Washington, June 24 (by the Associated Press) - Product of a
small rural school, 13-year-old Dean Lucas of Congress, Ohio,
today has the title of national spelling champion and a prize of
$1000. Lucas, who is in the eighth grade in his town of 150
population, last night "spelled down" 13 girls and
three boys to win the championship which is annually conducted by
17 leading newspapers. The word "abrogate" gained him
the victory which Ralph Keenan, of Waukon, Iowa, aged 13, failed
to spell. Keenan took second place and a $500 prize. Minerva
Ressler, 12 years old, of Lancaster, Pa., took third place. All
the contestants had won regional contests before their
participation in the national championship. Lucas was sent to the
contest by the Akron Beacon-Journal; Keenan by the Des
Moines Register, and the Ressler girl by the Lancaster
New Era.
