because, "I wanted to prove to
myself that I could do it But at the
same time, I wanted to enjoy it
too.”
• In selecting the project, Lucinda
says, “I try to be original. I like to
be the first to do something. It defi
nitely should be eye-catching and
appealing to the judges.” Indeed,
she acknowledges that there are a
lot of well-made garments that
never win because they don’t have
that special appeal. “Sewing skills
alone won’t do it. They are impor
tant, but it is a combination. Fit is a
very large part of it.”
This year’s project for Lucinda
was a sea green brocade gown,
simple, but elegant. The project
evolved from the fabric, which
Lucinda selected at G Street in
Rockville, Maryland,* before
choosing die Butterick pattern.
She decided to make the gown
to wear to her junior-senior ban
quet at Lancaster Mennonite High
School; consequendy, she com
pleted most of the work during the
school year. Now she says, “I’m
glad I chose a gown because I can
also wear it as Pennsylvania Veal
Queen.” She won the Veal Queen
title after the gown was completed,
but doing promodonal work will
give her ample opportunity to wear
the garment
She said she enjoys shopping at
G Street, adding, “The variety is

great and there is a whole floor of
fabric. They really have quality
fabric.” The brocade appealed to
her and then she sought an appro
priate pattern. “Sometimes the
fabric decides what you make,”
she commented.
A member of the Penn Willow
4-H Club for 10 years, Lucinda
recalls, “I really wanted to join as a
litde kid. I couldn’t sign up the first
year I was eight because I wasn’t
old enough; it was a big disap
pointment I cried.”
She has more than made up for
time lost during that waiting per
iod, and, today, she credits 4-H
with much of her success. “My
4-H background definitely helped
me get the title of Veal Queen.
Being in'fashion revue teaches you
to be very poised.”
Although this is probably her
last year in 4-H, Lucinda says she
definitely wants to help with fash
ion revue in the future. “I would
like to teach the girls how to talk
about their garments with the
judges. There are things the judges
will never know unless the 4-H’ers
tell them. I’d like to go back and
see how I was as a junior. It was
definitely gotten easier.”
The whole fashion revue picture
has been fun for Lucinda, who
says, “I’ve gotten to know some
people pretty well, including peo
ple from out of this region. I have
also gained skills which will last a

lifetime. They’ll help me in col
lege and help me when I get a job.
It has given me poise and self
confidence.” She maintains, “I
used to be a little bit shy; that has
definitely changed, and 4-H is a
major part of it.”
Later this month, Lucinda will
be leaving Willow Street to travel
to Goshen College in Indiana
where she will study home eco
nomics with an indefinite career
goal. Part of her volunteer work at
LMH included teaching hand
icapped students to sew. She says
she may continue to pursue a
career working with handicapped
people.
