Dana Salander of the Thorp public schools won the Clark County spelling championship here last Friday afternoon by correctly spelling “bookkeeper” and “campaign.”
Dana, who is the student of Mrs. Edna Milligan of Thorp, got her chance when petite Peggy Gosse, a little sixth grader from the Colby public school stumbled on “bookkeeper.” She had left out one of the “k’s.” Dana then spelled the word correctly and went on to spell the afterword, “campaign.”
In winning the county championship she outlasted seven other school champions. They included: Barbara Babich of St. Anthony’s school in Loyal; George Ouimette of the Neillsville public schools; Carol German of the Owen public schools; Joyce Humboldt of the Greenwood public schools; Charles Wegner of St. Mary’s Catholic school in Neillsville; and Laurie Sterzinger of St. Mary’s Catholic school in Colby.
