Good fish biting in Queen City in April by Dwight Poffenberger With spring break just hours away, many Indian Hill students fmd themselves headed on a jet for Ft. Lauderdale or the Bahamas to lie out in the sun and maybe do a little fishing. The others find themselves stuck in luke-warm, dreary Cincinnati being bored without beaches or enormous fish. But that's only half true. Believe it or not, good fishing can be found in the Queen City in early spring. A typical Cincinnati fisherman fishes fann ponds for bass in the summer, but that is about all. If one asks him if good springtime fishing exists here, he would probably reply "No, not until about June." But here is where his pond isn't fulfy stocked. Good, healthy fish can easily be caught in April if you know where to go. First off, if you would like to take home a couple tasty rainbow trout, you should head out to the nearest paylake. These lakes can

be found all over Cincinnati and are open toward the middle of March. Up until early May, these lakes stock hundreds of pounds of hungry rainbow trout weighing between one and two pounds. These trout are reared on protein pellets in nearby hatcheries and can be caught on any small type of bait. Worms, corn, cheese, marshmallows, artificial lures, and best of all, live minnows tempt these trout. For Indian Hill students I would recommend going to nearby Lake Isabella, Lake Remington or Buckskin Lake. On Friday evenings, ads for these lakes can be found in the sports section of the CincinnatiPost. Cincinnati's most popular gamefish, the largemouth bass, also known as bigmouth, can also be caught this time of year. Though the water is colder than bass like, they will still feed. Normally large mouth prefer water temperature in the 703, but they wiU feed in the high 503, which is more likely in April. I

have found that the best early season bass lures are bottomhugging crankbaits. One of the most successful ones for me has been one called the Cisco kid. Since the fish are sluggish in the cold water, it helps to retrieve the bait slowly. Bass are not nearly as energetic in the colder water. Also a pork rind or some type of trailer on the bait will attract more bass than a plain lure this time of the year. Another successfull early season bass bait is a rubber worm jiggled slowly off the bottom. Purple and black are the most productive colors. Besides largemouth bass and trout, other species can be easily bagged in April. One of my favorites, the black or white crappie, falls easy prey to a small minnow fished around brush this time of year. Cincinnati may not be the fishing capital of America, but if you look hard enough, you can find plenty of fun fishing right here even in April.

Trackers hopeful despite low finish in relays by Paul Monach The Sycamore Relays, held Monday, March 29, have come and gone, having shown stxong points and areas that need work. Overall, coach Bob West was encouraged by the performance, saying, "Even though we frnished tenth out of ten teams in our division, I am very hopeful about the success of this team. After all, we were the smaest school in our group." some of the events were es-

pecially promising. The field events were strong, especially in the pole vault where Dave Rhodenbaugh placed sixth with an 11foot 6 inch jump. In the shotput, Craig Carman and Chip Greenlee placed sixth also, both with a throw of 4 1feet 10 inches. West was also impressed with the short distances. "I felt the sprinters looked very strong, especially in the 800 and 1600 m e ter relays." he 1600 meter relay team of

Three Indian k{ill athletes r eceive ath 1eti sc h 1a rs hips MW Brainard, Mike Gruber and Craig Carman were recently granted partial athletic scholarships to universities in their respective sports. Brainard will attend Ohio State University while playing field hockey under varsity coach Harriet Reynolds. Ohio State will pay for room, books and board. "I'm really glad I'm going to get to play," Brainard said. "Starting doesn't mean that much; I just want a chance to play." Reynolds indicated that the 14 goal scorer would play defense next fall and likely earn a varsity letter. Gruber, Ohio's two-time defending state diving champion, will attend the university of

Michigan this fall on a two-thirds scholarship. Last year Gruber won by a razor's edge over Vandalia Butler's Tim Schwartz, but this year he rolled to a much easier victory. He will be under the direction of former Olympic coach Dick Kimball at Michigan. Craig Carrnan will be headed to Georgetown College in Kentucky next year on a one-half football scholarship. Braves coach Gene Brindise said the division I1 school will be looking at Catman as an offensive and defensive lineman. Based on his performance, Carrnan can increase the size of his scholarship. Carman is forty-fifth player to gain a scholarshit, under Brindise &I 13 years of varsity coaching.

Drama C l u b p l a y ranks superior ,

by Gus Gordon Indian Hill Drama Club's awatd winning play, "Tell Me a Story, Sing Me a Song," has done it again. The play received the only superior rating at the Ohio Theatre Alliance play festival last weekend in Columbus. In addition to the superior rating, the play's two stars, juniors Stacey Labahn and Lainey Kahlstrom, also received awards. Kahlstrom was named as one of the three superior actors of the conference and Labahn was named to the all state cast. "It felt great!" commented Labahn. "Tell Me a Story, Sing Me a Song" was just one of the 10 plays that participated in the festival. To qualify, each play had get a superior rating in each of their respective districts. The festival itself started at noon Friday, March 26 and lasted till 6:00 Saturday. During this time the participants were treated to a number of classes in the art of theatre productions, special events, parties, and of course, numerous plays. "The idea of having a festival of plays was really great," stated stage manager Craig Mullaney. "It's something that Indian Hill should keep going to in the future." Miss Mary Berwanger, sponsor of the Drama Club and the play's director, was in attendance as were many Drama Club members and parents of those involved. "The support that the members gave Lainey and Stacey was great." stated Miss Berwanger. "It helped them to know their friends were supporting them ." "I couldn't believe it!" said Kahlstrom. "It was one of the best moments of my life." More recently, Drama Club has finished auditions for their final production of the year, Neil Simon's The Good Doctor. The production stars John Lilly in the title role. The play consists of nine short sketches, each representing a short story written by the Good Doctor during the course of the

I

play. With so many sketches, the play has a fairly large cast. In addition, people who have been extras in past plays will now have a chance to perform in dramatically demanding roles. Miss Berwanger commented on the tryouts: "We had a great flowering

of talent." The IH Drama Club presented a production of The Good Doctor in the winter of 1977, while schools were closed, students attended split-sessions, and Indian Hill facilities experienced a dearth of heat. Miss Berwanger said, "I

came out of rehearsals with frostbite. . . the May sunshine is going to be a contrast." Aiding the production from the technical end will be assistants Mrs. Shannon, the set designer for Pow-Wow, Beth Robinette, a graduate and former Thespian of IH, and I H a Brenda McDonald; stage manager Scott Kroeger; and tech crew John Brumleve and Ken Barthel. Perfomance dates are May 6 and 8.

Permanent operating levy facing IH June 8 by Nancy Hopple The Indian Hi Board of Education passed a motion at its March 23 meeting to place an 8.63-mill permanent operating levy on the June 8 primary election ballot for the IH school district. According to Board Treasurer Mr. Harold Bush, as it stands the IH district faces a possible 1983 deficit of $1.8 million. With passage of the levy the district would receive additional funding of approximately $1.8 million to balance the budget. Bush attriiuted a major portion of the projected 1983 deficit to the state budget cuts in school funding, although he added that the district would have required some additional funds for next year even without the reduction in state aid. Through budget cuts so far,

the Indian Hill district has lost $400,000 of its estimated $850,000 of state aid for 1982, with more cuts expected. MI. ush pointed out that 4 pills of t e proposed levy are needed to replace state funding alone. The Board had agreed earlier at its March 9 meeting to place the levy on the ballot but waited until two days before the County board of elections' March 25 deadline for submission of tax issues to decide on the millage of the levy. The reason for this was the Board's wish for the most current information on state budget cuts before deciding the amount of the Thelevy. total operating budget for

Y

the four school Indian Hill district amounts to approximately $6,960,000. The $1.8 million which the proposed 8.63-mill levy would raise makes up a substan-

tial 25% of the district's budget. According to Bush, if the levy is approved the $1.8 million would be used to maintain the current functions of the district. To the individual home and property owner in the IH school district, the 8.63-mill levy translates into $8.63 in additional taxes for each $1,000 of the home's assessed value. However, the value of the home is assessed at approximately 35% of its actual selling price. The total value of homes and property in the school district has been assessed at $214 million. If the proposed levy does not pass, the effects on the school district would be severe. Mr. Bush indicated that there is a plan making reductions in the present programs to compensate for the financial deficit if the millage is not passed.

over the past seven months, the majority of Chieftain editorials have tried to point out some flaw in the surrounding world, from concrete aspects of the IH schools to general attitude problems.

TO be honest, the show was far from perfect. Durfailed, ork g the three p&fomances, props and chestra members missed cues, lead singers' voices cracked, and lines were ad libbed or even forgotten.

place in courtrooms by John Bergman Several Chieftains back, I mbmitted a dticism of the way the press had handled the death of Natalie Wood. I emphasized my opinion that the press, like all othcl. citizens and in

this couney, is ccfreemonly in the boundary of certain laws. The past several weeks have brought a new debate concern~g the press on the scene. The issue is whether or not television cameras should be &owed in a courtroom. This is a question which is bound to create a lot of debate, as d &
cases should, in normal circumstances, be held in a publicly ac-

cesfl%le courtroom but not in fiont of an entire nation. Our court system is supposedly run so that "every man is innocent until proven gulltyT Most people think of this idea in terms of who

is sent t o jail md what he is war-

anteed before he can be sent there; namely, a "f& trial,"but having a vast number of people think-you are guilty is a G o s t a s bad asbeing legally indicted. Even without television in the courts. witnesses and defendants. guilty or innocent, are afraid of what might happen to them in the "real world" even if they are pronounced innocent by the system itself. Those who are not made nervous by the camera may quite understandably be distracted by the sight and constant noise of the Neither distraction --- - -machine. . .. -. . - nor nervousness should be knowhgly induced into the defendant's trial unless some greater good is accomplished. I do not believe there is. A defendant's guilt should be determined by an &Court jury or by a judge and the verdict should be submitted to the aublic: but x ---z ---the details o f t h e case, whicha jury is not even supposed to discuss outside of the court, should not be sent out of the courtroom unless by complete transcript. Editing of trials, fmding the right statements to put into a less than two minute time slot is even more potentially tragic. "Who gets to play God?" There is one area of law which I do feel should be televised; namely, the Supreme Court, the biggest kept secret in theunited States. We read about the Supreme Court in history books but most of us simply think of the justices as old, brilliant and, most importantly, very dignified gentlemen. I have heard one lawyer compare some Supreme Court cases to amateur night at the Met and say that the arguments were some of the simplest in all courts. This court, a court which deals with issues, not people, is something which the public deserves to see and, if the aforementioned description is correct, to be able to complain about. --

Coach Benken said of his team

Braves' bats slumber in early season games ~;;;h;;;;.bLw;;ly;~~~ "

by Mike Petraglia A shortened game and a fourrun fifth inning helped the Wyoming Cowboys to down Indi'an Hill, 6-1. Tu&av.. March 30 at Wvomz

ing.

Jed Donnell was the Braves' starting pitcher, and unlike the previous game, got errorless fielding. However, the tricky winds caused misjudgments for the fielders. Wyoming got its first two runs of the game in the second when a one-out walk and three consecutive base hits Combined for the

runs. Indian Hill moved into position to score its lone run of the game in the fifth when Donnell led off the inning with a base hit to center and Dave Hancher reached base one out later on an error. Dave Davis then singled Donnell in, and it was 2-1. That is as close as the Braves were to get. Wyoming exploded for four runs in their half of the fifth to make it 6-1. The game was called after five innings because of lightning and rain. That is nothing new to the

Braves, as they have already had theiT official opener washed out with Finneytown as well as a doubleheader last weekend with Turpin. Coach Jim Benken and his varsity Braves opened up the 1982 campaign last Monday, March 29. But nighmares of last year came back to haunt the team in a 9-3 loss at Loveland. Dave Hancher, the starter on the mound, pitched well enough to win, but the fielders behind him committed seven errors and resulted in many unearned runs.

pitching were fine, but our fielding had a lot left to be desired." The only highlight of the game for the Braves was a monstrous 425 foot homerun in the fourth by clean-up power man Doug Ulmer. Bill Carroll was on base to account for the other run on the blast. Dave Davis came on for a tired Dave Hancher in the bottom of the fourth and had the same terrible luck his predecessor had. Both of the runs charged to Davis in the sixth were unearned on account of three errors.

Strong doubles teams carrying tennis Braves by Craig ~ohnson The boys varsity tennis team won the consolation match in the Medina Tournament March 27. The Braves lost in the first round of the championship tourney to University High School. University's team is consistently ranked in the top ten in the nation. In fact, outside of this tournament, the school plays only colleges. However, the matches in the consolation tournament were not quite as difficult for the 5-1 Braves. In the team's first match they defeated Lima, 3-2. Sophomore BiU Poffenberger defeated his opponent in a long match 3-5, 6-2, 6-3. The first doubles team of Charlie Hall and Jon Kitei won, 6-2, 6-4 while the second doubles team of Peter Graham and Steve Tipp outlasted their opponents, 4-6,6-2,6-2. In the next round, the team defeated Geneva, 3-2, for the consolation championship. Once again Poffenberger won, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Both doubles teams also score victories. Hall and Kitei won, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 while Graham and Tipp handily defeated their opponents, 6-0, 6-1. Throughout the tourney, consistent doubles play led the way. Princeton fell victim to the Braves' lineup Wednesday, losing, 4-1. Senior Mark Craig won, 1-6, 6-2, 7-6 while Poffenberger glided to a 6-2,6-1 win. Once again, the doubles teams played superbly. Hall and Kitei won, as did Graham and Tipp, scoring 6-4,6-3 victories. The Braves crushed Aiken Tuesday, 5-0. In singles, Craig

won 6-1, 6-0, as well as Bi Skidmore who won 6-1, 6-1. Poffenberger whipped his opponent, 6-0, 6-0 while both doubles teams scored 6-0, 6-0 victories. The Braves came up with a big win last Friday by defeating Westerville, 3-2. At third singles Poffenberger won 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. In doubles, Hall and Kitei won, 6-1,6-2 while the second doubles team of Graham and Tipp were victorious, 6-3, 6-2.

concert review

Joan Jeff, Police strut stuff at Indy plays her uncaring attitude about her "bad reputation" and life in general by jumping around much in the form of Joey Ramone for a little over thirty-five minutes. Her act was short and sweet, but she did manage to get in some of her more popular tunes such as "I Love Rock and Roll" and "Crimson and Clover." The Police follow after a short intermission, playing many of their famous tunes to a creative light show that features light beams resembling two clam shells and very bright flashing lights that look much like camera flashes.

by Chuck Schmalz ('80) Who would think that two bands as different in style as Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and the Police would appear on the same stage on the same evening? The two groups will perform at Riverfront Coliseum on April 6, but I took the opportunity to see them in Indianapolis last Monday. The concert features not only the semicalypso, new-wave style of the Police, but also the hard rocking, almost punk performance of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. The concert itself is entertaining and well put together. The show opens of course with Joan Jett, who unsubtly dis-

two encores. Although the band sounded good, it was apparent that Sting, the band's lead singer, was beginning to lose his voice. Other than that, the show was musically sound. Other highlights include Sting's funky-looking bass, his dancing ability and the sideline entertainment of the audience which includes bizarre dress and fisticuffs between furious females.

Dixieland band leads circus Indian Hill's own Dixieland Band led the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus Parade last Tuesday, March 30. This was the first time in several years that an Indian Hill musical group has participated in a downtown pa-, rade and the first time an IH group has led the circus parade. The group, consisting of Tom Crumpler, Fred Goosman, Debbie Rozin, Jeff Sullivan, Brett Hubers, Bob Rhoad, and John Ries, spent forty-five minutes on a small, flatbed truck, bouncing their way from the train station, past fountain square, to Riverfront Coliseum, where the circus will be held. The musicians had some difficulties with high-velocity winds and bumpy roads. Tubist Tom Crumpler almost fell off the truck several times; and by the end of the parade, most of the music stands had fallen over, forcing the

The difference is that while Coke eventually loses its fizz, Robin seems endowed with a lifetime supply of natural carbonation. "Happy, friendly, bouncy and bubbly" are the words Robin Greiner uses to desmie herself. Possessing outgoing characteristics, it comes as no surprise that Robin likes people. In fact, Robin's favorite pastime is getting to know as many diverse people as she can. To get the diversity she likes, Robin has made a point of not hanging around one group of people, or being locked into a "cUue" She added ''I get a

whole different perspective from being with different people." Robin has few criteria for people she likes to be with, except that they have "something to say and are honest." Much of Robin's energy is funneled into her school activities, of which the most energy goes into her job as Student Government co-president. "I enjoy organizing and doing things for my school and community," commented Robin. Robin has gained as much personally through her involvement in Student Government as has the school and community. Robin has not only learned quite a bit about responsibility, but she now appreciates "the headaches administrators have," and that "the problems of this district are too big for any one student to han-

dle." Looking back over her accomplishments in Student Government so far, Robin feels that they deal more with people services than with other, more concrete areas. Robin has helped raise more money for charities this year than in any other year, and has made sure that such "people oriented" activities as the Big BrotherIBig Sister program are kept alive and well. In addition to her Student Government work, Robin has also been cheerleader throughout school. Robin, captain of this squad for two years, loves cheerleading because she can "jump up and down and act queer withbut anyone thinking I'm queer.'!

During college, Robin would like to study overseas, hopefully in either Paris or Geneva. Robin loves to travel, but not just to see the sights or to say that she's been there. Robin loves to travel because it provides her with the opportunity to meet new and interesting people. As can be seen, one cannot talk about Robin Greiner for very long without getting back to one basic: people. Robin's advice to her younger friends reflects this; "Get totally involved because you meet so many different kinds of people. And don't hang around the same group because you'll get stifled.'' For herself, Robin wants only to "do as much living as I can."

Probably, the height of his musical career thus far has been the recording of a record which he arranged and produced.

Often his work can be found in the Chieftain "Space" or in Bob West's thought pot. Last year he received an honorable mention in a national writing contest.

concert review

Joan Jeff, Police strut stuff at Indy plays her uncaring attitude about her "bad reputation" and life in general by jumping around much in the form of Joey Ramone for a little over thirty-five minutes. Her act was short and sweet, but she did manage to get in some of her more popular tunes such as "I Love Rock and Roll" and "Crimson and Clover." The Police follow after a short intermission, playing many of their famous tunes to a creative light show that features light beams resembling two clam shells and very bright flashing lights that look much like camera flashes. The Police play for a little over an hour a d a half and return for

by Chuck Schmalz ('80) Who would think that two bands as different in style as Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and the Police would appear on the same stage on the same evening? The two groups will perform at Riverfront Coliseum on April 6, but I took the opportunity to see them in Indianapolis last Monday. The concert features not only the semicalypso, new-wave style of the Police, but also the hard rocking, almost punk performance of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. The concert itself is entertaining and well put together. The show opens of course with Joan Jett, who unsubtly dis-

two encores. Although the band sounded good, it was apparent that Sting, the band's lead singer, was beginning to lose his voice. Other than that, the show was musically sound. Other highlights include Sting's funky-looking bass, his dancing ability and the sideline entertainment of the audience which includes bizarre dress and fisticuffs between furious females.

Such competitive activities are practical, realistic, and helpful as an educational experience for Ohio DECA members.

Dixieland band leads circus Indian Hill's own Dixieland Band led the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus Parade last Tuesday, March 30. This was the first time in several years that an Indian Hill musical group has participated in a downtown pa-, rade and the first time an IH group has led the circus parade. The group, consisting of Tom Crumpler, Fred Goosman, Debbie Rozin, Jeff Sullivan, Brett Hubers, Bob Rhoad, and John Ries, spent forty-five minutes on a small, flatbed truck, bouncing their way from the train station, past fountain square, to Riverfront Coliseum, where the circus will be held. The musicians had some difficulties with high-velocity winds and bumpy roads. Tubist Tom Crumpler almost fell off the truck several times; and by the end of the parade, most of the music stands had fallen over, forcing the

over the past seven months, the majority of Chieftain editorials have tried to point out some flaw in the surrounding world, from concrete aspects of the IH schools to general attitude problems.

place in courtrooms by John Bergman Several Chieftains back, I mbmitted a dticism of the way the press had handled the death of Natalie Wood. I emphasized my opinion that the press, like all othcl. citizens and in

this couney, is ccfreemonly in the boundary of certain laws. The past several weeks have brought a new debate concern~g the press on the scene. The issue is whether or not television cameras should be &owed in a courtroom. This is a question which is bound to create a lot of debate, as d &
cases should, in normal circumstances, be held in a publicly ac-

cesfl%le courtroom but not in fiont of an entire nation. Our court system is supposedly run so that "every man is innocent until proven gulltyT Most people think of this idea in terms of who

is sent t o jail md what he is war-

anteed before he can be sent there; namely, a "f& trial,"but having a vast number of people think-you are guilty is a G o s t a s bad asbeing legally indicted. Even without television in the courts. witnesses and defendants. guilty or innocent, are afraid of what might happen to them in the "real world" even if they are pronounced innocent by the system itself. Those who are not made nervous by the camera may quite understandably be distracted by the sight and constant noise of the Neither distraction --- - -machine. . .. -. . - nor nervousness should be knowhgly induced into the defendant's trial unless some greater good is accomplished. I do not believe there is. A defendant's guilt should be determined by an &Court jury or by a judge and the verdict should be submitted to the aublic: but x ---z ---the details o f t h e case, whicha jury is not even supposed to discuss outside of the court, should not be sent out of the courtroom unless by complete transcript. Editing of trials, fmding the right statements to put into a less than two minute time slot is even more potentially tragic. "Who gets to play God?" There is one area of law which I do feel should be televised; namely, the Supreme Court, the biggest kept secret in theunited States. We read about the Supreme Court in history books but most of us simply think of the justices as old, brilliant and, most importantly, very dignified gentlemen. I have heard one lawyer compare some Supreme Court cases to amateur night at the Met and say that the arguments were some of the simplest in all courts. This court, a court which deals with issues, not people, is something which the public deserves to see and, if the aforementioned description is correct, to be able to complain about. --

Coach Benken said of his team

Braves' bats slumber in early season games ~;;;h;;;;.bLw;;ly;~~~ "

by Mike Petraglia A shortened game and a fourrun fifth inning helped the Wyoming Cowboys to down Indi'an Hill, 6-1. Tu&av.. March 30 at Wvomz

ing.

Jed Donnell was the Braves' starting pitcher, and unlike the previous game, got errorless fielding. However, the tricky winds caused misjudgments for the fielders. Wyoming got its first two runs of the game in the second when a one-out walk and three consecutive base hits Combined for the

runs. Indian Hill moved into position to score its lone run of the game in the fifth when Donnell led off the inning with a base hit to center and Dave Hancher reached base one out later on an error. Dave Davis then singled Donnell in, and it was 2-1. That is as close as the Braves were to get. Wyoming exploded for four runs in their half of the fifth to make it 6-1. The game was called after five innings because of lightning and rain. That is nothing new to the

Braves, as they have already had theiT official opener washed out with Finneytown as well as a doubleheader last weekend with Turpin. Coach Jim Benken and his varsity Braves opened up the 1982 campaign last Monday, March 29. But nighmares of last year came back to haunt the team in a 9-3 loss at Loveland. Dave Hancher, the starter on the mound, pitched well enough to win, but the fielders behind him committed seven errors and resulted in many unearned runs.

pitching were fine, but our fielding had a lot left to be desired." The only highlight of the game for the Braves was a monstrous 425 foot homerun in the fourth by clean-up power man Doug Ulmer. Bill Carroll was on base to account for the other run on the blast. Dave Davis came on for a tired Dave Hancher in the bottom of the fourth and had the same terrible luck his predecessor had. Both of the runs charged to Davis in the sixth were unearned on account of three errors.

Strong doubles teams carrying tennis Braves by Craig ~ohnson The boys varsity tennis team won the consolation match in the Medina Tournament March 27. The Braves lost in the first round of the championship tourney to University High School. University's team is consistently ranked in the top ten in the nation. In fact, outside of this tournament, the school plays only colleges. However, the matches in the consolation tournament were not quite as difficult for the 5-1 Braves. In the team's first match they defeated Lima, 3-2. Sophomore BiU Poffenberger defeated his opponent in a long match 3-5, 6-2, 6-3. The first doubles team of Charlie Hall and Jon Kitei won, 6-2, 6-4 while the second doubles team of Peter Graham and Steve Tipp outlasted their opponents, 4-6,6-2,6-2. In the next round, the team defeated Geneva, 3-2, for the consolation championship. Once again Poffenberger won, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Both doubles teams also score victories. Hall and Kitei won, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 while Graham and Tipp handily defeated their opponents, 6-0, 6-1. Throughout the tourney, consistent doubles play led the way. Princeton fell victim to the Braves' lineup Wednesday, losing, 4-1. Senior Mark Craig won, 1-6, 6-2, 7-6 while Poffenberger glided to a 6-2,6-1 win. Once again, the doubles teams played superbly. Hall and Kitei won, as did Graham and Tipp, scoring 6-4,6-3 victories. The Braves crushed Aiken Tuesday, 5-0. In singles, Craig

won 6-1, 6-0, as well as Bi Skidmore who won 6-1, 6-1. Poffenberger whipped his opponent, 6-0, 6-0 while both doubles teams scored 6-0, 6-0 victories. The Braves came up with a big win last Friday by defeating Westerville, 3-2. At third singles Poffenberger won 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. In doubles, Hall and Kitei won, 6-1,6-2 while the second doubles team of Graham and Tipp were victorious, 6-3, 6-2.

sports quiz

Good fish biting in Queen City in April by Dwight Poffenberger With spring break just hours away, many Indian Hill students fmd themselves headed on a jet for Ft. Lauderdale or the Bahamas to lie out in the sun and maybe do a little fishing. The others find themselves stuck in luke-warm, dreary Cincinnati being bored without beaches or enormous fish. But that's only half true. Believe it or not, good fishing can be found in the Queen City in early spring. A typical Cincinnati fisherman fishes fann ponds for bass in the summer, but that is about all. If one asks him if good springtime fishing exists here, he would probably reply "No, not until about June." But here is where his pond isn't fulfy stocked. Good, healthy fish can easily be caught in April if you know where to go. First off, if you would like to take home a couple tasty rainbow trout, you should head out to the nearest paylake. These lakes can

be found all over Cincinnati and are open toward the middle of March. Up until early May, these lakes stock hundreds of pounds of hungry rainbow trout weighing between one and two pounds. These trout are reared on protein pellets in nearby hatcheries and can be caught on any small type of bait. Worms, corn, cheese, marshmallows, artificial lures, and best of all, live minnows tempt these trout. For Indian Hill students I would recommend going to nearby Lake Isabella, Lake Remington or Buckskin Lake. On Friday evenings, ads for these lakes can be found in the sports section of the CincinnatiPost. Cincinnati's most popular gamefish, the largemouth bass, also known as bigmouth, can also be caught this time of year. Though the water is colder than bass like, they will still feed. Normally large mouth prefer water temperature in the 703, but they wiU feed in the high 503, which is more likely in April. I

have found that the best early season bass lures are bottomhugging crankbaits. One of the most successful ones for me has been one called the Cisco kid. Since the fish are sluggish in the cold water, it helps to retrieve the bait slowly. Bass are not nearly as energetic in the colder water. Also a pork rind or some type of trailer on the bait will attract more bass than a plain lure this time of the year. Another successfull early season bass bait is a rubber worm jiggled slowly off the bottom. Purple and black are the most productive colors. Besides largemouth bass and trout, other species can be easily bagged in April. One of my favorites, the black or white crappie, falls easy prey to a small minnow fished around brush this time of year. Cincinnati may not be the fishing capital of America, but if you look hard enough, you can find plenty of fun fishing right here even in April.

Trackers hopeful despite low finish in relays by Paul Monach The Sycamore Relays, held Monday, March 29, have come and gone, having shown stxong points and areas that need work. Overall, coach Bob West was encouraged by the performance, saying, "Even though we frnished tenth out of ten teams in our division, I am very hopeful about the success of this team. After all, we were the smaest school in our group." some of the events were es-

pecially promising. The field events were strong, especially in the pole vault where Dave Rhodenbaugh placed sixth with an 11foot 6 inch jump. In the shotput, Craig Carman and Chip Greenlee placed sixth also, both with a throw of 4 1feet 10 inches. West was also impressed with the short distances.

Three Indian k{ill athletes r eceive ath 1eti sc h 1a rs hips MW Brainard, Mike Gruber and Craig Carman were recently granted partial athletic scholarships to universities in their respective sports. Brainard will attend Ohio State University while playing field hockey under varsity coach Harriet Reynolds. Ohio State will pay for room, books and board. "I'm really glad I'm going to get to play," Brainard said. "Starting doesn't mean that much; I just want a chance to play." Reynolds indicated that the 14 goal scorer would play defense next fall and likely earn a varsity letter. Gruber, Ohio's two-time defending state diving champion, will attend the university of

Michigan this fall on a two-thirds scholarship. Last year Gruber won by a razor's edge over Vandalia Butler's Tim Schwartz, but this year he rolled to a much easier victory. He will be under the direction of former Olympic coach Dick Kimball at Michigan. Craig Carrnan will be headed to Georgetown College in Kentucky next year on a one-half football scholarship. Braves coach Gene Brindise said the division I1 school will be looking at Catman as an offensive and defensive lineman. Based on his performance, Carrnan can increase the size of his scholarship. Carman is forty-fifth player to gain a scholarshit, under Brindise &I 13 years of varsity coaching.

Drama C l u b p l a y ranks superior ,

by Gus Gordon Indian Hill Drama Club's awatd winning play, "Tell Me a Story, Sing Me a Song," has done it again. The play received the only superior rating at the Ohio Theatre Alliance play festival last weekend in Columbus. In addition to the superior rating, the play's two stars, juniors Stacey Labahn and Lainey Kahlstrom, also received awards. Kahlstrom was named as one of the three superior actors of the conference and Labahn was named to the all state cast. "It felt great!" commented Labahn. "Tell Me a Story, Sing Me a Song" was just one of the 10 plays that participated in the festival. To qualify, each play had get a superior rating in each of their respective districts. The festival itself started at noon Friday, March 26 and lasted till 6:00 Saturday. During this time the participants were treated to a number of classes in the art of theatre productions, special events, parties, and of course, numerous plays. "The idea of having a festival of plays was really great," stated stage manager Craig Mullaney. "It's something that Indian Hill should keep going to in the future." Miss Mary Berwanger, sponsor of the Drama Club and the play's director, was in attendance as were many Drama Club members and parents of those involved. "The support that the members gave Lainey and Stacey was great." stated Miss Berwanger. "It helped them to know their friends were supporting them ." "I couldn't believe it!" said Kahlstrom. "It was one of the best moments of my life." More recently, Drama Club has finished auditions for their final production of the year, Neil Simon's The Good Doctor. The production stars John Lilly in the title role. The play consists of nine short sketches, each representing a short story written by the Good Doctor during the course of the

I

play. With so many sketches, the play has a fairly large cast. In addition, people who have been extras in past plays will now have a chance to perform in dramatically demanding roles. Miss Berwanger commented on the tryouts: "We had a great flowering

of talent." The IH Drama Club presented a production of The Good Doctor in the winter of 1977, while schools were closed, students attended split-sessions, and Indian Hill facilities experienced a dearth of heat. Miss Berwanger said, "I

came out of rehearsals with frostbite. . . the May sunshine is going to be a contrast." Aiding the production from the technical end will be assistants Mrs. Shannon, the set designer for Pow-Wow, Beth Robinette, a graduate and former Thespian of IH, and I H a Brenda McDonald; stage manager Scott Kroeger; and tech crew John Brumleve and Ken Barthel. Perfomance dates are May 6 and 8.

Permanent operating levy facing IH June 8 by Nancy Hopple The Indian Hi Board of Education passed a motion at its March 23 meeting to place an 8.63-mill permanent operating levy on the June 8 primary election ballot for the IH school district. According to Board Treasurer Mr. Harold Bush, as it stands the IH district faces a possible 1983 deficit of $1.8 million. With passage of the levy the district would receive additional funding of approximately $1.8 million to balance the budget. Bush attriiuted a major portion of the projected 1983 deficit to the state budget cuts in school funding, although he added that the district would have required some additional funds for next year even without the reduction in state aid. Through budget cuts so far,

the Indian Hill district has lost $400,000 of its estimated $850,000 of state aid for 1982, with more cuts expected. MI. ush pointed out that 4 pills of t e proposed levy are needed to replace state funding alone. The Board had agreed earlier at its March 9 meeting to place the levy on the ballot but waited until two days before the County board of elections' March 25 deadline for submission of tax issues to decide on the millage of the levy. The reason for this was the Board's wish for the most current information on state budget cuts before deciding the amount of the Thelevy. total operating budget for

Y

the four school Indian Hill district amounts to approximately $6,960,000. The $1.8 million which the proposed 8.63-mill levy would raise makes up a substan-

tial 25% of the district's budget. According to Bush, if the levy is approved the $1.8 million would be used to maintain the current functions of the district. To the individual home and property owner in the IH school district, the 8.63-mill levy translates into $8.63 in additional taxes for each $1,000 of the home's assessed value. However, the value of the home is assessed at approximately 35% of its actual selling price. The total value of homes and property in the school district has been assessed at $214 million. If the proposed levy does not pass, the effects on the school district would be severe. Mr. Bush indicated that there is a plan making reductions in the present programs to compensate for the financial deficit if the millage is not passed.
