He was soon advanced to the position of Principal and in 1926 became Superintendent of Schools in Palmerton. It is Dr. Roeder who sees that P.H.S. has all the modern facilities possible. I-le attends many state and national conventions in order to keep up with the latest trends in education. When asked what he does in his spare time, Dr. Roeder smiles and says he has so many activities that he can hardly squeeze in all of them. He enjoys playing golf and bridge. The Board of Trade, Lehigh Valley Motor Club, Board of Health, County Crippled Children's Committee, and the American Legion also claim much of his time outside of school.
