"I was really excited when the letter came! I looked in the mail for three days," Miss Landeene said.
Later she was asked for a picture.
She will be honored at a dinner of

officially until Tuesday, April 3. It will close Sunday, April 8. The date is chosen on advice from botanists.

number each princess has been assigned. Two days of pageentry, over which the queen will reign, will follow.
Didn't See Cherry Blossoms
"I'll have the experience of being in the festival even if I lose," Miss Landeene said. I spent four days in Washington over Easter while I was a freshman at Greenbrier, but I didn't see any cherry blossoms. They were gone," she said.
Greenbrier is a women's junior college in Lewisburg, W. Va.
