He attended the Eur- eaka High school for ten years, then came to Chemawa to finish his last two years of high school, and to take up a vocation. He chose painting and his ambition is to take up painting and commercial art. LeRoy enjoys hunting, fishing and drawing, and if you happen to drop into room 48 in Brew er hall, you will hear him telling some of his ex ploits of hunting bear in the California wilds, or of a fishing trip to the mountain streams, where all you had to do was drop your line in the water and you had a fish. When asked his opinion of the social hour, he said, “ The girls never bother me, although I in- dulge’quite frequently, just to give them a break. ’ ’ LeRoy has played on the football team and basketball team one year, and saw plenty of ac-‘ tion in both sports. He was also manager of the: basketball team. Mr. Wilder has been an officer for the past two years and is a willing and efficient leader. He is always ready for duty and never shirks from work. It was indeed a wise move when this cap able young man was chosen for Vice President of the Senior class. He has proved himself cap able of any responsibility that may arise and is one that will see it through till the end.
