Frosh capture third straight title
by Peter Batsakes
The freshman basketball team
finished its 1984-85
with a decisive victory in the EHL
title game over rival squad Syca-
more, 36-18. The Braves domina-
ted the Aviators the whole game
and their easy victory led them to
their third consecutive EHL title.
The Braves ended their season
with a 14-2 record, and even

by Tiffany Meyer
"The nucleus of the team is
coming back next year," com-
ments coach Dick Pfirman when
asked about his feelings concern-
ing next year's girls' varsity bas-
ketball team. The starting guards
and center will be returning next
season.
The Squaws lost a difficult
oattle, 45-30, to North College
Hill, who is still competing in
sectionals, in their first AA tour-
nament game. By the end of the
first half the Lady Braves were
down by one point, 21-20, and
playing well.
At the end of the third quar-
ter they were down five, but were
stiU close to catching up with
NCH. However, North College
Hill outscored the Squaws in the
fourth quarter. The leading scor-
er was junior Kristin Mains with
seven.

JV Braves end season 10-10
by Alissa Raleigh
"We achieved our goal of a 10-
10 record this season," observed
sophomore Ron Jones of the JV
boys' basketball team. The team
ended the year with a 9-5 record
in the EHL, putting them in third
place with Sycamore first and
Mariemont second.
The boys won their final game
of the season over Milford, with a
final score of 37-28. The Braves
got off to a rigorous start and re-
mained indefatiguable throughout
the close competition. Freshman
Jason Kincaid scored in the first
three minutes of the game.
After a free throw from Mil-
ford, in the last seven seconds of
the first quarter sophomore
Bruno Darre rolled the ball to
freshman Mike Eaton, who tossed
ord-setting win/loss ratio, as pre-
viously stated in Chieftain's last
issue, their court presence is like
none other ever seen in any other
freshman team assembled.
"We had a twenty-point turn-
around from the first Sycamore
game," said coach Steve Thomp-
son, whose team lost to Sycamore
5 2 4 2 in a triple-overtime thriller
earlier this year.
Over the season the Braves set
Braves played was against Milford
with a loss, 65-21. Before that
game the girls traveled to Madeira
and lost a r a t h a close game, 47-
34. Junior Chris Hall was the
leading scorer in that game with
a total of nine points, and senior
Amy Wiatt was the leading re-
bounder with six.
Pfirman commented, "The
team started out playing well this
season 19-51; then they went into
a spin and didn't recover." He
also thinks they "could've played
better," but they definitely im-
proved over last season, in which
they finished 9-10.
The leading scorer for the sea-
son was Cucinotta with an average
of 11 points per game. Coach
Pfirman believes Cucinotta and
Hall will play well next year.
However, he feels next season will
depend on the development of

it to junior Bill Baumel, who lob-
bed it into the net-a wellcalcu-
lated and expertly accomplished
execution.
The Eagles were tough,
though, and kept the game close
for much of the time.
On February 13 the Braves
triumphed over Madeira in a rout,
63-32. The game was fast-mov-
ing and IH usually had the lead.
Looking towards next year
there are several strong players
who will carry on with basketball,
such as the two freshman. Eaton
and Kincaid were major contri-
buters to the team this year.
Jones and Darre were chosen
to make the varsity roster for the
last two games of the year, just

looks promising.
records both for offense-49
points per game-and defense, on-
ly 29.3 points allowed per con-
test.
Mexico Hayden and Richie
Decker led the Braves' scoring av-
erage with ten points per game,
and each contributed nine and
seven rebounds per game, respec-
tively.

yet, though. The Wildcats scored
two baskets to cut the final defi-
cit to three, 6542. "We were
lucky time ran out," said Mc-
Kibben.
McKibben also praised the
play of "three or four people who
compensated for some who were-
n't playing well."
Senior Rick Abrams led the
Braves in scoring with 21 points;
with that performance, he broke
Dan Murphy's single-season scar-
ing record of 459 points, and
moved ever closer to Gary Frey-
tag's record 912 career points.
Senior Pete Seremetis added 17.
Also "playing well" were jun-
iors Mike Cohen and Andy Tuck-
er. Cohen's aggressiveness and
eight points "kept us in the
game" at several points, while
Tucker's 1 2 points "came at im-
portant stages."
Deer Park now awaits IH in
the second round of the tourney.
Although the Braves annihilated
the Wildcats in their first game
this season, they had to to into
overtime to beat them in their
more recent contest. McKibben
feels that is important.
"Deer Park is Deer Park, but
it'll be a tough game. It's hard to
beat a team three times in a sea-
son, which is what we will have
done. I do think we have more
depth and overall talent. But
they71 have to be ready."
After Deer Park is the winner
of Madeira and Wyoming. Then,
if IH beats the winner of that
game, they will be playing in the
sectional semifinals for a trip to
districts. That will likely be
against McNicholas, siad the
Braves' coach.
"They're really not playing
line of victorious seasons.
Although the freshmen only
lost two games this year, their
future was much in doubt at the
beginning of the season: they
seemed to lack the intensity that
is needed to be successful.
"Out improvement came from
the beginning of the season," add-
ed Thompson, who saw his team
lose both of their games in tough
overtime struggles.
Now that the freshman season
is over, much of the talent will be
nurtured and will make much of
the varsity and JV teams over the
next three years. "It was a dream
season," said Thompson. "It only
comes once in a coach's career."

chance to get within 20 or 25
points."
If IH beats McNick. . .
"Districts. Then regionals.
Then state."
Could IH get t o state?
"It's a long shot, obviously.
We'd be facing some tough teams
up at districts. But anything can
happen in the post-season, and if
we get on a roll. . ."
Enough said about that. The
Braves ended their regular season
at 11-9 overall and 8-6 in the
league to finish in third place in
the EHL's final year.
Sycamore managed t o repeat
as league champions with a 12-2
league record, with Milford alone
in second place with a 1 0 4 mark.
In the Braves' final home game
of the year, the Milford Eagles
completed their sweep of IH this
year by winning, 59-52. The
Braves simply could not control
the two-pronged attack of Tom
Geyer and Paul Pfeiffer in this
contest, as they combined for 43
points.
The moves of Abrams kept IH
in the game, as h e led all scorers
with 24 points. Senior Curtis Ott
had a solid floor game and was
the only other Brave in double
figures, with ten points.
The only other consistent per-
former for the Braves recently,
aside from Ott and Abrams, has
been Seremetis. Seremetis erupt-
ed for 18 points and brought
down 12 rebounds in a n exciting
win over Madeira, 71-70, to give
the Braves a 1985 sweep of the
rival Mustangs.
Abrams knocked down nine of
his 16 jumpers and made six free
throws to score 24, and Ott added
ten.

Indian Hill High School

SERB sets election date
by Paul Monach
Representatives of the Board
of Education, the Indian H a
Classroom Teachers Association
(CTA), the Independent Profes-
sional Educators Association
OPEA), and the State Employ-
ment Relations Board (SERB)
set Tuesday, March 26 as the date
for the long-awaited election of
an official representative of the
Indian Hill teachers in collective
bargaining.
The group met in Columbus
on Tuesday, February 19, after
the original meeting, scheduled
for February 13, was cancelled
due to inclement weather; the
committee of representatives sub-
mitted its proposal to the SERB
board on February 25, where fi-
nal approval was given.
Eligible voters will vote on a
secret ballot for either the CTA,
the IPEA, or for no representa-
tion. The actual voting will take
place from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at
the high school and from 3:30 to
4:30 at Wyandot; the votes will
be counted at 5:00 p.m. in the
high school auditorium.
After the election, collective
bargaining, as required under a
state law that went into effect
last April, will begin; SERB will
appoint a mediator for the nego-
tiations. The IH teachers have
been working without a salary
agreement-thus, without a pay
raise-for this school year.
The major issue that had to be
resolved at the February 19 meet-
ing was eligibility for voting in the
election. All sides presented their
views, and the SERB represents-
tives made the final decision.

In the past few years, Young Life, an out-of-school
organization, has gained a strong membership from
Indian Hill students. Understandably, the group is
always hoping to increase its membership, so, often,
non-member students are asked to come to a meet-
ing.
The problem with Young Life's recruiting tech-
niques is not that the prospective member is forced to
attend, but simply that he is not told the group's true
intent. In personal experiences, several of the staff
members have been asked to attend meetings, but
when they asked the group's purpose, the question
was side-stepped. Only after thorough questioning
was it discovered that Young Life's purpose is, to
quote its local leader, Brad Johnson, "to communi-
cate the basics of the Christian faith."
Rarely is the group's intent stressed during recruit-
editorial
In preparation for its annual Senior Special at the
end of the school year, Chieftain will have the senior
questionnaires available in the main office early next
week. In recent years, almost every senior has filled
out a questionnaire; we therefore urge each senior to
take and complete one, but just as importantly, to
take seriously the deadline for its return of Friday,
March 22.
Most people have little or no idea of the tremen-
dous effort needed to complete the Senior Special, in-
cluding editing, typesetting, proofreading, and page
setup, not to mention the later production work. In
order to print the issue on time, we must do the far
majority of the work on it between the issues from
late March to the end of the school year. Two years
ago, the Senior Special was printed a week late, in
large part because of the tardiness of many of the
completed questionnaires.
Also, any senior who may object t o having only
two and a half weeks to complete the questionnaire
and senior will is completely off base. Writing a sen-
ior will and answering five questions takes consider-
ably less time than a government paper and is more
fun, yet many seniors manage to finish a paper in a
weekend or even one night.
The obvious solution, then, is t o pick up a ques-
tionnaire early, take your time filling it out, keep the
language clean, and turn it in by March 22. As mem-
bers of an editorial staff that is almost completely
comprised of seniors, we naturally want this Senior
Special to be the best ever. We assume you desire and
expect the same.

It was not a particularly pretty

Braves' opening AA sectional
game against Blanchester Tues-
day, but it got the job done.
By defeating the Wildcats, 65-
62, IH set up a meeting in the sec-

with Deer Park tomorrow night.
The win was also a milestone
of sorts for the Braves; it was the
first sectional game they have
won in five years and their first-
ever victory in the AA tourna-
ment.
However, all hoopla aside, the
greatest thing about the victory

We are not, at this moment,
seeing a very happy bunch of
Braves.
A long basketball season is
winding down. Most other winter
sports seasons are over. Spring is
approaching. Thoughts of most
athletes are turning towards base-
ball, track, tennis.
It may be only coincidental
that the play of the Braves has
been decidedly less inspired than
it was in December and January.
In December and January IH beat
Loveland and Deer Park by 28
and 44 points, respectively; in
February, they squeaked past
Loveland by three and had to go
into overtime to down Deer Park
by two.

got the job done.
"It's often hard to get that
fvst win in a tournament game,
particularly if you're not used to
the pressure," he said. "We don't
really have anyone who has tour-
nament experience. In that sense,
it was a good win."
IH jumped out to an 18-15
lead in the first quarter. They
had been up by seven, 18-11,
when they "let Blanchester back
in it-they hit a couple of quick
buckets."
The Wildcats outscored the
Braves 20-18 and 18-17 in the sec-
ond and third quarters to tie at
53 entering the fourth quarter.
"We weren't playing well at all
in that stretch-really, we only
played real well for about three
minutes in the fourth quarter."
Blanchester outscored IH to move
ahead by three, 58-55; IH, how-
ever, ran off ten straight points in
four minutes to go up by seven,
65-58.

ter; it was, to put it lightly, bor-
ing. The Braves trailed Blanches-
ter at several points, coming alive
only in the fourth quarter to go
up by seven before letting their
opponents cut the margin to
three.
Perhaps it is only a coinci-
dence; it has not, however, es-
caped the notice of coach Dale
McKibben.
"We didn't play that well
against Blanchester," commented
McKibben. "We have had some
games where we've had to struggle
to win; that was one of them."
McKibben feels that several
factors appear to have contribut-
ed to the recent decline in the
quality of IH's play. This particu-
lar time of year, the changing of
winter into spring, seems be play-
ing a large role right now.
"I think 'spring fever' is some-
thing that has to affect a team's
mental attitude," he said. "They
[the players] get restless. We try
to find methods to keep their in-
terest up, like changing styles of
practice, varying the playing time
on the floor."
Beyond "spring fever," the
stresses of a long season appear to
have taken their inevitable toll as
well. That, said McKibben, is
both to be expected and under-

stood.
"When you realize that we've
been playing since the end of Oc-
tober, you understand that we've
had a long year. Basketball is a
long sport. I would think that
some people may be a bit physic-
ally tired."
With physical tiredness comes
mental tiredness. A lot of pres-
sure and hype have surrounded
the boys' varsity program this
year; "the march for the last EHL
title," "the Abrams scoring
chase," "the road to McNicho-
las."
Given the team's failure to win
the EHL title, which would have
to be considered the most impor-
tant goal of the season, a long and
hard road might appear to have
been travelled for nothing.
"The EHL was a big disap-
pointment, especially the way we
lost it," said McKibben. "We had
so many one- or two-point losses.
If the ball had bounced our way a
couple of times, we might very
well have wound up on top."
Indeed, the Braves' season this
year has been one of close losses.
"We played really well in a couple
of two-point losses. Those are
bound to be disappointing."
Does the disappointment take
a toll? Perhaps. It undoubtedly
March 1, 1985
plays a part in IH's recent lethar-
gy. The mental and physical fac-
tors have combined to erode the
quality of the team's play.
"But being athletes, I would
hope that they would still want to
play," said McKibben. "I would
think that they still have the pride
to compete at their best, and en-
joy the competition."
Does IH's recent play reflect
that attitude? It may be only co-
incidental, but the answer appears
to be "no."
On a less serious note, look for
Rick Abrams to pass Gary Frey-
tag's career scoring mark tomor-
row night. Abrams, with 964 ca-
reer points, needs just 19 against
Deer Park to surpass Freytag's
982.
The Franchise smashed anoth-
er long-standing scoring record
against Blanchester by setting the
new single-season mark for points
scored. Abrams, with 467 points
this season, passed Dan Murphy's
previous mark of 459.
However, Murphy did his in
19 games; Abrams took 21. Thus,
Murphy retains the record for per
game average in a season (24.2).
Abrams' 22.2 average puts him in
fourth place overall in the latter
category.

~ o n a c hnominated for Presidential Scholar
by David Cook
Senior Paul Monach was re-
cently informed of his candidacy
for one of 121 Presidential Scho-
lar positions. Monach is one of
only 1500 highschoolers in the
nation to be offered a chance to
compete for these positions.
Selection of candidates was
based on SAT and/or ACT scores
and on the selfdescriptive data
completed in connection with ei-

Musicia ns co mpete at 'contest'
by Jeff Currier
Thirtyqne IHHS musicians
participated in the Ohio Music
Educators Association (OMEA)
1985 Solo and Ensemble Contest,
held at Anderson High School last
Saturday. IH students earned 19
ratings of Superior (maximum)
and nine of Excellent.
This festival, universally refer-
red to simply as "contest," is held
each year at a local high school
and is open to all interested in-
strumentalists and vocalists. The
word "contest" is perhaps mis-
leading, as there is no real winner
involved.
Students perform individually
or in small ensembles before a
judge, who then gives them a rat-
ing from I to V, a I being "Super-
ior." The music a student per-
forms is selected from a prepared
list made by the OMEA Director's
Committee. The music is divided
into three categories, A, B, and C,
according to level of difficulty.
Soloists receiving ratings of I
(Superior) were: Jill Anderson,
flute ; Michele Brougher , clarinet ;
Jeff Currier, clarinet ; David Ep-
stein, trombone; Bill Haffner,
trombone; Ellen Hammond, pic-
colo; Andrea Hatfield, flute;
Stephanie Hug, violin; Cyndy Mc-
Clure, flute; Rob Nichols, French
horn; Karen Rhoad, violin; Rob
Seal, trumpet; Scott Seward,
trumpet; and John Sheringer,
trumpet.
Ensembles receiving Superior
ratings were: brass quintet (Gregg
Devanna, Joel Ruff, Haffner, Seal,
and Seward); clarinet trio (Terri
Wayne, Brougher, and Currier);
flute trio (Mary Ballard, Kim Dor-
an, and Currier); and percussion
ensemble (Doug Backus, Dave
Buck, Duncan Chalmers, Bill
Creedon, and Jeff Tuckey).

an excellent rating.
When asked about her first

Presidential Scholars will be
named for outstanding perfor-
mance in the arts or in creative
writing.
All 141 students chosen will
travel to Washington D.C. the
week of June 16 to be awarded
the Presidential scholarYsmedalli-
During their visit, scholars
get to meet not only govern-
ment officials, but also famous
educators, authors, musicians, and
scientists. They will, in addition,
tour museums and national me-
morials, and attend ceremonies in
their honor.
Each is given the Op-
portunity in the application to
identify the teacher who has in-
fluenced him the most significant-
ly. The teachers named will be in-
vited to attend a special reception
with their students and will re-
ceive certificates of excellence.
Monach has chosen to name En-
glish teacher Elizabeth Ackley for
this potential honor, stating as his
reason that "in addition to being
an excellent teacher, she has also
been a good friend."
Monach is already, by virtue
of his nomination, a member of
an exclusive club at IH. Among
the few past nominees from IH,

Monach felt "surprised to get
this. I thought a lot more than
1500 people had better scores
than mine."
He is, however, apprehensive
about completing the extensive
application form. "I'm not look-
ing forward to filling out about a
dozen general questions, but I
think I'll use an essay I've already
written."
Asked about his chances of
being named Scholar Monach re-
plied that they were "about as

no: become finalists were elimina-
ted either because their SAT
scores did not meet minimum re-
quirements or on the basis of an
application filled out last fall.
1500 finalists will receive
$2000 non-renewable scholarships
from National Merit Corporation
in May. Some IHers usually re-
ceive these scholarships each year.
In addition, many colleges and
universities offer four-year scho-
larships to qualifying finalists who
attend there. The most lucrative
awards, however, usually come
from large companies; to qualify
for these scholarships, a finalist
must generally either be related to
an employee of the company or
live in the area in which the com-
pany is based.

by Kenneth N. Jones
Senior Karen Wiedemer has
been chosen as a Congressional
Seminar representative and will
travel to Washington, D.C., March
13-15.
The trip will entail an in depth
look at the legislative process.
Said Wiedemer, "It's not like the
seventh grade trip. We will meet
a lot more people, not just see
buildings."
Although she will tour the ca-
pital, Wiedemer will also meet
Congressmen such as William Gra-
dison, so as to gain insight into
the human side of lawmaking.
Many "important" people are es-
pected to speak at the seminar.

Wiedemer was s~rrprisedwhen
she first received the honor. "I

I have an interest in politics, but
it's not incredibly large," she said.
As a career, Wiedemer is not

The aspect of the trip which

Commented Geier on his
award, "I, of course, was very

SG proposes a ternatives
for Spring exam schedule
Dear Students,
On Wednesday, SG had its
meeting for the month of Februa-
ry -
At the meeting, members
made proposals for an alternative
to last semester's exam schedule.
A poll will be released today zt
lunch for students to fill out
about their opinions on the exam
schedule last semester.
Proposals were also made for
an alternative to seniors taking ex-
ams. Service projects, speakers
and movies, or a combination of
the above were among the ideas.
Instead of seniors going to
school during the three days of
exams, seniors could either de-
vote three Saturdays of their time
to attend service projects, or
spend the last three days at school
doing some type of senior project.
Our ideas must be composed and
submitted to Mrs. Smith by Mon-
day, March 11. Your contribu-
tions and ideas are welcome.
Our March forum is also com-
ing up soon. SG has planned ei-
ther a prolcon debate over abor-

disc review - -
Collins develops style apart from
by Kevin Walzer
At this point, could it be said
that Phil Collins stands at a cross-
roads? The driving force behind
Genesis appears to be nearing one,
if he is not already there.
Collins has spent the last four
years working essentially on a so-
lo career, producing only one
Genesis album after 1981's Aba-
cab, 1983's Genesis. In that time
span, he has released three solo
albums.
The question as to where Col-
lins stands right now is brought
about by the fact that stock in his
individual career has skyrocketed
in the last ten months. Collins'
work on the Against All Odds
film soundtrack garnered an
Academy Award nomination for
Best Song ("Take a Look at Me
Now"), and his contributions to
Philip Bailey's Chinese Wall-he
served as producer and co-vocal-
ist-produced a critically ac-
claimed album and a top ten sin-
gle, "Easy Lover."
Then there is Collins' third
individual album, No Jacket Re-
quired. Judging by the scarcity of
the record in local stores, it isn't
hard to believe that it will main-
tain and even augment Collins'
current sought-after status.
But even without Collins'
other projects, No Jacket Re-
quired is excellent in its own
right. Although not a radical
change from the typical Collins
sound, it is slick, well-produced,
and a pleasure to listen to.
Side one opens with a trade-
mark Collins effort: "Sussudio."
Greeting the ears is the familiar
Collins rhythm, a heavy drumbeat
complemented by driving key-
boards and the Phoenix Horns of
Earth, Wind, and Fire. Such a
sound is to be found throughout
Jacket, balanced out nicely with
slower and at times thought-
provoking ballads.
movie review
Motley crew experiences unreaIistic 'Breakfast' DT
by Elizabeth Converse
It was a Thursday night, and I
highly doubted that there would
be droves of people at the movies,
so I decided to go check out the
movie of my choice, The Break-
fast Club.
Nevertheless, I was wrong
about the droves. After waiting
in line for fifteen minutes, I final-
ly fought my way through the
crowds, got my ticket and pop-
CHIEFTAIN
"Only You Know and I
Know" follows in much the same
vein as "Sussudio ;" however, it is
a much more interesting song due
to the hard edge Collins gives to
it. A funky synthesizer base and
some raw guitar work by Daryl
Stuermer make this one riveting;
a single of this track would be a
very likely bet in the near future.
Collins follows the driving
sound of "Only You Know. . ."
with a much more subdued piece,
"Long Long Way to Go." A slow,
haunting ballad, "Long Long Way
to Go" deals with enduring emo-
tional pain: "While I sit trying to
think of things to say/Someone
lies bleeding in somewhere/So it
would seem that we've got a long,
long way to go/I've seen all I
wanna see today."
Can you "turn it off if you
want to , switch it off or look
away?" Collins asks. The ques-
tion, and this song, are particular-
ly effective and provocative.
A return to the driving sound
marks "I Don't Want to Know."
This song doesn't have a lot to of-
fer in the way of lyrics, although
Collins' ever-masterful control of
pace and melody makes this fun
to listen to. Still, you're not miss-
ing much if you cue over it.
The same is not true of the al-
bum's first single, "One More
Night." This track ends side one
on a subtle and melodious note;
Collins is at his best in this quiet,
romantic piece, It must be heard.
Side two opens with an un-
usual piece, "Don't Lose My
Number." An odd blend of riff-
ing guitar, Collins' angry, power-
ful drumwork, and synthesizer al-
most reminiscent of the Police's
"Wrapped Around Your Finger,"
this song achieves a strong and
decidedly up-tempo feel.
The end, much like Collins'
"Mama" on Genesis, doesn't quite
live up to the intriguing begin-
corn, and made my way to what
I had been waiting for, the bath-
room.
Upon emerging, I went into
the theatre and chose a seat
which just happened to be behind
a fluffy-haired individual with a
loud, resounding laugh (which
soon became very irritating).
Well, then the show started.
The Breakfast Club is the story
of five kids who have to spend an
G
ning, but the song still succeeds.
It is one of the best "rockers" on
the album.
"Who Said I Would" does not
succeed in the same vein. It has
potential; Steurmer's guitar work
and Collins' drums and vocals
create a very electric foundation,
but the effect is ruined by the an-
noying presence of the Phoenix
Horns. The EWF horn section
works best in the more "disco-
like" sound of "Sussudio," but it
only detracts here.
"Doesn't Anybody Stay To-
gether Anymore" is a solid song
highlighted by some angry Collins
drumming. However, it flits
much between the slow style of
"Long Long Way to GO;' and the
rock style of "Who Said I
Would," and like the latter song,
loses a promising identity in the
process.
After one or two listenings, it
would probably be judicious to
cue over "Inside Out." Although
better than its two predecessors-
it does not get lost in its style-it
sounds too much like them to be
notable.
Instead, it succeeds the most
of the second-side songs in creat-
ing a gripping rock sound; it is
Collins' best blend of soft and
hard. "Take me home/'Cause I
don't remember/Take me home"
are the closing lines, accompanied
by some heavy drumming that co-
producers Collins and Hugh Padg-
ham wisely buried in the mix.

March 1,1985
No Jacket Required is not a
breakthrough album for Collins in
the musical sense; it is, though, an
important stepping stone in his
career. Musically, Collins simply
refines his distinctive, individual
style; he scores some impressive
hits, particularly on the first side.
With the strong sound of the al-
bum, though, Collins is succeed-
ing more and more in strengthen-
ing his musical identity and in-
fluence.
With No Jacket Required and
his other solo projects, Collins is
only expanding his sphere of in-

AMY, from p. 5
The fact that she is beyond help
has caused faculty, friends, and
local IH residents to consider
sending Amy to Careunit and/or
Emerson North Hospital. "1 can't
help it! I chew gum every period
of the day, except of course, in
Connelly's," said Amy. Amy
spends an estimated two dollars
a week to support her habitual
gum chewing.
So if you're looking for An-
gus, depending on the season, she
can be found cracking a field
hockey ball into the net, swishing
a 15-foot jumper, or snagging a
linedrive at short. If, by chance,
this golden-souled athlete cannot
be found on the field of competi-
tion, try looking in Convenient.

consisted of arguments, eating,
dancing, smoking pot, a spill-
your-guts discussion session, and
of course (a necessity t o all R-ra-
ted movies) sexual encounters.
The movie reminded me of the
average attempt at teen age life
portrayal as done by a 30-year-
old. Unfortunately, because of
this, the movie wasn't quite as
good as all the critics raved.
The Breakfast Club was defi-
nitely a humorous movie; it was
just slightly unrealistic that all of
the things that happened in the
movie could actually take place
during an eight-hour detention.
Nevertheless, it hung together
well, and I think that it's a "must-
see."

Sports, gum complete Amy's day
by Laura Schwartz
"I've never eaten a cheese
coney," says Amy Wiatt rather
sheepishly, trying to conceal her
guilty face. How can this person
honestly call herself a Cincinnati-
an? Not only has she never tasted
the subtleness of a cheese coney
from Skyline Chili, but Amy (bet-
ter known as Angus) has never
seen "The Cosby Show" either.
But that's another story.
When thinking of Angus, a few
images come to mind: Esprit,
K-Swiss, her tan Rabbit, Genesis,
and Field Hockey. The latter of
the group is perhaps the most re-
cognizable of Amy.
Besides playing three years on
varsity level, Amy has gained the
attention of many college scouts
and coaches and has recently re-
ceived a renewable Field Hockey
Scholarship to Miami University
for her talents.
The scholarship includes tui-
tion and fees for the field hockey
season. Renewal is based upon
performance on the field. Amy
should receive the renewal all
four years, since she was award-
ed it her freshman year.
Athletics has played a major
part in Amy's high school career.
In addition to success in field
hockey, Amy has been highly re-

Academy fails to interest Ross

Ross Baumes has an English
paper due tomorrow. "I haven't
started it," he explains. "I'll do it
during first period." The preced-
ing is typical of a philosophy that
is uniquely Ross Baumes.
One of the most easily recog-
nized seniors, Ross has mastered
the art of relaxing and has be-
come an expert at living the
"good" life. He is a person who
lists as his priorities in life:
"none."
Ross always manages to dis-
play a sarcastic sense of humor
and a subtle cynicism, which is
not surprising when one considers
the fact that he has been suffering
from the motivational disability
known as "senioritis" since the
middle of his eighth grade year.
"That's all great, but aren't you
going t o ask me any questions?"
interrupts Ross.

Having put many hours of hard
work and dedication into the
sport, Amy has missed out on a
few aspects of a normal teenage
life- mainly "The Cosby Show."
"I can't believe I haven't seen
it yet!" exclaims Amy. I can't be-
lieve it either, considering "Cos-
by" is the hottest show on net-
I was born in Switzerland. Even-

said you were subtly cynical, not
ridiculous. "All right. Actually,
I've lived in Cincinnati all my life.
It's not my fault, though."
When at the Academy, Ross
does his best to make sure that
things don't get too hectic. His
schedule is as follows: Wake up
at 8:05. Sleep through second
period. Wake up during third.
Get bored in fourth period.
Throw food across the lunchroom
without getting caught. Nap dur-

people. Take a note or two dur-

that's the price a great athlete has

feelings toward school rather suc-
cinctly. He calls it "an organized

movie review
Acfing,
by Tracy Megison
Harrison Ford fans take note:
Witness is the movie for you.
This latest masterpiece from Aus-
tralian director Peter Weir deals
with the clash between two most
unlikely cultures-the old Pennsyl-
vania Amish and the modern
world of urban crime and corrupt
cops.
Ford plays John Book, a
street-tough Philadelphia detec-
tive assigned to an unusual homi-
cide case-the only witness to the
crime was a small Amish boy, Sa-
muel Lapp (Lukas Haas). Samuel
and his mother Rachel (Kelly Mc-
Gillis) are bewildered by the vio-
lent world in which they are
' trapped--they cannot leave until
Samuel identifies a suspect.
When Samuel does make a po-
sitive identification of the killer--
a narcotics officer--things begin to
move fast. Book gets shot by the
crooked cops and flees to Amish
country to hide out.
Upon his arrival, the Amish
are concerned because he is an
"English," an outsider (with a gun
at that) who is upsetting their
idyllic world.
They soon begin to accept him
after he proves his skills as a car-
penter at a barn-raising. But, alas,
his now-found happiness is shat-
tered. The "bad guys" have
found out where he is, and he
knows that they are coming after
him-and Samuel.
The climactic confrontation
between the two groups has more
realistic suspense than any horror
movie could ever provide.
Harrison Ford is magnificent
as Book; at last, Ford has been al-
lowed to show the true depth of
his acting ability. As Book, Ford
is realistic and three-dimensional-
he is humorous, tough, sweet, ro-
mantic, concerned, and possessed
of that searing masculinity which
he has come to personify.
Kelly McGillis, a newcomer to
the screen, shows great promise as
an actress. Rachel springs to life
through McGillis not as a plain,
backward bumpkin, but as a
young woman fearing for the safe-
ty of her son and struggling with
her feelings for the "English."
Lukas Haas is adorable as the
wideeyeci Samuel, but he is real.
He does not get bogged down in
the innocence of the boy. In one
scene he debates with his grand-
father about Book's gun: his
grandfather claims that the gun

those who choose to dine in IH's

If Ross' career as a disc jockey
turns out anything like his tenure
as the voice of IH's morning an-
nouncements, he may have to dis-
cover other alternatives for his fu-
ture during his time in college.
Ross plans to attend Florida
Southern in the fall, where he
hopes to spend most of his time
waterskiing and playing soccer.
If college life is as Ross plans,
he should enjoy it as much as he
enjoyed his time in California
during the past summer. For
four weeks, he painted houses in
Malibu, but, he insists, he did
more than merely work.
When he returned to his home-
town, Ross was honored by his
peers by being selected as I;all
Homecoming King. Obviously
deeply touched, Ross called the
recognition "one of the finest
honors I received that night."
Actually, Ross' age, as much
as anything, has made him a pop-
ular senior. He maintains that
"being a 19-ycar-old has its defi-
nite social advantages." In fact,
Ross says that his favorite hobby
is "exercising my rights as a 19-
year-old as given by the state of
Ohio."
At an academy which can oc-
casionally let thc quest for esccl-
lence interfere with the need to
slow itself down, Koss I3aumes
represents a relaxed, hilarious,

administrator featur~
by Kevin Walzer
Mr. Tony Brueneman is some-
thing of a keeper of the "old
order."
He is the self-proclaimed "of-
ficial historian of Madisonville. "
His hobbies run towards such
activities as gardening and bird-
watching.
He possesses a very outspoken
perspective on the issues sur-
rounding adolescents today "that
force them to grow up too fast."
And above all, in a profession
where there is so much burnout
and frustration, he retains an op-
timistic and dedicated, if not al-
ways cheery disposition.
Brueneman maintains dual ad-
ministrative roles in the high
school and Ottawa; the addition
of the high school to his job de-
scription came two years ago
when assistant principal Mrs.
Sharon Smith began doing doctor-
ate work in education, thus re-
ducing the time she could devote
to a full-time administrative posi-
tion.
' Smith and Brueneman are far
less visible, and "that is by de-
sign, too." When asked exactly
what his high school position en-
tails, Bruenernan laughed when
told the reawn for the question:
few people know just exactly
what he does.
He didn't appear upset at that
knowledge, though. "My chief
roles in the high school are acting
as social studies administrative
coordinator, and observation
of teachers in the classroom. Mrs.
Smith is in charge of curriculum.
That makes neither of us very
visible."
Brueneman has had a variety
of jobs that required him to be
"visible," as he has taught and
served as administrator at various
academic institutions in the area.
After entering the Marine
Corps in 1960 after dropping out
of UC-"I was an architecture ma-
jor, and I got tired of spilling ink
on my pants3'-he enrolled at Xav-
ier University as an education ma-
jor.
Following his education, Brue-
neman taught at a parochial ele-
mentary school and at Purcell
High School, as well as in the Cin-
cinnati Schools. He returned to
Xavier in 1969 as a teacher and
administrator.
"After a few years there," he
recalled, "I realized that you can't
make a living as a college teacher/

''The pressures that are on

college kids when I worked at
XU," he commented. "I hear it
all. Kids come in, they tell me
they're pregnant, they've run
away from home, their parents
don't care about them. Some-
times they tell me things I really
don't want to listen to. . . but I
do. It's kind of sad."
That sobering perspective has
given Brueneman a very definite
impression of the philosophies of
a middle school and a high school.

Why?
"In middle school you're
dealing essentially with. . . well,
children. Middle school's a bridge
from elementary school to high
school; it's not high school. The
kids aren't very mature, and we
want to give them the freedom to
stay 'immature kids.'
'When I came here," he ad-
ded, "Ottawa was a junior high, a
smaller version of the high school.

had a 'date' dance at the end of
the year. I don't think that's

they are. There's no need for that
in a middle schooi."
As Brueneman views middle
school as a place essentially lack-
ing in student sophistication, both
in problems-"they're individual:
family, school, etc."-and maturi-
ty, he also feels that the high
school is quite the opposite.
"The problems in hgh school
are much more complex, because
you're dealing with young adults
beginning to make decisions
about themselves, their lives; the
kids in the middle school don't
worty about those things."
Thus, in Ottawa, Brueneman
prefers to be visible and well-
known, as his role of disciplinari-
an requires. In the high school,
though, he prefers to maintain a
low profile.
"I think I do everybody the
most service just by being behind
the scenes and knowing a lot of
students one-on-one. Most high
school students have memories of
me as 'that guy in the middle
school when I was a kid;' they're
maturing and naturally won't see
me the way they did in Ottawa. I
don't see them the same way,
either."
Brueneman got up and indi-
cated his bulletin board. Tacked
up were the portraits of various
students whom he has known in
his years here.
This affection Brueneman has
for his former "criminals" from
Ottawa reveals perhaps best the
essence of his personality. He ap-
preciates the simple things.
Need some proof? He loves
kids; he also maintains a "deep re-
spect for the teachers here. They
are so talented." Gardening, bird-
watching, keeping up to date with
the history of Madisonville, and
raising his four children also take
up much of the time of the life-
long Cincinnati resident.
Brueneman professes to be
"the only Republican in a faculty
full of Democrats." Of course,
his eyes were twinkling, and a
broad smile crossed his lips when
he said that. The smile reveals his
happiness to be here at Indial.
Hill, which he refers to as "an ex-
cellent school district, in all seri-
ousness."
In all seriousness. Does the
nebulous keeper of the old order
have any further comments?
''Yeah-- . . Chieftain is a left-
wing, radical newspaper. Just kid-
ding." A hearty laugh and a
smile.

"In middle school you're
dealing essentially with. . . well,

from elementary school to high

kids aren't very mature, and we
want to give them the freedom to
stay 'immature kids.'

right for this level. There's too
much pressure on kids to grow up

they are. There's no need for that
in a middle schooi."
As Brueneman views middle
school as a place essentially lack-
ing in student sophistication, both
in problems-"they're individual:
family, school, etc."-and maturi-
ty, he also feels that the high
school is quite the opposite.
"The problems in hgh school
are much more complex, because
you're dealing with young adults
beginning to make decisions
about themselves, their lives; the
kids in the middle school don't
worty about those things."
Thus, in Ottawa, Brueneman
prefers to be visible and well-
known, as his role of disciplinari-
an requires. In the high school,
though, he prefers to maintain a
low profile.
"I think I do everybody the
most service just by being behind
the scenes and knowing a lot of
students one-on-one. Most high
school students have memories of
me as 'that guy in the middle
school when I was a kid;' they're
maturing and naturally won't see
me the way they did in Ottawa. I
don't see them the same way,
either."
Brueneman got up and indi-
cated his bulletin board. Tacked
up were the portraits of various
students whom he has known in
his years here.
This affection Brueneman has
for his former "criminals" from
Ottawa reveals perhaps best the
essence of his personality. He ap-
preciates the simple things.
Need some proof? He loves
kids; he also maintains a "deep re-
spect for the teachers here. They
are so talented." Gardening, bird-
watching, keeping up to date with
the history of Madisonville, and
raising his four children also take
up much of the time of the life-
long Cincinnati resident.
Brueneman professes to be
"the only Republican in a faculty
full of Democrats." Of course,
his eyes were twinkling, and a
broad smile crossed his lips when
he said that. The smile reveals his
happiness to be here at Indial.

In all seriousness. Does the
nebulous keeper of the old order

wing, radical newspaper. Just kid-
ding." A hearty laugh and a

disc review - -
Collins develops style apart from
by Kevin Walzer
At this point, could it be said
that Phil Collins stands at a cross-
roads? The driving force behind
Genesis appears to be nearing one,
if he is not already there.
Collins has spent the last four
years working essentially on a so-
lo career, producing only one
Genesis album after 1981's Aba-
cab, 1983's Genesis. In that time
span, he has released three solo
albums.
The question as to where Col-
lins stands right now is brought
about by the fact that stock in his
individual career has skyrocketed
in the last ten months. Collins'
work on the Against All Odds
film soundtrack garnered an
Academy Award nomination for
Best Song ("Take a Look at Me
Now"), and his contributions to
Philip Bailey's Chinese Wall-he
served as producer and co-vocal-
ist-produced a critically ac-
claimed album and a top ten sin-
gle, "Easy Lover."
Then there is Collins' third
individual album, No Jacket Re-
quired. Judging by the scarcity of
the record in local stores, it isn't
hard to believe that it will main-
tain and even augment Collins'
current sought-after status.
But even without Collins'
other projects, No Jacket Re-
quired is excellent in its own
right. Although not a radical
change from the typical Collins
sound, it is slick, well-produced,
and a pleasure to listen to.
Side one opens with a trade-
mark Collins effort: "Sussudio."
Greeting the ears is the familiar
Collins rhythm, a heavy drumbeat
complemented by driving key-
boards and the Phoenix Horns of
Earth, Wind, and Fire. Such a
sound is to be found throughout
Jacket, balanced out nicely with
slower and at times thought-
provoking ballads.
movie review
Motley crew experiences unreaIistic 'Breakfast' DT
by Elizabeth Converse
It was a Thursday night, and I
highly doubted that there would
be droves of people at the movies,
so I decided to go check out the
movie of my choice, The Break-
fast Club.
Nevertheless, I was wrong
about the droves. After waiting
in line for fifteen minutes, I final-
ly fought my way through the
crowds, got my ticket and pop-
CHIEFTAIN
"Only You Know and I
Know" follows in much the same
vein as "Sussudio ;" however, it is
a much more interesting song due
to the hard edge Collins gives to
it. A funky synthesizer base and
some raw guitar work by Daryl
Stuermer make this one riveting;
a single of this track would be a
very likely bet in the near future.
Collins follows the driving
sound of "Only You Know. . ."
with a much more subdued piece,
"Long Long Way to Go." A slow,
haunting ballad, "Long Long Way
to Go" deals with enduring emo-
tional pain: "While I sit trying to
think of things to say/Someone
lies bleeding in somewhere/So it
would seem that we've got a long,
long way to go/I've seen all I
wanna see today."
Can you "turn it off if you
want to , switch it off or look
away?" Collins asks. The ques-
tion, and this song, are particular-
ly effective and provocative.
A return to the driving sound
marks "I Don't Want to Know."
This song doesn't have a lot to of-
fer in the way of lyrics, although
Collins' ever-masterful control of
pace and melody makes this fun
to listen to. Still, you're not miss-
ing much if you cue over it.
The same is not true of the al-
bum's first single, "One More
Night." This track ends side one
on a subtle and melodious note;
Collins is at his best in this quiet,
romantic piece, It must be heard.
Side two opens with an un-
usual piece, "Don't Lose My
Number." An odd blend of riff-
ing guitar, Collins' angry, power-
ful drumwork, and synthesizer al-
most reminiscent of the Police's
"Wrapped Around Your Finger,"
this song achieves a strong and
decidedly up-tempo feel.
The end, much like Collins'
"Mama" on Genesis, doesn't quite
live up to the intriguing begin-
corn, and made my way to what
I had been waiting for, the bath-
room.
Upon emerging, I went into
the theatre and chose a seat
which just happened to be behind
a fluffy-haired individual with a
loud, resounding laugh (which
soon became very irritating).
Well, then the show started.
The Breakfast Club is the story
of five kids who have to spend an
G
ning, but the song still succeeds.
It is one of the best "rockers" on
the album.
"Who Said I Would" does not
succeed in the same vein. It has
potential; Steurmer's guitar work
and Collins' drums and vocals
create a very electric foundation,
but the effect is ruined by the an-
noying presence of the Phoenix
Horns. The EWF horn section
works best in the more "disco-
like" sound of "Sussudio," but it
only detracts here.
"Doesn't Anybody Stay To-
gether Anymore" is a solid song
highlighted by some angry Collins
drumming. However, it flits
much between the slow style of
"Long Long Way to GO;' and the
rock style of "Who Said I
Would," and like the latter song,
loses a promising identity in the
process.
After one or two listenings, it
would probably be judicious to
cue over "Inside Out." Although
better than its two predecessors-
it does not get lost in its style-it
sounds too much like them to be
notable.
Instead, it succeeds the most
of the second-side songs in creat-
ing a gripping rock sound; it is
Collins' best blend of soft and
hard. "Take me home/'Cause I
don't remember/Take me home"
are the closing lines, accompanied
by some heavy drumming that co-
producers Collins and Hugh Padg-
ham wisely buried in the mix.

No Jacket Required is not a
breakthrough album for Collins in
the musical sense; it is, though, an
important stepping stone in his
career. Musically, Collins simply
refines his distinctive, individual
style; he scores some impressive
hits, particularly on the first side.
With the strong sound of the al-
bum, though, Collins is succeed-
ing more and more in strengthen-
ing his musical identity and in-
fluence.
With No Jacket Required and
his other solo projects, Collins is
only expanding his sphere of in-
fluence. He is growing ever more
popular and successful in his own
right, and is moving nearer and
nearer to a crossroads that may
take him on a different path than
Genesis.
AMY, from p. 5
The fact that she is beyond help
has caused faculty, friends, and
local IH residents to consider
sending Amy to Careunit and/or
Emerson North Hospital. "1 can't
help it! I chew gum every period
of the day, except of course, in
Connelly's," said Amy. Amy
spends an estimated two dollars
a week to support her habitual
gum chewing.
So if you're looking for An-
gus, depending on the season, she
can be found cracking a field
hockey ball into the net, swishing
a 15-foot jumper, or snagging a
linedrive at short. If, by chance,
this golden-souled athlete cannot
be found on the field of competi-
tion, try looking in Convenient.
She will be buying her gum.
Whatever you do, do not look in

consisted of arguments, eating,
dancing, smoking pot, a spill-
your-guts discussion session, and
of course (a necessity t o all R-ra-
ted movies) sexual encounters.
The movie reminded me of the
average attempt at teen age life
portrayal as done by a 30-year-
old. Unfortunately, because of
this, the movie wasn't quite as
good as all the critics raved.
The Breakfast Club was defi-
nitely a humorous movie; it was
just slightly unrealistic that all of
the things that happened in the
movie could actually take place
during an eight-hour detention.
Nevertheless, it hung together
well, and I think that it's a "must-
see."

Sports, gum complete Amy's day
by Laura Schwartz
"I've never eaten a cheese
coney," says Amy Wiatt rather
sheepishly, trying to conceal her
guilty face. How can this person
honestly call herself a Cincinnati-
an? Not only has she never tasted
the subtleness of a cheese coney
from Skyline Chili, but Amy (bet-
ter known as Angus) has never
seen "The Cosby Show" either.
But that's another story.
When thinking of Angus, a few
images come to mind: Esprit,
K-Swiss, her tan Rabbit, Genesis,
and Field Hockey. The latter of
the group is perhaps the most re-
cognizable of Amy.
Besides playing three years on
varsity level, Amy has gained the
attention of many college scouts
and coaches and has recently re-
ceived a renewable Field Hockey
Scholarship to Miami University
for her talents.
The scholarship includes tui-
tion and fees for the field hockey
season. Renewal is based upon
performance on the field. Amy
should receive the renewal all
four years, since she was award-
ed it her freshman year.
Athletics has played a major
part in Amy's high school career.
In addition to success in field
hockey, Amy has been highly re-

Academy fails to interest Ross

Ross Baumes has an English

ing is typical of a philosophy that
is uniquely Ross Baumes.
One of the most easily recog-
nized seniors, Ross has mastered
the art of relaxing and has be-
come an expert at living the
"good" life. He is a person who
lists as his priorities in life:
"none."
Ross always manages to dis-
play a sarcastic sense of humor
and a subtle cynicism, which is
not surprising when one considers
the fact that he has been suffering
from the motivational disability
known as "senioritis" since the
middle of his eighth grade year.
"That's all great, but aren't you
going t o ask me any questions?"

for the Lady Braves basketball
team, coached by Dick Pfirman.
Having put many hours of hard
work and dedication into the
sport, Amy has missed out on a
few aspects of a normal teenage
life- mainly "The Cosby Show."
"I can't believe I haven't seen
it yet!" exclaims Amy. I can't be-
lieve it either, considering "Cos-

ridiculous. "All right. Actually,
I've lived in Cincinnati all my life.
It's not my fault, though."
When at the Academy, Ross
does his best to make sure that
things don't get too hectic. His
schedule is as follows: Wake up
at 8:05. Sleep through second
period. Wake up during third.
Get bored in fourth period.
Throw food across the lunchroom
without getting caught. Nap dur-
ing fdth. Spend sixth period
walking around and talking to
people. Take a note or two dur-

that's the price a great athlete has
to pay.
Great athlete is right; everyone
knows Amy is a three-sport play-
er. In the spring, she is a short-
stop for the Varsity Softball
team. This spring is no exception,
as Amy will be assured of a start-
sleep. Ross is able to describe his
feelings toward school rather suc-
cinctly. He calls it "an organized
bore," and explains that he would
"rather be grounded than be at
school."

by Kenneth N. Jones
Senior Karen Wiedemer has
been chosen as a Congressional
Seminar representative and will
travel to Washington, D.C., March
13-15.
The trip will entail an in depth
look at the legislative process.
Said Wiedemer, "It's not like the
seventh grade trip. We will meet
a lot more people, not just see
buildings."
Although she will tour the ca-
pital, Wiedemer will also meet
Congressmen such as William Gra-
dison, so as to gain insight into
the human side of lawmaking.
Many "important" people are es-
pected to speak at the seminar.

Wiedemer was s~rrprisedwhen

I have an interest in politics, but
it's not incredibly large," she said.
As a career, Wiedemer is not

The aspect of the trip which

and Elizabeth Gorman as com-

later as commander of the air

Commented Geier on his
award, "I, of course, was very

In the INS, members of the

geopolitical situation. The events
that took place in just three days

SG proposes a ternatives
for Spring exam schedule
Dear Students,
On Wednesday, SG had its
meeting for the month of Februa-
ry -
At the meeting, members
made proposals for an alternative
to last semester's exam schedule.
A poll will be released today zt
lunch for students to fill out
about their opinions on the exam
schedule last semester.
Proposals were also made for
an alternative to seniors taking ex-
ams. Service projects, speakers
and movies, or a combination of
the above were among the ideas.
Instead of seniors going to
school during the three days of
exams, seniors could either de-
vote three Saturdays of their time
to attend service projects, or
spend the last three days at school
doing some type of senior project.
Our ideas must be composed and
submitted to Mrs. Smith by Mon-
day, March 11. Your contribu-
tions and ideas are welcome.
Our March forum is also com-
ing up soon. SG has planned ei-
ther a prolcon debate over abor-

Braves to face Deer Park after
by Kevin Walzer
and Brian Rowe
It was not a particularly pretty
or inspiring sight, the basketball
Braves' opening AA sectional
game against Blanchester Tues-
day, but it got the job done.
By defeating the Wildcats, 65-
62, IH set up a meeting in the sec-
ond round of the tournament
with Deer Park tomorrow night.
The win was also a milestone
of sorts for the Braves; it was the
first sectional game they have
won in five years and their first-
ever victory in the AA tourna-
ment.
However, all hoopla aside, the
greatest thing about the victory
was that it was a win, for in sev-
eral stages of the game, Blanches-
ter capitalized on IH's often-leth-

an upset over the fourth-seeded
Braves.

said coach Dale McKibben. "We
were pretty shabby."

Mental attitude affecting play
SPORTSVI EW
with Kevin Walzer
We are not, at this moment,
seeing a very happy bunch of
Braves.
A long basketball season is
winding down. Most other winter
sports seasons are over. Spring is
approaching. Thoughts of most
athletes are turning towards base-
ball, track, tennis.
It may be only coincidental
that the play of the Braves has
been decidedly less inspired than
it was in December and January.
In December and January IH beat
Loveland and Deer Park by 28
and 44 points, respectively; in
February, they squeaked past
Loveland by three and had to go
into overtime to down Deer Park
by two.
Their tournament game
against Blanchester was little bet-

got the job done.
"It's often hard to get that
fvst win in a tournament game,
particularly if you're not used to
the pressure," he said. "We don't
really have anyone who has tour-
nament experience. In that sense,
it was a good win."
IH jumped out to an 18-15
lead in the first quarter. They
had been up by seven, 18-11,
when they "let Blanchester back
in it-they hit a couple of quick
buckets."
The Wildcats outscored the
Braves 20-18 and 18-17 in the sec-
ond and third quarters to tie at
53 entering the fourth quarter.
"We weren't playing well at all
in that stretch-really, we only
played real well for about three
minutes in the fourth quarter."
Blanchester outscored IH to move
ahead by three, 58-55; IH, how-
ever, ran off ten straight points in
four minutes to go up by seven,
65-58.

ter; it was, to put it lightly, bor-
ing. The Braves trailed Blanches-
ter at several points, coming alive
only in the fourth quarter to go
up by seven before letting their
opponents cut the margin to
three.
Perhaps it is only a coinci-
dence; it has not, however, es-
caped the notice of coach Dale
McKibben.
"We didn't play that well
against Blanchester," commented
McKibben. "We have had some
games where we've had to struggle
to win; that was one of them."
McKibben feels that several
factors appear to have contribut-
ed to the recent decline in the
quality of IH's play. This particu-
lar time of year, the changing of
winter into spring, seems be play-
ing a large role right now.
"I think 'spring fever' is some-
thing that has to affect a team's
mental attitude," he said. "They
[the players] get restless. We try
to find methods to keep their in-
terest up, like changing styles of
practice, varying the playing time
on the floor."
Beyond "spring fever," the
stresses of a long season appear to
have taken their inevitable toll as
well. That, said McKibben, is
both to be expected and under-
'shabby' opener

stood.
"When you realize that we've
been playing since the end of Oc-
tober, you understand that we've
had a long year. Basketball is a
long sport. I would think that
some people may be a bit physic-
ally tired."
With physical tiredness comes
mental tiredness. A lot of pres-
sure and hype have surrounded
the boys' varsity program this
year; "the march for the last EHL
title," "the Abrams scoring
chase," "the road to McNicho-
las."
Given the team's failure to win
the EHL title, which would have
to be considered the most impor-
tant goal of the season, a long and
hard road might appear to have
been travelled for nothing.
"The EHL was a big disap-
pointment, especially the way we
lost it," said McKibben. "We had
so many one- or two-point losses.
If the ball had bounced our way a
couple of times, we might very
well have wound up on top."
Indeed, the Braves' season this
year has been one of close losses.
"We played really well in a couple
of two-point losses. Those are
bound to be disappointing."
Does the disappointment take
a toll? Perhaps. It undoubtedly
March 1, 1985
plays a part in IH's recent lethar-
gy. The mental and physical fac-
tors have combined to erode the
quality of the team's play.
"But being athletes, I would
hope that they would still want to
play," said McKibben. "I would
think that they still have the pride
to compete at their best, and en-
joy the competition."
Does IH's recent play reflect
that attitude? It may be only co-
incidental, but the answer appears
to be "no."
On a less serious note, look for
Rick Abrams to pass Gary Frey-
tag's career scoring mark tomor-
row night. Abrams, with 964 ca-
reer points, needs just 19 against
Deer Park to surpass Freytag's
982.
The Franchise smashed anoth-
er long-standing scoring record
against Blanchester by setting the
new single-season mark for points
scored. Abrams, with 467 points
this season, passed Dan Murphy's
previous mark of 459.
However, Murphy did his in
19 games; Abrams took 21. Thus,
Murphy retains the record for per
game average in a season (24.2).
Abrams' 22.2 average puts him in
fourth place overall in the latter
category.

~ o n a c hnominated for Presidential Scholar
by David Cook
Senior Paul Monach was re-
cently informed of his candidacy
for one of 121 Presidential Scho-
lar positions. Monach is one of
only 1500 highschoolers in the
nation to be offered a chance to
compete for these positions.
Selection of candidates was
based on SAT and/or ACT scores
and on the selfdescriptive data
completed in connection with ei-

participated in the Ohio Music
Educators Association (OMEA)
1985 Solo and Ensemble Contest,
held at Anderson High School last
Saturday. IH students earned 19
ratings of Superior (maximum)
and nine of Excellent.
This festival, universally refer-
red to simply as "contest," is held
each year at a local high school
and is open to all interested in-
strumentalists and vocalists. The
word "contest" is perhaps mis-
leading, as there is no real winner
involved.
Students perform individually
or in small ensembles before a
judge, who then gives them a rat-
ing from I to V, a I being "Super-
ior." The music a student per-
forms is selected from a prepared
list made by the OMEA Director's
Committee. The music is divided
into three categories, A, B, and C,
according to level of difficulty.
Soloists receiving ratings of I
(Superior) were: Jill Anderson,
flute ; Michele Brougher , clarinet ;
Jeff Currier, clarinet ; David Ep-
stein, trombone; Bill Haffner,
trombone; Ellen Hammond, pic-
colo; Andrea Hatfield, flute;
Stephanie Hug, violin; Cyndy Mc-
Clure, flute; Rob Nichols, French
horn; Karen Rhoad, violin; Rob
Seal, trumpet; Scott Seward,
trumpet; and John Sheringer,
trumpet.
Ensembles receiving Superior
ratings were: brass quintet (Gregg
Devanna, Joel Ruff, Haffner, Seal,
and Seward); clarinet trio (Terri
Wayne, Brougher, and Currier);
flute trio (Mary Ballard, Kim Dor-
an, and Currier); and percussion

During their visit, scholars
get to meet not only govern-

this potential honor, stating as his
reason that "in addition to being
an excellent teacher, she has also
been a good friend."

Monach felt "surprised to get

ceive these scholarships each year.
In addition, many colleges and
universities offer four-year scho-

attend there. The most lucrative
awards, however, usually come
from large companies; to qualify
for these scholarships, a finalist

In the past few years, Young Life, an out-of-school
organization, has gained a strong membership from
Indian Hill students. Understandably, the group is
always hoping to increase its membership, so, often,
non-member students are asked to come to a meet-
ing.
The problem with Young Life's recruiting tech-
niques is not that the prospective member is forced to
attend, but simply that he is not told the group's true
intent. In personal experiences, several of the staff
members have been asked to attend meetings, but
when they asked the group's purpose, the question
was side-stepped. Only after thorough questioning
was it discovered that Young Life's purpose is, to
quote its local leader, Brad Johnson, "to communi-
cate the basics of the Christian faith."
Rarely is the group's intent stressed during recruit-
editorial
In preparation for its annual Senior Special at the
end of the school year, Chieftain will have the senior
questionnaires available in the main office early next
week. In recent years, almost every senior has filled
out a questionnaire; we therefore urge each senior to
take and complete one, but just as importantly, to
take seriously the deadline for its return of Friday,
March 22.
Most people have little or no idea of the tremen-
dous effort needed to complete the Senior Special, in-
cluding editing, typesetting, proofreading, and page
setup, not to mention the later production work. In
order to print the issue on time, we must do the far
majority of the work on it between the issues from
late March to the end of the school year. Two years
ago, the Senior Special was printed a week late, in
large part because of the tardiness of many of the
completed questionnaires.
Also, any senior who may object t o having only
two and a half weeks to complete the questionnaire
and senior will is completely off base. Writing a sen-
ior will and answering five questions takes consider-
ably less time than a government paper and is more
fun, yet many seniors manage to finish a paper in a
weekend or even one night.
The obvious solution, then, is t o pick up a ques-
tionnaire early, take your time filling it out, keep the
language clean, and turn it in by March 22. As mem-
bers of an editorial staff that is almost completely
comprised of seniors, we naturally want this Senior
Special to be the best ever. We assume you desire and
expect the same.

JV Braves end season 10-10
by Alissa Raleigh
"We achieved our goal of a 10-
10 record this season," observed
sophomore Ron Jones of the JV
boys' basketball team. The team
ended the year with a 9-5 record
in the EHL, putting them in third
place with Sycamore first and
Mariemont second.
The boys won their final game
of the season over Milford, with a
final score of 37-28. The Braves
got off to a rigorous start and re-
mained indefatiguable throughout
the close competition. Freshman
Jason Kincaid scored in the first
three minutes of the game.
After a free throw from Mil-
ford, in the last seven seconds of
the first quarter sophomore
Bruno Darre rolled the ball to
freshman Mike Eaton, who tossed
ord-setting win/loss ratio, as pre-
viously stated in Chieftain's last
issue, their court presence is like
none other ever seen in any other
freshman team assembled.
"We had a twenty-point turn-
around from the first Sycamore
game," said coach Steve Thomp-
son, whose team lost to Sycamore
5 2 4 2 in a triple-overtime thriller
earlier this year.
Over the season the Braves set
Braves played was against Milford
with a loss, 65-21. Before that
game the girls traveled to Madeira
and lost a r a t h a close game, 47-
34. Junior Chris Hall was the
leading scorer in that game with
a total of nine points, and senior
Amy Wiatt was the leading re-
bounder with six.
Pfirman commented, "The
team started out playing well this
season 19-51; then they went into
a spin and didn't recover." He
also thinks they "could've played
better," but they definitely im-
proved over last season, in which
they finished 9-10.
The leading scorer for the sea-
son was Cucinotta with an average
of 11 points per game. Coach
Pfirman believes Cucinotta and
Hall will play well next year.
However, he feels next season will
depend on the development of

it to junior Bill Baumel, who lob-
bed it into the net-a wellcalcu-
lated and expertly accomplished
execution.
The Eagles were tough,
though, and kept the game close
for much of the time.
On February 13 the Braves
triumphed over Madeira in a rout,
63-32. The game was fast-mov-
ing and IH usually had the lead.
Looking towards next year
there are several strong players
who will carry on with basketball,
such as the two freshman. Eaton
and Kincaid were major contri-
buters to the team this year.
Jones and Darre were chosen

last two games of the year, just

records both for offense-49
points per game-and defense, on-
ly 29.3 points allowed per con-

Mexico Hayden and Richie
Decker led the Braves' scoring av-
erage with ten points per game,
and each contributed nine and
seven rebounds per game, respec-
tively.

yet, though. The Wildcats scored
two baskets to cut the final defi-
cit to three, 6542. "We were
lucky time ran out," said Mc-
Kibben.
McKibben also praised the
play of "three or four people who
compensated for some who were-
n't playing well."
Senior Rick Abrams led the
Braves in scoring with 21 points;
with that performance, he broke
Dan Murphy's single-season scar-
ing record of 459 points, and
moved ever closer to Gary Frey-
tag's record 912 career points.
Senior Pete Seremetis added 17.
Also "playing well" were jun-
iors Mike Cohen and Andy Tuck-
er. Cohen's aggressiveness and
eight points "kept us in the
game" at several points, while
Tucker's 1 2 points "came at im-
portant stages."
Deer Park now awaits IH in
the second round of the tourney.
Although the Braves annihilated
the Wildcats in their first game
this season, they had to to into
overtime to beat them in their
more recent contest. McKibben
feels that is important.
"Deer Park is Deer Park, but
it'll be a tough game. It's hard to
beat a team three times in a sea-
son, which is what we will have
done. I do think we have more
depth and overall talent. But
they71 have to be ready."
After Deer Park is the winner
of Madeira and Wyoming. Then,
if IH beats the winner of that
game, they will be playing in the
sectional semifinals for a trip to
districts. That will likely be
against McNicholas, siad the
Braves' coach.
"They're really not playing

line of victorious seasons.
Although the freshmen only
lost two games this year, their
future was much in doubt at the
beginning of the season: they
seemed to lack the intensity that
is needed to be successful.
"Out improvement came from
the beginning of the season," add-
ed Thompson, who saw his team
lose both of their games in tough
overtime struggles.
Now that the freshman season
is over, much of the talent will be
nurtured and will make much of
the varsity and JV teams over the
next three years. "It was a dream
season," said Thompson. "It only
comes once in a coach's career."

chance to get within 20 or 25
points."
If IH beats McNick. . .
"Districts. Then regionals.
Then state."
Could IH get t o state?
"It's a long shot, obviously.
We'd be facing some tough teams
up at districts. But anything can
happen in the post-season, and if
we get on a roll. . ."
Enough said about that. The
Braves ended their regular season
at 11-9 overall and 8-6 in the
league to finish in third place in
the EHL's final year.
Sycamore managed t o repeat
as league champions with a 12-2
league record, with Milford alone
in second place with a 1 0 4 mark.
In the Braves' final home game
of the year, the Milford Eagles
completed their sweep of IH this
year by winning, 59-52. The
Braves simply could not control
the two-pronged attack of Tom
Geyer and Paul Pfeiffer in this
contest, as they combined for 43
points.
The moves of Abrams kept IH
in the game, as h e led all scorers
with 24 points. Senior Curtis Ott
had a solid floor game and was
the only other Brave in double
figures, with ten points.
The only other consistent per-
former for the Braves recently,
aside from Ott and Abrams, has
been Seremetis. Seremetis erupt-
ed for 18 points and brought
down 12 rebounds in a n exciting
win over Madeira, 71-70, to give
the Braves a 1985 sweep of the
rival Mustangs.
Abrams knocked down nine of
his 16 jumpers and made six free
throws to score 24, and Ott added
ten.

Cincinnati, Ohio 45243
SERB sets election date
by Paul Monach
Representatives of the Board
of Education, the Indian H a
Classroom Teachers Association
(CTA), the Independent Profes-
sional Educators Association
OPEA), and the State Employ-
ment Relations Board (SERB)
set Tuesday, March 26 as the date
for the long-awaited election of
an official representative of the
Indian Hill teachers in collective
bargaining.
The group met in Columbus
on Tuesday, February 19, after
the original meeting, scheduled
for February 13, was cancelled
due to inclement weather; the
committee of representatives sub-
mitted its proposal to the SERB
board on February 25, where fi-
nal approval was given.
Eligible voters will vote on a
secret ballot for either the CTA,
the IPEA, or for no representa-
tion. The actual voting will take
place from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at
the high school and from 3:30 to
4:30 at Wyandot; the votes will
be counted at 5:00 p.m. in the
high school auditorium.
After the election, collective
bargaining, as required under a
state law that went into effect
last April, will begin; SERB will
appoint a mediator for the nego-
tiations. The IH teachers have
been working without a salary
agreement-thus, without a pay
raise-for this school year.
The major issue that had to be
resolved at the February 19 meet-
ing was eligibility for voting in the
election. All sides presented their
views, and the SERB represents-
tives made the final decision.
As a result, the eligible voters
