Before the coronation,
recognition was given to
several other contestants for
outstanding achievement in
various aspects of the
pageant competition.
Two awards were
presented for outstanding
scrapbooks. Winners were
Kathy Jo Strock, Cum
berland County princess, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Paul Strock, Mechanicsburg
R 9, and .the Berks County
princess, Teresa Ann
Wolfskill, daughter of Mr.

Each contestant was
required during preliminary
competition to perform an
original skit or talk
promoting the dairy industry
and aimed at a specific age
group. Four top winners
were selected and gave their
presentations as part of the
evening program.
All four were well received
by the audience and each
won warm rounds for the
originality and enthusiasm
of the individual performers.
Newly-crowned princess,
Lisa Miller, complete with
black cape, silk top hat and
wand, presented a magic act
saluting the magical
production of milk.
Clanan-Venango’s Sue
Smith donned a colorful
cheerleader outfit and led
the dairy-oriented audience
in cheers for nature’s most
perfect food. Connie Mc-
Feeters, Lebanon County,
carted in her Raggedy Ann
doll and promoted milk from
the strikingly humorous and
honest standpoint of a five
year-old. Adams County
princess, Carol Zepp, slipped

transformation from a little

Which took her “thousands of
miles and to visit thousands
of people,” Sandy Miller, of
Berks County the 1977-78
princess, thanked those who
had helped in her visits
across the state in behalf of
the dairy industry.
But she noted that the
dairy princess is still just
one person, and dairy
promotion must come from
each farmer and farm wife,
especially by using their
product when eating away
from home.
Special guest at the
recognition dinner was
Pennsylvania Secretary of
Agriculture Kent
Shelhamer. He commended
the dairy industry for its
promotional efforts but
noted that one-third of the
state’s counties are still not
participating in the princess
