WASHINGTON (UPI) - Jolitta
Schlehuber, 14, lives on a farm
and attends a two-room country
scnool near Mcl'herson, Kan.
Yet she can spell words that
would stump many a college
graduate and probaby quite a few
doctors of philosophy.
Her spelling prowess carried her
inursday to the championship of
the National Spelling Bee when
she correctly spelled "propylae-
um ana "syllepsis.
What was the secret of her suc
cess?
Encouraging parents who
played word games with her and
showed her that spelling could be
lun even while drying the dishes.
Rural school training by two
teachers there are only two at
the 20-student school she attends
who stressed spelling for all
their students but fed Jolitta's
special interest with extracurricu
lar spelling lists, rhyming diction
aries and other word books.
An interest in reading that
takes precedence over television.
She watches TV only once or
twice a week.
When Jolitta copped the national
spelling championship Thursday,
she walked away with a $1,000
cash prize, a trophy cup and ex
pense money for a weekend in
New York.
Her mother, Mrs. Milton Schle
huber, a kindergarten teacher,
was all smiles.
Mrs. Schlehuber said Jolitta be
came a spelling bug" when her
tnunn-graae teacher, now retired,
Mrs. James Knight of Knobnoster.
Mo., gave the youngster her first
real spelling list to "keep, her
busy."
But Mrs. Schlehuber had inter
ested Jolitta in snelline even he-
fore that. When Jolitta was 6 and
7. she and her mother used to
play "railroad spelling" to pass
me lime wnue doing household
chores together.
In railroad spelling, one snells
a word and his opponent has to
minx ot and spell another word
that begins with the last letter of
the previous word. The game be
comes difficult when the previous
wore is one line "ox.
Jolitta's father also keeps his
daughter in form by tossing diffi
cult words at her to spell.
Jolitta said gleefully she
couldn'Uwait to tell him that the
word "triturate" came up in this
year's bee. He had heard his
dentist use it last winter it means
pulverize) and asked Jolitta then
if she knew it. She didn't then.
Jolitta said that "association"
is one of her best helns in spell
ing. "Like exaggerate," she ex
plained. "It has two g's so you
exag-g-e-r-a-t-e."

The liner, America's largest

to sign on until a list of grievances
was settled.
uricvances involved shift as
