and Stingem bunch straightway
marched to the railway station, grab
bed and youngsters grips and check
ed them out to their chapter house,
piled him in a cab and proceeded to
kidnap the prize. That evening the
first year man went to a reception and
presented the armored plate front of

dances, however, is to be gone at
Systematically and scientifically with
professional and trained teachers.
