Let us compose a letter, with the help of our roving reporter, to our dearest friend. Dr. L. W. Fisher, informing him of our where- abouts. Dear Dr. Fisher, Since we have been gone from Parkview for sev- eral years I thought you might be interested in what all of your little chickadees in the class of 1961 were doing. so here is a brief idea of their destinies.
