Head student trainers h a m v in their ~ositions
by Kevin Walzer
Hidden far inside the cavern of
halls underneath the commons
building is a small room. Enter
and visible is a table, a whirlpool,
and a person clad in a red jacket
propped up on a table reading a
book. It is a student trainer sit-
ting in the training room.
What you ask, is the training
room? It is a room where athletes
go for minor medical treatments,,
taping, icing, whirlpool, and other
minor remedies all taken care of
by the student trainers.
What, you ask, is a student
trainer? It is a person who is re-
sponsible for administering the
treatments described. In short,
the student trainers are the ones
who prevent and treat these min-
or injuries.
Many changes have been made
in the ranks of the trainers recent-
ly, and the greatest has been the
removal of the position of one
head student trainer who handled
all areas of responsibilities. The
one head trainer was replaced
with five head student trainers,
each with certain areas of respon-
sibility. Head trainer in charge of
organization, senior Amy Oster-
brock, says that this was done
because "it was hard for one per-
son to do everything. There was
too much competition and noth-
ing was getting accomplished."
The new five head student
trainers are: Osterbrock, organi-
zation; senior Tracy Mather in
charge of staff; senior Elaine Hern
overseeing training procedures;
and senior Ann Markiewicz and
junior Jenny Malloy handling re-
search education and publicity.
All the girls are extremely
happy with their training jobs,
and for Osterbrock, the enjoy-
ment comes from the day-today
contact with other people. Her
position, as trainer in charge of
organization, demands this.
"I'm in charge of getting
everything together," she speci-
fied of her position. "I organize
everything. I make the schedule
and if things don't get done, I
have to be told. I also have to
cover for people who can't be
there at a certain time for some
reason. Basically, I handle the
- - details of training.

Mather described her respons-
ibilities as "to take care of the
staff. If there's a problem, I have
to get on the person's case to
make sure it's corrected."
She loves being a trainer. "It's before the actual game, after
the best job in the school. It's
great. We all have good times!"
Hern oversees the day-today
procedures in the training room,
makes sure all is running smooth-
ly. "I take care of everything that
goes on in the training room - head trainer, uses to discuss new
what has to or should be done,
and if it is being done." The day-
in, day-out things.
Does she enjoy being a train-
er? "Yes, very much. I'm in my
third year. It's fun."
Markiewicz and Malloy handle
the rather large area of research,
education and publicity. They're
the people who make sure the
world knows about the trainers.
States Markiewicz, "We gath-
er all information and post it on
the bulletin board, outside of the
training room. We also are in
charge of educating new trainers;
we make up tests on training for
them. We organize the staff meet-
ings, as well.
"We also are in charge of
media, publicizing the trainers.
We don't get recognized the way
we should."
Markiewicz, for her part, is
especially dedicated to being a
trainer. So much, she says, that
she plans on making it a career.
"I enjoy it so much. I'm look-
ing at several colleges which I
hope can prepare me for an even-
tual career in sportsmedicine. 1
intend to enter that field."

Mather described some of the

"Anyone can get involved at

Golfers make IH history at state
by Brian Rowe
The boys' golf team made
their best finish ever in post-
season play last weekend as they
finished second in the AA state
tournament at Ohio State Univer-
sity in Columbus.
The team shot a two-day score
of 686, finishing 14 strokes be-
hind Columbus Dublin, which fin-
ished with a 672.
Leading the "Birdie Braves"
was junior John Bishop who fired

Marching band advances to state
by Paul Monach
The marching band advanced
to state competition with a super-
ior rating and a win in its division
at the Reading-Lockland Band In-
vitational held October 8.
Band director Mr. Steve Stri-
der was, naturally, very pleased
with the performance. "This is a
very young band. For us to win
our division in our first contest is
impressive."
The band will compete in the
Ohio State stadium in Columbus
on Saturday, November 5, for
state competition.
IH placed first of six bands in
all awarded areas in Class B, for
smaller bands, the others being
Harrison, Amelia, Deer Park,
Ross, and Lemon-Monroe. The
band received first place trophies
for band, percussion, flag corps,
and drum majors (juniors Scott
Seward and Ken Jones).
IH's scores were also com-
bands (Roger Bacon, Lakota,
Walnut Hills, Anderson) to de-
termine an overall champion,
which was Roger Bacon, IH plat-
ing second. IH placed first overall
in music and percussion and also
for marching from one of the two
judges. Roger Bacon's 6.1 point
edge was made solely in the cate-
rounds of 84 and 81, senior Jim
Hall had a 102 and a 94, junior
Brian Rowe had a 94-91, and
senior Andy Plate fired a 94 and
an 81.
Poor weather conditions and
the difficult course forced scores
to be high after Friday's round,
but the team found itself in gec-
ond place, 13 strokes behind Dub-
lin, with a 353 score. Bishop and
Louder paced IH with rounds of

us."

only two losses were both t o

for league runner-up honors.

strong round of 77 to earn the
medalist spot.
The band's next competition
will be the Glen Este Invitational
on Saturday, October 29. IH will
compete in the big band, Class A,
category, the top one, against
Hillsboro, Moeller, Amelia, and
Sycamore. A grand champion '
from all classes will be chosen in a
manner similar to the Reading
competition.
Last year the IH band won in
the novice division at Glen Este
and placed third overall to St. X.
and Moeller. Affer its perfor-
mance at Reading, IH will be one
of the favored bands for grand
champion this year.
IH's competition show was
seen in the first two home foot-
ball games and all the away games
at which the band has played.
The show included selections
from the "Firebird Suite," by
Igor Stravinsky, "Georgia On My
Mind," and George Benson's "The
Greatest Love of All." The show
has undergone several minor
changes since the first game, but
most of the work has been in
polishing and perfecting the finer
points of the difficult routine.
Strider was very appreciative
of the effort that made the Read-
ing performance such a success.
"The band has been a very good
team. We have had good success
because we have rehearsed well.
The band members have been
very cooperative."

doesn't matter if the entire audi-
ence rises t o their feet with thun-
dering applause. They can tell all
of their friends that the show was
wonderful, if that is what they be-
lieve, but the critic, the expert,
must divorce himself from the
crowd and comment objectively.'
The other extreme of opinion
is that beauty is entirely in the
eye of the beholder and that if
the critic's eyes see things from an
entirely different perspective than
those of the rest of the audience,
then he is simply in need of a new
pair of proverbial glasses. This at-
titude is very common among art-
ists, who believe that if the crit-
ics really knew as much about art
as they would have us believe,
then they would be creating it, in-
stead of writing about it.
As I see it, the truth lies
somewhere between these two ex-
tremities. Certainly, some people
do know more about a given form
of art than others do, and certain-
ly there are criteria by which art
can be judged. If this were not
the case, then there would be no
need for critics, teachers, or even
the term 'artist,' for there would
be no way to distinguish the abili-
ty of a first-grade finger-painter
fromthat of Picasso.
The problem though is that
once all intellectual disputes are
taken care of, emotional opinions
still remain. An expert may very
easily determine whether or not a
particular work of art is well
made, but in the final analysis,
this judgment may have little or
nothing to do with how much he
likes it. A fust-grader's finger-
painting does, after all, have a cer-
tain amount of character.
Perhaps the biggest problem
with critics stems from the very
title which we attach to their
profession. We almost oblige the
critic to criticize most of the
time. The critic who praises every
work of art which he examines is
thought to be weak. It might
serve the critic and his audience
well if he were to think of himself
as an observer. This term seems
much less pretentious, because it
allows the commentator to be-
come a part of the audience, rath-
er than to always sit on a t h r w e
above it.

Excellence in athletics a n d education:
a question of balance, says Wehmann
by Kevin Walzer
With the recent condemnation
of America's public schools by
the National Commission of Ex-
cellence in Education, schools
are attempting to upgrade their
curriculums with the addition of
tougher standards, more money,
and cutting back on "extras,''
such as many elective courses, and
extracurricular activities. But ac-
cording to some, the cutting back
of these activities, such as sports,
to direct more emphasis on the
curriculum itself, could be defeat-
ing the very purpose it sought to
serve.
"It is a question of balance,"
states Athletic Director Carol
Wehmann. "Education in the
classroom is important, but I look
upon athletics as an extension of
the school day. There is a lot to
be gained from participating in
athletics."
Mr. Gary Gellert took a slight-
ly different stance, but acknow-
ledged the importance of athlet-
ics. "Education is more impor-
tant than athletics," he said.
"The emphasis should be on what
is learned in the classroom, al-
though athletics does help in
making a more-rounded person.
But the first point in education is
the curriculum, not the athletics,
and that should be the main fo-
cus."
Wehmann re-emphasized this
point, linking athletics as an in-
centive to do well in school.
"For example, in California, the
schools have instituted high stan-
dards on students to do well. To
participate in any extracurricular
activity, a student must be passing

yet the girls were pleased with
their overall performance. "Even

every subject and have a C aver-
age. In Ohio this applies only to

ticipating in a sport to make sure
they're not having trouble in any
classes. That person is me. If a
person is having trouble, he can't
play a sport, so he or she wants to
keep the grades up."
"But for the most part, here at
Indian Hill, that doesn't happen.
The kids here are very committed
to their studies."
But, Wehmann emphasized,
Indian Hill may be the exception
rather than the rule. Still, she
feels that a certain balance is
vhieved between sports and
studies in most cases.
"For most kids, doing well in
school and participating in sports

people see the benefits of partici-

pate. Of course, that makes it that
much harder to do well, but the
students learn to balance their
time. When something is of value,
like sports and doing well in
school, a person gains the perspec-
tive on how to do both."
Gellert added, "The purpose
of education is the growth and
development of people who have
a love of learning. Athletics plays
a strong role in that, though it is
not the central focus."
As can be gleaned from Gel-
lert's statement, he feels that ath-
letics is a major part of education,
but not the main focus. He seems
to feel, though, that participation
in athletics should not be dimin-
ished in light of studies, just not
overemphasized.

Wahl, as well as the two doubles
teams of Wilbur and Meyer and
Carin Chabut and Karen Weiss all
won their matches to give IH the
win.
Despite the disappointing
finish, the individuals' records
look brighter. Two team mem-
bers, Denise Winkle and Michelle
Sheringer, finished the season
with a perfect record. Two other
players, Devine and Powers post-
ed overall winning records. Over-
all, the future is bright for the
returning JV members.
Page 11
He gave as an example the
crackdown of the NCAA on
college admissions of student ath-
letes who are severely deficient in
reading and written expression.
"Colleges were admitting students
who couldn't read and write,"
he stated. "I don't think that
these students who can't read and
write should even get a high
school diploma. It's pretty hard
to succeed in college without a
high school diploma.
"What is happening in Cali-
fornia, the stringent requirements
for participation in extracurricu-
lar activities, is a step in the right
direction. I think that the class-
room performance of a student is
more important than participa-
tion in extracurricular activities.
Extracurriculars are important,
but they are just what the name
says - extra. The curriculum is
more important."
So, it seems, the classroom
performance of a student must be
balanced with the demands of
athletics.
Wehmann summarized this
point with a different perspective.
"The main idea of excellence
in education is to learn the skills
in the classroom and apply them
in a different context. If you can
write an English composition but
can't apply those skills, what have
you learned? If you can play foot-
ball, but can't work together with
other people in a team later in life
and relate to these people, what
have you learned? There is the
need for balance: taking the skills
you have learned in the classroom
and applying them elsewhere;
taking what you have learned
from the sport: working with
others, relating to others, and
applying it elsewhere. There is
the need for balance."

The team came out fited-up
against
" the Mustangs,

ited Braves jumped out to an 8-0
lead on a touchdown pass to
sophomore Mike Cohen, who also
caught the conversion pass. But
Madeira came back and by half-
time had built a 20-8 lead.
Late in the fourth quarter the
Braves fought back tremendously
to add two more touchdowns,
with sophomore Brian Vonder-
brink running in both on sheer
strength of will. But the Braves
threw an interception to end their
drive, and on the next play Ma-
deira broke the 20-20 deadlock
with a touchdown. They added
another one to-ice the cake and
notch a 34-20 win.
In the locker room after the
game the coaches said, "We're
proud of the team. We were glad
to see them fight back. They
should not hang their heads."
The Braves had a tough game
against Mariemont on October 9,
losing 32-0. The Braves could just
not get moving, and the Warriors
exploited that. But despite the
loss, freshman Scott Jeske and
sophomore Mike Anderson both

Sycamore handed IH a 36-14
loss on October 2. In the fust
quarter, the Aves drove down to
IH's 20 yard line, where they
passed for the touchdown. They
missed the two-point conversion.
The Aves later in the quarter
scored their second touchdown
on an end run, and made the two
point conversion.
In the second quarter, the
Braves fought back to score a
touchdown on a 20-yard pass to
Anderson. The attempted con-
version pass was deflected. The
Aves received the ball, and after
several plays scored another
touchdown. Again their two-
point conversion missed. But
they led anyway, 20-6.
In the third quarter, quarter-
back Jim Berling connected with
Anderson on a 40-yard pass play

Industrial Arts Club tours AR Industries
by Curt Reising
The Industrial Arts Club went
on a field trip to AR Industries
Wednesday, October 10.
AR Industries is a privately
owned weldment fabrication shop
which started with two employ-
ees in 1947 and has since grown
to become one of the largest fab-
rication shops in this area.
During the trip, the club mem-
bers were shown some of the
most modern welding equipment
in the industry, such as a numer-
ically controlled plasma-cutting
machine and a 1500-ton hydraul-
ic shaping press. They were
shown all phases of the produc-
tion process from the manage-
ment level to the construction of
the weldments.

As some of you may already
know, Musicfest's taking place
this year has been in question.
The reasons stem from a variety
of problems. Due to the current
conservative political times and
the striving for educational excel-
lence, many parents have in-
formed the Board of Education
that they feel that Musicfest's
time during school would be bet-
ter spent in the classroom. How-
ever, the more damning argument
against Musicfest is the apparent

Seniors urged to compete for NCR scholarship
Indian Hill seniors are encour-
aged to compete for a $3,000
four-~earcollege scholarship and
an NCR personal computer that
will be awarded this spring to a p
proximately 100 students
throughout the country.
The scholarships and personal
computers are being offered
through the NCR Centennial
Scholars Program, established by
NCR Corporation as part of the
company's 100th anniversary cel-
ebration for 1984.
The program provides an op-
portunity for two seniors (one
male and one female) in each
state to win a $750 cash scholar-
ship for each of four years of
college. Each winner also will re-
ceive an NCR personal computer
valued at more than $3,000.

Green attacks the many Democratic hopefuls
by Samuel Green
The Presidential race has
already begun. But what 1 feel
the real importance of this early
beginning is that none of the
presidential runners is worth his
weight in feathers.
The six or seven candidates
running (WHO KEEPS COUNT
ANYMORE?) for the Democratic
Nomination are all reincarnations
of Jimmy Carter for their various
reasons.
The first of these men is one
Walter "Fritz" Mondale. Fritz, as
he is called by his friends, has
looked up from his knees to every
possible group there is. The only
possible exception is the
"Anti-Nuclear Whales of the
Great Lakes Abortion Clinic."
The reason for this is that
Mondale was told by one of his
advisors that there are no whales
in the Great Lakes. Mondale had
a quick response to gain their
support. Mondale pledged as
soon as he is elected that he
would move whales to the Great
Lakes and to hell with what
Canada thought about it.
Another one of these fearless
men is John Glenn. Glenn, quite
different from Mondale, is a good
politician, but nothing more.
Glenn's relation to Carter is that
when Carter was running for
President, Carter didn't have an
opinion on anything. The one
positive thing Glenn has that
Mondale doesn't is backbone.
CHIEFTAIN
Winners will be selected
through a two-stage screening
process. Test results and self-re-
ported descriptive information re-
leased to the program from the
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of
the College Board's Admissions
Testing Program or from the
American College Testing Pro-
gram's ACT Assessment will be
used for the first screening. A
small number of participants (ap-
proximately 25 males and 25 fe-
males from each state) will be
designated as finalists as a result
of this first screening.
Seniors who meet the follow-
ing criteria are encouraged to have
their SAT or ACT results submit-
ted for consideration:
- cumulative secondary school
grade point average of 3.5 (out
Glenn must surely feel like Carter
in the fact that he too is a
politician. Especially when one
considers he is one of the biggest
spenders in the Senate, and now
he is taking the moderate
conservative attitude to win his
way to the White House.
Alan Cranston has stated only
one topic and that is the nuclear
freeze. The reason he can relate
to this issue is that his campaign is
in a freeze. I say that because he
is for a one-sided (unilateral)
freeze, unless of course he has
changed his mind again. Cranston
is supposedly third in the polls,
but I wonder how a man with no
real campaign can get so far.
Gary Hart, the ultra-liberal
from Colorado, has campaigned
on the nuclear freeze issue also.
But Gary has one interesting thing
that separates him from the other
Democrats running for president.
Gary has come out of the closet
and accepted the support of the
homosexual group in California.
Gary has recently decided he is

"Seniors who wish to be con-
sidered for the NCR Centennial
Scholars Program must authorize
the release of their SAT or ACT
test results, and they must do so
by Friday, November 11," stated
Dr. Karl Feltman, principal of
Indian Hill High School. "Gui-
dance counselors have details on
how to do this, as well as answers
to other questions about the pro-
gram. I urge all interested seniors
Does this mean he is going to
expand beyond San Francisco and
Colorado?
Now for the masochist,
George McGovern. George
suffered a crushing defeat in
1972. The votes came in 6 to 1
from his own home town (or
something like that). George is
the liberal's liberal-he loves to
spend money so long as he
doesn't have to earn it.
McGovern's wife said she would
not support her husband in the
campaigning. George himself still
feels he can do just as well as he
did last time, even without his
wife's vote. At least his wife is
smarter that he is. Maybe she
should run instead of him.
George has attacked President
Reagan's foreign policy, because
George does not believe in foreign
policy. George himself wants
unilateral (one-sided) disarma-
ment. George has made his
ideas on disarmament clear to
the Soviet leaders, and the Soviet
leaders agreed the United States
should be disarmed. No need to

In the second stage of selec-
tion, those seniors who are desig-
nated as finalists will be asked to
provide detailed biographical in-
formation, secondary school
transcripts, and recommenda-
tions. An independent committee
of college admissions profession-
als will select winners based on
academic merit, taking into ac-
count performance, potential,
goals, and personal characteristics.
Winners of the NCR Centen-
nial Scholars Program will be an-
nounced in May. Each winner

sonal computer next summer, and

wonder who sends money to
George.
Three of the candidates have
either locational or vice
presidential relationships to the
Democratic ex-president, Carter.
The three are Walter Mondale,
Reubin Askew, and Ernest
Hollings. The writer has asked
these three candidates about their
"Carter connection." The
responses are as follows: Walter
"Fritz" Mondale- "Hey, I never
really knew the guy or anything;
I was just his Vice President."
Reubin Askew-"Florida is not
really in the South." Ernest
...
Hollings- "I know, I know but I
dress better than he ever did."
Jesse Jackson, an outstanding
orator, preaches loudly but offers
no solutions to the immediate
problems of all groups. Jackson is
constantly flirting with the idea
of running for the presidency.
Jackson himself is dedicated to
finding a presidential candidate,
no matter who he is, so long as
that person represents the needs
of the blacks and most
importantly is .a Democrat. The
open-minded liberal. Jackson's
prophetic statement is : 'I have a
scheme."
None of the Democrats
running are showing their true
feelings or telling what they
would do IF. But the one thing
these who are all generally alike
have in common is they want the
highest job in the land and are
willing to sacrifice the needs of
the people for Special Interest
Groups. Think about it.

Wehmann was at least feeling a lit-

from sectionaI play the week be-

The trials a n d tribulations of Smedley Wimpster
by Hugh Geier
Once upon a Homecoming
evening, Smedley Wirnpster felt
especially depressed. As he looked
down on his seven year old Nikes
(which had a particularly bad air
about them), he sobbed and said
to himself "Why, oh why, will no
girl go to Homecoming with me?"
Smedley had tried so hard to
obtain a date, and one could not
help but feel sorry for him. Such
was the sentiment of the good
fairy Connelly. At 7:43 precisely
(Smedley's calculator watch kept
perfect time), the good fairy burst
through his bedroom window
riding her magic pre-calculus
book.
"Smedley," she said "you've
done extremely well in my class,
and you deserve some sort of
reward. I've decided to grant you
one wish."
Smedley , who was surprised
by such a great stroke of luck,
hesitated at first, but suddenly he
blurted, "I would like. . . a per-
fect Homecoming evening, with a
beautiful girl."
"Very well," said the good
fairy, and in a sudden burst of
energy she took off on her Magic

Jon Kitei is then definitely

disc review
Genesis benefits from Collins' original style
by Ken Jones
Genesis went t o no pains in
naming their new album, Genesis.
The question facing the buyer
when purchasing the new album is
most probably "Is this another
Phil Collins album or is it real
Genesis?" This question arises
after two successful gold albums
by Genesis drummer, Phil Collins.
He has been greatly influencing
the traditional sound of Genesis,
especially in their latter albums.
The album opens with the ex-
perimental and sometimes strange
"Mama." The first Collins trade-
mark the listener will recognize is
his heavy drumbeat. This monot-
onous slam every other beat is
bothersome but produces a nice
backdrop for the mysterious tone
of the song.
As for the other musicians,
Tony Banks provides an eerie syn-
thesizer sound while Mike Ru-
therford produces little more than
a few chords on the guitar. Col-
lins treats us to some interesting
and emotional vocals, including a
truly demonic laugh right in the
middle of the song.
Unlike other experimental
songs by Genesis like "Who Dun-
nit?" on the Abacab album, this
song works. It achieves a musical
peculiarity while at the same time
it builds t o a powerful, emotional,
and angry climax. "Mama" is a
mile marker in the evolution of
Genesis.
"That's All" seems to be
pretty cut and dried. The music is
trite and the two solos, one key-
board and one guitar, go nowhere.
The lyrics are not interesting and
the phrase "That's All" ends al-

CHIEFTAIN
most every line. The whole song
is circular and has no natural end-
ing; I guess that's why they have
t o say "That's All!"
The following song, "Home
By the Sea: describes Collins'
loneliness-after his divorce.On the
Duke album, Collins described the
situation between him and his
wife fairly well in "Please Don't
Ask." This is not to be repeated
on Genesis.
"Home By the Sea" is a fairly
long two-part song. The second
section is mostly an extended
keyboard solo. Banks' solo is no-
thing special and not com-
parable to his solo in "Duke's
Travels" off of Duke, where the
mild-mannered Banks works up a
frenzy on his synthesizers. On the
whole, the song has a very electric
and modern sound, but really no-
thing outstanding in the music.
The lyrics contain a line where
Collins sings "Sit down, sit down/
as we relive our lives in what we
tell you." This spot is usually
where I decide to skip the song
and turn the record over.
After a fairly disappointing
and drab first side, "Illegal Alien"
starts off the second side with a
pleasant surprise. This song is fun
to listen to and is extremely
catchy; a quality Genesis has
lacked for a long time. If this song
is a product of Collins, then I
wouldn't mind hearing more Col-
lins and less Genesis in the future.
Collins makes "Illegal Alien" a
funny song by singing the whole
time in a cheap Mexican accent.
The whole song is a slur on Mexi-.
can immigrants, but the product
is hilarious. The satire is sharp
-D.A. Agincourt
with lines like "It's no fun being
an illegal alien" and the sound of
Mexican car horns in the back-
ground. "So don't tell anybody
what I wanna do/ If they find o u t
you know that they'll never let
me through."
After the hysteria of "Illegal
Alien," Genesis follows with t h e
mellow "Taking It All Too Hard."
This is a nice song, but it is an-
other song by Collins about his
ex-wife. This subject matter has
been hashed and re-hashed b y
Collins. Give it up.
, keeps reporting the last two lines
This mellow break is long
enough, so Genesis gets back t o
the hysteria on the next song,
"Just A Job To Do." Like "Illegal
Alien," the music is exciting a n d
interesting. More than that, t h e
tempo of this song is fast. "So
what?" you may ask. Well, it
seems that many of Genesis' songs
have a set tempo with little varia-
tion allowed. "Just A Job To Do"
takes that mold and throws it o u t
the window.
The song describes the job a n d
the emotion of a low-level assas-
sin. This original material provides
some interesting lyrics. "It seems
you went just a little too far this

and"Silver

Rainbow"
go." contains t h e
ever-present Collins drumbeat ac-
companying some strange lyrics.
Genesis has a knack for finding
some fairly bizarre lyrics to f i
their songs. For example, "Do-
do," off the Abacab album has t o
be one of the most nonsensical
songs for Genesis to date, contain-
ing lyrics like "Dodo ugly, so
Dodo must die." "Silver Rain-
bow" follows the pattern with
"Rivers run uphill,/ Blue turns in-
to grey,/ Winter follows spring-
time,/ Morning ends the day."
For the most part, "Silver
Rainbow" is rather entertaining.
The only bad comes when the trio
of the song over, and over, and
over. Tedium then sets in.
The tedium is relieved with
the subtle masterpiece, "It's
Gonna Get Better." This song fol-
lows in the footsteps of songs like
"Follow You" from the And
Then There Were Three album.
Such songs discuss happiness and
what is needed t o attain it: co-
operative human interaction.
"It's Gonna Get Better" talks
of the plight of the poor. The ly-
rics hit home when examining t h e
hopeless attitude of the poor.
"...Always fighting and moon-
lighting it never ends / in the city
if you're all alone." Genesis ends
the album on a positive note,
giving hope for the future. "Cos
you know, I know, it's time for
change."
T o answer the consumers'
question, Genesis is a succesful
synthesis of the Genesis and t h e
Phil Collins styles. Collins makes
his presence felt on the album
more than any of the other three,
but Genesis still works best as a
trio.

Barb rnodulates a bit left of center
by Nancy Hopple
"My thought process is a bit
twisted. Everybody's outlook on
life is different, but my outlook is
a bit different than different. It
borders on the bizarre." This
"bizarre" outlook on life is pre-
cisely what makes senior Barb
Neu such an interesting and color-
ful asset to Indian Hill High
School.
Although Barb claims she's
"not normal," she insists, "I'm
not radical, contrary to some

A graduate of Ohio Northern

Beyond his running, Garwood

one's number one priority should
be English skills."
In addition, a good routine of
working as well as an efficient
schedule are at the top of Gar-
wood's list. These philosophies
were passed on to him from an
English professor in college. "I

hard in school your amount of

fact, at this very moment Barb is
on the yearly Peer Counseling
.retreat, in which she wishes "the
whole school could participate.
There isn't one person who
doesn't need Peer Counseling."
She adds, "You can avoid dealing
with people, but sooner or later it
catches up with you."
On the subject of vital neces-
sities, Barb expresses an incredible
"need to modulate" which she is
able to fulfill through the Police
on her "awesome new stereo."
Among her other essential ele-
ments are frequent trips to Taco
Casa, the taco salad being her
most frequent object of desire.
Barb states, "It's not a luxury, it's

Besides taco salads, Barb has

not fully reveal his character.
Perhaps one activity which does
illustrate his personality is his av-
ocation of refereeing at local bas-
ketball games in the winter. It
takes a very tolerant and placid
temperament to handle the often
tense situation on the court. "I
don't have a lot of mood swings."
He has learned to handle the
ordinary, as well as the emergency
situations on or off the court.
Mr. Garwood has discovered
the formula for smoothing o u t
life's bumps and jolts while bal-
ancing various aspects of a busy
life.
"live for the present" philosophy.
That is, "live for the present
unless it's too rotten. Then look
to the past or future for comfort."
In her academic future, Barb is
"definitely going east. Since I'm
applying to six places, some- .
body's got to take me." Among
Barb's college choices are Connec-
ticut College, Vassar, and the
University of Vermont.
This small senior sketch could
not possibly give a total picture of
Barb's multi-faceted personality.
Her interest in history and art,
involvement in Little Debbie cult
activities, and adventures with the
green Toyota she affectionately
refers to as "the Turd" remain
untold. But there's still time to
find out before Barb heads off for
college. Just ask her. She's the

Perhaps one activity which does

He has learned to handle the

The trials a n d tribulations of Smedley Wimpster
by Hugh Geier
Once upon a Homecoming
evening, Smedley Wirnpster felt
especially depressed. As he looked
down on his seven year old Nikes
(which had a particularly bad air
about them), he sobbed and said
to himself "Why, oh why, will no
girl go to Homecoming with me?"
Smedley had tried so hard to
obtain a date, and one could not
help but feel sorry for him. Such
was the sentiment of the good
fairy Connelly. At 7:43 precisely
(Smedley's calculator watch kept
perfect time), the good fairy burst
through his bedroom window
riding her magic pre-calculus
book.
"Smedley," she said "you've
done extremely well in my class,
and you deserve some sort of
reward. I've decided to grant you
one wish."
Smedley , who was surprised
by such a great stroke of luck,
hesitated at first, but suddenly he
blurted, "I would like. . . a per-
fect Homecoming evening, with a
beautiful girl."
"Very well," said the good
fairy, and in a sudden burst of
energy she took off on her Magic

Unfortunately, in all the ex-

disc review
Genesis benefits from Collins' original style
by Ken Jones
Genesis went t o no pains in
naming their new album, Genesis.
The question facing the buyer
when purchasing the new album is
most probably "Is this another
Phil Collins album or is it real
Genesis?" This question arises
after two successful gold albums
by Genesis drummer, Phil Collins.
He has been greatly influencing
the traditional sound of Genesis,
especially in their latter albums.
The album opens with the ex-
perimental and sometimes strange
"Mama." The first Collins trade-
mark the listener will recognize is
his heavy drumbeat. This monot-
onous slam every other beat is
bothersome but produces a nice
backdrop for the mysterious tone
of the song.
As for the other musicians,
Tony Banks provides an eerie syn-
thesizer sound while Mike Ru-
therford produces little more than
a few chords on the guitar. Col-
lins treats us to some interesting
and emotional vocals, including a
truly demonic laugh right in the
middle of the song.
Unlike other experimental
songs by Genesis like "Who Dun-
nit?" on the Abacab album, this
song works. It achieves a musical
peculiarity while at the same time
it builds t o a powerful, emotional,
and angry climax. "Mama" is a
mile marker in the evolution of
Genesis.
"That's All" seems to be
pretty cut and dried. The music is
trite and the two solos, one key-
board and one guitar, go nowhere.
The lyrics are not interesting and
the phrase "That's All" ends al-

most every line. The whole song
is circular and has no natural end-
ing; I guess that's why they have
t o say "That's All!"
The following song, "Home
By the Sea: describes Collins'
loneliness-after his divorce.On the
Duke album, Collins described the
situation between him and his
wife fairly well in "Please Don't
Ask." This is not to be repeated
on Genesis.
"Home By the Sea" is a fairly
long two-part song. The second
section is mostly an extended
keyboard solo. Banks' solo is no-
thing special and not com-
parable to his solo in "Duke's
Travels" off of Duke, where the
mild-mannered Banks works up a
frenzy on his synthesizers. On the
whole, the song has a very electric
and modern sound, but really no-
thing outstanding in the music.
The lyrics contain a line where
Collins sings "Sit down, sit down/
as we relive our lives in what we
tell you." This spot is usually
where I decide to skip the song
and turn the record over.
After a fairly disappointing
and drab first side, "Illegal Alien"
starts off the second side with a
pleasant surprise. This song is fun
to listen to and is extremely
catchy; a quality Genesis has
lacked for a long time. If this song
is a product of Collins, then I
wouldn't mind hearing more Col-
lins and less Genesis in the future.
Collins makes "Illegal Alien" a
funny song by singing the whole
time in a cheap Mexican accent.
The whole song is a slur on Mexi-.
can immigrants, but the product
is hilarious. The satire is sharp
-D.A. Agincourt
with lines like "It's no fun being
an illegal alien" and the sound of
Mexican car horns in the back-
ground. "So don't tell anybody
what I wanna do/ If they find o u t
you know that they'll never let
me through."
After the hysteria of "Illegal
Alien," Genesis follows with t h e
mellow "Taking It All Too Hard."
This is a nice song, but it is an-
other song by Collins about his
ex-wife. This subject matter has
been hashed and re-hashed b y
Collins. Give it up.
, keeps reporting the last two lines
This mellow break is long
enough, so Genesis gets back t o
the hysteria on the next song,
"Just A Job To Do." Like "Illegal
Alien," the music is exciting a n d
interesting. More than that, t h e
tempo of this song is fast. "So
what?" you may ask. Well, it
seems that many of Genesis' songs
have a set tempo with little varia-
tion allowed. "Just A Job To Do"
takes that mold and throws it o u t
the window.
The song describes the job a n d
the emotion of a low-level assas-
sin. This original material provides
some interesting lyrics. "It seems

go." contains t h e
ever-present Collins drumbeat ac-
companying some strange lyrics.
Genesis has a knack for finding
some fairly bizarre lyrics to f i
their songs. For example, "Do-
do," off the Abacab album has t o
be one of the most nonsensical
songs for Genesis to date, contain-
ing lyrics like "Dodo ugly, so
Dodo must die." "Silver Rain-
bow" follows the pattern with
"Rivers run uphill,/ Blue turns in-
to grey,/ Winter follows spring-
time,/ Morning ends the day."
For the most part, "Silver
Rainbow" is rather entertaining.
The only bad comes when the trio
of the song over, and over, and
over. Tedium then sets in.
The tedium is relieved with
the subtle masterpiece, "It's
Gonna Get Better." This song fol-
lows in the footsteps of songs like
"Follow You" from the And
Then There Were Three album.
Such songs discuss happiness and
what is needed t o attain it: co-
operative human interaction.
"It's Gonna Get Better" talks
of the plight of the poor. The ly-
rics hit home when examining t h e
hopeless attitude of the poor.
"...Always fighting and moon-
lighting it never ends / in the city
if you're all alone." Genesis ends
the album on a positive note,
giving hope for the future. "Cos
you know, I know, it's time for
change."
T o answer the consumers'
question, Genesis is a succesful
synthesis of the Genesis and t h e
Phil Collins styles. Collins makes
his presence felt on the album
more than any of the other three,
but Genesis still works best as a
trio.

Green attacks the many Democratic hopefuls
by Samuel Green
The Presidential race has
already begun. But what 1 feel
the real importance of this early
beginning is that none of the
presidential runners is worth his
weight in feathers.
The six or seven candidates
running (WHO KEEPS COUNT
ANYMORE?) for the Democratic
Nomination are all reincarnations
of Jimmy Carter for their various
reasons.
The first of these men is one
Walter "Fritz" Mondale. Fritz, as
he is called by his friends, has
looked up from his knees to every
possible group there is. The only
possible exception is the
"Anti-Nuclear Whales of the
Great Lakes Abortion Clinic."
The reason for this is that
Mondale was told by one of his
advisors that there are no whales
in the Great Lakes. Mondale had
a quick response to gain their
support. Mondale pledged as
soon as he is elected that he
would move whales to the Great
Lakes and to hell with what
Canada thought about it.
Another one of these fearless
men is John Glenn. Glenn, quite
different from Mondale, is a good
politician, but nothing more.
Glenn's relation to Carter is that
when Carter was running for
President, Carter didn't have an
opinion on anything. The one
positive thing Glenn has that
Mondale doesn't is backbone.
CHIEFTAIN
Winners will be selected
through a two-stage screening
process. Test results and self-re-
ported descriptive information re-
leased to the program from the
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of
the College Board's Admissions
Testing Program or from the
American College Testing Pro-
gram's ACT Assessment will be
used for the first screening. A
small number of participants (ap-
proximately 25 males and 25 fe-
males from each state) will be
designated as finalists as a result
of this first screening.
Seniors who meet the follow-
ing criteria are encouraged to have
their SAT or ACT results submit-
ted for consideration:
- cumulative secondary school

Glenn must surely feel like Carter
in the fact that he too is a
politician. Especially when one
considers he is one of the biggest
spenders in the Senate, and now
he is taking the moderate
conservative attitude to win his
way to the White House.
Alan Cranston has stated only
one topic and that is the nuclear
freeze. The reason he can relate
to this issue is that his campaign is
in a freeze. I say that because he
is for a one-sided (unilateral)
freeze, unless of course he has
changed his mind again. Cranston
is supposedly third in the polls,
but I wonder how a man with no
real campaign can get so far.
Gary Hart, the ultra-liberal
from Colorado, has campaigned
on the nuclear freeze issue also.
But Gary has one interesting thing
that separates him from the other
Democrats running for president.
Gary has come out of the closet
and accepted the support of the
homosexual group in California.
Gary has recently decided he is

"Seniors who wish to be con-

the release of their SAT or ACT
test results, and they must do so

Dr. Karl Feltman, principal of
Indian Hill High School. "Gui-
dance counselors have details on
how to do this, as well as answers
to other questions about the pro-
gram. I urge all interested seniors
Does this mean he is going to

Colorado?
Now for the masochist,
George McGovern. George
suffered a crushing defeat in
1972. The votes came in 6 to 1
from his own home town (or
something like that). George is
the liberal's liberal-he loves to
spend money so long as he
doesn't have to earn it.
McGovern's wife said she would
not support her husband in the
campaigning. George himself still
feels he can do just as well as he
did last time, even without his
wife's vote. At least his wife is
smarter that he is. Maybe she
should run instead of him.
George has attacked President
Reagan's foreign policy, because
George does not believe in foreign
policy. George himself wants
unilateral (one-sided) disarma-
ment. George has made his
ideas on disarmament clear to
the Soviet leaders, and the Soviet
leaders agreed the United States
should be disarmed. No need to

In the second stage of selec-
tion, those seniors who are desig-
nated as finalists will be asked to
provide detailed biographical in-
formation, secondary school
transcripts, and recommenda-
tions. An independent committee
of college admissions profession-
als will select winners based on
academic merit, taking into ac-
count performance, potential,
goals, and personal characteristics.

Three of the candidates have
either locational or vice
presidential relationships to the
Democratic ex-president, Carter.
The three are Walter Mondale,
Reubin Askew, and Ernest
Hollings. The writer has asked
these three candidates about their
"Carter connection." The
responses are as follows: Walter

really knew the guy or anything;
I was just his Vice President."
Reubin Askew-"Florida is not

Hollings- "I know, I know but I

Jesse Jackson, an outstanding
orator, preaches loudly but offers
no solutions to the immediate
problems of all groups. Jackson is
constantly flirting with the idea
of running for the presidency.
Jackson himself is dedicated to
finding a presidential candidate,
no matter who he is, so long as
that person represents the needs
of the blacks and most
importantly is .a Democrat. The
open-minded liberal. Jackson's
prophetic statement is : 'I have a

None of the Democrats
running are showing their true
feelings or telling what they
would do IF. But the one thing
these who are all generally alike
have in common is they want the
highest job in the land and are
willing to sacrifice the needs of
the people for Special Interest
Groups. Think about it.

Field hockey coach Carol
Wehmann was at least feeling a lit-

from sectionaI play the week be-
fore by Dayton Oakwood, but on
Wednesday she notched her 100th
career victory with a 2-0 win over
Talawanda. That sweetenea the
sectional loss somewhat.
"It was a good way to end the
season," she said. "We had very
strong offense in that game."
Juniors Amy Wiatt and Missy

goal apiece.

The Braves proceeded into a
ten minute scoreless overtime, a
scoreless sudden death period,
and then a penalty kick period,
allowing each team five penalty
shots.
Four of the five penalty shots
were put in by the Braves. Junior
Matt Graham put in the first pen-
alty shot, making the score 5-4.
Freshman goalie Ian Meyer saved
the first Seven Hills shot. but the
coach was very pleased with the
team's results. As she points out,
"To take second and third place
out of the 170 some schools
competing in our AA league is not
only quite an honor for the
school, but also a great tribute to
the players."

win, in addition to giving Weh-
mann her 100th win, clinched the
Southwestern Ohio Field Hockey
League championship for the
Squaws for the third straight year.
However, Wehmann was not as
pleased with the team's showing
in sectionals, a 2-1 loss to Oak-
wood.
"That eliminated us, right
then and there," she said, bluntly.
"We had a lot of opportunities
that game, but it didn't happen."

Wehmann was pleased with

"Considering that they are the de-

goal, which was good. Overall, it
was a very good game."
Wehmann's career record is
100-30-10. In her tenure as field

Braves to face Loveland

With three games left in the
season, varsity football coach
Gene Brindise and his 1 4 Braves

"We're not going to face any

The Braves face the first of

JV football Braves still winless

The team came out fited-up

ited Braves jumped out to an 8-0
lead on a touchdown pass to
sophomore Mike Cohen, who also
caught the conversion pass. But
Madeira came back and by half-
time had built a 20-8 lead.
Late in the fourth quarter the
Braves fought back tremendously
to add two more touchdowns,
with sophomore Brian Vonder-
brink running in both on sheer
strength of will. But the Braves
threw an interception to end their
drive, and on the next play Ma-
deira broke the 20-20 deadlock
with a touchdown. They added
another one to-ice the cake and
notch a 34-20 win.
In the locker room after the
game the coaches said, "We're
proud of the team. We were glad
to see them fight back. They
should not hang their heads."
The Braves had a tough game
against Mariemont on October 9,

The Aves later in the quarter

Industrial Arts Club tours AR Industries

Wednesday, October 10.

machine and a 1500-ton hydraul-

of problems. Due to the current
conservative political times and
the striving for educational excel-
lence, many parents have in-
formed the Board of Education
that they feel that Musicfest's
time during school would be bet-
ter spent in the classroom. How-
ever, the more damning argument
against Musicfest is the apparent

the quality of the performance. I t
doesn't matter if the entire audi-
ence rises t o their feet with thun-
dering applause. They can tell all
of their friends that the show was
wonderful, if that is what they be-
lieve, but the critic, the expert,
must divorce himself from the
crowd and comment objectively.'
The other extreme of opinion
is that beauty is entirely in the
eye of the beholder and that if
the critic's eyes see things from an
entirely different perspective than
those of the rest of the audience,
then he is simply in need of a new
pair of proverbial glasses. This at-
titude is very common among art-
ists, who believe that if the crit-
ics really knew as much about art
as they would have us believe,
then they would be creating it, in-
stead of writing about it.
As I see it, the truth lies
somewhere between these two ex-
tremities. Certainly, some people
do know more about a given form
of art than others do, and certain-
ly there are criteria by which art
can be judged. If this were not
the case, then there would be no
need for critics, teachers, or even
the term 'artist,' for there would
be no way to distinguish the abili-
ty of a first-grade finger-painter
fromthat of Picasso.
The problem though is that
once all intellectual disputes are
taken care of, emotional opinions
still remain. An expert may very
easily determine whether or not a
particular work of art is well
made, but in the final analysis,
this judgment may have little or
nothing to do with how much he
likes it. A fust-grader's finger-
painting does, after all, have a cer-
tain amount of character.
Perhaps the biggest problem
with critics stems from the very
title which we attach to their
profession. We almost oblige the
critic to criticize most of the
time. The critic who praises every
work of art which he examines is
thought to be weak. It might
serve the critic and his audience
well if he were to think of himself
as an observer. This term seems
much less pretentious, because it
allows the commentator to be-
come a part of the audience, rath-
er than to always sit on a t h r w e
above it.

Excellence in athletics a n d education:
a question of balance, says Wehmann
by Kevin Walzer
With the recent condemnation
of America's public schools by
the National Commission of Ex-
cellence in Education, schools
are attempting to upgrade their
curriculums with the addition of
tougher standards, more money,
and cutting back on "extras,''
such as many elective courses, and
extracurricular activities. But ac-
cording to some, the cutting back
of these activities, such as sports,
to direct more emphasis on the
curriculum itself, could be defeat-
ing the very purpose it sought to
serve.
"It is a question of balance,"
states Athletic Director Carol
Wehmann. "Education in the
classroom is important, but I look
upon athletics as an extension of
the school day. There is a lot to
be gained from participating in
athletics."
Mr. Gary Gellert took a slight-
ly different stance, but acknow-
ledged the importance of athlet-
ics. "Education is more impor-
tant than athletics," he said.
"The emphasis should be on what
is learned in the classroom, al-
though athletics does help in
making a more-rounded person.
But the first point in education is
the curriculum, not the athletics,
and that should be the main fo-
cus."
Wehmann re-emphasized this
point, linking athletics as an in-
centive to do well in school.
"For example, in California, the
schools have instituted high stan-
dards on students to do well. To
participate in any extracurricular
activity, a student must be passing

"But for the most part, here at
Indian Hill, that doesn't happen.
The kids here are very committed
to their studies."
But, Wehmann emphasized,
Indian Hill may be the exception
rather than the rule. Still, she
feels that a certain balance is
vhieved between sports and
studies in most cases.

people see the benefits of partici-
pation, and they strive to partici-
pate. Of course, that makes it that
much harder to do well, but the
students learn to balance their
time. When something is of value,
like sports and doing well in
school, a person gains the perspec-
tive on how to do both."
Gellert added, "The purpose
of education is the growth and
development of people who have
a love of learning. Athletics plays
a strong role in that, though it is
not the central focus."
As can be gleaned from Gel-
lert's statement, he feels that ath-
letics is a major part of education,
but not the main focus. He seems
to feel, though, that participation
in athletics should not be dimin-
ished in light of studies, just not
overemphasized.

Wahl, as well as the two doubles

Carin Chabut and Karen Weiss all

win.
Despite the disappointing
finish, the individuals' records
look brighter. Two team mem-
bers, Denise Winkle and Michelle
Sheringer, finished the season
with a perfect record. Two other
players, Devine and Powers post-
ed overall winning records. Over-
all, the future is bright for the

He gave as an example the
crackdown of the NCAA on
college admissions of student ath-
letes who are severely deficient in
reading and written expression.
"Colleges were admitting students
who couldn't read and write,"
he stated. "I don't think that
these students who can't read and
write should even get a high
school diploma. It's pretty hard
to succeed in college without a
high school diploma.
"What is happening in Cali-
fornia, the stringent requirements
for participation in extracurricu-
lar activities, is a step in the right
direction. I think that the class-
room performance of a student is
more important than participa-
tion in extracurricular activities.
Extracurriculars are important,
but they are just what the name
says - extra. The curriculum is
more important."
So, it seems, the classroom
performance of a student must be
balanced with the demands of
athletics.
Wehmann summarized this
point with a different perspective.
"The main idea of excellence
in education is to learn the skills
in the classroom and apply them
in a different context. If you can
write an English composition but
can't apply those skills, what have
you learned? If you can play foot-
ball, but can't work together with
other people in a team later in life
and relate to these people, what
have you learned? There is the
need for balance: taking the skills
you have learned in the classroom
and applying them elsewhere;
taking what you have learned
from the sport: working with
others, relating to others, and
applying it elsewhere. There is
the need for balance."

Head student trainers h a m v in their ~ositions
by Kevin Walzer
Hidden far inside the cavern of
halls underneath the commons
building is a small room. Enter
and visible is a table, a whirlpool,
and a person clad in a red jacket
propped up on a table reading a
book. It is a student trainer sit-
ting in the training room.
What you ask, is the training
room? It is a room where athletes
go for minor medical treatments,,
taping, icing, whirlpool, and other
minor remedies all taken care of
by the student trainers.
What, you ask, is a student
trainer? It is a person who is re-
sponsible for administering the
treatments described. In short,
the student trainers are the ones
who prevent and treat these min-
or injuries.
Many changes have been made
in the ranks of the trainers recent-
ly, and the greatest has been the
removal of the position of one
head student trainer who handled
all areas of responsibilities. The
one head trainer was replaced
with five head student trainers,
each with certain areas of respon-
sibility. Head trainer in charge of
organization, senior Amy Oster-
brock, says that this was done
because "it was hard for one per-
son to do everything. There was
too much competition and noth-
ing was getting accomplished."
The new five head student
trainers are: Osterbrock, organi-
zation; senior Tracy Mather in
charge of staff; senior Elaine Hern
overseeing training procedures;
and senior Ann Markiewicz and
junior Jenny Malloy handling re-
search education and publicity.
All the girls are extremely
happy with their training jobs,
and for Osterbrock, the enjoy-
ment comes from the day-today
contact with other people. Her
position, as trainer in charge of
organization, demands this.
"I'm in charge of getting
everything together," she speci-
fied of her position. "I organize
everything. I make the schedule
and if things don't get done, I
have to be told. I also have to
cover for people who can't be
there at a certain time for some
reason. Basically, I handle the
- - details of training.

. ing !"
Mather described her respons-
ibilities as "to take care of the
staff. If there's a problem, I have
to get on the person's case to
make sure it's corrected."
She loves being a trainer. "It's before the actual game, after
the best job in the school. It's
great. We all have good times!"
Hern oversees the day-today
procedures in the training room,
makes sure all is running smooth-
ly. "I take care of everything that
goes on in the training room - head trainer, uses to discuss new
what has to or should be done,
and if it is being done." The day-
in, day-out things.
Does she enjoy being a train-
er? "Yes, very much. I'm in my
third year. It's fun."
Markiewicz and Malloy handle
the rather large area of research,
education and publicity. They're
the people who make sure the
world knows about the trainers.
States Markiewicz, "We gath-
er all information and post it on
the bulletin board, outside of the
training room. We also are in
charge of educating new trainers;
we make up tests on training for
them. We organize the staff meet-
ings, as well.
"We also are in charge of
media, publicizing the trainers.
We don't get recognized the way
we should."
Markiewicz, for her part, is
especially dedicated to being a
trainer. So much, she says, that
she plans on making it a career.
"I enjoy it so much. I'm look-
ing at several colleges which I
hope can prepare me for an even-
tual career in sportsmedicine. 1
intend to enter that field."

Osterbrock. "We sit in there

Mather described some of the
other requirements of bainers.

with good friends, Markiewicz
and Osterbrock encourage ycu to
think about becoming a trainer.
"We really need people," said
Osterbrock. "We have five seni-
ors, and we'll have t o fill those
positions with new people."
"Anyone can get involved at
any time," stressed Markiewicz.
"But we do need people, that's

The hard work of these head
trainers is obvious. But it hasa

Golfers make IH history at state
by Brian Rowe
The boys' golf team made
their best finish ever in post-
season play last weekend as they
finished second in the AA state
tournament at Ohio State Univer-
sity in Columbus.
The team shot a two-day score
of 686, finishing 14 strokes be-
hind Columbus Dublin, which fin-
ished with a 672.
Leading the "Birdie Braves"
was junior John Bishop who fired

rounds of 81 and 80 on the dif-

Marching band advances to state
by Paul Monach
The marching band advanced
to state competition with a super-
ior rating and a win in its division
at the Reading-Lockland Band In-
vitational held October 8.
Band director Mr. Steve Stri-
der was, naturally, very pleased
with the performance. "This is a
very young band. For us to win
our division in our first contest is
impressive."
The band will compete in the
Ohio State stadium in Columbus
on Saturday, November 5, for
state competition.
IH placed first of six bands in
all awarded areas in Class B, for
smaller bands, the others being
Harrison, Amelia, Deer Park,
Ross, and Lemon-Monroe. The
band received first place trophies
for band, percussion, flag corps,
and drum majors (juniors Scott
Seward and Ken Jones).
IH's scores were also com-
bands (Roger Bacon, Lakota,
Walnut Hills, Anderson) to de-
termine an overall champion,
which was Roger Bacon, IH plat-
ing second. IH placed first overall
in music and percussion and also
for marching from one of the two
judges. Roger Bacon's 6.1 point
edge was made solely in the cate-
rounds of 84 and 81, senior Jim
Hall had a 102 and a 94, junior
Brian Rowe had a 94-91, and
senior Andy Plate fired a 94 and
an 81.
Poor weather conditions and
the difficult course forced scores
to be high after Friday's round,
but the team found itself in gec-
ond place, 13 strokes behind Dub-
lin, with a 353 score. Bishop and
Louder paced IH with rounds of
81 and 84, respectively.

to help the team shoot a 333, a

IH tied for second with Lakota,

Representatives from other Class B bands look on in envy as Scott
Seward, Ken Jones, Chad Smith, and Vonda Willis claim the first-place
band trophy at the Reading-Lockland Band Invitational.
Dublin, playing on their home
course, proved too tough, shoot-
ing a 340-332 twoday total.
"This has been the greatest
team I've ever coached in any
sport," crowed an ecstatic coach
Bob West. "This is a once-in-a-
lifetime thing. A thrill for all of
us."
After winning the sectional
tournament the Braves went t o
the Weatherwax Golf Course in
Columbus and defeated all AA
teams, including arch-rival Wyom-
ing, in southwestern Ohio t o
finish first and qualify for the
state tourney. Bishop and Plate

led the victorious Braves, shooting
74 and 80 to help them to a total
of 322, a good ten strokes ahead
of their nearest competitor, Wyo-
ming. With his round, Bishop
earned AA medalist honors.
Before embarking for Colum-
bus the Braves wound up their
EHL season and tourney, finish-
ing with a strong 12-2 league
record. Unfortunately the Braves'
only two losses were both t o
Sycamore, and they had to settle
for league runner-up honors.
Louder came through with a
strong round of 77 to earn the
medalist spot.
The band's next competition
will be the Glen Este Invitational
on Saturday, October 29. IH will
compete in the big band, Class A,
category, the top one, against
Hillsboro, Moeller, Amelia, and
Sycamore. A grand champion '
from all classes will be chosen in a
manner similar to the Reading
competition.
Last year the IH band won in
the novice division at Glen Este
and placed third overall to St. X.
and Moeller. Affer its perfor-
mance at Reading, IH will be one
of the favored bands for grand
champion this year.
IH's competition show was
seen in the first two home foot-
ball games and all the away games
at which the band has played.
The show included selections
from the "Firebird Suite," by
Igor Stravinsky, "Georgia On My
Mind," and George Benson's "The
Greatest Love of All." The show
has undergone several minor
changes since the first game, but
most of the work has been in
polishing and perfecting the finer
points of the difficult routine.
Strider was very appreciative
of the effort that made the Read-
ing performance such a success.
"The band has been a very good
team. We have had good success
because we have rehearsed well.
The band members have been
very cooperative."
