-.u Office of the Headmaster-1961 The Facult and dministration As the foundation of the school, the Administration of The Academy through its faculty and officers has guided the school. Without a well-run administration the progress which The Academy has experienced would have been impossible. To instruct The Academy's growing student body, the faculty has been enlarged with no decrease in quality whatsoever. Individual attention, which is the forte of The Academy has been exploited even further. It is through the faculty and ad- ministration that the progress of the last twelve years has been realized and put into effect.

i The Headmaster Mr. William S. Putnam's first year at The Columbus Academy was the Class of 1964's first year in the Upper School. The Headmaster, a native of Kentucky and a graduate of Amherst, came to The Academy after serving as Assistant Head- master of St. Louis Country Day School. Because of his efforts in the last four years, The Academy has improved, and the students have profited from his leadership. The school looks better: there is now a lighted football stadium and beautiful tennis courts. Students look better: they now wear coats and ties. Parents are kept better informed: they receive greenies and interim grades in addition to trimester marks and comments. Stu- dents have become more responsible by taking greater part in running the affairs of the student body: we now have student-proctored study halls and the honor system-an innovation that characterizes The Academy's ideals. Students have more privileges: we may now freely use the library and Senior Commons Room. We have Mr. Putnam to thank for these improvements. Mr. Putnam has made our four years in the Upper School easier. He has been a guiding light, providing us with much needed advice, encouragement, and dis- cipline. He has lent us a sympathetic ear and a resourceful mind for scholastic clif- ficulties, class projects, and college headaches. Our thanks will never repay Mr. Putnam: we may only wish him continued success.
