Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1954 volume:

. k igb r: :' • m : • • - the mm •• mJ . t '■'v '•r This is the story of a school, a school located in the eastern edge of the Scooner state where the mocking bird wakes us singing, 'Oh, what a beautiful morning 1' This is the story of oil the students and teachers of the school and we want them to feel that the book belongs to them. This is o story of progress under a wise leadership. Now turn the pages and continue the story, a story of honest effort mixed with smiles and tears, the story of Roland High in the year of 1953-4. Superintendent 's Message Life's simplest lessons are sometimes the most difficult to learn and practice. Nothing that exists in the universe is more sure than: We get back our mete as we measure; We cannot do wrong and feel right; We cannot give pain and gain pleasure. For justice avenges each slight. This is your key to the treasure house of happiness.
