10th Scripps National Spelling Bee
The 10th Scripps National Spelling Bee was held at the National Museum in Washington, D.C. on May 29, 1934.
The winner was 12-year-old Sarah Wilson of Gray, Maine,〔, Town of Gray Maine website, Retrieved 2 July 2015〕 sponsored by the ''Portland Evening Express'', correctly spelling the word ''brethren''. She had also competed in the finals the prior year. James Wilson, age 13, of Canton, Illinois placed second after misspelling ''deteriorating'', followed by Helen Sullivan, age 13, of Connecticut.〔(3 July 1999). (Maine speller advances in national competition ), ''Bangor Daily News''〕〔(8 June 1934). (12-Year-Old Girl Wins $1,000 ), ''Nunda News'' (Nunda, New York)〕
The prizes for the top three were $500, $300, and $100. The bee was broadcast on the radio, and when Sarah was asked if she had a message for her father, she responded on air "You remember Daddy, you promised me another $500 if I won first place!" But she did say she wanted to use the money for college.〔〔Maguire, James. (American Bee: The National Spelling Bee and the Culture of Word Nerds ), p. 71 (2006)〕
