Anderson 1L were the other winners, Darcey leading the second heat in the 155-pound class, and Anderson winning the first in the first heat of the three year class...

S. navy watches over them night and day and that the world is still safe for love and sentiment. Nevertheless, Ms. Bel Scott's brief appearance on the stage is ample compensation even for "Shipmates Forever...
