The Varsity Squaws enter
tournament play as they play
the winner of the Franklin/Forest
Park game Saturday, February 24,
at Middletown.
The Squaws dropped their re-
cord to 9-10 as they were de-
feated by Maderia Tuesday night,
42-33. The Squaws came on
strong in the third quarter, scor-
ing thirteen points to Madeira's
four.
Marred b y fouls, the Squaws
were held back in the fourth
quarter as they fell to Maderia
once again. "'We (seniors) really

Indian Hill now has its own
chapter of Key Club, a youth ser-
vice organization affiliated with
Kiwanis. At the charter meeting
last week, members elected Paul
Smith to the presidency, Law-
rence Gallant as vice-president,
Elizabeth Smith as secretary, and
Richard Stradling as treasurer.
Although the club will work with
Kiwanis in part, the members
have planned no specific activities
as of yet. Treasurer Stradling
commented, "We're still in early
stages of development: looking
for more members."
CHIEFTAIN
The Squaws fell short by one
point to be narrowly defeated by
Wyoming, 4 2 4 1 last Saturday.
High scorer was senior Leslie
Mains with fourteen points.
"We really don't have much
consistancy. One game we will
play great and then the next game
we can't make a shot or do any-
thing," stated senior Mary
Brainard.
The Deer Park game is one of
two prime examples of this. The
Squaws played well together,
scored a lot of points, and played
well defensively. The f i s t quar-
ter, the Squaws d'enied Deer Park
of any points, finally winning the
game, 49-25. ' Brainard was the
high scorer with fourteen points.

movie review
"Gariots of Firen rated PG
Bieftain rating: **W
by Richard Stradling
Although Chariots of Fire is a
true account of the lives of the
members of the 1924 British
Summer Olympic team, it goes far
beyond being just another movie
about an odds-beating athletic
squad.
Its much more. It's a movie of
conflicts, both on the track and
off. between men and between
men's desires and principles.
The plot follows the lives of
two runners on the team. The
first, Harold Abrahams, played by
Ben Cross, is a rather arrogant,
jewish student at Cambridge who
gains respect for his running abil-
ity, but little for his tact. When
asked why he runs, he replies, "I
like to win." When asked what
happens when he loses, he an-
swers emphatically, "I don't."
The other runner, Eric Liddell,
played by Ian Charleson, is the
pride of Scotland and has a future
in missionary work. He is intense-
ly religious, very humorous and
easygoing. His family, mainly his
sister, frown on his running be-
cause it takes away from his
missionary work.
As both runners gain their
own notoriety, the fnst conflict
arises. They run against each
other, and Liddell comes out on

Bob and Doug McKenzie: The
Great White North

As most of you were reading
the title of the above mentioned
record, I bet you asked youself,
"Bob and Doug McKenzie? Who
in the heck are they?" No, they
are not the Canadian answer to
Donny and Marie Osmond, but
rather characters invented by
Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas
for one of the brightest new
shows on television this year,
SCTV (Second City Television)
Network 90.
Bob and Doug are two Cana-
dian brothers who have their own
weekly show, "The Great White
North." Each week they delve in-
to such interesting topics as back

Eventually, they become team-

Cambridge hierarchy. Conflict
number three.
Finally on their way to the
games at Paris, Liddell learns his
bottles.
When SCTV became success-
ful, so did Bob and Doug. So
what better way to capitalize on
their success than to make and
sell albums featuring the Canadian
brothers, right? Wrong! It's easy
enough to be funny for a five
minute period once a week, but
when they try to fill the entire al-
bum with their humor, it gets to
be a little tedious. If you were to
count how many times they say
"G'Day, eh" or "Take off you
Hoser," you come up with an
astronomical number. But then
again, those are their trademarks.
Maybe I'd better shut up before I
hang myself.
The highlight of the first side
is the seventh cut "Take Off,"
Bob and Doug's attempt at a hit
single. They pull this off with the
help of Geddy Lee of Rush, and a

He remembers telling a young
man "that the Sabbath was hardly
a time for football" and saying to
..
his sister, "God made me fast. I
run for God." Even the Prince of
Wales comes in to try and resolve
this conflict. At the games,
Abraharns again has to deal with
losing, but finds dealing with
winning can be just as difficult.
Conflict five is the games them-
selves, where the British find
themselves underdogs to a power-
group of back up singers, who at
every chance, come in with the
Great White North Theme, which
for you people who don't know
it, goes something like this: Coo

by any chance you don't under-
stand what is going on, get some-
one who is familar with the show
to sing it to you. "Take Off'
comes at an appropriate time in
the album. Just about the time
you begin to get bored with their
constant rambling, they throw
this in to get your attention.
The second side moves at little
bit faster. The second cut,
"Doug's Mouth" treats us to some
really funny impressions by Dave
Thomas. He does everything
from Darth Vader to the Love
Boat. Also on this side is a hilar-

three times with the focus being

Another striking aspect about
the movie is the detail, both his-

as Abraharns and his trainer sit
talking across a table, in front of
them sits two glasses of dark beer.
If one looks carefully, one can see
a potato floating in one of the

They could easily b e missed.

like this: "On the first day of

and on, that is until they reach
the eighth day, then they can't
think of anything else to say.
Rick Moranis and Dave
Thomas are two extremely
talented impressionists, as anyone
who has seen SCTV can tell you.
They along with the other mem-
bers of the group write their own
material, and more often than
not, do a lot of improvisation.
That's what they have done, or at
least appear to have done with
this record.
Although the record is often
excellent, sometimes the mono-
logues get a little repetitive and
tiresome. If I had anything to do
with the record I would have
made it a "Best of SCTV" and
not only "The Great White
North." But since I didn't, I'll
just have to take what I can get.

CHIEFTAIN
by John Christine
Since Ronald Reagan's inaugu-
ration last January, more than
half of the two hundred Indian
Hill students polled (25% of each
class was polled) say that they
have changed their opinion of his
administration. While some stu-
dents are satisfied with the new
economic programs, many are
disappointed with the cuts in so-
cial services.
Short-comings of economic
promises and the problems within
the President's cabinet have
changed most IHers' views.
Others, however, approved of
Reagan's actions like the firing of
the Professional Air Traffic Con-
trollers Organization (PATCO)
workers and the decrease in gov-
ernment spend&.
Mr. Roberts, Ohio Represen-
tative Bill Gradison's head of leg-
islation assitant, says that Gradi-
son supports the President on the
whole. Gradison, who has a doc-
torate in economics, is satisfied
with Reaganomics.
However, dradison does dis-
agree with some of the adminis-
tration's decisions and policies.
letter from SG
HOT LEGS contest highlights
Student Government calendlar
Dear Fellow Students,
At the Student Government
meeting last week our committees
reported on their recent and up-
coming projects.
The activity committee is bus-
ily working on the next activity
period, March fourth. They have
compiled a list of suggested activ-
ities from the surveys taken and
are trying to bring in as many of
those ideas as possible. Rob
Ottenjohn, forum committe
chairman, reported that the for-
um is today and will be presented
by Pepsi and WKRQ in the audi-
torium.
Our service committee has
especially big plans for the future.
The computer dating sheets have
been sent back to the company
for processing. The lists should
be back in four to six weeks and
will be sold for $1.50. The pro-
ceeds will be donated to the Heart
Fund. Furthermore, plans for our
March Muscular Dystrophy pro-
ject are well underway. The pro-
ject this year will be a HOT LEGS
contest. Eight to ten photographs
of various peoples' legs will b e
posted in the cafeteria the week

For example, Roberts says that
underthecmentp1lnsforrod.l
security, funds in the future will
not exist. In other words, Gradi-
son feels that the program is too
expensive for the country's bud-
get.
Gradison is also concerned
about, as Roberts puts it "the size
of the defense budget, especially
when compared to the trillion
dollar deficit." The representa-
tive feels that defense spending
should not be excluded from the
rest of the budget cuts.
On the other hand, Gradison is
"most happy about the consensus
formed for the President," Rob-
erts said. The majority of sup-
port in Congress is substantial
when compared to former Presi-
dent Jimmy Carter's, who, Rob-
erts noted, "couldn't hold his
own party."
When asked whether or not
the administration can improve,
Roberts remarked, "We're not
really concerned about the admin-
istration. Instead, we're con-
cerned about the American peo-
ple." He did worry, however,
that the Reagan economic policies
would not be given enough time
t o take effect and noted the
importance of the "patience of
the people."
of March 15-19. A canister will
be placed in front of each photo
for people to put money into to
vote on the best pair of legs.
Each cent will counted as one
vote, and whoever has the mast
votes at the end of the week will
possess Indian Hill's "Hottest
Legs."
Last fall,after the Big Brother
and Big Sister picnic at Lake Isa-
bella, many students said they'd
like to have another Big Brother1
Sister project. So, we've planned
a trip to a Cincinnati Reds game
this April. The game will be Fri-
day, April 30 against the St. Louis
Cardinals at 7 :35 p.m. The group
rate is $2.50 per ticket instead of
the regualar $5.00 if we order ear-
ly. Within the next few weeks,
your homeroom representative
will pass out order forms for the
tickets.
Don't forget to come into the
peer counseling room of the SSC
next Thursday to talk to a SG
representative. Have a fun week-
end and Happy Valentine's Day!

BERGMAN, from p. 4
violence, but that does not make
hand guns potentially less danger-
ous. If anybody really intends to
use a hand gun in pursuit of
innocent sport, he should be satis-
fied to pursue activities in law-
fully designated clubs and re-
serves, under carefully controlled
conditions, designed to protect
himself as well the general public.
Of course, this could create a has-
sle for those caring and compas-
sionate individuals who have
never caused any trouble, but
hassle is a moderate price to pay
for the better welfare of society.
Finally, the great "it won't
work" cop out simply does not
stand up. We will never know
whether the legislation will work
until we try it. In the meantime,
there is no evidence to suggest
that legislation would increase the
number of violent deaths per
year. If only a handful of people
are saved, gun control legislation
will be worth any inconvenience
it may cause.
Even if you believe that mur-
derers will persist despite hand
gun control legislation, certainly
their path to success should be
crowded with as many obstacles
as society can invent.
Students receive
art commendations
Ten Indian Hill student artists
received commendations from the
Scholastic Art Awards Program
yesterday, and fourteen works of
their artwork will be displayed in
the 1982 Scholastic Art Awards
exhibit.
The art works, including pen
and ink drawings, sculptures,
batik, weaving, paintings, and de-
signs, will hang on display at
Shillito's Exhibit Gallery, on the
sixth floor of the downtown store
from February 13 to February

son turned in IH's best perfor-
mance in the competition, each
winning a "blue ribbon" finalist
award and an honorable mention.
The "blue ribbon" works will be
further judged for national
awards.
Michelle Englert and Eric Love

Lisa Goldsmith is an achiever.
One area in which she seems to
excel the most - . is
-- sports.
- Lisa a
good athlete, and sports are very
important to her. "Sports are
probably the biggest part of my
life right now."
This is obvious by Lisa's great
involvement in school teams.
She has played on the soccer team
for four year and has been voted a
League All-Star all four years.
Lisa has also been honored as a
member of the Ohio South team.
This past season, she was voted
most valuable player. Lisa is a
very talented soccer player; soccer
is her favorite sport, and she plans
to play in college.
Shortly after the soccer sea-
son, Lisa begins her basketball
season. As a freshman, Lisa was
captain of the JV team and she
has been a member of the Varsity
team ever since.
Although Lisa is still busy
with basketball, teammates began
softball training this Monday.
Lisa has been a key player on the
softball team since her freshman
year. Last year, Lisa's talent was
recognized as she was voted
League All-Star for her play as
shortstop. Lisa is looking forward
to the softball season; "I'm ex-
kited. We're ready to be EHL
champs again!''
While Lisa plays three sports,
she is also involved in other
school activities. One of Lisa's
favorite activities is Legend. With
Lisa's vast involvement in sports,
it seems fitting that she was a
girls' sports editor last year. As a

senior sketch
John realizes. the need to relate
by Pete Graham
As I was asking John Kennelly
a few questions in regard to this
sketch, several passing teachers
and students stopped to add a few
remarks when they realized that
he was being interviewed. These
encounters showed the fine rela-
tionship that John has with so
many fellow students and faculty
members.
These relationships are a result
of his successful attempts to ven-
ture out from steady friends and
to get in contact with other
groups of people. "There are so
many small groups to which stu-
dents tend to restrict themselves,
but I try to make it a point to
meet as many people in school as
possible." Getting to know new
people each year is a major con-
cern of John's.

every citizen to take the matter of

Incidentally, it is worth point-

One primary preparation that
this school is supposed to instill in
its school is social ease. In other
words, we should learn from high
school how to deal with people.
Let's face it, the vast majority of
the things that we learn will be
forgotten. Even now, my fresh-
man year is only a distant mem-
ory. The formulas and such have
been forgotten. However, this
school has rules that seem to de-
ter social activity. For example,
there is a new study hall rule that,

not seem to best prepare us for '

Being an experienced musician

music would be a rewarding voca-

Mr. Snider has decided to resign.

When asked if "senioritis" has

"ecause I'm a little worried of
the work that is ahead in college."
As to where John will attend

played drums in the marching
band, played in a rock group, and
is presently in the concert band.
Turning away form his heavy
metal tastes of several years ago,
John has grown to appreciate the
sound of soul music, as well as
some new wave. The Police, The
Romantics, Micheal Jackson, and
Earth, Wind, and Fire are some of
his favorite artists.
As his senior year rolls to fin-
ish, John is looking forward to go-

with a few friends and is planning
to spend some time at his family's
cottage in the mountains of New

Purcell feels expulsion-threat curbs drug usage
Purcell: I personally don't see
anything wrong with drinking.
If someone can handle drink-
ing - great. I think 99.9% of
the teenagers don't know how
to handle drinking, and I see it
every weekend. You get
bombed, you puke, you get
sick, and you're staggering
around. I don't consider that
fun. I don't think the person
does either when he's doing it,
even though he didn't think
about it before. You can't
keep anybody from being an
alcoholic or a druggie. You
can't just say, 'This kid was
brought up exactly by this
manual, so he will never be-
come a druggie. If you don't
have a handle on your drink-
ing, it can become progressive.
Being a druggie is a progressive
disease. I used to not drink at
all for a while - I used to get
high. I used to smoke one
joint, then it became two,
then ten, then twenty. Even-
tually it was just like, 'Smoke
a bag.' If you can handle
drinking with your friends -
fine. But a lot of kids get in
trouble and get in car wrecks.
So, yes, there is potential for a
weekend drinker to become a
druggie. You can't exempt
anybody from having a drug
problem.

CHIEFTAIN
Schmalz: Do you feel that drugs
are less widespread at IH when
you were here than prior to
going to Straight?
Purcell: My freshman year was
totally drug city. I got high
every day, between every
period. There were pills,
cocaine, and everything out in
the smoking lounge. Now,
I've seen drugs in school go
totally down. I've seen peo-
ple come in drunk, though.
I'm sure there's still somebody
who goes out for lunch and
gets high. I think it has just
gotten away from school. The
drinking is still going on a lot.
I'm not in the position to see a
lot of dope-smoking, but I'm
sure it's still going on. I'm not
sure to what extent, though.
I'm a lot more aware than peo-
ple think - I went through it
for so long. I'l see people
talking about getting a bag of

at school like they used to.
Kids used to carry knapsacks
of dope into the smoking
lounge. But now it's out of
school because the threat of
being expelled is too great.
Schmalz: Do you think that will
help in possibly cutting down
in drug usage in general?
Purcell: I think it makes the drug
user think more. Because

basically an irresponsible per-
son who has a drinking prob-
lem or a drug problem doesn't
think before he acts. He's not
thinking of the consequences.
The threat of expulsion makes
him think.
Schmalz: Do you feel that there
are as many kids getting high
in the lounge or anywhere in
school as there were when you
were a freshman?
Purcell: Definitely not. When I
was a freshman, there used to
be a hundred people in the
lounge - it was packed. Now
there are at a maximum ten
people out in the lounge at a
time. I'm sure they might
get out a joint or a pipe, but
there's pretty strict super-
vision. We used to get high
when Rangers were at the
door of the lounge. It's
incredible how much of a
difference four years has
made. The lounge was every-
thing back then. It would be
packed -
you couldn't even
breathe. There were as many
people as you could fit out
there, and they'd all be getting
high. But MI. Aug or no one
else could do anything about
it, really. Now it's a total
change.

Track teams aim
for metric records
For the past couple of weeks,
the boys' and girls' metric track
records have been on display out-
side of Miss Wehmann's office.
Chances are, most of these
records are temporary.
The IH track was resurfaced
this past summer and in the pro- 1
cess was religned with metric
distances. Consequently, the track/
teams will have many more 1
opportunities t o break the metric
records.
"With the exception of a few,
there is an excellent chance many
of these records wilt be broken,"
commented boys' coach Bob
West. "Most were set by last
year's sophomores, partially
running on metric tracks. Many
will be broken by those who hold

Eight senior s
by Jay Schloss
Eight Indian Hill seniors be-
came National Merit Finalists this
week for outstanding academic
achievement.
The honored students are
Andrew Bahnfleth, Lisa Bollinger,
Peter Hug, Diane McDonald,
Michele Radin, John Ries, Jay
Schloss, and Jeff Wesselkamper.
The National Merit Scholar-
ship Corporation (NMSC) annu-
ally selects roughly 15,000 seniors
on the basis of their PSAT scores
to become NM Semi-Finalists.
These seniors then send NMSC
their test scores, a high school
transcript, a personal statement,
and a school recommendation.
National Merit Finalists are
chosen on the basis of these
criteria. Generally, ninety per-
cent of NM Semi-Finalists become
Finalists. Thirty percent of the
Finalists then receive monetary
scholarships funded by NMSC or
private coporations.
In years past, Indian Hill has
' had considerable success in the
NM competition. Over the last
five years an average of one in
every fourteen seniors has been
recognized by NMSC. This per-
formance consistantly ranks IH in
the top ten schools in Ohio for

IH educators begin North Central Evaluation
by Nancy Hopple
The Indian Hill High School
staff meets today to conduct a
self-study which is part of the re-
quired North Central Evaluation.
The North Central Evaluation,
involving two phases, is the
process by which the school is
accredited.
The first phase of the North
Central Evaluation, which is being
conducted this year, is a self-
evaluation of the operations and
programs within the high school.
The total staff conducts an inten-
sive self-study through the find-
ings of nine Comprehensive
Committees and fourteen Educa-
tional Program Committees. The

Comprehensive Committees ex-
plore broad areas involving man?
people and affecting the entire
student body. Each Comprehen-
sive Committee is made up of sev-
eral staff members and at least
one parent and one student.
The two main Comprehensive
Committees, whose work must b e
completed first, are on School
and Community and on Philo-
sophy and Objectives. The Edu-
cational Program Committees deal
with specific subject areas within
the high school. For each educa-
tional department in the high
school an Education Program
Committee exists. These com-
mittees are made up of the
vard with the hopes of studying
history at either institution before
entering medical school.
Diane McDonald plans to
attend Duke University where she
will study biology. ~ k h e l eRadin
is considering University of
Colorado and Colgate University
with a potential pre-med major.
Lisa Bollinger will have t o
choose between the University of
Pennsylvania and Ohio State for
studying international business.
John Ries will be Boston-bound
next year as he prepares to receive
his higher education at Harvard
University, although he has not
yet decided on a major.
Jay Schloss awaits word from
Northwestern Medical School o n
whether he will be admitted t o

Education. Jeff Wesselkamper
hopes to attend Brown Univer-
sity, majoring in pre-med.
For the first time in five years,
not all of IH's NM Semi-Finalists
became Finalists. Because he sent
his SAT scores late for NMSC,
Rod Barr was denied the oppor-
tunity to compete for scholarship
dollars. Barr jokingly commented,
"The petty insignificance of
bureaucratic restric-
tions barred me this
commendation."

teachers
The second phase of the North
Central Evaluation, which takes
place next year, is the verification
of the high school's selfevalu-
ation by a visiting team of profes-
sionals from various educational
programs, such as colleges, the
state department, and other
school systems. The intent of the
visiting team of eduacators is t o
validate the high school's self-
study and to suggest any changes
which might improve the educa-
tional program. This validation
by the visiting team is necessary
in order for the high school t o
renew its accreditation.
