Elsie' Reigns at Dairy Show
More than 3000 spectators are
expected to attend tomorrow's
23rd Annual Dairy Exposition at
which Penn State's ."own glamor
ous Elsie" will reign as queen for
a second year. Penn State Elsie
is truly a cow of distinction. Like
all celebrities, she has a life his
tory—not a spectacular one, but
one that deserves note.
Elsie was born January 17, 1942,
at the College dairy barn. As a
calf, she was dubbed Penstate
Draconis Betty and was register
ed with the American Jersey Cat
tle Club. In June, 1944, Elsie be
gan her career as a dairy cow.
For the next three years she lived
in obscurity among 150 other
cows in the College instructional
herd. The only recognition be
stowed upon her was in 1946,
when her first son, Penstate Ma- 1
iesty Draconis, was sent to Rio
Piedras, Puerto Rico, to help
build up the Jersey blood line
on that 'island.
Dairy Queen Featured
Last year the Dairy Exposi
tion committee was busy pon
dering over a new angle for the
show. Someone suggested a
dairy queen as a feature attrac
tion. Someone else suggested
that a cow serve as hostess, and
Penn State Elsie was born!
It was decided to use an out
standing milk producer from the
College herd, and sanction was
obtained from the Borden Com
pany to use the name of Penn
State Elsie. Penstate Draconis
Betty was then brought into the
limelight.
Elsie was assigned a manager

Pennsylvania newspapers. Pub
lication of these pictures and stor
ies with them proved of help to
Elsie on her way to success.
Backed by excellent campus
publicity, Elsie took her stand as
hostess of the 22nd Annual Dairy
Exposition, May 10, 1947. She did
a wonderful job. Hundrqds of pic
tures were taken of her by visi
tors. Children fondled and played
with her. She never showed the
slightest inkling of being dissatis
fied with her newly acquired posi
tion and evidenced this by her
docile, friendly manner of treat
ing her guests, children and
adults, alike.
Friinds and Visitors
After the show, Elsie went back
to the barn. Her new role had
brought her many friends, who
visited the barn and asked to see
her. In December, 1947, she was
guest at the Harvest Ball, a cam
pus dance. She appeared in full
costume and was very much in
terested in the music the band
played. She had now become a
part of the College social life.
Tomorrow Elsie will make her
second appearance as hostess of
the 23rd Dairy Exposition. A new
set of pictures has been taken of
her and she is being fitted so that
she will be her best when the
show is presented. Accompanying
her will be her unnamed son, who
was born April 25.
Fie seems to know that she is
gaining fame and that she means
more to her followers than "just
a cow." She now strikes people
as "the cow with a personality!"
