Family spells success for youngster John Capehart
John Capehart, 12, of Tulsa Oklahoma, won the 1961 National Spelling Bee after 24 rounds beating Mary Lukes 12 of Oxnard California. His parents Maurice and (Dr.) Capehart and his brother Mark 14 cheered him on as he calmly finished with "smaragdine" for emerald related meaning.
