The Braves dropped a 3-1
decision to the Glen Este Tro-
jans on May 1 at Indian Hill
The Braves played sloppy
baseball defensively and had
trouble hitting, finishing with 5
errors and only 3 hits.
The Trojans scored twice in
the first on line-shot iingles to
center. Then, the Braves came
back with one run in their first
at-bat: Tod Schneebeck got on
first, Matt Jones singled to center
and Kip Kerr knocked in Schnee-
beck.

to write private thoughts "be-
cause it forces me to think for a
change !"
If Fro's eyes sometime appear
somewhat bleary, he's probably
had another late-nighter in the
Chiefiain room. Currently co-
editor, Fro began as a typesetter
and basic peon freshman year.
"I remember circling every thing
I typed after the first issue," he
laughs. He advanced to news
editor junior year and then finally
coeditor. "I was apprehensive of
being editor, since my brother
Dave was an editor. . .I hate to be
compared to a sibling."
Fro, though outwardly a ser-
ious, intellectually profound
student, is a goofy hyper spaz-out
behind the walls of the Chieftain
room. "I dig Chiefiaiil disco
breaks, and all the funky people
here.:' Fro often amuses himself
and his peers by drooling on his
beard, jogging around the empty
halls of IH late at night, "finger
fighting" (ask him), and doing
an imitation of a starving baby
pterodactyl screaming "FEED
ME!" All of Fro's bizarre hunlor
probably rubbed off on him from
his lovable dog Sebastian, who
often needs Fro's loving care
(and valium).
Next year Fro will be attend-
ing Swarthmore College in Penn-
sylvania. Cincinnati will no long-
er be home for Fro and his par-
ents, as the family is moving to
Chicago's North Shore this June.
"But don't fret ," says Fro,
"y'alls can comes up to see me
anytimes y'alls want." We may
just take you up on that offer,
Fro!

The Indian Hill Varsity base-

After Milford went ahead in
a 2 4 lead, the Braves threatened
to vault themselves into the
lead. Gary Kohls knocked in

second hit of the day. But, the
Braves left both runners on base

Milford scored three more

IH could not close the gap in their
final attempt.
Kip Kerr took the pitching

Mark Gottschalk's second con-

spent her summer staying with a
family in Caracas through Youth
For Understanding (Y FU), a
student exchange organization.
At present, Lori is Senior Search-
ing as a YFU worker. Luh main-
tains that "The best thing I got
out of the Venezuaela experience
was how to dance the Salsa, a
pretty obscene dance, I know,
but maybe that's why I like it!"
Soap operas also occupy a lot
of Luh's time. Every Oieftain
production night, Luh runs home
at three o'clock to catch her fa-
vorite show, "General Hospital."
She says, "I like them first, be-
cause the people are so honest
with each other; second, becaure
the guys are cute; third, because
you want certain people to go out
and they always do. The best
scene I ever watched was when
Laura almost gave in to Luke at
his office! Alihh! That was a
great one!"
Soap operas, Chieftain and
Young Life aren't Luh's only ac-
tivities. She's an avid seamstress,
a three-year veteran of the tennis
team (cocaptain her senior year),
a member of Chamber Choir, a
third-year "Pow-Wow"er, and of
course, a partier.
Matt Jones drove in 2 runs in
in the EHL. They added one run
in each of the first six innings
except the third.
The 12-hit attack was led by
Gary Kohls with 3 hits, Tod
Schneebeck and Paul Brown with
2 hits each, and Gottschalk with
a triple.
Dave Budig drove in three runs
and Tod Schneebeck continued
his consistent pitching in leading
the Braves to a 9-3 drubbing of
Sycamore at IH May 5.
The Braves started their
offense by scoring three runs in
the second inning. With the
bases loaded, Kevin Egan layed
down a suicide squeeze bunt to
score Gary Kohls. Budig then
knocked in Paul Brown and Mark
Gottschalk.
In the third and fourth, Syca-
more tagged the Braves for one
run in each inning to narrow the
Braves' lead to 3-2.
But, in the fifth inning, the
Braves ran the lead to 6-2 with
a clutch single by Brown and a
sacrifice fly out by Schneebeck.

"At parties, I like to watch
peop!e B.S." she says. "I also
like to show up wearing my hair

Next year, when she's not try-
ing to find a husband who would
be willing to put up with her
(only kidding, Lull), Lori will at-
tend Indiana University with a
double major in Business and
Spanish. In two years, she hopes
to study in Peru so that she can
prepare herself for a job in Latin
American business.
Lori's participation in Chief-
tain has added a lot of spirit and
spice to Chieftain life. Although
she's willing to put up with thirty
or forty hours of C7ziefrairz busy-
work each week, Luh still charac-
terizes herself as an "easygoing
procrastinator." I'inally, though,
Luh has admitted the real source
of her interest in Chieftain. ''I2or
t!ie past nine years, I've liad a
secret crush on Boss Kincaid," she
claims. "I really go for bald
men."
For her classn~ates,the school,
the Chieftain staff, her coeditor
and especially Boss Kincaid, the
name "Luhmuhfuhsuh" will al-
ways have a very special signifi-
cance.

seventh, as the Aviators fell to
defeat.
For the second time of the
season, the Braves defeated the
Loveland Tigers by 2-0 May 6.
The Braves scored t h d r first
run in the bottom of the first,
when Tod Schneebeck singled,
moved to second on a ground out
by Matt Jones, went to third on
a wild pitch and scored on a
sacrifice flyout by Gary Kohls.
IH got their other run in the
fifth. Kevin Egan drew a walk
and moved to third on a single
by Dave Budig. Schneebeck then
hit a deep tlyball to center, allow-
ing Egan t o score.
Kip Kerr got the pitching win
for the Braves.
Earlier in the year, the Braves
shutout the Tigers 6 4 a t Love-
land.
The Braves were eliminated in
the first round of the sectionals
by Princeton 9-2, May 7.
The Braves gave up two runs
in the first, two in the third, and
three in the fourth.
IH did get a little help from
losing pitcher Mark Gottschalk,
who belted his second homer
of the year with one runner on
base.
The Braves closed out the
1980 season on a sour note,
a i n g to Glen Este 5-2 in an away
game May 8.
Glen Este had moved out to a
4-0 lead before Gary Kohls ripped
a triple into right center field and
came home on a single by Mark
Gottschalk.
If1 found themselves down by
four runs but narrowed th&ir
deficit to three when Dave
Budig's single, his second of the
day, knocked in Kip Kerr. How-
ever, that was all the damage the
Braves could do.
The Varsity closed the season
in third place a t 10-10 with an
8-6 EHL record. Tod Schneebeck
was named most valuable player
and Mark Gottschalk was named
most improved player. Gary
Kohls was named the team cap-
tain. Gottschalk led the team
with a 1.20 ERA and Kohls
batted -354 to lead the Braves
hitters. Other players recognized
for their efforts were Matt Jones
and Kip Kerr.

One of the most frequently-
used, trite-but-true phrases in
Student Government campaign
speeches has been "better rela-
tions between students and the
administration." But have our
elected Student Government of-
ficers and representatives lived up
to their promises in this area?
The fact is, a lack of communica-
tion is still a major
- problem
- in our
school system. A knowledge and
understanding of issues concern-
ing school regulations, and poli-
cies and administrative decisions
regarding student activities is vital
to ensure a unified school body
that can interact and function ef-
ficiently. More often than not.
administrators and Student go^:
ernment members alike are vague,
faculty members are uninterested,
and students are misinformed and
confused. Rumors inevitably
form when the facts are
not clear, and the only way the
facts can become clear is if com-
munication is improved.
Just who is responsible for
communication within our
school? In "real life,'' the press
informs the public of current
events and governmental affairs,
while the government itself con-
centrates on making the laws and
decisions. In a student setting,
however, I feel that such speciali-
zation is unnecessary, even harm-
ful, for it further complicates the
situation. Since Student Go-
vernment members, and ultimate-
ly, the administrators themselves,
are the ones who know (or should
know) what is going on, why not
communicate directly with the
students through publications
specifically for this purpose? If
this plan is not feasible, how

Musicfest, Prom activities, and
other rumor-ridden, controversial
topics. Ideally, of course, every
studcnt would be motivated
enough to go t o Student Govern-
ment and Board meetings and
find out information on his own.
However, this idea is impractical
and unrealistic, even if these
meetings were announced and at-
tendance were encouraged. In
addition, while student interest
and initiative is certainly com-
mendable, it should be unneces-
sary. In any kind of governing
situation, the leaders are respons-
ible for informing the public
about issues which will directly or
indirectly affect them. In my
opinion, Student Government
members should take full respon-
sibility for this task, and adminis-
trators should take a more active
role in making sure students are
accurately and adequately in-

The Indian Hill Braves' Varsity
Track Team finished fifth out of
five teams at the Greenhills Invi-

with 94 points, and Reading won
4th place with 64% points. The
Braves trailed the pack in 5th
place with 5 8% points.
A bright spot in the Braves'
loss was Dave "Bruce Jenner"
Dirvin, who captured 2nd place in
the pentathalon. The pentathalon
consists of 5 events: the 120 yd.
hurdles, 100 meter dash, the shot,
the mile run and the long jump.
Other strong performances
were turned in by Doug Free-

Aqua-Squaws came in 4th in the
state swimming meet held May 16
and 17 at Ohio State University.
Sue Drake posted an outstanding
swim in the 500 yard freestyle
with a 4th place finish. The 400
freestyle relay of Betsy Weller,
Sue Drake, Laura Husty and
Diane Remmel swam a 3 :44 :00 to
capture 3rd place in that event.
This win placed the Squaws
third in the EHL with a final
league record of 6 4 .
The Squaws began their com-
petition in the AAA Hamilton
County tournament last Friday,
May 16. Their first game was
against GreenhiUs and the Squaws
won by a score of 7-0. Mary
Brainard pitched her fnst shutout
of the season.
"Defensively, the Squaws
played their best all season," said
Mr. Wessinger.
In 7 innings,
Greenhiis only had 24 batters
and 3 hits. The Squaws ended
the game with a double play
executed by Lisa Goldsmith,
Chris Cucinotta and Diane Cuci-
. notta. Hitting leaders for the
Squaws were Susan Womack, 3-3
and Amy Heinz 3 4 .
At the Awards Banquet last
Monday night, Coach Wessinger
awarded Diane Cucinotta, hono-
rary captain ;Mary Brainard, most
improved player; and Chris Cuci-
notta, Most Valuable Player.
Their overall record was 10-6,
and he added that 10 victories
is a school record for the softball
Squaws. Coach Wessinger
finished saying that the Squaws
should do well in the next few
seasons because most of the
leading statistics were made by
either freshmen or sophomores.

Adequately educating the
gifted child creates many pro-
blems for educators. Selecting
a curriculum and creating an
educational atmosphere for gifted
children augments these basic
problems. Nevertheless, many
school systems try to provide
special education for their gifted
students.
Indian Hill began a program
three years ago to cope with this
problem. Sixty students in grades
1-6 enrolled in "Discovery Class,"
a program which pulled them out
of regular class for one day every
week.
The Discovery class students
were selected for their intellectual
'giftedness," not for special
musical, artistic or vocational
talent. According to Mrs. Norita
Aplin, Director of Curriculum
are accepted, ~chievementtest
scoreds in reading and math
are used to rank students for
entrance. Group IQ scores are
also used to evaluate students.
The cut+ff point is 135.
"Discyvery Class" follows a
three-fold curriculum. 'We are
making assumptions that the
intellectually gifted are able to
engage in problems which tax
their reasoning powers," said Mrs.
Aplin. Accordingly, they spend
time solving logic problems and
math puzzles for "reasoning de-
velopment."
The students also explore
topics they find interesting and
can share them with other
students. "They teach each
other,'' said Mrs. Aplin, "by
sharing what they study."
The program now holds 90
middle schools can be applied to
the high school, then about 12%
or 115 of the high school students
could be labelled "intellectually
gifted."
Presently, no special program
exists for the gifted in the high
school, but many students take
advantage of available options.
Most IH students who might
be labelled gifted take advantage
of the Advanced Placement Pro-
grams which are available in
several academic areas.
Often, a few IHers take some
of their courses at Xavier, Miami,
or U.C. Another option,' which,
according to Dr. Feltman, has not
yet fully been explored is that of
bringing in university teachers
part-time to teach certain classes.
"I think that Indian Hill is

adequately meeting the needs of
its gifted students is a goal of the

Joan Goldfarb and Chad
Christine will coedit the 1980-81
Chieftain. Chad and Joan will be
assisted by Rick Ruskin and Ann
Helferich, the managing editors.
Joan has typed for the Chief-
tain since her freshman year and
has written news and features for
the past two years.
Chad has also written news
and features since his sophomore
year and has participated in Chief-
tain production.
The position of managing
editor was added t o allow the
staff to produce an expanded
paper. Rick Ruskin has worked
on the Chieftain since freshman
year as a production staffer and a
writer. His coeditor, Ann Hel-
ferfch has worked as a typist, a
reporter and production staffer
since sophomore year.
Bob Kindel and Jay Schloss
will handle news for the Chieftain
of 1980-81. Rod Barr will run the
features department and sports
will be edited by Kurt Dusterberg
and Richard Stradling.
Another new editorship is the
position of magazine editor. Ter-
ry Cross and John Ries will co-
edit the Chieftime magazine
which will expand to contain
material on more than one topic.
Anne Greeno and Diane Mc-
Donald will act as production
managers. Stanage Elling will
manage business, and John Chris-

Baseball season
by Kurt Dusterberg
With the baseball season now
over, it is time to look at some of
the highlights of the Braves'
season that were overlooked:

"You gonna come out and go

by Rich Ruskin
After reviewing this year's
Student Government projects,
Scott Edwards and Julie
Schneebeck made some com-
ments about theb successes.
"I think that we've made school
more enjoyable," said Scott.
Julie and Scott attribute this suc-
cess to more organized activities,
such as SG forums, and more
clubs for activity penods.
Both Scott and Julie felt that
the Big Brothers and Sisters pro-
ject worked tremendously well.
"The pro~ect," relayea Scott,
"made the Freshman feel like part
of the group."
Working at the Beech Acres
Orphanage was another success.
"I think that this is really a super
service project," said Julie, "it
really generated some good feel-
ings."
As well as having many success-
ful accomplishments, Student
Government did have its pro-
blems. One problem which hap-
pened early in the year was the
cancellation of the Homecoming
float competion. "This was a
major downfall," stated Scott.
"It really hurt." Scott also feels
that cancellation of after-Prom .
activites was also a failure.
Another letdown, according to
Scott, was the failure of the class
cabinets. "It may be my fault,"
confessed Scott, "but I hope in
t h e future they will be used."
Julie, on the other hand, felt that
the cabinets were good publicity
for SG.
The Graffiti Board, according t c
Scott, "started off terribly. But

kept. Really first class.
2. WORST FIELD: Beechwood.
The field has one-half of a visitor
bench, an outfield like concrete,
and bleachers that are below the
field level - not to mention the
fact that they are wasp infested.
But what can you expect from
Beechwood?
3. BEST UNIFORM: Loveland.
Orange and white is just plain
boring.
4. WORST OBSTACLE-
AVOIDER: Kip Kerr, for run-
ning into a fence at full speed
while chasing a foul ball.
5. BEST HIT: Mark Gottschalk's
400 ft. homer on opening day.
"When I have kids," Gottschalk
said, "I'm going to take them to
Deer Park and show them how far
it went."

'The Baker's Wife' proves enjoyable

on Broadway, the. play flopped.
Now, at the world premiere of its
newly revised version, The Baker's
Wife, b y Stephen Schwartz and
Joseph Stein, has made its mark.
The play is a musical which
deals with a middle aged baker,
Aimable Castanier (Alan .North),
and his young, attractive wife,
Genevieve (Krista Neumann).
The setting is in a very small
village of France - so small, in
fact, that since their first baker
.died, they've had no bread. '@is
is why the arrival of a new baker
, is $ucYl an important event.
' The plot, though, is based-on the dominating duo protects the
the chauffeur of the Mhrquis,
Domin?qpe, who falls madly 'in
love with Genevieve. He coerces
her t o run off with him and she
leaves her husband behind. Being
a proud man, the Baker refuses t o
believe she has run off, and he
says that she is only visiting her .'up the merchandise and were

Musicfesters del ishted
by John Ries
Musicfest '80 ended a month
of various musical performances
at Indian Hill last Friday. Music-
fest was comprised of eight
musical groups and one soloist,
who performed for IH students.
Organizer Dave Schonberg
termed it a success due to "excel-
lent timing" and "the represen-
tation of all types of music
throughout the day."
A la tradition, the afternoon
began with several contemporary
jazz pieces, performed by the
Indian Hill Stage Band and
followed by a short performance
by the Chamber Choir. Then, the
music ranged from the Charlie
grown theme to "Purple Haze,"
including pieces written bv the
Beetles, Eric Clapton, the Doors,
and even a few original jazz pieces
written by IH students.
At the opposite end of the
music spectrum, a new group
called Secret Service entertained
the Indian Hill audience. Led by
Andy Baron, the group played
several acid rock numbers like
Hendrix and Cream. Also with
this group, New Wave made its
first big appearance at IH, as they
played "Anarchy in the U.K.." by

Adequately educating the
gifted child creates many pro-
blems for educators. Selecting
a curriculum and creating an
educational atmosphere for gifted
children augments these basic
problems. Nevertheless, many
school systems try to provide
special education for their gifted
students.
Indian Hill began a program
three years ago to cope with this
problem. Sixty students in grades
1-6 enrolled in "Discovery Class,"
a program which pulled them out
of regular class for one day every
week.
The Discovery class students
were selected for their intellectual
'giftedness," not for special
musical, artistic or vocational
talent. According to Mrs. Norita

scoreds in reading and math
are used to rank students for
entrance. Group IQ scores are
also used to evaluate students.
The cut+ff point is 135.
"Discyvery Class" follows a
three-fold curriculum. 'We are
making assumptions that the
intellectually gifted are able to
engage in problems which tax
their reasoning powers," said Mrs.
Aplin. Accordingly, they spend
time solving logic problems and
math puzzles for "reasoning de-
velopment."
The students also explore
topics they find interesting and
can share them with other
students. "They teach each
other,'' said Mrs. Aplin, "by
sharing what they study."
The program now holds 90
middle schools can be applied to
the high school, then about 12%
or 115 of the high school students
could be labelled "intellectually
gifted."
Presently, no special program
exists for the gifted in the high
school, but many students take
advantage of available options.
Most IH students who might
be labelled gifted take advantage
of the Advanced Placement Pro-
grams which are available in
several academic areas.
Often, a few IHers take some
of their courses at Xavier, Miami,
or U.C. Another option,' which,
according to Dr. Feltman, has not
yet fully been explored is that of
bringing in university teachers
part-time to teach certain classes.

Baseball season
by Kurt Dusterberg
With the baseball season now
over, it is time to look at some of
the highlights of the Braves'
season that were overlooked:

has a grass infield and it's well

by Rich Ruskin
After reviewing this year's
Student Government projects,
Scott Edwards and Julie
Schneebeck made some com-
ments about theb successes.
"I think that we've made school
more enjoyable," said Scott.
Julie and Scott attribute this suc-
cess to more organized activities,
such as SG forums, and more
clubs for activity penods.
Both Scott and Julie felt that
the Big Brothers and Sisters pro-
ject worked tremendously well.
"The pro~ect," relayea Scott,
"made the Freshman feel like part
of the group."
Working at the Beech Acres
Orphanage was another success.
"I think that this is really a super
service project," said Julie, "it
really generated some good feel-
ings."
As well as having many success-
ful accomplishments, Student
Government did have its pro-
blems. One problem which hap-
pened early in the year was the
cancellation of the Homecoming
float competion. "This was a
major downfall," stated Scott.
"It really hurt." Scott also feels
that cancellation of after-Prom .
activites was also a failure.
Another letdown, according to
Scott, was the failure of the class
cabinets. "It may be my fault,"
confessed Scott, "but I hope in
t h e future they will be used."
Julie, on the other hand, felt that
the cabinets were good publicity
for SG.
The Graffiti Board, according t c
Scott, "started off terribly. But

kept. Really first class.
2. WORST FIELD: Beechwood.
The field has one-half of a visitor
bench, an outfield like concrete,
and bleachers that are below the
field level - not to mention the
fact that they are wasp infested.
But what can you expect from
Beechwood?
3. BEST UNIFORM: Loveland.
Orange and white is just plain
boring.
4. WORST OBSTACLE-
AVOIDER: Kip Kerr, for run-
ning into a fence at full speed
while chasing a foul ball.
5. BEST HIT: Mark Gottschalk's
400 ft. homer on opening day.
"When I have kids," Gottschalk
said, "I'm going to take them to
Deer Park and show them how far
it went."
omore John Ries became the first lHer ever to place
7. MOST EXCITING MOMENT:

McDonald, Michele Radin, and Rod Barr also in one at-bat.

Although Student Government
was plagued with a number of
failures, Scott does not feel it was
due t o a lack of hard work. "The
Administration slowed us down,
but after about halfway through

out."
Commenting of the image of
Student Government, Scott said
"Before, it used t o be quiet, and
things were never followed

Trackmen finish season 6th in EHL
by Richard Stradling
The Indian Hill Braves' Varsity
Track Team finished fifth out of
five teams at the Greenhills Invi-
tational Thursday and Friday,
April 30 and May 1.
Northwest won the meet with
131 points, followed by Green-
hills with 110 points and Marie-
mont the only other EHL team,
with 94 points, and Reading won
4th place with 64% points. The
Braves trailed the pack in 5th
place with 5 8% points.
A bright spot in the Braves'
loss was Dave "Bruce Jenner"
Dirvin, who captured 2nd place in
the pentathalon. The pentathalon
consists of 5 events: the 120 yd.
hurdles, 100 meter dash, the shot,
the mile run and the long jump.
Other strong performances
were turned in by Doug Free-
man, Brad Heinbach, Pierre Collet
and Jeff Ertel. Tom Berry ran the
100 meter daih in 11.4 seconds,
establishing the fastest time of the
year, and Chris Gruber ran the
300 yd. low hurdles in 45
seconds.

The Indian Hill Braves' Varsity
and Junior Varsity Track teams
fared rather poorly at the Eastern
Hills League Meet Friday, May 9,
taking 6th and 5th places.
Sycamore's Varsity won the
meet with 104 points, followed
closely by Mariemont with 101
points. Farther back, Madeira
took 3rd place scoring 71 points
and Loveland took 4th with 68
followed by Milford with 64.
Indian Hill just nipped Deer Park
for 6th place, scoring 29 points,
with the Wildcats close behind
with 28. A poor Glen Este team
brought up the rear unable to
score a single point.
After the field events Thurs-
day, IH was in 5th place with 13
points on the strength of Tony
Haskett's 1st place in the long
jump. Other field event points
came from Don Pappas, 5th in the
high jump, Jeff Ertel, 6th in the
shot put, and Dave Rhodenbaugh,
6th in the pole vault.
Placing in the running events
were Doug Freeman, 4th in the
two mile run, Chris Gruber, 4th in
the 880 yd. run, Tom Berry, 5th
The IH Nomads came through
with an early try on a muffed ball
by St. X's fly half. St. X pene-
trated the IH backfield as they
came back with a quick try
leaving the score 6-6. St. X again
scored on a field goal and kept
their 9-6 lead until late in the
game. With less than 1:00 left in
the game, Marty Schaefer scored
on a penalty kick to tie the game.
Keys to the II-Iattack this year
Marty Schaefer at fly half, Tim
Tuttle at hooker, Rick Wilson at

The Nomads compiled a 4-2-1
record this season with losses to
St. X and Wyoming and wins later
in the season against Wyoming,

The junior varsity squad was
led by Dwight Poffenberger, who
took 4th in the mile, Jon
Groome, who took 5th in the 120
yard low hurdles, and Robert
McVicker, who took 5th in the
880 yd. dash. Other Braves
placing were Richard Stradling in
the 2 mile run, Greg McDaniel in
the long jump and the mile relay
team with Robert McVicker, Mike
Kearny, Ed Berry and Eric
Allaben.
Despite the disappointing
finish, Coach Bob West is optimis-
tic. "Of the 13 top team mem-
bers, all but 4 are returning next
year."
Softball Squaws finish best ever
by Amy Heinz
The Softball Squaws won an
important game against Milford
May 2,106. This win made them
4-3 in the league. A key defensive
play of the game was a running
catch in left field by Susan
Womack to get the Squaws out of
a bases-loaded 7th inning situ-
ation. The hitting leaders were all
3 for 4, and they were Mary
Brainard, Susan Womack, Mary
Griffith, Pam Lowenstein, and
Amy H e w .
The Softball Squaws lost a
close game to a tough Sycamore
team on May 5. The final score
was 10-7. Leading hitters were
Lisa Goldsmith, 3 for 4; and
Susan Womack, 3 for 4.
The Squaws began their
winning streak with their victory
over Ursuline on May 6. The
Squaws won 8 6 , and Joanne
Pierce went 2 for 2 and Lisa
Goldsmith went 3 for 4.
The softball Squaws knocked
Glen Este out of first place in the
EHL when they beat them by a
15-4 margin. The hitting leaders
were Diane Cucinotta, 4 for 4,
Pam Lowenstein, 3 for 3, Amy
Heinz and Mary Brainard, 3 for 4.
The Squaws had yet another
victory on May 9 when they beat
Loveland 136. Top batters were
Pam Lowenstein, 4 for 5 ; Chris
Tuke and Amy Espy, 3-- for 4.

Aqua-Squaws place
fourth in state
by Kama Brockman
The Indian Hill High School
Aqua-Squaws came in 4th in the
state swimming meet held May 16
and 17 at Ohio State University.
Sue Drake posted an outstanding
swim in the 500 yard freestyle
with a 4th place finish. The 400
freestyle relay of Betsy Weller,
Sue Drake, Laura Husty and
Diane Remmel swam a 3 :44 :00 to
capture 3rd place in that event.
This win placed the Squaws
third in the EHL with a final
league record of 6 4 .
The Squaws began their com-
petition in the AAA Hamilton
County tournament last Friday,
May 16. Their first game was
against GreenhiUs and the Squaws
won by a score of 7-0. Mary
Brainard pitched her fnst shutout
of the season.
"Defensively, the Squaws
played their best all season," said
Mr. Wessinger.
In 7 innings,
Greenhiis only had 24 batters
and 3 hits. The Squaws ended
the game with a double play
executed by Lisa Goldsmith,
Chris Cucinotta and Diane Cuci-
. notta. Hitting leaders for the
Squaws were Susan Womack, 3-3
and Amy Heinz 3 4 .
At the Awards Banquet last
Monday night, Coach Wessinger
awarded Diane Cucinotta, hono-
rary captain ;Mary Brainard, most
improved player; and Chris Cuci-
notta, Most Valuable Player.
Their overall record was 10-6,
and he added that 10 victories
is a school record for the softball
Squaws. Coach Wessinger
finished saying that the Squaws
should do well in the next few
seasons because most of the
leading statistics were made by
either freshmen or sophomores.

The average Indian Hill student carries a big aca-
demic load as a freshman at the high school. Then the
load decreases steadily, until the student has only three
or four courses his senior year, two of which are art or
the like. So where does the "academic atmosphere"
come in? Schools are suppposed t o be famous for
their encouragement of free thinking and creativity,
but where is it at IH? Granted, we are fortuna;;
enough to have teachers that strive for creativity

One of the most frequently-
used, trite-but-true phrases in
Student Government campaign
speeches has been "better rela-
tions between students and the
administration." But have our
elected Student Government of-
ficers and representatives lived up
to their promises in this area?
The fact is, a lack of communica-
tion is still a major
- problem
- in our
school system. A knowledge and
understanding of issues concern-
ing school regulations, and poli-
cies and administrative decisions
regarding student activities is vital
to ensure a unified school body
that can interact and function ef-
ficiently. More often than not.
administrators and Student go^:
ernment members alike are vague,
faculty members are uninterested,
and students are misinformed and
confused. Rumors inevitably
form when the facts are
not clear, and the only way the
facts can become clear is if com-
munication is improved.
Just who is responsible for
communication within our
school? In "real life,'' the press
informs the public of current
events and governmental affairs,
while the government itself con-
centrates on making the laws and
decisions. In a student setting,
however, I feel that such speciali-
zation is unnecessary, even harm-
ful, for it further complicates the
situation. Since Student Go-
vernment members, and ultimate-
ly, the administrators themselves,
are the ones who know (or should
know) what is going on, why not
communicate directly with the
students through publications
specifically for this purpose? If
this plan is not feasible, how

topics. Ideally, of course, every
studcnt would be motivated
enough to go t o Student Govern-

However, this idea is impractical
and unrealistic, even if these
meetings were announced and at-
tendance were encouraged. In
addition, while student interest
and initiative is certainly com-
mendable, it should be unneces-
sary. In any kind of governing
situation, the leaders are respons-
ible for informing the public
about issues which will directly or
indirectly affect them. In my
opinion, Student Government
members should take full respon-
sibility for this task, and adminis-
trators should take a more active
role in making sure students are
accurately and adequately in-
formed and comfortable with the
information they have received.

The Braves dropped a 3-1
decision to the Glen Este Tro-

The Braves played sloppy
baseball defensively and had
trouble hitting, finishing with 5
errors and only 3 hits.
The Trojans scored twice in
the first on line-shot iingles to
center. Then, the Braves came
back with one run in their first

first, Matt Jones singled to center
and Kip Kerr knocked in Schnee-

If Fro's eyes sometime appear
somewhat bleary, he's probably
had another late-nighter in the
Chiefiain room. Currently co-

laughs. He advanced to news

being editor, since my brother
Dave was an editor. . .I hate to be

Fro, though outwardly a ser-
ious, intellectually profound
student, is a goofy hyper spaz-out
behind the walls of the Chieftain
room. "I dig Chiefiaiil disco
breaks, and all the funky people

and his peers by drooling on his
beard, jogging around the empty
halls of IH late at night, "finger
fighting" (ask him), and doing
an imitation of a starving baby
pterodactyl screaming "FEED

his lovable dog Sebastian, who
often needs Fro's loving care
(and valium).

to clinch the victory.
The Indian Hill Varsity base-

to vault themselves into the
lead. Gary Kohls knocked in

Braves left both runners on base
after the first run.
Milford scored three more
runs in the top of the seventh and
IH could not close the gap in their
final attempt.
Kip Kerr took the pitching
loss for the Braves.
Mark Gottschalk's second con-

Soap operas also occupy a lot

She says, "I like them first, be-

in the EHL. They added one run
in each of the first six innings
except the third.
The 12-hit attack was led by
Gary Kohls with 3 hits, Tod
Schneebeck and Paul Brown with
2 hits each, and Gottschalk with
a triple.
Dave Budig drove in three runs
and Tod Schneebeck continued
his consistent pitching in leading
the Braves to a 9-3 drubbing of
Sycamore at IH May 5.
The Braves started their
offense by scoring three runs in
the second inning. With the
bases loaded, Kevin Egan layed
down a suicide squeeze bunt to
score Gary Kohls. Budig then
knocked in Paul Brown and Mark
Gottschalk.
In the third and fourth, Syca-
more tagged the Braves for one
run in each inning to narrow the
Braves' lead to 3-2.
But, in the fifth inning, the
Braves ran the lead to 6-2 with
a clutch single by Brown and a
sacrifice fly out by Schneebeck.

Lori's participation in Chief-

spice to Chieftain life. Although
she's willing to put up with thirty
or forty hours of C7ziefrairz busy-

Luh has admitted the real source

could only add one run in the
seventh, as the Aviators fell to
defeat.
For the second time of the
season, the Braves defeated the
Loveland Tigers by 2-0 May 6.
The Braves scored t h d r first
run in the bottom of the first,
when Tod Schneebeck singled,
moved to second on a ground out
by Matt Jones, went to third on
a wild pitch and scored on a
sacrifice flyout by Gary Kohls.
IH got their other run in the
fifth. Kevin Egan drew a walk
and moved to third on a single
by Dave Budig. Schneebeck then
hit a deep tlyball to center, allow-
ing Egan t o score.
Kip Kerr got the pitching win
for the Braves.
Earlier in the year, the Braves
shutout the Tigers 6 4 a t Love-
land.
The Braves were eliminated in
the first round of the sectionals
by Princeton 9-2, May 7.
The Braves gave up two runs
in the first, two in the third, and
three in the fourth.
IH did get a little help from
losing pitcher Mark Gottschalk,
who belted his second homer
of the year with one runner on
base.
The Braves closed out the
1980 season on a sour note,
a i n g to Glen Este 5-2 in an away
game May 8.
Glen Este had moved out to a
4-0 lead before Gary Kohls ripped
a triple into right center field and
came home on a single by Mark
Gottschalk.
If1 found themselves down by
four runs but narrowed th&ir
deficit to three when Dave
Budig's single, his second of the
day, knocked in Kip Kerr. How-
ever, that was all the damage the
Braves could do.
The Varsity closed the season
in third place a t 10-10 with an
8-6 EHL record. Tod Schneebeck
was named most valuable player
and Mark Gottschalk was named
most improved player. Gary
Kohls was named the team cap-
tain. Gottschalk led the team
with a 1.20 ERA and Kohls
batted -354 to lead the Braves
