4 1t might be Of interest to note the
words commonly misspelled on the
two lists. On the high school list
"cantaloupe," that delight of the late
summer, leads the list, having been
missed IA times. Some of the contes-
tants spelled it musk melon and let it
go at that. "Kimono" was missed
13 times, nine girls spelling it in var
ious ways not correct, however, the
favorite way was to end the word with
"a" instead of "o". Inherent" was
missed ten times, accommodate" and
"embarrass" nine times, while "laby-
rinth" and "maneuver" caused eight
to slip. "Aqueduct" and sergeant"
were missed seven times each. "Proph-
ecy", prejudice, "seize" and "passa-
BILE" each caught six contestants.
"Thinnest', acquittal" and bouquet"
were each missed five times, while four
contestants tripped on chauffeur,
"indict", "omelet", "buoyant" and zap
Hpalling." Several of the hardest
words, were not missed at all, which
indicates that the pupils had made
careful preparation for the contest.
In the grades the hardest words in
order of difficulty were: resurrection
and nucleus, pollination, sorghum,
ptomaine, annihilate, licorice, kimono,
amateur, caterer, luscious, exaggerate,
alsike, pasteurize, nasturtium, calcium
descendant, comedy, gizzard, triple,
seize, misspell, delirium, embarrass,
legume and ammonia.
