by Stephen Fryxen Seven Indian Hill seniors were recently honored as National Merit semi-finalists. Mary Chalmers, John Diamant, Eric Fryxell, Sandy Geier, Joe Nicolas, Sue Roschke and Annette Theuring all scored highly on the PSAT/ NMSQT tests, which qualified them for this distinction. Over one million students, enrolled in nearly 18,000 secondary schools nationwide, entered 1981 Merit Program. In order to be considered for this program, a student must take the PSAT/ NMSQT test as a junior. Although some seniors are still undetermined about what college they wish to attend and their future major, many of the semifinalists have definite interests. Eric Fryxell looks towards the East for fulffiment of a major in biology. Mary Chalmers has set her sights on either Yale or Brown with a possible major in political

science. Sandy Geier hopes to major in either pre-business or prelaw at either Stanford or Dartmouth. Annette Theuring would like to attend either New Y ork University or Northwestern University, where she would explore interests in journalism. Both John Diarnant and Sue Roschke are undecided on colleges. However, John leans heavily towards the field of computer sciences, whereas Sue favors behavioral sciences. Joe Nicolas joins Sue and John in having "no idea" as to which college he would like to attend. All the semi-finalists aspire to become finalists. To attain this honor, they must write a brief selfdescription, as well as indicate the past honors they have receieved and the organizations in which they have participated. Furthermore, each applicant must obtain a recommendation from Dr. Feltman.

by Joe Nicolas The selection committee of drama club has chosen the cast for the upcoming children's play, Heidi. Tryouts were held the week of September 8, under the direction of sponsor Miss Berwanger, Miss Selzer and a few student officers. After school Monday the final cast list was decided, including Stephanie Pottee in lead role, and Paul Baker, Cathy Fields, Sharon Harrington, John Lilly , Susan Savage and Chris Schmalz in supporting roles, who will be helped by stage manager Julie Mauk and student director Dan Dusterberg. "There were a lot of nervous people inside," said Nancy Neu afterwards, referring to the difficult decision being made. Heidi is the story of a young girl who is brought up by her

grandfather 011 the Alps, until her aunt wants to raise ner in t h ~ city. y There, Heidi meets her cousin, who is crippled, and whom she takes to her grandfather's mountain to learn to walk. The play is four weeks away with performances the third week in October. The cast is excited, and they hope this will be a very successful production. The selection of the cast is, however, just the beginning of a dramatic production. Backstage workers have yet to construct, design, and paint the sets; and crews on publicity, costume, makeup, prop, special effects, stage hands, and the house managing crew, which takes care of the distribution of programs at the door, must put in much hard work before the production can be complete.

Competition has always been a part oi American life, striving for success is reflected in American sports, business, politics, and especially its character of thepeople. The presence of this rivalry in school retards personal growth and learning. For instance, students often expect or get a "good grade" on a given test regardless of their comprehension of the material. For some, cheating is the answer to a "successful" high school career, but this concept of "success" hinders personal growth and academic accomplishment. This rivalry also causes unnecessary friction between students, each trying t o get the highest grade or to be one of the few with a 4.0. For those who are not able t o win the "school game" a feeling of inferiority and failure often occur, not because they learned less, but because they got a worse grade. These students then become apathetic towards school in general. This kind of competition also affects studentteacher relationships, because students see teachers as rivals giving them difficult tests and homework, in order to trick them; and the result is poor class attitude and a hesitance to ask a teacher for extra help. This rivalry amongst students is the product of many influences - the grading system, the Horatio Alger syndrome, and pressure from parents, just to mention a few - but it is not necessary to a fulfilling education. What is more important is that we students extract from our classes as much as we can. School should present an environment of cooperation and learning, instead of fierce competition.

by Andy Baron Don Pappas has done a variety of things in his number of years at Indian Hill - yet he doesn't want anyone to know it. If you want the inside scoop on Don Pappas, this is the place to find it. In the beginning, Don Pappas was born. Now, as we skip over the years, we find Don Pappas at i Indian Hill. Don was a straight-A ' student (and still is) who disliked his teachers (and stiU does). Telling me of his exploits, he points out not only was he strong academically, but he also was engaged in wrestling and track. Asked if he would continue in these athletic endeavors, he succintly replied, "Yeah." Don also has a wealth of musical talent. Although he played in the IH Marching Band for two years and plays the piano, Don excels at guitar. His taste in music is steeped in late sixties rock. His favorites are artists like Hendrix, Cream, old Stones, and John Lennon; although Don is quick to add that he likes Jackson Browne and John-Cougar also. Asked I

I

about the 19ck groups that he has played in (especially of the fated Secret Service), Don says, "Everybody wanted to hit each other (and sometimes did), which T thought was great fun." Alrhough divergent tastes in music broke up the band, Don adds, "We broke up when we were just showing signs of improvement." Don was president of his sophomore class. However, Don didn't like the presence of chartreuse and bright pink sweaters so it was not exactly a happy experience for him. "1 don't know," says Don, "the Preps don't infuriate me as much as they used to." When this reporter asked Don what his future plans will be, Don (a NHS member) replied that he will definitely go to college but isn't sure of his major. To sum up this inadequate biography of Don Pappas (I'm writing the book), he was asked to describe his personality. "I don't have a personality now give me a week." Intelligent answer, Don.

ers sports by Phynis Burstein Melissa Pope can usually be found catching, shooting, throwing, hitting or chasing balls of various shapes and sizes, up a basketball court, down a field, or around a golf course. Saying Melissa is an athlete is an understatement, and even calling her an dl around athlete is putting it mildly. Melissa feels "at home" with almost every sport. Melissa's many awards and honors further prove her athletic ability. In fact, Melissa has won both the MVP and MIP in basketball, track, and golf more than once. Melissa feels proud of each award she has won, but, "the 'award I'm the proudest of is the Most Outstanding Player at the EHL track meet, which is given t o the girl with the most combined points." Although Melissa excells in many sports, she concludes, after much thought, "1 guess basketball and track are my favorites, but I can't choose between the two." However, Melissa feels that she will soon have to choose between the two; "I'd like t o either play basketball or run track at college, but not both. I don't think I

could handle academics and a lot ' of sports." Concerning her college plans, Melissa is considering an offer from Westlane t o run track, but Bowling Green and Ball State also interest Melissa. In her spare time, Melissa enjoys many activites, most of which are sports-related. She particularly likes swimming, water and snow skiing, golf, and tennis. When not playing sports, Melissa always finds time to listen to music, which she says she "can't live .without." Melissa spends much time with her family. As one of six children, she relates, "I like big farnilies, especially when we get together on holidays and special occassions." Fortunately ,Melissa shares her love of sports with her family, and she plays golf and a little tennis with her dad and brothers. It is evident that Melissa Pope's accomplishments took a lot of time and hard work. Yet, despite the work, Melissa says, with much enthusiasm, "I really enjoy all sports." Melissa feels that the reward of reaching her goals is worth the effort.

Goals by Jeff Graham and Dave Rhodenbaugh carried the

Consecutive victories help JV Footballers to fast start by John Lilly The Junior Varsity Football Braves lost to host Greenhills 22-0 in their first regular season game Saturday, August 30. The first Greenhills score came in the first quarter, after a bad snap on an IH punt. The Pioneers capitalized on their field position and scored on a 17-yard end run. The extra point attempt was unsuccessful. A 23-yard pass play led to Greenhills' second touchdown, followed by a two-point conversion early in the second quarter to catapult the Pioneers into a 14-point lead. After a series of offensive mistakes on the part of the Braves late in the second quarter, the home team scored again. A two point conversion raised the Pioneers' advantage to 22 points. A third quarter touchdown and extra point vaulted the Braves to a 7-6 victory over the Finneytown Wildcats, September 8. Finneytown scored first after a 27-yard pass play that took the Wildcats to their own 45. A breakaway 55-yard run gave Finneytown their only touchdown, but the Braves thwarted the conversion attempt. The Wildcats threatened in the second quarter, driving IH back to its own 5-yard line before the Braves' defense could reverse the tide. The third quarter opened with the IH defense recovering a Wild-

cat fumble on the Finneytown 22. A crucial first down by Steve Walker brought the Braves to the 2-yard line. Finally, Braves' quarterback Jim Arnold rammed in for the touchdown, and Mike Kearney kicked the decisive extra point to win it for Indian Hill. "The guys were a little gunshy last week," said Coach Stacey, "but this week they came t o play football." Defensive play by Steve walker highlighted the JV Braves' 13-6 victory at Mariemont last Saturday. Walker's three interceptions led the Indian Hill defense and helped the Braves, now 2-1, to defeat the Warriors. A Warrior fumble on a punt return in the first quarter gave the Braves a fitst down on the Mariemont 30. IH quarterback Jim Arnold then ran 23 yards in two plays to get the first Brave touchdown. Mike Kearney's extra point attempt was unsuccessful. The only Mariemont score was set up by an IH fumble in the third quarter. The Mariemont drive began on the 50 and was aided by a facemask call against the Braves. A 20-yard pass play tied the game at six, but the Warriors couldn't make the two-point conversion. Another Mariemont-fumbled punt set up Todd Grant's winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Mike Kearney's extra point kick brought the tally of the IH victory up to 13-6.

Mr. Arnold points out the true vWues of American histoy.

by Rick Ruskin Mr. Arnold's three American history classes will be trying something new this year, in order to investigate a more modem aspect of the class. The three classes, totalling approximately seventy students, wiU be writing to famous people who have had an effect upon America's history. Their goal is to receive responses with autographs, as well ab pictures. The letters were all sent out last Friday, September 12. As the responses return, each student will have to tell about his respective person. The students must also write a short biography about the person. "It's widely interpreted history," said Mr. Arnold, '%ut it's a change of entertainment, and the kids are really getting fired up about it."

'Widely interpreted" is a very good description of the project. Students have written politicians such as Gerald Ford and Henry Kissinger. On the other hand, they have also written celebritie~~ "Pete Townshend and Johnny Carson, for instance, have affee ted American history through entertainment," stated Mr. Anold. 'We're hoping to get r lot of responses," Mr. Arnold said, '%but in- past years when we've done this, we've only gotten about ffity percent back." When the responses come, the students have the option of keeping the autographs, but they are mcouraged to donate them to the school. "What we hope to d o with them," relayed Mr. Arnold, "is frame them and hang them all in the hibrary for everyone to enjoy."

Florida or bust! by Derek White It amazes me how seniors are already planning for their spring break. Now I have nothing against going to Ft. Lauderdale; in fact, I wish 1 could go there instead of spending a week in Peoria, Kansas, visiting my grandmother. Yet it still seems a bit early to begin planning for a vacation seven months away. It's kind of funny how we'll plan so far ahead for a vacation, but wait until the night before it's due to write Mr. Powers' position paper. Furthermore, 1 love listening to seniors discussing their upcoming vacation. For examplc, I heard the following dialogue bctween two senior girls last week:

GIRL X:

"Hey, girl Y, what's

up?" GIRL Y:

"Not

much.

Hey,

have you made your reservations in Lauderdale, yet?" GIRL X: "I sure have, Y, and we're staying at the Sweetheart Sleeze Motel - that's on the strip!" GIRL Y: "Really! That's great! 'Cause we're staying at the Sunkist Motel right down the road!" GIRL X: "Our room even overlooks the parking lot." GIRL Y: "That's nothing; our room overlooks the city dump!" GIRL X: 'The dump! Oh, you must have gotten a suite!" The conversation continued for a long time, and we now pick it up again as Girl Y asks, "How many people arc you going down with, X? GIRL X: "Well, we're going to drive down with twenty-five, but

Cecilie Bedsvaag - "I'd like t o be in Paris with lots of expelllhre shops buying everything without thinking of money."

Wd, painting."

Then the girls start talking about what and where they are going to eat: GIRLX: "We'rc going to have so much fun, and I know where the White Castle is, so we don't have to spend much on food." GIRL Y: Oh, X, I hate to disappoint you, but I'm having my

on, the album ranges in subject matter from media exploitation and manufactured pleasure ("Natural's Not .In It," "I found that Essence Rare") to total alientation ("At Home He's a Tourist"). However, a particularly ominous track can be found near the end of side two called "5:45." This song illustrates especially , well the callousness of television. A sample is 'Watch new blood on the 18-inch screen / The corpse is a new personality." The song then closes with the words "Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment" shouted over and over in a frenzy. The last song of the album, "Anthrax," is truly startling. It starts off with an enormous amount of Hendrix-style feedback, closing with the words "Love will get you like a case of anthrax, and that's something I don't want to catch." The "Gang of Four's" fizst release, Entertainment, is a fine debut album. However, the name could be misleading; the album is so much more than its title may suggest.

GIRL Y: "We only have eighr teen sleeping in our ,room, because the rooms overlooking the dump are a little smaller than the others, but you can't have everything!"

by Andy Baron The "Gang of Four," one of England's latest exports, has recently released their debut album, Entertainment . Their music cannot be labeled punk, new wave, nor can it be placed in any specific category. What the "Gang of Four" has done is redefine rock music, creating something new and unique. One outstanding feature of the album is the immensely bright and rhythmic guitar played by Andy Gill. Gill's guitar doesn't play along with the rhythm section (drummer Hugo Burnham and bass-player Dave Allen) as much as it bounces off of it. Normally, the result would be extremely dissonant music, but the group has such a superb sense of timing that the listener feels sucked into the beat. Fortunately, the lyrics are just as great as the music. Vocalist Jon King has an exceptionally clear voice; so if you don't enjoy looking at a lyric sheet, you don't have to. The album starts with the song "Ether," an inflections opener about false expectations and governmental lies. From there

And so, the conversations go on and on, hoping t o make those seven months go a little faster. Yet some people won't be going to Florida, and some people ' won't be getting tan, and some , people are just going to have to play "go fish" and checkers with their grandmother. That's the way things were meant to be.

by John Topping Today, When a Stranger ClIlls returns to the theaters. The frrst ten minutes of the movie will excite, scare, and tantalize; the viewer is on the edge of his seat! !! After that, it has nowhere to go, (and doesn't), save the last thirty seconds of the movie. In between the beginning and end, the viewer is bored to tears. Most movies of this type have you wondering who "it" (the killer) is until the end. This picture has one wondering when "it" (the movie) will end. The story is of a teenage girl (Carol Kane of Annie Hall) who, while babysitting, gets a series of cXc11c:- phone ask- calls fi.0111a

ing her over and over again if she has checked on the children. This .is the scary part of the film mentioned earlie< -?%is part fools us into thinking that When a Stranger Gzlls will be one of those classic honor movies. Instead, we are forced to watch how the killer (Tony Beckley) has problems, lusts for middleaged Colleen 'Dewnurst (of Annie Hall), and is tracked down by the protagonist policeman (Charles Dunning, not of Annie Hall). During this time, nothing happens that is interesting. Not until eight years later (which i t truly seems like), when Carol Kane is all grown up, married to an a y i g businessman.

and (what else?) has children of her own, does the movie finally . pick up. Carol is out to dinner with her husband, and a babysitter is taking care of the children. The waiter informs her that she has a phone. call. Can you possibly guess who wants to speak to her? That's right! It's Tony Beckley, who somehow tracked her down and knew where she was eating. This works into a fantastic anticlimax back at Carol's house. I won't reveal the ending to anyone who chooses to waste their money on this flick. Just allow me the chance to write this warning; it's unequivocally the most boring movie I've ever seen. . -

Social background and family upbringing, no doubt, greatly affect the attitude of the student. Peer pressure is often responsible for formulating violence-inducing ideas like "taking on the establishment," which is why "Indian Hill stresses good student-student relationships," Feltman added. The infamous "senior prank" shows how "tradition" must be broken if the problem of vandalism is to be conquered, suggested Feltman. Racial tension, an agedld but recently intensified problem, is another culprit. "Racial tension in the schools can no longer be ignored," asserts Scott. Integra-

What it all boils down to, Dr. Feltman agrees, is a lack of respect for education, as well as for authority in general. Scott points out the gradual breakdown of the family in American society as a possible cause of this lack of respect and student apathy toward learning. Parents and children are spending less time together than ever before. "Many parents no longer take the time to encourage their children to read," Scott notes. "And an increasing number of parents take even less in-

School violc?rice attributed to family break up by Annette Theuring A teacher is slammed against a locker and threatened with a knife. Another is raped in her office after class. Obscenities are scrawled along the hallway wall in a bitter defacement of school property. Familiar situations? To the average Indain Hill student, some are, most aren't. Dr. Karl Feltman couldn't recall a single example of student-teacher or studentadministrator physical violence in his five years as principal. "Our students are far too intelligent to be involved in anything like that," he explained. Verbal abuse and vandalism, however, are rampant, though the amount and degree of vandalism at Indian Hill "were reduced remarkably last year." The story is different elsewhere, namely in the inner-city public schools. During the 19781979 school year, reports James D. Scott ("Why Teachers Quit," Cincinnati), 41 physical assaults were reported against Cincinnati public school teachers, and 69 dangerous weapon reports were made. And in the last two years, one out of every four teachers left the Cincinnati public school system; most of the resignations were attributed to "teacher burnout" the result of a loss of disciplinary control in the classroom. What's the problem? Part of it, some think, is that many teachers simply have not learned the skill of maintaining order in their classrooms. But in this day and age, maintaining order is more difficult than it seems, contends Scott. This society, preoccupied with individual rights and personal freedom, has become increasingly undisciplined. And, despite the apparent need for strict and consistently enforced discipline codes, administrators sometimes choose to tolerate unacceptable behavior rather than deal with a conglomeration of tedious lawsuits. But the fact that teachers and administrators are not doing their discipline related jobs is not the issue. The issue is why the students are originally compelled to act violently. Dr. Feltman attributed student violence to various factors, from "troubled minds" t o "a compulsion to rebel against some aspect of school or society."

by Kurt Dusterberg John Roudabush is commonly known as a high school gym teacher and football coach. What most people do not know is that he might be a linebacker in profootball today if he did not have a bad knee. In his junior year at Miami University during a spring scrimage, Roudabush was hit in the knee by a helmet. That proved to be the major setback in his career although he was the Most Valuable Player in the Tangerine Bowl in his senior year. After his college career, he was not selected in the NFL draft, but he did get a one day tryout with the Cincinnati Bengals. "I got timed in the 40-yard dash and things like that." he said, "but the team doctor said the knee was too weak." Roudabush had another offer for a tryout from the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian football league, but he chose not to go. His best opportunity came

from the Memphis Southmen of the now defunct World Football League. "I had the contract," he said. "All I had to do was sign it and I could have played. I didn't sign it because the WFL was only in its second year and I wasn't sure if it would sunrive. Also, I didn't like their policies." Roudabush does not have any regrets about not playing pro football, though. "The only regret I have is that I now have to lead the life of a high school teacher," he joked. "Really, though, I've heard from the people I know in pro football that it is not all that glorious of a life." "The thing that bothers me most about the knee injury is the games I missed in college, not that I missed a chance at the pros." Maybe he is just being modest about his talent, but without a bad knee, he might be leading a life of a pro football player rather than a high school teacher.

It's kind of funny how we'll plan so far ahead for a vacation, but wait until the night before it's due to write Mr. Powers' position paper. Furthermore, 1 love listening to seniors discussing their upcoming vacation. For examplc, I heard the following dialogue bctween two senior girls last week:

GIRL X:

"Hey, girl Y, what's

up?" GIRL Y:

"Not

much.

Hey,

have you made your reservations in Lauderdale, yet?" GIRL X: "I sure have, Y, and we're staying at the Sweetheart Sleeze Motel - that's on the strip!" GIRL Y: "Really! That's great! 'Cause we're staying at the Sunkist Motel right down the road!" GIRL X: "Our room even overlooks the parking lot." GIRL Y: "That's nothing; our room overlooks the city dump!" GIRL X: 'The dump! Oh, you must have gotten a suite!" The conversation continued for a long time, and we now pick it up again as Girl Y asks, "How many people arc you going down with, X? GIRL X: "Well, we're going to drive down with twenty-five, but

Then the girls start talking about what and where they are going to eat: GIRLX: "We'rc going to have so much fun, and I know where the White Castle is, so we don't have to spend much on food." GIRL Y: Oh, X, I hate to disappoint you, but I'm having my

on, the album ranges in subject matter from media exploitation and manufactured pleasure ("Natural's Not .In It," "I found that Essence Rare") to total alientation ("At Home He's a Tourist"). However, a particularly ominous track can be found near the end of side two called "5:45." This song illustrates especially , well the callousness of television. A sample is 'Watch new blood on the 18-inch screen / The corpse is a new personality." The song then closes with the words "Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment" shouted over and over in a frenzy. The last song of the album, "Anthrax," is truly startling. It starts off with an enormous amount of Hendrix-style feedback, closing with the words "Love will get you like a case of anthrax, and that's something I don't want to catch." The "Gang of Four's" fizst release, Entertainment, is a fine debut album. However, the name could be misleading; the album is so much more than its title may suggest.

GIRL Y: "We only have eighr teen sleeping in our ,room, because the rooms overlooking the dump are a little smaller than the others, but you can't have everything!"

by Andy Baron The "Gang of Four," one of England's latest exports, has recently released their debut album, Entertainment . Their music cannot be labeled punk, new wave, nor can it be placed in any specific category. What the "Gang of Four" has done is redefine rock music, creating something new and unique. One outstanding feature of the album is the immensely bright and rhythmic guitar played by Andy Gill. Gill's guitar doesn't play along with the rhythm section (drummer Hugo Burnham and bass-player Dave Allen) as much as it bounces off of it. Normally, the result would be extremely dissonant music, but the group has such a superb sense of timing that the listener feels sucked into the beat. Fortunately, the lyrics are just as great as the music. Vocalist Jon King has an exceptionally clear voice; so if you don't enjoy looking at a lyric sheet, you don't have to. The album starts with the song "Ether," an inflections opener about false expectations and governmental lies. From there

And so, the conversations go on and on, hoping t o make those seven months go a little faster. Yet some people won't be going to Florida, and some people ' won't be getting tan, and some , people are just going to have to play "go fish" and checkers with their grandmother. That's the way things were meant to be.

by John Topping Today, When a Stranger ClIlls returns to the theaters. The frrst ten minutes of the movie will excite, scare, and tantalize; the viewer is on the edge of his seat! !! After that, it has nowhere to go, (and doesn't), save the last thirty seconds of the movie. In between the beginning and end, the viewer is bored to tears. Most movies of this type have you wondering who "it" (the killer) is until the end. This picture has one wondering when "it" (the movie) will end. The story is of a teenage girl (Carol Kane of Annie Hall) who, while babysitting, gets a series of cXc11c:- phone ask- calls fi.0111a

ing her over and over again if she has checked on the children. This .is the scary part of the film mentioned earlie< -?%is part fools us into thinking that When a Stranger Gzlls will be one of those classic honor movies. Instead, we are forced to watch how the killer (Tony Beckley) has problems, lusts for middleaged Colleen 'Dewnurst (of Annie Hall), and is tracked down by the protagonist policeman (Charles Dunning, not of Annie Hall). During this time, nothing happens that is interesting. Not until eight years later (which i t truly seems like), when Carol Kane is all grown up, married to an a y i g businessman.

and (what else?) has children of her own, does the movie finally . pick up. Carol is out to dinner with her husband, and a babysitter is taking care of the children. The waiter informs her that she has a phone. call. Can you possibly guess who wants to speak to her? That's right! It's Tony Beckley, who somehow tracked her down and knew where she was eating. This works into a fantastic anticlimax back at Carol's house. I won't reveal the ending to anyone who chooses to waste their money on this flick. Just allow me the chance to write this warning; it's unequivocally the most boring movie I've ever seen. . -

The Braves' fine play held them in the lead, 3-2, until the final six minutes, when Mariemont scored on a fast break. The Braves fared better Saturday, September 6, scoring a 3-2 victory at Madeira. Goals by Jeff Graham and Dave Rhodenbaugh carried the

squad to a 2-0 halftime lead, but a stubborn Madeira team fought back to tie it at 2-2. Pete Graham scored the winning goal to boost the Braves to victory. The Braves Varsity Soccer team suffered their first loss of the season, 4-2, at Loveland on Tuesday, September, 9. The Braves took an early 2-0 lead on two goals by Dan Greene, one of which was a penalty shot. The Tigers fought back to tie it at 2-2 until mid-way through the fourth quarter. A fast break and

Consecutive victories help JV Footballers to fast start by John Lilly The Junior Varsity Football Braves lost to host Greenhills 22-0 in their first regular season game Saturday, August 30. The first Greenhills score came in the first quarter, after a bad snap on an IH punt. The Pioneers capitalized on their field position and scored on a 17-yard end run. The extra point attempt was unsuccessful. A 23-yard pass play led to Greenhills' second touchdown, followed by a two-point conversion early in the second quarter to catapult the Pioneers into a 14-point lead. After a series of offensive mistakes on the part of the Braves late in the second quarter, the home team scored again. A two point conversion raised the Pioneers' advantage to 22 points. A third quarter touchdown and extra point vaulted the Braves to a 7-6 victory over the Finneytown Wildcats, September 8. Finneytown scored first after a 27-yard pass play that took the Wildcats to their own 45. A breakaway 55-yard run gave Finneytown their only touchdown, but the Braves thwarted the conversion attempt. The Wildcats threatened in the second quarter, driving IH back to its own 5-yard line before the Braves' defense could reverse the tide. The third quarter opened with the IH defense recovering a Wild-

cat fumble on the Finneytown 22. A crucial first down by Steve Walker brought the Braves to the 2-yard line. Finally, Braves' quarterback Jim Arnold rammed in for the touchdown, and Mike Kearney kicked the decisive extra point to win it for Indian Hill. "The guys were a little gunshy last week," said Coach Stacey, "but this week they came t o play football." Defensive play by Steve walker highlighted the JV Braves' 13-6 victory at Mariemont last Saturday. Walker's three interceptions led the Indian Hill defense and helped the Braves, now 2-1, to defeat the Warriors. A Warrior fumble on a punt return in the first quarter gave the Braves a fitst down on the Mariemont 30. IH quarterback Jim Arnold then ran 23 yards in two plays to get the first Brave touchdown. Mike Kearney's extra point attempt was unsuccessful. The only Mariemont score was set up by an IH fumble in the third quarter. The Mariemont drive began on the 50 and was aided by a facemask call against the Braves. A 20-yard pass play tied the game at six, but the Warriors couldn't make the two-point conversion. Another Mariemont-fumbled punt set up Todd Grant's winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Mike Kearney's extra point kick brought the tally of the IH victory up to 13-6.

Mr. Arnold points out the true vWues of American histoy.

by Rick Ruskin Mr. Arnold's three American history classes will be trying something new this year, in order to investigate a more modem aspect of the class. The three classes, totalling approximately seventy students, wiU be writing to famous people who have had an effect upon America's history. Their goal is to receive responses with autographs, as well ab pictures. The letters were all sent out last Friday, September 12. As the responses return, each student will have to tell about his respective person. The students must also write a short biography about the person. "It's widely interpreted history," said Mr. Arnold, '%ut it's a change of entertainment, and the kids are really getting fired up about it."

'Widely interpreted" is a very good description of the project. Students have written politicians such as Gerald Ford and Henry Kissinger. On the other hand, they have also written celebritie~~ "Pete Townshend and Johnny Carson, for instance, have affee ted American history through entertainment," stated Mr. Anold. 'We're hoping to get r lot of responses," Mr. Arnold said, '%but in- past years when we've done this, we've only gotten about ffity percent back." When the responses come, the students have the option of keeping the autographs, but they are mcouraged to donate them to the school. "What we hope to d o with them," relayed Mr. Arnold, "is frame them and hang them all in the hibrary for everyone to enjoy."

Competition has always been a part oi American life, striving for success is reflected in American sports, business, politics, and especially its character of thepeople. The presence of this rivalry in school retards personal growth and learning. For instance, students often expect or get a "good grade" on a given test regardless of their comprehension of the material. For some, cheating is the answer to a "successful" high school career, but this concept of "success" hinders personal growth and academic accomplishment. This rivalry also causes unnecessary friction between students, each trying t o get the highest grade or to be one of the few with a 4.0. For those who are not able t o win the "school game" a feeling of inferiority and failure often occur, not because they learned less, but because they got a worse grade. These students then become apathetic towards school in general. This kind of competition also affects studentteacher relationships, because students see teachers as rivals giving them difficult tests and homework, in order to trick them; and the result is poor class attitude and a hesitance to ask a teacher for extra help. This rivalry amongst students is the product of many influences - the grading system, the Horatio Alger syndrome, and pressure from parents, just to mention a few - but it is not necessary to a fulfilling education. What is more important is that we students extract from our classes as much as we can. School should present an environment of cooperation and learning, instead of fierce competition.

Don was a straight-A ' student (and still is) who disliked his teachers (and stiU does). Telling me of his exploits, he points out not only was he strong academically, but he also was engaged in wrestling and track. Asked if he would continue in these athletic endeavors, he succintly replied, "Yeah." Don also has a wealth of musical talent. Although he played in the IH Marching Band for two years and plays the piano, Don excels at guitar. His taste in music is steeped in late sixties rock. His favorites are artists like Hendrix, Cream, old Stones, and John Lennon; although Don is quick to add that he likes Jackson Browne and John-Cougar also. Asked I

I

about the 19ck groups that he has played in (especially of the fated Secret Service), Don says, "Everybody wanted to hit each other (and sometimes did), which T thought was great fun." Alrhough divergent tastes in music broke up the band, Don adds, "We broke up when we were just showing signs of improvement." Don was president of his sophomore class. However, Don didn't like the presence of chartreuse and bright pink sweaters so it was not exactly a happy experience for him. "1 don't know," says Don, "the Preps don't infuriate me as much as they used to." When this reporter asked Don what his future plans will be, Don (a NHS member) replied that he will definitely go to college but isn't sure of his major. To sum up this inadequate biography of Don Pappas (I'm writing the book), he was asked to describe his personality. "I don't have a personality now give me a week." Intelligent answer, Don.

ers sports by Phynis Burstein Melissa Pope can usually be found catching, shooting, throwing, hitting or chasing balls of various shapes and sizes, up a basketball court, down a field, or around a golf course. Saying Melissa is an athlete is an understatement, and even calling her an dl around athlete is putting it mildly. Melissa feels "at home" with almost every sport. Melissa's many awards and honors further prove her athletic ability. In fact, Melissa has won both the MVP and MIP in basketball, track, and golf more than once. Melissa feels proud of each award she has won, but, "the 'award I'm the proudest of is the Most Outstanding Player at the EHL track meet, which is given t o the girl with the most combined points." Although Melissa excells in many sports, she concludes, after much thought, "1 guess basketball and track are my favorites, but I can't choose between the two." However, Melissa feels that she will soon have to choose between the two; "I'd like t o either play basketball or run track at college, but not both. I don't think I

could handle academics and a lot ' of sports." Concerning her college plans, Melissa is considering an offer from Westlane t o run track, but Bowling Green and Ball State also interest Melissa. In her spare time, Melissa enjoys many activites, most of which are sports-related. She particularly likes swimming, water and snow skiing, golf, and tennis. When not playing sports, Melissa always finds time to listen to music, which she says she "can't live .without." Melissa spends much time with her family. As one of six children, she relates, "I like big farnilies, especially when we get together on holidays and special occassions." Fortunately ,Melissa shares her love of sports with her family, and she plays golf and a little tennis with her dad and brothers. It is evident that Melissa Pope's accomplishments took a lot of time and hard work. Yet, despite the work, Melissa says, with much enthusiasm, "I really enjoy all sports." Melissa feels that the reward of reaching her goals is worth the effort.

by Stephen Fryxen Seven Indian Hill seniors were recently honored as National Merit semi-finalists. Mary Chalmers, John Diamant, Eric Fryxell, Sandy Geier, Joe Nicolas, Sue Roschke and Annette Theuring all scored highly on the PSAT/ NMSQT tests, which qualified them for this distinction. Over one million students, enrolled in nearly 18,000 secondary schools nationwide, entered 1981 Merit Program. In order to be considered for this program, a student must take the PSAT/ NMSQT test as a junior. Although some seniors are still undetermined about what college they wish to attend and their future major, many of the semifinalists have definite interests. Eric Fryxell looks towards the East for fulffiment of a major in biology. Mary Chalmers has set her sights on either Yale or Brown with a possible major in political

science. Sandy Geier hopes to major in either pre-business or prelaw at either Stanford or Dartmouth. Annette Theuring would like to attend either New Y ork University or Northwestern University, where she would explore interests in journalism. Both John Diarnant and Sue Roschke are undecided on colleges. However, John leans heavily towards the field of computer sciences, whereas Sue favors behavioral sciences. Joe Nicolas joins Sue and John in having "no idea" as to which college he would like to attend. All the semi-finalists aspire to become finalists. To attain this honor, they must write a brief selfdescription, as well as indicate the past honors they have receieved and the organizations in which they have participated. Furthermore, each applicant must obtain a recommendation from Dr. Feltman.

by Joe Nicolas The selection committee of drama club has chosen the cast for the upcoming children's play, Heidi. Tryouts were held the week of September 8, under the direction of sponsor Miss Berwanger, Miss Selzer and a few student officers. After school Monday the final cast list was decided, including Stephanie Pottee in lead role, and Paul Baker, Cathy Fields, Sharon Harrington, John Lilly , Susan Savage and Chris Schmalz in supporting roles, who will be helped by stage manager Julie Mauk and student director Dan Dusterberg. "There were a lot of nervous people inside," said Nancy Neu afterwards, referring to the difficult decision being made. Heidi is the story of a young girl who is brought up by her

grandfather 011 the Alps, until her aunt wants to raise ner in t h ~ city. y There, Heidi meets her cousin, who is crippled, and whom she takes to her grandfather's mountain to learn to walk. The play is four weeks away with performances the third week in October. The cast is excited, and they hope this will be a very successful production. The selection of the cast is, however, just the beginning of a dramatic production. Backstage workers have yet to construct, design, and paint the sets; and crews on publicity, costume, makeup, prop, special effects, stage hands, and the house managing crew, which takes care of the distribution of programs at the door, must put in much hard work before the production can be complete.
