H E is 4379 married. Following nature's plan, he has one child. He owns 1.19 cars, a 1960 lf2 model, t2 parts sedan, 1 part station wagom and .06 motor- cycles. He is of middle age tbetween 20 and 60L of average height, tanywhere from 5'8 to 6'2L and weighs not more than 300 lbs. twith his dog. His chosen po- tion is 39070 milk, 417:: bourbon, 6070 martini, and the rest Alka-Seltzer. He smokes 13 uz cigarettes a day, .06 cigars, and .06 pipes. Outside school his interests vary from quail hunting to Alum crystal growing. Obviously, this mathematical attempt to pinpoint the average Country Day teacher runs amuck, for no one who fits this description is found in the halls and classrooms of the school. So diverse are the interests, activities and attitudes of the faculty that no come posite Mr. X could exist by any analysis. Outside the blue and white walls the faculty en- gages in anything from asparagus growing to motor- cycling. Somewhere in the middle,however, is a more common interest in athletics. While Messrs. Yeiser and Holliday take to the hunt, or go fishing whenever pos- sible, Mr. Brush considers sailing, Mr. Gross hockey, . and Mr. Reid snow skiing as the favorite recreation. Tennis is Mr. Wright's department both in and out of school. Coach McDaniel is of course a forced Spectator, but Mr. Irwin and Mr. Pattison are regulars at all the t athletic events. tThe latter was recently out of town to miss his first CD. football game in 16 yearsy Mr. I Machen's wizardry on the soccer field is by now leg- Mr. H.

Davison, Yeiser, McClarey, Machen and Holliday all enjoy a little classical music on the hiefi. Mr. Eberhard, a clarinetist, recalls playing for a dance combo in college. Mr. Irwin7 also a musician, has often regaled his French classes with a rendition of some obscure piece on the piano; and to the school's amazement, Coach McDaniel showed himself to be a trumpet player. On weekends, several of the celibates like Mr. Gross, MI. Cooper and Mr. Holliday, who have not joined the ranks of the confirmed old bachelors, pursue the pleasures of a casual tiate. Many teachers just rest after what Mr. Eberhard describes as an inn vigorating, hair-xaising, nerve-shattering week. Al-

They were not alone, for Mr. Brush did not know it either, and finally it was necessary to find a copy of the music in Mr. Brush's car, In a dif- i ferent way, Mr. Reid shivers at the thought of soccer games in zero weather, aner. Pattison shudders at the memory of a day he lost a baseballgame by puttixig in replacements for the first team. u-Ie did not realize i they could not come back after the initial lead was 1 losti. Mr. Davison recalls the first time he was told by i a college admission man that his recommendation Would be the deciding factor in one boy's application. Since that time more and more colleges have done this, and it is indicative of the trust in Mr. Davison's judgement. The student body, in a similar fashion, holds im- bedded in its memory impressions of the faculty Ate tention is drawn to Mr. Brush by his foible of pencil flipping and by his resounding NO's which echo off the corridor walls. Mr. Irwin is know for stories of his past life which embarrass no one but himself, while Mr. Partison's fame is founded on ebullient enthusiasms and intensive expressions looming over a desk piled Dr. H. Kxuse, Ph.D., Science though they would have it believed that they spend most of their time grading papers and preparing for the coming grind,there is much evidence of relaxation through the outlets of gardening, reading, and as Mr. Wright suggests, a great variety of things. Everyone who has been at Country Day for any length of time has had many experiences which have become, for better or for worse, a part of him, and the faculty members are no exception. Coach McDaniel, as might be expected, remembers the 1960 undefeated football season as his gre ates: thrill. On the other hand, Mr. Brush calls to mind a less triumphant occasion. It, seems that some years ago during a Gamboliers con- cert at Hillsdale, the entire group unanimously forgot Mr. G. Reid, JL, A.B., History, English
