f P' 4 J emurram f15urhrm marker iflliarl Qlleahu OUR friends have departed to meet their reward. They leave with their associates many pleasant memories of the deeds that they accom plislied during their brief span of life on earth. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evilg for thou art with me. Taken in the strength of young manhood, Gordon Lee Parker who passed away December 10, 1941, leaves a vacant spot in the hearts of all who knew him. An active Future Farmer of America, Gordon was a sophomore in Albany High School, a member of the Fairmount Grange in Benton county, and a member of the Albany Methodist Church.

Second Lieutenant Karl Leabo, graduate of Albany High School in 1938, was killed in a plane crash on Sunday, December 14, 1941, near Everett, Washington. Karl took his ten-week primary course at Santa Monaca, California, the twenty-week basic course at Moffett Field, and finally the advanced course before winning his wings and an assignment to the Portland Air Base.

Who hath not learned in hours of faith, The truth to flesh and sense unknown That Life is ever Lord of Death, And Love can never close its own. John Greenleaf Whittier T

We have missed these friendly overseers of our high school days, but we know they are doing their part in defending the country we love. We wish you the best of luck, Lieutenant Richter, Lieutenant Swanson, and our boys in the service. 11.1---li
