orchard would certainly land
her a job somewhere in the
fruit industry.
“I used to get paid 25 cents
a tree to clean up the brush
from under them. I picked
up drops until my back
ached. And I helped with
grading apples and cherries
on Saturdays and after
school,” she said.
Kris said she loves the
area where she grew up and
is afraid that sometimes she
takes her lifestyle for
granted. “If I want an apple,
I just walk across the yard
and pick one off a tree. And,
I hike around a lot through
the orchards.
“Sometimes I take a book
along and climb to the top of
a tree to read. From the top
of the hill, I can look out all
around me.”
The Apple Queen said she
reads for an escape. She
added she tried to read the
book, War and Peace, but it
was too hard. She prefers
romantic novels, like Gone
With the Wind, by Margaret
Mitchell.
Like many other
teenagers, Kris also enjoys
dating. And her room, she
said, is like a jungle
filled with plants.

At school, Kris is a
member of the student
council. She likes to run
short distances, like the 100
yard race and the 220 yard.
But, she explained, she
didn’t go out for track
because of the cost of driving
to school.
“I probably would have
been a cheerleader if I
hadn’t lived so far from
school,” Kris mused, “but I
wouldn’t trade places with
some one m town. I feel close
to the outdoors—l’m a
country girl at heart. When
I’m upset, I wander through
the orchards and talk with
God. It’s kept my sanity on
more than one occassion.”
Kns credits her ease in
talking with people and
groups to her experience
working as a waitress where
she always had to act happy
and talk to people. She said
her crown gives her an
unfair advantage now when
she talks to new people
because they see the crown
and get a favorable im
pression immediately. “I
know they will like me and
the product I represent.”
“Sometimes the crown
and the queen idea get old,
and my face gets tired of
smiling,” Kris sighed, “but
it’s still neat, and I’m getting
to know people and places I
would never have met or
travelled to without being
the Pa. Apple Queen.”
