 iHowe Enterprise Friday, February 9, 1940 pg. 1 KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR by Mame Roberts Leroy Wiggins This column, this week, pays tribute to the boys on the farm in the Howe community, who by their own efforts are seeking more education. Fred Leroy Wiggins has lived on the farm all of his 19 years of life. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. L.A. WIggins who farm west of town. Leroy graduated from Howe high school with the class of 38. He was one of the best football players on the team his senior year. Leroy's plans to go to college and become a mechanical engineer were made impossible by bad crops. He decided to make the best of the situation by remaining at home and helping on the farm and taking advantage of every educational opportunity that came his way, until he could go to college. The first opportunity the presented itself was an NYA project that paid a small salary and gave the oppotunity to take post graduate work at the high school. He is a good workman and a good student. He has a goal, which he is determined to reach. He improves every minute of the advantages he has. Leroy Wiggins will make good.
