Spelling Bee crown lifts Steven Hirsch at national parents watch
The Syracuse Herald-Journal reports 14 year old Ruth from Mt. Carmel and 13 year old Steven Hirsch led by Audrey Mathews in a national spelling bee. Steven, from Kirk Junior High, advanced through rounds until he was eliminated on the word gnarled. His family cheered from Washington to Geneva as Steven's long effort ended with a $40 consolation and a $500 finalist prize.
