Charles "Jeep" Quire, who taught and coached at Trinity for 10 years (1954-1964), was one of the school's most respected faculty members. He was a friend to colleagues and students alike.

Jeep was a coach whose success was measured not by the win column but by his ability to draw out the best his players had to give. He coached football and basketball from 1954-59 and football only from 1959-64.

Jeep was known as one of the state's most innovative football coaches. He originated the "short stem T" and the "quick huddle." In his first victory over St. Xavier, he created an offense that utilized four "lonesome" ends and one running back.

Jeep was a special person whose demeanor endeared him to the entire Trinity community. His unique brand of inspiration was illustrated clearly by "the walk."

Before the St. X game, Jeep told his players he would walk home if they won. True to his work, following the emotional victory over the Tigers, Jeep took his legendary walk home along Eastern Parkway.
