Braves hope to end losing streak tonight by Bruno Darre The varsity Braves play the Loveland ~ i ~ e tonight rs in what could be a very exciting homecoming game. Once again, aggresiveness and intensity are the factors the Braves will need to win. The Braves, who are 0-3 in their last three games, are hoping to end this bad streak and feel that there is no better time than tonight. Last week against Deer Park the Braves' lost the game on their failure to score twice when they were on the Deer Park ten yard line. The running game, having just been changed to a three back offense called the "Power-I," was severely croppled when junior Myron Cowherd sprained his ankle in the first half. (Cowherd has not practiced this week and may not play against the Tigers tonight.) The two scores by the Braves both came on pass plays. Quarterback connected with Mike Anderson for 26 yards and with James Johnson for 15 yards. Both extra points were converted by Paul Alvord, but the Braves fell short as the defense yeilded twenty-five points. Two weeks ago, the Braves faced a very strong team from Wyoming, a team which only lost to CAPE by one point (28-27) as

to state a result of a missecl extra pomt. Even though the Braves lost the game 35-7, they looked good and1 according to Coach Heizman, "lfl we play like this the rest of the season, we should win every game." The Braves' only in this game came when Berling hit Anderson for a touchdown, followed by Alvord's conversion. The varsity Braves began their losing streak against the Reading Blue Devils three weeks ago. The Braves were playing without their number one running back, Grey Freudenberg, who was out with an illness. This proved to be painful for the Braves' offense, which scored only one touchdown and had eight fumbles. It was a disappointing 35-7 loss and as Heizman remarked, "It's not the best we've ever played." Hopefully, the Braves' desire to end the three game losing streak will be carried through to- I night. The team is feeling confiden t, but also realizes that Loveland will be no pushover.

B

by Diane Macke After starting the season out with a losing streak, the Squaws are now showing iapid imprnvement with each game. One sore point for the team this year has been the team's typically slow first half performance. Says Coach Restinberg, "If only we could play our first half as well as the second." The Squaws' most recent match against Hamilton, while played under adverse conditions, reflected the 'team's ability to battle their opponents, and tied by a score of 1-1. The team's sole goal was scored by freshman Jenny Bath. The week before, the team defeated the Mariemont WarGoals were scored riors 4-2. by Darby Lindner, Katie Morroc0 (21, and Andre? Spritzer. '

Commenting on the team's progtess to date, Thompson says, "Our defense has been consistently strong as a result of our fullback play, and Cadi Cucinotta has done an outstanding job in goal. If we can just get our offense to perform the way I know they are capable of pcrforming, I think we will surprise some teams in the tournament."

Assistant Principal Mr. Gary Gellert stated, "They've done a very good job getting the room prepared; so far it has gone very well. For the first time in recent memory, I expect Senior Lounge to last the entire year. They [the seniors] put the time, the money, and the effort in it and I don't think that they'll abuse what they have done." Wilke summed up the typical senior viewpoint on the SPA, "I'm pleased with the outcome and we [the seniors] deserve it [the SPA] because we rule over the rest of the school.

Birdie Braves to compete in regionals by Lee Tucker The second half of the Birdie Braves' season was highlighted by a third-place finish in the district tournament, which qualifies them for the regional tournament in Sydney, Ohio. Although losing to Oak Hills and Mason with the absence of senior star Jeff Yost, the Braves came back with an exceptional ending to their strong season. The Braves were en route to their third straight district title, but had to settle for third after a playoff. The team defeated Deer Park with Yost qualifying i'or medalist honors in that Inect. This allowed the Birdie Braves to capture the league title with vital support conling by way of strong scores from Yost with a firstplace 70, and a fourth-place 79 by freshman Matt Sheakly.

Ex~~xy school day, hundreds of Indian Hill students file into the cafeteria t o partake of handfuls of grease and sodium saturated fries, mounds of starchy processed entrees, and sugary, synthetic juices. This scene merits nightmare status in this newly health conscious society we live in. Sadly, most students d o not even seem t o be aware of the disservice they are doing for themselves by indulging in these "foods." Items such as french fries and cakes have practically no nutritional value and only do harm by festering one's body with cholesterol and various carcinogens. There is an almost appalling lack of such items as leafy and green vegatables in the Indian Hill student's lunch time diet. This editorial was originally planned t o be a criticism of the cafeteria's program itself; but after due -

consideration, Chieftain has realized that the real problem lies with the students. ARA Food Service offers a salad bar, green vegatables, and other worthy foods in limited quantities, but the students simply refuse t o eat them. ARA is a business, and it can only supply what its customers are willing t o buy. Chieftain hopes that students will examine their diets and alter them appropriately. The cafeteria is more than willing to supply more wholesome and nutritious foods. The students, however, must first decide that their bodies are worthy of that which is good.

editorial

Twenty-five years ago, President John F. Kennedy established a program that fed on little more than the enthusiasm of its mainly young participants: the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps, which sends Americans abroad to work in underdeveloped countries, has managed to thrive in its first quarter-century of existence, and has designated October 1985-September 1986 as its twenty-fifth anniversary year. An interview with 1960 Indian Hill graduate and Peace Corpsman Alan Crew in this issue of Chieftain gives some insight into the true attraction of the Peace Corps, which has been described as "the toughest job you'll ever love." In the article, Crew not only describes his two-year tenure in Africa, but voices his opinions on the potential future of the Peace Corps. Today, a program like the Peace Corps is needed Inore than ever, for the same reasons which fostered its founding: the internaional understanding and friendship created by the Corps is valuable in allieviating the tension dhich hangs over the world. The experience for thohc who participate rivals none in terms of learning 21!1111t other people, feels Crew. For this reason, ( :.,-w l ~ o p c sthat the Peacc Corps survives. We do, also. The Corps deserves to live t o celebrate a fiftieth anniversary. If it does not, not only will future participants be deprived of a truly valuable experience, but the world will bc robbed of an avenue, however stnall, for understanding between its vastly divided people.

by Chris Kempczinski In a hectic six game stretch over two weeks, the varsity Braves soccer team was able to amass a respectable 4-2 reeord, which leaves them at 8-3-3 for the season to date. Nevertheless, the team's two losses are deceptive, both times the Braves faced schools ranked in the top ten in the city. The most recent loss was this past Saturday to Turpin who combined a strong passing attack with an inpenetrable defense to blank the Braves 2-0, despite a strong performance by the defense. This loss came off a devastating Braves' victory in which the team was able to destroy league foe Deer Park, 13-1. While most aspects of the game were encouraging, a mental lapse by the Braves allowed Deer Park to score on a direct kick. IH's goals were scored by Steve Womack and Eric Metzger, who both had four, along with Chuck LaMacchia7s two goals and one goal being added by Trey Isgrig, Chris Kempczinski, and Mike Eaton. Hoping to avenge a previous loss last year in the tournament, which eliminated the Braves from state competition, the team faced last year's state champions, the McNicholas Rockets. In one of the strongest outings of the year, the team pulled out a 5-2 victory with goals being scored by Womack who had three and by Metzger who had two. The defense provided its typically s t ~ o n gperformance and held off a desperate McNicholas team t o carry the Braves to victory. Facing one of Indian Hill's staunchest rivals, the Braves went into Mariemont hoping to imp~oveupon their league record. And helped by the play of Meyer who captured his sixth shutout of the year, along with John Rabenold, Metzger, and Womack scoring all the team's goals, the Braves coasted to a 6-0 victory. Another league game of tremendous importance was against Madeira, a team whose record, which at the time was 7-1-1, was particularly impressive. Faced with a game of little ball control, both teams struggled for the early lead with Madeira scoring first. However, Indian Hill, twenty seconds later, came roaring back

seconds left. The Braves' second loss of the season came at the hands of Walnut Hills who were ranked fourth in the city. Facing a 1-0 deficit early in the game, the team could not overcome the Walnut Hill's defense and lost the game. Indian Hill's play, thus far,

with Scott Seibert scoring a goal. Womack won the game for the team on a penalty kick early into the second half to give the team a narrow 2-1 edge. And once again, relying on the defense, Indian Hill was able to stave off a Mustang rally which almost tied the game with two

has been superb, however, as all three of the Braves' losses have come at the expense of top ranked teams. And even with the loss to Turpin which Coach Vockell said, 'Would've put us in the top ten," the team can only look with optimism at the remainder of the season and then into the tournament. Meyer has had an excellent season and is a likely canidate for all-CHL, along with Womack, who, after a slow start, have come on strong the second half of the season to be once again, one of the city's leading scorers. Metzger has also been a vital part of the offensive punch, : as he has added ten goals. How- I ever, the highlight of the season has beer, the defense, comprised of Scott Farrell, Rabenold, Eaton, and Greg Long or Seibert alternating at stopper. Looking to the tournament the Braves are the number one seed for a double A school in this part of the city which provides them with a bye in the first round of play. And with several more games left in the regular season, the team has a chance to improve both their record and their play to bring a state championship in soccer to Indian Hill for the first time ever.

Girls await second annual state tournarneni by Joy Rowe The girls7 golf team has recently added many accomplshments to their season. The first tournament held was on September 28, at Centerivlle, when the team finished second behind undefeated Lakota. The difference between first and second was a mere four strokes, which the team feels can be made up in their next meeting. Kari Craig played especially well in scoring a 5 0. Craig once again pulled through at Middletown on October 2 by scaring another 50 on the front side of Wildwood Country Club. Joy Rowe was medalist with a fouroverpar 40. With their great improvement, the team should be ready to be a serious challenge in the second annual Ohio Coaches Girls7 State Invitational. This tournament was started last year by Indian

Hill on a trial basis by Woody Woodward (father of former IH studentlplayer Natalie Woodward). After its hupe success, Bob Ovington and Bruce Rowe have since taken over. This year's tournament will take place at O'Bannon Creek golf course and is scheduled for October 18. This year's tournament will be aided by golf professionals from Kenwood Country Crub and O7Bannon and by several volunteers from the Greater Cincinnati Women's Golf Association working as scorers. "In \vorking with the Greater Cincinnati Women's Golf Association, we hope to develop girls' golf into a state-sponsored tournament," stated athletic director Carol Wehmann. The point of the whole tournament is to show a need for a

state-sponsored tournament similar to the boys. Coach Marc Tirey added to Wehmann's comment, 'There is a Coaches Association which is represented by several coaches [all of which are from boys' teams] and we hope to try and get the girls7 coaches t o become members and present a proposal to the state to sponsor a tournament." Indian Hill's team has a very good chance of winning this year's tournament, although there is some estremely stiff competition. livery team in the state has been invited this year. Wellman11 explains, 'This will give an opportunity to the Cincinnati girls to compete with girls from all over the state,"

Thompson 2-1 with new lineup by Traci Finkelmeier The Indian Hill Squaws varsity soccer team has taken on a new look since Coach Thompson opted to change his alignment. Struggling to develop an offensive punch, Thompson elected to change from three forwards to a four forward formation and consequently has compiled a 2-1 record since its inception Coach Thompson feels that the turn around is due not only to the new alignment, but also due to the fact that "the girls have adjusted to my style of coaching, and I am beginning t o adjust to coaching the girls." The Squaws were really up for their second chance at Loveland having salvaged a 2-2 tie in their first outing. The new formation proved successful in establishing an added offensive threat as the team defeated Loveland 4-1. Goals were scored by Tricia Craig, Traci Finkelmeier, Chris

see SOCCER, p. 12 OFF THE BENCH with Chris Kempc2inski Thank God Pete Kose got his hit!!! Not to say, however, that I had any doubts in its inevitability, but hopefully, we will now once again attempt to maintain a realistic perspective concerning our adoration of sports luminaries. Too often throughout the coursm of history, we overemphasize the importance ot atnletics in our lifestyles. .For aren't they supposed to be merely an outlet for our anxieties, apparently not. With the advent of multimillion dollar salaries, and the tremendous amount of money generated by the fans, we have seen sports adulterated. Take, for instance, the Super Bowl, a two week bombardment of statistics and predictions, which leaves the fans exhausted by the time the game rolls around. And therein lies the problem, we no longer look upon it as a game, but rather, as a way to make a buck. An innumerable number of useless collectibles accompainied "the quest for the Ty-breaker," from Pete Rose shirts, to silk screened portraits of Rose by some exotic looking, gray-haired, moptop, renegade from the sixties

Rose reflects state of athIetics named Andy Wmhoi. a h a t is ironic, is that Warhol admitted that he didn't even like baseball, and never even met Pete Rose. So why did he do it? Because he knew how to prey upon some fan half way across the country who had an insatiable desire for his reproduction. But don't be so naive as to think that your fellow Cincinnatians didn't monopolize upon your "Pete Rose fever." All one needed to do is wake up in the morning and from daybreak to well into the night one would have heard monotonous news stories on how Pete would or would not be in the lineup. Or maybe you'd see Marge Schott on T.V. with her canine companion Schottzie, telling everyone in her raspy voice how proud she is of Pete. However, what she so tactfully fails to mention is how much extra money those two consecutive sellouts garnered for her and that slobbering dog. But perhaps the most guilty party in overemphasizing the record, was The Cincinnati Enquirer. I can only shudder at the predicament the chief editor would have been in had we gone

to war that day, or had the President been shot. Should he include those secondary stories on the front page with Pete, or maybe he could put them back in the second section. Nevertheless, like everything else, The Enquirer is a business, and they realize that by heaping plaudits on Rose, they were going to sell papers. So whether or not you want the complete bibliography of Rose along with their intriguing quotes from everyone except Rose's new double turbo Corvette, given to him by Mrs. Schott, you're going to get it. Therefore, the obvious question which I would like to propose, is why do we idolize sports heros to such extremes? Is it because we, as humans, like t o ally ourselves with a certain group, and so by cheering for a team we become a companion of tens of thousands of other Reds supporters, or Bengal supporters. Or is it that we like to envision ourselves as a Pete Rose or Kenny Anderson leading our teams to victory before 50,000 delirious fans? I think it is a combination of both. B U ~

the one factor which sets sports stars apart, from say, the President, is the incredible special talent which they possess. We don't see masses of people wishing to be President, but rather, they want to be a Pete Rose. And the same principle applies to the other facets of the entertainment field. Living the life of Sting, with a successful movie and music career which reap him millions would seem the ideal life for most. However, I'm just as susceptible as the next guy in lauding sports or entertainment heros. For it is human nature to wish for something such as fame and fortune, though few will achieve it. And while largely negative in its tone, my column does not intend to detract from Rose's feat, nor to provide any answers for rectifying this problem. My only desire is t o see us once again return to the days where sports were played with integrity and when the amateurs dominated the athletic scene. But then again, I did buy a Pete Rose shirt and I have thought about what it would be like to be Sting.

student opinion

Should AIDS victims aftend school? by Jay Fitton We have been in school now for almost six weeks, and most of us would probably prefer to be somewhere else if we had the choice. However, for a handful of kids (approximately 5 2), there has been no school this year. Two children who have AIDS are attending school, but their presence has been causing boycotts such as the one a few weeks ago in New York City involving almost 18,000 children. Angry parents are demonstrating there as well as other cities a11 across the nation, demandkg that their children be protected from the disease. As one mother put it, "They send children home if they have lice or chicken pox, but not if they have AIDS. Now what kind of reasoning is that?" The controversy lies in the fact that even though health administrators insist that there is no danger of acquiring the disease through "casual contact," parents aren't convinced. Scientists who have studied the disease state that there are only two ways of contracting AIDS: through sexual contact, especially between homosexual men, or by exposure to infected blood. However, the general public either doesn't know this or doesn't agree. A recent poll ~evealedthat almost half of the population thought that AIDS could be trans-

mitted by sharing a glass with an infected person. Dr. Ronald Rosenblatt, a physician who has treated several people with AIDS, didn't help calm parents' fears when he said that there is a definite possibility that the disease could be passed on by blood from a cut or nosebleed, vomit, or by sharing a sandwich. It should be noted that most children with the disease either caught during childbirth from their mother, or from a blood transfusion. So far, nine states have publicly addressed the issue, most saying that the children shouldn't go to school. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta recently made a statement saying that they feel older children with the disease should be -"wed to ~ attend school, but t l ~ kyounger ones shouldn't ilntil more is

Mrs. Oliver said, "I think he should have a home tutor until more information is learned about how it [AIDS] is spread." Gretchen Froelich and Andrea Schwartz commented, "No, because they don't know enough about it. They have no clue about how it can be transmitted." Bessie Gatch felt, "They should be allowed to go because it's not contagious, and he has a right to come to school.'' Mr. Slater agreed, "I think he should come because there is more to school than book learning. Social interactions with other people are important, and

everything that is discussed in class is not put on a test." I don't think that students with AIDS should attend school. Although some may view this as discrimination, I feel that it is Letter for society as a whole. Too many times in topics such as this, we let our emotions cloud over what we know is right. The fact is, these children are sick, and we can't take the risk of them infecting another person just so that they can continue school. AIDS is a very new disease (the first reported case was in 1979), and there is no way we can know everything about it that need to know in order to justify the risk of spreading the disease. Although it is thought that it can only be transmitted by two ways, remember that it was also originally thought that it was only a homosexual disease. We can't take the chance of the disease getting out of control. That is why, until more research is done, children with AIDS must not b e glowed in school.

lems between people, Don't just abuse your enemy. Make up or totally ignore each other. So I urge all of you to end name calling in this school because it emotionally disturbs people and it creates problems. Also, I urge the administration to turn from drugs and alcohol (which people use to relieve prolems and emotions) and punish these name callers becasue they cause emotional problems which eventually lead up to the problems with drugs and alcohol.

Sauaws vie for State by Alissa Raleigh Facing the tail end of a rigorous season, the Squaws looked with lofty aspirations toward the last few games. Last Thursday, the Indian Hill field hockey team demmolished Seven Hills with a pelsistent offense and a strong defense. The Squaws' eight goals were scored by Emily Ruff, Kry+stn Bell, Michelle Harmon (who had three), Molly Higgins, Sara Wilson, and Diane Hancher. The previous match was less successful as they dropped a hard fought battle to Oakwood in the district championships by a score of 1-0. "The Squaws played well and hard, so they have nothing to be ashamed of. It was a good game," remarked Coach Hamm. During another one of the "incredible games," as Harmon calls them, the Squaws defeated Seven Hills with a 7-1 victory. Next week the Squaws will vie for the chance to advance to state. All games will be played at the home field.

'spider Woman' not a superhero by Jay Fitton Question of the day: Kiss of the Spider Woman is about ... A. A man who is bitten by a rare, tropical spider and 'is transformed into a sex-crazed psychopath. B, A huge, 100-foot radioactive spider that terrorizes a town during Homecoming. C. Spider-Man and Spider-Woman wedding. D. Whether or not kids with AIDS should be allowed in school. E. None of the above. The correct answer is, of course, "B." No, I'm only kidding-it's "E." Kiss o f the Spider Woman is a new movie in the TriState about two prisoners in a South American prison; one is a homosexual charged with raping teenage boys and the other is a political prisoner. Yes, I know you're thinking, "God, that sounds more stupid than the ones up there!" And you're right. It is a very unusual idea for a movie. But seriously, Kiss of the Spi-

der Woman is very interesting. The two prisoners develop a unique and touching friendship. The fine perform:,nces make this relationship seem perfectly plausible. What makes the movie so interesting is that whenever the two are bored, Molina, the homosexual, tells Valentine, the political prisoner, the story of his favorite movie. In effect, half of Kiss o f the Spider Woman is this movie within a movie. The brilliance is that this movie's plot parallels that of Kiss of the Spider Woman. There is very strong, deep symbolism in this movie. Much of it is not obvious. It doesn't become clear until after the movie is over. The ending and the three women in the film are especially symbolic. But what really makes Kiss of the Spider Woman stand out are the incredible performances, particularly WIlliam Hurt as the homosexual. He makes the character seem very realistic and hu-

shadowing of what is to come for A-ha.

Raul Julia is also very good as the political prisoner, and adds to the power of the film. Overall, I really enjoyed thL movie. It might not rank up there with Ram bo or Pee- Wee's Big Adven.ture, but it is a good movie in its own right. If you give it a chance, it will entertain you.

Former /Her finds Peace Corps invaluable by Kevin Walzer Mr. Alan Crew is pleased to see that, the Peace Corps is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. "The time I spent with the ' Peace Corps was the best two years of my life." The Peace Corps is a government sponsored agency which sends volunteer men and women to underdeveloped countries to aid in relief work: construction, teaching, and other forms of help. The program was launched in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy. Crew, a 1960 graduate of Indian Hill and currently a psychologist residing in Vermont, was one of the first to take part. He got involved in 1964, a year after Kennedy was shot. "I remember when my confvmation [of membership] came in-I was in my cap and gown graduating from Miami [University]," laughed Crew. "Right at the end of my college career." Crew proceeded almost immediately to begin preliminary training at UCLA for his Peace Corps post-"from September to December, 1964." Crew described the threeand-a-half-month-long session as "training in other cultures and other languages, different from American life." After completing his training, Crew left for Nigeria, Africa, the site of his Peace Corps assigment. This was in January, 1965. Crew spent the first of his two years in Nigeria as a high school teacher in Benin City. He was a jack-of-all-trades there- "I

taught English, French, biology everything. I also coached." At the end of his fvst year, Crew was promoted to the post of "volunteer leader." As a volunteer leader, he was in charge of "persuading lo* villages to contribute labor to building demonstration primary schools for the eight teacher training colleges in

Alan Crew in 1960. the area." The Peace Corps would provide materials and some labor to the demonstration schools, which were to be laboratories for the fledgling Nigerian teachers; they would practice and hone their techniques there before actually assuming teaching duties. Crew recalled the endavor as being "reasonably" successful; several demonstration schools were built. However, soon after he left Nigeria in 1967, civil war ravaged the area in which he had been stationed, and destroyed many of the built schools. Crew indicated that falling short of projected goals is not uncommon in the Peace Corps, but

said, "I don't think that the Peace Corps should be too regulated in terms of 'achieving big projects.' That's not its purpose; its purpose is to bring people together, have them live and work together, and learn something from each other. The Peace Corps also contributes to a sense of international understanding, between the American people and the natives of the country where we work. 1 learned a lot my two years in Nigeria." Crew was asked why he felt motivated to give up two of his life to participate in the Peace Corps. He commented, "I think it was a sense of adventure as much as anything else; like a b t of people at the time, I was caught up in 'The New Frontier' [Kennedy's election campaign slogan]. There was also a desire to do some good for someone else." That "doing of good" has kept the Peace Corps going for twenty-five years, and Crew believes that the program has the potential to thrive for quite a bit

Paae - 5

of time in the future. "Like I said, I think if it doesn't come under strict regulation, it can last. The sense of responsibility I had as a 23-year-old was incredible-having to get those demonstration schools built, I had t o make speeches, and convince people [the schools] were feasible." Despite the 'growth he experienced in the Peace Corps, though, flawless. Crew believes it is not "One of the things that has upset me is that the program was founded as a two-way street-not only would we send Americans abroad, other countries would send their people here. We've lost the spirit of 'mutuality' that was in the Peace Corps' founding, because that's never been done." The program's few flaws do not appear to have affected Crew much, though. "I have to say, I absolutely loved my two years in Africa. Just the best times of my life. The experience I had was just..invaluable."

by Tom Taylor "Birth, party, turn old, then die," Chris Wilson states as he ponders his philosophy on life. Chris certainly does follow this philosophy, as anyone who has the fortune of knowing him may be all too aware of. "I like to do things until they are on the edge of breaking," Chris explains. Interpreted, he enjoys "pushing things to the max." One canl~otsay, however, that all Chris does is not at peace. His musical menu, for example, may be surprising to some. "Music is really a big part of my life," he explains. "I listen to all kindsclassic, the Boston Pops, mostly during Christmas.'' Before one becomes too surprised, Chris must confess. "I'm forced to listen to it [classical music] ," he explains, "because my dad turns it up so loud that it's all that 1 can hear. It'll be snowing out and there's really nowhere I can go to escape it." His truly favorite music differs slightly from that of his father's.

"Anything that's radical or rebellious," Chris states, "the Violent Femmes, Led zeppelin, or any hard rock - I'll take it. "I'm a 'Deadhead,' " he continues. "I went to their concert. It was a trip. "I like punk also, but I can't get into the style. I see them shayine their heads: it's absurd." So where does this person named Chris Wilson come from? He was born in Cincinnati but moved to Connecticut where he attended school until the fifth grade. He then returned to Cincinnati and attended Indian Hill before changing to All Saints in the eighth grade. For high school, he attended Moeller and has now returned to Indian Hill. for his senior year. ". . . and here I am," he explains. "The administration at Moeller sucked," he recalls, "and the students were too egotistical. "At Indian Hill it's more relaxed. It's a nice school because you have freedom and vou're re- - - - -spected as an individual." In addition to music and

school, Chris's car is also a major part of his life. "I consider it a jam system on wheels," he comments. "It's also very fast. "All my friends love my car because of all the things we've done in it," he says with a laugh and without elaborating. "Other

To relieve some of the stress of her packed schedule, Diane occasionally plays the piano. "I have played for eight years. I got to the point where I could play a twenty page Beethoven piece. I can't handle it too much anymore." Looking to the future, Diane sees herself majoring in business or psychology. "Although Miss Hackman has me made out to be an engineer."

Rumbargeradapts by Alissa Raleigh "Being a teacher doesn't mean I've stopped learning, in fact, I've learned an enormous amount at Indian Hill," deducted one of Indian Hill's more recent faculty additions, Mrs. Melissa Rumbarger. Amiable and outgoing, Rumbarger offered her personality with virtually no cajoling. She further explains her roles as student and now teacher: "It was a real switch \a transiton that she made in about a week; graduating from Brigham Young University in mid-August and present for the beginning of our school year]. When you're a student, what you do essentially only affects you personally, but as a teacher, you are obligated to complete tasks responsibly. I've learned to prepare a class lesson and yet still be flexible enough to handle the individual class needs. Things don't always turn out the way I plan them: for better or for worse. In these last few weeks, I've gained a new perspective and I appreciate my old teachers more."

Chris lives on the wild side

,

by Tom Taylor "Birth, party, turn old, then die," Chris Wilson states as he ponders his philosophy on life. Chris certainly does follow this philosophy, as anyone who has the fortune of knowing him may be all too aware of. "I like to do things until they are on the edge of breaking," Chris explains. Interpreted, he enjoys "pushing things to the max." One canl~otsay, however, that all Chris does is not at peace. His musical menu, for example, may be surprising to some. "Music is really a big part of my life," he explains. "I listen to all kindsclassic, the Boston Pops, mostly during Christmas.'' Before one becomes too surprised, Chris must confess. "I'm forced to listen to it [classical music] ," he explains, "because my dad turns it up so loud that it's all that 1 can hear. It'll be snowing out and there's really nowhere I can go to escape it." His truly favorite music differs slightly from that of his father's.

"Anything that's radical or rebellious," Chris states, "the Violent Femmes, Led zeppelin, or any hard rock - I'll take it. "I'm a 'Deadhead,' " he continues. "I went to their concert. It was a trip. "I like punk also, but I can't get into the style. I see them shayine their heads: it's absurd." So where does this person named Chris Wilson come from? He was born in Cincinnati but moved to Connecticut where he attended school until the fifth grade. He then returned to Cincinnati and attended Indian Hill before changing to All Saints in the eighth grade. For high school, he attended Moeller and has now returned to Indian Hill. for his senior year. ". . . and here I am," he explains. "The administration at Moeller sucked," he recalls, "and the students were too egotistical. "At Indian Hill it's more relaxed. It's a nice school because you have freedom and vou're re- - - - -spected as an individual." In addition to music and

school, Chris's car is also a major part of his life. "I consider it a jam system on wheels," he comments. "It's also very fast. "All my friends love my car because of all the things we've done in it," he says with a laugh and without elaborating. "Other

She still can't understand how people can stand right next to a four foot sign reading "Three for a dollar" and still ask, "Uh, how much does this game cost?" To relieve some of the stress of her packed schedule, Diane occasionally plays the piano. "I have played for eight years. I got to the point where I could play a twenty page Beethoven piece. I can't handle it too much anymore." Looking to the future, Diane sees herself majoring in business or psychology. "Although Miss Hackman has me made out to be an engineer." She hopes to further her excellent schooling at Cornell, Emery, Bucknell, or Vanderbilt. Before this article comes t o a close, Diane would like to communicate the fact that she is a Y;omecoming attendant and still d ~ e not s have a date.

As for Chris's future plans, he would like to be a professional hair stylist. He hopes to attend a local hair styling college where he will obtain his license to practice. He explains, "It makes good money and it's something that I'd like to do.''

Rumbargeradapts by Alissa Raleigh "Being a teacher doesn't mean I've stopped learning, in fact, I've learned an enormous amount at Indian Hill," deducted one of Indian Hill's more recent faculty additions, Mrs. Melissa Rumbarger. Amiable and outgoing, Rumbarger offered her personality with virtually no cajoling. She further explains her roles as student and now teacher: "It was a real switch \a transiton that she made in about a week; graduating from Brigham Young University in mid-August and present for the beginning of our school year]. When you're a student, what you do essentially only affects you personally, but as a teacher, you are obligated to complete tasks responsibly. I've learned to prepare a class lesson and yet still be flexible enough to handle the individual class needs. Things don't always turn out the way I plan them: for better or for worse. In these last few weeks, I've gained a new perspective and I appreciate my old teachers more."

We hear ominous chorus voices throughout the piece, emphasizing Waaktaar's once again incredible vocal ability. This song demonstrates a final note slandering man's nature to avoid his problems rather than face them, The first single released from the album leads off the first side. On this song, lead singer and chief songwriter Pa1 Waaktaar demonstrates amazing vocal ability by displaying a three-octave range in one phrase. Aside from the impressive singing, this song is dominated by creative keyboard solos and background, as through the rest of the album, performed by a young man who calls himself simply "Mags." The next song is "Train of Thought." On this number, Waaktaar uses the lower range of his voice, a la David Bowie. It features innovative drum licks by percussionist Morten Harket.

'spider Woman' not a superhero by Jay Fitton Question of the day: Kiss of the Spider Woman is about ... A. A man who is bitten by a rare, tropical spider and 'is transformed into a sex-crazed psychopath. B, A huge, 100-foot radioactive spider that terrorizes a town during Homecoming. C. Spider-Man and Spider-Woman wedding. D. Whether or not kids with AIDS should be allowed in school. E. None of the above. The correct answer is, of course, "B." No, I'm only kidding-it's "E." Kiss o f the Spider Woman is a new movie in the TriState about two prisoners in a South American prison; one is a homosexual charged with raping teenage boys and the other is a political prisoner. Yes, I know you're thinking, "God, that sounds more stupid than the ones up there!" And you're right. It is a very unusual idea for a movie. But seriously, Kiss of the Spi-

der Woman is very interesting. The two prisoners develop a unique and touching friendship. The fine perform:,nces make this relationship seem perfectly plausible. What makes the movie so interesting is that whenever the two are bored, Molina, the homosexual, tells Valentine, the political prisoner, the story of his favorite movie. In effect, half of Kiss o f the Spider Woman is this movie within a movie. The brilliance is that this movie's plot parallels that of Kiss of the Spider Woman. There is very strong, deep symbolism in this movie. Much of it is not obvious. It doesn't become clear until after the movie is over. The ending and the three women in the film are especially symbolic. But what really makes Kiss of the Spider Woman stand out are the incredible performances, particularly WIlliam Hurt as the homosexual. He makes the character seem very realistic and hu-

shadowing of what is to come for A-ha.

Raul Julia is also very good as the political prisoner, and adds to the power of the film. Overall, I really enjoyed thL movie. It might not rank up there with Ram bo or Pee- Wee's Big Adven.ture, but it is a good movie in its own right. If you give it a chance, it will entertain you.

Former /Her finds Peace Corps invaluable by Kevin Walzer Mr. Alan Crew is pleased to see that, the Peace Corps is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. "The time I spent with the ' Peace Corps was the best two years of my life." The Peace Corps is a government sponsored agency which sends volunteer men and women to underdeveloped countries to aid in relief work: construction, teaching, and other forms of help. The program was launched in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy. Crew, a 1960 graduate of Indian Hill and currently a psychologist residing in Vermont, was one of the first to take part. He got involved in 1964, a year after Kennedy was shot. "I remember when my confvmation [of membership] came in-I was in my cap and gown graduating from Miami [University]," laughed Crew. "Right at the end of my college career." Crew proceeded almost immediately to begin preliminary training at UCLA for his Peace Corps post-"from September to December, 1964." Crew described the threeand-a-half-month-long session as "training in other cultures and other languages, different from American life." After completing his training, Crew left for Nigeria, Africa, the site of his Peace Corps assigment. This was in January, 1965. Crew spent the first of his two years in Nigeria as a high school teacher in Benin City. He was a jack-of-all-trades there- "I

taught English, French, biology everything. I also coached." At the end of his fvst year, Crew was promoted to the post of "volunteer leader." As a volunteer leader, he was in charge of "persuading lo* villages to contribute labor to building demonstration primary schools for the eight teacher training colleges in

Alan Crew in 1960. the area." The Peace Corps would provide materials and some labor to the demonstration schools, which were to be laboratories for the fledgling Nigerian teachers; they would practice and hone their techniques there before actually assuming teaching duties. Crew recalled the endavor as being "reasonably" successful; several demonstration schools were built. However, soon after he left Nigeria in 1967, civil war ravaged the area in which he had been stationed, and destroyed many of the built schools. Crew indicated that falling short of projected goals is not uncommon in the Peace Corps, but

said, "I don't think that the Peace Corps should be too regulated in terms of 'achieving big projects.' That's not its purpose; its purpose is to bring people together, have them live and work together, and learn something from each other. The Peace Corps also contributes to a sense of international understanding, between the American people and the natives of the country where we work. 1 learned a lot my two years in Nigeria." Crew was asked why he felt motivated to give up two of his life to participate in the Peace Corps. He commented, "I think it was a sense of adventure as much as anything else; like a b t of people at the time, I was caught up in 'The New Frontier' [Kennedy's election campaign slogan]. There was also a desire to do some good for someone else." That "doing of good" has kept the Peace Corps going for twenty-five years, and Crew believes that the program has the potential to thrive for quite a bit

Paae - 5

of time in the future. "Like I said, I think if it doesn't come under strict regulation, it can last. The sense of responsibility I had as a 23-year-old was incredible-having to get those demonstration schools built, I had t o make speeches, and convince people [the schools] were feasible." Despite the 'growth he experienced in the Peace Corps, though, flawless. Crew believes it is not "One of the things that has upset me is that the program was founded as a two-way street-not only would we send Americans abroad, other countries would send their people here. We've lost the spirit of 'mutuality' that was in the Peace Corps' founding, because that's never been done." The program's few flaws do not appear to have affected Crew much, though. "I have to say, I absolutely loved my two years in Africa. Just the best times of my life. The experience I had was just..invaluable."

student opinion

Should AIDS victims aftend school? by Jay Fitton We have been in school now for almost six weeks, and most of us would probably prefer to be somewhere else if we had the choice. However, for a handful of kids (approximately 5 2), there has been no school this year. Two children who have AIDS are attending school, but their presence has been causing boycotts such as the one a few weeks ago in New York City involving almost 18,000 children. Angry parents are demonstrating there as well as other cities a11 across the nation, demandkg that their children be protected from the disease. As one mother put it, "They send children home if they have lice or chicken pox, but not if they have AIDS. Now what kind of reasoning is that?" The controversy lies in the fact that even though health administrators insist that there is no danger of acquiring the disease through "casual contact," parents aren't convinced. Scientists who have studied the disease state that there are only two ways of contracting AIDS: through sexual contact, especially between homosexual men, or by exposure to infected blood. However, the general public either doesn't know this or doesn't agree. A recent poll ~evealedthat almost half of the population thought that AIDS could be trans-

mitted by sharing a glass with an infected person. Dr. Ronald Rosenblatt, a physician who has treated several people with AIDS, didn't help calm parents' fears when he said that there is a definite possibility that the disease could be passed on by blood from a cut or nosebleed, vomit, or by sharing a sandwich. It should be noted that most children with the disease either caught during childbirth from their mother, or from a blood transfusion. So far, nine states have publicly addressed the issue, most saying that the children shouldn't go to school. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta recently made a statement saying that they feel older children with the disease should be -"wed to ~ attend school, but t l ~ kyounger ones shouldn't ilntil more is

Mrs. Oliver said, "I think he should have a home tutor until more information is learned about how it [AIDS] is spread." Gretchen Froelich and Andrea Schwartz commented, "No, because they don't know enough about it. They have no clue about how it can be transmitted." Bessie Gatch felt, "They should be allowed to go because it's not contagious, and he has a right to come to school.'' Mr. Slater agreed, "I think he should come because there is more to school than book learning. Social interactions with other people are important, and

everything that is discussed in class is not put on a test." I don't think that students with AIDS should attend school. Although some may view this as discrimination, I feel that it is Letter for society as a whole. Too many times in topics such as this, we let our emotions cloud over what we know is right. The fact is, these children are sick, and we can't take the risk of them infecting another person just so that they can continue school. AIDS is a very new disease (the first reported case was in 1979), and there is no way we can know everything about it that need to know in order to justify the risk of spreading the disease. Although it is thought that it can only be transmitted by two ways, remember that it was also originally thought that it was only a homosexual disease. We can't take the chance of the disease getting out of control. That is why, until more research is done, children with AIDS must not b e glowed in school.

So I urge all of you to end name calling in this school because it emotionally disturbs people and it creates problems. Also, I urge the administration to turn from drugs and alcohol (which people use to relieve prolems and emotions) and punish these name callers becasue they cause emotional problems which eventually lead up to the problems with drugs and alcohol.

The Walnut Hills Eagles provided one of only three losses for the Braves. Gall scored the solitary goal in the Braves' 3-1 loss. "I'm really happy with our team play," said coach Mike Henry.

Sauaws vie for State by Alissa Raleigh Facing the tail end of a rigorous season, the Squaws looked with lofty aspirations toward the last few games. Last Thursday, the Indian Hill field hockey team demmolished Seven Hills with a pelsistent offense and a strong defense. The Squaws' eight goals were scored by Emily Ruff, Kry+stn Bell, Michelle Harmon (who had three), Molly Higgins, Sara Wilson, and Diane Hancher. The previous match was less successful as they dropped a hard fought battle to Oakwood in the district championships by a score of 1-0. "The Squaws played well and hard, so they have nothing to be ashamed of. It was a good game," remarked Coach Hamm. During another one of the "incredible games," as Harmon calls them, the Squaws defeated Seven Hills with a 7-1 victory. Next week the Squaws will vie for the chance to advance to state. All games will be played at the home field.

Thompson 2-1 with new lineup by Traci Finkelmeier The Indian Hill Squaws varsity soccer team has taken on a new look since Coach Thompson opted to change his alignment. Struggling to develop an offensive punch, Thompson elected to change from three forwards to a four forward formation and consequently has compiled a 2-1 record since its inception Coach Thompson feels that the turn around is due not only to the new alignment, but also due to the fact that "the girls have adjusted to my style of coaching, and I am beginning t o adjust to coaching the girls." The Squaws were really up for their second chance at Loveland having salvaged a 2-2 tie in their first outing. The new formation proved successful in establishing an added offensive threat as the team defeated Loveland 4-1. Goals were scored by Tricia Craig, Traci Finkelmeier, Chris

see SOCCER, p. 12 OFF THE BENCH with Chris Kempc2inski Thank God Pete Kose got his hit!!! Not to say, however, that I had any doubts in its inevitability, but hopefully, we will now once again attempt to maintain a realistic perspective concerning our adoration of sports luminaries. Too often throughout the coursm of history, we overemphasize the importance ot atnletics in our lifestyles. .For aren't they supposed to be merely an outlet for our anxieties, apparently not. With the advent of multimillion dollar salaries, and the tremendous amount of money generated by the fans, we have seen sports adulterated. Take, for instance, the Super Bowl, a two week bombardment of statistics and predictions, which leaves the fans exhausted by the time the game rolls around. And therein lies the problem, we no longer look upon it as a game, but rather, as a way to make a buck. An innumerable number of useless collectibles accompainied "the quest for the Ty-breaker," from Pete Rose shirts, to silk screened portraits of Rose by some exotic looking, gray-haired, moptop, renegade from the sixties

Rose reflects state of athIetics named Andy Wmhoi. a h a t is ironic, is that Warhol admitted that he didn't even like baseball, and never even met Pete Rose. So why did he do it? Because he knew how to prey upon some fan half way across the country who had an insatiable desire for his reproduction. But don't be so naive as to think that your fellow Cincinnatians didn't monopolize upon your "Pete Rose fever." All one needed to do is wake up in the morning and from daybreak to well into the night one would have heard monotonous news stories on how Pete would or would not be in the lineup. Or maybe you'd see Marge Schott on T.V. with her canine companion Schottzie, telling everyone in her raspy voice how proud she is of Pete. However, what she so tactfully fails to mention is how much extra money those two consecutive sellouts garnered for her and that slobbering dog. But perhaps the most guilty party in overemphasizing the record, was The Cincinnati Enquirer. I can only shudder at the predicament the chief editor would have been in had we gone

to war that day, or had the President been shot. Should he include those secondary stories on the front page with Pete, or maybe he could put them back in the second section. Nevertheless, like everything else, The Enquirer is a business, and they realize that by heaping plaudits on Rose, they were going to sell papers. So whether or not you want the complete bibliography of Rose along with their intriguing quotes from everyone except Rose's new double turbo Corvette, given to him by Mrs. Schott, you're going to get it. Therefore, the obvious question which I would like to propose, is why do we idolize sports heros to such extremes? Is it because we, as humans, like t o ally ourselves with a certain group, and so by cheering for a team we become a companion of tens of thousands of other Reds supporters, or Bengal supporters. Or is it that we like to envision ourselves as a Pete Rose or Kenny Anderson leading our teams to victory before 50,000 delirious fans? I think it is a combination of both. B U ~

the one factor which sets sports stars apart, from say, the President, is the incredible special talent which they possess. We don't see masses of people wishing to be President, but rather, they want to be a Pete Rose. And the same principle applies to the other facets of the entertainment field. Living the life of Sting, with a successful movie and music career which reap him millions would seem the ideal life for most. However, I'm just as susceptible as the next guy in lauding sports or entertainment heros. For it is human nature to wish for something such as fame and fortune, though few will achieve it. And while largely negative in its tone, my column does not intend to detract from Rose's feat, nor to provide any answers for rectifying this problem. My only desire is t o see us once again return to the days where sports were played with integrity and when the amateurs dominated the athletic scene. But then again, I did buy a Pete Rose shirt and I have thought about what it would be like to be Sting.

Ex~~xy school day, hundreds of Indian Hill students file into the cafeteria t o partake of handfuls of grease and sodium saturated fries, mounds of starchy processed entrees, and sugary, synthetic juices. This scene merits nightmare status in this newly health conscious society we live in. Sadly, most students d o not even seem t o be aware of the disservice they are doing for themselves by indulging in these "foods." Items such as french fries and cakes have practically no nutritional value and only do harm by festering one's body with cholesterol and various carcinogens. There is an almost appalling lack of such items as leafy and green vegatables in the Indian Hill student's lunch time diet. This editorial was originally planned t o be a criticism of the cafeteria's program itself; but after due -

consideration, Chieftain has realized that the real problem lies with the students. ARA Food Service offers a salad bar, green vegatables, and other worthy foods in limited quantities, but the students simply refuse t o eat them. ARA is a business, and it can only supply what its customers are willing t o buy. Chieftain hopes that students will examine their diets and alter them appropriately. The cafeteria is more than willing to supply more wholesome and nutritious foods. The students, however, must first decide that their bodies are worthy of that which is good.

editorial

Twenty-five years ago, President John F. Kennedy established a program that fed on little more than the enthusiasm of its mainly young participants: the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps, which sends Americans abroad to work in underdeveloped countries, has managed to thrive in its first quarter-century of existence, and has designated October 1985-September 1986 as its twenty-fifth anniversary year. An interview with 1960 Indian Hill graduate and Peace Corpsman Alan Crew in this issue of Chieftain gives some insight into the true attraction of the Peace Corps, which has been described as "the toughest job you'll ever love." In the article, Crew not only describes his two-year tenure in Africa, but voices his opinions on the potential future of the Peace Corps. Today, a program like the Peace Corps is needed Inore than ever, for the same reasons which fostered its founding: the internaional understanding and friendship created by the Corps is valuable in allieviating the tension dhich hangs over the world. The experience for thohc who participate rivals none in terms of learning 21!1111t other people, feels Crew. For this reason, ( :.,-w l ~ o p c sthat the Peacc Corps survives. We do, also. The Corps deserves to live t o celebrate a fiftieth anniversary. If it does not, not only will future participants be deprived of a truly valuable experience, but the world will bc robbed of an avenue, however stnall, for understanding between its vastly divided people.

by Chris Kempczinski In a hectic six game stretch over two weeks, the varsity Braves soccer team was able to amass a respectable 4-2 reeord, which leaves them at 8-3-3 for the season to date. Nevertheless, the team's two losses are deceptive, both times the Braves faced schools ranked in the top ten in the city. The most recent loss was this past Saturday to Turpin who combined a strong passing attack with an inpenetrable defense to blank the Braves 2-0, despite a strong performance by the defense. This loss came off a devastating Braves' victory in which the team was able to destroy league foe Deer Park, 13-1. While most aspects of the game were encouraging, a mental lapse by the Braves allowed Deer Park to score on a direct kick. IH's goals were scored by Steve Womack and Eric Metzger, who both had four, along with Chuck LaMacchia7s two goals and one goal being added by Trey Isgrig, Chris Kempczinski, and Mike Eaton. Hoping to avenge a previous loss last year in the tournament, which eliminated the Braves from state competition, the team faced last year's state champions, the McNicholas Rockets. In one of the strongest outings of the year, the team pulled out a 5-2 victory with goals being scored by Womack who had three and by Metzger who had two. The defense provided its typically s t ~ o n gperformance and held off a desperate McNicholas team t o carry the Braves to victory. Facing one of Indian Hill's staunchest rivals, the Braves went into Mariemont hoping to imp~oveupon their league record. And helped by the play of Meyer who captured his sixth shutout of the year, along with John Rabenold, Metzger, and Womack scoring all the team's goals, the Braves coasted to a 6-0 victory. Another league game of tremendous importance was against Madeira, a team whose record, which at the time was 7-1-1, was particularly impressive. Faced with a game of little ball control, both teams struggled for the early lead with Madeira scoring first. However, Indian Hill, twenty seconds later, came roaring back

seconds left. The Braves' second loss of the season came at the hands of Walnut Hills who were ranked fourth in the city. Facing a 1-0 deficit early in the game, the team could not overcome the Walnut Hill's defense and lost the game. Indian Hill's play, thus far,

with Scott Seibert scoring a goal. Womack won the game for the team on a penalty kick early into the second half to give the team a narrow 2-1 edge. And once again, relying on the defense, Indian Hill was able to stave off a Mustang rally which almost tied the game with two

has been superb, however, as all three of the Braves' losses have come at the expense of top ranked teams. And even with the loss to Turpin which Coach Vockell said, 'Would've put us in the top ten," the team can only look with optimism at the remainder of the season and then into the tournament. Meyer has had an excellent season and is a likely canidate for all-CHL, along with Womack, who, after a slow start, have come on strong the second half of the season to be once again, one of the city's leading scorers. Metzger has also been a vital part of the offensive punch, : as he has added ten goals. How- I ever, the highlight of the season has beer, the defense, comprised of Scott Farrell, Rabenold, Eaton, and Greg Long or Seibert alternating at stopper. Looking to the tournament the Braves are the number one seed for a double A school in this part of the city which provides them with a bye in the first round of play. And with several more games left in the regular season, the team has a chance to improve both their record and their play to bring a state championship in soccer to Indian Hill for the first time ever.

Girls await second annual state tournarneni by Joy Rowe The girls7 golf team has recently added many accomplshments to their season. The first tournament held was on September 28, at Centerivlle, when the team finished second behind undefeated Lakota. The difference between first and second was a mere four strokes, which the team feels can be made up in their next meeting. Kari Craig played especially well in scoring a 5 0. Craig once again pulled through at Middletown on October 2 by scaring another 50 on the front side of Wildwood Country Club. Joy Rowe was medalist with a fouroverpar 40. With their great improvement, the team should be ready to be a serious challenge in the second annual Ohio Coaches Girls7 State Invitational. This tournament was started last year by Indian

Hill on a trial basis by Woody Woodward (father of former IH studentlplayer Natalie Woodward). After its hupe success, Bob Ovington and Bruce Rowe have since taken over. This year's tournament will take place at O'Bannon Creek golf course and is scheduled for October 18. This year's tournament will be aided by golf professionals from Kenwood Country Crub and O7Bannon and by several volunteers from the Greater Cincinnati Women's Golf Association working as scorers. "In \vorking with the Greater Cincinnati Women's Golf Association, we hope to develop girls' golf into a state-sponsored tournament," stated athletic director Carol Wehmann. The point of the whole tournament is to show a need for a

state-sponsored tournament similar to the boys. Coach Marc Tirey added to Wehmann's comment, 'There is a Coaches Association which is represented by several coaches [all of which are from boys' teams] and we hope to try and get the girls7 coaches t o become members and present a proposal to the state to sponsor a tournament." Indian Hill's team has a very good chance of winning this year's tournament, although there is some estremely stiff competition. livery team in the state has been invited this year. Wellman11 explains, 'This will give an opportunity to the Cincinnati girls to compete with girls from all over the state,"

Braves hope to end losing streak tonight by Bruno Darre The varsity Braves play the Loveland ~ i ~ e tonight rs in what could be a very exciting homecoming game. Once again, aggresiveness and intensity are the factors the Braves will need to win. The Braves, who are 0-3 in their last three games, are hoping to end this bad streak and feel that there is no better time than tonight. Last week against Deer Park the Braves' lost the game on their failure to score twice when they were on the Deer Park ten yard line. The running game, having just been changed to a three back offense called the "Power-I," was severely croppled when junior Myron Cowherd sprained his ankle in the first half. (Cowherd has not practiced this week and may not play against the Tigers tonight.) The two scores by the Braves both came on pass plays. Quarterback connected with Mike Anderson for 26 yards and with James Johnson for 15 yards. Both extra points were converted by Paul Alvord, but the Braves fell short as the defense yeilded twenty-five points. Two weeks ago, the Braves faced a very strong team from Wyoming, a team which only lost to CAPE by one point (28-27) as

to state a result of a missecl extra pomt. Even though the Braves lost the game 35-7, they looked good and1 according to Coach Heizman, "lfl we play like this the rest of the season, we should win every game." The Braves' only in this game came when Berling hit Anderson for a touchdown, followed by Alvord's conversion. The varsity Braves began their losing streak against the Reading Blue Devils three weeks ago. The Braves were playing without their number one running back, Grey Freudenberg, who was out with an illness. This proved to be painful for the Braves' offense, which scored only one touchdown and had eight fumbles. It was a disappointing 35-7 loss and as Heizman remarked, "It's not the best we've ever played." Hopefully, the Braves' desire to end the three game losing streak will be carried through to- I night. The team is feeling confiden t, but also realizes that Loveland will be no pushover.
