Then and Now:

As we start to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Cherry Blossom Princess Program, NCSS is digging old photos out of our archives to illustrate our history. In the picture at right First Lady Maimie Eisenhower places a crown on the head of Ohio Cherry Blossom Princess Janet Bailey as she starts her reign as the 1953 U.S. Cherry Blossom Queen. Janet was an 18-year old freshman at the University of Akron majoring on home economics who was an Alpha Gamma Delta pledge. Her escort was U.S. Air Force Capt. Gerald J. Urpschot of Cleveland. The Wheel of Fortune was spun by the new Attorney General of the United States, Herbert Brownell.
