41st Scripps National Spelling Bee
The 41st Scripps National Spelling Bee was held in Washington, D.C. at the Mayflower Hotel on June 5-6, 1968, sponsored by the E.W. Scripps Company.〔Williams, Joseph J. (2 June 1968). (Vivacious Speller Makes Beeline for Nationals ), ''Pittsburgh Press''〕
The winner was 14-year-old Robert L. Walters of Russell, Kansas, correctly spelling "abalone." Second place went to Ann Johnson of Richfield, Minnesota, who stumbled on the word "myosin". The contest started on June 5 with 75 spellers, including 50 girls and 25 boys. By the end of round 19, only two spellers were left. At one point, both final contestants failed to spell "potiche" correctly.〔(7 June 1968). (A-b-a-l-o-n-e, He Says; Wins Spelling Bee ), ''Chicago Tribune'' (Associated Press)〕 Third place went to Stephen Bacher of Middle Village, Queens, New York, who fell on "talmudical" in the 19th round.〔(7 June 1968). (Kansas Lad Spelling King; Sharon Ranks 14th in U.S. ), ''The Herald-Dispatch'', p. 1.〕
Some local activities planned for the contestants were cancelled or changed due to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy early on June 5.〔
