Prairie Sentry captures the essence of the American West with a majestic pronghorn antelope standing proudly, flanked by cacti and a watchful ground squirrel. This bronze sculpture, with its rich patina, was created in 1988 and stands as a tribute to the spirit and resilience of Lamar Community College and its surrounding community. The pronghorn, unique to the western United States, symbolizes endurance and strength, making it a fitting mascot for the college. This sculpture is featured in the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Inventories of American Painting and Sculpture database.
