Chester County Sets Pageant
NOTTINGHAM (Chester Co.)
The Chester County Dairy
Princess Pageant on June 1 will
take place at Herr Foods Inc. Visi
tors Center Auditorium, Notting
ham, at 7:30 p.m.
Reigning over the festivities
will be the 1990 Chester County
Dairy Princess Lauri Hicks of
West Chester. Lauri has success
fully served the dairy industry for
the past year by appearing to
groups of all ages and a wide var
iery of events covering the eastern
half of the state.
This year two young ladies will
be contesting for the title of 1991
Chester County Dairy Princess.
Rebecca Blank, Parkesburg, and
Noel Scheib, Phoenixville, will be
judged by a panel of three judges
on appearance, poise, personality,
speaking ability, and knowledge
of the dairy industry. The contes
tants will be presenting a three
five minute speech, promoting
milk and the dairy industry along
with answering an impromptu
question.
Rebecca Blank is the daughter
of Elam and Dorothy Blank, R.D.2
Parkesburg. She is 17-years-old
and a junior at Oclorara High
School where she represents her
classmates on Student Council,
plays volleyball on the varsity
team, and manages the baseball
team.
Becky works for her father part
time, milking and feeding cows on
the family’s Highland Green
Farm. For 34 years, the Blanks
have been on their 96 acres where
com is the principal crop and 50
Holsteins live in the bam. Becky
herself is the owner of one
Holstein.
Besides helping out on the farm,
Becky is employed by Byler Poul
try, a market stand in Cowtown,
NJ. In the future, she would like to
pursue the field of occupational
therapy.
At church, Becky is active as
vice-president of the youth group
and serves on the faith and prac
tice committee. This committee
plans and invites speakers for their
weekly Bible studies. Along with
church activities, she is a member
of the Bible Quiz Team, where
members are quizzed against other
church teams on Bible passages.
Along with her enjoyment of
meeting new people and babysit
ting for her nieces and nephews,
Becky’s favorite hobby is playing
volleyball. When she’s not in
school playing, you’ll find her at
the co-ed volleyball league or
more recently the women’s volley
ball league. Whether it’s skiing or
just spending lime with her older
sister and four brothers, if there’s
k
action, Becky will be there.
Noel Scheib is the 18-ycar-old
daughter of Clyde and Alda
Scheib, West Seven Stars Road,

horn in the concert band and mela
phone in the marching band, and
sings in the chamber choir. Other
school activities include yearbook
staff, SADD (Students Against
Noel Scheib
For June 1
Drunk Drivers), German club, and
Key club, which provides service
to the school and community.
Extra-curricular activities are
DECA (Distributive Education

that took her to nationals for food
marketing-master employee level,
and she represented the school at
the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leader
ship seminar, an international
leadership program, and Pennsyl
vania Free Enterprise Week, a
hands-on business conference.
After graduation, Noel will be
attending Eastern College, St.
Davids, where biology will be her
major course of study.
For 60 years the Scheibs have
been farming 100 acres which is
known as French Creek Farm
where wheat, oats, hay, and com
are grown. A mixed herd of
Guernseys, Jerseys, and Holsteins
make up the total 45 cows in the
bam. Over the past 10 years, Noel
has been in Dairy 4-H and has
owned a total of 30 dairy animals.
Currently 12 are in the herd and
she helps daily with feeding and
milking.

ADD CHARM WITH
LINEN AND LACE
Fine linens and lace were once
the province of only the very
wealthy. But today everyone can
enjoy the poetry, the drama and
the elegance of these beautiful
textiles. New lace is easily avail
able and vintage versions still
abound at prices that still make
them affordable. Here are some
suggestions about ways you can
decorate your home with lace.
Whether used sparingly or in
lavish profusions, lace will soften
any decor. In the bedroom nothing
can replace the luxurious feel of
fine linen bed fashions. Sheets,
pillowcases, comforters, and pil-

lows trimmed in lace provide an

body and soothes the spirit.
Today's all-cotton, 200- thread
count percale sheets with no-iron
finishes often possess a beauty
that belies their durability. Decor
ator details, such as fagoting,
embroidery, ruffles, and delicate
edgings, are inspired by vintage
textiles. Strips of old lace can easi
ly be recycled by stitching them
onto plain sheets. Use narrow
strips for bands or edgings; use
wider strips to convert the border
of a top sheet into a tumed-down
cuff.
