Suzy Levy Wins
Y.C.N.C. Office
Suzy Levy, a junior at Grims
ley, has been elected to the of
fice of Vice-Chairman of the
Youth Councils of North Carolina.
The YCNC is the group which acts
as the center for all of the Youth
Groups in North Carolina. If the
proposed state youth council bill
is passed, it wiil be the basis on
which the new council will be
formed.
After being elected to the
Greensboro Youth Council last
year, Suzy became involved in it
very actively. She served on such
committees as the recreational
committee which organized pow
der puff football, the High IQ
Bowl and helped find jobs for
local teenagers. She also made
contact with the other youth
groups in the state and through
this became interested in working
for the state organization by de
ciding to run for the vice-chair
manship.
Already hard at work, she has
met with people such as Mayor
Carson Bain of Greensboro and
Senator “Skipper Bowles” about
the proposed legislature. This leg
islature will give North Carolina
a unique set up. It will be the
only state to have a youth group
which works with our state gov
ernment to provide better things
for the youth of the state.

Suzy believes that through this
office she will have a chance to
help build for the youth in the
state and also give her a chance
tj practice government 3.5 it is
today. She added to this by stat
ing, “With this position, I have
a chance to be in government and
to learn about it in a way which
I could never accomplish in class.”
With her talent and enthusiasm,
she should be able to accomplish
a lot for the youth of Greensboro
and North Carolina.
