| The Brightness On the Dep 1 Which Made Our Principal COLONEL CHARLES S. ROLLER, JR. Affectionately known far and wide as the “Big Boy”, our principal, Col. Charles S. Roller, Jr. has carried on the famous tra digons of his family by further advancing Augusta until it now commands high respect as an educatic nal institu- tion that ranks among the best preparatory schools in the Eastern part of the United States. “WHITE Col. Roller as co-owner of the only privately owned mil- itary school in the United States has demonstrated time and again that his principle of “making a boy rather than break- ing a boy” pays huge dividends in the “development of the youth of our nation “who have been intrusted to his care. This personal influence helps to make Augusta the “bet- ter” school that has made it and its principal well known and admired throughout the breadth of the land. Whenever a cadet needs advice or counsel, he knows that he has only to turn to the “Big Boy” and there he finds his true friend and counselor ready to lend an ear and to give that wise advice that has come only through his long associ- ation with youth. He has grown younger with each succeeding generation and this fact alone has endeared him to student, faculty mem- ber and the community. May the good Lord grant him many, many years more to continue this school the wonder- ful place it has been for over two hundred years.
