Dad
BY KIMBERLY HERR
WILLOW STREET - Start with
a belief, add a generous portion of
talent, a heaping amount of hard
work and mix with some in
spiration from Dad.
What's the result?
For Willow Street’s Bom
Gochenaur, it was success at the
Lancaster County Dairy Princess
contest June 18.
"My dad and 1 had talked about it
(the contest). He kind of wanted
me to do it,” Boni said. “1 thought
it would be good experience with
meeting people and learning more
about the dairy industry.”
Although the inspiration and
encouragement came from her
parents. Bob and Naomi
Gochenaur, 419 Penn Grant Road,
the talent was Boni’s contribution.
In order to compete, each con
testant had to make up a 30-second
commercial for milk.
Bom, age 17, sang her com
mercial to the tune of “Follow the
Star.”
“It invited people to come and be
healthy and to drink milk for fit
ness,” Boni said of her song.
In addition to the commercial,
each girl had to answer an im
promptu question on the stage.
Boni’s asked what message she
would deliver if requested to speak
at a meeting of a group of people
not directly related to farming.
Boni’s winning response was,
“Milk is good for everyone, and
you need it to function properly. ’ ’
Although Boni admitted to
feeling a bit nervous about the
question part of the contest, she
found a positive side to it.
“1 looked up some different
things about the dairy industry to
find out and make sure 1 knew
what was going on," she said,
explaining that she learned a great
deal about dairy farming.
Armed with her new knowledge,
a belief in the product and in
formation she gained while aiding
her parents with their 50 dairy
cows, Boni is ready to start on her
milk campaign.
The blonde hair, blue-eyed winner
hopes to stress the importance of
mUk to the people she plans to
meet.
“I want to make people more
aware of how milk can be used,”
Bom explained. “Reaching kids is
my main goal. They are the ones
who will be the future generation.”
In order to get her message
across, Bom will be doing super
market promotions, awarding
ribbons at local fairs and attending
4-H roundups and field days. She
will also be speaking at banquets
and the meetings of various
organizations.

and her classes at Lancaster
Mennomte High School, where she
will be a senior. Bom’s planning a
busy year. She also plays the flute
for her school orchestra, sings in
the school chorus and enjoys
“working in the kitchen.”
In addition to these activities,
she will also be taking a public
speaking class at Dale Carnegie
Courses.
Her future plans call for training
at Lancaster General Hospital

School of Nursing.
“Ever since I was a little girl I
wanted to be a nurse," Bom said.
"It’s a service to mankind and
hospitals always mtriqued me.”
But, before nursing comes an
active year of being Lancaster
County Dairy Princess. When
asked what advice she would give
to girls thinking about entering the
dairy princess contest, she replied,
"Do it, but you have to be prepared
to give yourself for that year.”
