cussing IH's sports, I'd like to
take a look at one of the hottest
rivalries in professional sports to-
day.
I'm talking about professional
women's tennis, Chris Evert-
Lloyd and Martina Navratilova.
Tennis has not seen a more in-
tensely-fought duel since the
Borg-MrVnroe matches of a few
years ago. Although these two
women have both been playing
each other for years, it is Navrati-
lova's two-year domination of the
women's tour and particularly
Evert-Lloyd that merits attention.
Navratilova has been, for the
last two years, virtually unbeat
able. Since 1982 she has lost
exactly fm times, with three of
those losses coming in 1982. She
was defeated only once last year.
Sixteen of seventeen tournaments
3he won, including Wimbledon,
the U.S. Open, and the Australian
Open. Her domination of the
tour has been complete and over-
whelming.
On the other hand, Lloyd has
other @eople, including Chris
could only look at.
Keeping this in mind, Lloyd's
relatively flat groundstrokes are
easy prey for Navratilova. Chris
has to time her shots perfectly to
pass Navratilova, and that's just
not possible to do every time out.
But also, Navratilova is becom-

The JV tennis Braves claimed
their second victory of the season
against Country Day, 372, on Ap-
ril 24, in the midst of a soggy,
rain-shortened season. The win
raised Indian Hill's record to 2-2.
Head coach Gene Brindb
commented, "The weather has
really been detrimental to us this
year. Once the weather gets bet-
ter, I think we will be an excellent
tennis team."
This clearly is the case, for in
the latest match against Country

most cases this is true.
In actuality, I think the only defeated Hana conbtently in her

Sophomore Matt Mueller,
playing third singles, also beat his
Oak Hills rival.

lack of practice and experience,
the Braves did not fare ru well..

The JV Braves have gained

upcoming matches. The strong
point thus far is the strong rec-
ords of the doubles teams. If the
singles players are able to develop
similar consistency, IH has no
where to go but up.

Healthworks '84, the first stu-
dent health fair in Hamilton
County was, according to the pro-
moters, a great success in the IH
gym April
-- - 24 and 25. Seniors and
juniors attended the fair on Tues-
day, while freshmen and sopho-
mores visited the fair on Wednes-
day.
The health fair consisted of
two parts, those being screening
and learning centers. Consent
forms were needed in order to
participate in the screening.
Approximately 400 students
took part in the screening which
consisted of anemia, blood pres-
sure, height and weight, and
vision testing. Private summary
and referral stations with register-
ed nurses were provided at the
end of the testing.
"I was really impressed with
the student participation," said
senior Healthworks coordinator Sponsors from various agencies

Mr. Rich Long, associated
with the Department of Educa-
tion, toured- and evaluated Indian
Hill High School April 23 and 24.
Long was chosen by the Depart-
ment of Education because of his
background and reputation in the
field of education.
Twenty observers wcre sclcct-
ed by the departments; each visit-
ed ten schools apiece around the
nation. The 200 scl~oolsare di-
vided into two major categories,
high schools and middle schools,
then into geographical partitions.
Long visited ten high schools in
Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and
West Virginia.
While at IH Long concerned
himself with tlirce major groups
of people. First, and most im-
portant, were the students. Long
qucstioned some students in-
formally in the halls as to "what
they like about this school, and
what they don't like." He also in-
terviewed 20 students chosen by
the administration as a group.
Parents were also -questioned
so that Long could get a feel for
the standing of the school within
the community. Long and the
parents discussed school and
community interaction with the
teachers and administration.
Thc third group interviewed
consisted of the administration
and the teachers. Once again the
questions focused upon the posi-
tive and negative aspects of the
school.
Long's two days of observa-
tion and interviews will be
summed up in a 15 page evalua-
tion. His paper will determine if
Indian Hill is indeed an "excel-
lent" high school.
If Indian Hill is named a s b n e
of the finalists by the department,
the high school will be in a more
favorable position to receive vari-
ous forms of state aid in the form
of grants and awards. Regardless,
the outcome should only have a
positive effect on the district and
the students. - teered t o help with testing on

were needed.
Commented sophomore Davis
Griffin, "I liked the fair a lot-
there could have been more
booths but i t was enjoyable."
The evaluation sheets also
showed the growing student con-
cern with mental health.
"Stress," said Gellert, "is a major
concern of many students. The
popularity of the mental health
booth determined the need for a
program at school that deals with
stress."
The coordinators estimated
that close t o 40 students volun-
both days. These students were
trained by professionals the night
before the fair. According to
Brockmann and Wayne, the stu-
dents took roughly two months
t o prepare the fair.

The softball Squaws have

five -games.. the Squaws have won
four, three of which were league.
This 3-0 EHL mark puts the
Squaws in first place.
The Squaws notched their

The Squaws had to fight for

to a 6-0 lead in the first inning,
but by the sixth the Tigers had
tied at 6-6. After each team scor-

Drama Club selects farcical mystery
by Lance Luckey
The play reading committee of
the Drama Club has selected a
play entitled "The Butler Did It"
for the spring drama production.
A cast of five men and five wom-
en will perform the three act play
on May 4 and 5.
As one might surmise from the
title, the play is a mystery, but in
humorous, farcical vein. The
characters, for example, are
spoofs on just about every literary
detective imaginable. Miss Maple,
based on Agatha Christie's Miss
Marple, is the central character of
the play, and is portrayed by AFS
exchange student Ingeborg Lich-
tenberg.
To publicize her new chain of
detective bookstores, Marple in-

The Model United Nations

Saturday, April 14 at St. Xavier
High School. The awards provid-

for the club.
Indian Hill represented five
countries at the mock council;
those being the U.S.S.R., U.K.,
Zaire, Jordan, and Togo. Thir-
teen members of thc club attend-
ed the Security Council.
Senior Trip Edwards and
freshman Stratton Moraites won a
best delegation award for their
presentation of the U.S.S.K.,
while sophonlore Brian Mcyers

and David Miller gained the same
recognition as delegates from the

come as his literary alter-ego; that
is, as the detective character of his

several "incidents" to test the
true deductive prowess of her
guests. But unknown to Miss
Maple, the guests have also decid-
ed to liven up the weekend by
planning various incidents of their
own.
Although the fun and games
seem to end when a guest is mur-

roles are freshmen Ted Fry and

Two other characters who are
not detectives, but are neverthe-
less very much a part o f the
charade, are Haversham , Miss
Maple's maid, played by senior
Jenny Kegg, and Rita, Miss
Maple's social secretary, portray-
ed by junior Elizabeth Converse.
Haversham keeps the guests quite
on edge after they learn of her
police record dealing with "some
unpleasantness with a hatchet."
Quite simply, "The Butler Did
It" is diverse enough for every-
one and should prove t o be a
climactic ending to a successful
year for the drama department.
Assisting director Miss Mary Lou
Berwanger have been IH alumni
Beth Robinette and Joni Stubbs.
Taking advantage of Rick Car-
lyle's sudden death in t h e play
Lance Luckey has also been serv-
ing as student director f o r the
play.
Stated Miss Berwanger, "This
play promises to be light and en-
tertaining, much needed relief
from the per istently gloomy
spring weather. Should the
weather turn pleasant, t h e play
will prove all the more enjoy-
able." Tickets will be $1.50 for
students and $2.50 for adults. On
Friday and Saturday, everyone
will find out if "The Butler Did
It."
uIation concerning the problem in
Naimiba took up the afternoon
session. The meeting was presid-
ed over by Mr. Jim Jurgens, club
advisor for St. Xavier.
The GCMSC was the final
competition of the year for the
club. Apart from this meeting the
club aIso attended the University
of Dayton Invitational and the
North American Invitational in
Washington, D.C. The club won a
best delegation award at U.D. in
November.
In other club news, elections
for next year's officers were held
Thursday, April 26. Guiding
club next year will be co-presi-
dents Brian Myers and Hugh Gei-

be secretary and freshman James

The club plans to hold open

The concert band will partici-

They earned the right to advance
to the state level after a Superior

The three selections that will
be performed at Anderson are the
"Florentiner March" by Julius

Alfred Reed, and "Festive Over-
ture" by Dmitri Shostakovich.
One difference between the

coming Anderson performance IS
the inclusion of the Alfred Reed
piece "Queenston Overture" in-
stead of Rex Mitchell's "Festive
Ode."
Band director Mr. Steven
Strider states that Alfred Reed is
no stranger to the concert band.
"We played another one of his
pieces, 'The Hounds of Spring',
last year." In comparison to Rex
Mitchell's "Festive Ode,"
'"Queenston Overture' is far more
substantial. Musically, there's
much more to it."
In contrast to last year's con-
test, Anderson will be taking the
place of Vandalia High School
near Dayton. Basically, this
change was made for convenience.
"Last year the contest took
two days and it was very crowd-
ed. This year, there ,is not as
much travelling, but the level of
competition is the same. We will
be the last band of the day, fol-
lowing some good bands. That
can work to our advantage or dis-
advantage."
Hopefully, the concert band
will achieve a Superior rating May

'Dear Maraie' Wells leads matchmaker's life
\2
by Anna Batsakes
"This isn't going to be a very
long interview," said Mrs. Margie
Wells mistakenly. "I'm a very
boring person."
How anybody as busy as Mrs.
Wells could conclude that she is
boring is beyond reality. Being a
wife, a mother of three, a secre-
tary, and the co-ordinator of con-
tinuing education, Wells has to be
one of the most interesting
women at IH.
Wells went to high school in
South Carolina where she picked
up her characteristic southern ac-
cent. She continued her educa-
tion at the University of Ken-
tucky, and started her career as a
secretary at Liberty Mutual In-
surance Company. There she met
her husband, Dr. William Wells,
who was then a co-op student
with the company.
"We met on December 5," re-
called Wells, "and were engaged
by the first of February. We've
been rnarried for 27 years now,
and have three sons to show for
it."
Her three sons, Ward, Win, and
Dickie, have all had the pleasure
of seeing their mother at home
and at school each day. Ward,
now graduated, attended IH as
CHFEFTAIN
senior Win and freshman Dickie
do now. "I love having them at
school with me," said Wells.
"They don't. Being a mother as
well as working with my kids has
had its definite drawbacks, but
it's also helped." Adds Win,
"Yea, its great, especially when I
need money."
IH has had Wells for a secre-
tary for the past seven years, and
the director of continuing educa-
tion for four. During the school
day she works in the athletic de-
partment with Athletic Director
~Wab~rprrzdsdcrllesthen~n~d.
Miss Carol Wehmann.
Down in the athletic depart-
ment Wells is known as "Dear
Margie. " Student office aides
pour into her office throughout
the day to ask for help and ad-
vice.
"I've had the pleasure of set-
ting up prom dates, relationships,
as well as settling romantic tiffs
throughout the years," said Wells,
a second mother to her office

And Keith S pinned Eric on the floor.

Till someone gave a mighty shout.

I was o'run by screaming herd.
I beat them back, they're now at bay
Lord, let me live to see the day!
Drawing by Beth Bercaw
April 27,1984
Wells also professes an undy-
ing love for cats. Her two cats,
Fred and Brillo, are the center of
her attention at home and fre-
quently she is jokingly criticized
by friends and family for loving
her cats more than her kids.
"Fred's my favorite," said Wells.
"Of course I love Brillo too, but
I'm angry at her right now. We
think she ate Dickie's pet gerbil,
Jessica. "
Besides cats, Wells enjoys soft,
sweet music for dancing, Sunday
mornings, whispering, holding
hands in movie theaters and
"Chieftain for breakfast." Among
her dislikes are dirty socks, being
alone too long, 7:35 a.m., and
"the Bomb"; that being her well-
known rundown green Malibu.
This is the last year Wells will
be working at IH. On July 1,she
and her family are planning to
move to Peoria, Illinois, where she
hopes to find another job. "Peoria
is a small town," she said, "but
its got everything you want and
need."
Hopefully, Mrs. Wells will find
everything she wants in Peoria,
because many students will miss
her familiar face as they wonder
past the door of her commons
building office.

with the release of their first al-
bum Points On The Curve, estab-
lish themselves as front-runners in
this new field of music.
One of the first groups to ar-
rive' on the scene was Duran Du-
ran. On their outstanding Rio al-
bum, Duran Duran introduced the
driving synthesizer beat to the
American public with tremendous
success.
Many critics, however, voice
the opinion that the repetitious
drum beat is boring, and so is the
music. Rio definitely is not bor-
ing, but Duran Duran's last al-
bum, Seven and the Ragged Tiger,
proves the critics' point. The
a
music must have some complexity
and change, not just a thump
accompanied by a sobbing
voice.
,
In Wang Chung's music, there
is definitely the techno-pop in-
fluence. All three band members
(Jack Hues, Nick Feldman, and
Darren Costin) play the synthe-
sizer.
Musically and lyrically, Wang
Chung is always interesting.
Though some of the songs seem
overdrawn, the music is always
changing, building, and leading to
something.
Most of all, the songs are
danceable. Standing still is nearly
impossible during some of the
songs. Even more difficult is
trying to write a review while
listening to the album.

CHIEFTAIN
The first of the ten songs on
Points On The Curve is the single
release "Dance Hall Days." This
song has been getting a good deal
of airplay, but it is not nearly
Wang Chung's best effort. The lyr-
ics are fairly catchy, but Jack
Hues has a heavy accent. There-
fore much of the meaning is lost,
but on the whole it is a nice open-
ing song.
The group next launches into
a little keyboard action as a pre-
lude to "Wait," the following
track. The three man group really
shows their potential on this driv-
ing song. Every note of this song
shows a great deal of care in pro-
duction.
Producers Chris Hughes and
Ross Cullum deserve a good deal
of credit. The recording is very
clean (Abbey Road Studios), and
oftentimes the little back-up
instruments and sounds make the
album a delight to listen to.

Jenny Latimer - I work on Le-
gend.
Noel Rigsbee - I try to reassemble
fresh road kills.
James Amold - Sit down and

"True Love" exhibits the
group's ability to switch mood
almost instantly. The song begins
with Jack Hues grunting hatingly,
"True love is the answer to every-
thing. " Almost immediately,
though, the music changes and
one finds himself listening to a
techno-love song. Throughout the
song, the transition from love to
hate is made in a contrasting way.
Some synthesizer experimen-
tation introduces the next song,
'The Waves." This track is simply
an extension of the "True Love"
theme, but is still totally different
musically. The synthesizers and
back-up sounds make "The
Waves" entrancing.
Voice synthesizers are used
quite effectively in "Look At Me
Now," a song that would have to
be categorized as techno-funk.
Hues' passionate singing saves this
song from being mediocre be-
cause "Look At Me Now," like

most otner modern dance music,

quickly.
Opening the second side is per-
haps the best song on the album,
"Don't Let Go." The lyrics are
very emotional, and Hues' singing
only emphasizes the meaning even
more.
Jack Hues' voice, in general, is
distinctive without being painful.
The actual voice is not outstand-
ing in comparison to someone like
Sting, for example. But the man-
ner in which Hues sings, however,
is exceptionally melodious and
sonorous. One minute he is mum-
bling quietly and the next he is
singing like he has tears in his
eyes. Beautiful (sob, sob, sob. . .)
"Even If You Dream" returns
to the funky bass of "Look At Me
Now," but this time around it is
much better, the lyrics express
the desperate message of the song.
"I wish I was your lover/Even if
you dream of himti wish I was
your brother/Even if you dream
of him."
The music of "Even If You
Dream," though lacking much of
the complicated synthesizer back-
up, is always changing. Feldman
and Costin provide excellent
music for Hues to melodize to.
The ballad ''Devoted Friends"
is the only song left on the album
worthy of any notiw. The distant
synthesizer and drums are surpris-
ingly effective on this slow track;
Hues' moaning creates an ex-
tremely somber atmosphere.
Apparently, a techno-pop ballad
is possible.
Wang Chung displays great ver-
satility and promise on their first
album Points On The Curve.
Hopefully, they will not get lost
in the great techno-pop deluge of
today, because Wang Chung is
well worth listening to.

Crazy Lisa will swing until age 770
by Nancy Hopple
Senior Lisa Wachs was hard-
pressed when asked to reduce her
personality to five adjectives.
Some people have called her
"energetic," "unpredictable,"
"indescribable." But one word
which Lisa did come up with to
describe herself is "crazy," sight-
ing an incident where she recently
pinned a friend up against a house
with her car in the rain. Need we
say more?
"I like to have fun, outside of
school," Lisa explains, referring
to her notoriety for craziness.
She also likes the "outdoor life,"
in particular back-packing and
rockclimbing. Two summers ago
Lisa went on a six-week outing
with seven other participants,
spending half the time rock-climb-
ing and canoeing in Canada and
the other half hiking in the Span-
ish Peaks of Montana.
Describing her sojourn in
Spanish Peaks Lisa recalls, "It was
neat being out there with no
watches and no radios....it was
really pretty. On the mountains
there were tons of flowers and at
night if you hiked up higher it
would be snowing.

another hiking trip, Lisa took up

movie review
Douglas
- directs action in 'Stone'
by Anna Batsakes
After directing such films as
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
and The China Syndrome, it is no
great surprise that actor/director
Michael Douglas added another
outstanding movie to his name.
His current hit, Romancing the
Stone, is an adventure parody
with a romantic plot that achieves
the adventurous aura of Raider's
o f the Lost Ark as well as the aura
of a favorite love story.
Kathleen Turner portrays Joan
Wilder, a romance novelist who
must save her sister from kidnap-
pers in Columbia. Wilder has re-
ceived a sealed envelope from her
sister's late husband, and has to
deliver it to the kidnappers as
ransom for her sister. The enve-
lope contains a treasure map, -with
a priceless stone called "El Cara-
zon" (the heart) as the prize.
After flying to Columbia,
Wilder boards the wrong bus and

spaced out." Undoubtedly, these
imaginary characters waged battle
in Tony's fatigued brain during
school.
Although he still occasionally
engages in mock battle, today
Tony focuses in on a wide variety
of more conventional activities.
He is a four year member of
Chamber Choir and has played
piano most of his life. Presently
he is working as the pianist for
the Hyde Park Community
church's production of Godspell.
At his church he teaches Sun-
day school. Once he tried to
teach his kids geometric proofs,
"but they thought it was stupid."
Tony's latest fascination is
with cars. Because he recently in-
curred a $125 debt in activities he
chose not to discuss, he chose to
watch as his brother bought a new
camshaft and intake manifold for
an engine his brother is playing
with.
His newfound intcrcst in red-
necks seems to have been fastened
by his automotive hobby. Tony
claims, "I want to study rednecks;
they really fascinate me." Tony
would like to try "redneck auto-
motive studies" in graduate
school. For his masters thesis he
would like to place a massive 454

Columbian jungles after the bus
crashes. It is in the jungle where
she meets Jack Colson (Douglas),
whom she pays to be her guide,
and it is at this point in the movie
where the lovelhate relationship
between Wilder and Colson, as
well as their quest for the stone,
begins.
Romancing the Stone is an up-
lifting movie that contains an un-
realistic plot with a slightly sappy
love story attached. But the
lack of reality and the sappy
tendencies are what make the
movie good. In a day and age
when many movies are created in
order to leave a lasting impres-

roles perfectly in the film. Turner
portrays an intelligent New York
City writer who is a hopeless ro-

putting in over torqued engines."
Tony notes that "the fastest
way to become an instant redneck
is t o buy a disassembled engine,
put it together in your room and
smash a hole in the wall to get it
out of the house."
Another newfound interest of
Tony's is acting. Although he
played the dramatic roles of
George Washington and David
(of biblical fame) in elementary
school, he makes his high school
acting debut as Peter Flimsey in
the spring drama production.
Next fall Tony will be attcnd-
ing Purdue University which is in-
cidently the alma mater of his
mothcr and father. The techno-
crat in Tony told him to major in
engineering although hc was con-
sidering an education degree.
Gast notes, "Teaching always fas-
cinated me but there's no money
in it so I want to major in en-
gineering."
But what lies beyond Purdue
and the Master's degree in red-
necks? Tony hopes to travel to
Spain someday. He also plans to
"...buy a car someday and abuse
the engine to see how much
horsepower I can get out of it."
Undoubtedly Tony's mind will be

perfect man; Douglas, an Indiana
Jones character with a little
less charisma and luck. Both
Turner and Douglas definitely
add to the film's quality.
Also adding comic relief is
Taxi's Danny Devito as the
bumbling kidnapper tailing Turn-
er and Douglas hoping to steal the
map from them. Devito as the
stumbling gangster, constantly
plagued by bad luck, adds to the
film's lightheartedness.
If you're looking for serious,
thought-provoking entertainment,
Romancing the Stone doesn't
quite fit the bill, but if you're in
the mood for a lighthearted,
funny adventure, this is your
movie.

'Dear Maraie' Wells leads matchmaker's life
\2
by Anna Batsakes
"This isn't going to be a very
long interview," said Mrs. Margie
Wells mistakenly. "I'm a very
boring person."
How anybody as busy as Mrs.
Wells could conclude that she is
boring is beyond reality. Being a
wife, a mother of three, a secre-
tary, and the co-ordinator of con-
tinuing education, Wells has to be
one of the most interesting
women at IH.
Wells went to high school in
South Carolina where she picked
up her characteristic southern ac-
cent. She continued her educa-
tion at the University of Ken-
tucky, and started her career as a
secretary at Liberty Mutual In-
surance Company. There she met
her husband, Dr. William Wells,
who was then a co-op student
with the company.
"We met on December 5," re-
called Wells, "and were engaged
by the first of February. We've
been rnarried for 27 years now,
and have three sons to show for
it."
Her three sons, Ward, Win, and
Dickie, have all had the pleasure
of seeing their mother at home
and at school each day. Ward,
now graduated, attended IH as
CHFEFTAIN
senior Win and freshman Dickie
do now. "I love having them at
school with me," said Wells.
"They don't. Being a mother as
well as working with my kids has
had its definite drawbacks, but
it's also helped." Adds Win,
"Yea, its great, especially when I
need money."
IH has had Wells for a secre-
tary for the past seven years, and
the director of continuing educa-
tion for four. During the school
day she works in the athletic de-
partment with Athletic Director
~Wab~rprrzdsdcrllesthen~n~d.
Miss Carol Wehmann.
Down in the athletic depart-
ment Wells is known as "Dear
Margie. " Student office aides
pour into her office throughout
the day to ask for help and ad-
vice.
"I've had the pleasure of set-
ting up prom dates, relationships,
as well as settling romantic tiffs
throughout the years," said Wells,
a second mother to her office
aides whose pictures are pinned to
the bulletin board behind her
desk.

A Camp Counselor's Evening Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep
With fourteen children at m y feet.
Armed with flashlites mega bright
They'll fight to keep awake all night.
The air is rent with primal screams.
The toilet's clogged with someone S jeans.
Jerry smashed the bathroom door,
And Keith S pinned Eric on the floor.
They were in bed with lights put out
Till someone gave a mighty shout.
"Pillow fight!" was all I heard when
I was o'run by screaming herd.
I beat them back, they're now at bay
Lord, let me live to see the day!

April 27,1984
Wells also professes an undy-
ing love for cats. Her two cats,
Fred and Brillo, are the center of
her attention at home and fre-
quently she is jokingly criticized
by friends and family for loving
her cats more than her kids.
"Fred's my favorite," said Wells.
"Of course I love Brillo too, but
I'm angry at her right now. We
think she ate Dickie's pet gerbil,
Jessica. "
Besides cats, Wells enjoys soft,
sweet music for dancing, Sunday
mornings, whispering, holding
hands in movie theaters and
"Chieftain for breakfast." Among
her dislikes are dirty socks, being
alone too long, 7:35 a.m., and
"the Bomb"; that being her well-
known rundown green Malibu.
This is the last year Wells will
be working at IH. On July 1,she
and her family are planning to
move to Peoria, Illinois, where she
hopes to find another job. "Peoria
is a small town," she said, "but
its got everything you want and
need."
Hopefully, Mrs. Wells will find
everything she wants in Peoria,
because many students will miss
her familiar face as they wonder
past the door of her commons
building office.

disc review
Versatile W a n g Chung utilizes modern sound
by Kenneth N. Jones
In the past few years, Ameri-
can ears have been bombarded
with a new sound from England.
With heavy synthesizers and elec-
tric drums, many have termed the
music techno-pop. Wang Chung,
with the release of their first al-
bum Points On The Curve, estab-
lish themselves as front-runners in
this new field of music.
One of the first groups to ar-
rive' on the scene was Duran Du-
ran. On their outstanding Rio al-
bum, Duran Duran introduced the
driving synthesizer beat to the
American public with tremendous
success.
Many critics, however, voice
the opinion that the repetitious
drum beat is boring, and so is the
music. Rio definitely is not bor-
ing, but Duran Duran's last al-
bum, Seven and the Ragged Tiger,
proves the critics' point. The
a
music must have some complexity
and change, not just a thump
accompanied by a sobbing
voice.
,
In Wang Chung's music, there
is definitely the techno-pop in-
fluence. All three band members
(Jack Hues, Nick Feldman, and
Darren Costin) play the synthe-
sizer.
Musically and lyrically, Wang
Chung is always interesting.
Though some of the songs seem
overdrawn, the music is always
changing, building, and leading to
something.
Most of all, the songs are
danceable. Standing still is nearly
impossible during some of the
songs. Even more difficult is
trying to write a review while
listening to the album.

CHIEFTAIN
The first of the ten songs on
Points On The Curve is the single
release "Dance Hall Days." This
song has been getting a good deal
of airplay, but it is not nearly
Wang Chung's best effort. The lyr-
ics are fairly catchy, but Jack
Hues has a heavy accent. There-
fore much of the meaning is lost,
but on the whole it is a nice open-
ing song.
The group next launches into
a little keyboard action as a pre-
lude to "Wait," the following
track. The three man group really
shows their potential on this driv-
ing song. Every note of this song
shows a great deal of care in pro-
duction.
Producers Chris Hughes and
Ross Cullum deserve a good deal
of credit. The recording is very
clean (Abbey Road Studios), and
oftentimes the little back-up
instruments and sounds make the
album a delight to listen to.
Answers compiled by Ken Jones
and Win Wells
Nick Stergiopolous - I read Curt
Reising's fatality reports in Para-
chu fists.
Dan Meyer - I drive in my car
really fast with the sunroof out
while blasting the Police.
Jenny Latimer - I work on Le-
gend.
Noel Rigsbee - I try to reassemble
fresh road kills.
James Amold - Sit down and
watch T.V. At school, 1 Sit down

"True Love" exhibits the
group's ability to switch mood
almost instantly. The song begins
with Jack Hues grunting hatingly,
"True love is the answer to every-
thing. " Almost immediately,
though, the music changes and
one finds himself listening to a
techno-love song. Throughout the
song, the transition from love to
hate is made in a contrasting way.
Some synthesizer experimen-
tation introduces the next song,
'The Waves." This track is simply
an extension of the "True Love"
theme, but is still totally different
musically. The synthesizers and
back-up sounds make "The
Waves" entrancing.
Voice synthesizers are used
quite effectively in "Look At Me
Now," a song that would have to
be categorized as techno-funk.
Hues' passionate singing saves this
song from being mediocre be-
cause "Look At Me Now," like

most otner modern dance music,
tends to become boring too
quickly.
Opening the second side is per-
haps the best song on the album,
"Don't Let Go." The lyrics are
very emotional, and Hues' singing
only emphasizes the meaning even
more.
Jack Hues' voice, in general, is
distinctive without being painful.
The actual voice is not outstand-
ing in comparison to someone like
Sting, for example. But the man-
ner in which Hues sings, however,
is exceptionally melodious and
sonorous. One minute he is mum-
bling quietly and the next he is
singing like he has tears in his
eyes. Beautiful (sob, sob, sob. . .)
"Even If You Dream" returns
to the funky bass of "Look At Me
Now," but this time around it is
much better, the lyrics express
the desperate message of the song.
"I wish I was your lover/Even if
you dream of himti wish I was
your brother/Even if you dream
of him."
The music of "Even If You
Dream," though lacking much of
the complicated synthesizer back-
up, is always changing. Feldman
and Costin provide excellent
music for Hues to melodize to.
The ballad ''Devoted Friends"
is the only song left on the album
worthy of any notiw. The distant
synthesizer and drums are surpris-
ingly effective on this slow track;
Hues' moaning creates an ex-
tremely somber atmosphere.
Apparently, a techno-pop ballad
is possible.
Wang Chung displays great ver-
satility and promise on their first
album Points On The Curve.
Hopefully, they will not get lost
in the great techno-pop deluge of
today, because Wang Chung is
well worth listening to.

Band seekrng success rn competrtron and concert
by Kenneth N. Jones
The concert band will partici-
pate in state competition at An-
derson High School on May 5.
They earned the right to advance
to the state level after a Superior
rating at a regional competition at
Colerain High School.
The three selections that will
be performed at Anderson are the
"Florentiner March" by Julius
Fucik, "Queenston Overture" by
Alfred Reed, and "Festive Over-
ture" by Dmitri Shostakovich.
One difference between the
Colerain ~ e r f o r ~ n a n cand

SC
letter from
- Nefters looking forward to Sycamore, St. Xavier
coming Anderson performance IS
the inclusion of the Alfred Reed
piece "Queenston Overture" in-
stead of Rex Mitchell's "Festive
Ode."
Band director Mr. Steven
Strider states that Alfred Reed is
no stranger to the concert band.
"We played another one of his
pieces, 'The Hounds of Spring',
last year." In comparison to Rex
Mitchell's "Festive Ode,"
'"Queenston Overture' is far more
substantial. Musically, there's
much more to it."
In contrast to last year's con-
test, Anderson will be taking the
place of Vandalia High School
near Dayton. Basically, this
change was made for convenience.
"Last year the contest took
two days and it was very crowd-
ed. This year, there ,is not as
much travelling, but the level of
competition is the same. We will
be the last band of the day, fol-
lowing some good bands. That
can work to our advantage or dis-
advantage."
Hopefully, the concert band
will achieve a Superior rating May

Drama Club selects farcical mystery
by Lance Luckey
The play reading committee of
the Drama Club has selected a
play entitled "The Butler Did It"
for the spring drama production.
A cast of five men and five wom-
en will perform the three act play
on May 4 and 5.
As one might surmise from the
title, the play is a mystery, but in
humorous, farcical vein. The
characters, for example, are
spoofs on just about every literary
detective imaginable. Miss Maple,
based on Agatha Christie's Miss
Marple, is the central character of
the play, and is portrayed by AFS
exchange student Ingeborg Lich-
tenberg.
To publicize her new chain of
detective bookstores, Marple in-

Indian Hill represented five
countries at the mock council;
those being the U.S.S.R., U.K.,
Zaire, Jordan, and Togo. Thir-

Senior Trip Edwards and

Maple's social secretary, portray-
ed by junior Elizabeth Converse.
Haversham keeps the guests quite
on edge after they learn of her
police record dealing with "some

Quite simply, "The Butler Did

Stated Miss Berwanger, "This
play promises to be light and en-
tertaining, much needed relief
from the per istently gloomy
spring weather. Should the
weather turn pleasant, t h e play
will prove all the more enjoy-
able." Tickets will be $1.50 for

cussing IH's sports, I'd like to
take a look at one of the hottest
rivalries in professional sports to-
day.
I'm talking about professional
women's tennis, Chris Evert-
Lloyd and Martina Navratilova.
Tennis has not seen a more in-
tensely-fought duel since the
Borg-MrVnroe matches of a few
years ago. Although these two
women have both been playing
each other for years, it is Navrati-
lova's two-year domination of the
women's tour and particularly
Evert-Lloyd that merits attention.
Navratilova has been, for the
last two years, virtually unbeat
able. Since 1982 she has lost
exactly fm times, with three of
those losses coming in 1982. She
was defeated only once last year.
Sixteen of seventeen tournaments
3he won, including Wimbledon,
the U.S. Open, and the Australian
Open. Her domination of the
tour has been complete and over-
whelming.
On the other hand, Lloyd has
other @eople, including Chris
could only look at.
Keeping this in mind, Lloyd's
relatively flat groundstrokes are
easy prey for Navratilova. Chris
has to time her shots perfectly to
pass Navratilova, and that's just
not possible to do every time out.
But also, Navratilova is becom-

their second victory of the season
against Country Day, 372, on Ap-

rain-shortened season. The win
raised Indian Hill's record to 2-2.
Head coach Gene Brindb
commented, "The weather has
really been detrimental to us this
year. Once the weather gets bet-
ter, I think we will be an excellent
tennis team."
This clearly is the case, for in

singles players are able to develop
similar consistency, IH has no

Healthworks '84, the first stu-
dent health fair in Hamilton
County was, according to the pro-
moters, a great success in the IH
gym April
-- - 24 and 25. Seniors and
juniors attended the fair on Tues-
day, while freshmen and sopho-
mores visited the fair on Wednes-
day.
The health fair consisted of
two parts, those being screening
and learning centers. Consent
forms were needed in order to
participate in the screening.
Approximately 400 students
took part in the screening which
consisted of anemia, blood pres-
sure, height and weight, and
vision testing. Private summary
and referral stations with register-
ed nurses were provided at the
end of the testing.
"I was really impressed with
the student participation," said

"The learning centers turned

booths were interactive, so the
students got involved instead of
just picking up pamphlets and
walking away ."
Since this is the first year a
student co-ordinated healthfair
has been held at IH, it was es-

Mr. Rich Long, associated
with the Department of Educa-
tion, toured- and evaluated Indian
Hill High School April 23 and 24.
Long was chosen by the Depart-
ment of Education because of his
background and reputation in the
field of education.
Twenty observers wcre sclcct-
ed by the departments; each visit-
ed ten schools apiece around the
nation. The 200 scl~oolsare di-
vided into two major categories,
high schools and middle schools,
then into geographical partitions.
Long visited ten high schools in
Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and
West Virginia.
While at IH Long concerned
himself with tlirce major groups
of people. First, and most im-
portant, were the students. Long
qucstioned some students in-
formally in the halls as to "what
they like about this school, and
what they don't like." He also in-
terviewed 20 students chosen by
the administration as a group.
Parents were also -questioned
so that Long could get a feel for
the standing of the school within
the community. Long and the
parents discussed school and
community interaction with the
teachers and administration.
Thc third group interviewed
consisted of the administration
and the teachers. Once again the
questions focused upon the posi-
tive and negative aspects of the
school.
Long's two days of observa-
tion and interviews will be
summed up in a 15 page evalua-
tion. His paper will determine if
Indian Hill is indeed an "excel-
lent" high school.
If Indian Hill is named a s b n e
of the finalists by the department,
the high school will be in a more
favorable position to receive vari-
ous forms of state aid in the form
of grants and awards. Regardless,
the outcome should only have a
positive effect on the district and
the students. - teered t o help with testing on

were needed.
Commented sophomore Davis
Griffin, "I liked the fair a lot-
there could have been more
booths but i t was enjoyable."
The evaluation sheets also
showed the growing student con-
cern with mental health.
"Stress," said Gellert, "is a major
concern of many students. The
popularity of the mental health
booth determined the need for a
program at school that deals with
stress."
The coordinators estimated
that close t o 40 students volun-
both days. These students were
trained by professionals the night
before the fair. According to
Brockmann and Wayne, the stu-
dents took roughly two months
t o prepare the fair.
