,. To the Graduating Seniors: I can, in this brief space, say only a little of what I would like to say. We, the faculty, will see you leave The Academy with regrets. You have been a good class, and we will miss you as friends as well as stu- dents. Certainly we have not been successful in teaching each of you all we would like you to know, but no faculty has achieved that ideal. We havewatched and, I hope, helped you grow into young men of judgment, integrity, and courage. We think you know the value of effort, and the need for service. We believe that you have cause for pride in your achievements, and we pray that your pride is not tainted with arrogance. Certainly you carry something of us with you, just as each of you has influenced The Academy by your presence here. If you can retain the best of what The Academy had to offer, you will find a source of strength for your lifetime. In turn, The Academy will continually gain strength in the reflection of your lives. We ask only that the future will offer challenges sufficient to demand your best efforts and your highest response as moral and intelligent men. ilk.. SQ...

A senior speaks to Mr. Putnam about his college plansg friends of the school watch Mr. Putnam speak at the Prize Night exercisesg a stu- dent views Mr. Putnam silently contemplating the plans for the new Academy. What is similar between each of these circumstances? Mr. Putnam's dedication to both the new and the old school, and the student. He does everything in his power to have each senior admitted to the college of his choice. The honor of the school is personified in a hard- working man: Mr. Putnam. Mr. Putnam, a graduate of Amherst College, was assistant Headmaster of St. Louis Country Day before coming to the Academy. He has spent the past six years at the school making constant improvements in teach- ing methods, buildings, administration, and faculty personnel. Further- more, he has offered the student body a greater amount of liberty by permitting such items as the honor system, commons room, and student- proctored study halls. His dedication to the Academy has been a fine example for both the students and the faculty.
