30—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 1,1977
Sandy Miller crowned
(Continued from Pagel)
position as a veterinary
assistant. Grange, 4-H, and
junior Holstein activities are
included in the list of her
activities.
Her love for the home
farm and -devotion to
animals were still in Sandy’s
thoughts even while she
was seated on the red velvet
throne of the reigning
princess.
“How are my calves? ” she
inquired of her family.
After being selected one of
the seven semi-finalists
during the ceremonies,
Sandy was called first to
answer in the random
question portion of the
competition. Asked what she
would do if, while seated at
the head table of a banquet,
she saw the town mayor pour
his glass of milk into a
nearby potted plant, she
paused only momentarily.
“I’d point out to him that
the milk would not be doing
the flowers much good, but
that it would do him a great
deal of good if he’d drink it
instead,” she replied.
During her upcoming
year’s reign, Sandy hopes to
be able to reach people of all
age groups, from kin
dergarteners to senior
citizens, because she
believes that they all need
milk.
“Being chosen was really
a surprise, and ‘l’d like to
thank everyone a lot! I’ll do
the very best job I can,”
Sandy told the audience of
700 dairy industry
representatives.
First runner-up in the
pageant was Tammy Sue
Meabon, North East,
representing Erie County.
The daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Donald M. Meabon, 17-
year-old Tammy is a senior
at Seneca High School. She’s
an honor roll student and a
cheerleader, and was named
to Who’s Who among
American high school
students.
The random question
Tammy pulled concerned
how she would handle the
problem of having a flat tire
on a dark country road while
dressed in a gown and
headed for a dairy industry
appearance. Her answer
was that, while she might
wait a few minutes to see if
someone would stop to help

Lancaster County’s Twila
Brubaker captured a double
award. In addition to being
named the second runner-up
in the pageant, Twila won
the coveted Miss
Congeniality award, voted
upon by the contestants
themselves.
Eighteen-year-old Twila is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Harold S. Brubaker,

graduate of Manheim
Central High School, she is
currently in the student
registered nursing program.

membership on both the
homecoming court and the
farm show queen court, and
the yearbook staff.
Twila selected a question
dealing with her response to
a banquet waitress spilling
chocolate milk on her dress
just before she was to stand
up to speak. In her answer,
Twila indicated that, since
everyone makes mistakes,
she would simply explain to
the audience that an ac
cident had happened and not
worry about it any further.

on his hot-rod tractor? The answer is that the regular pulling tires are way too
big to leave on the tractor if you're planning on shipping the machine to Europe.
Houck’s tractor, and another owned by Stauffer Diesel of New Holland, were
sent to Holland recently to entertain European tractor pulling enthusiasts
during the World Plowing Contests, to be held there this coming week. Dauphin

Fighting back tears,
outgoing princess Peggy
Staub said her farewells and
thanks to the state dairy

her experiences, and

of them.
