IH - 55

Milford - 43

The J.V. Basketball Braves finished out their season last Friday night with a 5 5 4 3 win over Milford at IH. The team started out sluggish at the beginning of the game, allowing the Eagles to pull ahead to a 12-7 lead by the end of the first quarter. Despite their efforts to gain the lead in the second quarter the Braves went into the lbckers at halftime three points behind Milford. In the second half, however, the J.V. Braves turned the ball game around. Dave Hancher sparked the team in the third quarter, scoring ten straight points. The team continued their solid play in the fourth quarter, to maintain their previously established lead to win 5543. Leading scorers for the J.V. Braves were Dave Hancher with nineteen points, Terry Healey with fourteen points and Pete Leugers scoring eight points. "We had a real solid year,'' commented Coach West in reference to the team's 1 0 4 season in the league, a record enabling the Braves to capture second in the EHL. "We were only a couple of games away from the championship," he continued. Mr. West went on to say that there were only two disappointing factors in this year's season.

CAROLINE Cont'd from page 11

The first of these was contending with injuries in the beginning of the season. "It is very difficult going into games without key people," stated Mr.West, citing Dave Hancher's shoulder separation which kept him out o i the first five games of the season. Also a disappointing factor of this year's season was the team's free throw performance. Of their four league losses, Mr. West noted that two of them were caused by poor performance from the free throw line. "But, overall we had a really good year," concluded Coach West.

Deer Park - 61

Deer Park defeated the Indian Hill JV Basketball Braves 61-59 February 20 at IH. Deer Park dominated the game on the strength of excellent outside shooting. The Braves' biggest lead in the game was one point during the middle of the third quarter . The game started roughly for the Braves, as both teams' defenses made mistakes. The Braves' offense started having execution problems and Deer Park bolted out to a 26-21 halftime lead. After surviving mild threats for the lead in the third quarter, Deer Park had established a 3 point lead with 1 minute left in

High scorers for the Braves included Dave Hancher with 19 points, Terry Healey with 15 points and Carmen with 13. Other contributing factors to the Braves' loss was poor free throw shooting and poor defensive rebounding. The Braves were led in scoring by Healey, who had 16 points and Dave Hancher, who had 13.

The Braves moved within 1 in the fourth quarter after Terry Healey scored underneath with 2:5 0 left. Madeira, however, pulled back out to 4 point lead with 1 minute left, winning by six.

win first tourney game by Stuart Adams

The IH Battling Braves emerged victorious in their first game of the Oxford AAA Tournament last night, sneaking past the Colerain Cardinals 6 1-58. With only ten seconds on the clock, Mark Gottschalk hit two free throws to put the Braves on top 59-58. Gary Freytag then sunk two more free throws to clinch the 61-58 victory. Playing before an unbelieveably rowdy crowd, the Braves established an early lead. By the end of the first quarter, the Braves led by six. As the game progressed, however, the team ran into trouble. Due to sloppy playing, the Braves gave up their lead, leaving the score 28-35 a t the half. After the half-time, the team settled down to their regular game keeping an even pace. With 1:58 left in the third quarter, however, the Battling Braves poured it on, coming to within one point of the Cardinals by the end of the quarter.

The Grapplers go on to compete this weekend in the Sectional meet this Friday and Saturday at Colerain.

'It's Academic' team wins second straight by Jay Schloss The Indian Hill "It's Academic" team staged a come-frombehind win over St. Ursuline and Lloyd Memorial Sunday afternoon with respective scores of 610,270, and 200. The win placed IH's trio of Greg Troutman, David Johnson and Gary Freytag into the sernifinals -just two wins away from a possible city championship. Indian Hill was down by sixty points to Ursuline after the fust round, only to make up the difference by answering a l l but one of the category questions (Greg, Dave and Gary will now, no doubt, remember that blue is the color suggested by loyalty). IH furthered its lead in the packet and grab bag rounds,

dominating all late rounds. Spurred on by the cheering of spectators and the pep band, the trio finished with the extremely high score of 610. Considering that the average winner's score is about 450, this score and the last taping's score of 650 are terrific accomplishments. Sunday's taping had an informal air uncommon to most "It's Academic" matches. The utter confidence of IH seemed-t o ridicule the other teams, especially when David ,Johnson answered a passed math question with an almost mocking "Four." Twice team members disagreed on answers, shouting out different answers at the same time, but both times finally agreeing on the correct answer. The laughs of

the Ursuline fans at this confidence gradually faded into silence as IH widened its lead. This confidence may have caused the team t o get a bit cocky a t times, particularly when they answered the last question with a joking, "Dred Scott." This may need explaining: Dred Scott, the plaintiff in the famous slave trial of the 1 8 0 0 ' ~has ~ become the answer to every question that no one knew in practice. "We always used to say jackass answers in practice," said Dave, but until now, "Dred Scott" had stayed in room 206.

In this year's Chieftain Issue No.4, staffers polled the student body to ascertain student attitudes toward student leaders in Student Government. In that poll, only seven percent of the student population felt that the prupose of SG was "to be a source of intellectual discus~ion." Perhaps the reason for the marginal number comes from a general misunderstanding of the term "intellectual discussion."- But, in an ideal situation, the word "intellectual" should catch the eye of every true student. In an academic environment, which a school supposedly maintains, the prime concerns of student leaders should be student concerns - intellectual concerns. The question that any Student Government evaluation includes pertains to how well SG addresses the concerns of students. What, then, really are the concerns of students? In the past SG has equated student concerns with activities and repeatedly preached the trite slogan, "Get involved." But, do most students spend most of their day worrying about the girls' varsity basketball game next Thursday or the next session of Travel Club? The answer is an obvious "no" Students spend most of their time learning - probably not in class either, but about each other - about the differences we perceive
French Caroline adapts to American speed limits

A lot needs to be done in this school to promote individuality. For instance, SG could attempt to salvage the literary magazine from financial problems by sponsoring student creative writers. SG could also hold student debates on student social issues - the draft isn't such a small concern, you know. These are just two simple suggestions that take up a few lines in a Chieftain editorial. There are many more that could be suggested. SG programs don't have to provide for the entire student body - they can apply to only a few students too. But SG members need to remember that a culturally healthy student body maintains a dynamic character, and that, after all, SG is the assembly that must lead students in the search for individuality.

football is the one sport 1 really follow," he states, "and I used to be a big Stingers' fan--until the team broke up." ~lthoughChuck can often be found watching sports, he prefers getting involved in them. He plays on the intramural basketball team, "Purple Haze," and says "Although we don't always win, really enjoy playing." However, snow sports are Chuck's real favorites. "I enjoy the snow," relayed Chuck, "I play hockey occasionally, but hitting the slopes for skiing is the best." To keep up with his cold weather nature, Chuck has decided to go north to college. Although he is not totally sure where he will go, his choices have been narrowed down to four schools in particular. Dennison, DePauw, Carlton College, and Williams College are the top possibilities. Wherever Chuck goes to college, it is certain that his collection of 72 albums will travel along with him. '4 can really get G o music," said Chuck. "I fmd that there's different music for my dif-

ferent moods." His collection ranges from jazz to dassical to rock. "I enjoy any music except country and doctors' office music. My favorites, though, are ELP and Jimi Hendrix." This was one reason why he readily agreed with the name of his basketball team. Playing the trumpet has also given Chuck a feel for music. "I've played since I was in fifth grade," he stated. "I've also been in orchestra for two years, and pep band for three." When asked why he has had such dedication to the instrument, Chuck replied, at least "I just like playing most of the time." With all of this going on in his life, it's suprising that he would have time for anything else, but he does support a local fan club. Chuck's a loyal fan of "Help me Billy," of which not much is known. Chuck wouldn't reveal . anything, but then there is the always the vossibility that he, like so many other IHers, just doesn't have any idea.

girls end season with 8-10

by Ann Brainard The Girls' Varsity Basketball team ended their season last Friday night, with a loss to an overpowering Lakota team 59 to 25 at Middletown High School in the AAA Sectional Tournament. The Squaws held the third seeded Lakota team scoreless for the first five minutes of the game, but Lakota exploded for 8 straight points, ending the first quarter with an 8 to 5 lead. Lakota took a firm hold on the game in the second quarter, going into the locker room with a 28 to 12 lead over IH. Although Melissa Pope scored 12 points, poor outside and free throw shooting prevented the Squaws from obtaining a first

round victory in the sectional tourney, as Lakota breezed to a 59-25 victory over the struggling IH Squaws. The Squaws ended their regular season, loosing a close game to Milford 45 to 37 Thursday, Feb. 14. Milford scored early, leaving the Squaws with an 8 point defecit at the end of the first quarter. IH stayed even with the Eagles in the second quarter, trailing 25 to 17 at the half. In the third quarter the Squaws could only score four points and Milford extended their lead to 14 points with only one quarter left to play. The Squaws made a great comeback in the final quarter, getting within four

record

points of Milford, but the Eagles held on to score a 45 to 37 victory over the IH Squaws. Leading scorers for IH were Melissa Pope, scoring 21 points and Maura A'Hearn dropping in 18 points for the Squaws. The team finished their season with a 6 win - 8 loss Eastern Hills League record and an overall record of 8 wins and 10 losses. Although they w i l l miss Seniors, Marcella Garcia and Matina Seremetis, Mr. Pfirman and the Varsity Basketball Squaws look forward to a much improved season next year, having gained valuable experience from the 1979-1980 season and returning with the majority of their players.

events include technical and w~iting and extemporaneous speaking, safety posters, and the Metric 500. In extemporaneous speaking, the student has five possible topics. The judges give him one of these, and he has fifteen minutes to prepare a five minute speech on the subject. In technical speaking, the student has just one topic, upon which h e gives a fifteen minute speech. The writing competitions are 'I basically the same as English compositions, only on topics relating to industrial arts, either technical or practical. The Metric 500 is something of an advanced pinewood derby. Students design, draw, and construct their own "racers," using only the metric system. They then race their creations at the conference, thus testing their designing and finishing skills. IH will have twelve students competing in these events as part of OSIAC (Ohio Student Industrial ARts Club), as well as in the open division. This is IH's first year competing on the state level. No one is expecting a fantastic I amount of awards, but, said Mr.

After judging a couple of the events on Thursday, Mr. Emery and Mr. Dupps will attend several conference meetings on Friday a n d Saturday, where they will discuss various aspects of industrial arts with other Ohio educators. Thousands of exhibits from schools all over Ohio will fill the Convention Center during all three days. Seventy-five t o a hundred commercial exhibits will also be shown, but these are open only t o teachers. In addition, several supply houses will present projects and catalogs for the teachers' benefit. But the student exhibits are open to the general public.

Most people, when thinking of modeling, get images of beautiful, slender, females living @amorous lives in L.A. or New York. Yet, if this were the case, Indian Hill would have lost several beautiful, slender, females t o such cities already. While most students don't even begin t o think of employment until summer vacation rolls around, a few IH girls work all seasons as models. Granted, for teenage girls, modeling isn't quite as glamorous as it is for their coast counterparts, but it does provide a fun job as well as exciting possibilities for the future. Girls interested in modeling have basically two choices open to them. They can either work through an agency, such as John Robert Powers, as Liz Woodhouse did for several years, or they can go free-lance, as girls like Sue Bradfield and Lette , Andre have done. Many girls get started through department store teen boards,, like Shillito's or Pogue's Junior Board. Each year, boards take applications from numerous hopeful future models. Those

who are accepted have the chance to model for the department store the following year. The work is somewhat limited and consists almost entirely of fashion shows. The pay isn't the best, and the girls can't model anywhere else,' but the work provides good experience. Junior Phyllis Burnstein and senior Angie Martin are two that have worked with the department store boards. Many girls go free-lance after having worked on a team board for several years. Models who work free-lance don't have such steady employment, but they have more freedom. Since they must apply for each job, they can schedule them to fit their own needs. For example, many of Lette Andre's jobs have been working in nearby shops in lunch hour fashion shows. But, because the work is not always steady, she has found Limelight to be a big help. Limelight is something like a computer dating service for models. It keeps a portfolio on each girl, and when someone needs a model with certain qualifications, it brings the two to-

The decrease of dependence on foreign countries for our vegetables would raise the GNP of our country incredibly. And the solution is so simple.

If each marine were equipped with a 5-pound bag of soy fertilizer, he could storm Tehran, spread the fertilizer on the ground, and, in only a few short months, they would have a beautiful bush garden to hide and protect him from the Iranians. They could then sneak up under cover of the green foliage, to the embassy, where they would free the hostages.

particularly disappointing competition. In warm-ups, Randy injured a previously pulled muscle, forcing the couple to have to withdraw from the competition. Bill Koch, U.S. Olympic crosscountry team member, also suffered disappointment. Bill was unable to repeat his excellent performance of 1976 in which he won the silver medal, receiving thirteenth place in the 1980 games. Ken Reid, the heavily favored Canadian Downhill skier fell in the first ten seconds of his race destroying any chance of his placing in the competition. Overall, the Soviet and East German teams were especially strong, capturing the most medals of the 1980 games. During the games in Lake Placid, transportation was a problem encountered within the first week of competition. Spectators were often stranded in parking lots for hours, waiting for a bus to take them to an event. The transportation problem, however, was solved before the games ended.

most startling military action since Pearl Harbor. It is a very touchy situation, and should be handled as such. If America supplied the Afghan rebels with 50-pound bags of soy fertilizer, they could hold out against, and possibly even defeat, the Soviet forces. By piling the ! bags of fertilizer on top of each other, an effective barricade can be erected, protecting the rebels from a l l types of Soviet military devices. Inside the barricade, the fertilizer could be used for a beautiful green veg6table garden which could sustain the Afghans for months. 4. The Russian Threat - The threats of the Soviet Union are very real and disturbing. I see only one plausible solution. We should arm every 1000 B-52 plane with 500-pound bags of soy fertilizer each, to be dropped on the entire Soviet Union. These heavy bags would crush everything in their paths, wiping out the entire Soviet population. A big plus to this action is that Russia has no effective anti-fertilizer equipment. And, in addition, when the American forces move into Russia after the attack, they will have 8,200,000 square miles of lush vegetable garden awaiting them. This is just a brief sketch of my plans for our country. I am willing to do whatever is necessary to bring our country back to the status it once held. As you can see, my ideas are new and creative and reflect my deepest concern and love for our country's well-being. Thank you, Roger Shore

Foreign language enrollment declines in US by Leslie Megison

In 1915, 85% of all American colleges required prior instruction in a foreign language for admission. Since then, that percentage has nosedived past 34% in 1966 to a pitiful 8%today. Consequently, the national quota of high school students who study a foreign language has also plummeted. After a recent detailed study, the US President's Commission on Foreign Language and International Studies has concluded in its report released last November that the resulting lack of Americans' familiarity with foreign tongues and cultures poses a threat to

national security and US international trade. Most !American high school students know they probably won't need a foreign language for admission to the college or university of their choice. Predictably, only 15%of them elect to take language or cultural courses, and significantly fewer continue their studies after the second year, barely tasting the fundamentals. Comparitively few students who decide on a business career ever take such instruction; and this is obviously a handicap in an age where one out of every eight

jobs in agriculture and one out of every 5 jobs in industry is stongly related to international trade. The Foreign Senrice has had to drop its language requirement for recruits to keep from shortchanging itself of potentially capable people. Has IH followed the national trend in radically .decreasing foreign language enrollment? "Not really," comments Mrs. Wund, an IH French teacher. "We've [the foreign language department] lost as many kids as any other department." She feels that the decrease has been proportional to the shrinking

Underclassmen run amok during scheduling by Matt Misali Ah, scheduling! It's that time of the year again. It's almost as much fun as doing your income taxes, isn't it? It's kind of sadistic (another word to look up, freshmen) of the administration to make you choose your own courses for the next year. Scheduling is alot like telling a condemned man that he is fortunate enough to be able to pick his own means of execution. I have discovered another significant advantage of being a senior. I won't get an ulcer worrying over scheduling because . I don't have to do it. It's just great sitting back and watching all the underclassmen run amok. I find it especially satisfying watching the freshmen go into a vicious frenzy trying to get in the same classes with all of their friends, and asking more experienced sophomores and juniors things like, "Is this OK?", and, "Is English very important, or should I drop it?" But I guess the underclassmen have a right to be like that, because they have to go through alot of misery. One of their main problems is the order the homerooms go in to be scheduled. Being first is Heaven on Earth, while being last automatically makes the schedule you've worked on completely impossible. Do any of you seniors remember how religious we used to get around this time? You know, praying every day for your home-

room to be one of the first three to be scheduled? I remember last year I got so carried away I vowed that if mine were first, I would become the valedictorian. Needless to say my prayers went unanswered. My homeroon pulled sixth, so I decided to let someone else become valedictorian. That's quite an unselfish gesture on my part. Another problem is trying to figure out a schedule that works. You think you have it all worked out and you begin to congratulate yourself on your obvious genius. But you find out that the quarter course you've been dying to take, (Russian De-

mocracy of the Twentieth Century) is only available for third quarter and not fourth. You pull your hair out trying to set it right. Then when you go down to the scheduling arean, the person at the course's table tells you, "I'm sorry, that course is filled." Well, we seniors have had our share of hardships. If you students who have to schedule need any help, just ask a senior for some. But if I were you I really wouldn't trust one, because you might frind yourself in a class you don't want, like being enrolled in girls' PE although you are a boy.

sizes of incoming classes. M still has a moderate percentage of students taking a foreign language because some of them are influenced by the myth that they have to have it t o graduate, according to Mrs. Wund. Generally, students who have older siblings who took a foreign language are more likely to take the same one. Spanish seems to be more popular in the earlier stages, though more students stay with French all the way to the AP (advanced placement) level. Altough Latin and German courses have been pared down to mainly the beginning levels, the foreign language department has been enriched by IH's recent entranceintointernationalexchanges. These exchanges, which have been fairly successful so far, provide a unique and enlightening experience for the interested language student who wishes to learn more than just how to conjugate verbs in eight different tenses. For the students beginning foreign language courses, Mrs. Wund would like t o see a precourse English reveiw to brush up on basic grammar in one language before studying another. If the chore of relearning English structural rules at the same time .as learning those in another language were relieved, Mrs. Wund feels that perhaps more students would be interested in continuing on t o higher levels.

Most of the time, delegates were divided into specialized committees such as the political and security committee, the social and humanitarian committee and the economic and financial committee. All resolutions that passed committee were then sent to the General Assembly Plenary in which members from all committees participated. Rules for debate originated from Robert's Rules of Order and the U.N. rules of parliamentary procedure. The high. points of Plenary

occurred when Cuba, a delegation from Shaker Heights, Ohio, was kicked out for voting twice. During the course of the conference, delegates were exposed to a variety of speakers.

She had expected to spend perhaps an hour or two on it, but it ended up taking till 5:30 in tfee morning-leaving her two hours to get ready for school. On top of this, she wasn't paid as much

out that the commercial would o d y be aired in Texas. There are other letdowns too. "Sometimes it hurts when you don't get a job you really want, but you learn t o accept it." Vicki stressed that when a model doesn't get a job, it probably isn't her fault. The model usually just isn't what the employer wants, and there's nothing she can d o about it. Vicki hopes to keep modeling for a few years, but she plans to keep it local. Eventually, she hopes t o get in behind the scenes for a career. As a model, she has learned a lot about advertising and stage work, and these are defmite career possibilities for her. . Of course, most high school girls who model do it only as a temporary source of income until they have finished their education. But, for some, like Lette Andre, the experience could be very valuable. Lette hopes to major in fashion design at college, so after graduating, she'll be creating the fashions other models wear. She feels that it will help her t o know the field from both sides. In any case, modeling isn't in the future for most of the girls who model now. It is very limited for all but a few, and d t e r a point, age restricts the career even more. But for a few talented girls, it is a great way t o have fun and mike a little extra money.

Religious zeal thriving in youth groups by Brenda Zurbrick Institutionalized religion can develop the foundation for a sound spiritual life, and has recently been the most popular means of expressing one's faith. For some the church has the security of being one of the oldest institutions around one which gives permanence to religion and security to those who may have little in their personal lives. Yet today's youth is questioning institutionalized religion by exploring their own means of religious expression. There are many reasons for this disillusionment with structured religions. Father Snyder, of St, Anselms Church, feels that "Institutionalized anything is a pain, and the young people of today desire freedom in choosing and forming their own beliefs."

out to those who have had little experience with religion, and to ultimately join or actively participate in a religious institution. The Reverend Sitterley feels that "youth groups are in no way in competition with the church." He also feels strongly that the effectiveness of these groups rests on their spirit and enthusiasm, and the meaningful relationships within the group. The Reverend Sitterly states, "young people can relate to these meetings much more easily than religious services which they feel are 'boring' or 'out-of-touch.' " One factor determining the success \of these groups is the effectiveness of both the adult and youth leaders. Sitterly says that adult leadership can either add or detract from a religious experience. Father Snyder claims that adult leadership can have an impact because, "young people respect the experiences and testimony of adults." Despite their influence, the Reverend Sitterly feels that good youth leadership can have the most impact. "This kind of positive leadership attracts peers who would otherwise have no contact with religion. Are parents influential in structuring their child's religious development? Rabbi Kirzner, the Reverend Sitterly, and Father Snyder all agree that parents are responsible for introducing and making their children aware of different beliefs. Father Snyder feels that awareness of different religions at a young age allows the child to have good background of information upon which the child may base his opinions. Left on their own, most people won't start investigating religious possibilities until the late teens. A sound background of religious training helps a person decide what is right for him or her. Although attendance at structural religious services is down, many young people have turned to youth groups within both the church and the community. Others have turned to small Bible study groups, and some have turned inward to discover themselves. Whatever the trend, Rabbi Kirzner feels that religious participation goes in cycles, and the participation by young people at religious services will soon be increasing.

Interview

provide s pir it -

with drug-users

by Dave Johson After last year's vandalism, the administration and Board of Education approached the Student Government and the Senior Class officers with a mandate: the spirit of IH must be improved. Student Government, led by Scott Edwards and Julie Schneebeck, has made numerous contributions to the production of school spirit. According to Scott, the main thrust of SGYsefforts has been exposing the students to all the athletic teams, both boys and girls, and to the music and drama programs, thus portraying the many diversified talents of IHers. The Pep Club had trouble finding a sponsor until recently, Scott explained. "By using the Senior Class as a backer, we tried to get everyone interested, especially the new Freshman Class with our big brother, big sister program." Recently, Dr. Feltman offered to help by sponsoring the Pep Club, but both Scott and Bob Heynan (Senior Class Officer) agree that Pep Club already has a great number of members. Bob explained, "We like to think of aIl the people that come to the games as members of the Pep Club," and with the recent help of Mrs. Mashburn and Mrs. Sudbrack. IHers no have .;heir own version of the "terrible towel," red handkerchiefs. Both Scott and Bob agree that the administration, particularly Dr. Feltman and Mr. Aug, has worked extremely will with SG and the senior class. "Nowadays," Scott explained, "when we ask for a pep rally, we get it." Even the seniors with senior option are staying or coming back for the pep assemblies. Both also agree that an underlying factor to the increase in spirit has been the Pep Band. The addition of special features, such as a drum synthesizer, esectric guitars (courtesy of Andy Keefer), and even a whistler (Brad Taylor) has helped evoke spirit at the home basketball games and pep assemblies.

STUDENT X: They're just like everyone else. Sometimes I can get along better with people who don't party than with people who are into it too much.

Qualudes were great - especially when I talked to an administrator - it makes you feel really good and less inhibited. STUDENT X: Before this year, yes. Very infrequently this year, though, because I've realized I've got too much to do in one day, and if I party in the day, the day will go too slow. This year, I want to get done with what I need to and go home and then do what I want to do. I want to go to good college. I've noticed my priorities more as a result of other people.

FIoyd's 'The Wall' bitter-toned by Rod Barr Throughout the past 15 or so years, many rock bands (including Pink Floyd) have tried their hands at concept albums. Floyd's "The Wall" ranks as one of the best conceived and executed such album to date. The immediate question one asks when confronted by a concept album is, "Exadly what is the concept?" "The Wall's" "concept," or emotions, cannot be described easily in a few words. The music throughout the album almost never stops, the songs being connected by muffled talk in English accents or sound of children on a playground, among others. The tone of each song, though the music ranges from classical to horror movie music to hard rock'n'roll, is usually one of bitterness. Suggestive of this mood are the lyrics from the song "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2": "We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control, no dark sarcasm in the classroom, teachers leave the kids done, Hey teacher leave us kids alone." Those words, and those of the entire album, suggest a cynical and disapproving attitude towards modern day philosophies. The lyrics of "The Thin Ice" say it best, "If you should go skating on the thin ice of modern life ..., Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice, appers under your feet. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind, wish your fear flowing out behind you, as you claw the thin ice." The music on the album changes styles quickly, but usually not mood. The members of Floyd are phenomonal instrumentalists, especially guitarist Roger Waters who plays tasty slow leads as well as he plays the burning fast ones.

The vocals possess the usual "Floydian" qualities, (i.e., midrange lead with high-range harmonies and a sliding last note.) One major vocal difference in "The Wall" is the use of the Islington Green School choir, a group of young kids with overpowering British accents, in the song "Another Brick in the Wall, part 2." The fact that children were singing the bitter words added to the desired effect of the song and the album. "The Wall" is an album that defies a precise definition and a clear understanding, which adds to the effect of the work. But, despite its ambiguity, "The Wall" ranks as one of the best lyric and best musical albums of 1979 L

"This kind of positive leadership attracts peers who would otherwise have no contact with religion. Are parents influential in structuring their child's religious development? Rabbi Kirzner, the Reverend Sitterly, and Father Snyder all agree that parents are responsible for introducing and making their children aware of different beliefs. Father Snyder feels that awareness of different religions at a young age allows the child to have good background of information upon which the child may base his opinions. Left on their own, most people won't start investigating religious possibilities until the late teens. A sound background of religious training helps a person decide what is right for him or her. Although attendance at structural religious services is down, many young people have turned to youth groups within both the church and the community. Others have turned to small Bible study groups, and some have turned inward to discover themselves. Whatever the trend, Rabbi Kirzner feels that religious participation goes in cycles, and the participation by young people at religious services will soon be increasing.

Interview

provide s pir it -

with drug-users

by Dave Johson After last year's vandalism, the administration and Board of Education approached the Student Government and the Senior Class officers with a mandate: the spirit of IH must be improved. Student Government, led by Scott Edwards and Julie Schneebeck, has made numerous contributions to the production of school spirit. According to Scott, the main thrust of SGYsefforts has been exposing the students to all the athletic teams, both boys and girls, and to the music and drama programs, thus portraying the many diversified talents of IHers. The Pep Club had trouble finding a sponsor until recently, Scott explained. "By using the Senior Class as a backer, we tried to get everyone interested, especially the new Freshman Class with our big brother, big sister program." Recently, Dr. Feltman offered to help by sponsoring the Pep Club, but both Scott and Bob Heynan (Senior Class Officer) agree that Pep Club already has a great number of members. Bob explained, "We like to think of aIl the people that come to the games as members of the Pep Club," and with the recent help of Mrs. Mashburn and Mrs. Sudbrack. IHers no have .;heir own version of the "terrible towel," red handkerchiefs. Both Scott and Bob agree that the administration, particularly Dr. Feltman and Mr. Aug, has worked extremely will with SG and the senior class. "Nowadays," Scott explained, "when we ask for a pep rally, we get it." Even the seniors with senior option are staying or coming back for the pep assemblies. Both also agree that an underlying factor to the increase in spirit has been the Pep Band. The addition of special features, such as a drum synthesizer, esectric guitars (courtesy of Andy Keefer), and even a whistler (Brad Taylor) has helped evoke spirit at the home basketball games and pep assemblies.

STUDENT Y: Not at all. Some are really biased because they've never used it themselves - it all depends who you peers are. Some people, like me are afraid before they try the drug. STUDENT X: They're just like everyone else. Sometimes I can get along better with people who don't party than with people who are into it too much. If you make a decision to do it or not to do it, that's your decision. I don't like to be persecuted for my decisions. I don't like to be told what I should or should not do. And that's like anyone else. CHIEFTAIN: Do you think you'll continue doing drugs? STUDENT Y: Yes. I smoked pot in school. It cuts out motivation and I don't like the effect to the drug. Qualudes were great - especially when I talked to an administrator - it makes you feel really good and less inhibited. STUDENT X: Before this year, yes. Very infrequently this year, though, because I've realized I've got too much to do in one day, and if I party in the day, the day will go too slow. This year, I want to get done with what I need to and go home and then do what I want to do. I want to go to good college. I've noticed my priorities more as a result of other people. I think STUDENT Y : I find pot-users end up quitting after a while and switch to alchohol. Alot of older people go to cocaine because it's more expensive. Me, personally I'll try them just to see what happens. It can't become a habit, depending on the dntg as long as it's just tried once or twice. STUDENT X: Yes, I think so. I'd never consider using them when they become abusive. My partying won't lead to alcohol either because I'm very much against drinking.

FIoyd's 'The Wall' bitter-toned by Rod Barr Throughout the past 15 or so years, many rock bands (including Pink Floyd) have tried their hands at concept albums. Floyd's "The Wall" ranks as one of the best conceived and executed such album to date. The immediate question one asks when confronted by a concept album is, "Exadly what is the concept?" "The Wall's" "concept," or emotions, cannot be described easily in a few words. The music throughout the album almost never stops, the songs being connected by muffled talk in English accents or sound of children on a playground, among others. The tone of each song, though the music ranges from classical to horror movie music to hard rock'n'roll, is usually one of bitterness. Suggestive of this mood are the lyrics from the song "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2": "We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control, no dark sarcasm in the classroom, teachers leave the kids done, Hey teacher leave us kids alone." Those words, and those of the entire album, suggest a cynical and disapproving attitude towards modern day philosophies. The lyrics of "The Thin Ice" say it best, "If you should go skating on the thin ice of modern life ..., Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice, appers under your feet. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind, wish your fear flowing out behind you, as you claw the thin ice." The music on the album changes styles quickly, but usually not mood. The members of Floyd are phenomonal instrumentalists, especially guitarist Roger Waters who plays tasty slow leads as well as he plays the burning fast ones.

The vocals possess the usual "Floydian" qualities, (i.e., midrange lead with high-range harmonies and a sliding last note.) One major vocal difference in "The Wall" is the use of the Islington Green School choir, a group of young kids with overpowering British accents, in the song "Another Brick in the Wall, part 2." The fact that children were singing the bitter words added to the desired effect of the song and the album. "The Wall" is an album that defies a precise definition and a clear understanding, which adds to the effect of the work. But, despite its ambiguity, "The Wall" ranks as one of the best lyric and best musical albums of 1979 L

Foreign language enrollment declines in US by Leslie Megison

In 1915, 85% of all American colleges required prior instruction in a foreign language for admission. Since then, that percentage has nosedived past 34% in 1966 to a pitiful 8%today. Consequently, the national quota of high school students who study a foreign language has also plummeted. After a recent detailed study, the US President's Commission on Foreign Language and International Studies has concluded in its report released last November that the resulting lack of Americans' familiarity with foreign tongues and cultures poses a threat to

national security and US international trade. Most !American high school students know they probably won't need a foreign language for admission to the college or university of their choice. Predictably, only 15%of them elect to take language or cultural courses, and significantly fewer continue their studies after the second year, barely tasting the fundamentals. Comparitively few students who decide on a business career ever take such instruction; and this is obviously a handicap in an age where one out of every eight

jobs in agriculture and one out of every 5 jobs in industry is stongly related to international trade. The Foreign Senrice has had to drop its language requirement for recruits to keep from shortchanging itself of potentially capable people. Has IH followed the national trend in radically .decreasing foreign language enrollment? "Not really," comments Mrs. Wund, an IH French teacher. "We've [the foreign language department] lost as many kids as any other department." She feels that the decrease has been proportional to the shrinking

Underclassmen run amok during scheduling by Matt Misali Ah, scheduling! It's that time of the year again. It's almost as much fun as doing your income taxes, isn't it? It's kind of sadistic (another word to look up, freshmen) of the administration to make you choose your own courses for the next year. Scheduling is alot like telling a condemned man that he is fortunate enough to be able to pick his own means of execution. I have discovered another significant advantage of being a senior. I won't get an ulcer worrying over scheduling because . I don't have to do it. It's just great sitting back and watching all the underclassmen run amok. I find it especially satisfying watching the freshmen go into a vicious frenzy trying to get in the same classes with all of their friends, and asking more experienced sophomores and juniors things like, "Is this OK?", and, "Is English very important, or should I drop it?" But I guess the underclassmen have a right to be like that, because they have to go through alot of misery. One of their main problems is the order the homerooms go in to be scheduled. Being first is Heaven on Earth, while being last automatically makes the schedule you've worked on completely impossible. Do any of you seniors remember how religious we used to get around this time? You know, praying every day for your home-

room to be one of the first three to be scheduled? I remember last year I got so carried away I vowed that if mine were first, I would become the valedictorian. Needless to say my prayers went unanswered. My homeroon pulled sixth, so I decided to let someone else become valedictorian. That's quite an unselfish gesture on my part. Another problem is trying to figure out a schedule that works. You think you have it all worked out and you begin to congratulate yourself on your obvious genius. But you find out that the quarter course you've been dying to take, (Russian De-

mocracy of the Twentieth Century) is only available for third quarter and not fourth. You pull your hair out trying to set it right. Then when you go down to the scheduling arean, the person at the course's table tells you, "I'm sorry, that course is filled." Well, we seniors have had our share of hardships. If you students who have to schedule need any help, just ask a senior for some. But if I were you I really wouldn't trust one, because you might frind yourself in a class you don't want, like being enrolled in girls' PE although you are a boy.

sizes of incoming classes. M still has a moderate percentage of students taking a foreign language because some of them are influenced by the myth that they have to have it t o graduate, according to Mrs. Wund. Generally, students who have older siblings who took a foreign language are more likely to take the same one. Spanish seems to be more popular in the earlier stages, though more students stay with French all the way to the AP (advanced placement) level. Altough Latin and German courses have been pared down to mainly the beginning levels, the foreign language department has been enriched by IH's recent entranceintointernationalexchanges. These exchanges, which have been fairly successful so far, provide a unique and enlightening experience for the interested language student who wishes to learn more than just how to conjugate verbs in eight different tenses. For the students beginning foreign language courses, Mrs. Wund would like t o see a precourse English reveiw to brush up on basic grammar in one language before studying another. If the chore of relearning English structural rules at the same time .as learning those in another language were relieved, Mrs. Wund feels that perhaps more students would be interested in continuing on t o higher levels.

Most of the time, delegates were divided into specialized committees such as the political and security committee, the social and humanitarian committee and the economic and financial committee. All resolutions that passed committee were then sent to the General Assembly Plenary in which members from all committees participated. Rules for debate originated from Robert's Rules of Order and the U.N. rules of parliamentary procedure. The high. points of Plenary

occurred when Cuba, a delegation from Shaker Heights, Ohio, was kicked out for voting twice. During the course of the conference, delegates were exposed to a variety of speakers. Among these were the Undersecretary General of Political Affairs at the United Nations and the Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations.

as she had hoped, and it turned

like the p o s e with whom she happens to be working, and often a job just isn't what she expects. For example, several weeks ago, Vicki did a Wendy's commercial. She had expected to spend perhaps an hour or two on it, but it ended up taking till 5:30 in tfee morning-leaving her two hours to get ready for school. On top of this, she wasn't paid as much

out that the commercial would o d y be aired in Texas. There are other letdowns too. "Sometimes it hurts when you don't get a job you really want, but you learn t o accept it." Vicki stressed that when a model doesn't get a job, it probably isn't her fault. The model usually just isn't what the employer wants, and there's nothing she can d o about it. Vicki hopes to keep modeling for a few years, but she plans to keep it local. Eventually, she hopes t o get in behind the scenes for a career. As a model, she has learned a lot about advertising and stage work, and these are defmite career possibilities for her. . Of course, most high school girls who model do it only as a temporary source of income until they have finished their education. But, for some, like Lette Andre, the experience could be very valuable. Lette hopes to major in fashion design at college, so after graduating, she'll be creating the fashions other models wear. She feels that it will help her t o know the field from both sides. In any case, modeling isn't in the future for most of the girls who model now. It is very limited for all but a few, and d t e r a point, age restricts the career even more. But for a few talented girls, it is a great way t o have fun and mike a little extra money.

Soy fertilizer to solve US oreign prob by John Ries

Most people, when thinking of modeling, get images of beautiful, slender, females living @amorous lives in L.A. or New York. Yet, if this were the case, Indian Hill would have lost several beautiful, slender, females t o such cities already. While most students don't even begin t o think of employment until summer vacation rolls around, a few IH girls work all seasons as models. Granted, for teenage girls, modeling isn't quite as glamorous as it is for their coast counterparts, but it does provide a fun job as well as exciting possibilities for the future. Girls interested in modeling have basically two choices open to them. They can either work through an agency, such as John Robert Powers, as Liz Woodhouse did for several years, or they can go free-lance, as girls like Sue Bradfield and Lette , Andre have done. Many girls get started through department store teen boards,, like Shillito's or Pogue's Junior Board. Each year, boards take applications from numerous hopeful future models. Those

who are accepted have the chance to model for the department store the following year. The work is somewhat limited and consists almost entirely of fashion shows. The pay isn't the best, and the girls can't model anywhere else,' but the work provides good experience. Junior Phyllis Burnstein and senior Angie Martin are two that have worked with the department store boards. Many girls go free-lance after having worked on a team board for several years. Models who work free-lance don't have such steady employment, but they have more freedom. Since they must apply for each job, they can schedule them to fit their own needs. For example, many of Lette Andre's jobs have been working in nearby shops in lunch hour fashion shows. But, because the work is not always steady, she has found Limelight to be a big help. Limelight is something like a computer dating service for models. It keeps a portfolio on each girl, and when someone needs a model with certain qualifications, it brings the two to-

This would allow them to grow beautiful gardens r/i. vegetables, thus cutting down unnecessary vegetable spending. You're probaw asking, , ''Will this bring inflation down?" Of course it will!. The decrease of dependence on foreign countries for our vegetables would raise the GNP of our country incredibly. And the solution is so simple.

1. Iran - I feel the solution to the Iranian crisis lies in one major area. That area is the effective development of soy fertilizer against Iran. If each marine were equipped with a 5-pound bag of soy fertilizer, he could storm Tehran, spread the fertilizer on the ground, and, in only a few short months, they would have a beautiful bush garden to hide and protect him from the Iranians. They could then sneak up under cover of the green foliage, to the embassy, where they would free the hostages.

A model must be willing t o put in a lot of time with her work and be willing to listen to what photographers and fashion designers have t o tell her. She must also be very open and have a lot of patience. But, over all of these, as Lette Andre put it, "You really have t o be able t o be yourself." Girls who model seem t o get a lot out of it.

particularly disappointing competition. In warm-ups, Randy injured a previously pulled muscle, forcing the couple to have to withdraw from the competition. Bill Koch, U.S. Olympic crosscountry team member, also suffered disappointment. Bill was unable to repeat his excellent performance of 1976 in which he won the silver medal, receiving thirteenth place in the 1980 games. Ken Reid, the heavily favored Canadian Downhill skier fell in the first ten seconds of his race destroying any chance of his placing in the competition. Overall, the Soviet and East German teams were especially strong, capturing the most medals of the 1980 games. During the games in Lake Placid, transportation was a problem encountered within the first week of competition.

most startling military action since Pearl Harbor. It is a very touchy situation, and should be handled as such. If America supplied the Afghan rebels with 50-pound bags of soy fertilizer, they could hold out against, and possibly even defeat, the Soviet forces. By piling the ! bags of fertilizer on top of each other, an effective barricade can be erected, protecting the rebels from a l l types of Soviet military devices. Inside the barricade, the fertilizer could be used for a beautiful green veg6table garden which could sustain the Afghans for months. 4. The Russian Threat - The threats of the Soviet Union are very real and disturbing. I see only one plausible solution. We should arm every 1000 B-52 plane with 500-pound bags of soy fertilizer each, to be dropped on the entire Soviet Union. These heavy bags would crush everything in their paths, wiping out the entire Soviet population. A big plus to this action is that Russia has no effective anti-fertilizer equipment. And, in addition, when the American forces move into Russia after the attack, they will have 8,200,000 square miles of lush vegetable garden awaiting them. This is just a brief sketch of my plans for our country. I am willing to do whatever is necessary to bring our country back to the status it once held. As you can see, my ideas are new and creative and reflect my deepest concern and love for our country's well-being. Thank you, Roger Shore

girls end season with 8-10

by Ann Brainard The Girls' Varsity Basketball team ended their season last Friday night, with a loss to an overpowering Lakota team 59 to 25 at Middletown High School in the AAA Sectional Tournament. The Squaws held the third seeded Lakota team scoreless for the first five minutes of the game, but Lakota exploded for 8 straight points, ending the first quarter with an 8 to 5 lead. Lakota took a firm hold on the game in the second quarter, going into the locker room with a 28 to 12 lead over IH. Although Melissa Pope scored 12 points, poor outside and free throw shooting prevented the Squaws from obtaining a first

round victory in the sectional tourney, as Lakota breezed to a 59-25 victory over the struggling IH Squaws. The Squaws ended their regular season, loosing a close game to Milford 45 to 37 Thursday, Feb. 14. Milford scored early, leaving the Squaws with an 8 point defecit at the end of the first quarter. IH stayed even with the Eagles in the second quarter, trailing 25 to 17 at the half. In the third quarter the Squaws could only score four points and Milford extended their lead to 14 points with only one quarter left to play. The Squaws made a great comeback in the final quarter, getting within four

record

points of Milford, but the Eagles held on to score a 45 to 37 victory over the IH Squaws. Leading scorers for IH were Melissa Pope, scoring 21 points and Maura A'Hearn dropping in 18 points for the Squaws.

The JV Basketball Squaws fell to their third straight defeat Tuesday, Feb. 12 against Deer Park 25 t o 1 2 at Deer Park. The Wildcats took a commanding 7 to 2 lead over the Squaws in the first half, but the Squaws came back in the 2nd half to hold Deer Park to only 8 points. Despite this effort, the Squaws still suffered a 13 point loss t o the Wildcats 25 to 12. The JV Squaws have had a difficult season, lacking experience, a key ingredient for a successful team. Coach Jean Schmalstig is looking forward t o a much improved team next year.

events include technical and w~iting and extemporaneous speaking, safety posters, and the Metric 500. In extemporaneous speaking, the student has five possible topics. The judges give him one of these, and he has fifteen minutes to prepare a five minute speech on the subject. In technical speaking, the student has just one topic, upon which h e gives a fifteen minute speech. The writing competitions are 'I basically the same as English compositions, only on topics relating to industrial arts, either technical or practical. The Metric 500 is something of an advanced pinewood derby. Students design, draw, and construct their own "racers," using only the metric system. They then race their creations at the conference, thus testing their designing and finishing skills. IH will have twelve students competing in these events as part of OSIAC (Ohio Student Industrial ARts Club), as well as in the open division. This is IH's first year competing on the state level. No one is expecting a fantastic I amount of awards, but, said Mr.

Emery, "We stand a chance of bringing back a few trophies.

After judging a couple of the events on Thursday, Mr. Emery and Mr. Dupps will attend several conference meetings on Friday a n d Saturday, where they will discuss various aspects of industrial arts with other Ohio educators. Thousands of exhibits from schools all over Ohio will fill the Convention Center during all three days. Seventy-five t o a hundred commercial exhibits will also be shown, but these are open only t o teachers. In addition, several supply houses will present projects and catalogs for the teachers' benefit. But the student exhibits are open to the general public. According t o Mr. Emery, t h e best time t o come is o n Friday. He adds, "There should b e some really outstanding work. It's a worthwhile thing to see."

February 29,1980

In this year's Chieftain Issue No.4, staffers polled the student body to ascertain student attitudes toward student leaders in Student Government. In that poll, only seven percent of the student population felt that the prupose of SG was "to be a source of intellectual discus~ion." Perhaps the reason for the marginal number comes from a general misunderstanding of the term "intellectual discussion."- But, in an ideal situation, the word "intellectual" should catch the eye of every true student. In an academic environment, which a school supposedly maintains, the prime concerns of student leaders should be student concerns - intellectual concerns. The question that any Student Government evaluation includes pertains to how well SG addresses the concerns of students. What, then, really are the concerns of students? In the past SG has equated student concerns with activities and repeatedly preached the trite slogan, "Get involved." But, do most students spend most of their day worrying about the girls' varsity basketball game next Thursday or the next session of Travel Club? The answer is an obvious "no" Students spend most of their time learning - probably not in class either, but about each other - about the differences we perceive
French Caroline adapts to American speed limits

A lot needs to be done in this school to promote individuality. For instance, SG could attempt to salvage the literary magazine from financial problems by sponsoring student creative writers. SG could also hold student debates on student social issues - the draft isn't such a small concern, you know. These are just two simple suggestions that take up a few lines in a Chieftain editorial. There are many more that could be suggested. SG programs don't have to provide for the entire student body - they can apply to only a few students too. But SG members need to remember that a culturally healthy student body maintains a dynamic character, and that, after all, SG is the assembly that must lead students in the search for individuality.

football is the one sport 1 really follow," he states, "and I used to be a big Stingers' fan--until the team broke up." ~lthoughChuck can often be found watching sports, he prefers getting involved in them. He plays on the intramural basketball team, "Purple Haze," and says "Although we don't always win, really enjoy playing." However, snow sports are Chuck's real favorites. "I enjoy the snow," relayed Chuck, "I play hockey occasionally, but hitting the slopes for skiing is the best." To keep up with his cold weather nature, Chuck has decided to go north to college. Although he is not totally sure where he will go, his choices have been narrowed down to four schools in particular. Dennison, DePauw, Carlton College, and Williams College are the top possibilities. Wherever Chuck goes to college, it is certain that his collection of 72 albums will travel along with him. '4 can really get G o music," said Chuck. "I fmd that there's different music for my dif-

ferent moods." His collection ranges from jazz to dassical to rock. "I enjoy any music except country and doctors' office music. My favorites, though, are ELP and Jimi Hendrix." This was one reason why he readily agreed with the name of his basketball team. Playing the trumpet has also given Chuck a feel for music. "I've played since I was in fifth grade," he stated. "I've also been in orchestra for two years, and pep band for three." When asked why he has had such dedication to the instrument, Chuck replied, at least "I just like playing most of the time." With all of this going on in his life, it's suprising that he would have time for anything else, but he does support a local fan club. Chuck's a loyal fan of "Help me Billy," of which not much is known. Chuck wouldn't reveal . anything, but then there is the always the vossibility that he, like so many other IHers, just doesn't have any idea.

The J.V. Basketball Braves finished out their season last Friday night with a 5 5 4 3 win over Milford at IH. The team started out sluggish at the beginning of the game, allowing the Eagles to pull ahead to a 12-7 lead by the end of the first quarter. Despite their efforts to gain the lead in the second quarter the Braves went into the lbckers at halftime three points behind Milford. In the second half, however, the J.V. Braves turned the ball game around. Dave Hancher sparked the team in the third quarter, scoring ten straight points. The team continued their solid play in the fourth quarter, to maintain their previously established lead to win 5543. Leading scorers for the J.V. Braves were Dave Hancher with nineteen points, Terry Healey with fourteen points and Pete Leugers scoring eight points. "We had a real solid year,'' commented Coach West in reference to the team's 1 0 4 season in the league, a record enabling the Braves to capture second in the EHL. "We were only a couple of games away from the championship," he continued. Mr. West went on to say that there were only two disappointing factors in this year's season.

CAROLINE Cont'd from page 11

The first of these was contending with injuries in the beginning of the season. "It is very difficult going into games without key people," stated Mr.West, citing Dave Hancher's shoulder separation which kept him out o i the first five games of the season. Also a disappointing factor of this year's season was the team's free throw performance. Of their four league losses, Mr. West noted that two of them were caused by poor performance from the free throw line. "But, overall we had a really good year," concluded Coach West.

The Braves' offense started having execution problems and Deer Park bolted out to a 26-21 halftime lead. After surviving mild threats for the lead in the third quarter, Deer Park had established a 3 point lead with 1 minute left in

The IH Battling Braves emerged victorious in their first game of the Oxford AAA Tournament last night, sneaking past the Colerain Cardinals 6 1-58. With only ten seconds on the clock, Mark Gottschalk hit two free throws to put the Braves on top 59-58. Gary Freytag then sunk two more free throws to clinch the 61-58 victory. Playing before an unbelieveably rowdy crowd, the Braves established an early lead. By the end of the first quarter, the Braves led by six. As the game progressed, however, the team ran into trouble. Due to sloppy playing, the Braves gave up their lead, leaving the score 28-35 a t the half. After the half-time, the team settled down to their regular game keeping an even pace. With 1:58 left in the third quarter, however, the Battling Braves poured it on, coming to within one point of the Cardinals by the end of the quarter.

'It's Academic' team wins second straight by Jay Schloss The Indian Hill "It's Academic" team staged a come-frombehind win over St. Ursuline and Lloyd Memorial Sunday afternoon with respective scores of 610,270, and 200. The win placed IH's trio of Greg Troutman, David Johnson and Gary Freytag into the sernifinals -just two wins away from a possible city championship. Indian Hill was down by sixty points to Ursuline after the fust round, only to make up the difference by answering a l l but one of the category questions (Greg, Dave and Gary will now, no doubt, remember that blue is the color suggested by loyalty). IH furthered its lead in the packet and grab bag rounds,

dominating all late rounds. Spurred on by the cheering of spectators and the pep band, the trio finished with the extremely high score of 610. Considering that the average winner's score is about 450, this score and the last taping's score of 650 are terrific accomplishments. Sunday's taping had an informal air uncommon to most "It's Academic" matches. The utter confidence of IH seemed-t o ridicule the other teams, especially when David ,Johnson answered a passed math question with an almost mocking "Four." Twice team members disagreed on answers, shouting out different answers at the same time, but both times finally agreeing on the correct answer. The laughs of

the Ursuline fans at this confidence gradually faded into silence as IH widened its lead. This confidence may have caused the team t o get a bit cocky a t times, particularly when they answered the last question with a joking, "Dred Scott." This may need explaining: Dred Scott, the plaintiff in the famous slave trial of the 1 8 0 0 ' ~has ~ become the answer to every question that no one knew in practice. "We always used to say jackass answers in practice," said Dave, but until now, "Dred Scott" had stayed in room 206. On May 8, IH audiences will have a chance to see this game as it airs on WCET-TV 48.
