greensboro.
The Youth Council was chosen

opening of the Lindley Park Swim
ming pool. The officers working
with Bill and Pat are Gail Kirk-
man, vice-president; Michael Gard-
ner, secretary; and Brad Ander
son and Pat Haley, co-treasurers.
The next open house will be
after the next home football game.
The council asks the support of
all the students in helping to con
tinue the success of their plans.
The thirty members work together
in making their plans for the year’s
activities.
