This Chapter was organized at the 

 request of the principal of the school 

 and her advisors among the parents' 

 and teachers' association. The nucleus 

 from which such definite growth was 



conduct a meeting properly and learn 

 to speak while on our feet. 



The birds which reside here as well 

 as the migratory species are constantly

 a youth.
