Scripps Company. The winner was 13-year-old Elizabeth Hess of Arizona, correctly spelling the word soubrette.[1] 11-year-old Raymond A. Sokolov of Detroit, Michigan placed second, falling on "spermaceti", after finishing 22nd the prior year.[1] Third place went to 13-year-old David Hudson of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, who had placed sixth the prior year.[1] There were 53 contestants this year, 37 girls and 16 boys. Four were returning spellers, and the youngest speller this year was 11.[2] 541 words were used. The contest started at 8:45 am and continued until 5:40pm except for a lunch break and brief recesses.[3][4][5] As of 2018, Hess is the only speller from Arizona to have ever won the Bee.[6] References1. ^1 2 (22 May 1953).
