Yet oft when after honorable toil Rests the tired mind and waking loves to dream, My spirit shall revisit thee.

PRINCIPALS HEN Colonel Roller is mentioned, the word Character leaps to the mind as the most fitting description. Kindliness, un- derstanding, and loyalty all have dominant places in his make-up. He is kind to all he meets, no COLONEL I. J) ROLLER matter what their rank or station; he under- stands our troubles from the trivial to the great; and he is loyal to his God and his Country and to all the ideals and traditions of the school. He is a man of noble vision in all that makes for greatness and success in the life and work of a school. He is an unfailing and sympathetic friend of youth, with an understanding of its ideals and interests, a clear insight into its short- comings, and a just and fearless readiness to rebuke its errors. We salute you, and wish you continued success in your work of guiding the youth of the nation. The 1936-ecall ERSATILITY is the key-note to Major Roller. A soldier, athlete, scholar, gentle- man, and friend, he is the man to whom we go when in need of advice or aid, and we always know that our interests are his interests, our troubles his troubles, and our happiness his hap- piness. Unafraid to discipline any, gracious enough to forgive the errors of all, he guides us, leading us toward the path of right which he himself has so conscientiously blazed. He is a Christian gentleman whom increasing numbers of friends and acquaintances have MAJOR C. S. ROLLER, JR. learned to honor and respect. May his life be a long, successful, and happy one in the prosecu- tion of all the tasks he has set for himself with such unswerving and tireless devotion.
