To the local and farm papers that have printed my articles, thank you. To all of the schools that have allowed us to share with their students, thank you. To the stores that we have “invaded,” es pecially Ard’s and Boscov’s, thank you. To Big Country, and Wheels Radio, thank you. And finally to all of the groups, both farm and non-farm, that we have spoken to, thank you for giving us a chance. More than anything the group of people that I have to thank are all of the area dairy farmers. With out you there would be no dairy princess program, and there would be no opportunities like this for young ladies who care for your in dustry. With your help we learn to be the best we can, and realize our abilities. Thank you for allowing us to shine. Although my reign as princess will soon come to a close, I will still hold the dairy industry very close to my heart. I am sad that I must end such a fun and educa tional year, but I am glad that I will be passing on this honor to another deserving young lady on June 13, and I hope that she too, will find the joy that I have. Thank you all, for giving me a chance.

Through various turns of events, I changed my mind and decided that maybe I could be a repre sentative for the dairy industry, try to do a good job and have fun too. It has been a very rewarding ex perience and one that I am glad that I did not pass up. When small children, and even some adults ask why they should drink their milk, and you can tell them exactly why and what nutrition they get from drinking milk, then they look at you as if nobody ever told them before, it is all worth my time. I feel very honored to have been the spokesperson for the Beaver- Lawrence County area this past year. I have met an enormous amount of people, from the very young to the senior citizens at Grange meetings and dinners. This has just been a tremendous year of learning and serving my community in a very different way. lire real reason for this letter is to encourage any young lady with even the slightest interest in get ting involved to do so. You won’t regret it ever. I have overcome public speaking jitters, speaking to people I don’t know, and I learned to make lots of new friends. 1 have fellow dairy prin cess friends all over the state, and best of all you get to see them more than just once during your reign. As a dairy princess you become a role model and someone for the little children to look up to. Per sonally I think they are the best part because they aren’t afraid to ask you anything. And they do. Our county “Tea” has already taken place but any girl age 16 to 24 is still eligible to run. Your County Extension would probably be able to put you in touch with someone in your county.

Unable to find an ap propriate one in Madison, Amy finally borrowed a purple shirt from showstring crew member Deanna Bendig. Amy has kept it as a souvenir of the day her dream came true. Recently, Amy broke into tears again as she loaded April, who earlier this year was named both All-American and Junior All- American Spring Yearling Heifer, into a cattle trailer. Due June 1, April was moved to Em-Tran in Elizabethtown for calving.

After fending off for months an array of interested buy ers, the Spring Grove High School sophomore may finally part with her beloved April and bank the proceeds toward her college edu cation.
