Here it was that Lydia Senical had tounded her school. Julia Huttinen, one of the teachers, was happy in her work as dancing instructor. After several hours of traveling, I was startled by a voice say- ing, Why, if here isn ' t Marjorie Atkin. I turned about! and be- held Ollila, a troop of children following in her train.
