36th Scripps National Spelling Bee
The 36th Scripps National Spelling Bee was held in Washington, D.C., with the finals on June 13, 1963, sponsored by the E.W. Scripps Company.
There were 69 contestants. 13-year-old eighth-grader Glen Van Slyke III of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, sponsored by the ''Knoxville News Sentinel'', won the competition in 33 rounds, correctly spelling the final word ''equipage''. His strategy involved spelling very slowly to ensure accuracy as well as asking for derivations and roots of every word. Second place went to Elaine Piecuch (age 14) of Winslow, Maine, who failed to correctly spell ''biliousness'', followed in third by Gary Barringer (age 14) of East Liverpool, Ohio. The top prizes were $1000, $500, and $250.
A record number of 752 words were used in the competition, besting the prior year's record of 718.〔Williams, Joseph J. (14 June 1963).
