14.An insect bee stands out on the logo of the Scripps National Spelling Bee,despite"Bee"being unrelated to the name of the insect."Bee"refers to"a gathering",where people join together in an activity.The National Spelling Bee,formed in 1925,was a collection of many local spelling bees,organized by Louisville.With competitions,cash prizes,and a trip to the nation's capital,it was hoped that the bee would stimulate"general interest among pupils in a dull subject".Mark Neuhauser won the national Spelling Bee held that year,by successfully spelling"gladiolus".In 2014,there were two winners of the bee-a conclusion that has only happened three other times in Bee history,and not since 1962.Sriam Harthwar,a 14-year-old from New York and Ansun Sujoe,a 13-year-old from Texas shared the excitement as co-champions after 22rounds of spelling.Each took home over $30,000in cash,scholarship and bonds.
