I Glimpses Augusta provides the kaleidoscope . . . the kaleidoscope depicts the color of Augusta — not only the colorful nature of the cadets and their uniforms against backdrops of fall, winter, and spring, but also it allows a clear depiction of the colorful character of the cadets of the corps . . . the complexion of the classes which make Augusta an outstanding military school, the cast of the Uni¬ forms in every phase of athletics . . . the blending of the military and the organizations ... all adding up to the complete picture of 1962 — the many- hued year.

Spirit, drive, enthusiasm, affection PRINCIPAL Major General Chas. S. Roller, Jr. B.S., M.S., Virginia Military Institute Life at Augusta would not be half as colorful as it is without the spirited Principal who has directed his beloved school for over sixty years with fairness, skill, humor, sincerity, and devotion. Promoted to Major General in less than two years from his promotion as Brigadier General, Gen. Chas. S. Roller, Jr. and his entire family have been models of good citizenship for the boys who have attended the family school. Crises are every day events in the life of Gen. Roller, for every boy takes his problems to The Big Boy . . . and every boy finds solace, wisdom, and help from a man who is never too busy or too worried with his own problems to help those who need advice. Right by the General ' s side for over fifty years has been his lovely wife, Mrs. Janet S. Roller. Every day finds Mrs. Roller inspecting the grounds, con¬ ferring with the cadets, and trying to comfort those who need comfort, encourage those who are dis¬ pirited, and praise those who have done well. No Principal, except the General, would think of appearing in class rooms daily, of speaking to his boys at every lunch period, or of showing the varsity goal-line stands. His enthusiasm knows no bounds. His heart is as big as all outdoors. His drive keeps the corps on its feet. Each member of the General ' s family gives his all to Augusta. That same spirit of devotion and dedica¬ tion which he exhibits unites his family and school into one large family group. Without the Rollers, there could be no Kaleidoscope of Augusta! PORTRAIT FOR POSTERITY ... Gen. Roller beams, and the camera captures the seriousness of purpose, love of duty, and the honor on each face. Gen. Roller, Mai Livick, Jr., Mrs. Roller, Linda Lee Livick, Mrs. M. H. Livick, Chas, Roller Livick, Mrs. S. S. Wales, Major M. H. Livick, and Col. S. S. Wales form a vignette of dedication.
