I iust give them a break
J ^EROY Wilder was born at Orleans, California
on November 2, 1919. 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.
