Squaws were defeated 15-9,15-9.
But to senior Mary Granger, the
tournament was a success after
being named to the All-Star vol-
leyball team by the coaches pres-
ent at the tournament.
The Squaws ended their sea-
son with a league record of four
wins and ten losses and a season
record of 8-13. "Despite our
poor record," commented Cooke,
"I think it was a great season. The
girls were dedicated, hard working

Senior Elizabeth Artzt sets the ball in recent Squaws' action.
Despite their losses the
Squaws did show an improvement
on their form and play. "As far
as I'm concerned," said Cooke,
"they're the best team I've ever
coached. When considering their
form and the improvement
they've shown as individual play-
ers and as a team, they've been
one of the most successful teams
I've coached."
Concentration. "Don't dwell
on it; think about what you will
do."
Confidence. Rowe: "We're
going to win this ihim."
A strong mental attitude is a
key to being a champion, but
other factors are inherent.
rhese are physical preparation,
tradition, and, according to some
players, camraderie.
As Crilley said before, a player
must be physically competent.
"She must be able to react to any
situation in court," she reiterated.
"She can hit any shot, get to any
ball, keep it in play. The founda-
tion of this is drilling practice."
But beyond basic physical
skills, Crilley added, tradition
plays a large role .in success.
Success in the past breeds success
in the present, which breeds
success in the future.
"Tradition is a big part of it,"
tradition of success in tourna-
ments. Players want to Live up to
that ."
But, she said, there is more to

Seniors Lisa Holzman and
Granger both were named All-Star
in the EHL as senior Elizabeth
Artzt received an honorable
mention.
"I'm going to miss my s e
niors,"said Cooke."They made up
a major part of our team. Next
year is going to be a building stage

more good players."
tournament pressure. The thing is,
many of our girls had big sisters
who competed for IH in the past
(such as freshman Aubrey Abbot-
her sister Marnie graduated last
year after playing for the
Squaws). These big sisters went
to state in the past, and the little
sisters were up in Columbus with
them. So the little sisters were
exposed to these tournaments in
the past, and the pressure is noth-
ing new to them. That's a real
advantage."
Several of the players them-
selves cited different reasons.
Senior Karen McCurdy alluded to
the friendship shared by her and
senior Lynne Schneebeck,
Enquirer Tennis Player of the
Year, as helpful in smoothing out
the transition from their individu-
al singles games to their combined
game.
"It felt funny for awhile,
playing with Lynne," she said.
"We played together sophomore
year, but we've both improved
since then. Part of the awkward-
.-
ness disappearing was because
-
we're good friends and a close
team ."
McCurdy also noted that "we
had somewhat different attitudes.

Star team last year?
4. Who led the National League

5. Which major league team had

ANSWERS
We both had injuries at the time
(McCurdy an ankle injury,
Schneebeck a pulled stomach
muscle). We didn't think we'd get
t o the finals at state. But we did.
I had to reassure Lynne that I
could play, and we were there to
win! She wasn't sure if I could go
all out."
Added Schneebeck, "We did
have t o make adjustments in our
games to make it work. I had to
play backhand side, while Karen
played forehand- it's usually op-
posite."
Abbott had some other
thoughts. "Debbie (Horton) and
I both tried our best t o play real
hard. State was much different
from the regular season. It was
much tougher. Also, all those
people watching -it's much dif-
ferent!"
Crilley, for her part, felt that
Abbot and Horton did extremely
well, taking third at state.
"They, as freshmen, showed a
lot of poise and maturity, and
handled themselves really well.
They beat many senior teams,"
she praised.
A champion, then, is more
than talent I t is a mental atti-
tude. But more importantly, it is
a sum of many "little thingsn-
things that make up a person, and

Staff aftends 'best' in-service day
by David Stradling
Indian Hill teachers and ad-
ministrators attended an in-service
workshop this past 1-riday, Octo-
ber 28. Each staff member chose
t o partake in two of the four ses-
sions offered.
The basis for teacher work-
shops is to introduce or expand
understanding of recent progress
in the science of education.
One of the four sessions offer-
ed was presented by Bob Monhol-
len, from Monroe, Michigan. This
session, entitled "Make it and

management and student motiva-
tion, and was directed toward the

The marching band will per-

The Marching Braves will get
up bright and early in order to be
able to perform at Otterbein Col-
lege in Westerville, northwest of
Columbus, at 11:30 a.m. The
contest, sponsored by the Ohio
Music Educators Association
(OMEA), will not give trophies;
ratings only, from 1 (Superior) to

Barbara A. Vitale, an Educa-
tional Program Specialist in Palm

noted that education is geared

it is the right brained people who
seem revolutionary.

associate dean of the College of

The band achieved its greatest
victory in many years by winning
the @and championship at the
Glen Este Band Invitational on
Saturday, October 29. IH was
first of 29 bands competing in
five classes. IH marched in the
top class, receiving fnst-place
trophies for both the band and
the flag corps.

"Testing in Schools" was the
title of the presentation made by
Dr. Richard Coop, a professor in
the School of Education at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. He discussed the
pros and cons of testing in
schools.
A third session,which was can-
celled, was to deal with the recent
presidential commission report, A
Nation a t Risk, and the miscon-
ceptions and challenges that this
report brings up. Although this
presentation did not occur, the
other sessions did follow with the
marching in more than one con-
test this year, or Division 11, or
novice division, for those bands
entering only one contest. The
novice class, in which IH marched
and won last year, was further
divided into large bands and small
bands. Division I was subdivided
into classes A, B, and C, also
based on size. All bands were
scored on the same scale, with a
winner chosen from each category
and the band with the highest
score overall given the enormous
grand championship trophy.

The majority of the feedback
given by teachers on the work-
shop was positive. Mr. Tony
Bmeneman noted, "There were
more favorable comments for this
workshop than for workshops in
the past." Most teachers used
"best" as an adjective to describe
the in-service day, but some
found fault in the topics chosen.
The vast majority of the com-
ments sounded much like this ex-
ample: "After 23 years of in-ser-
vice workshops, we finally had
one from which I felt real benefit
because these people knew what
they were talking about, and what
they were talking about made

Amelia, Sycamore, and Western
Hills. IH was the only band in its
class to receive a Superior rating,
with 361 out of 400 possible
points, one over the minimum for
Superior. Moeller had 350, and
the others were considerably far-
t her back.
Each band was judged by four
judges, each of whom gave a score
o u t of 100 in his category. These
categories included two for music,
one for marching, and one for
general effect. IH received scores
of 94.5 for marching, 93 and 85.5
for music, and 88 for general ef-
fect; all of these were the highest
in the class. The flag corps' win-
ning score of 78 was not added t o
the band total.
Strider showed the magnitude
of the accomplishment, pointing
o u t that "that was only our sec-
ond competition of the year, and
this is a very young band. Some

contest." Despite the band's two
con test appearances, Strider
added that he doesn't know what
t o expect at state.
Because of the contest tomor-
row, the band will march in street
clothes and the new band parkas

After tomorrow, the band will

Baftered Braves to end season tonight vs. Broncos
by Kevin Walzer
The football Braves will close
out a dismal season tonight, as
they take a 1-8 mark to Shawnee
Field to face Western Brown at
8:OO.
Junior quarterback Mike
Wentz feels that for the Braves to
win, they will have to "put every-
thing together."
"It's not going to be an easy
game at all," he said. "They're a
good team. But if we can get
points on the board, and hang
tough defensively, we have a
chance."
IH dropped its fifth straight
game last Friday. They were easi-
ly handled by the Deer Park Wild-
cats, 33-14.
IZ1 rolled to an early 14-8 lead
in the first half as they scored
both in the air and on the ground.
Deer Park recovered an IH fumble
and ran it 7 2 yards for the open-
ing touchdown, giving them a 7-0
lead. But the Braves came back,
driving down to the Wildcat four-
yard line. Wentz hooked up with
senior receiver Dan Kremchek in
the end zone for the touchdown.
Wentz and Kremchek also con-
verted the two-point try, giving
IH an 8-7 lead.
Later in the half, senior run-
ning back Evon Kelly broke loose
and carried the ball 6 0 yards into

"Oh, boy. Two answers come

West. "One is confidence. The

"Physical preparation is im-

Cindy Crilley. "A player should
be physically competent in all

Braves' lead to 14-7. The extra-

By halftime, Deer Park had

They scored three more times in
the second half, on runs of 58,
60, and 8 yards, to notch the
33-14 win.
The loss ended the Braves'

Wehmann retires as hockey coach
by Anna Maria Batsakes
Atter her 100th victory, Miss
Carol Wehmann retired from her
career as coach of the field hock-
ey Squaws.
"1 felt it was time to make a
change," she said. "I've decided
to pursue my career as an athletic
director and teacher. Concentrat-
ing on my job as athletic director
leaves little time for coaching."
Wehmann has held the posi-
tion as Ill athletic director for
four years. "When 1 was asked to
be athletic director," she said, "I
didn't realize how time-consunl-
ing it would be. Right now 1
'can't give the girls enough of my
time to coach. I can't give 100%
of myself to the team."
After coaching for eleven
years, Wehmann's overall record
stands at 100 wins, 30 losses, and
10 ties. "I'm very happy with my
overall record," she commented.
"I've coached several good
teams."
Wehmann's coaching career
has been filled with many
memorable experiences that she
feels will last her a lifetime, one
of the most memorable being the
1980-81 and 1981-82 seasons
when the Squaws went to the
state semifinals.
CC Braves slosh to thirteenth at Princeton

The boys7 cross country
team ended its season with a
sloppy thirteenth-place finish
at sectionals on Saturday, Oc-

the only girl runner, was also
the only IH runner to qualify

Neu finished seventy-sixth

said. "Madeira has one of the
finest coaches in the city. Realiz-
ing that my team's skills and that
my coaching abilities were good
enough to beat Madeira and their
coach made me incredibly
happy."
But to Wehmann, the most
memorable experiences she has
had are the relationships she's
formed with girls over the years.
"To me," she said, "the girls who
play field hockey are some of the
best friends I've ever had. The re-
lationships I've formed as a coach
and as a friend have been wonder-
ful. I've grown as a person from
working with the Squaws."
Wehmann stresses that she is
just retiring as coach, not resign-

teacher. "I'll stiU be around," she
said. "And I'll be keeping an eye

student opinion
wells questions need for
by Winston R Wells
I have never been a staunch
supporter of President Reagan's
foreign policy decisions, but dur-
ing his entire administration never
have 1 been as outraged as I am
concerning his decision to invade
the island nation of Grenada.
Over the last week Reagan has
revealed his motives for the inva-
sion to the public, and despite
their outward strengths, these
motives are extremely weak.
Firstly, his major argument was
that the invasion was needed to
insure the safety of the hundreds
of American students studying at
St. George's Medical Center in
Grenada. I think that this is his
strongest argument, and I really
have no serious objections to it.
Reagan saw the disastrous politi-
cal consequences of the Iranian
crisis on President Carter and he
realized that a hostage type situa-
tion would likewise hurt him. His
actions were fine, if this was in-
deed his only concern. In addi-
tion to this political rationale, I
think that the President should
indeed show concern for Ameri-
can citizens abroad. But this
should have been accomplished
by means of a much smaller and
quicker show of force; the size of
the problem did not justify his
decision for a full invasion, one
whose size is the greatest of any
invasion since the Vietnam War.
A second justification for his
use of force was that other Carib-
bean nations called upon the U.S.
to help provide a "collective de-
fense" against possible danger
from Grenada. I find this to be
very weak for two reasons. First-
ly, I still am not sure if the un-

Fifteen students from around the world visit

The annual AFS day took
place here at the high school
Wednesday, November 1. Fifteen
These AFS students, representing 12 countries, visited IH this week.

Sadly, incentives are needed for food drive -
Thanksgiving is almost upon
us. For most of us Thanksgiving
is a time of plenty. Many people,
however, will not have the privi-
lege of enjoying a full stomach,
much less a fine Thanksgiving
dinner. Most students in this
school never come into contact
with such people, so it's no
wonder that the student body is
largely ignorant of the poverty
which can be found outside of
isolated Indian Hill. Nevertheless,
we should all be concerned.
AFS students living in the Cincin-
nati area visited the high school
and gave presentations and slide
shows during the Activity Period
Student Government feels that
Indian Hill students should play a
role in relieving the suffering of
the poor. Between November
14 and 18, the Student Gov-
ernment Service Committee will
be holding the fall canned food
drive. The proceeds of this drive
will be donated to the Free Store
in the Over-the-Rhine district of
our city.
In the past, both the Student
Government and teaching faculty
have provided incentives for stu-
and also during foreign language
and history classes.
The AFS students present for
AFS day were: Ingeborg Lich-

dents to bring in canned foods.
This practice seemed to detract
meaning from the food drive.
Students became more concerned
with winning either a batch of
donuts or a few points from their
teacher than with the real purpose
of the food drive. Unfortunately,
when Student Government took
away these incentives during the
spring food drive last Year,
practically no goods were donated
by the student body. As of yet

Besides visiting the High
School, the AFSers also spent the
night with host families in Indian
Hill. One of the host students,

was great meeting AFS students
from all over the world!" AFSer

mented that "it was a great day;

ceed than to go back to the 01d

Mama Laichas keeps kleenex handy
by Kitsa Tassian
"Every pocket of everything I
own has old kleenex it it." No
doubt about it, this statement
could only have been said by a
mother. Although most of us
know her as a math or computer
teacher, Mrs. Elizabeth Laichas is
just that mother.
Having taught since she was in
college at Miami University as a
graduate assistant, and since 1978
here at IH, Laichas finds that in
the two-ring circus of being a
teacher and being a wife and
mother, she definitely has the
"best of both worlds."
She started as a substitute in
1978, but when offered a full
time position, she made it clear
that she wanted to be home to
look after her son. She was then
offered a "tailor-made job which I
couldn't refuse.'' Laichas now
teaches math and computer
courses only for the morning
classes and then goes home to
spend her afternoons with the
complete line of little Laichases:
Josh, seven, Sarah, three and a
half, and Samantha, almost two.
"Teaching is a really great job
for a mother." She chuckles,"you
get to practice your mothering on
other people's kids." In fact,
when she's not explaining the in-
tricacies of calculus to groups of
bewildered juniors and seniors,
she's busy with the intricacies of
teaching a kindergarten Sunday
School class, which is a challenge
all its own.

CHAD, from p- 8
baby powder o n his bicycie
seat, his saddle sores im-
proved tremendously.
When school resumes,
Chad puts his bike away and
becomes an active part of t h e
student body and communi-
ty. The many sides of Chad's
personality are revealed in his
various activities. Peer Coun-
seling is one certain organiza-
tion that has m a d e a n impact
o n Chad's way of thinking.
"Through Peer Counseling
you see t h e h u m a n side of a
teacher," h e explains, "and
you learn t o be a better lis-
tener and caring person."
Aside from Peer Counsel-
ing, Chad also participates-as
a L e g e n d photographer, the
aforementioned Chamber
Choir drummer, and a male
cheerleader for football and
basketball games. He enter-
tains the IH crowds Friday
nights with his inspiring cheer
of "Go Bananas!" and
performs with the Pep Band
as well.
I n fact, Chad is notorious
for his ability t o make people
laugh. This is a trait acquired
over many years of practice.
He began a t an early age by
remaining of small stature
while his friends grew around
him. Chad made the most of
his situation and entkrtained
people with his many unusual
antics. He has since quieted
his hecklers b y displaying his
the 1982-1983 L e g e n d . Al-
though Chad is no longer
smaller than his friends, h e
still keeps people laughing
with his many mischievuus
capers in school.
Outside o f school, Chad is
an active member of the Indi-
an Hill Church, serving as t h e
assistant leader of the Y o u t h
Advisory Committee, and
representing t h e y o u t h in t h e
church as an elected member
of the church's ruling b o d y ,
the Vestry-Session. Through
the church, he has given his
time t o help rehabilitate a-
partments in Over-the-Rhine
and frequently joined t h e
Open Group in various y o u t h
functions.
In the future, Chad plans
t o attend either Hope Col-
lege, University of Vermont,
o r Depauw and enrolling in a
liberal arts program. His
career interests are presently
undecided.
In his words of wisdom t o
incoming freshmen, Chad
provides a tongue-in-cheek
summation of his high school
experience. He advises,
"Make sure y o u start growing
before you get t o high school,
or else b e prepared t o g e t
whaled on." Ironically
enough, Chad did most of his
growing during high school,
n o t only through physical
growth, b u t growth in charac-
ter, and h e has c o m e t o b e
Indian Hill's o n e of a kind.

accomplishment, his ultimate
ambition has n o t y e t been

F o r Chad, marching band
has become m o r e than simply
a chore; it has become a
pastime which he enjoys
enthusiastically. As an inte-
gral part of t h e snare d r u m

12. The Peer Counseling re-
treat was well attended and
very worthwhile.
13. Publications-- I contend
there is no finer high
school newspaper or year-
book than our Chieftain
and Legend.
We tend to take many of these
achievements for granted, when,
in fact, they are the result of
dedication, talent, and hard work.
We should all be proud of our
Indian Hill students and staff.
Congratulations to all of them.
As we begin the second quar-
ter, I ask each of you to concen-
trate on you academic progress,
do your homework, participate in
class activities, and ask questions
if you are uncertain of s o m e
thing. You are Indian Hill High
School and I expect you to give
your very best to your academic
work with no excuses, alibis, or
cop-outs. I expect you t o give
yourself the time necessary to as-
sure that you can reach your
capability. School has been and
always will be for learning. T o
that end, I have asked the staff t o

disc review
The Doors r
by Bob Tuttle
The last time I checked, Jim
Morrison, "The King of Orgasmic
Rock," was dead. Naturally,
when I heard some new material
by the Doors, I was more than a
little surprised. After the song,
the radio announcer said that the
piece was a selection from the
Door's new album of unreleased
live material, Alive She Cried.
Being a long-time disciple of Jim
Morrison and the Doors, I headed
off to the record store, to keep
my collection up to date. The al-
bum did not disappoint me.
I n the 1960's, the Doors were
about as controversial as any band
ever got. This was mainly due to
their wild stage show. The com-
bination of Morrison's morbid,
erotic lyrics and gestures tended
to get the band into trouble, but
it also made for several energy-
packed, mesmerizing shows. It is
this magic that Alive She Cried
attempts to capture.
The album opens with the
band's version of "Gloria," a
standard song of the sixties writ-
ten by Van Morrison, the legend-
ary Irish R & B singer. The play-
ing on this track is done tightly
and with precision. Although
Jim's vocal performance lacks the
intensity of Van Morrison's origi-
nal, his lyrics are much more in-
teresting and imaginative. In ad-
dition, Jim's lyrics get a great deal
more suggestive than the original,
and that is the reason why this
cut was not released earlier. All

in all, a great version of a great
song.
The next song, "Light My
Fire" is wonderful. It is long and
rambling, but clean. It sounds a
great deal like the original, until
the extended solo in which Ray
Manzarek performs a brilliant
organ solo. Also, Robbie Krieger
effectively captures an eastern,
sitar-ish sound on his guitar.
Morrison, too, has a solo, en-
titled, "The Graveyard Poem."
Unfortunately, this is another of
his typically sick, sophomoric
utterings: "A girl got drunk and
balled the dead/And I gave em-
pty serpents to my head." More
than the other tracks, this song
captures the feeling of a concert.
The last song on this side is
"You Make Me Real." This is an
upbeat, hard little rocker. It
lacks the typical improvisation of
the Doors, but succeeds, regard-
less.
Side two opens with "Texas
Radio and the Big Beat." This is
probably the worst track on the
album as it is merely a poem set
to a bass line. Even so, it manages
to be more eerie, chilling and
hypnotic than the studio version,
which was cut two years later.

next song, is oddly coupled with

The following track is an old
blues standard written by Willie
Dixon. This song, "Little Red
Rooster," was obligatory material
for blues-oriented groups such
as the Stones and the Animals.
Morrison's voice is ideal for this
genre of music. He packs all the
emotion that he is capable of
into this number. Joining the
band for this song is John Sebas-
tion, who wails well on his harp.
Also, Krieger performs a brilliant
"Howlin' Wolf' influenced slide
guitar solo. With these combined
talents, the song works out well.
The album closes with "Moon-

a faster-than-usual beat. Again,
Kreiger provides beautiful bottle-
neck guitar work. This is distin-

extended ending. In this, Morri-

The problem with this is that all

It was this gimmick that gave the

in the rock scene led directly to

movie review
CopPola'S 'Rumble Fish ' captures essence of art
. . by Barb Neu
Once in a great while, a movie
comes along that can truly be
classified as art. Oddly enough,
Francis Ford Coppola's name is
associated with several of the
most artistic movies around.
Apocalypse N O W , The Black
Stallion, and now Rumble Fish
are some of the best examples of
ingenious movie making there is.
When art direction, cinema-
tography, acting, and plot are
taken into consideration, Rumble
Fish is most definitely a true
work of art.
Essentially, it is the story of a
pugnacious teen-age boy (Matt
Dillon) who is seeking t o find an
identity through gang fighting.
Dillon's acting is truly unique in
that he is able to play an
adolescent, while still retaining
dignity. He is able t o capture the
wild abandon and paradoxical
pain of a street-wise youth like no
one else can.
Unfortunately, Dillon finds
himself bleeding after almost
every fight. At the beginning of
the movie, in fact, he is in such a
rumble that his brother comes to
the rescue.
"The Motorcycle Boy," his
long-lost brother is played by
Mickey Rourke (of Diner).

Sagacious Geier once again ofters advice to seniors on voting
by Hugh Geier
Election day is almost upon
us. Yesterday, I watched in dis-
may as the "Superfriends Cartoon
Hour" was interrupted by the
campaign commercial of a local
judge. "The nerve of him," I
thought. "How can his campaign
commercial take precedence over
the Superfriends? I could care
less whether he wins his petty
election or not."
Sitting through the commer-
cial I was further angered by the
fact that the commercial didn't
really tell me anything about the
candidate besides a few generali-
zations. Unfortunately, almost all
campaign commercials and ads for
and against state issues make
generalizations that do more t o
confuse than to convince the
voter. It is, therefore, very di-
ficult for the voter to make an
intelligent voting decision when
polls.
CHIEFTAIN
Rourke is the hero of the neigh-
borhood, but also of Dillon, who
seeks to follow his brother's foot-
steps in every way.
What Dillon fails to see is that
the Motorcycle Boy is a half-deaf,
colorblind, emotionally unstable
man with no purpose in life.
Needless to say, he is an
extremely tragic character. He
attempts to convince Dillon that
street fighting is no way to find
an identity.
The Motorcycle Boy tells Dil-
lon, "If people are going to follow
you, you have to lead them
somewhere." But Dillon won't
listen. He worships the Motorcy-
cle Boy so much that being like
him is the ultimate goal. Even
when the Motorcycle Boy is ob-
viously losing his mind, Dillon
tries to make excuses for his
bizarre behavior.
The Motorcycle Boy goes so
far as to take his brother to a pet
shop and show him some Siamese
fighting fish. He shows Dillon
how the fish will bang their heads
against the side of the aquarium
when a mirror is held in their
direction.
But Dillon can't understand
the similarity between himself
and the fish. The intensely emo-
tional and symbolic conclusion of

cinematography, but necessary t o

Rourke plays a very sedate, yet
troubled man. The other g a g
fighters are equally capable and
add much realistic flavor to the
movie. One weakness in this
category is Dillon's girlfriend.
She is your typical stereotyped,
devious, sleazy, little parochial
school wench. One minute she's
telling Dillon to get lost, and the
next she's saying, "I love you."
Dillon had just as much trouble
figuring her out as I did.
On a good note, the music is
composed and performed by
Stewart Copeland. Need I say
more? Unfortunately, the
"theme song" isn't played until
the movie is over. I found that
everyone except me had missed it
as they walked out of the theater.
What they didn't realize was that
the theme of the movie was
revealed in Copeland's compo-
sition.
Rumble Fish is art, pure and
simple. The only problem the
viewer may face is the desire to
spend four more dollars to see it
again. The full meaning of the
movie can't really soak in after
one viewing. Movie connoisseurs
won't hesitate t o spend eight or
ten dollars, however, after they
experience the eloquent art of
Rumble Fish.
ing election. Nonetheless, it is the
duty of every senior to vote. Just
follow the system for voting out-
lined below and the whole process
will seem simple.
Use a mathematical system t o
vote for state issues. Vote "for"
every even issue; "against" any
odd issue. There is an exhausting
list of candidates running for the
offices of judge. Vote for any
candidate who's last name begins
with the letters x, y, z.
There are nine city council of-
fices available for the taking.
Don't vote for any of the candi-
dates on the ballot. Simply write
down the following nine candi-
dates on a separate sheet of paper
and turn it in personally: Frog,
Jerry Garcia, Tim Leary, John
C oyne, Larry Flynt (his presiden-
tial campaign is doomed but I feel
h e would suit Cincinnati's con-
servative tastes well), The Kwik
brothers, Dennis Kucinich, David
Lee Roth, and General Austin.

What they didn't realize was that
the theme of the movie was
revealed in Copeland's compo-
sition.
Rumble Fish is art, pure and
simple. The only problem the
viewer may face is the desire to
spend four more dollars to see it
again. The full meaning of the
movie can't really soak in after
one viewing. Movie connoisseurs
won't hesitate t o spend eight or
ten dollars, however, after they
experience the eloquent art of

duty of every senior to vote. Just
follow the system for voting out-
lined below and the whole process
will seem simple.
Use a mathematical system t o
vote for state issues. Vote "for"
every even issue; "against" any
odd issue. There is an exhausting
list of candidates running for the
offices of judge. Vote for any
candidate who's last name begins
with the letters x, y, z.
There are nine city council of-
fices available for the taking.
Don't vote for any of the candi-
dates on the ballot. Simply write
down the following nine candi-
dates on a separate sheet of paper
and turn it in personally: Frog,
Jerry Garcia, Tim Leary, John
C oyne, Larry Flynt (his presiden-
tial campaign is doomed but I feel
h e would suit Cincinnati's con-
servative tastes well), The Kwik
brothers, Dennis Kucinich, David
Lee Roth, and General Austin.

12. The Peer Counseling re-
treat was well attended and
very worthwhile.
13. Publications-- I contend
there is no finer high
school newspaper or year-
book than our Chieftain

We tend to take many of these
achievements for granted, when,
in fact, they are the result of
dedication, talent, and hard work.
We should all be proud of our
Indian Hill students and staff.
Congratulations to all of them.
As we begin the second quar-
ter, I ask each of you to concen-
trate on you academic progress,
do your homework, participate in
class activities, and ask questions
if you are uncertain of s o m e
thing. You are Indian Hill High
School and I expect you to give
your very best to your academic
work with no excuses, alibis, or
cop-outs. I expect you t o give
yourself the time necessary to as-
sure that you can reach your
capability. School has been and
always will be for learning. T o
that end, I have asked the staff t o

Sadly, incentives are needed for food drive -
Thanksgiving is almost upon
us. For most of us Thanksgiving
is a time of plenty. Many people,
however, will not have the privi-
lege of enjoying a full stomach,
much less a fine Thanksgiving
dinner. Most students in this
school never come into contact
with such people, so it's no
wonder that the student body is
largely ignorant of the poverty
which can be found outside of
isolated Indian Hill. Nevertheless,
we should all be concerned.
AFS students living in the Cincin-
nati area visited the high school
and gave presentations and slide
shows during the Activity Period
Student Government feels that
Indian Hill students should play a
role in relieving the suffering of
the poor. Between November
14 and 18, the Student Gov-
ernment Service Committee will
be holding the fall canned food
drive. The proceeds of this drive
will be donated to the Free Store
in the Over-the-Rhine district of
our city.
In the past, both the Student
Government and teaching faculty
have provided incentives for stu-
and also during foreign language
and history classes.

This practice seemed to detract
meaning from the food drive.
Students became more concerned
with winning either a batch of
donuts or a few points from their
teacher than with the real purpose
of the food drive. Unfortunately,
when Student Government took
away these incentives during the
spring food drive last Year,
practically no goods were donated
by the student body. As of yet

Mama Laichas keeps kleenex handy
by Kitsa Tassian
"Every pocket of everything I
own has old kleenex it it." No
doubt about it, this statement
could only have been said by a
mother. Although most of us
know her as a math or computer
teacher, Mrs. Elizabeth Laichas is
just that mother.
Having taught since she was in
college at Miami University as a
graduate assistant, and since 1978
here at IH, Laichas finds that in
the two-ring circus of being a
teacher and being a wife and
mother, she definitely has the
"best of both worlds."
She started as a substitute in
1978, but when offered a full
time position, she made it clear
that she wanted to be home to
look after her son. She was then
offered a "tailor-made job which I
couldn't refuse.'' Laichas now
teaches math and computer
courses only for the morning
classes and then goes home to
spend her afternoons with the
complete line of little Laichases:
Josh, seven, Sarah, three and a
half, and Samantha, almost two.
"Teaching is a really great job
for a mother." She chuckles,"you
get to practice your mothering on
other people's kids." In fact,
when she's not explaining the in-
tricacies of calculus to groups of
bewildered juniors and seniors,
she's busy with the intricacies of
teaching a kindergarten Sunday

all its own.

CHAD, from p- 8
baby powder o n his bicycie
seat, his saddle sores im-
proved tremendously.
When school resumes,
Chad puts his bike away and
becomes an active part of t h e
student body and communi-
ty. The many sides of Chad's
personality are revealed in his
various activities. Peer Coun-
seling is one certain organiza-
tion that has m a d e a n impact
o n Chad's way of thinking.
"Through Peer Counseling
you see t h e h u m a n side of a
teacher," h e explains, "and
you learn t o be a better lis-
tener and caring person."
Aside from Peer Counsel-
ing, Chad also participates-as
a L e g e n d photographer, the
aforementioned Chamber
Choir drummer, and a male
cheerleader for football and
basketball games. He enter-
tains the IH crowds Friday
nights with his inspiring cheer
of "Go Bananas!" and
performs with the Pep Band
as well.
I n fact, Chad is notorious
for his ability t o make people
laugh. This is a trait acquired
over many years of practice.
He began a t an early age by
remaining of small stature
while his friends grew around
him. Chad made the most of
his situation and entkrtained
people with his many unusual
antics. He has since quieted
his hecklers b y displaying his
the 1982-1983 L e g e n d . Al-
though Chad is no longer
smaller than his friends, h e
still keeps people laughing
with his many mischievuus
capers in school.
Outside o f school, Chad is
an active member of the Indi-
an Hill Church, serving as t h e
assistant leader of the Y o u t h
Advisory Committee, and
representing t h e y o u t h in t h e
church as an elected member
of the church's ruling b o d y ,
the Vestry-Session. Through
the church, he has given his
time t o help rehabilitate a-
partments in Over-the-Rhine
and frequently joined t h e
Open Group in various y o u t h
functions.
In the future, Chad plans
t o attend either Hope Col-
lege, University of Vermont,
o r Depauw and enrolling in a
liberal arts program. His
career interests are presently
undecided.
In his words of wisdom t o
incoming freshmen, Chad
provides a tongue-in-cheek
summation of his high school
experience. He advises,
"Make sure y o u start growing
before you get t o high school,
or else b e prepared t o g e t
whaled on." Ironically
enough, Chad did most of his
growing during high school,
n o t only through physical
growth, b u t growth in charac-
ter, and h e has c o m e t o b e

Wehmann retires as hockey coach
by Anna Maria Batsakes
Atter her 100th victory, Miss
Carol Wehmann retired from her
career as coach of the field hock-
ey Squaws.
"1 felt it was time to make a
change," she said. "I've decided
to pursue my career as an athletic
director and teacher. Concentrat-
ing on my job as athletic director
leaves little time for coaching."
Wehmann has held the posi-
tion as Ill athletic director for
four years. "When 1 was asked to
be athletic director," she said, "I
didn't realize how time-consunl-
ing it would be. Right now 1
'can't give the girls enough of my
time to coach. I can't give 100%
of myself to the team."
After coaching for eleven
years, Wehmann's overall record
stands at 100 wins, 30 losses, and
10 ties. "I'm very happy with my
overall record," she commented.
"I've coached several good
teams."
Wehmann's coaching career
has been filled with many
memorable experiences that she
feels will last her a lifetime, one
of the most memorable being the
1980-81 and 1981-82 seasons
when the Squaws went to the
state semifinals.
CC Braves slosh to thirteenth at Princeton

Neu finished seventy-sixth
out of about 1 3 0 runners in

The boys sloshed through

student opinion
wells questions need for
by Winston R Wells
I have never been a staunch
supporter of President Reagan's
foreign policy decisions, but dur-
ing his entire administration never
have 1 been as outraged as I am
concerning his decision to invade
the island nation of Grenada.
Over the last week Reagan has
revealed his motives for the inva-
sion to the public, and despite
their outward strengths, these
motives are extremely weak.
Firstly, his major argument was
that the invasion was needed to
insure the safety of the hundreds
of American students studying at
St. George's Medical Center in
Grenada. I think that this is his
strongest argument, and I really
have no serious objections to it.
Reagan saw the disastrous politi-
cal consequences of the Iranian
crisis on President Carter and he
realized that a hostage type situa-
tion would likewise hurt him. His
actions were fine, if this was in-
deed his only concern. In addi-
tion to this political rationale, I
think that the President should
indeed show concern for Ameri-
can citizens abroad. But this
should have been accomplished
by means of a much smaller and
quicker show of force; the size of
the problem did not justify his
decision for a full invasion, one
whose size is the greatest of any
invasion since the Vietnam War.
A second justification for his
use of force was that other Carib-
bean nations called upon the U.S.
to help provide a "collective de-
fense" against possible danger
from Grenada. I find this to be
very weak for two reasons. First-
ly, I still am not sure if the un-

Baftered Braves to end season tonight vs. Broncos
by Kevin Walzer
The football Braves will close
out a dismal season tonight, as
they take a 1-8 mark to Shawnee
Field to face Western Brown at
8:OO.
Junior quarterback Mike
Wentz feels that for the Braves to
win, they will have to "put every-
thing together."
"It's not going to be an easy
game at all," he said. "They're a
good team. But if we can get
points on the board, and hang
tough defensively, we have a
chance."
IH dropped its fifth straight
game last Friday. They were easi-
ly handled by the Deer Park Wild-
cats, 33-14.
IZ1 rolled to an early 14-8 lead
in the first half as they scored
both in the air and on the ground.
Deer Park recovered an IH fumble
and ran it 7 2 yards for the open-
ing touchdown, giving them a 7-0
lead. But the Braves came back,
driving down to the Wildcat four-
yard line. Wentz hooked up with
senior receiver Dan Kremchek in
the end zone for the touchdown.
Wentz and Kremchek also con-
verted the two-point try, giving
IH an 8-7 lead.
Later in the half, senior run-
ning back Evon Kelly broke loose
and carried the ball 6 0 yards into

Senior Elizabeth Artzt sets the ball in recent Squaws' action.
Despite their losses the
Squaws did show an improvement
on their form and play. "As far
as I'm concerned," said Cooke,
"they're the best team I've ever
coached. When considering their
form and the improvement
they've shown as individual play-
ers and as a team, they've been
one of the most successful teams
I've coached."
Concentration. "Don't dwell

Confidence. Rowe: "We're

A strong mental attitude is a
key to being a champion, but
other factors are inherent.
rhese are physical preparation,
tradition, and, according to some
players, camraderie.
As Crilley said before, a player
must be physically competent.
"She must be able to react to any
situation in court," she reiterated.
"She can hit any shot, get to any
ball, keep it in play. The founda-
tion of this is drilling practice."
But beyond basic physical
skills, Crilley added, tradition
plays a large role .in success.
Success in the past breeds success
in the present, which breeds
success in the future.
"Tradition is a big part of it,"

ments. Players want to Live up to

Seniors Lisa Holzman and

Artzt received an honorable
mention.
"I'm going to miss my s e
niors,"said Cooke."They made up
a major part of our team. Next
year is going to be a building stage

more good players."
tournament pressure. The thing is,
many of our girls had big sisters
who competed for IH in the past
(such as freshman Aubrey Abbot-
her sister Marnie graduated last
year after playing for the
Squaws). These big sisters went
to state in the past, and the little
sisters were up in Columbus with
them. So the little sisters were
exposed to these tournaments in
the past, and the pressure is noth-
ing new to them. That's a real
advantage."
Several of the players them-
selves cited different reasons.
Senior Karen McCurdy alluded to
the friendship shared by her and
senior Lynne Schneebeck,
Enquirer Tennis Player of the
Year, as helpful in smoothing out
the transition from their individu-
al singles games to their combined
game.
"It felt funny for awhile,
playing with Lynne," she said.
"We played together sophomore
year, but we've both improved
since then. Part of the awkward-
.-
ness disappearing was because
-
we're good friends and a close
team ."
McCurdy also noted that "we
had somewhat different attitudes.

ANSWERS
We both had injuries at the time
(McCurdy an ankle injury,
Schneebeck a pulled stomach
muscle). We didn't think we'd get
t o the finals at state. But we did.
I had to reassure Lynne that I
could play, and we were there to
win! She wasn't sure if I could go
all out."
Added Schneebeck, "We did
have t o make adjustments in our
games to make it work. I had to
play backhand side, while Karen
played forehand- it's usually op-
posite."
Abbott had some other
thoughts. "Debbie (Horton) and
I both tried our best t o play real
hard. State was much different
from the regular season. It was
much tougher. Also, all those
people watching -it's much dif-
ferent!"
Crilley, for her part, felt that
Abbot and Horton did extremely
well, taking third at state.
"They, as freshmen, showed a
lot of poise and maturity, and
handled themselves really well.
They beat many senior teams,"
she praised.
A champion, then, is more

noted that education is geared

it is the right brained people who

"Testing in Schools" was the
title of the presentation made by
Dr. Richard Coop, a professor in
the School of Education at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. He discussed the
pros and cons of testing in
schools.
A third session,which was can-
celled, was to deal with the recent
presidential commission report, A
Nation a t Risk, and the miscon-
ceptions and challenges that this
report brings up. Although this
presentation did not occur, the
other sessions did follow with the
marching in more than one con-
test this year, or Division 11, or
novice division, for those bands
entering only one contest. The
novice class, in which IH marched
and won last year, was further
divided into large bands and small
bands. Division I was subdivided
into classes A, B, and C, also
based on size. All bands were
scored on the same scale, with a
winner chosen from each category
and the band with the highest
score overall given the enormous
grand championship trophy.

ideas of excellence in education.
The majority of the feedback
given by teachers on the work-
shop was positive. Mr. Tony
Bmeneman noted, "There were
more favorable comments for this
workshop than for workshops in
the past." Most teachers used
"best" as an adjective to describe
the in-service day, but some
found fault in the topics chosen.
The vast majority of the com-
ments sounded much like this ex-
ample: "After 23 years of in-ser-
vice workshops, we finally had
one from which I felt real benefit
because these people knew what
they were talking about, and what
they were talking about made
sense."
Amelia, Sycamore, and Western
Hills. IH was the only band in its
class to receive a Superior rating,
with 361 out of 400 possible
points, one over the minimum for
Superior. Moeller had 350, and
the others were considerably far-
t her back.
Each band was judged by four
judges, each of whom gave a score
o u t of 100 in his category. These
categories included two for music,
one for marching, and one for
general effect. IH received scores
of 94.5 for marching, 93 and 85.5
for music, and 88 for general ef-
fect; all of these were the highest
in the class. The flag corps' win-
ning score of 78 was not added t o
the band total.
Strider showed the magnitude
of the accomplishment, pointing
o u t that "that was only our sec-
ond competition of the year, and
this is a very young band. Some
and were playing in their fourth
contest." Despite the band's two
con test appearances, Strider
added that he doesn't know what
t o expect at state.
Because of the contest tomor-
row, the band will march in street
clothes and the new band parkas

After tomorrow, the band will
move inside to begin the concert
pare for the OMEA district con-
test, as well as several concerts.
