Yep - wiring pen wire. Get some of the Roadrunner enamelled wire (or normal
enamelled copper wire, about 38SWG), then tin it, push it into the hole and
solder to a track on both sides. Make sure the "bump" on the topside isn't
too high, and also check for conductivity before (and after) putting the
compunent into the board. Solder the pins and that's it.
Later.
