All of the contestants
previously were acclaimed Dairy
Princesses in local contests. Two
represent two-county areas, a
third is from the Penn State
Dairy Science Club and the other
30 have county titles. All are
daughters of dairy farm families.
Not only was the 33 contestants
a record number for a Penn
sylvania Dairy Princess contest,
seven more than previous high
set just last year, but a record
number also entered at the local
level, 236.
Presiding at the coronation
ceremony was the 1972 Dairy
Princess Rose M. Winkelbauer, a
sophomore at Edinboro State
College in her native Erie
County.
