Arnold's JV Braves by Mike BetragIia Coach Jim Arnold is hoping to have as good of a record as last year's 13-7 JV basketball squad. Arnold will be in a new position with the JV team. Coach Bob West retired from that post at the end of last season, so Arnold moved up from the freshman level. Frank Bunton wilI take over the freshman Braves. This year's team will consist of , ten members. The Braves will need ptayers to develop by asserting themselves as rebounders. The three sophomores who are expected to. fulfill this role are John Kitel Dan Kremchek and Glenn Armitrage, a transfer from Cincinnati Country Day. In an effort to get prepared for the 1981-82 campaign, the Braves have tried to schedule three scrimmages, but they have been able to play just one. The scrimmage against Aiken was can-

Senior powderpu The seniors once again upheld Indian Hill tradition by beating the junior powderpuffers, 20-16, Monday in front of a sleepy crowd of 70. The game was plagued by rain and sloppy playing conditions, which has also become a powderpuff tradition. Each of the team's massive squads came close to the endzone but failed to score in the first half. The fans were treated to some real entertainment at halftime. The pep band gave an awe-inspiring performance with their colorful marching, and the cheerleaders joined the effort to make the performance a success. Both teams became more aggressive in the second half. The players made several tackles as the

play became a little bit more chippy The seniors drew ?%st blood early in the second half, but the juniors took the lead on a touchdown and a conversion, 8-6. The seniors finally realized the best way to the end zone was by running the sweep. Two drives in the fourth quarter ended on a touchdown runs to the outside. The scores for the seniors were by Julie Budig, Sheila Chalmers and Lisa Goldsmith. The juniors scored again late in the game when Angela Farley scooted in and then added the conversion. Time ran out on the juniors' hopes when the seniors killed the clock with two minutes left.

IH to acquire cable t.v., possible studio by John Christine Warner Amex Cable Communieations, Inc. will be connecting cable television to the high school media center sometime around December 1. According -- to Mr. Earl Snapp, IHHS public relations director, the future installation is a result of the franchise established in 1979 when the Indian Hill Village signed a contract with Warner. The franchise will cover the cost of the cable. A committee, which was set up in September by the Board of Education, is in the process of deciding on the possibility of a cable t.v. studio. The studio, Snapp says, would enable students to learn how to operate filming and taping equipment and transmit programs to other schools. "Its potential is mind-boggling," Snapp says The eight-member committee will decide upon whether to have the studio or not after the first of January. According to Snapp, the students would be able to film almost anything and send it anywhere via the "C-loop." The Cloop is the cable which surrounds the Indian Hill School District. Through the cable, students will he able to transmit shows to any

IN. school, Indian Hill, and Kenwood residents, and Country Day School. The loop will eventually be connected to all the schools in Hamilton County that are served by Warner Annex.

endless. Students could tape important events and meetings ' at school. Also, the camera could film sporh events or .any event putside of the school. Besides having the chance to learn how to use the equipment, students might also get the opportunity to work as an apprentice at Warner Amex, Snapp said. Part of the reason the board committee was set up was to discuss the cost of the studio. Warner Amex has already agreed in franchise that they would supply some of the equipment, but the cost that IHHS would pay has not yet been disclosed. Without the studio, programs will be taped in the Media Center as they are now. "It will be used all day for taping programs for various use in the classroom," Snapp said. If the plan for a studio is brought up the cable t.v. would be moved to the studio. I J i ~ t ithen l the taping will be done in the Media Center. Head librarian Miss Eloise Ralz expressed the value of the system to IH and said, "It will have a wealth of material for us." She also said that she was in favor of the studio and noted the career possibilities for those using the equipment.

National Honor Society to induct new members this morning by Kitsa Tassian National Honor Society conducts its sixth annual induction of juniors and seniors this morning in the high school auditorium. Students eligible for consideration must have maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better for at least four consecutive semesters. After this requirement is met, evaluation forms are sent to all teachers who have taught the prospective inductees. They are evaluated in terms of character, services completed, and leadership qualities. A committee consisting of department chairpersons, counselors, and the NHS adviser, Mrs. Elizabeth Ackley, collaborate to

discuss each student's evaluation and recommendations. The committee then dicides which students to induct but withholds the names of the new members up until the ceremony Wednesday morning. However, the committee does notify the parents of the students who are to be inducted so that they may attend the induction ceremony. The ceremony itself will be presented to all sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the auditorium. With Mrs. Ackly as this year's new NHS advisor, induction procedures will be slightly different than in previous years. This year, present NHS members

are going to work in pairs to introduce the new members. While one reads the description of the inductee, the other seeks him or her out in the audience. To further the suspense, the name of the inductee is withheld until the conclusion of the description. Once recognized, the inductees will receive a NHS pin and membership card. The card gives the member the privilege of free passage in the building during a study hall. This, however, is a privilege which can be revoked if a member's grade point average falls below 3.5, as their grades are checked quarterly to insure maintenance of academic excellence.

Furthermore, one teacher will b e elected as an honorary member by present members. After a brief reception in the library for new members and their parents, a lunch is given in their honor. This year, the luncheon will be held at Steak and Ale. "It's a lot of work because the kids can't help me after the selection has been made," stated Elizabeth Ackley about organizing the ceremony. "I think it is a very important assembly because it is the only assembly during the entire school year that time from the school day is taken to recognize and encourage academic achievement," she added.

to start December 6

by Fred Goosman The varsity and JV wrestling teams have begun their quest for the EHL title. But this year, the team takes on a new look with three new coaches: Ron Webber, Jim Collins and Tim Distler. After some rather dismal teams in the past, the coaches are working to rebuild the Indian Hill wrestling program. "We enjoy wrestling," remarked one coach. "We just want everyone to live up to his potential. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, we just would like to develop individual and school pride." The coaches pointed to Greg McDaniel and John Nichols as the high of - points the team. The main weaknesses for the team will be its lack of people, as well as inexperience. "One of our goals is to create a close-knit

Brindise aired his gripes about the students' lack of enthusiasm. Dr. Feltman followed by shouting his disapproval at the crowd.~Each of the men called for applause for the athletes. The students' response was, predictably, lethargic. Some may feel this issue would be better off untouched and disregarded. But it will not simply go away. Whether Brindise and Feltman went about voicing their opinions properly is debatable. What is obvious is that they were not wrong in criticizing students for not caring. Very few schools, especially AAA schools as small as Indian Hill, can boast of sending three teams to state competition in one season. I would venture to guess that less than half the

But we are beginning another season. A chance to redeem our f a e n spirit. No one can promise a state championship for a school that supports its teams, but without support, it makes the road quite a bit more difficult. If for no other reason, we need to attend sports events because we are part of the school. The teams' uniforms say "Indian Hill," not "The Basketball Team" or "The Tennis Team." The teams represent all of us. As Brindise said at the pep rally, there are two battles at the games. One on the field, and one in the stands. We can always assure ourselves the victory in the bleachers. It is apride. matter of choice and a matter of

people in school can name the three we sent this fall. Claiming "I don't like sports" or "Who wants to ~sit out in the cold?" is not what it's all about. It's more than that. When we brag of our superiority to other schools, we start with sports. This fall we had more chances than ever. This is not the big time. No one gets any more than personal satisfaction from participating in high school sports. That is why fans are so important. Any athlete will tell you, an enthusiastic crowd or a wish of good luck is just as important as a teammate. Being number one is a collective proposition. I am not asking anyone to become an unwilling sports fanatic.

by Kurt Dusterberg Winning the Eastern Hills League championship is "first and foremost" in Coach Dale McKibben's mind right now. Just how his basketball team will accomplish that may be another story. Last year when the "Battlin' Braves" captured the league trophy, they had good size in their forwards and plenty of point-getters. This year, the team has not been blessed with quite the same talent. Only two players will be returning for varsity duty this season. Dave Hancher and Terry Healey, who both saw plenty of duty last season, will have to fill the team's leadership role as nine new members round out the roster. "We are going to have to rely

on the past tradition at Indian Hill in the early going," McKibben said. "I don't know how that will translate as to whether or not we get some wins." McKibben is not banking on tradition alone. He says, "I never go into a season not expecting tc win." So, in order to preserve the tradition, Braves' fans will see a new twist in the team's play. "We've altered our style somewhat," he said. "There will be more pressing and we will try to spread out the floor, which should be to our advantage. We want to prevent against being overpowered and play more of a running game so we can hopefully make easier shots." Along with the Braves, McKibben expects to see Madeira

and Sycamore vie for the league's top spot. Milford and Glen Este should be right behind, which will make for a strong league season. Despite the Braves 12-2 finish in the EHL last year, the Braves struggled in their nonleague games. But, the Braves' coach feels the games against teams like Turpin, Forest Park and Mt. Healthy are needed to prepare the Braves for the EHL season. The Braves wiU play their first home game this Saturday against Finneytown. Indian Hill tips off their defense of the league crown Friday, December 4, at Loveland. Besides Hancher and Healey the squad will consist of Kriss Ashing, Jim Arnold, Dave Davis, Dave Havlovic, Jim Morgan, Chuck Westhofen, Todd Goldman, and Jay Kohls.

"I think we should place second or third ln the league, or better. It all depends on how strong the young players are and how hard the rest of the team wants to work." stated girls's varsity basketball coach Dick Pfirman. . During the season, Coach Pfixrnan will be depending on the seniors for leadership. "The loss of Melissa Pope and Chris Cucinatta really hurt us. When they left we lost 60% of our scoring," Pfuman stated. Last year, the girls' basketball team posted its best record ever. They finished their season at 145. This year the Squaws will have a twenty game season. Pfirman

Most of the team's strength will come from the seniors, including Leslie Mains, Lisa Goldsmith, Mary Brainard, Betsy Esterly , and Diane Kohmescher. Of the team's chances, Mains said, ''I think we will probably get first or second in the league." The Squaws opened their season yesterday at Forest Park, a new team on the Squaws' schedule. Indian Hill's first league game will be at Milford Thursday, December 10. All of the JV Squaws' games begin at 6:00 p.m. with varsity following. The games will be played on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

FOOTBALL Indian Hill's worst varsity football season came to an end three weeks ago with a disappointing 35-6 loss to Anderson. On a night of freezing temperatures at Indian Hill, the Braves could not get their offense uncorked. The loss dropped the Braves to 1-9 overall and 0-7 in the Eastern Hills League. Anderson did all its scoring in the fust quarter, and rolled up two more touchdowns in second. The Braves finally broke up the shutout when Greg McDaniel plunged in to the end zone late in the fourth quarter.

by Liza Mitchell Forty-six students and tive teachers left November 10 for the College of Mount St. Joseph to begin their peer counseling retreat. Many of the participants had no idea what their peer counseling experience would be like. All they had ever heard was "It will be one of the greatest experiences of your life. You will never forget it." And a great experience is just what it turned out to be. The thirty-one trainees learned things that would stick with them for the rest of their lives. They learned to deal with their own problems more easily and they also learned to help their peers deal with their problems. The trainees practiced their listening skills, and the methods of counseling over their fortyeight hour period. Several speakers came and lectured on topics such as death, divorce, and sex. Mr. Robert Browning, a conselor at Wyandot

of death and how to deal wth the loss of someone close. Reverand James Metzger spoke about changes in the family such as divorce and Ms. Besecker discussed the topic of psycho-sexual development. Mr. Doug Hammond, first year peer counseling sponsor, felt the retreat went "pretty well." "There was an obvious growth among the students which is great," he added. "The Peer Counseling Program has been a source of personal growth for me by giving me the chance to define my personal values and also to build my selfesteem to a positive level," stated peer counselor Sarah Leonard. Wednesday, November 18, an additional fifty students traveled to the College of Mount St. Joseph to begin their counseling session. Two retreats were needed due to the fact that the Peer Counseling Program has tripled since its beginning in

by Paul Smith Senior John Ries was named a finalist in the 1981 National Council of Teachers of English Achievement in Writing Contest early in November. Ries competed with 7000 other students from high schools across the country, and in American Schools abroad in order to receive this honor. Ries and senior Rod Barr were nominated last spring by Mrs. Ackley to represent Indian Hill. In order to be considered, both submitted a sample of their best writing and an impromptu essay. These works were evaluated b y state judging-teams of both high school and college English teachers. When the final judgements were made, approximately 850 finalists were selected. Of these winners, it is rare to have more than one from a single high school. Ries suggested that this could have been why both did not win. John Ries is one of ten consecutive winners from Indian Hill. "This reflects. the fact that our English department is strong in writing," he commented.

The essays were submitted in February, and by November, Barr and Ries were worried that they had broken the tradition. "I was getting nervous that neither Rod nor I had won, but I was extremely happy when I got home from school and saw that envelope," Ries said. The National Council of Teachers of English is a professional organization consisting of members from all levels of instruction. The goal of the council is to increase the effectiveness of teachers in teaching the English language and literature in the nation's schools and colleges. NCTE furnishes such teaching aids as books and recordings, and it publishes several professional journals such as College English and English Journal. NCTE also recommends the award finalists for college admission and scholarships. Their names we sent to admissions offices and English department chairpersons at over 3000 U. S. colleges and universities, so the award should help Ries get into the college of his choice, which is Harvard.

'Mice paranoia' hits Chieftain by J& Chieftain Due to an influx of little gray mice (with cute little dog-like eyes) Chieftain has felt the pressures of "mice paranoia." First to fall from this dreaded disease was editor Bob Kindel. "Oh, Eeek - eek," he screamed. At first, staffers thought this to be one of Kindel's numerous, but harmless, pranks. But, after features editor Richard "Mo" Stradling (he's the one who said it had "cute little dog-like eyes") saw it,

the mouses' disputed resiaency wasaconfirmed. "What are we going to do with it," posed Mr. Boss Kincaid, Chieflain's sponsor. "Kill it, kill it," shouted little Bobby Kindel. "Send it to Legend," stated Jay "Sanka" Schloss. "Let it live," said environmentalist Mo Stradling. "Let's make a Chieftain hurALlrlg pah-Iy, catch it, and rnakt it our very own mascot," said Chris Schmalz. And that's just what Chieftain plans to do.

by John Ries and Chis Schmalz Since the beginning, the powderpuff football game has always been an occasion for high spirits and intense rivalry. However, many have remarked that this year, "It went a bit too far." According to one, powderpuff football players vandalized appproximately twenty-six cars Monday morning. The day's events that lead t o the vandalism began with a breakfast for the junior team at Lynn Barton's house. As juniors were leaving Barton's house, two cars full of senior powderpuff players arrived, uninvited. The seniors then sprayed the juniors and their cars with dishwashing liquid. None of the powderpuffers objected strongly to this action, though. " I thought it was fun," stated senior Leslie Devitt. But, when the teams arrived in the high school parking lot, severa eggs were vollyed between juniors and seniors, according to Leslie Devitt. The junior team then

went inside the school where upon members of the senior team egged, soaped, cottage cheesed, marshmallowed and chocolate syruped several of the juniors' cars.

'I h d - a t least eight eggs on my car, and '

chocolate syruo was: dripped all over' Leslie Devit claims that the juniors threw the first eggs, but several juniors denied this. In any case, several cars were damagedi Junior Suzy Schutty for one said that "I had at least eight eggs on my car, and chocolate syrup was dripped all over." Also, long key scratches were found on j u n i o ~ Anne Edelburg's car, which will cause her t o have her car painted again. After the juniors found out about damage done t o their cars, they cleaned them up in the parking lot and at local car-washes.

This past week, the Service Committee has been busy working on the traditional Thanksgiving project. Homeroom competition was held with doughnuts awarded to the homeroom which collected the most canned goods and money. The food will be sent to the Free Store, while the

money will 'be donited to the World Fast for Hunger. In order to raise money for the Christmas project, the Service Committee will once again sponsor the annual Elf Auction. Students and faculty will be auctioned as elves to willing buyers of the student body. The elves have to perform menial tasks during the day for their "masters." The proceeds from the auction will be donated to a local charity. In addition to the traditional

edit ori a1 "I couldn't believe it. It was offensive." Comments such as this following the November 6th pep rally honoring senior athletes have spawned a reaction to the banal issue of "spirit" and pep rallies, which we at Chieftain felt never merited space on an editorial page. However, the attitudes expressed at this pep rally were appalling if not downright insulting, and they warrant response. From most accounts, this pep rally was a circus. It is one thing to recognize senior athletes for participating in a lengthy fall sport season. Indeed, they deserve it. Yet, it is another to subject the student body to abusive shouting and the accusation that they aren't "man enough" ., to -go out for the football team. T~ round-out this pep rally, students were not allowed to leave until they "shook the rafters cheering." In the future, pep- rally leaders in the interest of saving- their voices might want to consider pointing guns at the crowd and politely requesting "spirit ." When are student leaders, administrators, and coaches going - - to realize that they cannot force a ''rah, rah, wearing red and white spirit" upon the students? They must understand that this type of spirit corl'les from one's inner-self. Some people naturally are more with their emotions and desires; others are not. Moreover, students may choose to show their "spirit" for their school in other forms rather than screaming "Go Braves." Can we chastise a Drama Club member, having put many hours into a drama production, or a Legend - editor. dedicating- hours of free time to page lay-ou ts, for not showing their spirit by jumping around singing cheers? Are they not displaying "spirit" for their school of a different kind? we must stop demanding vocal school spirit of our student body - We must stop condemning our students for not having- "spirit." If the attitude.$ conveyed at the ~ o v e m b e r6 pep rally are to contin;;, school spirit, as a former student wrote, "will die as it lies in its chains." ,

new activity which will benefit the American Lung Association. Student volunteers will sell paper ornaments that will be hung on Christmas trees at the Kenwood Mall. Anyone wishing to volunteer should contact Kris Brockman. An activity which requires a lot of student participation is the weekly orphanage visit. We encourage all interested students to volunteeer. In up-coming weeks, we will be sponsoring programs which involve large numbers of people. Our plans include a soccer clinic, a field hockey clinic

and a Christmas craft session. Not only is the Service Committee busy with projects, but the other committees are also planning activities. For example, the Exchange Committee will be having an exchange with Deer Park on December 9. Sign-up sheets will be posted in the lobby for students who are interested. Beginning December 3, SG will be sponsoring a new project which will involve student input. Every Thursday during 5th period a SG member will be available in the Peer Counseling room of the SSC to answer students' questions and to listen to new ideas. We hope to see you involved in our holiday activities. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! I

31x perrod day peculiarlyn ut?/'rdea by John Bergman It may be hard for many of us to start thinking now about the school Year of 1982-1983, but school administrators, along with the Board of Education, are already at work On that very subject, collecting ideas like squirrels co~ectin.nutsfor thewinter. ~ e l l , ~ t h e ~ kicking 're around an idea now that strikes me as being peculiarly nutty. The idea arises from the fact that state re,ubements will make it necessary for Indian ill School to have three more minutes of lab time per day during the school year of 1982-1983 than it has now. This ,ill make it nece~~ar,to add three minutes to each and every

p e r ~ , " e O f ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Uis,e s t i O n is Indian Hill High going to manufacture those extra three minutes?" One answer being Considered is a six period day that would last the same amount of time as the present seven period

day- This add more than seven minutes to each period. I submit that this plan creates more problems than it solve?' Many students, including myself, acawill be taking five demic courses, adding in another period for such courses as Health, Driver's Education and Physical Education. It would be impossible for these students to take a full-year classes such as band, other Or students will have to take six academic courses during at least one of the next three years.

Furthermore, there are people who entered Indian Hill High School when the schedule was seven periods long. They planned accordingly, and changing their schedule now w u create add& tional problemsLastly, but certainly not least imuortantlv. - , the music proaam - w ~ lin, all probabilty, suffer greatly if this plan is put into effect. Music classes, particularly Music Theory, would be among the first to go. ~t best, the classes would exist outside of the school day and participants would, therefore, receive no school credit for their efforts. There are presently close to two hundred students involved in band, choir and orchestra. I do not believe that even half that number could be expected to barticipate if the classes were extracurricular. I hope that 1 do not need to convince anyone that arts of all kinds are an essential part o f a well-rounded education. I suggest that there is a way to solve the extra time problem without creating- the additonal problems listed above. If homeroom time was omitted (it didn't even exist ten years ago), only thriteen minutes would have to be added at the end of the day. If fifteen minutes were added, the extra two minutes could be used for announcements. Attendance could be taken during the fust period and sent to the office. As I see it, an extra fifteen minutes a day isn't going to hurt anyone. A six period day, on the other hand, will hurt many.

disc review

Young's 'Reactor' a reversa by Peter Can Neil Young's newest album, Reactor, is easily summed up to be this; good, simple hard rock. Ignoring his well-known acoustic talent, Neil attacks his Gibsol Les Paul with a ferocity that leaves the listener wondering if this is the same musician who produced the country music-oriented album, Hawks and Doves, less than one year ago. Yet the high, quivering vocals that have become Young's trademark remind us that this is the same Neil Young we have known since his 1965 debut with the Buffalo Springfield. Indeed, nearly every cut on Reactor in some way can be traced to other works produced by Young throughout his career. The opening cut, "Opera Star," of this Young's fifteenth solo album is a fast-moving track that is similar to a Buffalo Springfield tune also by Neil Young entitled "Mr. Soul." In both, the life of a rock

and roll superstar is depicted as being sad and lonely. Although "Opera Star" lacks the poetic lyrics of "Mr. Soul," the driving lead guitar of the former appeals to the listener. Young even delicately lifted a recurring melody in "Mr. Soul" and applied it to a solo in "Opera Star." Indeed, a3l of the cuts on Young's album with his back-up band, Crazy Horse, lack the artistic lyrics of songs like "Sugar Mountain." In fact, in the longest piece on the album, "T-Bone," tracking nine minutes and fourteen seconds, Young simply repeats the two lines "Go mashed Potatoes" and "Ain't got no Tbone" over and over again. Although the main purpose of the track is to highlight Young's prowess on the electric guitar, the expected accompanying lyrics of similar lengthy pieces like "Down by the River" and "Cortez the killer." On Reactor, Young aborts all

disc review

Rush cuts another live album by Pate Williams My initial reaction when asked to review the new live Rush album Exit Stage Left was mixed. Could Rush keep up their aboveaverage musicianship on a live album? After all, to follow Moving Pictures is not an easy task. After hearing the album, though, my doubts were ungrounded. The double live album opens with "Spirit of Radio," a brightly flowing tune with smooth tempo changes that have become the trademark of the trio. Geddy Lee, the group's lead vocalist, has a slow start in meshing his unique voice with the intricate background. He adequately regains control, though, by the end of second song, "Red Barchetta." This melodic tune surprisingly takes on a slower tempo than the studio version, rather than the normal up-tempo of most concert recordings. However, slower tempos seem to be the order of the day on this live recording. "Tom Sawyer," "Passage to Bangkok," and "Y YZ," which contains an inspiring percussion solo by Neil Peart, are all performed at a down tempo. Throughout the album, Rush does not cease to entertain the

listener with their select style of music. These three individuals blend to form a multidimentional group. From the instrumentally sound "YYZ," to the inspiring vocals displayed in Closer to the Heart their muscial prowess assures the listener of their expertise. If there is one element that makes the album special, it would have to be the lyrics. Neil Peart's extensive knowledge of the English language helps to intensify the strong themes present in the majority of songs. Peart, the composer of most of these songs, rarely makes use of trite sayings, but rather establishes his own style of lyrics. The usual method of coinciding the muscial phrase with the lyrical phrase does not usually appear throughout the album. Rush has no qualms about running a lyrical phrase into a second musical phrase likc free verse poetry. This is a true mark of their musical ability. All in all, Rush has taken a great many strides. From the trying days of "Working Man," to the present, with its stylish "Red Barchetta," Exit Stage Left is a pleasing new entry.

previous efforts to establish himself as a country artist. The female harmonies of Nicolette Larson and Linda Rondstadt so evident on such albums as Harvest and Comes a Time are replaced by the rougher back-ups of Crazy Horse. The prevailing distortation on Reactor can be traced to his two recent albums, Rust Never Sleeps and Live Rust. Although similar in distortation, these three albums differ in that Young does not bother to record any of his brilliant solo, 12-string acoustic work like that found on the latter two on the newest. Instead, he packs the album with 39 minutes of gusty rock and roll tunes like "Surfer Joe and Moe the Sleaze," destined to become the album's hit single. Here, Young sings, "Come on down for a pleasure cruise/ We're all goin on a pleasure cruise. . ./ Plenty of booze," portraying the theme of hedonism rarely found in Young's works but appealing to modern audiences. Flipping the album to side two, the listener encounters a technique rarely found in Young's songs - background sound effects. These effects are found on the "Southern Pacific" in the form of a train whistle and can be later heard in "shots" in the form of machine-gun fire. The second cut of the second side, "Rapid Transit," is perhaps the most unique of the album. Although a bit harsh in the vocals, with Young's voice being strained in the upper octaves, it is amusing to hear Young trill words like "Rrrrrrrrapid transit ," "Mmmeltdown ," and "Ccccccontainment" to express his fear of nuclear power. The pounding rhythm adds to the excitement of the piece. As a protest song, how-

ever, it cannot compare with Young's views of the Kent State murders found in "Ohio." The Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young freak will be disappointed in finding no slow, sweet songs such as "Helpless" on the new album. Reactor consists only of fast-moving pieces. Perhaps this is because Young has found a new audience in distortion~riented songs such as "Hey Hey My My" of Hawks and Doves met with little commercial success, and perhaps Young is hungry for some of that money evident in the sales of the Rust series. Fans of distortion will take a liking to Young's new album which may, unfortunately, put him in league with bands such its AC-DC. Whatever the case, Neil Young is long overdue for a live tour, and hopefully the heavy metal sound of Reactor that would pack concert halls is a forewarning of an international tour by Young and Crazy Horse. Reactor is not a decent example of the range of Neil Young's many talents. Lacking potent I y r i ~ sand acoustic guitar, it only concentrates on the heavy metal side of the musician. A strong beat, improved solo techniques, and decent studio sound absent on many of his other albums is demonstrated by Young on Reactor, showing the listener that Young is still growing. The album is an improvement of the weak Hawks and Doves, and perhaps Young fans can look forward t o a future album combining his hard rock talent with his slower music, containing acoustic work and insightful lyrics. As evident from the musician's broad range of growth and progression, "My My Hey Hey ," Neil Young is here t o stay.

Outdoors sho e s Elliston 's lifestyle ,,;:y;h:p~:y: ,

by Richard Stradling Indian Hill High School is fortunate to have a faculty composed of teachers who redly care about what they are doing. A prime example of such a teacher is Rowley Elliston. Mr. Elliston has been teaching at IH for ten years, but his teaching career began at the Cincinnati Nature Center. As an assistant director at the nature center, Mr. Elliston instructed both teachers and kids and found he really enjoyed teaching. During his career at IH, Mr. Elliston has been involved in many activities including peer counseling. As a "faculty member of peer counseling,'' Mr. Elliston feels the program "pushes the limits of my involvement and gives me the opportunity to meet and get to know students 1 might not otherwise meet." Besides peer counseling, Mr. Elliston is the faculty advisor for the ecology club. He assumed this position because of his interest in the club's recycling center a number of years back. As the center changed from recycling to junk collection and the project became a chore, the club transformed itself into an "outing club." "Now we're working on

Mr. Elliston's interest in ecology stems from the joy he find in the outdoors and outdoor activities. Skiing, rock climbing, hiking, canoeing and camping all rank high on his list of hobbies. "We go to New England every year where my family owns an island off of Maine," Mr. Elliston

said. "But since my son came along, our travelling has been curtailed." The Ellistons live on a rural eight acre lot at the entrance to the Cincinnati Nature Center. Mr. Elliston enjoys listening to classical music on WGUC, English and Irish folk music and sometimes WWEZ's brand of music. He maintains, though, that he doesn't dislike hard rock, but "you can't listen to every-

movie review

'Ti me Bandits' succeeds with comedy, adventure Time Bandits rated PC Chieftain rating: **% by Gus Gordon Take one part Star Wars, one part The Hobbit, one part Wizard o f O z , a big dose of British humor and what do you get? Time Bandits, a wonderful new movie made by Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin of the British comedy group Monty Python. Although the film is meant to be a comedy, it also succeeds at being an exciting adventure movie. One can only wonder what Gilliam and Palins' intentions were. Did they want to make a hysterical romp through history? Or did they plan on making a science fiction film that could rival some of today's best? Well it really doesn't matter, because they succeed at doing both. The story begins as six dwarfs come tumbling into the room of a young English boy. The dwarfs have stolen a map, which lists all the holes in time, from the Supreme Being. This map has led them to the closet of the sleeping

lad. Before the boy knows what's going on, he is wisked off with

the dwarfs on a journey through time and space. Along their jour-

Montessori, a method of education designed by an Italian educator in the early part of this century. "Our seven-year-old son is enrolled in a Montessori school and is doing work above the average for kids his age," Mr. Elliston said. The Montessori technique introduces all skills at once in their simplest forms and goes on from there, whereas standard education has the student master a few skills before moving on to the next. Many IH teachers are military veterans and Mr. Elliston is no exception. In 1967, he was sent to Vietnam to begin what he calls "a very significant" time in his life. "You grow up fast, but I don't recommend it to anyone." For a number of vears, Mr. Elliston was the Varsity Braves soccer coach, but quit to coach his son's soccer team. After a few good teams and an EHL championship, he found he was no longer enjoying it. This same principle applies to everything MI. Elliston does. "When I find I'm only teaching for retirement benefits, I'll quit and move on. When you're just putting time in, it's time for a change."

ney they meet with the likes of Napoleon (Ian Holm), Robin Hood (John Cleese), Agamemnon (Sean Connery) and finally with the epitomes of good and evil themselves, God (Ralph Richardson) and the Devil (David Warner). Time Bandits is a rare and unique commodity. The fact that such talented dramatic actors as Ralph Richardson, David Warner, Ian Holm and Sean Connery would appear in a Monty Python movie was reason enough to see it. But besides that, the film also suceeds on a multiple of levels. It is a good comedy, an exciting action film, has wonderful special effects, and the story is way above average. As in all films of this kind, of course, you can expect some problems. Some of the sketches fall short of their comic potential, especially the ones involving Michael Palin and Shelly Duvall. Palin is as good as he always has been, but the situations themselves weren't funny enough. But when you're dealing with a film of this size, you can't expect every sketch to be perfect.

Sophomores demonstrate spirit by Kris Brockmann Something new and different has started at Indian Hill. It was first started by the spirited sophomores, the class that's trying t o change the usual "ho hum" attitude about class activities. Over the summer the sophomores got off to a great start with a car wash that made over $160. The bulletin board for sophomore announcements, pictures, and a calendar has been well received. Sophomores are getting ready to sponsor Prom their junior Year by sponsoring a mmber of money making projectsIn October, for example, the class officers and

class cabinet members sold M & M's. The project was very successful and made $400. The 10th grade also sponsored the ' open house on November 6 which featured the band Suspect. Besides all those money making projects, the sophomores still have ideas. Next month, "T" shirts will go on sale to the whole school. The sophomores are really trying to get involved in class and school activities. The interests of the sophomores may vary, but they are definitely bonded together by their pride and spirit for their class.

On the advice of Steve Beschankus, Tom spends much of his time teaching budding drum student John Kennelly.

by Pete Graham Whereas most high school students listen to music, have a favorite group, and possibly may play an instrument, few actually plan to pursue a career related to music. Tom Eggerding is one of those few. Tom is quite serious when it comes to music and very opinionated on the subject. Since acquiring his first Beatle's album in 1967 and starting piano and guitar lessons at ages eight and thirteen, respectively, he has continued to develop his musical inclination. Through his spiritual guru Steve Beschankus, Tom has cultivated a unique discipline in his guitar playing. As a result of this and many hours of practice a day, he has become quite proficient at both the electric and classical guitars. Much of Tom's extra time is devoted to rehearsing with his band (for which he plays lead guitar), listening to a variety of music, and giving guitar lessons. He teaches one drum student, however, John Kennelly. "I must

admit at first I thought John was a hopeless case. But with many hours of practice on my drum set, he is almost ready for a second drum stick," he said. Last summer, Tom spent an entire month at a recording workshop in Chillicothe, Ohio. There, he was exposed to "the operation and maintenance of a recording studio." This experience greatly influenced his now probable college major of audio engineering, and his career choice, of "building, owning and using my own recording studio." Aside from the apparent serious side to Tom, he finds relaxation in two comedy groups; Monty Python and S.C.T.V. Here, he points out, the superiority of imported humor to that of domestic. When asked if he is looking forward to finishing his senior year, he replied, "Enough is enough." Tom's immediate plans upon graduating are to tour England and determine the exact whereabouts of Harry Snapper organs.

On the advice of Steve Beschankus, Tom spends much of his time teaching budding drum student John Kennelly.

by Pete Graham Whereas most high school students listen to music, have a favorite group, and possibly may play an instrument, few actually plan to pursue a career related to music. Tom Eggerding is one of those few. Tom is quite serious when it comes to music and very opinionated on the subject. Since acquiring his first Beatle's album in 1967 and starting piano and guitar lessons at ages eight and thirteen, respectively, he has continued to develop his musical inclination. Through his spiritual guru Steve Beschankus, Tom has cultivated a unique discipline in his guitar playing. As a result of this and many hours of practice a day, he has become quite proficient at both the electric and classical guitars. Much of Tom's extra time is devoted to rehearsing with his band (for which he plays lead guitar), listening to a variety of music, and giving guitar lessons. He teaches one drum student, however, John Kennelly. "I must

admit at first I thought John was a hopeless case. But with many hours of practice on my drum set, he is almost ready for a second drum stick," he said. Last summer, Tom spent an entire month at a recording workshop in Chillicothe, Ohio. There, he was exposed to "the operation and maintenance of a recording studio." This experience greatly influenced his now probable college major of audio engineering, and his career choice, of "building, owning and using my own recording studio." Aside from the apparent serious side to Tom, he finds relaxation in two comedy groups; Monty Python and S.C.T.V. Here, he points out, the superiority of imported humor to that of domestic. When asked if he is looking forward to finishing his senior year, he replied, "Enough is enough." Tom's immediate plans upon graduating are to tour England and determine the exact whereabouts of Harry Snapper organs.

by Richard Stradling Indian Hill High School is fortunate to have a faculty composed of teachers who redly care about what they are doing. A prime example of such a teacher is Rowley Elliston. Mr. Elliston has been teaching at IH for ten years, but his teaching career began at the Cincinnati Nature Center. As an assistant director at the nature center, Mr. Elliston instructed both teachers and kids and found he really enjoyed teaching. During his career at IH, Mr. Elliston has been involved in many activities including peer counseling. As a "faculty member of peer counseling,'' Mr. Elliston feels the program "pushes the limits of my involvement and gives me the opportunity to meet and get to know students 1 might not otherwise meet." Besides peer counseling, Mr. Elliston is the faculty advisor for the ecology club. He assumed this position because of his interest in the club's recycling center a number of years back. As the center changed from recycling to junk collection and the project became a chore, the club transformed itself into an "outing club." "Now we're working on

Mr. Elliston's interest in ecology stems from the joy he find in the outdoors and outdoor activities. Skiing, rock climbing, hiking, canoeing and camping all rank high on his list of hobbies. "We go to New England every year where my family owns an island off of Maine," Mr. Elliston

said. "But since my son came along, our travelling has been curtailed." The Ellistons live on a rural eight acre lot at the entrance to the Cincinnati Nature Center. Mr. Elliston enjoys listening to classical music on WGUC, English and Irish folk music and sometimes WWEZ's brand of music. He maintains, though, that he doesn't dislike hard rock, but "you can't listen to every-

'Ti me Bandits' succeeds with comedy, adventure Time Bandits rated PC Chieftain rating: **% by Gus Gordon Take one part Star Wars, one part The Hobbit, one part Wizard o f O z , a big dose of British humor and what do you get? Time Bandits, a wonderful new movie made by Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin of the British comedy group Monty Python. Although the film is meant to be a comedy, it also succeeds at being an exciting adventure movie. One can only wonder what Gilliam and Palins' intentions were. Did they want to make a hysterical romp through history? Or did they plan on making a science fiction film that could rival some of today's best? Well it really doesn't matter, because they succeed at doing both. The story begins as six dwarfs come tumbling into the room of a young English boy. The dwarfs have stolen a map, which lists all the holes in time, from the Supreme Being. This map has led them to the closet of the sleeping

lad. Before the boy knows what's going on, he is wisked off with

the dwarfs on a journey through time and space. Along their jour-

Montessori, a method of education designed by an Italian educator in the early part of this century. "Our seven-year-old son is enrolled in a Montessori school and is doing work above the average for kids his age," Mr. Elliston said. The Montessori technique introduces all skills at once in their simplest forms and goes on from there, whereas standard education has the student master a few skills before moving on to the next. Many IH teachers are military veterans and Mr. Elliston is no exception. In 1967, he was sent to Vietnam to begin what he calls "a very significant" time in his life. "You grow up fast, but I don't recommend it to anyone." For a number of vears, Mr. Elliston was the Varsity Braves soccer coach, but quit to coach his son's soccer team. After a few good teams and an EHL championship, he found he was no longer enjoying it. This same principle applies to everything MI. Elliston does. "When I find I'm only teaching for retirement benefits, I'll quit and move on. When you're just putting time in, it's time for a change."

ney they meet with the likes of Napoleon (Ian Holm), Robin Hood (John Cleese), Agamemnon (Sean Connery) and finally with the epitomes of good and evil themselves, God (Ralph Richardson) and the Devil (David Warner). Time Bandits is a rare and unique commodity. The fact that such talented dramatic actors as Ralph Richardson, David Warner, Ian Holm and Sean Connery would appear in a Monty Python movie was reason enough to see it. But besides that, the film also suceeds on a multiple of levels. It is a good comedy, an exciting action film, has wonderful special effects, and the story is way above average. As in all films of this kind, of course, you can expect some problems. Some of the sketches fall short of their comic potential, especially the ones involving Michael Palin and Shelly Duvall. Palin is as good as he always has been, but the situations themselves weren't funny enough. But when you're dealing with a film of this size, you can't expect every sketch to be perfect.

Sophomores demonstrate spirit by Kris Brockmann Something new and different has started at Indian Hill. It was first started by the spirited sophomores, the class that's trying t o change the usual "ho hum" attitude about class activities. Over the summer the sophomores got off to a great start with a car wash that made over $160. The bulletin board for sophomore announcements, pictures, and a calendar has been well received. Sophomores are getting ready to sponsor Prom their junior Year by sponsoring a mmber of money making projectsIn October, for example, the class officers and

class cabinet members sold M & M's. The project was very successful and made $400. The 10th grade also sponsored the ' open house on November 6 which featured the band Suspect. Besides all those money making projects, the sophomores still have ideas. Next month, "T" shirts will go on sale to the whole school. The sophomores are really trying to get involved in class and school activities. The interests of the sophomores may vary, but they are definitely bonded together by their pride and spirit for their class.

This past week, the Service Committee has been busy working on the traditional Thanksgiving project. Homeroom competition was held with doughnuts awarded to the homeroom which collected the most canned goods and money. The food will be sent to the Free Store, while the

The proceeds from the auction will be donated to a local charity. In addition to the traditional

edit ori a1 "I couldn't believe it. It was offensive." Comments such as this following the November 6th pep rally honoring senior athletes have spawned a reaction to the banal issue of "spirit" and pep rallies, which we at Chieftain felt never merited space on an editorial page. However, the attitudes expressed at this pep rally were appalling if not downright insulting, and they warrant response. From most accounts, this pep rally was a circus. It is one thing to recognize senior athletes for participating in a lengthy fall sport season. Indeed, they deserve it. Yet, it is another to subject the student body to abusive shouting and the accusation that they aren't "man enough" ., to -go out for the football team. T~ round-out this pep rally, students were not allowed to leave until they "shook the rafters cheering." In the future, pep- rally leaders in the interest of saving- their voices might want to consider pointing guns at the crowd and politely requesting "spirit ." When are student leaders, administrators, and coaches going - - to realize that they cannot force a ''rah, rah, wearing red and white spirit" upon the students? They must understand that this type of spirit corl'les from one's inner-self. Some people naturally are more with their emotions and desires; others are not. Moreover, students may choose to show their "spirit" for their school in other forms rather than screaming "Go Braves." Can we chastise a Drama Club member, having put many hours into a drama production, or a Legend - editor. dedicating- hours of free time to page lay-ou ts, for not showing their spirit by jumping around singing cheers? Are they not displaying "spirit" for their school of a different kind? we must stop demanding vocal school spirit of our student body - We must stop condemning our students for not having- "spirit."

31x perrod day peculiarlyn ut?/'rdea by John Bergman It may be hard for many of us to start thinking now about the school Year of 1982-1983, but school administrators, along with the Board of Education, are already at work On that very subject, collecting ideas like squirrels co~ectin.nutsfor thewinter. ~ e l l , ~ t h e ~ kicking 're around an idea now that strikes me as being peculiarly nutty. The idea arises from the fact that state re,ubements will make it necessary for Indian ill School to have three more minutes of lab time per day during the school year of 1982-1983 than it has now. This ,ill make it nece~~ar,to add three minutes to each and every

p e r ~ , " e O f ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Uis,e s t i O n is Indian Hill High going to manufacture those extra three minutes?" One answer being Considered is a six period day that would last the same amount of time as the present seven period

day- This add more than seven minutes to each period. I submit that this plan creates more problems than it solve?' Many students, including myself, acawill be taking five demic courses, adding in another period for such courses as Health, Driver's Education and Physical Education. It would be impossible for these students to take a full-year classes such as band, other Or students will have to take six academic courses during at least one of the next three years.

Furthermore, there are people who entered Indian Hill High School when the schedule was seven periods long. They planned accordingly, and changing their schedule now w u create add& tional problemsLastly, but certainly not least imuortantlv. - , the music proaam - w ~ lin, all probabilty, suffer greatly if this plan is put into effect. Music classes, particularly Music Theory, would be among the first to go. ~t best, the classes would exist outside of the school day and participants would, therefore, receive no school credit for their efforts. There are presently close to two hundred students involved in band, choir and orchestra. I do not believe that even half that number could be expected to barticipate if the classes were extracurricular. I hope that 1 do not need to convince anyone that arts of all kinds are an essential part o f a well-rounded education. I suggest that there is a way to solve the extra time problem without creating- the additonal problems listed above. If homeroom time was omitted (it didn't even exist ten years ago), only thriteen minutes would have to be added at the end of the day. If fifteen minutes were added, the extra two minutes could be used for announcements. Attendance could be taken during the fust period and sent to the office. As I see it, an extra fifteen minutes a day isn't going to hurt anyone. A six period day, on the other hand, will hurt many.

disc review

Young's 'Reactor' a reversa by Peter Can Neil Young's newest album, Reactor, is easily summed up to be this; good, simple hard rock. Ignoring his well-known acoustic talent, Neil attacks his Gibsol Les Paul with a ferocity that leaves the listener wondering if this is the same musician who produced the country music-oriented album, Hawks and Doves, less than one year ago. Yet the high, quivering vocals that have become Young's trademark remind us that this is the same Neil Young we have known since his 1965 debut with the Buffalo Springfield. Indeed, nearly every cut on Reactor in some way can be traced to other works produced by Young throughout his career. The opening cut, "Opera Star," of this Young's fifteenth solo album is a fast-moving track that is similar to a Buffalo Springfield tune also by Neil Young entitled "Mr. Soul." In both, the life of a rock

and roll superstar is depicted as being sad and lonely. Although "Opera Star" lacks the poetic lyrics of "Mr. Soul," the driving lead guitar of the former appeals to the listener. Young even delicately lifted a recurring melody in "Mr. Soul" and applied it to a solo in "Opera Star." Indeed, a3l of the cuts on Young's album with his back-up band, Crazy Horse, lack the artistic lyrics of songs like "Sugar Mountain." In fact, in the longest piece on the album, "T-Bone," tracking nine minutes and fourteen seconds, Young simply repeats the two lines "Go mashed Potatoes" and "Ain't got no Tbone" over and over again. Although the main purpose of the track is to highlight Young's prowess on the electric guitar, the expected accompanying lyrics of similar lengthy pieces like "Down by the River" and "Cortez the killer." On Reactor, Young aborts all

disc review

Rush cuts another live album by Pate Williams My initial reaction when asked to review the new live Rush album Exit Stage Left was mixed. Could Rush keep up their aboveaverage musicianship on a live album? After all, to follow Moving Pictures is not an easy task. After hearing the album, though, my doubts were ungrounded. The double live album opens with "Spirit of Radio," a brightly flowing tune with smooth tempo changes that have become the trademark of the trio. Geddy Lee, the group's lead vocalist, has a slow start in meshing his unique voice with the intricate background. He adequately regains control, though, by the end of second song, "Red Barchetta." This melodic tune surprisingly takes on a slower tempo than the studio version, rather than the normal up-tempo of most concert recordings. However, slower tempos seem to be the order of the day on this live recording. "Tom Sawyer," "Passage to Bangkok," and "Y YZ," which contains an inspiring percussion solo by Neil Peart, are all performed at a down tempo. Throughout the album, Rush does not cease to entertain the

listener with their select style of music. These three individuals blend to form a multidimentional group. From the instrumentally sound "YYZ," to the inspiring vocals displayed in Closer to the Heart their muscial prowess assures the listener of their expertise. If there is one element that makes the album special, it would have to be the lyrics. Neil Peart's extensive knowledge of the English language helps to intensify the strong themes present in the majority of songs. Peart, the composer of most of these songs, rarely makes use of trite sayings, but rather establishes his own style of lyrics. The usual method of coinciding the muscial phrase with the lyrical phrase does not usually appear throughout the album. Rush has no qualms about running a lyrical phrase into a second musical phrase likc free verse poetry. This is a true mark of their musical ability. All in all, Rush has taken a great many strides. From the trying days of "Working Man," to the present, with its stylish "Red Barchetta," Exit Stage Left is a pleasing new entry.

previous efforts to establish himself as a country artist. The female harmonies of Nicolette Larson and Linda Rondstadt so evident on such albums as Harvest and Comes a Time are replaced by the rougher back-ups of Crazy Horse. The prevailing distortation on Reactor can be traced to his two recent albums, Rust Never Sleeps and Live Rust. Although similar in distortation, these three albums differ in that Young does not bother to record any of his brilliant solo, 12-string acoustic work like that found on the latter two on the newest. Instead, he packs the album with 39 minutes of gusty rock and roll tunes like "Surfer Joe and Moe the Sleaze," destined to become the album's hit single. Here, Young sings, "Come on down for a pleasure cruise/ We're all goin on a pleasure cruise. . ./ Plenty of booze," portraying the theme of hedonism rarely found in Young's works but appealing to modern audiences. Flipping the album to side two, the listener encounters a technique rarely found in Young's songs - background sound effects. These effects are found on the "Southern Pacific" in the form of a train whistle and can be later heard in "shots" in the form of machine-gun fire. The second cut of the second side, "Rapid Transit," is perhaps the most unique of the album. Although a bit harsh in the vocals, with Young's voice being strained in the upper octaves, it is amusing to hear Young trill words like "Rrrrrrrrapid transit ," "Mmmeltdown ," and "Ccccccontainment" to express his fear of nuclear power. The pounding rhythm adds to the excitement of the piece. As a protest song, how-

ever, it cannot compare with Young's views of the Kent State murders found in "Ohio." The Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young freak will be disappointed in finding no slow, sweet songs such as "Helpless" on the new album. Reactor consists only of fast-moving pieces. Perhaps this is because Young has found a new audience in distortion~riented songs such as "Hey Hey My My" of Hawks and Doves met with little commercial success, and perhaps Young is hungry for some of that money evident in the sales of the Rust series. Fans of distortion will take a liking to Young's new album which may, unfortunately, put him in league with bands such its AC-DC. Whatever the case, Neil Young is long overdue for a live tour, and hopefully the heavy metal sound of Reactor that would pack concert halls is a forewarning of an international tour by Young and Crazy Horse. Reactor is not a decent example of the range of Neil Young's many talents. Lacking potent I y r i ~ sand acoustic guitar, it only concentrates on the heavy metal side of the musician. A strong beat, improved solo techniques, and decent studio sound absent on many of his other albums is demonstrated by Young on Reactor, showing the listener that Young is still growing. The album is an improvement of the weak Hawks and Doves, and perhaps Young fans can look forward t o a future album combining his hard rock talent with his slower music, containing acoustic work and insightful lyrics. As evident from the musician's broad range of growth and progression, "My My Hey Hey ," Neil Young is here t o stay.

CHIEFTAIN

by Kurt Dusterberg Winning the Eastern Hills League championship is "first and foremost" in Coach Dale McKibben's mind right now. Just how his basketball team will accomplish that may be another story. Last year when the "Battlin' Braves" captured the league trophy, they had good size in their forwards and plenty of point-getters. This year, the team has not been blessed with quite the same talent. Only two players will be returning for varsity duty this season. Dave Hancher and Terry Healey, who both saw plenty of duty last season, will have to fill the team's leadership role as nine new members round out the roster. "We are going to have to rely

on the past tradition at Indian Hill in the early going," McKibben said. "I don't know how that will translate as to whether or not we get some wins." McKibben is not banking on tradition alone. He says, "I never go into a season not expecting tc win." So, in order to preserve the tradition, Braves' fans will see a new twist in the team's play. "We've altered our style somewhat," he said. "There will be more pressing and we will try to spread out the floor, which should be to our advantage. We want to prevent against being overpowered and play more of a running game so we can hopefully make easier shots." Along with the Braves, McKibben expects to see Madeira

and Sycamore vie for the league's top spot. Milford and Glen Este should be right behind, which will make for a strong league season. Despite the Braves 12-2 finish in the EHL last year, the Braves struggled in their nonleague games. But, the Braves' coach feels the games against teams like Turpin, Forest Park and Mt. Healthy are needed to prepare the Braves for the EHL season. The Braves wiU play their first home game this Saturday against Finneytown. Indian Hill tips off their defense of the league crown Friday, December 4, at Loveland. Besides Hancher and Healey the squad will consist of Kriss Ashing, Jim Arnold, Dave Davis, Dave Havlovic, Jim Morgan, Chuck Westhofen, Todd Goldman, and Jay Kohls.

Of the team's chances, Mains said, ''I think we will probably get first or second in the league." The Squaws opened their season yesterday at Forest Park, a new team on the Squaws' schedule. Indian Hill's first league game will be at Milford Thursday, December 10. All of the JV Squaws' games begin at 6:00 p.m. with varsity following. The games will be played on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

FOOTBALL Indian Hill's worst varsity football season came to an end three weeks ago with a disappointing 35-6 loss to Anderson. On a night of freezing temperatures at Indian Hill, the Braves could not get their offense uncorked. The loss dropped the Braves to 1-9 overall and 0-7 in the Eastern Hills League. Anderson did all its scoring in the fust quarter, and rolled up two more touchdowns in second. The Braves finally broke up the shutout when Greg McDaniel plunged in to the end zone late in the fourth quarter.

by Liza Mitchell Forty-six students and tive teachers left November 10 for the College of Mount St. Joseph to begin their peer counseling retreat. Many of the participants had no idea what their peer counseling experience would be like. All they had ever heard was "It will be one of the greatest experiences of your life. You will never forget it." And a great experience is just what it turned out to be. The thirty-one trainees learned things that would stick with them for the rest of their lives. They learned to deal with their own problems more easily and they also learned to help their peers deal with their problems. The trainees practiced their listening skills, and the methods of counseling over their fortyeight hour period. Several speakers came and lectured on topics such as death, divorce, and sex. Mr. Robert Browning, a conselor at Wyandot

of death and how to deal wth the loss of someone close. Reverand James Metzger spoke about changes in the family such as divorce and Ms. Besecker discussed the topic of psycho-sexual development. Mr. Doug Hammond, first year peer counseling sponsor, felt the retreat went "pretty well." "There was an obvious growth among the students which is great," he added. "The Peer Counseling Program has been a source of personal growth for me by giving me the chance to define my personal values and also to build my selfesteem to a positive level," stated peer counselor Sarah Leonard. Wednesday, November 18, an additional fifty students traveled to the College of Mount St. Joseph to begin their counseling session. Two retreats were needed due to the fact that the Peer Counseling Program has tripled since its beginning in

by Paul Smith Senior John Ries was named a finalist in the 1981 National Council of Teachers of English Achievement in Writing Contest early in November. Ries competed with 7000 other students from high schools across the country, and in American Schools abroad in order to receive this honor. Ries and senior Rod Barr were nominated last spring by Mrs. Ackley to represent Indian Hill. In order to be considered, both submitted a sample of their best writing and an impromptu essay. These works were evaluated b y state judging-teams of both high school and college English teachers. When the final judgements were made, approximately 850 finalists were selected. Of these winners, it is rare to have more than one from a single high school. Ries suggested that this could have been why both did not win. John Ries is one of ten consecutive winners from Indian Hill. "This reflects. the fact that our English department is strong in writing," he commented.

The essays were submitted in February, and by November, Barr and Ries were worried that they had broken the tradition. "I was getting nervous that neither Rod nor I had won, but I was extremely happy when I got home from school and saw that envelope," Ries said. The National Council of Teachers of English is a professional organization consisting of members from all levels of instruction. The goal of the council is to increase the effectiveness of teachers in teaching the English language and literature in the nation's schools and colleges. NCTE furnishes such teaching aids as books and recordings, and it publishes several professional journals such as College English and English Journal. NCTE also recommends the award finalists for college admission and scholarships. Their names we sent to admissions offices and English department chairpersons at over 3000 U. S. colleges and universities, so the award should help Ries get into the college of his choice, which is Harvard.

'Mice paranoia' hits Chieftain by J& Chieftain Due to an influx of little gray mice (with cute little dog-like eyes) Chieftain has felt the pressures of "mice paranoia." First to fall from this dreaded disease was editor Bob Kindel. "Oh, Eeek - eek," he screamed. At first, staffers thought this to be one of Kindel's numerous, but harmless, pranks. But, after features editor Richard "Mo" Stradling (he's the one who said it had "cute little dog-like eyes") saw it,

by John Ries and Chis Schmalz Since the beginning, the powderpuff football game has always been an occasion for high spirits and intense rivalry. However, many have remarked that this year, "It went a bit too far." According to one, powderpuff football players vandalized appproximately twenty-six cars Monday morning. The day's events that lead t o the vandalism began with a breakfast for the junior team at Lynn Barton's house. As juniors were leaving Barton's house, two cars full of senior powderpuff players arrived, uninvited. The seniors then sprayed the juniors and their cars with dishwashing liquid. None of the powderpuffers objected strongly to this action, though. " I thought it was fun," stated senior Leslie Devitt. But, when the teams arrived in the high school parking lot, severa eggs were vollyed between juniors and seniors, according to Leslie Devitt. The junior team then

In any case, several cars were damagedi Junior Suzy Schutty for one said that "I had at least eight eggs on my car, and chocolate syrup was dripped all over." Also, long key scratches were found on j u n i o ~ Anne Edelburg's car, which will cause her t o have her car painted again. After the juniors found out about damage done t o their cars, they cleaned them up in the parking lot and at local car-washes.

to start December 6

by Fred Goosman The varsity and JV wrestling teams have begun their quest for the EHL title. But this year, the team takes on a new look with three new coaches: Ron Webber, Jim Collins and Tim Distler. After some rather dismal teams in the past, the coaches are working to rebuild the Indian Hill wrestling program. "We enjoy wrestling," remarked one coach. "We just want everyone to live up to his potential. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, we just would like to develop individual and school pride." The coaches pointed to Greg McDaniel and John Nichols as the high of - points the team. The main weaknesses for the team will be its lack of people, as well as inexperience. "One of our goals is to create a close-knit

Brindise aired his gripes about the students' lack of enthusiasm. Dr. Feltman followed by shouting his disapproval at the crowd.~Each of the men called for applause for the athletes. The students' response was, predictably, lethargic. Some may feel this issue would be better off untouched and disregarded. But it will not simply go away. Whether Brindise and Feltman went about voicing their opinions properly is debatable. What is obvious is that they were not wrong in criticizing students for not caring. Very few schools, especially AAA schools as small as Indian Hill, can boast of sending three teams to state competition in one season. I would venture to guess that less than half the

But we are beginning another season. A chance to redeem our f a e n spirit. No one can promise a state championship for a school that supports its teams, but without support, it makes the road quite a bit more difficult. If for no other reason, we need to attend sports events because we are part of the school. The teams' uniforms say "Indian Hill," not "The Basketball Team" or "The Tennis Team." The teams represent all of us. As Brindise said at the pep rally, there are two battles at the games. One on the field, and one in the stands. We can always assure ourselves the victory in the bleachers. It is apride. matter of choice and a matter of

people in school can name the three we sent this fall. Claiming "I don't like sports" or "Who wants to ~sit out in the cold?" is not what it's all about. It's more than that. When we brag of our superiority to other schools, we start with sports. This fall we had more chances than ever. This is not the big time. No one gets any more than personal satisfaction from participating in high school sports. That is why fans are so important. Any athlete will tell you, an enthusiastic crowd or a wish of good luck is just as important as a teammate. Being number one is a collective proposition. I am not asking anyone to become an unwilling sports fanatic.

Arnold's JV Braves by Mike BetragIia Coach Jim Arnold is hoping to have as good of a record as last year's 13-7 JV basketball squad. Arnold will be in a new position with the JV team.

This year's team will consist of , ten members. The Braves will need ptayers to develop by asserting themselves as rebounders. The three sophomores who are expected to. fulfill this role are John Kitel Dan Kremchek and Glenn Armitrage, a transfer from Cincinnati Country Day. In an effort to get prepared for the 1981-82 campaign, the Braves have tried to schedule three scrimmages, but they have been able to play just one. The scrimmage against Aiken was can-

Senior powderpu The seniors once again upheld Indian Hill tradition by beating the junior powderpuffers, 20-16, Monday in front of a sleepy crowd of 70. The game was plagued by rain and sloppy playing conditions, which has also become a powderpuff tradition. Each of the team's massive squads came close to the endzone but failed to score in the first half. The fans were treated to some real entertainment at halftime. The pep band gave an awe-inspiring performance with their colorful marching, and the cheerleaders joined the effort to make the performance a success. Both teams became more aggressive in the second half. The players made several tackles as the

play became a little bit more chippy The seniors drew ?%st blood early in the second half, but the juniors took the lead on a touchdown and a conversion, 8-6. The seniors finally realized the best way to the end zone was by running the sweep. Two drives in the fourth quarter ended on a touchdown runs to the outside. The scores for the seniors were by Julie Budig, Sheila Chalmers and Lisa Goldsmith. The juniors scored again late in the game when Angela Farley scooted in and then added the conversion. Time ran out on the juniors' hopes when the seniors killed the clock with two minutes left.

Voi. 31, No. 6 November 25,1981 Indian Hill High School Cincinnati, Ohio 45243

IH to acquire cable t.v., possible studio by John Christine Warner Amex Cable Communieations, Inc. will be connecting cable television to the high school media center sometime around December 1. According -- to Mr. Earl Snapp, IHHS public relations director, the future installation is a result of the franchise established in 1979 when the Indian Hill Village signed a contract with Warner. The franchise will cover the cost of the cable. A committee, which was set up in September by the Board of Education, is in the process of deciding on the possibility of a cable t.v. studio. The studio, Snapp says, would enable students to learn how to operate filming and taping equipment and transmit programs to other schools. "Its potential is mind-boggling," Snapp says The eight-member committee will decide upon whether to have the studio or not after the first of January. According to Snapp, the students would be able to film almost anything and send it anywhere via the "C-loop." The Cloop is the cable which surrounds the Indian Hill School District. Through the cable, students will he able to transmit shows to any

IN. school, Indian Hill, and Kenwood residents, and Country Day School. The loop will eventually be connected to all the schools in Hamilton County that are served by Warner Annex.

endless. Students could tape important events and meetings ' at school. Also, the camera could film sporh events or .any event putside of the school. Besides having the chance to learn how to use the equipment, students might also get the opportunity to work as an apprentice at Warner Amex, Snapp said. Part of the reason the board committee was set up was to discuss the cost of the studio. Warner Amex has already agreed in franchise that they would supply some of the equipment, but the cost that IHHS would pay has not yet been disclosed. Without the studio, programs will be taped in the Media Center as they are now. "It will be used all day for taping programs for various use in the classroom," Snapp said. If the plan for a studio is brought up the cable t.v. would be moved to the studio. I J i ~ t ithen l the taping will be done in the Media Center. Head librarian Miss Eloise Ralz expressed the value of the system to IH and said, "It will have a wealth of material for us." She also said that she was in favor of the studio and noted the career possibilities for those using the equipment.

National Honor Society to induct new members this morning by Kitsa Tassian National Honor Society conducts its sixth annual induction of juniors and seniors this morning in the high school auditorium. Students eligible for consideration must have maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better for at least four consecutive semesters. After this requirement is met, evaluation forms are sent to all teachers who have taught the prospective inductees. They are evaluated in terms of character, services completed, and leadership qualities. A committee consisting of department chairpersons, counselors, and the NHS adviser, Mrs. Elizabeth Ackley, collaborate to

discuss each student's evaluation and recommendations. The committee then dicides which students to induct but withholds the names of the new members up until the ceremony Wednesday morning. However, the committee does notify the parents of the students who are to be inducted so that they may attend the induction ceremony. The ceremony itself will be presented to all sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the auditorium. With Mrs. Ackly as this year's new NHS advisor, induction procedures will be slightly different than in previous years. This year, present NHS members

are going to work in pairs to introduce the new members. While one reads the description of the inductee, the other seeks him or her out in the audience. To further the suspense, the name of the inductee is withheld until the conclusion of the description. Once recognized, the inductees will receive a NHS pin and membership card. The card gives the member the privilege of free passage in the building during a study hall. This, however, is a privilege which can be revoked if a member's grade point average falls below 3.5, as their grades are checked quarterly to insure maintenance of academic excellence.

Furthermore, one teacher will b e elected as an honorary member by present members. After a brief reception in the library for new members and their parents, a lunch is given in their honor. This year, the luncheon will be held at Steak and Ale. "It's a lot of work because the kids can't help me after the selection has been made," stated Elizabeth Ackley about organizing the ceremony. "I think it is a very important assembly because it is the only assembly during the entire school year that time from the school day is taken to recognize and encourage academic achievement," she added.
