MR. HENRY S. RICHARDS He has been our friend. Not one of us can doubt that in Mr. Richards, our principal, we have had one of the finest and warmest friends that a student body could ever hope to find. From time immemorial it has been a de- sire of many men to contribute something toward the betterment of our world, to make it a happier and a richer place in which to live. Mr. Richards has long ago done his share and, as betokens a great man, he has continued for many years to mold the stuf dents of Today into the men and women of a better Tomorrow. Everyone of the Roosevelt graduates has become a finer person through our princis pals kindly guidance, his hearty friendship and his sincere understanding. They carry with them the lasting memory of his good will and geniality. lt has been the little things that have counted. His ready interest in our problems, his warm comradeship about the school, his enlivening humour, and his kind advice are the remembrances We will cherish. He has not brought about a world-Chang ing effect, nor will his name go down in the annals of history. But all of us will pause, sometime in the years to come, at our daily work, and think humbly to ourselves: There, truly, is one of the World's best .
