The 1961 Caravel,' is respectfully dedicated to Mr. William S. Putnam, fourth Headmaster of the Colum- bus Academy. Mr. Putnam, formerly of The St. Louis Country Day School, became Headmaster in September of 1960, and immediately began to leave the imprint of his dy- namic personality on the faculty and student body. He is, to the students, a warm, friendly, and judicious counselor. Already, we have developed a deep and grateful appreciation of his helpful and encouraging attitude toward our occasional problems and uncer- tainties. Under the leadership of Mr. Putnam, the Student Council has achieved new and constructive power. Un- der his leadership, the senior class has been charged with greater and more challenging responsibilities. As a result, the senior class is becoming, as it should, the leaders of the school's student body. In all, Mr. Put- nam has brought to his new school, a spirit of both youthfulness and reserve, and his influence has made us a group in which each member is a vital part. Few men, in our recollection, have been so warmly and readily accepted by the student body as has been our new Headmaster. We wish him luck and feel certain that he will continue to lead successfully and notably in the challenging, rewarding, and demanding position of Headmaster.
