飛 (to(basu): to skip over)一人一人順番に立って、自己紹介をした。
Hitori hitori junban ni tatte, jiko-shōkai o shita.
Each man stood up in turn and introduced himself.一人一人 (hitori hitori: one by one; each; one at a time) one + person + one + person
立 (ta(tsu): to stand up)

As 順番 is pretty close in meaning to 順々, we could double the fun by changing the sentence to this:
一人一人順々に立って、自己紹介をした。
Hitori hitori junjunni tatte, jiko-shōkai o shita.
