The Archive would also like to rec- ognize two other members of Country Day who have retired this year after many years of faithful service. Mr. Leslie G. lrwin is retiring after having taught French at Country Day for twenty years. He also used to coach Middle School baseball and Fifth and Sixth grade basketball, as well as help with Middle School football. In re membrance of his baseball days at Country Day the Middle School dia- mond was dedicated Irwin Field. Perhaps Mr. lrwin will best be re membered by Country Day for his great love of boys and the way he takes so much ribbing and kidding from ev- eryone. One of the friendliest mem- bers of the faculty, he will be greatly missed by the school. Mr. lrwin formerly taught both French and Spanish at the University of Alabama, the University of Cincinnati, and Our Lady of Cincinnati before coming to Country Day. Having lived in Madisonville until 1952 and then in Kenwood, Mr. lrwin plans to move in a few years to Deming, New Mexico. Mr. Orian E. Gillespie, commonly known around Country Day as Slim , has retired this June after twenty-three years of service as maintenance man at the school. Slim intends to retire to a small town in the vicinity of Tampa, Florida, where he plans to take it easy and do what he wants - mainly hunt- ing and fishing and following sports.

Next year Mr. Davison plans to con- tinue to teach Latin at both Country Day and Hillsdale. The Archive wishes Mr. Davison much happiness and good fortune in years to come. Mr. Yeiser and Mr Davison
