IN MEMORY OF GEO. IRION.

A wave of sadness settled over the
whole community when we learned
that George Irion,s "Star had turned
to Gold" He was a boy whom all
held in the highest esteem. We were
proud of him when he finished the
Sth Grade, head OF his class. Proud
when he entered Mcmillan High as
sophomore having completed the
freshmen course alone at his home.
Proud when after having completed
the course in two years he entered
University of Missouri, and finished
with high honors there, Specializing
| in the engineers course. At one
time he thought of enlisting but his
| teachers induced him to remain and
finish his work. When his all came
he entered the Radio School, had
finished the course and was waiting
| to be sent lover seas" when the final
summons came.
We are glad that one so brigh
and manly can be counted as one o
Prairie Lea's boys. Our heartfelt
sympathy goes out to the bereayeC
ones in their sorrow, but words arr
useless when we try to tell wha
we feel. A Friend.
