39th Scripps National Spelling Bee
The 39th Scripps National Spelling Bee was held in Washington, D.C. in June 1966, sponsored by the E.W. Scripps Company.
13-year-old Robert A. Wake of Houston, Texas won by spelling "ratoon," a word which he had "never heard of."〔(10 June 1966). (Speller Shoots to Victory With 'Ratoon' ), ''St Petersburg Times''〕 Second place went to Beth Sherrill, 14, of Lucy, Tennessee, who incorrectly spelled "sachem," followed in third place by Sonya Gilliam, 13, of Lubbock, Texas, who could not spell "muumuu."〔
There were 71 contestants this year. The top three cash prizes were $1000, $500, and $250.〔(10 June 1966). (Houston Boy Proves to Sachem of Young Spellers ), ''Milwaukee Journal'' (Associated Press)〕
In the fourth round, Rosalie Elliot, 11, of Central, South Carolina spelled "avowal" with such an accent that the judges weren't sure whether she used an "a" or "e" as the second to last letter. When the judges eventually asked her, she admitted she had spelled it wrong, getting a standing ovation for her honesty. This has become an often repeated anecdote.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spelling Bee | Chicken Soup for the Soul )〕〔(9 June 1966).
