Women In Power For one week each year a new “state” called Virginia Girls’ State sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary comes into be¬ ing. Last summer Sheila Griggers and Michele Olio attended Girls’ State at Longwood College. The purpose of the gathering was to provide citizenship train¬ ing and government study. Through role playing candidates received experience inside politics and discovered how and why it works. The delegation was divided into twelve “cities” where each set up its own local government. The cities joined to form municipal governments that re gulated the activities of all Girls’ State citizens. In addition to role playing, the girls learned valuable lessons from many guest speakers, including Governor Charles Robb, At¬ torney General Balibes, Dr. Janet Greenwood and Mr. Reggie Smith. The topics of the lectures ranged from roles in government to the importance of leadership. Girls’ State was an enlightening experience for all who attend¬ ed. The friends that were made and the experiences shared will last for many years. A new understanding of patriotism and na¬ tional pride were two valuable rewards. The American Legion provides a way for students to participate in Girls’ State and have a feeling of being a member of Congress. Last summer, Michele Olio and Sheila Griggers represented Potomac at Girls’ State 1984.
