THREE DAYS OF EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR YOUTHS

A teen dance, youth forum and Student Government Day will be featured events for the second annual Youth Weekend Saturday through Monday. The event is sponsored by the Roanoke Office on Youth, Youth Services Citizen Board, Youth Advisory Committee and Parks and Recreation Department.

The dance, for Roanoke middle- and high-school students, will be held Saturday from 8 p.m. until midnight at the National Guard Armory, 32 Reserve Ave. S.W. A disc jockey will provide the music. Ticket information is available from the schools.

Sunday's youth forum will be held from 6 until 9 p.m. at the Armory. The forum is an opportunity for young people and their families to hear speakers on various topics and to speak on the topics themselves. This year's topic is education, with the theme "We (youth) are tomorrow's shining stars . . . Stay in school." Special recognition will be given to the middle or high school with the greatest number of parents and students attending.

Monday will be Students Government Day. Students will attend a meeting of the Roanoke City Council and have lunch with state and local officials. Pupils from Fishburn Elementary School will be special guests.

For more information, call Marion Crenshaw, Roanoke youth planner, at 981-2349.
