Braves working to avenge previous sour season
by Mike Petraglia
Coach Jim Benken is looking
forward to seeing how the varsity
baseball Braves will fare this year
with good reason. His team is
looking to better last year's dis-
mal 5-15 mark.
One of the factors that
plagued the Braves last year was
the rain that seemed to follow the
team wherqver it went. Partly be-
cause of the weather, the Braves
were never really able to pull it all
together. Another factor was the
number of untimely and costly
errors that the team committed,
which played a role in the final
outcome four to five times during
the year.
Out of all this, though, came
the good fortune of having many
juniors who have now gained var-
sity experience and now are back
as seniors. John Nichols, Bill
Carroll and Doug Ulrner, who

The JV Braves' opening game
will be played March 26 at home
against Finneytown, Coach
Dennis Dowling is still unsure of
his starting lineup. He explains,
"This is due to the fact that it has
rained so much that the team has
been unable to practice outside,
and I have been unable to prop-
perly evaluate all their talents. Of
course, all the other teams in the
city are having the same problem
so we are not behind in prepara-
tion compared to everyone else."
Last year the Braves finished
at 4-10, with seven of those losses
b y three runs or less. "Our prob-
lem last year was a lack of hit-
ting," stated Coach Dowling, "but
our defense was very good, and
our pitching was average."
This year Dowling thinks he
has a better hitting club, although
he has to see his team hit outside
first before describing the players'
potential. The defense is expected
to be just as good as last year.

players who are expected to help
the team.
Dave Davis, who got the pitch-
ing win in the Braves' only tourn-
arnent win last year, and Dave
Hancher. who returns after a vear
following shoulder surgery,
should provide depth as pitchers.
Last year's JV squad has
offered an abundance of talent
this year's competition for start-
ing jobs and backup roles.
The Braves are not batting a
typical varsity problem this year -
making up for graduated seniors.
Only Paul Brown, John Brophy,
Kevin Egan and Brad Scharfen-
berger were seniors from last
year's varsity.
Benken's squad kicks off the
season one week from today

base. The two were named as last
year's Most Improved Piayers.
Jim Atkinson could start as the
Braves' second baseman if he is
able to avoid injuries. Atkinson
missed several games last season
when he injured a finger before a
game with Seven Hills. Behind the
plate the Braves have good
defense in their two freshmen
catchers, Steve Flannery and Bill
Croskey.
The outfield is one of the big
question marks the team- Nine
people are still in contention for
the outfield positions. One likely
prospect is Kurt Froehlich, who
saw some action with the JV
Braves last year. Coach Dowling's
major concern is his pitching
staff. All of his starters from last
year have gone to the varsity
team, and now the pitching staff
has little depth.
Overall, the team has yet to
take its full form, but Dowling
sees his team as "building for the
varsity by developing the players'
skills. The varsity benefits from
this training and it has a good
team this year." Coach Dowling's
goal for his players is quite
simply, to "have fun and improve
the team's baseball skills."

IH Industrial Arts Club wins State
by Ron Zesch and Chris Wiech
The Indian Hill Industrial Arts
Club secured a first place rank
with their efforts in this year's
Ohio AIASA (American Industrial
Arts Student Association) Compe-
tition.
Last Thursday and Friday,
twenty-two of the club's members
traveled t o Columbus, where they
took the state title by beating Mt.
Giliad, a fourteen-time winner,
and twenty-five other Ohio based
teams.
While attending the confer-
ence, state officers were elected
to positions for the 82-83 school
year. Chris Wiech was elected
Vice-President for Ohio-AIASA.
Also elected was Steve Dubell for
the Southwest District Vice-
President in a land slide decision.
The competition included
nineteen different events in which

fields which were being judged
included events such as Drafting,
General Knowledge, Public Speak-
ing, Safety Posters, Parliamentary
Procedure and others.
The second part of the compe-
tition was a display of Industrial
Atts projects ranging from draft-
ing to electronics. In this event,
twenty "merit" ribbons were
awarded to various members of
Indian HWs team.
The trip fees were all paid for
out of funds earned previously
through the club's work. Last
year, for example, the club made
and sold numerous picnic tables
and they plan to repeat this
money-making project again this
year. Other sources of funds are a
set of house plans which club
members engineered, '82 Pow-
Wow shirts, and the pennants sold
during last year's basketball
season.

hundredths of a point, coasted t o
the victory this year by twenty
points. Gruber's closest competi-
tor was Kurt Bubnis of St. Xavier

ently applying again this year.
This award is presented ot the top
twenty divers in the nation. "I

Indian Hill's "It's Academic"
team defeated Deer Park High
School and Scott High School of
Kentucky 575 to 370 to 190 re-
spectively at the WCET Studio,
Saturday, February 13.
Mrs. Elizabeth Ackley accom-
panied the team at the match in

Softball Squaws aiming to match
by Kurt Dusterberg
Girls varsity softball coach
Robert Wessinger has a great deal
of two things going into the
Squaws' season: 1. talent, 2. en-
thusiasm.
The varsity Squaws have ten
of sixteen players returning from
last year's squad, so Indian Hill
stands a fair chance to equal last
season's 17-3 record. The team
has tremendous balance with six
seniors, two juniors, five sopho-
mores and three freshmen. So
what weaknesses could the
Squaws possibly have?
"We don't have any weak-
nesses," Wessinger laughed. "We
work two hours a day, seven days
a week. Right now, we're stress-
ing hitting because, early in the
year it is the hardest skill to de-
velop."
Wessinger has reduced his po-
tential players into his final team.
The competition, Wessinger feels,
will keep the players on their
toes.

a conditioning period to get the
team in shape for more strenuous

In fact, the relays, particularly
the 1600 meter relay, have been
under special consideration. The
1600 meter relay has been weak
in past years, and hopes are that a
better group will be fielded this
year. The 400 meter relay team

more people, but two of the posi-
tions are to be filled by Richard

On the other hand, the most
solid points are the sprints, the
shotput and discus, and the pole-

and discus and Rhodenbaugh in

could have finished in the top five
at state if he had been seeded
against a different wrestler. Col-

eying EHL a n d districts in'82
by Craig Johnson
The boys' varsity tennis team
will open its season next Friday
March 26 with an away match
against Columbus Westerville.
From there the team moves on
to the Medina Invitational, a
tournament the Braves play in
every year.
"Some of the top teams in the
state play in this indoor tourna-
ment," said Coach David Swisher.
Swisher went on to say, "It's
good practice and good competi-
tion for the team."
Last year's team played very
well and earned themselves a sec-
ond place finish in the league de-
spite an overall record of 8-7.
However, this record is deceiving.
Last year's squad finished 5-1 in
the EHL. The Braves' only loss
occurred in the last match of the
season against Sycamore, which
went on to win the league title.
This year's team is out to avenge
that loss.
"We definitely want to beat
Sycamore this year. In fact, that
is one of my goals. I also am set
on going to districts," said senior
Charlie Hall.
The 1982 Braves look to be
one of the best teams in several
years. "This year's team has a lot

very promising sophomores," said
Coach Swisher. However, there
have been several injuries to some
of the players.
Many of last year's JV players
are trying out for the team. That
squad had an impressive season,
ending up with an overall record
of 9-2.
This season will mark the fust
season in which the two new
courts will be used. Swisher,
commenting on the addition of
the new courts, said, "They're
great! Now we can practice much
more easily and play all matches
at the high school." In the past,
three of the five matches were
played at the high school, and the
other two played at Stephan Field
Park.
This year, the team has ex-
panded its schedule to the maxi-
mum of twenty-two matches.
Last year the team played only
fdteen matches. This season the
squad will play in the Princeton
and Sycamore Invitationals. In
the past, these tourneys have pro-
vided good practice, and Indian
Hill has done fairly well.
Coach Swisher summed up the
team's thoughts perfectly when
he said, "Our main objective is to
be as successful as we can and to
conduct ourselves in a respectful
manner, and, of course, to win
the league championship."

things that I wouldn't have had
they not been there."
Collins and Webber were ob-
viously proud of Nichols not only
because he won nearly all his
matches with a 28-2 record, but
also because he achieved his goal,
and he followed the coaches rule
that it is not important if you win
or lose. "I like Nichols because
he is very coachable and intelli-
gent" Collins said.
Nichols comes from a long line
of wrestlers. All four of his older
brothers, Mark(32), Frank(30),
Scott(28), who got third at dis-
tricts, and Guy Jr.(24), wrestled
in high school. His brothers aided
John in the emotional aspect of

team. However, he does not plan

by John Christine
Fourteen Indian Hill exchange
students returned from a three
week visit to France Saturday,
February 27. The group and their
chaperone, Mrs. Patricia Connelly,
toured Paris and Angers in order
to learn about French culture and
improve their French.
The exchange students are
Michelle Adkins, Joe Alexander,
Ellen Bishop, Vicki Carnardo,
John Christine, Kurt Dusterberg,
Julia Gilsdorf, Chris Huff, Sherry
Kadivar, Lisa Nicholas, Diane
Perlich, Dwight Poffenburger,
Janine Tschan, and Rosemary
Ward.
In previous exchanges, IHers
had been hosted in Aix-en-
Provence, France. However, this
year Aix canceled the exchange
because not enough French stu-
dents could afford the overseas
voyage.
Immediately after Mrs. JoAnn
Wund, the exchange coordinator,
received news of the lost link,she
began to establish a new link with
the help of an old acquaintance,
Mr. John Cassini. Cassini, a
French teacher at Wyoming High
School, is currently teaching Eng-
lish as a Fullbright teacher in
Angers. Because Aix canceled
only a few weeks before Christ-
mas vacation, Cassini had only
three weeks to find host students
and get the approval of the high
school in Angers, Joachim du
Bellay.
After a slow start from the
New York airport, the group
arrived in Paris. While in Paris,
the IHers visited the Louvre,
Versailles, Notre Dame, and other
tourist attractions. They also vis-
boulangeries and learned about
French cuisine.
The group was housed in
F.I.A.P. (Foyer International
d'Accueil Parisien), an interna-
tional residence for teenagers.
There, the IH students had several
memorable experiences. For Joe
Alexander, "It was the time when
some guy knocked on our door at
2:30 in the morning trying to sell
me a coat!"
While the group saw most of
the sights they had learned about
in French class, most of the stu-
dents did not feel that they had
improved their French speaking
and comprehension significantly.
Besides bein8 in a group, the fact
CHIEFTAIN
that most Parisians spoke some
English meant that one could get
along speaking only in English.
Most students, therefore, felt that
the real culture shock did not oc-
cur until they got to Angers.
In Angers, the exchangers
spoke French most of the day as
-
o~vosedto meaking" onlv. a few
sentences a day in Paris. Ellen
Bishop pointed out that simply
listening to and speaking French
is tiring. She added, "All I did
was sleep for the first few days."
Lisa Nicholas remarked in regard
to her experience with culture
shock that "I was so confused - it
was great. I kind of felt over-
whelmed ."
The students arrived in Angers
three days before vacation began.
During those three days IHers
visited classes at DuBellay, went
shopping, or ate at La Gourman-
dise, a well-known patisserie in
Angers. When vacation began,
students joined in family activities
and some vistied chateaux such as
Azay-le-Rideau, Chambord, and
chion. After vacation; the
group attended four more days of
school before heading back to
Paris where they stayed one night.
Angers is a city of about
190,000 residents including its
suburbs where most of the host
families lived. It is situated in the

February 27, after a three week
trip to Spain. The exchangers in-
clude John Lilly, Stacey Labahn,
Kathleen Ringle, Jim Koster,
Mary Granger, Paula Greeno and
Julie Champe.
Accompanied by Mr. Fogle or
"Dad," the students left Cincin-
nati February 6 and amved in
Madrid twelve hours later. The
exchangers spent three days in
Madrid and in nearby Toledo
sightseeing, accompanied by res-
taurant and bar-hopping with
other American exchange stu-
dents. The students also toured
the famous El Prado museum and
saw Picasso's "Guernica."
On the fourth day of the trip,
the students took an eight hour
train ride to Gaudia, a town in the
province of Valencia, on the Med-
iterranean Sea. In Gaudia the stu-
dents met their host families.
Most of the IH exchangers had
met their host students previously

mained on the music scene while
Art Garfunkel began an acting
career.
The album was recorded at a

known as Oscars is anybody's
guess, but I'm willing t o give it a

I should point out, that the
Academy and the normal movie
goer rarely agree on who should
win. For instance Star Wars, the
most popular movie ever, lost out
to Annie Hall. The same hap-
pened t o Jaws which ranks as the
third most g o p u l a film.
The best movie of 1981 will
be Reds. Of course it should b e
CHIEFTAIN
introduction t o the song builds
excitement for the record listener
as well as for anyone in atten-
dance. Side one contains five
songs, four of which are Simon
and Garfunkel classics; "Mrs.
Robinson," "Homeward Bound,"
"America," and "Scarborough
Fair." The other song "Me and
Julio Down by the School Yard,"
was recorded after the break-up,
but Garfunkel adds his part to the
song, making it sound the way it
should have sounded the first

throughout the entire album, as
his harmonies add a special magic
that has been missing from
Raiders of the Lost Ark, but the
Academy works in mysterious
ways. The best actor will b e
Henry Fonda. This is due to the
fact that he has never won an
Oscar before and his time is slow-
ly running out. But he deserves
it. Best actress will be Diane
Keaton. Don't ask me why, but I
bet she'll get it. The best di-
rector will be Warren Beatty.
Again I think Raiders' director
Steven Spielberg should get it, but
he won't.
And fmally , the best support-
ing actor will beJohn Giellgud for
his bravado performance as Hob-
son in Arthur. Gielgud is certain-
ly most deserving of this honor.

As a whole, side one is very
energetic, as the two seem t o be
carried away with the excitement
and enthusiasm of the fans over
the long awaited reunion.
Side two is much more mellow

very slow, acoustic pieces, "April
She Will Come," "Still &y
After all These Years," and
"American Tune." Although
these lack the energy of the songs

remake of 'Wake up Little Suzie"
and a song called "Late in the

Indian Hill's creative writers
deserve respect, literary outlet
by David Graham
The Indian Hill athlete has his
glory. He has his name on the
morning announcements, his med-
als, his trophies, his athletic ban-
quets. The Indian Hill scholar
also receives his fame, though not
as lustrous as the athlete's.
But these two groups are not
the only categories of students
. -
contained in our school. We also
have people of the arts. In this
article, though, I shall speak most-
ly of the students involved in lit-
erature.
Let it be understood, however,
that creative writers are quite dif-
ferent from the intellectuals who
- wear inch thick glasses and talk
through their noses. They need
not be in the top ten percent of
their class. They need not be
those who strive for good grades.
Rather, writers may be the preps
They may be the outgoing, the
easygoing, or those who walk the
halls with their shirts untucked .
- They don't have to be the brains
of the school.
Given that, the students in-
group of people who, like the
scholars and athletes, need recog-
nition. The Chieftain is mostly
concerned with journalists, not

The Service Committee was
able to raise $300 from the com-
puter dating service. Students
were able to purchase a list of
compatible dates and their phone
numbers for $1.50. The money
will benefit the heart fund.
The Service Committee has
begun its new community project.
Students will go to play with
children, ages 3- 11, at Children's
Hospital every Thursday. All
those interested should meet in
the parking lot at 6: 15 and plan
to return to school by 9:00.
The PTA is having the annual
Rendez-vous May 7. Student
donations in the form of services,
such as gardening or free dona-
tions, will be auctioned.
The Forum Committee pre-
sented the rock band "Free-Fare"

addition to "Free-Fare" playing

creative writers. Why canztpoets,
short story writers, and other
creative authors have their own
publication? If that is too much
trouble, these people can have a
special section in the Chieftain.
Activity period is another way
that creative witers can get in-
volved and get recognition. Why
not a Creative Writing club? In
this club, members can write, get
material published, and even get
information about literature con-
tests that are being held.
However, not only can a
Creative Writing Club be formed,
but also a Moviemaking Club, or
the two can be combined. Hobby
moviemaking is not just home
movies. It can also be a form of
creativity. Many kinds of creative
movies are possible. Some exam-
ples are animation, science fic-
tion, abstract films, and expres-
sionism. Taken that way, movie-
making is indeed an art.
In analysis, free expression of
artistic abilities is quite restrained
at Indian Hill. In my opinion,
creative writing and expressionism
may very well be accepted as edu-
cation. After all, many jobs in-
volve these kinds of skills.
Whether or not Indian Hill will
include them in its activities,
though, is for the future to show.

IH grad Blackley gains esteem as painter
by Richard Stradling
There have been many Indian
Hill graduates who have gone on
to become financially successful
in their fields. But IH can also
boast of having an alumni rich in
artistic talent as well. One IH
grad that falls into both of these
categories is painter Lonnie C.
Blackley ,Jr.
Blackley, who graduated from
IH in 1967, has been drawing and
painting practically all of his life
and decided to make a career of it
in high school. After spending
several years at the Ohio Visual
Art Institute and the Cincinnati
Art Academy, Blackley pursued
another of his abilities, car body
and fender work while attending
art shows on the weekends. He
still works on cars as a hobby
both at his home in Silverton and
a garage he owns in Camp Deni-
son, with his specialty being the
restoration of Camaros.
"It's kind of an odd combina-
tion, body work and painting, but
I don't try to be like anyone
else." Blackley states.

CHIEFTAIN
Since opening his Silverton
gallery behind his house, Blackley
says he "can't complain" about
the amount of business he does.
Blackley also appears in some
twenty to thirty art shows a year
throughout the country and has
had buyers from around the
world, which has aided in spread-
ing his reputation.
Blackley enjoys painting old
Victorian houses, barns, and na-
ture scenes, and his catalogue in-
cludes some scenes of various
spots in Indian Hill. "If I see
something I like, I study it.
Sometimes I may not get around
to painting it for a year or so."
Being a painter means being a
photographer of sorts as Blackley
usually works from photographs
of his subjects, though he some-
times makes sketches. To Black-
ley, it really doesn't make a dif-
ference how long it takes to finish
a painting, as long as the results
are good. "Say it takes two
months to finish a painting, and
I'm not happy with it; I may take
two hours to finish one and be
that if I can learn something, I
can teach it," he states.
However, as spring approaches
and "spring fever" strikes, Mr.
Gallenstein claims that "the kids
lose their concentration. I try to
get as much material covered as I
can before the 'fever' sets in as

very pleased. Time is of no value;
it's the end result that counts."
Blackley is proud of the fact
that he paints what pleases him
instead of painting just to please
the public. "I've seen painters
paint just to sell, and they don't
put their best work forward," he
maintains. "That's why I don't

Mr. Gallenstein attended
Morehead State Universtiy,
majored in mathematics, minored
in guidance then enlisted in the
navy. From 1943 to 1946, he
served aboard the destroyer escort
USS Conally which took him to
places like Iwo Jima and Okina-
wa. He became quartermaster,
which included steering his ship
through the Panama Canal. He
also served as assistant Navigator.
One of Mr. Gallenstein's most
memorable experiences was the
attack and near miss of suicide
Planes near Okinawa.
However, "One of the most
exciting things that happened to
me was in recent years," Mr. Gal-
lenstein said. "One of the sailors
took it upon himself to organize
the shipmates into the D. E.
Sailor's Club." This year, he will
travel to Norfolk, Virgiriia, where
fifty former sailors plan to attend.
After the service, Mr. Gallen-
stein was wondering what he
would do next when he consulted
a farmer, who remarked that
there was a shortage of mathema-
ticians. This rang a bell in his
head, and he began teaching in
Kentucky in 1950. In the sum-

mer of 1951, he took an inter-
ested student out with him into
the tobacco fields. The task was
to make sure the farmers had the
correct amount of land allotted
for tobacco by the government.
A year or two later, he became a
highway engineer and also worked
in Detroit on airplane prototypes
in wind tunnels. From 1954 to
1962, he took a job at Walnut
Hills High School and during that
time was granted a sabbatical t o
finish a degree at the University
of Illionois. In 1962, he came to
Indian Hill, where he has been
ever since.
Mr. Gallenstein doesn't just
teach these days. Aside from his
sailors' conventions, he enjoys the
outdoors. Along with Mr.
Powers, Mr. Noble and former IH
teacher Mr. Connell, he sailed in a
boat down the Tennesse River
from Knoxville.
Also, as an everyday hobby,
Mr. Galtenstein gets up at about
4:15 every morning to chart
stocks. "I chart about fifty com-
panies daily," he stated.
Whether instructing students
on the evils of the "fever" or re-
telling an old war story, Mr. Gal-
lenstein has established himself as
one of IH's more colorful
teachers.

senior sketch
Katie loves movies, men, and music
by Felicia Sagrati
W e interviewing Katie
Robertshaw, I became so in-
trigued that I simply had to find
out about her background, to dis-
cover what in her environment
makes her such an active and
caring individual. I searched
everywhere: at the hiraries, the
County Clerk's office, the police
blotter, and I came up with the
following data.
Katie has nine siblings, all
older, and is an aunt ten times
over. She also loves to travel,
planning to spend spring break in
Atlanta. Although I blackmailed
her with the following informa-
tion, she has lapsed in her pay-
ments, so here it is: she loves
peanut butter and jelly sand-
wiches.
Katie's high school career has

ment, in Indian Hill as well as the

The list of her activities is not

numerous class projects. Con-
cerned with helping others, Katie
has helped in the past and cur-
rently helps the St. Vincent

has opened her eyes to "how easy
we have it and how sheltered we
are."
You can also find Katie help-

worked for "Mr. A." for over two

Senior Search at Children's Hospi-

As she counts down her lim-

memories are important to her.
"I haven't said much about school
- let's leave it at that. I'm in a rut
and am ready to get out, but I've
spent thirteen years here, and I
have to have some ties." There's
just so much to say about the
friend I've known since kinder-
garten like her taste in music
(anything fast), movies (come-

kins but definitely "not with
Brooke Shields").
All I can say is that wherever
In school, Ed believes "aca-
demics are most important." In
his four years at Indian Hill, he
has not taken one study hall and
has enjoyed most of his classes.
"The only way I wouldn't like a
class," says Ed, "is if I didn't like
the teacher." He especially en-
joys his English class with Mr.
Orndorff because of the discus-
sion that takes place between the
students and the teacher.
As far as extracurricular activ-
ities go, Ed participates in all
forms including sports and various
school sponsored clubs. Soccer,
track, and basketball have all been
part of Ed's activities at Indian
Hill, but he has excelled in soccer
most of all. Known to his team-
mates as "Animal," Ed was one of
the leading defenders for the
squad this year, as he was named
Honorable Mention in the E.H.L.
for the '81 season.
Ed has also participated in the

senior years. In the Industrial

hosted an Austrian student for
four weeks. Also, Ed has hosted a
Spanish exchange student through

go to Europe himself.
Out of school, Ed would fit
the description of the proverbial
outdoorsman. He enjoys camp-
ing, hiking, and skiing and has
been a Boy Scout for many years.
After his high school years, Ed
plans to attend the University of
Cincinnati where he hopes to
graduate with an architectural
degree. Ed hopes to participate in

"America," and "Scarborough
Fair." The other song "Me and
Julio Down by the School Yard,"
was recorded after the break-up,
but Garfunkel adds his part to the
song, making it sound the way it
should have sounded the first

throughout the entire album, as
his harmonies add a special magic
that has been missing from
Raiders of the Lost Ark, but the
Academy works in mysterious
ways. The best actor will b e
Henry Fonda. This is due to the
fact that he has never won an
Oscar before and his time is slow-

it. Best actress will be Diane
Keaton. Don't ask me why, but I
bet she'll get it. The best di-

Again I think Raiders' director
Steven Spielberg should get it, but
he won't.
And fmally , the best support-

'Hot Legs Contest' begins Monday
Dear Fellow Students,
We would like to thank every-
one that has been recently getting
involved in Student Government
and hope that you continue your
participation in the upcoming
events.
Once again, SG will be contin-
uing our Big BrotherIBig Sister
project by attending the April 30
Reds game when Cincinnati meets
the St. Louis Cardinals. We were
able to purchase the tickets at a
special $2.50 group rate. Tickets
will be distributed in homeroom
for those who ordered them.
Also, IH will host the annual
basketball tournament this week-
end. Tournament rounds will be
held Friday from four to eight
and Saturday, one to seven thirty.
Admission is free so come cheer
on IH's own basketball team,
"Sweat". Their first game is
Friday at 5 :00.
student opinion
Indian Hill's creative writers
deserve respect, literary outlet
by David Graham
The Indian Hill athlete has his
glory. He has his name on the
morning announcements, his med-
als, his trophies, his athletic ban-
quets. The Indian Hill scholar
also receives his fame, though not
as lustrous as the athlete's.
But these two groups are not
the only categories of students
. -
contained in our school. We also
have people of the arts. In this
article, though, I shall speak most-
ly of the students involved in lit-
erature.
Let it be understood, however,
that creative writers are quite dif-
ferent from the intellectuals who
- wear inch thick glasses and talk
through their noses. They need
not be in the top ten percent of
their class. They need not be
those who strive for good grades.
Rather, writers may be the preps
They may be the outgoing, the
easygoing, or those who walk the
halls with their shirts untucked .
- They don't have to be the brains
of the school.
Given that, the students in-
group of people who, like the
scholars and athletes, need recog-
nition. The Chieftain is mostly
concerned with journalists, not

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

that creative witers can get in-
volved and get recognition. Why
not a Creative Writing club? In
this club, members can write, get
material published, and even get
information about literature con-
tests that are being held.
However, not only can a
Creative Writing Club be formed,
but also a Moviemaking Club, or
the two can be combined. Hobby
moviemaking is not just home
movies. It can also be a form of
creativity. Many kinds of creative
movies are possible. Some exam-
ples are animation, science fic-
tion, abstract films, and expres-
sionism. Taken that way, movie-
making is indeed an art.
In analysis, free expression of
artistic abilities is quite restrained
at Indian Hill. In my opinion,
creative writing and expressionism
may very well be accepted as edu-
cation. After all, many jobs in-
volve these kinds of skills.
Whether or not Indian Hill will
include them in its activities,
though, is for the future to show.

~ i c h o l sfinally falls in state after winning districts
by David Stradling
John Nichols' wrestling season
finally ended at Columbus in the
fist round of the state wrestling
match. After winning the district
title in the 155 pound category,
Nichols was defeated for only the
second time this year by John
Kegg of Tellmedge, Cleveland. At
districts, Nichols captured first by
defeating Dave Green of Beaver
Creek, 10-5, as well as three other
155 pound wrestlers.
Coaches Jim Collins and Ron
Webber both agree that Nichols
could have finished in the top five
at state if he had been seeded
against a different wrestler. Col-
lins noted that Kegg was good on
his feet which is Nichols' strong
point. In fact, up until the final
match at sectionals, Nichols had
never been "taken down" by
another wrestler. "At districts

Experienced tennis Braves
eying EHL a n d districts in'82
by Craig Johnson
The boys' varsity tennis team
will open its season next Friday
March 26 with an away match
against Columbus Westerville.
From there the team moves on
to the Medina Invitational, a
tournament the Braves play in
every year.
"Some of the top teams in the
state play in this indoor tourna-
ment," said Coach David Swisher.
Swisher went on to say, "It's
good practice and good competi-
tion for the team."
Last year's team played very
well and earned themselves a sec-
ond place finish in the league de-
spite an overall record of 8-7.
However, this record is deceiving.
Last year's squad finished 5-1 in
the EHL. The Braves' only loss
occurred in the last match of the
season against Sycamore, which
went on to win the league title.
This year's team is out to avenge
that loss.
"We definitely want to beat
Sycamore this year. In fact, that
is one of my goals. I also am set
on going to districts," said senior
Charlie Hall.
The 1982 Braves look to be
one of the best teams in several
years. "This year's team has a lot
of talent. We lost just one starter
to graduation and have a fleet of

very promising sophomores," said
Coach Swisher. However, there
have been several injuries to some
of the players.
Many of last year's JV players
are trying out for the team. That
squad had an impressive season,
ending up with an overall record
of 9-2.
This season will mark the fust
season in which the two new
courts will be used. Swisher,
commenting on the addition of
the new courts, said, "They're
great! Now we can practice much
more easily and play all matches
at the high school." In the past,
three of the five matches were
played at the high school, and the
other two played at Stephan Field
Park.
This year, the team has ex-
panded its schedule to the maxi-
mum of twenty-two matches.
Last year the team played only
fdteen matches. This season the
squad will play in the Princeton
and Sycamore Invitationals. In
the past, these tourneys have pro-
vided good practice, and Indian
Hill has done fairly well.
Coach Swisher summed up the
team's thoughts perfectly when
he said, "Our main objective is to
be as successful as we can and to
conduct ourselves in a respectful
manner, and, of course, to win
the league championship."

Only Deer Park failed to place
a player on the squad, while
league-champ Madeira placed
things that I wouldn't have had
they not been there."
Collins and Webber were ob-
viously proud of Nichols not only
because he won nearly all his
matches with a 28-2 record, but
also because he achieved his goal,
and he followed the coaches rule
that it is not important if you win
or lose. "I like Nichols because
he is very coachable and intelli-
gent" Collins said.
Nichols comes from a long line
of wrestlers. All four of his older
brothers, Mark(32), Frank(30),
Scott(28), who got third at dis-
tricts, and Guy Jr.(24), wrestled
in high school. His brothers aided
John in the emotional aspect of
wrestling.
Nichols now has picked up the
ball and glove and is working to

team. However, he does not plan

French, Spcrnish exchangers return from travels
French Exchange
by John Christine
Fourteen Indian Hill exchange
students returned from a three
week visit to France Saturday,
February 27. The group and their
chaperone, Mrs. Patricia Connelly,
toured Paris and Angers in order
to learn about French culture and
improve their French.
The exchange students are
Michelle Adkins, Joe Alexander,
Ellen Bishop, Vicki Carnardo,
John Christine, Kurt Dusterberg,
Julia Gilsdorf, Chris Huff, Sherry
Kadivar, Lisa Nicholas, Diane
Perlich, Dwight Poffenburger,
Janine Tschan, and Rosemary
Ward.
In previous exchanges, IHers
had been hosted in Aix-en-
Provence, France. However, this
year Aix canceled the exchange
because not enough French stu-
dents could afford the overseas
voyage.
Immediately after Mrs. JoAnn
Wund, the exchange coordinator,
received news of the lost link,she
began to establish a new link with
the help of an old acquaintance,
Mr. John Cassini. Cassini, a
French teacher at Wyoming High
School, is currently teaching Eng-
lish as a Fullbright teacher in
Angers. Because Aix canceled
only a few weeks before Christ-
mas vacation, Cassini had only
three weeks to find host students
and get the approval of the high
school in Angers, Joachim du
Bellay.
After a slow start from the
New York airport, the group
arrived in Paris. While in Paris,
the IHers visited the Louvre,
Versailles, Notre Dame, and other
tourist attractions. They also vis-
boulangeries and learned about
French cuisine.
The group was housed in
F.I.A.P. (Foyer International
d'Accueil Parisien), an interna-
tional residence for teenagers.
There, the IH students had several
memorable experiences. For Joe
Alexander, "It was the time when
some guy knocked on our door at
2:30 in the morning trying to sell
me a coat!"
While the group saw most of
the sights they had learned about
in French class, most of the stu-
dents did not feel that they had
improved their French speaking
and comprehension significantly.
Besides bein8 in a group, the fact
CHIEFTAIN
that most Parisians spoke some
English meant that one could get
along speaking only in English.
Most students, therefore, felt that
the real culture shock did not oc-
cur until they got to Angers.
In Angers, the exchangers
spoke French most of the day as
-
o~vosedto meaking" onlv. a few
sentences a day in Paris. Ellen
Bishop pointed out that simply
listening to and speaking French
is tiring. She added, "All I did
was sleep for the first few days."
Lisa Nicholas remarked in regard
to her experience with culture
shock that "I was so confused - it
was great. I kind of felt over-
whelmed ."
The students arrived in Angers
three days before vacation began.
During those three days IHers
visited classes at DuBellay, went
shopping, or ate at La Gourman-
dise, a well-known patisserie in
Angers. When vacation began,
students joined in family activities
and some vistied chateaux such as

Seven Indian Hill students re-
turned to Cincinnati Saturday,
February 27, after a three week
trip to Spain. The exchangers in-
clude John Lilly, Stacey Labahn,
Kathleen Ringle, Jim Koster,
Mary Granger, Paula Greeno and
Julie Champe.
Accompanied by Mr. Fogle or
"Dad," the students left Cincin-
nati February 6 and amved in
Madrid twelve hours later. The
exchangers spent three days in
Madrid and in nearby Toledo
sightseeing, accompanied by res-
taurant and bar-hopping with
other American exchange stu-
dents. The students also toured
the famous El Prado museum and
saw Picasso's "Guernica."
On the fourth day of the trip,
the students took an eight hour
train ride to Gaudia, a town in the
province of Valencia, on the Med-
iterranean Sea. In Gaudia the stu-
dents met their host families.

Softball Squaws aiming to match
by Kurt Dusterberg
Girls varsity softball coach
Robert Wessinger has a great deal
of two things going into the
Squaws' season: 1. talent, 2. en-
thusiasm.
The varsity Squaws have ten
of sixteen players returning from
last year's squad, so Indian Hill
stands a fair chance to equal last
season's 17-3 record. The team
has tremendous balance with six
seniors, two juniors, five sopho-
mores and three freshmen. So
what weaknesses could the
Squaws possibly have?
"We don't have any weak-
nesses," Wessinger laughed. "We
work two hours a day, seven days
a week. Right now, we're stress-
ing hitting because, early in the
year it is the hardest skill to de-
velop."
Wessinger has reduced his po-
tential players into his final team.
The competition, Wessinger feels,
will keep the players on their
toes.
Track Braves prepare for Sycamore Relays
by Paul Monach
The 1982 boys' track season
kicked off in good fashion March
1, with nine meets plus the EHL,
Sectional, and District champion-
ships in sight.
The fast week of practice was
a conditioning period to get the
team in shape for more strenuous
workouts. The entire team prac-

said, "to help team unity." After
that week, the workouts have
been more specialized, and some

Last year, Indian Hill finished

not indicate how tough it was for
the Squaws to win the title. Four
of those games were decided by

In the five years Wessinger has

first meet, the Sycamore Relays
Friday March 26.
In fact, the relays, particularly
the 1600 meter relay, have been
under special consideration. The
1600 meter relay has been weak
in past years, and hopes are that a
better group will be fielded this
year. The 400 meter relay team
of John Gennantonio, Jim Mor-
gan, Dave Rhodenbaugh, and
John Fitzmaurice will return from

with a year's experience behind

Overall, the areas most in need
of people are the 400 meters, 800
meters, the hurdles, and the 1600
and 320Q meter relays. The dis-
tance areas are also in need of
more people, but two of the posi-
tions are to be filled by Richard
Stradling and Dwight Poffen-
berger.
On the other hand, the most
solid points are the sprints, the
shotput and discus, and the pole-
vault. Craig Carman in shotput
and discus and Rhodenbaugh in
the pole vault are two hopefuls to
do well in the EHL and-other

"Sweat" player, agreed.

phesized that the team "will prob-

In regards to total team suc-

feel that we can finish at least
third or fourth in the EHL."
However, next yea1 should b e
even better, as most of the team,
as juniors this year, will be return-

Braves working to avenge previous sour season
by Mike Petraglia
Coach Jim Benken is looking
forward to seeing how the varsity
baseball Braves will fare this year
with good reason. His team is
looking to better last year's dis-
mal 5-15 mark.
One of the factors that
plagued the Braves last year was
the rain that seemed to follow the
team wherqver it went. Partly be-
cause of the weather, the Braves
were never really able to pull it all
together. Another factor was the
number of untimely and costly
errors that the team committed,
which played a role in the final
outcome four to five times during
the year.
Out of all this, though, came
the good fortune of having many
juniors who have now gained var-
sity experience and now are back
as seniors. John Nichols, Bill
Carroll and Doug Ulrner, who

The JV Braves' opening game
will be played March 26 at home
against Finneytown, Coach
Dennis Dowling is still unsure of
his starting lineup. He explains,
"This is due to the fact that it has
rained so much that the team has
been unable to practice outside,
and I have been unable to prop-
perly evaluate all their talents. Of
course, all the other teams in the
city are having the same problem
so we are not behind in prepara-
tion compared to everyone else."
Last year the Braves finished
at 4-10, with seven of those losses
b y three runs or less. "Our prob-
lem last year was a lack of hit-
ting," stated Coach Dowling, "but
our defense was very good, and
our pitching was average."
This year Dowling thinks he
has a better hitting club, although
he has to see his team hit outside
first before describing the players'
potential. The defense is expected
to be just as good as last year.

should provide depth as pitchers.
Last year's JV squad has
offered an abundance of talent
this year's competition for start-
ing jobs and backup roles.
The Braves are not batting a
typical varsity problem this year -
making up for graduated seniors.
Only Paul Brown, John Brophy,

year's Most Improved Piayers.
Jim Atkinson could start as the
Braves' second baseman if he is
able to avoid injuries. Atkinson
missed several games last season
when he injured a finger before a
game with Seven Hills. Behind the
plate the Braves have good
defense in their two freshmen
catchers, Steve Flannery and Bill
Croskey.
The outfield is one of the big
question marks the team- Nine
people are still in contention for
the outfield positions. One likely
prospect is Kurt Froehlich, who
saw some action with the JV
Braves last year. Coach Dowling's
major concern is his pitching
staff. All of his starters from last
year have gone to the varsity
team, and now the pitching staff
has little depth.
Overall, the team has yet to
take its full form, but Dowling
sees his team as "building for the
varsity by developing the players'
skills. The varsity benefits from
this training and it has a good
team this year." Coach Dowling's
goal for his players is quite
simply, to "have fun and improve
the team's baseball skills."
