This clipping from a BJ spelling bee report May 10, 1969 almost looks like a spoof, but it’s really a marvelous goof. Check the two words highlighted in yellow in the headline. It looks “Liek” the headline writer has his “Oown” disgraceful style. If you can see the yellow highlight in the second graph of the story, you will learn the bee was at the Johns S. Knight Auditorium. To add to the misery, the caption lists poor Beth Movens (center) instead of correctly (at left). You can see why the spellers in the photo are smiling.
