by Kurt Dusterberg The Braves dropped a 3-1 decision to the Glen Este Trojans on May 1 at Indian Hill The Braves played sloppy baseball defensively and had trouble hitting, finishing with 5 errors and only 3 hits. The Trojans scored twice in the first on line-shot iingles to center. Then, the Braves came back with one run in their first at-bat: Tod Schneebeck got on first, Matt Jones singled to center and Kip Kerr knocked in Schneebeck.

FRO (con't from p. 11) to write private thoughts "because it forces me to think for a change !" If Fro's eyes sometime appear somewhat bleary, he's probably had another late-nighter in the Chiefiain room. Currently coeditor, Fro began as a typesetter and basic peon freshman year. "I remember circling every thing I typed after the first issue," he laughs. He advanced to news editor junior year and then finally coeditor. "I was apprehensive of being editor, since my brother Dave was an editor. . .I hate to be compared to a sibling." Fro, though outwardly a serious, intellectually profound student, is a goofy hyper spaz-out behind the walls of the Chieftain room. "I dig Chiefiaiil disco breaks, and all the funky people here.:' Fro often amuses himself and his peers by drooling on his beard, jogging around the empty halls of IH late at night, "finger fighting" (ask him), and doing an imitation of a starving baby pterodactyl screaming "FEED ME!" All of Fro's bizarre hunlor probably rubbed off on him from his lovable dog Sebastian, who often needs Fro's loving care (and valium). Next year Fro will be attending Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. Cincinnati will no longer be home for Fro and his parents, as the family is moving to Chicago's North Shore this June. "But don't fret ," says Fro, "y'alls can comes up to see me anytimes y'alls want." We may just take you up on that offer, Fro!

CHIEFTAIN

The Braves didn't score another run, but Glen Este did add one in the top of the seventh to clinch the victory. The Indian Hill Varsity baseballers continued to have sluggish bats as they fell to Milford 5-1 May 2. After Milford went ahead in a 2 4 lead, the Braves threatened to vault themselves into the lead. Gary Kohls knocked in Tod Schneebeck, who had singled and move to second on Kip Kerr's second hit of the day. But, the Braves left both runners on base after the first run. Milford scored three more runs in the top of the seventh and IH could not close the gap in their final attempt. Kip Kerr took the pitching loss for the Braves. Mark Gottschalk's second consecutive shutout and a home run by Tod Schneebeck helped the Braves romp to a 5 4 lead over Madeira May 3. Gottschalk's one-hitter and the Braves' consistent hitting

LUH (con't from p. 11) spent her summer staying with a family in Caracas through Youth For Understanding (Y FU), a student exchange organization. At present, Lori is Senior Searching as a YFU worker. Luh maintains that "The best thing I got out of the Venezuaela experience was how to dance the Salsa, a pretty obscene dance, I know, but maybe that's why I like it!" Soap operas also occupy a lot of Luh's time. Every Oieftain production night, Luh runs home at three o'clock to catch her favorite show, "General Hospital." She says, "I like them first, because the people are so honest with each other; second, becaure the guys are cute; third, because you want certain people to go out and they always do. The best scene I ever watched was when Laura almost gave in to Luke at his office! Alihh! That was a great one!" Soap operas, Chieftain and Young Life aren't Luh's only activities. She's an avid seamstress, a three-year veteran of the tennis team (cocaptain her senior year), a member of Chamber Choir, a third-year "Pow-Wow"er, and of course, a partier.

snapped their 2game losing streak in the EHL. They added one run in each of the first six innings except the third. The 12-hit attack was led by Gary Kohls with 3 hits, Tod Schneebeck and Paul Brown with 2 hits each, and Gottschalk with a triple. Dave Budig drove in three runs and Tod Schneebeck continued his consistent pitching in leading the Braves to a 9-3 drubbing of Sycamore at IH May 5. The Braves started their offense by scoring three runs in the second inning. With the bases loaded, Kevin Egan layed down a suicide squeeze bunt to score Gary Kohls. Budig then knocked in Paul Brown and Mark Gottschalk. In the third and fourth, Sycamore tagged the Braves for one run in each inning to narrow the Braves' lead to 3-2. But, in the fifth inning, the Braves ran the lead to 6-2 with a clutch single by Brown and a sacrifice fly out by Schneebeck.

**********+*** "At parties, I like to watch peop!e B.S." she says. "I also like to show up wearing my hair really weird and dressed 'funkkily ."' Next year, when she's not trying to find a husband who would be willing to put up with her (only kidding, Lull), Lori will attend Indiana University with a double major in Business and Spanish. In two years, she hopes to study in Peru so that she can prepare herself for a job in Latin American business. Lori's participation in Chieftain has added a lot of spirit and spice to Chieftain life. Although she's willing to put up with thirty or forty hours of C7ziefrairz busywork each week, Luh still characterizes herself as an "easygoing procrastinator." I'inally, though, Luh has admitted the real source of her interest in Chieftain. ''I2or t!ie past nine years, I've liad a secret crush on Boss Kincaid," she claims. "I really go for bald men." For her classn~ates,the school, the Chieftain staff, her coeditor and especially Boss Kincaid, the name "Luhmuhfuhsuh" will always have a very special significance.

Matt Jones drove in 2 runs in the next inning in helping the Braves to a 9-2 lead. Sycainore could only add one run in the seventh, as the Aviators fell to defeat. For the second time of the season, the Braves defeated the Loveland Tigers by 2-0 May 6. The Braves scored t h d r first run in the bottom of the first, when Tod Schneebeck singled, moved to second on a ground out by Matt Jones, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice flyout by Gary Kohls. IH got their other run in the fifth. Kevin Egan drew a walk and moved to third on a single by Dave Budig. Schneebeck then hit a deep tlyball to center, allowing Egan t o score. Kip Kerr got the pitching win for the Braves. Earlier in the year, the Braves shutout the Tigers 6 4 a t Loveland. The Braves were eliminated in the first round of the sectionals by Princeton 9-2, May 7. The Braves gave up two runs in the first, two in the third, and three in the fourth. IH did get a little help from losing pitcher Mark Gottschalk, who belted his second homer of the year with one runner on base. The Braves closed out the 1980 season on a sour note, a i n g to Glen Este 5-2 in an away game May 8. Glen Este had moved out to a 4-0 lead before Gary Kohls ripped a triple into right center field and came home on a single by Mark Gottschalk. If1 found themselves down by four runs but narrowed th&ir deficit to three when Dave Budig's single, his second of the day, knocked in Kip Kerr. However, that was all the damage the Braves could do. The Varsity closed the season in third place a t 10-10 with an 8-6 EHL record. Tod Schneebeck was named most valuable player and Mark Gottschalk was named Gary most improved player. Kohls was named the team captain. Gottschalk led the team with a 1.20 ERA and Kohls batted -354 to lead the Braves hitters. Other players recognized for their efforts were Matt Jones and Kip Kerr.

The average Indian Hill student carries a big academic load as a freshman at the high school. Then the load decreases steadily, until the student has only three or four courses his senior year, two of which are art or the like. So where does the "academic atmosphere" come in?

student opinion

SG---o say' can you s ~ ek?a by Annette Theuring One of the most frequentlyused, trite-but-true phrases in Student Government campaign speeches has been "better relations between students and the administration." But have our elected Student Government officers and representatives lived up to their promises in this area? The fact is, a lack of communication is still a major problem in our school system. A knowledge and understanding of issues concerning school regulations, and policies and administrative decisions regarding student activities is vital to ensure a unified school body that can interact and function efficiently. More often than not. administrators and Student go^: ernment members alike are vague, faculty members are uninterested, and students are misinformed and confused. Rumors inevitably form when the facts are not clear, and the only way the facts can become clear is if communication is improved. Just who is responsible for communication within our school? In "real life,'' the press informs the public of current events and governmental affairs, while the government itself concentrates on making the laws and decisions. In a student setting, however, I feel that such specialization is unnecessary, even harmful, for it further complicates the situation. Since Student Government members, and ultimately, the administrators themselves, are the ones who know (or should know) what is going on, why not communicate directly with the students through publications specifically for this purpose? If this plan is not feasible, how

with about "press Chieftain reporters, or even more frequent Student Government student assemblies t o discuss the latest developments in pertinent issues? The need for communication methods such as these should have been obvious last month, when students were forced t o take' advantage of time allotted for campaign speeches t o ask for information about Olympic - . - Day, Musicfest, Prom activities, and other rumor-ridden, controversial topics. Ideally, of course, every studcnt would be motivated enough to go t o Student Government and Board meetings and find out information on his own. However, this idea is impractical and unrealistic, even if these meetings were announced and attendance were encouraged. In addition, while student interest and initiative is certainly commendable, it should be unnecessary. In any kind of governing situation, the leaders are responsible for informing the public about issues which will directly or indirectly affect them. In my opinion, Student Government members should take full responsibility for this task, and administrators should take a more active role in making sure students are accurately and adequately informed and comfortable with the information they have received. Up until now, Student Governmentattempted communication techniques have been limited to 5-minute homeroom extensions consisting of hurried explanations of class bake sales and orphanage trips and the like, rather than i n d e p t h discussions about important and relevant matters such as school policy

among the students, but the teachers cannot reach that goal until the students realize that learning and applying that knowledge is totally an individual prokess. It must be pointed out that we have some very individual thinkers, and we have the support of these ideas from the faculty; but these are not enough. Obviously, One can walk down the halls and listen to the impact classes have on the students-such creative topics as what to wear on Saturday, who is getting married on "General Hospital," or why Joe Jock "won't even" look at me" are necessary for even the most fleeting of conversations. Maybe it is a matter of growing up; and may it is a matter of adding some depth to what we talk about. But either way, it is a problem, because a student who's main concern is why Richard Gere got a crew C U is ~ not ready t o be an adult in our society, and most of all is not readv to cope with -greater problems that arise in the life of a responsible adult. This defiance of classroom kno.wledge might be a rebellion against what our teachers teach us. In this case, some may have the reason that what we learn in to life, about Robert Frost is not whereas whose party to attend on Saturday night is definitely a real part of life; but in the long run, what matter more-a late night Or your mind? Students need to open their eyes t o the long-range idealS of life; and to see, for a change, that maybe what we are learning in literature is, if not directly, -indirectly very important to our futures. NOW is the time for us to learn all we can for later use, but instead students are babbling, "No get me drink? no use," and forgetting about the achievements to come. We must make use of the methods that are available for our learning and keep the long-range goals in sight, as well as the short-range ones. - ,

and administrative changes. While I am not saying that such Student Government-sponsored activities are worthless, I do think that too many additional responsibilities may cause Student Government t o lose sight of its main function - representing the student body before the administration in school affairs and communicating its accomplishments to the students. In fact, if students were more aware of the accomplishments of Student Government, we might be able t o eliminate the sarcastic, ignorance-based "But what have you done?" so commonly heard around campaign time. The transition period between

school years is always a convenient and appropriate time for reform in all aspect.^ of our school system. Hopefully, our newlyelected Student Government officials will recognize the seriousness of our communication problem and will attempt to make some needed improvements for next year. A better communication problem and will attempt t o make some needed improvements for next year. A better communication system within our school will lead t o increased understanding, a more compatible relationship between students and the administration, and a more organized, comfortable environment for everyone.

Luh'spazzes out' on soaps and catterne by Peter Bessen "My spasmocity probably stems from the insecurity I felt freshman year," says Lori Davison, or "Luh,"* as she is more commonly known. For those who know Luh, her 'spasmocity' tends to occur in cycles. For instance, at the beginning of this school year, Luh would 'spaz out' with disco dancing techniques, Venezualan jokes, and imitations of Roseannerosannadanna, Diane Bohmer, Mr. Powers (in Spanish), and Mrs. Connelly. Now, however, Luh is more interested in boys, Taco Casa jukebox music and soap operas. Luh attributes her spastic nature to her caffeine addiction. "I

without two or three Diet Pepsis and a couple cups of coffee," she claims. Luh's 'spasmocity' carries over t o her Chieftain work. Any male Chieftain staffer will vouch for that. "I attack boys, because I like to shock them," explains Luh. I'm a very 'touchy-feely' . person, when you come down to it, and for those guys who are interested-I go for tall, lanky men." "It doesn't seem like it, I know, but I d o have a high set of moral values," says Luh. This set of high moral standards comes through with Lori's participation in Young Life.

by Lori Davison Like any other red-blooded American boy, senior Peter Bessen believes in "free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press (especially the Chieftain) . . .and free SEX. . .but only for trees." Peter's love for nature is apparent by his tluffy "au naturel" Afro and beard, and it is no surprise that his widely used nickname is FRO BRO (Fro for short). Fro feels best when he is cycling, sailing, or just walking in the nature that he loves and respects. The ultimate high for Peter was living in Fossil, Oregon last summer while working of an archeological dig. "The people there were extremely different from the standard Indian Hill type. . .I loved it!" "A lot of kids a t Indian Hal aren't interested in change. Either they are indifferent t o it or they feel that it is irresponsible to be different." Peter feels that "man's destiny is to live in harmony with nature. but because he lives in a human community that thrives o n synS

thetic things it is the object of that community to live in harmony with nature." This idea of harmony with nature is the basis of Fro's religious beliefs. Although his heritage is Jewish, he has his "own form of Judaism that could be branded as a type of Pantheism." As a student, Fro is concerned about our current education system. "I feel that t h e present system is processing us unjustly," he states. "Education shopid be geared more toward undefstanding oneself, and IH should not be afraid t o change the current way of educating." To initiate this change, F r o recently joined a Student Council oq Education Reform, which offers suggestions and goals t o the ~ c h o o lboard and administration.

Trackmen finish season 6th in EHL

by Richard Stradling The Indian Hill Braves' Varsity Track Team finished fifth out of five teams at the Greenhills Invitational Thursday and Friday, April 30 and May 1. Northwest won the meet with 131 points, followed by Greenhills with 110 points and Mariemont the only other EHL team, with 94 points, and Reading won 4th place with 64% points. The Braves trailed the pack in 5th place with 5 8% points. A bright spot in the Braves' loss was Dave "Bruce Jenner" Dirvin, who captured 2nd place in the pentathalon. The pentathalon consists of 5 events: the 120 yd. hurdles, 100 meter dash, the shot, the mile run and the long jump. Other strong performances were turned in by Doug Freeman, Brad Heinbach, Pierre Collet and Jeff Ertel. Tom Berry ran the 100 meter daih in 11.4 seconds, establishing the fastest time of the year, and Chris Gruber ran the 300 yd. low hurdles in 45 seconds. Coach Rob West descried the n~eetas "Lowhay" and as "being only a warmup for the EHL

meet." The Indian Hill Braves' Varsity and Junior Varsity Track teams fared rather poorly at the Eastern Hills League Meet Friday, May 9, taking 6th and 5th places. Sycamore's Varsity won the meet with 104 points, followed closely by Mariemont with 101 points. Farther back, Madeira took 3rd place scoring 71 points and Loveland took 4th with 68 followed by Milford with 64. Indian Hill just nipped Deer Park for 6th place, scoring 29 points, with the Wildcats close behind with 28. A poor Glen Este team brought up the rear unable to score a single point. After the field events Thursday, IH was in 5th place with 13 points on the strength of Tony Haskett's 1st place in the long jump. Other field event points came from Don Pappas, 5th in the high jump, Jeff Ertel, 6th in the shot put, and Dave Rhodenbaugh, 6th in the pole vault. Placing in the running events were Doug Freeman, 4th in the two mile run, Chris Gruber, 4th in the 880 yd. run, Tom Berry, 5th

The IH Nomads came through with an early try on a muffed ball by St. X's fly half. St. X penetrated the IH backfield as they came back with a quick try leaving the score 6-6. St. X again scored on a field goal and kept their 9-6 lead until late in the game. With less than 1:00 left in the game, Marty Schaefer scored on a penalty kick to tie the game. Keys to the II-Iattack this year 'were Nick Hoskin at scrum half, Marty Schaefer at fly half, Tim Tuttle at hooker, Rick Wilson at wing and "Big Mo" Mike Belangi at Prop. More importantly, however, the team owes its success to its volunteer coaches Speedy Logan and Fred Woodhouse. The Nomads compiled a 4-2-1 record this season with losses to St. X and Wyoming and wins later in the season against Wyoming, Elder and Centerville. Participating in the Mid-America Cup Tournament in Dayton, the IH team was eliminated in the semifinals by the number one team in the tournament.

The junior varsity squad was led by Dwight Poffenberger, who took 4th in the mile, Jon Groome, who took 5th in the 120 yard low hurdles, and Robert McVicker, who took 5th in the 880 yd. dash. Other Braves placing were Richard Stradling in the 2 mile run, Greg McDaniel in the long jump and the mile relay team with Robert McVicker, Mike Kearny, Ed Berry and Eric Allaben. Despite the disappointing finish, Coach Bob West is optimistic. "Of the 13 top team members, all but 4 are returning next year."

Softball Squaws finish best ever by Amy Heinz The Softball Squaws won an important game against Milford May 2,106. This win made them 4-3 in the league. A key defensive play of the game was a running catch in left field by Susan Womack to get the Squaws out of a bases-loaded 7th inning situation. The hitting leaders were all 3 for 4, and they were Mary Brainard, Susan Womack, Mary Griffith, Pam Lowenstein, and Amy H e w . The Softball Squaws lost a close game to a tough Sycamore team on May 5. The final score was 10-7. Leading hitters were Lisa Goldsmith, 3 for 4; and Susan Womack, 3 for 4. The Squaws began their winning streak with their victory over Ursuline on May 6. The Squaws won 8 6 , and Joanne Pierce went 2 for 2 and Lisa Goldsmith went 3 for 4. The softball Squaws knocked Glen Este out of first place in the EHL when they beat them by a 15-4 margin. The hitting leaders were Diane Cucinotta, 4 for 4, Pam Lowenstein, 3 for 3, Amy Heinz and Mary Brainard, 3 for 4. The Squaws had yet another victory on May 9 when they beat Loveland 136. Top batters were Pam Lowenstein, 4 for 5 ; Chris Tuke and Amy Espy, 3-- for 4.

This win placed the Squaws third in the EHL with a final league record of 6 4 . The Squaws began their competition in the AAA Hamilton County tournament last Friday, May 16. Their first game was against GreenhiUs and the Squaws won by a score of 7-0. Mary Brainard pitched her fnst shutout of the season. "Defensively, the Squaws played their best all season," said Mr. Wessinger. In 7 innings, Greenhiis only had 24 batters and 3 hits. The Squaws ended the game with a double play executed by Lisa Goldsmith, Chris Cucinotta and Diane Cuci. notta. Hitting leaders for the Squaws were Susan Womack, 3-3 and Amy Heinz 3 4 . At the Awards Banquet last Monday night, Coach Wessinger awarded Diane Cucinotta, honorary captain ;Mary Brainard, most improved player; and Chris Cucinotta, Most Valuable Player. Their overall record was 10-6, and he added that 10 victories is a school record for the softball Squaws. Coach Wessinger finished saying that the Squaws should do well in the next few seasons because most of the leading statistics were made by either freshmen or sophomores.

7 980-87 Chieftain editors announced by Douglas Jones Adequately educating the gifted child creates many problems for educators. Selecting a curriculum and creating an educational atmosphere for gifted children augments these basic problems. Nevertheless, many school systems try to provide special education for their gifted students. Indian Hill began a program three years ago to cope with this problem. Sixty students in grades 1-6 enrolled in "Discovery Class," a program which pulled them out of regular class for one day every week. The Discovery class students were selected for their intellectual 'giftedness," not for special musical, artistic or vocational talent. According to Mrs. Norita Aplin, Director of Curriculum and Pupil Services, children with their gifts can receive individual attention through independent or private study, especially in this community. Students gain entrance into the program Uvough three sources. Referrals from teachers, parents or nonclassroom teachers

are accepted, ~chievementtest scoreds in reading and math are used to rank students for entrance. Group IQ scores are also used to evaluate students. The cut+ff point is 135. "Discyvery Class" follows a three-fold curriculum. 'We are making assumptions that the intellectually gifted are able to engage in problems which tax their reasoning powers," said Mrs. Aplin. Accordingly, they spend time solving logic problems and math puzzles for "reasoning development." The students also explore topics they find interesting and can share them with other students. "They teach each other,'' said Mrs. Aplin, "by sharing what they study." The program now holds 90 students in grades 1-7 and another full-time teacher. For the 1981-82 school year, the program will extend for grades 1-8. "Discovery - class" has room for 90 students- about half as many as are eligible. The other 60-90 gifted students presently have no special program. If the figures for the lower and

omore John Ries became the first lHer ever to place

middle schools can be applied to the high school, then about 12% or 115 of the high school students could be labelled "intellectually gifted." Presently, no special program exists for the gifted in the high school, but many students take advantage of available options. Most IH students who might be labelled gifted take advantage of the Advanced Placement Programs which are available in several academic areas. Often, a few IHers take some of their courses at Xavier, Miami, or U.C. Another option,' which, according to Dr. Feltman, has not yet fully been explored is that of bringing in university teachers part-time to teach certain classes. "I think that Indian Hill is a school system which has always been aware of the need to help its gifted students," commented

Mrs. Aplin. According to her, adequately meeting the needs of its gifted students is a goal of the school district.

Beware: dog lurks Attention seniors et. ds.! cbcinnati Security Service prowls the campus nightly. This same company provides the parking lot security guard and other security services for the school. "We always employ a little extra help around this time of year," said Dr. Feltman, "to supplement our regular staff." The night security man uses a dog to help cover the whole campus. According t o Dr. Feltman, they provide "around the clock protection - that's all I'm gonna tell you."

by Kurt Dusterberg With the baseball season now over, it is time to look at some of the highlights of the Braves' season that were overlooked: 1. BEST FIELD: Sycamore. It has a grass infield and it's well kept. Really first class. 2. WORST FIELD: Beechwood. The field has one-half of a visitor bench, an outfield like concrete, and bleachers that are below the field level - not to mention the fact that they are wasp infested. But what can you expect from Beechwood? 3. BEST UNIFORM: Loveland. Orange and white is just plain boring. 4. WORST OBSTACLEAVOIDER: Kip Kerr, for running into a fence at full speed while chasing a foul ball. 5. BEST HIT: Mark Gottschalk's 400 ft. homer on opening day. "When I have kids," Gottschalk said, "I'm going to take them to Deer Park and show them how far it went." 7. MOST EXCITING MOMENT: When a Milford batter dented three different cars with foul balls in one at-bat. 8. MOST UNFORGETTABLE COMMENT: Wnen Glen Este's

'Hall o f Fame Sports Banquet' honors athletes by Kurt Dusterberg Indian Hill's first "Hall of Fame Sports Banquet" will be held Wednesday, May 28. Among the honored athletes will be all of the "Outstanding Senior Athletes of the Year" from 1955-1980. Other presentations will be made to EHL Championship teams and to the ''Tomabawk Club," for those who accumulated 1000 points on more for various athletic achievements. The special guests for the evening will include Miami University football Coach Tom Reid and newlyappointed University of Cincinnati Athletic Director, Mike McGee.

Joan Goldfarb and Chad Christine will coedit the 1980-81 Chieftain. Chad and Joan will be assisted by Rick Ruskin and Ann Helferich, the managing editors. Joan has typed for the Chieftain since her freshman year and has written news and features for the past two years. Chad has also written news and features since his sophomore year and has participated in Chieftain production. The position of managing editor was added t o allow the staff to produce an expanded paper. Rick Ruskin has worked on the Chieftain since freshman year as a production staffer and a writer. His coeditor, Ann Helferfch has worked as a typist, a reporter and production staffer since sophomore year. Bob Kindel and Jay Schloss

will handle news for the Chieftain of 1980-81. Rod Barr will run the features department and sports will be edited by Kurt Dusterberg and Richard Stradling. Another new editorship is the position of magazine editor. Terry Cross and John Ries will coedit the Chieftime magazine which will expand to contain material on more than one topic. Anne Greeno and Diane McDonald will act as production Stanage Elling will managers. manage business, and John Christine and Ed Piotrowski will be in charge of circulation. For -the. second consecutive year, Rob Zesch will be Chief Photographer. In speaking of next year's btieftain, coeditor-to-be Chad Christine remarked, "We hope t o expand the paper both in quantity and quality."

Editorial staff for next year's Chieftain is pictured from left t o right. First row: Stanage Elling, Joan Goldfarb, Teny Cross, Rob Zesch, Rick Ruskin, Ann Helferich; second row: Kurt Dusterberg, Rod B m , Bob Kindel, Jay Schloss, and Richard Stradling.

SG reviews past year's achievements by Rich Ruskin After reviewing this year's Student Government projects, Scott Edwards and Julie Schneebeck made some comments about theb successes. "I think that we've made school more enjoyable," said Scott. Julie and Scott attribute this success to more organized activities, such as SG forums, and more

clubs for activity penods. Both Scott and Julie felt that the Big Brothers and Sisters project worked tremendously well. "The pro~ect," relayea Scott, "made the Freshman feel like part of the group." Working at the Beech Acres Orphanage was another success. "I think that this is really a super service project," said Julie, "it

really generated some good feelings." As well as having many successful accomplishments, Student Government did have its problems. One problem which happened early in the year was the cancellation of the Homecoming float competion. "This was a major downfall," stated Scott. "It really hurt." Scott also feels

that cancellation of after-Prom . activites was also a failure. Another letdown, according to Scott, was the failure of the class cabinets. "It may be my fault," confessed Scott, "but I hope in t h e future they will be used." Julie, on the other hand, felt that the cabinets were good publicity for SG. The Graffiti Board, according t c Scott, "started off terribly. But now, the terrible language has gone down and it's being used for its correct puf~ose." Although Student Government was plagued with a number of failures, Scott does not feel it was due t o a lack of hard work. "The Administration slowed us down, but after about halfway through t h e year, things began to work out." Commenting of the image of Student Government, Scott said "Before, it used t o be quiet, and things were never followed through. hut people started realizmg when ideas turned into physical things." Julie, on the other hand, stated, "It's hard for me to see. I would hope it's one of respect we try really hard." The image that both Julie and her vice-president Sandy Geier, hope t o have for next year i n one even stronger than this year. 'We hope t o get more open lines with the Administration," relayed Julie, "with give and take on both sides."

Musicfesters del ishted by John Ries Musicfest '80 ended a month of various musical performances at Indian Hill last Friday. Musicfest was comprised of eight musical groups and one soloist, who performed for IH students. Organizer Dave Schonberg termed it a success due to "excellent timing" and "the representation of all types of music throughout the day." A la tradition, the afternoon began with several contemporary jazz pieces, performed by the Indian Hill Stage Band and followed by a short performance by the Chamber Choir. Then, the music ranged from the Charlie grown theme to "Purple Haze," including pieces written bv the Beetles, Eric Clapton, the Doors, and even a few original jazz pieces written by IH students. At the opposite end of the music spectrum, a new group called Secret Service entertained the Indian Hill audience. Led by Andy Baron, the group played several acid rock numbers like Hendrix and Cream. Also with this group, New Wave made its first big appearance at IH, as they played "Anarchy in the U.K.." by

Several musicians, notably the members of Secret Service, claimed that the groups did not have enough time to play, and that the entire event was rather disorganized; and they cited that :here were no auditions or prearranged settings. In any case, none of the listeners voiced any big complaints; they just sat back and listened. Other musical events at Indian Hill included a Jazz Club and Student Government sponsored concert by the U.C. Jazz Band. The band played before an almost full house in the auditorium two weeks ago last Wednesday. According to Mr. West, Jazz Club sponsor, the concert was "quite excellent." The crowd was well-behaved "except for some freshman who aren't mature enough to handle anything beyond Top Forty rock." The band played big-band and mainstream jazz, with a few jazz/iock "fusion" numbers. Noted Mr. West, "There is a real, solid audience for jazz among young people today." . .

'It's Academic' team goes under in sem i-finals honored by Bi Skidmore The IH "It's Academic" team lost in its semi-final match May 10 after missing a tie-breaking question after the game. The game ended in a 360 to 360 tie between Indian Hill and Dixie Heights, with Elder, the third team, out of contention at 190 points. But then Indian Hill lost the tie-breaking question and Dixie Heights won by default. Junior Captain Dave Johnson described the question as "deceptive. It was bound to go to the least aggressive team. Unfortunately, we were the most aggressive." In the opening round, Dixie Heights answered all of its questions correctly, ending with a score of 140 points. Indian Hill did likewise. In the category round where

the team had usually picked up points, Indian Hill lost 20 points. With seconds left, IH was up 380 to 360, but when IH answered a question incorrectly, the game was left up to the tiebreaker.

Dave Johnson summed up his feelings, saying, "I thought we were the best team of the whole competition. I guess there are good days and bad." The show will be broadcast on WCET Channel 48, May 29.

Musicfesters del ishted by John Ries Musicfest '80 ended a month of various musical performances at Indian Hill last Friday. Musicfest was comprised of eight musical groups and one soloist, who performed for IH students. Organizer Dave Schonberg termed it a success due to "excellent timing" and "the representation of all types of music throughout the day." A la tradition, the afternoon began with several contemporary jazz pieces, performed by the Indian Hill Stage Band and followed by a short performance by the Chamber Choir. Then, the music ranged from the Charlie grown theme to "Purple Haze," including pieces written bv the Beetles, Eric Clapton, the Doors, and even a few original jazz pieces written by IH students. At the opposite end of the music spectrum, a new group called Secret Service entertained the Indian Hill audience. Led by Andy Baron, the group played several acid rock numbers like Hendrix and Cream. Also with this group, New Wave made its first big appearance at IH, as they played "Anarchy in the U.K.." by

7 980-87 Chieftain editors announced by Douglas Jones Adequately educating the gifted child creates many problems for educators. Selecting a curriculum and creating an educational atmosphere for gifted children augments these basic problems. Nevertheless, many school systems try to provide special education for their gifted students. Indian Hill began a program three years ago to cope with this problem. Sixty students in grades 1-6 enrolled in "Discovery Class," a program which pulled them out of regular class for one day every week. The Discovery class students were selected for their intellectual 'giftedness," not for special musical, artistic or vocational talent. According to Mrs. Norita Aplin, Director of Curriculum and Pupil Services, children with their gifts can receive individual attention through independent or private study, especially in this community. Students gain entrance into the program Uvough three sources. Referrals from teachers, parents or nonclassroom teachers

are accepted, ~chievementtest scoreds in reading and math are used to rank students for entrance. Group IQ scores are also used to evaluate students. The cut+ff point is 135. "Discyvery Class" follows a three-fold curriculum. 'We are making assumptions that the intellectually gifted are able to engage in problems which tax their reasoning powers," said Mrs. Aplin. Accordingly, they spend time solving logic problems and math puzzles for "reasoning development." The students also explore topics they find interesting and can share them with other students. "They teach each other,'' said Mrs. Aplin, "by sharing what they study." The program now holds 90 students in grades 1-7 and another full-time teacher. For the 1981-82 school year, the program will extend for grades 1-8. "Discovery - class" has room for 90 students- about half as many as are eligible. The other 60-90 gifted students presently have no special program. If the figures for the lower and

middle schools can be applied to the high school, then about 12% or 115 of the high school students could be labelled "intellectually gifted." Presently, no special program exists for the gifted in the high school, but many students take advantage of available options. Most IH students who might be labelled gifted take advantage of the Advanced Placement Programs which are available in several academic areas. Often, a few IHers take some of their courses at Xavier, Miami, or U.C. Another option,' which, according to Dr. Feltman, has not yet fully been explored is that of bringing in university teachers part-time to teach certain classes. "I think that Indian Hill is a school system which has always been aware of the need to help its gifted students," commented

According t o Dr. Feltman, they provide "around the clock protection - that's all I'm gonna tell you."

by Kurt Dusterberg With the baseball season now over, it is time to look at some of the highlights of the Braves' season that were overlooked: 1. BEST FIELD: Sycamore. It has a grass infield and it's well kept. Really first class. 2. WORST FIELD: Beechwood. The field has one-half of a visitor bench, an outfield like concrete, and bleachers that are below the field level - not to mention the fact that they are wasp infested. But what can you expect from Beechwood? 3. BEST UNIFORM: Loveland. Orange and white is just plain boring. 4. WORST OBSTACLEAVOIDER: Kip Kerr, for running into a fence at full speed while chasing a foul ball. 5. BEST HIT: Mark Gottschalk's 400 ft. homer on opening day. "When I have kids," Gottschalk said, "I'm going to take them to Deer Park and show them how far it went." 7. MOST EXCITING MOMENT: When a Milford batter dented three different cars with foul balls in one at-bat. 8. MOST UNFORGETTABLE COMMENT: Wnen Glen Este's

SG reviews past year's achievements by Rich Ruskin After reviewing this year's Student Government projects, Scott Edwards and Julie Schneebeck made some comments about theb successes. "I think that we've made school more enjoyable," said Scott. Julie and Scott attribute this success to more organized activities, such as SG forums, and more

clubs for activity penods. Both Scott and Julie felt that the Big Brothers and Sisters project worked tremendously well. "The pro~ect," relayea Scott, "made the Freshman feel like part of the group." Working at the Beech Acres Orphanage was another success. "I think that this is really a super service project," said Julie, "it

really generated some good feelings." As well as having many successful accomplishments, Student Government did have its problems. One problem which happened early in the year was the cancellation of the Homecoming float competion. "This was a major downfall," stated Scott. "It really hurt." Scott also feels

that cancellation of after-Prom . activites was also a failure. Another letdown, according to Scott, was the failure of the class cabinets. "It may be my fault," confessed Scott, "but I hope in t h e future they will be used." Julie, on the other hand, felt that the cabinets were good publicity for SG. The Graffiti Board, according t c Scott, "started off terribly. But now, the terrible language has gone down and it's being used for its correct puf~ose." Although Student Government was plagued with a number of failures, Scott does not feel it was due t o a lack of hard work. "The Administration slowed us down, but after about halfway through t h e year, things began to work out." Commenting of the image of Student Government, Scott said "Before, it used t o be quiet, and things were never followed through. hut people started realizmg when ideas turned into physical things." Julie, on the other hand, stated, "It's hard for me to see. I would hope it's one of respect we try really hard." The image that both Julie and her vice-president Sandy Geier, hope t o have for next year i n one even stronger than this year. 'We hope t o get more open lines with the Administration," relayed Julie, "with give and take on both sides."

Trackmen finish season 6th in EHL

by Richard Stradling The Indian Hill Braves' Varsity Track Team finished fifth out of five teams at the Greenhills Invitational Thursday and Friday, April 30 and May 1. Northwest won the meet with 131 points, followed by Greenhills with 110 points and Mariemont the only other EHL team, with 94 points, and Reading won 4th place with 64% points. The Braves trailed the pack in 5th place with 5 8% points. A bright spot in the Braves' loss was Dave "Bruce Jenner" Dirvin, who captured 2nd place in the pentathalon. The pentathalon consists of 5 events: the 120 yd. hurdles, 100 meter dash, the shot, the mile run and the long jump. Other strong performances were turned in by Doug Freeman, Brad Heinbach, Pierre Collet and Jeff Ertel. Tom Berry ran the 100 meter daih in 11.4 seconds, establishing the fastest time of the year, and Chris Gruber ran the 300 yd. low hurdles in 45 seconds. Coach Rob West descried the n~eetas "Lowhay" and as "being only a warmup for the EHL

meet." The Indian Hill Braves' Varsity and Junior Varsity Track teams fared rather poorly at the Eastern Hills League Meet Friday, May 9, taking 6th and 5th places. Sycamore's Varsity won the meet with 104 points, followed closely by Mariemont with 101 points. Farther back, Madeira took 3rd place scoring 71 points and Loveland took 4th with 68 followed by Milford with 64. Indian Hill just nipped Deer Park for 6th place, scoring 29 points, with the Wildcats close behind with 28. A poor Glen Este team brought up the rear unable to score a single point. After the field events Thursday, IH was in 5th place with 13 points on the strength of Tony Haskett's 1st place in the long jump. Other field event points came from Don Pappas, 5th in the high jump, Jeff Ertel, 6th in the shot put, and Dave Rhodenbaugh, 6th in the pole vault. Placing in the running events were Doug Freeman, 4th in the two mile run, Chris Gruber, 4th in the 880 yd. run, Tom Berry, 5th

Rugby Nomads finish with four wins by Stuart Adams The Indian Hill Rugby Club finished the season last Sunday with a 9-9 tie against a tough St. Xavier team.

Eddie Camardo performs his rugby ability for the IH Nomads.

The IH Nomads came through with an early try on a muffed ball by St. X's fly half. St. X penetrated the IH backfield as they came back with a quick try leaving the score 6-6. St. X again scored on a field goal and kept their 9-6 lead until late in the game. With less than 1:00 left in the game, Marty Schaefer scored on a penalty kick to tie the game. Keys to the II-Iattack this year 'were Nick Hoskin at scrum half, Marty Schaefer at fly half, Tim Tuttle at hooker, Rick Wilson at wing and "Big Mo" Mike Belangi at Prop. More importantly, however, the team owes its success to its volunteer coaches Speedy Logan and Fred Woodhouse. The Nomads compiled a 4-2-1 record this season with losses to St. X and Wyoming and wins later in the season against Wyoming, Elder and Centerville. Participating in the Mid-America Cup Tournament in Dayton, the IH team was eliminated in the semifinals by the number one team in the tournament.

&I the 22'0 yd. dash, and ~ a v e Dirvin, 5th in the 300 meter low hurdles. The 440 yd. relay team also placed well, finishing 4th. The mile relay team finished 6th. The junior varsity squad was led by Dwight Poffenberger, who took 4th in the mile, Jon Groome, who took 5th in the 120 yard low hurdles, and Robert McVicker, who took 5th in the 880 yd. dash. Other Braves placing were Richard Stradling in the 2 mile run, Greg McDaniel in the long jump and the mile relay team with Robert McVicker, Mike Kearny, Ed Berry and Eric Allaben. Despite the disappointing finish, Coach Bob West is optimistic. "Of the 13 top team members, all but 4 are returning next year."

Aqua-Squaws

place

fourth in state by Kama Brockman The Indian Hill High School Aqua-Squaws came in 4th in the state swimming meet held May 16 and 17 at Ohio State University. Sue Drake posted an outstanding swim in the 500 yard freestyle with a 4th place finish. The 400 freestyle relay of Betsy Weller, Sue Drake, Laura Husty and Diane Remmel swam a 3 :44 :00 to capture 3rd place in that event.

Softball Squaws finish best ever by Amy Heinz The Softball Squaws won an important game against Milford May 2,106. This win made them 4-3 in the league. A key defensive play of the game was a running catch in left field by Susan Womack to get the Squaws out of a bases-loaded 7th inning situation. The hitting leaders were all 3 for 4, and they were Mary Brainard, Susan Womack, Mary Griffith, Pam Lowenstein, and Amy H e w . The Softball Squaws lost a close game to a tough Sycamore team on May 5. The final score was 10-7. Leading hitters were Lisa Goldsmith, 3 for 4; and Susan Womack, 3 for 4. The Squaws began their winning streak with their victory over Ursuline on May 6. The Squaws won 8 6 , and Joanne Pierce went 2 for 2 and Lisa Goldsmith went 3 for 4. The softball Squaws knocked Glen Este out of first place in the EHL when they beat them by a 15-4 margin. The hitting leaders were Diane Cucinotta, 4 for 4, Pam Lowenstein, 3 for 3, Amy Heinz and Mary Brainard, 3 for 4. The Squaws had yet another victory on May 9 when they beat Loveland 136. Top batters were Pam Lowenstein, 4 for 5 ; Chris Tuke and Amy Espy, 3-- for 4.

This win placed the Squaws third in the EHL with a final league record of 6 4 . The Squaws began their competition in the AAA Hamilton County tournament last Friday, May 16. Their first game was against GreenhiUs and the Squaws won by a score of 7-0. Mary Brainard pitched her fnst shutout of the season. "Defensively, the Squaws played their best all season," said Mr. Wessinger. In 7 innings, Greenhiis only had 24 batters and 3 hits. The Squaws ended the game with a double play executed by Lisa Goldsmith, Chris Cucinotta and Diane Cuci. notta. Hitting leaders for the Squaws were Susan Womack, 3-3 and Amy Heinz 3 4 . At the Awards Banquet last Monday night, Coach Wessinger awarded Diane Cucinotta, honorary captain ;Mary Brainard, most improved player; and Chris Cucinotta, Most Valuable Player. Their overall record was 10-6, and he added that 10 victories is a school record for the softball Squaws. Coach Wessinger finished saying that the Squaws should do well in the next few seasons because most of the leading statistics were made by either freshmen or sophomores.

The average Indian Hill student carries a big academic load as a freshman at the high school. Then the load decreases steadily, until the student has only three or four courses his senior year, two of which are art or the like. So where does the "academic atmosphere" come in? Schools are suppposed t o be famous for their encouragement of free thinking and creativity, but where is it at IH? Granted, we are fortuna;; enough to have teachers that strive for creativity -

student opinion

SG---o say' can you s ~ ek?a by Annette Theuring One of the most frequentlyused, trite-but-true phrases in Student Government campaign speeches has been "better relations between students and the administration." But have our elected Student Government officers and representatives lived up to their promises in this area? The fact is, a lack of communication is still a major problem in our school system. A knowledge and understanding of issues concerning school regulations, and policies and administrative decisions regarding student activities is vital to ensure a unified school body that can interact and function efficiently. More often than not. administrators and Student go^: ernment members alike are vague, faculty members are uninterested, and students are misinformed and confused. Rumors inevitably form when the facts are not clear, and the only way the facts can become clear is if communication is improved. Just who is responsible for communication within our school? In "real life,'' the press informs the public of current events and governmental affairs, while the government itself concentrates on making the laws and decisions. In a student setting, however, I feel that such specialization is unnecessary, even harmful, for it further complicates the situation. Since Student Government members, and ultimately, the administrators themselves, are the ones who know (or should know) what is going on, why not communicate directly with the students through publications specifically for this purpose? If this plan is not feasible, how

with about "press Chieftain reporters, or even more frequent Student Government student assemblies t o discuss the latest developments in pertinent issues? The need for communication methods such as these should have been obvious last month, when students were forced t o take' advantage of time allotted for campaign speeches t o ask for information about Olympic - . - Day, Musicfest, Prom activities, and other rumor-ridden, controversial topics. Ideally, of course, every studcnt would be motivated enough to go t o Student Government and Board meetings and find out information on his own. However, this idea is impractical and unrealistic, even if these meetings were announced and attendance were encouraged. In addition, while student interest and initiative is certainly commendable, it should be unnecessary. In any kind of governing situation, the leaders are responsible for informing the public about issues which will directly or indirectly affect them. In my opinion, Student Government members should take full responsibility for this task, and administrators should take a more active role in making sure students are accurately and adequately informed and comfortable with the information they have received. Up until now, Student Governmentattempted communication techniques have been limited to 5-minute homeroom extensions consisting of hurried explanations of class bake sales and orphanage trips and the like, rather than i n d e p t h discussions about important and relevant matters such as school policy

among the students, but the teachers cannot reach that goal until the students realize that learning and applying that knowledge is totally an individual prokess. It must be pointed out that we have some very individual thinkers, and we have the support of these ideas from the faculty; but these are not enough. Obviously, One can walk down the halls and listen to the impact classes have on the students-such creative topics as what to wear on Saturday, who is getting married on "General Hospital," or why Joe Jock "won't even" look at me" are necessary for even the most fleeting of conversations. Maybe it is a matter of growing up; and may it is a matter of adding some depth to what we talk about. But either way, it is a problem, because a student who's main concern is why Richard Gere got a crew C U is ~ not ready t o be an adult in our society, and most of all is not readv to cope with -greater problems that arise in the life of a responsible adult. This defiance of classroom kno.wledge might be a rebellion against what our teachers teach us. In this case, some may have the reason that what we learn in to life, about Robert Frost is not whereas whose party to attend on Saturday night is definitely a real part of life; but in the long run, what matter more-a late night Or your mind? Students need to open their eyes t o the long-range idealS of life; and to see, for a change, that maybe what we are learning in literature is, if not directly, -indirectly very important to our futures. NOW is the time for us to learn all we can for later use, but instead students are babbling, "No get me drink? no use," and forgetting about the achievements to come. We must make use of the methods that are available for our learning and keep the long-range goals in sight, as well as the short-range ones. - ,

and administrative changes. While I am not saying that such Student Government-sponsored activities are worthless, I do think that too many additional responsibilities may cause Student Government t o lose sight of its main function - representing the student body before the administration in school affairs and communicating its accomplishments to the students. In fact, if students were more aware of the accomplishments of Student Government, we might be able t o eliminate the sarcastic, ignorance-based "But what have you done?" so commonly heard around campaign time. The transition period between

school years is always a convenient and appropriate time for reform in all aspect.^ of our school system. Hopefully, our newlyelected Student Government officials will recognize the seriousness of our communication problem and will attempt to make some needed improvements for next year. A better communication problem and will attempt t o make some needed improvements for next year. A better communication system within our school will lead t o increased understanding, a more compatible relationship between students and the administration, and a more organized, comfortable environment for everyone.

Luh'spazzes out' on soaps and catterne by Peter Bessen "My spasmocity probably stems from the insecurity I felt freshman year," says Lori Davison, or "Luh,"* as she is more commonly known. For those who know Luh, her 'spasmocity' tends to occur in cycles. For instance, at the beginning of this school year, Luh would 'spaz out' with disco dancing techniques, Venezualan jokes, and imitations of Roseannerosannadanna, Diane Bohmer, Mr. Powers (in Spanish), and Mrs. Connelly. Now, however, Luh is more interested in boys, Taco Casa jukebox music and soap operas. Luh attributes her spastic nature to her caffeine addiction. "I

without two or three Diet Pepsis and a couple cups of coffee," she claims. Luh's 'spasmocity' carries over t o her Chieftain work. Any male Chieftain staffer will vouch for that. "I attack boys, because I like to shock them," explains Luh. I'm a very 'touchy-feely' . person, when you come down to it, and for those guys who are interested-I go for tall, lanky men." "It doesn't seem like it, I know, but I d o have a high set of moral values," says Luh. This set of high moral standards comes through with Lori's participation in Young Life.

Peter preaches pantheism, poethics a n d pubescence

Fro as a baby spaz, horsey boy, herbo-sexual and weed-boy.

by Lori Davison Like any other red-blooded American boy, senior Peter Bessen believes in "free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press (especially the Chieftain) . . .and free SEX. . .but only for trees." Peter's love for nature is apparent by his tluffy "au naturel" Afro and beard, and it is no surprise that his widely used nickname is FRO BRO (Fro for short). Fro feels best when he is cycling, sailing, or just walking in the nature that he loves and respects. The ultimate high for Peter was living in Fossil, Oregon last summer while working of an archeological dig. "The people there were extremely different from the standard Indian Hill type. . .I loved it!" "A lot of kids a t Indian Hal aren't interested in change. Either they are indifferent t o it or they feel that it is irresponsible to be different." Peter feels that "man's destiny is to live in harmony with nature. but because he lives in a human community that thrives o n synS

thetic things it is the object of that community to live in harmony with nature." This idea of harmony with nature is the basis of Fro's religious beliefs. Although his heritage is Jewish, he has his "own form of Judaism that could be branded as a type of Pantheism." As a student, Fro is concerned about our current education system. "I feel that t h e present system is processing us unjustly," he states. "Education shopid be geared more toward undefstanding oneself, and IH should not be afraid t o change the current way of educating." To initiate this change, F r o recently joined a Student Council oq Education Reform, which offers suggestions and goals t o the ~ c h o o lboard and administration. Ironically though, Peter has always acheived high academic honors and is valedictorian of his class. Fro's favorite passion next t o trees ("the limbs especially") is writing. He has won several honors for his Poetry but prefers . .

by Kurt Dusterberg The Braves dropped a 3-1 decision to the Glen Este Trojans on May 1 at Indian Hill The Braves played sloppy baseball defensively and had trouble hitting, finishing with 5 errors and only 3 hits. The Trojans scored twice in the first on line-shot iingles to center. Then, the Braves came back with one run in their first at-bat: Tod Schneebeck got on first, Matt Jones singled to center and Kip Kerr knocked in Schneebeck.

FRO (con't from p. 11) to write private thoughts "because it forces me to think for a change !" If Fro's eyes sometime appear somewhat bleary, he's probably had another late-nighter in the Chiefiain room. Currently coeditor, Fro began as a typesetter and basic peon freshman year. "I remember circling every thing I typed after the first issue," he laughs. He advanced to news editor junior year and then finally coeditor. "I was apprehensive of being editor, since my brother Dave was an editor. . .I hate to be compared to a sibling." Fro, though outwardly a serious, intellectually profound student, is a goofy hyper spaz-out behind the walls of the Chieftain room. "I dig Chiefiaiil disco breaks, and all the funky people here.:' Fro often amuses himself and his peers by drooling on his beard, jogging around the empty halls of IH late at night, "finger fighting" (ask him), and doing an imitation of a starving baby pterodactyl screaming "FEED ME!" All of Fro's bizarre hunlor probably rubbed off on him from his lovable dog Sebastian, who often needs Fro's loving care (and valium). Next year Fro will be attending Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. Cincinnati will no longer be home for Fro and his parents, as the family is moving to Chicago's North Shore this June. "But don't fret ," says Fro, "y'alls can comes up to see me anytimes y'alls want." We may just take you up on that offer, Fro!

The Braves didn't score another run, but Glen Este did add one in the top of the seventh to clinch the victory. The Indian Hill Varsity baseballers continued to have sluggish bats as they fell to Milford 5-1 May 2. After Milford went ahead in a 2 4 lead, the Braves threatened to vault themselves into the lead. Gary Kohls knocked in Tod Schneebeck, who had singled and move to second on Kip Kerr's second hit of the day. But, the Braves left both runners on base after the first run. Milford scored three more runs in the top of the seventh and IH could not close the gap in their final attempt. Kip Kerr took the pitching loss for the Braves. Mark Gottschalk's second consecutive shutout and a home run by Tod Schneebeck helped the Braves romp to a 5 4 lead over Madeira May 3. Gottschalk's one-hitter and the Braves' consistent hitting

LUH (con't from p. 11) spent her summer staying with a family in Caracas through Youth For Understanding (Y FU), a student exchange organization. At present, Lori is Senior Searching as a YFU worker. Luh maintains that "The best thing I got out of the Venezuaela experience was how to dance the Salsa, a pretty obscene dance, I know, but maybe that's why I like it!" Soap operas also occupy a lot of Luh's time. Every Oieftain production night, Luh runs home at three o'clock to catch her favorite show, "General Hospital." She says, "I like them first, because the people are so honest with each other; second, becaure the guys are cute; third, because you want certain people to go out and they always do. The best scene I ever watched was when Laura almost gave in to Luke at his office! Alihh! That was a great one!" Soap operas, Chieftain and Young Life aren't Luh's only activities.

The 12-hit attack was led by Gary Kohls with 3 hits, Tod Schneebeck and Paul Brown with 2 hits each, and Gottschalk with a triple. Dave Budig drove in three runs and Tod Schneebeck continued his consistent pitching in leading the Braves to a 9-3 drubbing of Sycamore at IH May 5. The Braves started their offense by scoring three runs in the second inning. With the bases loaded, Kevin Egan layed down a suicide squeeze bunt to score Gary Kohls. Budig then knocked in Paul Brown and Mark Gottschalk. In the third and fourth, Sycamore tagged the Braves for one run in each inning to narrow the Braves' lead to 3-2. But, in the fifth inning, the Braves ran the lead to 6-2 with a clutch single by Brown and a sacrifice fly out by Schneebeck.

For the second time of the season, the Braves defeated the Loveland Tigers by 2-0 May 6. The Braves scored t h d r first run in the bottom of the first, when Tod Schneebeck singled, moved to second on a ground out by Matt Jones, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice flyout by Gary Kohls.

The Braves were eliminated in the first round of the sectionals by Princeton 9-2, May 7. The Braves gave up two runs in the first, two in the third, and three in the fourth. IH did get a little help from losing pitcher Mark Gottschalk, who belted his second homer of the year with one runner on base. The Braves closed out the 1980 season on a sour note, a i n g to Glen Este 5-2 in an away game May 8. Glen Este had moved out to a 4-0 lead before Gary Kohls ripped a triple into right center field and came home on a single by Mark Gottschalk. If1 found themselves down by four runs but narrowed th&ir deficit to three when Dave Budig's single, his second of the day, knocked in Kip Kerr. However, that was all the damage the Braves could do.
