The JV Braves' opening game

Dennis Dowling is still unsure of

his starting lineup. He explains,

"This is due to the fact that it has

rained so much that the team has

been unable to practice outside,

and I have been unable to prop-

perly evaluate all their talents. Of

course, all the other teams in the

city are having the same problem

so we are not behind in prepara-

tion compared to everyone else."

Last year the Braves finished

at 4-10, with seven of those losses

b y three runs or less. "Our prob-

lem last year was a lack of hit-

ting," stated Coach Dowling, "but

our defense was very good, and

our pitching was average."

This year Dowling thinks he

has a better hitting club, although

he has to see his team hit outside

first before describing the players'

potential. The defense is expected

to be just as good as last year.

great progress last year at first

Jim Atkinson could start as the

Braves' second baseman if he is

able to avoid injuries. Atkinson

major concern is his pitching

year have gone to the varsity

team, and now the pitching staff

has little depth.

Overall, the team has yet to

take its full form, but Dowling

sees his team as "building for the

goal for his players is quite

IH Industrial Arts Club by Ron Zesch and Chris Wiech

The Indian Hill Industrial Arts

Club secured a first place rank

with their efforts in this year's

Ohio AIASA (American Industrial

Arts Student Association) Compe-

tition.

Last Thursday and Friday,

twenty-two of the club's members

traveled to Columbus, where they

took the state title by beating Mt.

Giliad, a fourteen-time winner,

and twenty-five other Ohio based

teams. While attending the confer-

ence, state officers were elected

to positions for the 82-83 school

year. Chris Wiech was elected Vice-President for Ohio-AIASA.

Also elected was Steve Dubell for

the Southwest District Vice-

President in a land slide decision. The competition included

nineteen different events in which

W e e n Indian Hill IA Club mem-

bers received first place. Individu-

als won thirteen trophies inclu-

ding the sweepstakes trophy for

first place. The Industrial Arts

fields which were being judged

included events such as Drafting,

General Knowledge, Public Speak-

ing, Safety Posters, Parliamentary

Procedure and others.

The second part of the compe-

tition was a display of Industrial Atts projects ranging from draft-

ing to electronics. In this event,

twenty "merit" ribbons were

awarded to various members of

Indian HWs team. The trip fees were all paid for

out of funds earned previously

through the club's work. Last

year, for example, the club made

and sold numerous picnic tables and they plan to repeat this

money-making project again this

year. Other sources of funds are a

set of house plans which club

members engineered, '82 Pow-

Wow shirts, and the pennants sold

during last year's basketball

season.

Gru ber captures State diving -

title for second straig by Chris Schmalz

Senior Mike Gruber again won

the Boys' High School State one

meter during competition last

Friday and Saturday, March 5 and 6 in Canton, Ohio.

Gruber, who won the state

meet last year by only seven one-

hundredths of a point, coasted t o

the victory this year by twenty

points. Gruber's closest competi-

tor was Kurt Bubnis of St. Xavier

High School. "The competition

at state was not as hard as it has

been in the past," Gruber ex-

plained.

However, after winning sec-

tional~, Gruber came in second a t

Districts because he hit the board

on one of his dives. Due to his

mistake, Pat Evans of Glen Este

was awarded fitst place in Districts.

In two weeks, Gruber travels

to Milwaukee for the 1982 Indoor

Senior Nationals. In order to be able to enter the 1984 Olympic

trials, Gruber must finish in the

top eight at Senior Nationals. If Gruber does place in the top eight

at Senior Nationals, he is looking

forward to competing for a posi-

tion on the U.S. Diving Team.

Gruber, who was denied all American status last year, is pres-

ently applying again this year.

This award is presented ot the top

twenty divers in the nation. "I

hope I make it," he said, "But I can't tell - it is a very 'iffy' thing."

Next year, Gruber plans t o

attend the University of Michigan,

where he will be able to train under previous Olympic coach

Mr. Dick Kimball. Gruber is look-

ing forward to improving his ;

diving under who, he feels, is the

best diving coach in America. He will attend U of M on a two-thirds

diving scholarship.

'was with the exchange students in

France. In addition, Mr. Frank

Bunton aided the team, consisting

of John Reis, Andy Bahnfleth and

Lawrence Gallant, by conducting

practices prior>o the match.

After the first round of com-

petition, Indian Hill and Deer

Park were tied with 140 points

while Scott trailed by 30 with

110. However, by the end of the

next round, the visual round, In-

dian Hill lead Deer Park by 50

and Scott by 110.

Throughout the next three

rounds, the category, packet, and

IHIAC, cont. from p. 1 Speaking.

Extra effort and time in the

next three categories paid off

when the club scrapbook, pre-

pared by Doug Marsh, placed

first, and Outstanding Chapter,

represented by Rob Zesch, also

placed first. Also the Parliamen- tary Procedure Team, consisting

of Doug Marsh, Rob Zesch,

Chris Wiech, Steve Dubell, Kurt

middle of June. This contest will

give students an opportunity to

rank nationally.

by Nancy Hopple Sophomore Kitsa Tassian and

junior Todd Cox have been selec-

ted to attend the Spring Youth

Leadership Conference at Valley

Forge, sponsored by the Free-

doms Foundation at Valley Forge on April 29 through May 2.

The purpose of the Youth

Leadership Conference is to en-

courage youth to evaluate person-

al and national goals while adop-

ting a positive approach to re-

sponsible citizenship, patriotism,

and American heritage and ideals.

Those selected to attend the con-

ference have the opportunity to

hear speakers and to participate in

discussions with government, mili-

tary, business, church, and aca-

demic spokesmen.

The Cincinnati Chapter of

Freedoms Foundation selected

four outstanding area boys and

four outstanding area girls to

attend the conference and pays all

expenses for the eight students

through private donations to the

organization. Applicants, who

received forms from Mr. Gellert,

were to be sophomores or juniors

of excellent character possessing

high qualities of leadership and re-

sponsiblity as well as a desire for a

deeper understanding of the prin-

ciples on which our country was

founded. Applicants were also to

include a brief statement and a

letter of recommendation.

This year marks the first time

ever that any students from Indi-

an Hill High School have been

selected to attend the conference.

Both Tassian and Cox agree that

the conference should prove to be

"a rare and beneficial experience

that hopefully will be applicable

in future years."

Softball Squaws aiming to match 77-3 mark by Kurt Dusterberg

Girls varsity softball coach

Robert Wessinger has a great deal

of two things going into the Squaws' season: 1. talent, 2. en-

thusiasm.

The varsity Squaws have ten

of sixteen players returning from

last year's squad, so Indian Hill

stands a fair chance to equal last

season's 17-3 record. The team

has tremendous balance with six

seniors, two juniors, five sopho-

mores and three freshmen. So

what weaknesses could the

Squaws possibly have?

"We don't have any weak-

nesses," Wessinger laughed. "We

work two hours a day, seven days

a week. Right now, we're stress-

ing hitting because, early in the

year it is the hardest skill to de-

velop."

Wessinger has reduced his po-

tential players into his final team.

The competition, Wessinger feels,

will keep the players on their

toes.

"Right now, I don't know of

one player who has a starting po-

sition locked up. I always try to

have it so that there is always

someone ready to take any posi-

tion if someone starts to dog it."

Last year, Indian Hill finished

9-1 in the league, but that does

not indicate how tough it was for

the Squaws to win the title. Four

of those games were decided by

one run. 'Sycamore, Glen Este

and Loveland are expected to give

Indian Hill a run for its money in this year's EHL play.

In the five years Wessinger has

coached the varsity Squaws, he

has yet to win a tournament.

Last year the Squaws finished

third in the Hamilton County

Tournament. This year, Wessin-

ger's opportunity to win a tour-

ney trophy will come in the Har-

rison Tournament at Harrison

High School on May 14 and 15.

The format will be a double elim-

ination tournament with approx-

imately 16 teams entered.

Track Braves prepare for Sycamore Relays by Paul Monach

The 1982 boys' track season

kicked off in good fashion March

1, with nine meets plus the EHL,

Sectional, and District champion-

ships in sight.

The fast week of practice was

a conditioning period to get the

team in shape for more strenuous

workouts. The entire team prac-

ticed together, as Coach Bob West

said, "to help team unity." After

that week, the workouts have

been more specialized, and some

days have been set aside for tim-

ing everyone in most running

events. All of this points to the

first meet, the Sycamore Relays

Friday March 26.

In fact, the relays, particularly

the 1600 meter relay, have been

under special consideration. The

1600 meter relay has been weak

in past years, and hopes are that a

better group will be fielded this

year. The 400 meter relay team

of John Gennantonio, Jim Mor-

gan, Dave Rhodenbaugh, and

John Fitzmaurice will return from

last year and should do very well

with a year's experience behind

them.

Overall, the areas most in need

of people are the 400 meters, 800

meters, the hurdles, and the 1600

and 320Q meter relays. The dis-

tance areas are also in need of

more people, but two of the posi-

tions are to be filled by Richard

Stradling and Dwight Poffen-

berger.

On the other hand, the most

solid points are the sprints, the

shotput and discus, and the pole-

vault. Craig Carman in shotput

and discus and Rhodenbaugh in the pole vault are two hopefuls to

do well in the EHL and-other

* * * * * post-season meets.

In regards to total team suc-

cess, Coach West remarked, "We

feel that we can finish at least

third or fourth in the EHL."

However, next yea1 should be

even better, as most of the team,

as juniors this year, will be return- ing as seniors. Outside of the

EHL, next year's improvements

should be immense as a result of

the switch to AA status as well as

the more experienced group. There will be three home

meets this year. The first home

match against Loveland, following

the Sycamore Relays, will be

staged March 30.

Indian Hill's 'Sweat' to battle for Bates basketball title today

by Chieftain sports staff

The McNicholas-Mariemont

game will open the Student

Government sponsored Bates

Memorial Intramural Basketball

Tournament today at 4:00 p.m.

in the Indian Hill gymnasium.

Indian Hill will host eight area

teams today and tomorrow to

perpetuate the tradition of the

annual Indian Hill intramural

basketball tournament.

Along with Indian Hill High

School's team, "Sweat," the

tournament will include a team

from Western Hills High School,

Mariemont High School, Mc-

Nicholas High School, St. Xavier

High School, Moeller High

School, Sycamore High School,

and Northwest High School. The

fnst round of the tournament will

take place tonight, beginning at

4:OO. Saturday, quarter-finaland

semi-final action will begin at

1:OO. The finals will be staged

that night at 7 :30.

Moeller, a long-time intra-

mural powerhouse and last year's

tournament victors, is favored to

capture this year's crown.

"Sweat" team member Chris

Schurman conceded, "I think

Moeller has an edge in this tourna-

ment." Doug Ulmer, another

"Sweat" player, agreed.

Yet, both Schurman and U1-

mer figure "Sweat" will fair well

in the tournament. Ulmer pro-

phesized that the team "will prob-

ably make it to the semi-finals."

"Sweat" established a 14-0 record

against the five other Indian Hill

intramural basketball teams.

Last year, Indian Hill's repre-

sentative in the tournament, the

"BAMFS," lost to Moeller in the

first round. However, both Ulmer

and Schurman, former "BAMF"

members, feel "Sweat" is a

"much better team ." Ulmer cited

"more height and experience" as the major strengths of this year's

team over the "BAMFS." The

"Sweat" team members include

Bill Carroll, Craig Carmen, Charlie

Hall, John Kennelly, Pete Leu-

gers, Bill Skrabak, Ulmer, and

Schurman.

Today, "Sweat" will face

Western Hills at 5:00 in the fnst

round. Should they win, "Sweat"

will meet the winner of the

McNicholas-Mariemont game

tomorrow at 1:OO. Schurman

added, "I think we have a real

good chance; we're in an easier

bracket ."

Experienced tennis Braves

eying EHL and districts in'82 by Craig Johnson

The boys' varsity tennis team

will open its season next Friday March 26 with an away match against Columbus Westerville.

From there the team moves on to the Medina Invitational, a

tournament the Braves play in every year.

"Some of the top teams in the

state play in this indoor tourna- ment," said Coach David Swisher.

Swisher went on to say, "It's

good practice and good competi- tion for the team."

Last year's team played very

well and earned themselves a sec-

ond place finish in the league de- spite an overall record of 8-7.

However, this record is deceiving.

Last year's squad finished 5-1 in the EHL. The Braves' only loss

occurred in the last match of the

season against Sycamore, which

went on to win the league title. This year's team is out to avenge

that loss.

"We definitely want to beat Sycamore this year. In fact, that is one of my goals. I also am set on going to districts," said senior Charlie Hall.

The 1982 Braves look to be

one of the best teams in several

years. "This year's team has a lot

of talent. We lost just one starter to graduation and have a fleet of

juniors returning along with some

very promising sophomores," said

Coach Swisher. However, there have been several injuries to some

of the players.

Many of last year's JV players are trying out for the team. That

squad had an impressive season, ending up with an overall record of 9-2.

This season will mark the fust season in which the two new courts will be used. Swisher,

commenting on the addition of the new courts, said, "They're great! Now we can practice much

more easily and play all matches at the high school." In the past, three of the five matches were

played at the high school, and the . other two played at Stephan Field

Park.

This year, the team has ex-

panded its schedule to the maxi- mum of twenty-two matches.

Last year the team played only

fdteen matches. This season the

squad will play in the Princeton and Sycamore Invitationals. In

the past, these tourneys have pro-

vided good practice, and Indian

Hill has done fairly well.

Coach Swisher summed up the

team's thoughts perfectly when he said, "Our main objective is to

be as successful as we can and to

conduct ourselves in a respectful

manner, and, of course, to win the league championship."

French, Spc French Exchange

by John Christine Fourteen Indian Hill exchange

students returned from a three week visit to France Saturday, February 27. The group and their

chaperone, Mrs. Patricia Connelly, toured Paris and Angers in order to learn about French culture and improve their French.

The exchange students are

Michelle Adkins, Joe Alexander, Ellen Bishop, Vicki Carnardo,

John Christine, Kurt Dusterberg, Julia Gilsdorf, Chris Huff, Sherry

Kadivar, Lisa Nicholas, Diane Perlich, Dwight Poffenburger,

Janine Tschan, and Rosemary

Ward. In previous exchanges, IHers

had been hosted in Aix-en- Provence, France. However, this

year Aix canceled the exchange because not enough French stu-

dents could afford the overseas voyage.

Immediately after Mrs. JoAnn Wund, the exchange coordinator, received news of the lost link, she began to establish a new link with the help of an old acquaintance,

Mr. John Cassini. Cassini, a French teacher at Wyoming High

School, is currently teaching Eng- lish as a Fullbright teacher in Angers. Because Aix canceled only a few weeks before Christ-

mas vacation, Cassini had only three weeks to find host students and get the approval of the high

school in Angers, Joachim du Bellay .

After a slow start from the

New York airport, the group

arrived in Paris. While in Paris, the IHers visited the Louvre,

Versailles, Notre Dame, and other tourist attractions. They also vis-

ited various patisseries and

boulangeries and learned about French cuisine.

The group was housed in F.I.A.P. (Foyer International

d 'Accueil Parisien), an interna- tional residence for teenagers.

There, the IH students had several memorable experiences. For Joe

Alexander, "It was the time when

three days before vacation began. During those three days IHers

visited classes at DuBellay, went

shopping, or ate at La Gourman- dise, a well-known patisserie in Angers. When vacation began,

students joined in family activities and some vistied chateaux such as Azay-le-Rideau, Chambord, and

chion. After vacation; the group attended four more days of school before heading back to Paris where they stayed one night.

Seven Indian Hill students re- turned to Cincinnati Saturday,

February 27, after a three week trip to Spain. The exchangers in- clude John Lilly, Stacey Labahn, Kathleen Ringle, Jim Koster,

Mary Granger, Paula Greeno and Julie Champe.

Accompanied by Mr. Fogle or

"Dad," the students left Cincin- nati February 6 and amved in

Madrid twelve hours later. The exchangers spent three days in

Madrid and in nearby Toledo sightseeing, accompanied by res-

taurant and bar-hopping with other American exchange stu- dents. The students also toured

the famous El Prado museum and

saw Picasso's "Guernica."

On the fourth day of the trip,

the students took an eight hour

train ride to Gaudia, a town in the province of Valencia, on the Med-

iterranean Sea. In Gaudia the stu-

dents met their host families. Most of the IH exchangers had

met their host students previously

when the Spaniards came to the

Loire River Valley and is only

three hours by train from Paris and about three hours by car from the ocean. Angers is in the

heart of France's famous chateau region and has its own chateau in

the middle of town. Mrs. Connelly seemed happy

with the results of the exchange.

Birth '??@ 'Saving Babies Before poor child if he had heard the word of God today. That sort of thing could certainly be helpful, I'm sure a lot of people are darnned to roast eternally in Hell before they're even born, and we certainly wouldn't want a filet of baby au jus on our hands, now, would we?

Anyway, the conclusion I finally reached, being too lazy to actually read the article, was that

someone had probably arrived at a system of stockpiling babies in the womb, sort of a maternal all- savers certificate. That way, I reasoned, women would only have to go through with child-

birth once in their lifetime. One big birth instead of a lot of little

ones. Very efficient.

I still haven't read the article, and I was up until 1:30 the next

mor&gwriting the paper.

I I I This country was built on compromise. At its very

inception, at the point where it was "do or die" for the opposing capital punishment by John

I recently saw a headline in m e New York Times Magazine which read, and I quote, "Saving Babies Before Birth."

Now, before I continue, I want to explain the circumstance under which this was read. It was 8:00 on a Sunday morning; I was propped up at the breakfast table having been up very late the even-

ing before, or, rather, early that morning, and fur was growing on the roof of my mouth, all of

which ape sufficient reasons to

think in very strange ways. But there was one other situation, the

guiding force behind my behavior

that morning, a factor which en- tirely transcended all others. I

had a paper due at 8:40 the next

day, and I hadn't started writing

it.

So, as I sat, blearyeyed, star- ing at the white lettering against the grey background of the

photograph (expecting the baby returning my stare to leap off the

page and begin a song and dbce routine, no doubt), strange thoughts began to creep into my head. "Saving Babies Before Birth in what sense?" I asked myself.

This just goes to show the lengths to which the human mind

will go to avoid painful, drawn out work. Instead of running up- stairs into my room, spreading my books out on the floor and scrib- bling furiously, I sat at the table, chewing the same mouthful of

Cheerios and entertaining my very slow thought processes with the same idea for what must have been well over fifteen minutes.

The fmt image to rear its ugly head at the sight of that headline was one of the National Guard, an

entire detachment of troops, run- ning in there in full fatigues to

save that baby at all costs.

They'd probably give the mother fifteen minutes and then go in

with their guns blazing. Or may-

be they'd just blast their way in. Then I thought that perhaps

my first impression of the article was wrong. Perhaps it was refer-

ring to spiritual salvation of babies before chiidbirth. I could

The world today, as it has always been, is divided up

into extremes. The difference is that today, these extremes seem to be moving farther apart and seem to

be becoming more and more deaf to each other's pleas.

Compromises are tough, because they mean cutting off a hunk of the ideal; they mean giving, as well as receiv-

ing. But as the world's extremes move farther apart, compromise won't get any easier.

What this world could use (in addition to quite a

to abstract.

First, we have the issue of

economics. Every year, the argu- ment goes, many tens of thou-

sands of tax dollars are spent in

order to keep up the facilities in

which criminals are kept. We, the

law abiding taxpayers, are paying to feed our social misfits. Rising

costs make it impossible to

expand the prisons properly, in order to accomodate the increas-

ing rate of crime. As a result, plea

bargaining and other similar judi- cial solutions will put more and more criminals back on the stxeets

where they are doomed to com-

deterrence. The effectiveness of a deter-

rent can never be completely

determined. You cannot look

back on a year past and say that one hundred murders would not

have taken place if capital punish- ment had been practiced, unless

all of the one hundred murders

were committed by previously

convicted murderers. When some- one is about to commit murder, I

do not believe that he or she is

thinking about the possible conse-

quences of his act. Murder is most

often an act of passion, not logic.

of capital punishment is that it is a deterrent. This is fairly self- explanatory. We've all heard the line before, "people value life

any circumstance in which this

right should be taken away. Our

'Hot Legs Contest' begins Monday Dear Fellow Students,

We would like to thank every- one that has been recently getting involved in Student Government and hope that you continue your participation in the upcoming events.

Once again, SG will be contin- uing our Big BrotherIBig Sister project by attending the April 30 Reds game when Cincinnati meets the St. Louis Cardinals. We were

able to purchase the tickets at a special $2.50 group rate. Tickets will be distributed in homeroom for those who ordered them.

Also, IH will host the annual basketball tournament this week- end. Tournament rounds will be held Friday from four to eight

and Saturday, one to seven thirty. Admission is free so come cheer on IH's own basketball team, "Sweat". Their first game is

Friday at 5 :00.

The Service Committee was able to raise $300 from the com- puter dating service. Students were able to purchase a list of compatible dates and their phone numbers for $1.50. The money will benefit the heart fund.

The Service Committee has begun its new community project. Students will go to play with children, ages 3 - 1 1, at Children's Hospital every Thursday. All those interested should meet in the parking lot at 6: 15 and plan to return to school by 9:00.

The PTA is having the annual Rendez-vous May 7. Student

donations in the form of services, such as gardening or free dona- tions, will be auctioned.

ly of the students involved in lit- erature.

Let it be understood, however, that creative writers are quite dif- ferent from the intellectuals who wear inch thick glasses and talk

through their noses. They need not be in the top ten percent of

their class. They need not be those who strive for good grades.

Rather, writers may be the preps or the anti-preps or the freaks. They may be the outgoing, the easygoing, or those who walk the halls with their shirts untucked . They don't have to be the brains of the school.

Given that, the students in- volved in the arts are a separate group of people who, like the scholars and athletes, need recog- nition. The Chieftain is mostly concerned with journalists, not

tests that are being held. However, not only can a

Creative Writing Club be formed, but also a Moviemaking Club, or

the two can be combined. Hobby moviemaking is not just home

movies. It can also be a form of

creativity. Many kinds of creative movies are possible. Some exam- ples are animation, science fic-

tion, abstract films, and expres- sionism. Taken that way, movie- making is indeed an art.

In analysis, free expression of artistic abilities is quite restrained at Indian Hill. In my opinion, creative writing and expressionism may very well be accepted as edu- cation. After all, many jobs in- volve these kinds of skills. Whether or not Indian Hill will include them in its activities,

though, is for the future to show.

Hill graduates who have gone on to become financially successful in their fields. But IH can also

boast of having an alumni rich in artistic talent as well. One IH grad that falls into both of these categories is painter Lonnie C.

Blackley is proud of the fact that he paints what pleases him

instead of painting just to please the public. "I've seen painters

paint just to sell, and they don't put their best work forward," he maintains. "That's why I don't

like commercial art. I turn down three or four commissions at each show I appear at."

Blackley is also very religious,

W e interviewing Katie Robertshaw, I became so in-

trigued that I simply had to find out about her background, to dis-

cover what in her environment makes her such an active and

caring individual. I searched everywhere: at the hiraries, the

County Clerk's office, the police

blotter, and I came up with the

following data. Katie has nine siblings, all

older, and is an aunt ten times over. She also loves to travel,

planning to spend spring break in

Atlanta. Although I blackmailed her with the following informa-

tion, she has lapsed in her pay- ments, so here it is: she loves

peanut butter and jelly sand- wiches.

Katie's high school career has

been characterized by involve- ment, in Indian Hill as well as the community. She's a four year

veteran of the championship field hockey team. Her enthusiasm for sports does not end here, as illus-

IH grad Blackley gains esteem as painter senior sketch she goes and no matter what she

and music Katie loves movies, men, by Richard Stradling There have been many Indian

Hill graduates who have gone on to become financially successful in their fields. But IH can also

boast of having an alumni rich in artistic talent as well. One IH grad that falls into both of these categories is painter Lonnie C.

Since opening his Silverton gallery behind his house, Blackley says he "can't complain" about the amount of business he does. Blackley also appears in some twenty to thirty art shows a year throughout the country and has had buyers from around the

world, which has aided in spread-

very pleased. Time is of no value; it's the end result that counts."

Blackley is proud of the fact that he paints what pleases him

instead of painting just to please the public. "I've seen painters

paint just to sell, and they don't put their best work forward," he maintains. "That's why I don't

like commercial art. I turn down three or four commissions at each show I appear at."

Blackley is also very religious,

and whether restoring a 1967

Camaro 228 or painting rural scenes of the midwest, "by stay-

ing close to God, I know I will always be successful."

W e interviewing Katie Robertshaw, I became so in-

trigued that I simply had to find out about her background, to dis-

cover what in her environment makes her such an active and

caring individual. I searched everywhere: at the hiraries, the

County Clerk's office, the police

blotter, and I came up with the

following data. Katie has nine siblings, all

older, and is an aunt ten times over. She also loves to travel,

planning to spend spring break in

Atlanta. Although I blackmailed her with the following informa-

tion, she has lapsed in her pay- ments, so here it is: she loves

peanut butter and jelly sand- wiches.

Katie's high school career has

been characterized by involve- ment, in Indian Hill as well as the community. She's a four year

veteran of the championship field hockey team. Her enthusiasm for sports does not end here, as illus-

'Hot Legs Contest' begins Monday Dear Fellow Students,

We would like to thank every- one that has been recently getting involved in Student Government and hope that you continue your participation in the upcoming events.

Once again, SG will be contin- uing our Big BrotherIBig Sister project by attending the April 30 Reds game when Cincinnati meets the St. Louis Cardinals. We were

able to purchase the tickets at a special $2.50 group rate. Tickets will be distributed in homeroom for those who ordered them.

Also, IH will host the annual basketball tournament this week- end. Tournament rounds will be held Friday from four to eight

and Saturday, one to seven thirty. Admission is free so come cheer on IH's own basketball team, "Sweat". Their first game is

Friday at 5 :00.

The Service Committee was able to raise $300 from the com- puter dating service. Students were able to purchase a list of compatible dates and their phone numbers for $1.50. The money will benefit the heart fund.

The Service Committee has begun its new community project. Students will go to play with children, ages 3 - 1 1, at Children's Hospital every Thursday. All those interested should meet in the parking lot at 6: 15 and plan to return to school by 9:00.

The PTA is having the annual Rendez-vous May 7. Student

donations in the form of services, such as gardening or free dona- tions, will be auctioned.

Senior Barbie Howe recently received Indian Hill's Congressi award. Howe, along with approximately fifty other area award ners, receives an expense paid trip to Washington D. C. to visit

state representatives and other officials. Howe was chosen for award by a panel of

creative writers. Why canzt poets, 1 short story writers, and other creative authors have their own publication? If that is too much trouble, these people can have a special section in the Chieftain.

Activity period is another way that creative witers can get in-

But these two groups are not volved and get recognition. Why

contained in our school. We also this club, members can write, get have people of the arts. In this material published, and even get 1 cte d fo r A r t E x h i b i t i 0 n article, though, I shall speak most- information about literature con- -

ly of the students involved in lit- erature.

Let it be understood, however, that creative writers are quite dif- ferent from the intellectuals who wear inch thick glasses and talk

through their noses. They need not be in the top ten percent of

their class. They need not be those who strive for good grades.

Rather, writers may be the preps or the anti-preps or the freaks. They may be the outgoing, the easygoing, or those who walk the halls with their shirts untucked . They don't have to be the brains of the school.

Given that, the students in- volved in the arts are a separate group of people who, like the scholars and athletes, need recog- nition. The Chieftain is mostly concerned with journalists, not

tests that are being held. However, not only can a

Creative Writing Club be formed, but also a Moviemaking Club, or

the two can be combined. Hobby moviemaking is not just home

movies. It can also be a form of

creativity. Many kinds of creative movies are possible. Some exam- ples are animation, science fic-

tion, abstract films, and expres- sionism. Taken that way, movie- making is indeed an art.

In analysis, free expression of artistic abilities is quite restrained at Indian Hill. In my opinion, creative writing and expressionism may very well be accepted as edu- cation. After all, many jobs in- volve these kinds of skills. Whether or not Indian Hill will include them in its activities,

though, is for the future to show.

Birth '??@ 'Saving Babies Before poor child if he had heard the word of God today. That sort of thing could certainly be helpful, I'm sure a lot of people are darnned to roast eternally in Hell before they're even born, and we certainly wouldn't want a filet of baby au jus on our hands, now, would we?

Anyway, the conclusion I finally reached, being too lazy to actually read the article, was that

someone had probably arrived at a system of stockpiling babies in the womb, sort of a maternal all- savers certificate. That way, I reasoned, women would only have to go through with child-

birth once in their lifetime. One big birth instead of a lot of little

ones. Very efficient.

I still haven't read the article, and I was up until 1:30 the next

mor&gwriting the paper.

I I I This country was built on compromise. At its very

inception, at the point where it was "do or die" for the opposing capital punishment by John

I recently saw a headline in m e New York Times Magazine which read, and I quote, "Saving Babies Before Birth."

Now, before I continue, I want to explain the circumstance under which this was read. It was 8:00 on a Sunday morning; I was propped up at the breakfast table having been up very late the even-

ing before, or, rather, early that morning, and fur was growing on the roof of my mouth, all of

which ape sufficient reasons to

think in very strange ways. But there was one other situation, the

guiding force behind my behavior

that morning, a factor which en- tirely transcended all others. I

had a paper due at 8:40 the next

day, and I hadn't started writing

it.

So, as I sat, blearyeyed, star- ing at the white lettering against the grey background of the

photograph (expecting the baby returning my stare to leap off the

page and begin a song and dbce routine, no doubt), strange thoughts began to creep into my head. "Saving Babies Before Birth in what sense?" I asked myself.

This just goes to show the lengths to which the human mind

will go to avoid painful, drawn out work. Instead of running up- stairs into my room, spreading my books out on the floor and scrib- bling furiously, I sat at the table, chewing the same mouthful of

Cheerios and entertaining my very slow thought processes with the same idea for what must have been well over fifteen minutes.

The fmt image to rear its ugly head at the sight of that headline was one of the National Guard, an

entire detachment of troops, run- ning in there in full fatigues to

save that baby at all costs.

They'd probably give the mother fifteen minutes and then go in

with their guns blazing. Or may-

be they'd just blast their way in. Then I thought that perhaps

my first impression of the article was wrong. Perhaps it was refer-

ring to spiritual salvation of babies before chiidbirth. I could

The world today, as it has always been, is divided up

into extremes. The difference is that today, these extremes seem to be moving farther apart and seem to

be becoming more and more deaf to each other's pleas.

Compromises are tough, because they mean cutting off a hunk of the ideal; they mean giving, as well as receiv-

ing. But as the world's extremes move farther apart, compromise won't get any easier.

What this world could use (in addition to quite a

to abstract.

First, we have the issue of

economics. Every year, the argu- ment goes, many tens of thou-

sands of tax dollars are spent in

order to keep up the facilities in

which criminals are kept. We, the

law abiding taxpayers, are paying to feed our social misfits. Rising

costs make it impossible to

expand the prisons properly, in order to accomodate the increas-

ing rate of crime. As a result, plea

bargaining and other similar judi- cial solutions will put more and more criminals back on the stxeets

where they are doomed to com-

deterrence. The effectiveness of a deter-

rent can never be completely

determined. You cannot look

back on a year past and say that one hundred murders would not

have taken place if capital punish- ment had been practiced, unless

all of the one hundred murders

were committed by previously

convicted murderers. When some- one is about to commit murder, I

do not believe that he or she is

thinking about the possible conse-

quences of his act. Murder is most

often an act of passion, not logic.

of capital punishment is that it is a deterrent. This is fairly self- explanatory. We've all heard the line before, "people value life

The third argument is not one to which all people who are pro-

any circumstance in which this

right should be taken away. Our

Experienced tennis Braves

eying EHL and districts in'82 by Craig Johnson

The boys' varsity tennis team

will open its season next Friday March 26 with an away match against Columbus Westerville.

From there the team moves on to the Medina Invitational, a

tournament the Braves play in every year.

"Some of the top teams in the

state play in this indoor tourna- ment," said Coach David Swisher.

Swisher went on to say, "It's

good practice and good competi- tion for the team."

Last year's team played very

well and earned themselves a sec-

ond place finish in the league de- spite an overall record of 8-7.

However, this record is deceiving.

Last year's squad finished 5-1 in the EHL. The Braves' only loss

occurred in the last match of the

season against Sycamore, which

went on to win the league title. This year's team is out to avenge

that loss.

"We definitely want to beat Sycamore this year. In fact, that is one of my goals. I also am set on going to districts," said senior Charlie Hall.

The 1982 Braves look to be

one of the best teams in several

years. "This year's team has a lot

of talent. We lost just one starter to graduation and have a fleet of

juniors returning along with some

very promising sophomores," said

Coach Swisher. However, there have been several injuries to some

of the players.

Many of last year's JV players are trying out for the team. That

squad had an impressive season, ending up with an overall record of 9-2.

This season will mark the fust season in which the two new courts will be used. Swisher,

commenting on the addition of the new courts, said, "They're great! Now we can practice much

more easily and play all matches at the high school." In the past, three of the five matches were

played at the high school, and the . other two played at Stephan Field

Park.

This year, the team has ex-

panded its schedule to the maxi- mum of twenty-two matches.

Last year the team played only

fdteen matches. This season the

squad will play in the Princeton and Sycamore Invitationals. In

the past, these tourneys have pro-

vided good practice, and Indian

Hill has done fairly well.

Coach Swisher summed up the

team's thoughts perfectly when he said, "Our main objective is to

be as successful as we can and to

conduct ourselves in a respectful

manner, and, of course, to win the league championship."

French, Spc French Exchange

by John Christine Fourteen Indian Hill exchange

students returned from a three week visit to France Saturday, February 27. The group and their

chaperone, Mrs. Patricia Connelly, toured Paris and Angers in order to learn about French culture and improve their French.

The exchange students are

Michelle Adkins, Joe Alexander, Ellen Bishop, Vicki Carnardo,

John Christine, Kurt Dusterberg, Julia Gilsdorf, Chris Huff, Sherry

Kadivar, Lisa Nicholas, Diane Perlich, Dwight Poffenburger,

Janine Tschan, and Rosemary

Ward. In previous exchanges, IHers

had been hosted in Aix-en- Provence, France. However, this

year Aix canceled the exchange because not enough French stu-

dents could afford the overseas voyage.

Immediately after Mrs. JoAnn Wund, the exchange coordinator, received news of the lost link, she began to establish a new link with the help of an old acquaintance,

Mr. John Cassini. Cassini, a French teacher at Wyoming High

School, is currently teaching Eng- lish as a Fullbright teacher in Angers. Because Aix canceled only a few weeks before Christ-

mas vacation, Cassini had only three weeks to find host students and get the approval of the high

school in Angers, Joachim du Bellay .

After a slow start from the

New York airport, the group

arrived in Paris. While in Paris, the IHers visited the Louvre,

Versailles, Notre Dame, and other tourist attractions. They also vis-

ited various patisseries and

boulangeries and learned about French cuisine.

The group was housed in F.I.A.P. (Foyer International

d 'Accueil Parisien), an interna- tional residence for teenagers.

There, the IH students had several memorable experiences. For Joe

Alexander, "It was the time when

some guy knocked on our door at 2:30 in the morning trying to sell me a coat!"

While the group saw most of the sights they had learned about

in French class, most of the stu- dents did not feel that they had improved their French speaking

and comprehension significantly. Besides bein8 in a group, the fact

rnish exchangers return that most Parisians spoke some English meant that one could get along speaking only in English. Most students, therefore, felt that the real culture shock did not oc- cur until they got to Angers.

In Angers, the exchangers

spoke French most of the day as o~vosed to meaking onlv a few - " . sentences a day in Paris. Ellen

Bishop pointed out that simply

listening to and speaking French is tiring. She added, "All I did

was sleep for the first few days." Lisa Nicholas remarked in regard

to her experience with culture

shock that "I was so confused - it was great. I kind of felt over- whelmed ."

The students arrived in Angers

three days before vacation began. During those three days IHers

visited classes at DuBellay, went

shopping, or ate at La Gourman- dise, a well-known patisserie in Angers. When vacation began,

students joined in family activities and some vistied chateaux such as Azay-le-Rideau, Chambord, and

chion. After vacation; the group attended four more days of school before heading back to Paris where they stayed one night.

Angers is a city of about 190,000 residents including its suburbs where most of the host

families lived. It is situated in the

Seven Indian Hill students re- turned to Cincinnati Saturday,

February 27, after a three week trip to Spain. The exchangers in- clude John Lilly, Stacey Labahn, Kathleen Ringle, Jim Koster,

Mary Granger, Paula Greeno and Julie Champe.

Accompanied by Mr. Fogle or

"Dad," the students left Cincin- nati February 6 and amved in

Madrid twelve hours later. The exchangers spent three days in

Madrid and in nearby Toledo sightseeing, accompanied by res-

taurant and bar-hopping with other American exchange stu- dents. The students also toured

the famous El Prado museum and

saw Picasso's "Guernica."

On the fourth day of the trip,

the students took an eight hour

train ride to Gaudia, a town in the province of Valencia, on the Med-

iterranean Sea. In Gaudia the stu-

dents met their host families. Most of the IH exchangers had

met their host students previously

when the Spaniards came to the

Loire River Valley and is only

three hours by train from Paris and about three hours by car from the ocean. Angers is in the

heart of France's famous chateau region and has its own chateau in

the middle of town. Mrs. Connelly seemed happy

with the results of the exchange.

from travels "I think it was extremely success- ful considering the time we had to set it up. I think even that we

had the exchange was amazing."

Besides learning about the French language and French culture,

Connelly observed that the stu- dents learned about "themselves

as ~eovle."

Softball Squaws aiming to match 77-3 mark by Kurt Dusterberg

Girls varsity softball coach

Robert Wessinger has a great deal

of two things going into the Squaws' season: 1. talent, 2. en-

thusiasm.

The varsity Squaws have ten

of sixteen players returning from

last year's squad, so Indian Hill

stands a fair chance to equal last

season's 17-3 record. The team

has tremendous balance with six

seniors, two juniors, five sopho-

mores and three freshmen. So

what weaknesses could the

Squaws possibly have?

"We don't have any weak-

nesses," Wessinger laughed. "We

work two hours a day, seven days

a week. Right now, we're stress-

ing hitting because, early in the

year it is the hardest skill to de-

velop."

Wessinger has reduced his po-

tential players into his final team.

The competition, Wessinger feels,

will keep the players on their

toes.

"Right now, I don't know of

one player who has a starting po-

sition locked up. I always try to

have it so that there is always

someone ready to take any posi-

tion if someone starts to dog it."

Last year, Indian Hill finished

9-1 in the league, but that does

not indicate how tough it was for

the Squaws to win the title. Four

of those games were decided by

one run. 'Sycamore, Glen Este

and Loveland are expected to give

Indian Hill a run for its money in this year's EHL play.

In the five years Wessinger has

coached the varsity Squaws, he

has yet to win a tournament.

Last year the Squaws finished

third in the Hamilton County

Tournament. This year, Wessin-

ger's opportunity to win a tour-

ney trophy will come in the Har-

rison Tournament at Harrison

High School on May 14 and 15.

The format will be a double elim-

ination tournament with approx-

imately 16 teams entered.

Track Braves prepare for Sycamore Relays by Paul Monach

The 1982 boys' track season

kicked off in good fashion March

1, with nine meets plus the EHL,

Sectional, and District champion-

ships in sight.

The fast week of practice was

a conditioning period to get the

team in shape for more strenuous

workouts. The entire team prac-

ticed together, as Coach Bob West

said, "to help team unity." After

that week, the workouts have

been more specialized, and some

days have been set aside for tim-

ing everyone in most running

events. All of this points to the

first meet, the Sycamore Relays

Friday March 26.

In fact, the relays, particularly

the 1600 meter relay, have been

under special consideration. The

1600 meter relay has been weak

in past years, and hopes are that a

better group will be fielded this

year. The 400 meter relay team

of John Gennantonio, Jim Mor-

gan, Dave Rhodenbaugh, and

John Fitzmaurice will return from

last year and should do very well

with a year's experience behind

them.

Overall, the areas most in need

of people are the 400 meters, 800

meters, the hurdles, and the 1600

and 320Q meter relays. The dis-

tance areas are also in need of

more people, but two of the posi-

tions are to be filled by Richard

Stradling and Dwight Poffen-

berger.

On the other hand, the most

solid points are the sprints, the

shotput and discus, and the pole-

vault. Craig Carman in shotput

and discus and Rhodenbaugh in the pole vault are two hopefuls to

do well in the EHL and-other

* * * * * post-season meets.

In regards to total team suc-

cess, Coach West remarked, "We

feel that we can finish at least

third or fourth in the EHL."

However, next yea1 should be

even better, as most of the team,

as juniors this year, will be return- ing as seniors. Outside of the

EHL, next year's improvements

should be immense as a result of

the switch to AA status as well as

the more experienced group. There will be three home

meets this year. The first home

match against Loveland, following

the Sycamore Relays, will be

staged March 30.

Indian Hill's 'Sweat' to battle for Bates basketball title today

by Chieftain sports staff

The McNicholas-Mariemont

game will open the Student

Government sponsored Bates

Memorial Intramural Basketball

Tournament today at 4:00 p.m.

in the Indian Hill gymnasium.

Indian Hill will host eight area

teams today and tomorrow to

perpetuate the tradition of the

annual Indian Hill intramural

basketball tournament.

Along with Indian Hill High

School's team, "Sweat," the

tournament will include a team

from Western Hills High School,

Mariemont High School, Mc-

Nicholas High School, St. Xavier

High School, Moeller High

School, Sycamore High School,

and Northwest High School. The

fnst round of the tournament will

take place tonight, beginning at

4:OO. Saturday, quarter-finaland

semi-final action will begin at

1:OO. The finals will be staged

that night at 7 :30.

Moeller, a long-time intra-

mural powerhouse and last year's

tournament victors, is favored to

capture this year's crown.

"Sweat" team member Chris

Schurman conceded, "I think

Moeller has an edge in this tourna-

ment." Doug Ulmer, another

"Sweat" player, agreed.

Yet, both Schurman and U1-

mer figure "Sweat" will fair well

in the tournament. Ulmer pro-

phesized that the team "will prob-

ably make it to the semi-finals."

"Sweat" established a 14-0 record

against the five other Indian Hill

intramural basketball teams.

Last year, Indian Hill's repre-

sentative in the tournament, the

"BAMFS," lost to Moeller in the

first round. However, both Ulmer

and Schurman, former "BAMF"

members, feel "Sweat" is a

"much better team ." Ulmer cited

"more height and experience" as the major strengths of this year's

team over the "BAMFS." The

"Sweat" team members include

Bill Carroll, Craig Carmen, Charlie

Hall, John Kennelly, Pete Leu-

gers, Bill Skrabak, Ulmer, and

Schurman.

Today, "Sweat" will face

Western Hills at 5:00 in the fnst

round. Should they win, "Sweat"

will meet the winner of the

McNicholas-Mariemont game

tomorrow at 1:OO. Schurman

added, "I think we have a real

good chance; we're in an easier

bracket ."

The JV Braves' opening game

will be played March 26 at home

against Finneytown, Coach

Dennis Dowling is still unsure of

his starting lineup. He explains,

"This is due to the fact that it has

rained so much that the team has

been unable to practice outside,

and I have been unable to prop-

perly evaluate all their talents. Of

course, all the other teams in the

city are having the same problem

so we are not behind in prepara-

tion compared to everyone else."

Last year the Braves finished

at 4-10, with seven of those losses

b y three runs or less. "Our prob-

lem last year was a lack of hit-

ting," stated Coach Dowling, "but

our defense was very good, and

our pitching was average."

This year Dowling thinks he

has a better hitting club, although

he has to see his team hit outside

first before describing the players'

potential. The defense is expected

to be just as good as last year.

from last year. Another sopho-

more, Dan Kremchek, showed

great progress last year at first

Jim Atkinson could start as the

Braves' second baseman if he is

able to avoid injuries. Atkinson

missed several games last season

IH Industrial Arts Club by Ron Zesch and Chris Wiech

The Indian Hill Industrial Arts

Club secured a first place rank

with their efforts in this year's

Ohio AIASA (American Industrial

Arts Student Association) Compe-

tition.

Last Thursday and Friday,

twenty-two of the club's members

traveled to Columbus, where they

took the state title by beating Mt.

Giliad, a fourteen-time winner,

and twenty-five other Ohio based

teams. While attending the confer-

ence, state officers were elected

to positions for the 82-83 school

year. Chris Wiech was elected Vice-President for Ohio-AIASA.

Also elected was Steve Dubell for

the Southwest District Vice-

President in a land slide decision. The competition included

nineteen different events in which

W e e n Indian Hill IA Club mem-

bers received first place. Individu-

als won thirteen trophies inclu-

ding the sweepstakes trophy for

first place. The Industrial Arts

fields which were being judged

included events such as Drafting,

General Knowledge, Public Speak-

ing, Safety Posters, Parliamentary

Procedure and others.

The second part of the compe-

tition was a display of Industrial Atts projects ranging from draft-

ing to electronics. In this event,

twenty "merit" ribbons were

awarded to various members of

Indian HWs team. The trip fees were all paid for

out of funds earned previously

through the club's work. Last

year, for example, the club made

and sold numerous picnic tables and they plan to repeat this

money-making project again this

year. Other sources of funds are a

set of house plans which club

members engineered, '82 Pow-

Wow shirts, and the pennants sold

during last year's basketball

season.

Gru ber captures State diving -

title for second straig by Chris Schmalz

Senior Mike Gruber again won

the Boys' High School State one

meter during competition last

Friday and Saturday, March 5 and 6 in Canton, Ohio.

Gruber, who won the state

meet last year by only seven one-

hundredths of a point, coasted t o

the victory this year by twenty

points. Gruber's closest competi-

tor was Kurt Bubnis of St. Xavier

High School. "The competition

at state was not as hard as it has

been in the past," Gruber ex-

plained.

However, after winning sec-

tional~, Gruber came in second a t

Districts because he hit the board

on one of his dives. Due to his

mistake, Pat Evans of Glen Este

was awarded fitst place in Districts.

In two weeks, Gruber travels

to Milwaukee for the 1982 Indoor

Senior Nationals. In order to be able to enter the 1984 Olympic

trials, Gruber must finish in the

top eight at Senior Nationals. If Gruber does place in the top eight

at Senior Nationals, he is looking

forward to competing for a posi-

tion on the U.S. Diving Team.

Gruber, who was denied all American status last year, is pres-

ently applying again this year.

This award is presented ot the top

twenty divers in the nation. "I

hope I make it," he said, "But I can't tell - it is a very 'iffy' thing."

Next year, Gruber plans t o

attend the University of Michigan,

where he will be able to train under previous Olympic coach

Mr. Dick Kimball. Gruber is look-

ing forward to improving his ;

diving under who, he feels, is the

best diving coach in America. He will attend U of M on a two-thirds

diving scholarship.
