Purcell feels expulsion-threat curbs drug usage Purcell: I personally don't see anything wrong with drinking. If someone can handle drinking - great. I think 99.9% of the teenagers don't know how to handle drinking, and I see it every weekend. You get bombed, you puke, you get sick, and you're staggering around. I don't consider that fun. I don't think the person does either when he's doing it, even though he didn't think about it before. You can't keep anybody from being an alcoholic or a druggie. You can't just say, 'This kid was brought up exactly by this manual, so he will never become a druggie. If you don't have a handle on your drinking, it can become progressive. Being a druggie is a progressive disease. I used to not drink at all for a while - I used to get high. I used to smoke one joint, then it became two, then ten, then twenty. Eventually it was just like, 'Smoke a bag.' If you can handle drinking with your friends fine. But a lot of kids get in trouble and get in car wrecks. So, yes, there is potential for a weekend drinker to become a druggie. You can't exempt anybody from having a drug problem.

Schmalz: Do you feel that drugs are less widespread at IH when you were here than prior to going to Straight? Purcell: My freshman year was totally drug city. I got high every day, between every period. There were pills, cocaine, and everything out in the smoking lounge. Now, I've seen drugs in school go totally down. I've seen people come in drunk, though. I'm sure there's still somebody who goes out for lunch and gets high. I think it has just gotten away from school. The drinking is still going on a lot. I'm not in the position to see a lot of dope-smoking, but I'm sure it's still going on. I'm not sure to what extent, though. I'm a lot more aware than people think - I went through it for so long. I'l see people talking about getting a bag of dope. But they don't have it at school like they used to. Kids used to carry knapsacks of dope into the smoking lounge. But now it's out of school because the threat of being expelled is too great. Schmalz: Do you think that will help in possibly cutting down in drug usage in general? Purcell: I think it makes the drug user think more. Because

basically an irresponsible person who has a drinking problem or a drug problem doesn't think before he acts. He's not thinking of the consequences. The threat of expulsion makes him think. Schmalz: Do you feel that there are as many kids getting high in the lounge or anywhere in school as there were when you were a freshman? Purcell: Definitely not. When I was a freshman, there used to be a hundred people in the lounge - it was packed. Now there are at a maximum ten people out in the lounge at a time. I'm sure they might get out a joint or a pipe, but there's pretty strict supervision. We used to get high when Rangers were at the door of the lounge. It's incredible how much of a difference four years has made. The lounge was everything back then. It would be packed you couldn't even breathe. There were as many people as you could fit out there, and they'd all be getting high. But MI. Aug or no one else could do anything about it, really. Now it's a total change.

Chances are, most of these records are temporary. The IH track was resurfaced this past summer and in the pro- 1 cess was religned with metric distances. Consequently, the track teams will have many more 1 opportunities t o break the metric records. "With the exception of a few, there is an excellent chance many of these records wilt be broken," commented boys' coach Bob West. "Most were set by last year's sophomores, partially because we had just started running on metric tracks. Many will be broken by those who hold them now.''

by Jay Schloss Eight Indian Hill seniors became National Merit Finalists this week for outstanding academic achievement. The honored students are Andrew Bahnfleth, Lisa Bollinger, Peter Hug, Diane McDonald, Michele Radin, John Ries, Jay Schloss, and Jeff Wesselkamper. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) annually selects roughly 15,000 seniors on the basis of their PSAT scores to become NM Semi-Finalists. These seniors then send NMSC their test scores, a high school transcript, a personal statement, and a school recommendation. National Merit Finalists are chosen on the basis of these criteria. Generally, ninety percent of NM Semi-Finalists become Finalists. Thirty percent of the Finalists then receive monetary scholarships funded by NMSC or private coporations. In years past, Indian Hill has had considerable success in the NM competition. Over the last five years an average of one in every fourteen seniors has been recognized by NMSC. This performance consistantly ranks IH in the top ten schools in Ohio for

by Nancy Hopple The Indian Hill High School staff meets today to conduct a self-study which is part of the required North Central Evaluation. The North Central Evaluation, involving two phases, is the process by which the school is accredited. The first phase of the North Central Evaluation, which is being conducted this year, is a selfevaluation of the operations and programs within the high school. The total staff conducts an intensive self-study through the findings of nine Comprehensive Committees and fourteen Educational Program Committees. The

Comprehensive Committees explore broad areas involving man? people and affecting the entire student body. Each Comprehensive Committee is made up of several staff members and at least one parent and one student. The two main Comprehensive Committees, whose work must b e completed first, are on School and Community and on Philosophy and Objectives. The Educational Program Committees deal with specific subject areas within the high school. For each educational department in the high school an Education Program Committee exists. These committees are made up of the

teachers partments.from the respective deThe second phase of the North Central Evaluation, which takes place next year, is the verification of the high school's selfevaluation by a visiting team of professionals from various educational programs, such as colleges, the state department, and other school systems. The intent of the visiting team of eduacators is t o validate the high school's selfstudy and to suggest any changes which might improve the educational program. This validation by the visiting team is necessary in order for the high school t o renew its accreditation.

by Richard Stradling The battling Braves will meet Lakota in the fust round of the Oxford AAA Sectional Tournament tomorrow at 2: 30 p.m. in Oxford. Lakota finished last in the Greater Miami Conference with a 4-16 overall record as IH completed their season at 3-17 overall and 3-11 in the league, good enough to beat only Deer Park. "They're like ourselves in both record and personnel, so it should be close," surmised Coach Dale McKibben. "It's the same as it's been all year. If we play well, we will win. If we play poorly or only part of a game, we won't win. They're 4-16, but they're in a good league. If we play four quarters, we can win. It was a good draw for us." Examples of the Braves' playing part of a game well .and the rest poorly are easy to find this season. One need only look at IH's final game of the season,'a 79-66 defeat at Mariemont. The Braves came out ready to play as they moved the ball around well. A half-court bucket by Dave Hancher gave the squad a

16-15 lead after the first quarter. The Braves lost momentum in the second quarter, as the Warriors outscored IH, 18-9, for a halftime score of 33-25. Mariemont tried to break it wide open in the second half as they maintained dominance of the boards. The Warriors notched up 23 points in each of the final quarters as the Braves scored 18 in the third and 23 in the fourth. Terry Healey led team scoring with 18 as he finished the season with a team high 14 points per game average. Todd Hansen sank 30 points to pace the Warriors. Led by David Davis' 20 points and 10 rebounds, the Braves fell victim to Madeira as the Mustangs clinched the EHL title with an 82-62 victory. . The Mustangs outscored IH in the first half, 38-29, but the Braves came back to outscore Madeira 17-15 in the third quarter to pull within seven. "We'd got it down to seven, and then we fell apart in the last quarter," Davis remarked. ?'If we could have kept chipping away, we could have won."

Chad Smith (98) gets the upper hand on his Hamilton opponent.

Ask anyone on the IH wrestling team how the squad will do in Sectionals tomorrow, and the reply generally is, "I don't know about the team as a whole, but Nichols and McDaniel ought to do well." So far, these two wrestlers have given the team good reason to say this. Coach Jim Collins, puts it another way. "John Nichols is very capable and confident and if he decides he wants it, he will be sectional chmpion. We're passive as a team, and in wrestling, that's not desirable. We must be active and resistant; we must say no when someone tries to roll us over ." Nichols is seeded first at 155 pounds at Sectionals while Greg ~ c ~ a n i ise lseeded fourth in the 167 pound weight class.

Two points was all that s p a rated the grapplers from seventh place at the EHL tournament last Saturday. Deer Park edged IH with 37% points. Sycamore won the tourney with 162% points. To the surprise of no 'one, Nichols took the EHL crown in the 155 pound weight class. McDaniel also finished impressively with a second in the 167 pound weight class. Chad Smith landed a second place at 98 pounds in the reserve EHL tourna.ment while Rob Reindl took third in the 185 pound weight class. Of their league performance, Collins commented "I'm happy with the team, they're a good moup, - .but I won't be satisfied until they're on top."

~ u r c e ldescribes l his return to IH by Cluis Sdrmalz This article is the fifth part of a series on drug rehabilitation. Indian Hill senior Greg Purcell is interviewed. In part I1 of the interview, Purcell described what occurred during his stay in Straight and his final completion of the Straight in St. Petersburg, Florida. In part 111, Purcell describes his return to Indian Hill and analyzes school drug attitude changes. Schmalz: Were old friends receptive to you, and was it easy to make new friends? PurceR Yes and yes. Old friends were very receptive. No one asked me to get high or anything like that. I think I was lucky to come back to Indian Hill because Indian Hill is such a good school. I know a lot of Florida kids from Straight who have gone back to their schools where Straight has been.looked down onto like a mental institution and that you're brainwashed. Indian Hill students didn't hassle me at all; they asked me questions and asked me to do things with them. I didn't at first because it wasn't the best thing for me to do. I had gotten high with those kids every day, and we had screwed eachother over so much. I made new friends easily, though. I learned to be very open with others. Just be myself - not an image. Even now, I am not in a clique. I don't consider myself a loner, but I'm alone in the sense that I don't have two people who I hang around with every weekend. Schmalz: Besides aiding you in helping you break your drug problems, what else has Straight done for you? Purcell: Straight gave me the tools to get myself straight. They don't get you straight. I got myself straight. There are a lot of kids at Straight who never get straight. They go to Straight, refuse help, and rebel. I felt like rebelling a lot of times. Some kids never get straight - they'll just run away, or they'll be there for a year and just leave. You've got to accept that you want to be straight. Nobody could get me straight. My parents tried to get me straight for so long. Straight gave me the tools to

work with. They gave me ideas about how I could build up my selfconfidence. Basically, Straight works with a thing called "tough love," and it's just kids helping kids. It gave me a lot of confidence in the person I was. The insides are what get screwed up with drugs. We call being a druggie a disease of the feelings because when you have a bad feeling, you learn to go directly to drugs. Drugs are the way out. At first it's like, 'Let's get high - it's fun, my parents don't know, sneak behind a tree, giggle, laugh, we're getting high, we're getting drunk - a little weekend thing.' But then you start to think that if you feel bad, you can go get high. Drugs became my only happiness. I was never happy- if I wasn't high. And towards the end, even getting high I wasn't happy. At Straight, you learn to be dependent on yourself for self-

a sudden these feelings start t o rise. It's a big knot in your throat. At Straight, they help you to get your self-respect back and to respect other people. They help you get your whole life back. It was hell. I almost died a lot of times being a druggie. But now I'm thankful that I went through Straight because I think I'm a lot better off now than I would have been if I had stayed straight through my whole high school. I've been to hell and back, lying in the gutter, and now I'm straight and really learned what life's about in a lot of ways. It's an experience you can't really explain - you've got to experience it. Hopefully not everyone will have this experience, though. There's a lot more than just getting straight. It's you getting yourself straight. It was my decision to get on drugs; it was my decision to get off

'Every day when I wake

UP,

it's my decision to stay straightf confidence and a good selfopinion. You learn to deal with feelings, emotions, and thoughts without drugs. For the my all pastproblems five years, byI dealt turning with to drugs. I'd get in a fight with my parents; where would Greg be in about five minutes? I'd be outside getting high, because I wuld not face or deal with my problems. After getting some D's in school, I'd be hurt or disappointed because I knew I could do better. But instead of changing that and saying, 'O.K., I'm gonna really work," I'd just get high and forget about it for a while. After a year of pushing down feelings, pot and alcohol just don't make you feel good any more, so you gotta go to pills and a lot of harder drugs to keep the feelings down. At Straight, there's a lot of sharing because it's just like a volcano. Without any drugs to push down the feelings, all of

them. Every day when I wake UP, it's my decision to stay straight. SchmalZ: were or are You ever hucell: tempted I'veto do been drugs tempted again? but not by anyone. However, people have offered me a beer, but I just refuse. I'm the only one who really tempts myself. Sometimes, I give myself a little leeway; start thinking, "That sure would be nice to have a beer or so,' or 'Boy I'd like to smoke a joint - it would make me feel good.' In being a druggie, the biggest person I fooled was myself. I kept thinking, 'God, this is great I'll be a millionaire some day; I'm cool.' It was just all a fantasy - fooling myself, and the only way I now tempt myself is in my own head by thinking, 'This is going to be great.' But the way I combat that is by thinking, 'No way.' I like myself too much. Temptation is to be expected,

though. Alcohol is a drug, and I am an alcoholic and a druggie. &hmaIz: What relationship did or do you have with your old drug friends since you came back? Purcell: My old druggie friends who I really got high with a lot I don't hang around with at all. They're just not the people I want t o hang around with. A lot of my past drugfriends have done well they've started to shape up. One in particular is really starting to shape up and d o well. He's in one of my classes, and we talk all the time. I act natural with him, and I dqn't say, 'You better be straight.' I accept people for what they are. But the druggies who still get high I don't associate with. I don't want t o be with that kind of person, .and I tell them ss. Honesty is an important rule in Straight, as it b i n my life now. I'd rather be by myself than be with them. They're doing the same old things, and that's a lot of temptation for me. You learn in Straight t o d o things that are in your best interest. I don't go into a big room where everybody's smoking dope; that just wouldn't be in my best interest. fkbnalz: Do you feel that alcohol abuse often leads to other drug abuse? Purcellk Definitely. That's the one thing I see at Indian Hill. Alcohol abuse is big. Alcohol is the biggest killer of teenagers in the country. It's so accepted in the home. When you turn eighteen, you're almost expected to drink. Even when I was younger than eighteen, my parents used to let me drink. Alcohol definitely leads to drugs. You need something harder. Drugs are an escape. You can only go so far with alcohol. And then you can end up getting into valium or pot next. You always need a better high. Alcohol just doesn't get you high enough - or you become an alcoholic. These days, where there's alcohol, there's other drugs. S*maiz: Do you feel the IH drinker is in any danger of becoming a druggie? --

disc review

'Set' offers good Dead cross-section by Pete Carr If you've ever wondered who the Grateful Dead are, purchase their latest live, double-album Dead Set, and you'll find out. The music transports the listener to a modern Grateful Dead concert, while at the same time touring him through the progressive stages of the band. Recorded in late 1980 in San Francisco and New York City, the pieces on the album are tastefully chosen. A broad range of songs exists, including tunes dating from the Dead's first album in 1967 to modern day Grateful Dead arrangements. Although the album contains none of the band's "big hits" such as "Truckin'," Dead Set consists of a variety of favorite concert tunes. like "New Minglewood Blues" and "Friend of the Devil." The songs by Bob Weir are alternately arranged with the pieces by Jerry Garcia (the ? y o major powers of the band), to avoid monotony and strike a harmonious balance

movie review

of music. Weir's arrangements tend to be driving hard rocking pieces that contrast with Garcia's flowing, slow arrangements. The talent of the individuals of the band is highlighted in Dead Set with songs like "Rhythm Devils," which is an entire song of a percussion duet done by the of the band, two dr:mmers

Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzman. Instrumental solos in every tune show the talent of all members, and all the music is played with a cohesive quality that a listener would expect from a band that has been playing together for over 17 years. In contrast with most previous live albums by the Dead, Dead Set

(The band's 7th live album) is beautifully mixed and recorded. It is a pleasure to listen to, for the album gives the strong feeling of actually being at a Grateful Dead concert. The right amount of the audience's roaring in the background further enhances this feeling. As the saying goes, "there's nothing quite like a Grateful Dead concert," but Dead Set proves to be a decent substitution.

Suspenseful second-half saves 'Night Crossing' "Night Crossing" rated PG Chieftain rating: *% by Ron Jones As I entered the movie theater, I knew that nothing I had heard about -Night Crossing ap: pealed to. me. I was the only person in the whole theater. I. felt guilty because as I walked in, the projectionist turned the projector on just for me, thus wasting electricity ete. and taking a considerable loss. As I watched the coming attractions, I felt disappointed that I was not at that moment reviewing those movies being previewed. From the beginning, I was ready to give this movie one of Chieftain's "bomb" ratings. The movie itself at first did little to defy the aura of failure. The story of a family trying to cross the Berlin Wall has a little bit of excitement, but the rapid speed of the movie acts against this excitement. However, Night Crossing does in the end hold a few worthwhile factors, though not many. The story concerns the Strelzyk family in their search for

freedom. All their lives, they have been discontent with life in East Germany. When a neighborhood boy is killed in an attempt _to cross the line, Peter (John

Hurt) and Doris (Jane Alexander) decide that they want to live in West Germany. Peter and his friend come up with the idea of using a balloon. When Peter and

his family attempt t o fly over, they fall short by a few 100 feet. Thus endeth the first half. The fust part of this movie is silly. The pace is too quick and no suspense enters the film. Peter and his friend order 1250 feet of cloth without attracting ' suspicion. Also, Peter's planning and building of a balloon occurs too quickly. The movie shapes up from that point. From the time of their failure, suspense enters the film. Peter has to escape the police because they have discovered his balloon. Peter decides to once again attempt the crossing, and this time his friend wishes t o go along with him. For the second half, the viewer should b e excited by the movie and a bit nervous. Night Crossing did not disappoint me at all. I've already mentioned that I expected a bomb, and the first half of the movie gave me good reason t o rate it that way. However, the second half saved the movie from the bottomless pit of worthlessness.

Procrastination plagues IH by John Ries Procrastination is the great plague of every student who has ever researched for a government paper, read a book for English, or even written an article for Chieftain. "Why do it today if you can put Eventually, it off till tomorrow?" there comes a time when tomorrow is too late. The true habitual procrastinator learns this lesson many times over, but he never puts it to good use. This is because habitual procrastination has several deeply seated psychological causes. One basic problem for the procrastinator is the idea of an evaluation being attached to his work. To him, the evaluation is a measure of self-worth, and since the procrastinator is often a perfectionist, he sets unattainable goals for himself. By procrastinating, he avoids the evaluation, telling himself, "I could do a great job if I had more time." Thus he never gets a true evaluation of his abilities because he fears he won't live up to hi!; own high standards. Indian Hill students are particularly suceptible to these problems, since they generally come from highly successful families. Parents can exert pressure on the children very subtly, without even realizing it: "You can do anything you set your mind to." This seems to be supportive, but it could imply that the child should never fail. Another possible cause of procrastination is the need to rebel. A student can feel controlled by having expectations and deadlines placed upon him. He realizes that the projects must be done eventually, but by putting it off, he indirectly rebels against the system which has imposed control upon him. The art of procrastination requires a certain element of irrationality. If a student puts a paper off knowing that he will get out of doing it, then he is being rational, not procrastinating. On the other hand, very few students have ever got out of writing a paper without picking up a zero in the gradebook. Therefore, the student who puts a project off simply because he has a lot of time to do it is not being too rational. Chances are very good

that this attitude will c o n t i n z o persist even when he doesn't have a lot of time to deal with. As the deadline approaches, his situation becomes increasingly stressful. Stress can be a great motivation, but it can also perpetuate procrastination if it becomes too great. The student is overwhelmed, and rather than sitting down to write that paper, he calls a friend on the phone, gets something to eat, or turns on the television. Again, he ends up "fritter-

ing away" all his time, only increasing the stress. Procrastinators are often given techniques for managing time in hopes of curing the problem. As often as not, the procrastinator simply postpones using these techniques. Getting rid of the problem involves much more: self-understanding, self acceptance, a clarification of priorities, and the realization of how unrealistic one's goals are. Only when the procrastinator under-

stands the role his procrastination plays, a way of rebelling, escaping, or whatever, can he solve his problem. This is never an easy task, for procrastinators tend to be very capable at justifying their own positions and making up excuses. The perfectionist has additional problems; he must learn that there is a middle ground between worthlessness and perfection. Most students are not habitual procrastinators, but all have the potential. In essence, it's an easy trap to fall into. Ridding oneself of procrastination requires only realism and rationality, but these qualities are none too abundant.

True s

by Richard Stradling Whether joking with students i he hallways or conducting one c his physical education classes, C,m, True is a familiar sight to most IHers. If a student has spent his seventh, eight or freshman years here at IH, chances are he has had MI. True. Mr. True joined the district in 1965 as a junior high teacher and as a line coach for the football team ten years after he began his career at Boone County high school. Three years ago, he joined the high school staff teaching all ninth grade phys. ed. classes. Mr. True holds the distincion of being one of the few teachers to live out-of-state. Commuting from Kentucky has been getting easier, though, with the improve: ment of the interstate system. "I like the fact that I've lived in the same place for so long," True maintains. "I like doing my work while keeping a distinct home life. Besides, I make notes and sort my thoughts on the ride in and the ride home gives me a winding down period." A large part of Mr. True's home life has been his three sons, ages 21,20 and 16. There is a sort of irony in the fact that a phys. ed. teacher has no sports hobbies. "I have had some philosophy changes over the years," said Mr. True. "My athletic training was basically team oriented and I didn't get into sports

I

like golf or tennis that I can still play as a pastime. My boys are getting into snow-skiing and I imagine I will be spending some time doing that." Mr. True's summers are spent at his cottage in London, Kentucky where he participates in outdoor activities. "I need the seclusion to get away from society and get to people," he said.

A former athlete himself, Mr. True's attitude toward athletics is simple. "Athletics are one of the best training grounds for life. They entail many of the traits of adulthood like discipline and teamwork. I suddenly noticed that only a small percentage participated. In our phys. ed. program, we try to develop students so they can participate and then,

Local artists to c:onverge onlH by Kitsa Tassian The senior high and Ottawa art classes plan to host a forum of art professionals from the Cincinnati area on Wednesday, March 3. The purpose of the "art fair" is to make students aware of the possibilities of art as a career. Nine area artists will participate, and each will bring examples of his own work for display throughout the three art rooms. The artists will also demonstrate the t xhniques for their specific f. alds, and students will have the opportunity to ask questions. Two IH graduates, Mark Zimriierman, rapidary , and Lonnie Elackley Jr., pen and ink, are among the artists who will participate in the exhibition. Most of those involved earn their living through their art, but it is supplementary to a few.

ies

Other artists participating are Mary Carlos, enamels; James Werline, watercolor; Ruth Rolfsen, print making; Arnell Dow ,batik; Jean McDonald, pottery; and Carol Liebzeit, stained glass. The exhibition will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m next Wednesday, and it is open to all students. Art teacher Larry Bernard commented that he hopes the fair'will "inspire students and show them that art is alive."

offer them the chance to participate:' Mr. True teaches because he enjoys it, "not to save the world." But his teaching does have its goals. "From a phys. ed. educa-

tion, we hope the student gains the feeling of being at home in the world. If we show them the feelings of success and accomplishment, it helps them like themselves better. This leads to feeling at home. It's not encouraging to see someone at a picnic not participate because he hasn't played softball before." He adds that in his classes he is not as interested in the athlete as he is with the student who has problems due to a lack of desire or talent. As for the future, Mr. True has no plans on leaving Indian Hill. "My career has slopped growing vertically and has started growing horizontally. I have no intention of becoming a principal or anything," he stated. Despite the gains he has made, Mr. True maintains that due to the people and facilities, growth is continuous at IH. "There's no end to the progress that can be made. When a plateau has been reached, more come into view, unlike other schools where a lack of initiative holds you back." He adds that IH students are "challenging." Much has been done to improve the athletic programs since Mr. True first arrived and much more can be done in the next seven or eight years until his r e tirement. "Watching the development of our facilities and people is like watching history. It's always changing and improvipg." Mr. True says he has two types of friends; personal friends whom he has passed troubled times and shared fond memories, and student friends, who even after graduating remain his friend. By the look of Mr. True's track record, that number is quite large.

Financial donation to library results in 'Drug and alcohol awareness center' by Ron Zesch The Indian Hill High School Library recently recieved a large financial gift from a "concerned community member." The donation was given for the specific purpose of buying books and literature concerning the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol. The library display, "Drug and alcohol awareness center," will allow students to learn more about teenage drug and alcohol problems. The only requests as to what should be purchased were, fust of all, that the

l

materials could not be in the form of classroom teaching materials and secondly, that the materials were to be Bought strictly with the students in mind. The donators hoped that students would seek out this opportunity on their own without faculty pressure. Miss Eloise Balz, head librarian, hopes that "students will become aware of the effects of drugs and alcohol." The center includes information on every aspect of drug abuse and all of the. material is open for circulation in and out of the library.

L~zamarntarns quest or her dream by Sally Engelhard Liza Mitchell has set high goals for herself. She happily states, "Once I'm out of college, I plan to become independantly wealthy in five years. Then, I will put all of my -money in swiss-bank, buy a place in Austria, and ski all winter long." It's no surprise that Liza wants to live abroad. She is what you'd call a well traveled girl. Her family moved to Rome, Italy when she was only one and a half. Liza lived there for seven years and remembers quite a bit, because her parents emphasized the highpoints of life there. "I can't think of anything bad about Italy," stated Liza reminiscently. "In fact, I loved everything about it; sights, and the people." When Liza was eight, the family moved to Caracas, Venezuela. "Caracas was ok, but I'm glad we only lived there for a year," Liza explained. Liza's interest in golf may have begun in South America. The Mitchells lived on a golf course. "My sisters and I used to play in the sprinklers there, and we would be chased off by the local policeman." Liza, a great golfer, has played for the IH girls9golf team for four years, -Golfjs her favorite sport

Florida, near Tampa. "I can't wait," explains Liza. "We went there last year and had a great time!" Liza is a real athlete. In addition to playing golf, she plays outdoor and indoor soccer with area teams. She also has run on the IH track team for the last two years. Liza has been a member of Student Government her junior and senior years, and she is a oneyear member of Peer Counseling. "I really wish that I had participated in this program a lot earlier. I have learned a lot about helping people and I've met a lot of new friends," explains Liza. Liza likes school as much as most seniors do. "I guess you could say senioritis has set in. Academics and some of the school regulations are getting me down," she said. Liza is anxious to end her high school career and move on to Bowling Green University, where she plans to major in some type of business. Before she gets into the grind of four more years of academics, she will Webster, spend Indiana, the summer where in North the Mitchells have a cottage on a lake. "I spend a lot of time swimming and sailing on our Hobie Cat." Liza will also be working at the country club Pro Shop. From living in Rome, t o spending the summer in North Webster, Indiana, Liza is well on her way t o fulfilling her dream.

Sports

add to

by John Nichols One can look at Greg McDaniels' record throughout school and be impressed most by his interest, talent, and relentless dedication to sports. Greg has participated in three scholastic sports yearly since seventh grade and plans to repeat that this year. However, in addition to being a gifted athlete, Greg is also involved with the Legend, academics, and music. Greg's three sports, save for baseball his freshman year, have been football, wrestling and track. He has excelled in all three, and they have had a stunning effect oq his character. In football, Greg's powerful desire to excel always pushed him to gain that extra yard. His successful wrestling career has been a result of his working twice as hard as anyone

Greg's character -

else in practice, and his physical and mental stability and strength. As for track, Greg has done the long jump for two years and plans to branch out into the shot and discus this year. Anyone with athletic ability can play a sport, but in order to excel, he or she has to have a strong sense of competition. This sense of competition makes Greg the fierce competitor he is. In addition to being a fine athlete, Greg has a strong aptitude in academics. He is in the advanced math class and PSSC physics and is doing well in both. Greg has been a member of the Legend staff for two years. Last year, he was the boys' sports editor, and this year he is the managiri editor of the "finest yearbook in the state." Next

year, Greg plans to attend Miami University 'where he'll major in business administration. Finally, Greg is a fun-loving guy who wards off the conformity which seems to afflict many of the students of IH. He may at first seem shy, but if you put a successful wrestling match together with his Rush (cranked from his Walk Man or "ghetto blaster") you'll find a guy so wild and crazy you'll ask what he's been "drinkin', poppin' or tokin'." But the answer will always be nothing, because Greg gets his high from being what he is and doing what he does. Greg is a well-rounded student with enormous drive and initiative, and as a result, he is destined to excel in whatever he pursues.

as I see it

The last Chieftain editorial voiced a need for diversity in the school day, calling for educational activities outside the classroom. On the motning of that issue, the call was answered. Unfortunately, a grave mistake was made. Besides being a technical failure, "The Spirit of Challenge" was a ludicrous insult to the student body's collective intelligence. Our administration prides itself in a committment to "excel~ence," and the message of this program was potentially constructive for an "excellent" high school. However, the program was aimed at the "average" high school student. Like it or not, Indian Hill is not a school of "average students." The program did not promote the message; to many of the students in this school, it only made a mockery of the several truly admirable achievements included in the presentation. Most of the students who graduate from this high school will continue tlieir formal education in a college or university. If a student leaves IH with a desire t o question and t o learn, he will probably be successful at college. Forums provide an excellent opportunity to foster this attitude. Several years ago, Student Government sponsored a forum at which then councilman Gerry Springer spoke and answered student's questions. SG also held fairly frequent forums at which representatives discussed their various activities. Granted, these forums often became heated debates in which restless students simply vented their anger at the system, but the assemblies were far more constructive than "Q-102 and the Pepsi-bottling company present 'The Spirit of Challenge'." The major objection to frequent forums in the past has been over lost classroom time. If our forums are to be so few and far between, then their quality must be far superior to the example of two weeks ago.

news shorts The staff of IH's illustrious yearbook, the Legend, reminds seniors that they only have the weekend to complete essays if they wish their picture to be featured in the senior section of the yea-book. Thirteen essays will be selected on the subject, "why you are a wonderful human being and the whcle world will be in awe of you in ten years." The winners will be photographed in the setting of their choice for publication in the 1982 Legend.

Bergman doesn't Skidmore's complaints by John Bergman A student opinion in a recent Chieftain expressed some of the author's qualms about certain Indian Hill High Schoolpolicies. His major points were that the class attendance policy would be more flexible, thereby allowing students to more vigorously pursue out-of-school activities, that the silent study hall rule should be abolished because it prevents students from leaning how to "deal with people," and that the importance of facts and formulas is exaggerated at IH. In his student opinion, Bi Skidmore claims that the facts and formulas of our high school years wP not be terribly useful in the soda1 and professional worlds of our future. I beg to difller with some of BFs statements. The attendance policy of Indian. Hill High School is not Indian HiIl's own invention. The policy is based on federal requirements. Child actors and professional tennis players must spend a required number of hours at school or with a tutor. Furthermore, even if Indian Hill could relax its attendance policy, I would not be in favor of such a move. Bi refers to IH as a "quality college preparatory school." At such a school, students should be encouraged to learn for learning's sake. Indian Hill students are p r e pared for four years in college; perhaps they are not as well p r e pared for a job as a graduate of a

vomtional school is. I share Bi's belief that extracurricular activities are immensely important, but at a college preparatory school, education should come fust. I believe preparation for the ''real world" should not be confused with assimilation therein. Students should leave Indian Hill with enough knowledge to be capable of facing the community at large, but that does not mean that students must have alteady faced conditions resembling those of the "real world" before they have graduated from Indian Hill. One studies silently in study halls so that he can converse intelligently later be it in the hails, after school, or in the world of big business. I agree with BPS statement that we will eventually forget much of what we learn. I do, however, disagee with the idea that because we will forget something, we should never learn it at

IH is a college preparatory school. We come here so that we can learn to learn. Bi's belief that the ability to write coherently and think logically is more important than the ability to recite formulas is certainly correct. But as I see it, the best way to acquire the skills needed in college and in the business world is to attend classes and study quietly. If we happen to remember some facts and formulas in the process, then that's not bad eitherL

Four years later, under the direction of Joe Flaherty, "Second City Television" premiered. After another four years passed, they made it to NBC, and Rick Moranis was added to the group. The show is fast becoming a hot property. "Good day, eh!" and "Take off," lines fust used the ''Great White North" segment of the show are replacing "Excuse me," and "I'm a wild and crazy guy," as national catch phrases. Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas and John Candy are becoming super stars in their own rights. And the show itself is soaring into popularity.

MUN delegation receives honorable mention by Charles Wood The Indian Hill Moroccan delegation, for the first time in Indian Hill Model United Nations history, received recognition on a national level with an honorable mention at the North American Invitation Model United Nation (NAIMUN) in Washington D.C. over the President's Day weekend. The fifteen Indian Hill students represented Morocco in Economic and Social Committee

(ECOSOC) and Cuba in the General Assembly. Also for the first time, Indian Hill students participated in the Inter-Nation Simulation (INS) representing Cuba and Guatemala. The Moroccan delegation was composed of Bi Skidmore, Lawrence Gallant, Diane Remmell, Trip Edwards, Dan Kramer, Pete Hug, Chris Hug. Rob Ottenjohn, Chip Surkamp, Paul Smith, Andy Hall, Jane Lewin, Shannon Meldon, and Win Wells made up the Cuban

delegation. Bob Kindel and Charles Wood represented Cuba and Guatemala respectively in the INS. Thursday morning the group arrived in Washington D. C., and in the afternoon, the students toured the Capital and met with Ohio Congressman Bill Gradison. Following their tour of the capital, the students returned to the hotel and prepared for the opening session of the Model United Nations Convention.

U ISCUSS10 n g rouPS co m me nc e sessions during study halls -

Four "disscussion groups" held their rust sessions during sixth period study halls last week. The program, conceived and constructed by senior co-president Rod Barr, allows groups of around ten students to leave their study halls once each week to meet with a faculty member in a an informal atmosphere. Barr hopes that as these ten students get to know each other and the faculty member, and as the faculty member gets to know the students, both studentlstudent and student/faculty relations will improve. Bar1 added that he "hopes some of the opposing forces and cliques of our school will accept, or at least understand, the others through these groups." ln the groups, the topic of discussion may vary anywhere from personal or school issues to national problems, and the em-

Henley to take a sabbatical' by Julie Meyerenke Indian Hill music teacher, Mr. Hank Henley recently was granted a sabbatical from the Indian Hill Board of Education. Henley, who is directing this year's Pow Wow, "Pippin," is also busy preparing to return to the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music this June. While attending the Conservatory Henley plans to earn his Doctorate of Musical Arts (DMA). When Henley earned his Master of the Arts (MA) at the Conservatory, he set a personal goal of "achieving his DMA by the age of thirty-five." To become eligible to return

to the Conservatory, Mr. Henley had 'to apply for admittance, undergo auditions and tests, and conduct before the entire Conservatory conducting faculty. Henley's plans for the future include returning to Indian Hill for his eighth year and continuing to teach and conduct his six performing groups in grades six through twelve, including Chamber Choir and Pow Wow. Henley explained that he will be involved in several performances throughout his leave and added that he is looking forward to the performing for his "own self satisfaction."

He specifically noted the United States' role in central America and the U. S. - U.S.S.R conflict. The last day of the convention, Sunday, ended at one o'clock. Each delegation met in either the ECOSOC or the Cenera1 Assembly Plenary. These Plenaries consisted of all the delegates at NAIMUN XIX. That night, the Indian Hill students and moderators celebrated the conclusion of the convention at the A1 Khalyam, a Turkish restaurant. This restaurant entertained the Indian Hill delegates with bellydancing. Rob Ottenjohn was rumored to have gasped, "Wow, what moves!" Monday evening the students left a sunny Washington D.

Finally, the pilot decided to "take a shot" at a landing in the minimal landing conditions, and he landed the plane safely.

March chock full of student educational activities, forums, by Chris Schmalz According to Mr. Gary Gellert, March is filled with educational out-of~lassactivities. Starting Monday, March 1 students will begin signing up for the Activity Period held on Thursday, March 4. Gellert points out that many new choices have been offered. Some of the new setbacks include: a Cincinnati Reds "81" highlight film, a fire safety movie (The Beverly Hills Supper Club fire), the Drama Club play that is being performed in the Ohio State competition (Tell Me Another Story, Sing Me a Song), a Cincinnati coin Exchange Presentation, a Radio Shack Computer presentation, and a Rape Prevention course (Women Helping Women). Student Government is sponsoring another forum on March 10 with a band from Florida called Free Fare. The band will feature a series of songs ranging from Rock to Soul to Rhythm

and Blues. In addition, the group also presents a twenty minute skit which takes a satirical look at television viewing today. The band will also give a concert at 8:00 March 12. Finally, Mr. Jack Burnett is featured in March's final forum, a highway safety program. The program is designed to inform high school students about the dangers in drinking and driving.

Aquateams finish well in Sectionals by Mark Aldendifer The Aquabraves finished in sixth place with 99 points, and the Squaws grabbed 120 points for fifth place in the sectional meet at Sycamore last week. There were twelve other teams participating. The Sectionals decided who would go to the District competitian at Keating natatorium, tonight at 7:00, and where they would be seeded. Along with others qualifying for the girls District meet is the girls medley consisting of Diane Remmell, Kris Brockmann, Betsy Weller, and Beth Wingerter which is seeded fourth in the competition. Wingerter is seeded eighth in the 50 freestyle and qualified in the I00 freestyle. Weller swam to qualify first the 100 free with a time of 55.60, along with being seeded 11th in

the 50 free. In the 100 backstroke, Remmell is ninth in the seeding chart. When the 100 breaststroke event rolled around, Jennie Gardner earned herself twenty-first seed and Kris Brockmann tenth. After breaststroke, the girls 400 free relay swam to be seeded fifteenth for the districts. Before the sectional swimming took place, divers from each team battled it out only to lose to first place finisher Mike Gruber, who totalled 536.20 points. Scott Lyon now boasts a sixth place and looks forward to the District competition. For the Aquamen, the medley relay swam to be seeded ehventh with a time of 1:48.74. Rob Gaddis is now seeded twentythird for his swim in the 100

Squaws eliminated from tourney The Varsity Basketball Squaws were somewhat relieved when they found out they would be playing Franklin instead of Oak Hills in the first round of Sectionals. But things didn't work out as they had hoped as Franklin defeated IH by a score of 46-39 this past Wednesday. The game progressed like many of the Squaws' games this season in that they played just poorly enough to lose. The team came out strong, finishing the first quarter on top 8 6 , but fell behind 22-21 at the half.

From there it was downhill as Franklin outscored IH 9 6 in the third quarter and 15-12 in the fourth. The Squaws had trouble completing passes and missed some easy layups that could have closed the rather slim margin between the two teams. Betsy Esterly played a fine game as she scored fourteen points as the team's leading scorer. "We didn't put out that extra we needed," said senior Mary Brainard. 'We just didn't play well enough to win."

Boys' Sectionals weren't over until Indian Hill's 400 free relay team claimed a close second with a time of 1:56.29, a hair slower than Sycamore's first place time of 1:56.24. The team's record of 7-3 lets people know that the Aquateam has had a tremendous season.
