Members of the Kiwanis Club today enjoyed an old-fashioned spelling bee. The match was conducted by Professor Chastain and was won by Irvin Van Dyke with Prof. Will Scott of the Indiana Biological Station at Winona second. Both Van Dyke and Scott misspelled the word "jardiniere" and as they were the last two standing the match was allowed to go on. It was during this period of extension that Van Dyke finally won.
