FFA Princess will do them justice in
By JOANNE SPAHR
QUARK YVILLE The
phones had been ringing at
her Quarryville R 2 home for
nearly a week, and
photographers and in
terviewers had been taking
up whole chunks of her time
since she had received the
title of State FFA Princess
and Miss Congeniality at
FFA State days the week
before. Yet, with all this
hustle and bustle in her life,
Marcia Hess was poised and
friendly, with an air of
sophistication about her
when it was time for our
interview. It was obvious she
is going to make a good
representative for the
Future Farmers of America
during her year’s reign as
princess.
The daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Herbert S. Hess, she’s
an advocate of FFA.
“It’s really a great
organization. I have so much
respect of everybody in it,”
says the sleek and stylish
young lady with conviction.
Her belief in the
Marcia Hess, this year’s Pennsylvania FFA
Princess, poses before her home in Quarryville. For
12 months she will reign over the state
organization of Future Farmers of America and will
compete in the national American Royal Queen
Contest in Kansas City in November.

organization was especially
strengthened by her week at
FFA State Days in the
middle of June, during which
tune she received her title.
“Everyone there was
working so closely together
for the same cause,” she
explains. “It was un
believable how close we
became in that short time.”
She expresses a desire to
see all of her newly found
friends again, sometime,
and is certain she will meet a
few, at least, in the up
coming months. Her
itinerary is quite full. This is
only the third year FFA has
had a princess, and they plan
to use Marcia to a fuller
extent in their public
relations work this year. «
One of the bigger events on
her schedule, and one she is
looking forward to, is the
National FFA Contest in.
Kansas City in November,
where she will be escorted by
this year’s president; Randy
Ranck. Randy and Marcia
have been neighbors for
years and attended high
Marcia'Hess
school together, so the
national event will carry
special meaning for both of
them.
Some other things she’will
do as princess are speaking
at banquets and par
ticipating in fairs.
So now, FFA is going to
become a large part of her
life. Marcia says it wasn’t
always that way in the
beginning of high school, but
her years at Willow Street Vo
Tech were instrumental in
changing her attitude. ,
“It’s a great experience
and a good opportunity to
learn a trade,” she says
speaking of Vo-Tech school.
“My second year was really
rewarding,” she continues.
