from ths Hackenaack High school, lust
out of short skirts, a mere-doll, aband
oned his career and deserted his wife
and family. ,
In full possession of all his faculties,
presumably calmly discussing his af

that - their ' "love" may be crowned by
marriage. ' '
Rising above her daughter, the mother
