Defense keys strong performance against
by Chris Kempczins~i
As the basketball Braves reach
the halfway point of their season,
a 4-6 record is hardly something
to gloat over. Critical losses to
Mariemont and Madeira foreshad-
owed prospective failures for the
team during the rest of their
schedule. However, that has not
been the case; the team has at-
tempted what could be called a
slight turnaround.
In the team's most recent
matchup against league rival
CAPE, who is ranked fifth in
the state, the team showed
flashes of brilliance despite los-
ing 54-48. For the first time all
season they played with consis-
tency throughout the entire game
and were able to work as a unit.
An airtight defense shut down
the Crusaders' two leading scor-
ers to a mere two points each.
The scoring for the Braves was
spread around quite well with
Erich Metzger leading the team
with points- Said junior

With the Bengals' season long
over, the Cincinnati football
fan no longer has to sit through
the lowly Bungles losing to teams
like the Oilers, but can instead
watch truly one of the great
teams of the eighties, the Chica-
go Bears.
Unless you've lived in a shell
for the past few months, you at
one time or another should have
heard of their near perfect season,
or the Refrigerator, and the
hysteria which his mammoth pres-
ence unleashes in the Windy City.
Oh sure, when the Bengals
went to the Super Bowl in 1981
there was a tremendous amount
of hoopla-- remember the Mighty

played so well is because we out-
coached them. Hammer had gone
to two of their games by himself
and the team went to watch them
against North College Hill which
really helped." And if it was any
consolation for the team, the Cru-
sader coach admitted at the end
of the game that, "you guys (the
Braves) should have won ."

matches, was against Deer Park.
who was totally dominated by
Indian Hill. Though at a distinct
edge, the Braves used this game as
a possible springboard for future
successes, and the 74-54 score
certainly provided a much needed
boost for the team.
The boys' next game is against
Reading at home tonight. Senior
guard Andy Tucker commented
that despite Reading's winless
league record, "We can't get too
overconfident. I think we should
win-we have a good chance-but
if you get o v e r ~ n f i d e n t ,things
can happen. I think we can win,
like Chicago. For the city has a-
dopted each player as if he were
the boy next door, and hailed him
as a hero. Particularly William
Perry, a 300 lb. rookie from
Clemson who was drafted as a de-
fensive lineman, but in mid-season
was converted to a running back.
Chicago's fans were delighted to
see Perry's fat plunging over the
goal line and flattening anything
in his way. But is he really all
that good? One of his own
coaches called him a "wasted
draft pick" but I must disagree.
Football is meant to be enter-
taining and if the fan gets so
excited about one player, then
he's worth it.
Unfortunately, that simple
assumption had been largely ig-
nored in the past. With the glitz-

On December 17, they downed

Mains was the leading scorer and
rebounder. Mains has come
back to play strong after her inj-

The leading scorer was sophomore

night, with a vote by them and
a review and vote by the Board

The announcement of the
settlement came on January 6
to all the district's faculty.
A statement signed by Federal
Mediator Earl Leonhardt, said
that "tentative agreement has
been reached ...on a collective
bargaining agreement for the
certificated teaching staff."
Leonhardt said that the agree-
ment would "be recommended by

movie review
Modern family life challenged in 'Life time '
by Robert Seal
Twice in a Lifetime is certain-
ly a film to be seen more than
once by thoughtful holiday au-
diences. It is sure to be lavish-
ly lauded when the Oscars are
announced, for it is a movie that
demands careful, contemplative
viewing from its audiences.
The ideas about American
society to be found in Life-
time are the cornerstones of
its critical as well as popular
success. Once again, a film
executive of lofty position has
deemed that the intrinsic values
holding the American family
together should be examined.
Sound dull? Well, in Lifetime
a host of talented actors are
brought together to bring a group
session in societal analysis alive.
The story itself is relatively
simple. Harry MacKenzie (Gene
Hackman), a steel mill worker
living in a working-class suburb
of Seattle, decides to have a little
fling with the new barmaid (Ann-
Margret) at the local pub. How-
ever, he has just turned fifty,
is the "proud papa" of four,
proud grandpapa of two, and
beloved "one o' the boys" of just
about everybody in town, inclu-
ding Kate (Ellen Burstyn), his
wife of thirty years.

GEORGE, from p. 6
der. Upon discovery by George,
the situation became hilarious-
well, you had to be there, hmm,
enough said here.
In the spring, besides being a
bum, George also enjoys track.
Coming from a family that was
made to run distance, George en-
deavors in such events as the mile
run, the 3200 meter relay, and
the high jump. He comments,
"Running track does have its ad-
vantages because it seems that
most good-looking girls run track.
That does help to incite me to
run."
Last season, however, was
somewhat of a disappointment
for him. His season was mined
when he tore a muscle in his leg.
He states, "I would have had a
promising season if it wasn't tor
the torn muscle."
As for his family life, some of
you may remember George's
cousin Holly Richardson, who
CHIEFTAIN
Well, Harry finds that having
a fling isn't as easy as it used to
be. Seemingly, he only wants to
have a little fun on the side. He
tells Kate that his extra-marital
opportunity doesn't matter while
telling Audrey the barmaid that
he loves her. "It's been a long
time since I didn't know what a
day had in store for me," he
admits on one of their daytime
dates; he works nights at the
mill to bring in extra dough.
Harry's once "boring" life then
becomes the focal point of the
film, as his family and the rest
of the town find out about
his "tomcatting."
One is almost led to believe
that Harry could have pulled off
his dual existence if not for his
irate daughter Sunny (Amy Madi-
gan). In one magnificent scene,
she drags her mother and small
daughter into the local pub to
bring Harry home, for he's
right there with Audrey, inno-
cently "having a few drinks."
Madigan's portrayal rips the rose-
colored glasses away from the
viewer with shocking intensity
as she drags the family's burden
onto herself. Soon thereafter,
Harry discards his life of beer,
friends, family, and Seattle Sea-
hawks. But not quite, for he
stayed with the Heynens' as part
of the AFS program. Referred to
as "foreign object" or "illegal
alien" by George, he comments,
"She's not really that bad. I used
to make fun of the music she
listened to. It's funny now be-
cause I listen to some of the same
music now. But then again, I got
her hooked on some of the music
I listen to."
At the current time, George's
father is spending his weeks in
Greenwich, Connecticut because
of a job transfer. The rest of
George's family is waiting for
George to graduate from Indian
Hill before moving to Greenwich
with his father. Until then, his
father returns to Indian Hill every
weekend possible. George com-
ments, "I'm used to it because he
was always gone on business trips
when he did live here. After this
year, however, things will be back
to normal again."
Finally, George would like the
fact to be known that he is a de-
goes downtown to live with
Audrey, explaining to his under-
standably shattered wife that he
wants to (re)live life to the
limit with a woman who, he
stresses, "thinks younger ."
The rest of the film candid-
ly follows the separated Mac-
Kenzie parents as they go their
different ways. Kate eventually
composes herself with the cri-
tical aid of her family, and, in-
cidentally, Harry's best friend
Nick (Brian Dennehy), a co-
worker at the mill.
Harry "carries on" nicely
with Andrey for ten months,
but is bothered by a nagging
feeling of loss; he misses his
kids. A new development, the
impending marriage of his young-
est daughter, Helen (Ally Sheedy)
brings the reality home to Harry.
He will miss his own daughter's

Obviously, the story lost its
simplicity-and its playful inno-
cence. The viewer watches a
typical and distinctly American
family torn apart and then
sewn together again. But not
quite, for Helen's marriage hasn't
worked to bring her father
home. Or has it? The climax
of this monumental film occurs
in the very last scene, after the
wedding, on the steps of the
family church. Wow! That's

In a Chieftain poll of 45
seniors on the new second
semester exam policy, 100% of
those surveyed indicated their
disapproval of the administrative
decision.
The poll, given last week in
two Government classes, show-
ed mixed senior opinions on the
policy otherwise; however, to a
person, the seniors do not want
June exams.
The new policy, outlined in
the December 20, 1985 issue
of Chieftain, states that seniors
will have to take second semester
exams in classes that would norm-
ally have them; English, math,
government, foriegn language,
science, psychology, and busi-
ness. AP courses, because they
have exams in May, will not
terminate i n June exams.
Ths administration, though,
has offered an incentive to
seniors to be exem~ted from
the tests; if a student earns a
"B" or better fourth quarter
in a class that will have an exam,
he or she will not have to take
the test.
Seniors were quite divided
on the exemption policy; whiie
44% $aid they felt the policy
was fair, 37% voiced disagreement
wit@it. 19%were unsure.

One must question, though,
the more recent damage that has
been inflicted on the SSC. Of
late, the area seems to have been
the victim of great carelessness
or even vandalism; writing on the
carpets and wood paneling falling

attributed solely to wear and

be short and sweet: please
exercise greater care in using the

Contrary to what one might
think, Daxre only really became
interested in singing last year,
although he has played the piano
for several years. D a r e says he
was very surprised when he got
the lead role because he didn't
even try out for that part. Now,
though, Darre is very interested in
music, and when asked if he
might pursue a career in music,
answered, "It's a thought rve
dreamed about but really don't

Since Darre did such a great

Smith out1 ines curriculum f a i r
by Alissa Raleigh
Two preliminary events in the
TH course selection process are
coming this month in preparation
for the course selection due
date - February 10.
The program review this year
will be held January 23 at 7:30
P. M. This is an invitation to all
parents to become acquainted
with the range of courses and
available resources that will be
offered in the 1986-1987 school
year.
The number one purpose of
this review is to familiarize par-
ents with the IH curriculum so
that they may better help their
children in selecting courses.
Parents will have the opportunity
to ask administrators, counselors,
and teachers any questions, com-
ment on the academic program,
and give and get advice.
The next day (the 24th of
January) the students themselves
will get their opportunity t o re-
introduce themselves with IH's
offerings at the Curriculum Fair
from 7:35 to 9 A. M. (with shor-
tened classes following).

Vice Principal Mrs. Sharon
Smith stresses, "Students will
want to attend it's the perfect
chance to talk to teachers about
the classes that they are interes-
ted in." Smith further cautions
that "a staff is hired, materials
are ordered, and arrangements are
.
made , . It's imperative that the
students are certain that the clas-
ses they choose are the ones
they'll be satisfied with. We pro-
vide the fair and expect it t o be
taken advantage of. When a
student selects a course he has
made a commitment and we ex-
pect that students will honor it -
we can't have everyone changing
schedules every August."
Mrs. Smith gives some hints
on how to benefit the most.
"Ask what the course requires:
what books, homework, fees and
obligations. Also, this may be
interested in which courses are
conducive to a college career."
Thus students are expected to
conduct a thorough search in
preparing their schedules, which
do require a parental signature,
when they submit them.

Artists unite against apartheid
on 'Sun City' cut
by James Anderson
Benefits abound in record-
ing studios and on stage: Live
Aid, Band-aid, Farm Aid, We
are the World, and now Sun
Cia, the latest benefit album,
from Artists United Against
Apartheid.
Not knowing what to ex-
pect, but figuring that any-
thing with Bono, Jackson
Browne, Bob Dylan, Peter
Gabriel, Bob Geldof, Bruce
Springsteen, Pete Town-
shend, and Peter Wolf couldn't
be too bad and anything with
groups like AFRIKA Bam Baa-
taa, Big Youth, Run DMC,
Scorpio, and Via Afrika couldn't
be too good, I decided to buy
it anyway.
- -
The opening line of the
opening song pretty much sum-
med up the album, "We're rock-
ers and rappers united and
strong." Rappers and rockers
they are, with too much of the
former to suit my taste.
Fortunately, the rockers took
firm control of the first song
entitled "Sun City." This is a
hard rocking pseudo-pop song
using "We are the World" tech-
niques 40 include some thirty
different artists. The song in-
cluded terrific sax work by Clar-
ence Clemons and some great
trumpeting by , the incredible
Miles Davis.
The lyrics are angry with the
U.S. approach to South Africa.
"Our government tells us we are
doing all we can/Constructive
engagement is Ronald Reagan's
planlMeanwhile people are dying
and giving up hope/This quiet
diplomacy ain't nothing but a
joke." This is a great song corn-
bining great protest lyrics, a dri-
ving beat and Davis' trumpet,
The next song, entitled "No
More Apartheid," begins with
CHIEFTAIN
some tribal-like chanting and
keening accompanied by drums
and guitar. Strange. About the
only words you can distinguish
among the controlled chaos is
"No more apartheid:" Strange-
ly, this song is not boring but
fascinating in its use of the voice
as just another instrument, not
attempting to convey many
words (I hope). Guitar
work contributed by Townshend
helps considerably.
"Revolutionary Situation,"
the next song, is the victory of
the funk artists. It is done in
the style of "19" by Paul Hard-
castle, with the song composed
of news recordings of such pro-
minent figures as Botha, Reagan,
and
--- manv African leaders whose
voices I didn't recognize. The
album's credits for the song
describe the song well. It was
compiled and edited, rather than
sung, by Keith LeBlanc and the
New Direction.
The second side of the album
begins with a remix of "Sun City"
-the first song on the record.

r provides 'one on one experience'
by Markno Fernandez
You might ask, "What is so
special about room 218?" No,
it's no+ like the infamous room
101 in Orwell's 1984. Unlike
room 101, torture is prevented,
more specifically the torture of
writing; room 218 houses the
new Indian Hill Writing Ceqter.
One of only three in the nat~on,
the center is a pilot program
aiding students in all types of
writing.
The idea of establishing
writing centers is not new; many
have been in existence
at various colleges, including most
of the Ivy League schools. En-
glish teacher and founder Mrs.
Elizabeth Ackley first encoun-
tered the idea at the National
Council of Teachers of English
Convention (NCTE) in the fall
of 1984. Undoubtedly realizing
the success of the program in
the college level, she enthusias-
tically proceeded to bring the idea
to the middle and high school
level.
After gaining administration
approval, Ackley proceeded to
set up the Center, which com-
menced operation a couple of
weeks into the school year.
The Center not only pro-
vides help in all areas of writing
but gives it to those with all
levels of experiences, in all stages
of the writing process, and
all times of the day. The Writing
Center is staffed by at least two
tutors every period, and Tues-
days and Thursdays after school
as well.

Foot operation doesn 't stymie Kelly's
by Davis Griffin
Christmas break brought most
of us a wide array of gifts. Foot
reconstruction is perhaps Kelly
Mabry's most memorable. Hob-
bling around on crutches and
what she calls "ugly wooden
shoes," however, has not damp-
ened her good cheer.
In fact, the ordeal at Good
Samaritan Hospital had its good
points. "I vaguely remember get-
ting doped up," recalls Kelly,"and
this guy talked to me for a half an
hour about flying to Florida. I
pictured him flapping his arms. It
was weird."
The negative aspects of the
surgery, involving the moving of
tendons, was well, pain. "I re-
member waking up and scream-
ing." The doctors then put Kelly
on pain pills causing her to behave
sillier than normal and sleep con-
tinuously. Perhaps the highlight
of her hospital stay was New
Year's Eve. A few distinguished
members of the senior class sport-
ing a multitude of aluminum cyl-
inders rang in the New Year,
after visiting hours, causing an in-
nocent nurse to "flip out.''

laid back George 'iswhat he is'

Seniors involved in morning
option are more than likely famil-
iar with the antics of George
Heynen. As the final seconds
count down towards tardiness,
George can be seen scurrying
through the high school parking
lot from his nearby home. Half-
asleep, and sporting messed-up,
frozen hair, he can be heard ask-
ing the question, "Are we late?"
That scene is only part of
what exemplifies George's "I
don't give a ----" attitude; an
attitude that is shared by many
seniors. Even at this moment, it's
10:OO at night and George still
has not begun working on an Eng-
lish paper that is due tomorrow.
George claims, "I guess I'll do it
tomorrow morning before school,
well maybe in Chem. Sem., uh,

Well, gee, George, why do
have this type of attitude? Why
are you this way? "I just am," he
replies simply. Perhaps there is
no better explanation for George.

The activity that will suffer
most from the surgery for Kelly
will be downhill skiing. Kelly
uses the sport as an outlet for
surplus energy, but unfortunate-
ly will not be able to ski until the
spring. Prior to surgery, however,
she got some time in on the slopes
of Steamboat.
While on a steep do\ thill
slope some hung over ~kier
ran over ,the backs of Kelly's
skis causing her to slide down
the entire hill and scream hys-
terically in the traditional
Mabry manner. "Luckily some
old man fell on me so I would
stop," chuckled Kelly with a
grin.
During the warm summer
months Kelly projects her good
cheer and silly behavior onto
the patrons of Kings Island as the
Raggedy Ann balloon girl.
Distributing the helium-filled bal-
loons can be a lifting experience.
Despite remarks inquiring if she
is pregnant and why she wears
pajamas to work, Kelly says, "I'm
going back, I loved it."
In school, Kelly mainly in-
volves herself with band and
orange socks, George "is what he
is." He comments on his dress,
"If I'm in a good mood, I dress
like a troll. If I'm in a bad mood,
I dress even wor~c."

48 hours preceeding the game,

George has also participated in
Peer Counseling for the last two
years. He enjoys the entire pro-

doubtedly the high point of the
program for George. "Just stay
up all night in other peoples'
rooms," George comments.
"It's pretty rough missing those

During the last retreat, George
was the unfortunate victim of a

by Alissa Raleigh
Two preliminary events in the
TH course selection process are
coming this month in preparation
for the course selection due
date - February 10.
The program review this year
will be held January 23 at 7:30
P. M. This is an invitation to all
parents to become acquainted
with the range of courses and
available resources that will be
offered in the 1986-1987 school
year.
The number one purpose of
this review is to familiarize par-
ents with the IH curriculum so
that they may better help their
children in selecting courses.
Parents will have the opportunity
to ask administrators, counselors,
and teachers any questions, com-
ment on the academic program,
and give and get advice.
The next day (the 24th of
January) the students themselves
will get their opportunity t o re-
introduce themselves with IH's
offerings at the Curriculum Fair
from 7:35 to 9 A. M. (with shor-
tened classes following).

Vice Principal Mrs. Sharon
Smith stresses, "Students will
want to attend it's the perfect
chance to talk to teachers about
the classes that they are interes-
ted in." Smith further cautions
that "a staff is hired, materials
are ordered, and arrangements are
.
made , . It's imperative that the
students are certain that the clas-
ses they choose are the ones
they'll be satisfied with. We pro-
vide the fair and expect it t o be
taken advantage of. When a
student selects a course he has
made a commitment and we ex-
pect that students will honor it -
we can't have everyone changing
schedules every August."
Mrs. Smith gives some hints
on how to benefit the most.
"Ask what the course requires:
what books, homework, fees and
obligations. Also, this may be
interested in which courses are
conducive to a college career."
Thus students are expected to
conduct a thorough search in
preparing their schedules, which
do require a parental signature,
when they submit them.

disc review
Artists unite against apartheid
on 'Sun City' cut
by James Anderson
Benefits abound in record-
ing studios and on stage: Live
Aid, Band-aid, Farm Aid, We
are the World, and now Sun
Cia, the latest benefit album,
from Artists United Against
Apartheid.
Not knowing what to ex-
pect, but figuring that any-
thing with Bono, Jackson
Browne, Bob Dylan, Peter
Gabriel, Bob Geldof, Bruce
Springsteen, Pete Town-
shend, and Peter Wolf couldn't
be too bad and anything with
groups like AFRIKA Bam Baa-
taa, Big Youth, Run DMC,
Scorpio, and Via Afrika couldn't
be too good, I decided to buy
it anyway.
- -
The opening line of the
opening song pretty much sum-
med up the album, "We're rock-
ers and rappers united and
strong." Rappers and rockers
they are, with too much of the
former to suit my taste.
Fortunately, the rockers took
firm control of the first song
entitled "Sun City." This is a
hard rocking pseudo-pop song
using "We are the World" tech-
niques 40 include some thirty
different artists. The song in-
cluded terrific sax work by Clar-
ence Clemons and some great
trumpeting by , the incredible
Miles Davis.
The lyrics are angry with the
U.S. approach to South Africa.
"Our government tells us we are
doing all we can/Constructive
engagement is Ronald Reagan's
planlMeanwhile people are dying
and giving up hope/This quiet
diplomacy ain't nothing but a
joke." This is a great song corn-
bining great protest lyrics, a dri-
ving beat and Davis' trumpet,
The next song, entitled "No
More Apartheid," begins with
CHIEFTAIN
some tribal-like chanting and
keening accompanied by drums
and guitar. Strange. About the
only words you can distinguish
among the controlled chaos is
"No more apartheid:" Strange-
ly, this song is not boring but
fascinating in its use of the voice
as just another instrument, not
attempting to convey many
words (I hope). Guitar
work contributed by Townshend
helps considerably.
"Revolutionary Situation,"
the next song, is the victory of
the funk artists. It is done in
the style of "19" by Paul Hard-
castle, with the song composed
of news recordings of such pro-
minent figures as Botha, Reagan,
and
--- manv African leaders whose
voices I didn't recognize. The
album's credits for the song
describe the song well. It was
compiled and edited, rather than
sung, by Keith LeBlanc and the
New Direction.
The second side of the album
begins with a remix of "Sun City"
-the first song on the record.

movie review
Modern family life challenged in 'Life time '
by Robert Seal
Twice in a Lifetime is certain-
ly a film to be seen more than
once by thoughtful holiday au-
diences. It is sure to be lavish-
ly lauded when the Oscars are
announced, for it is a movie that
demands careful, contemplative
viewing from its audiences.
The ideas about American
society to be found in Life-
time are the cornerstones of
its critical as well as popular
success. Once again, a film
executive of lofty position has
deemed that the intrinsic values
holding the American family
together should be examined.
Sound dull? Well, in Lifetime
a host of talented actors are
brought together to bring a group
session in societal analysis alive.
The story itself is relatively
simple. Harry MacKenzie (Gene
Hackman), a steel mill worker
living in a working-class suburb
of Seattle, decides to have a little
fling with the new barmaid (Ann-
Margret) at the local pub. How-
ever, he has just turned fifty,
is the "proud papa" of four,
proud grandpapa of two, and
beloved "one o' the boys" of just
about everybody in town, inclu-
ding Kate (Ellen Burstyn), his
wife of thirty years.
G e o r g e contends w i t h 'foreign o b i e c t '
GEORGE, from p. 6
der. Upon discovery by George,
the situation became hilarious-
well, you had to be there, hmm,
enough said here.
In the spring, besides being a
bum, George also enjoys track.
Coming from a family that was
made to run distance, George en-
deavors in such events as the mile
run, the 3200 meter relay, and
the high jump. He comments,
"Running track does have its ad-
vantages because it seems that
most good-looking girls run track.
That does help to incite me to
run."
Last season, however, was
somewhat of a disappointment
for him. His season was mined
when he tore a muscle in his leg.
He states, "I would have had a
promising season if it wasn't tor
the torn muscle."
As for his family life, some of
you may remember George's
cousin Holly Richardson, who
CHIEFTAIN
Well, Harry finds that having
a fling isn't as easy as it used to
be. Seemingly, he only wants to
have a little fun on the side. He
tells Kate that his extra-marital
opportunity doesn't matter while
telling Audrey the barmaid that
he loves her. "It's been a long
time since I didn't know what a
day had in store for me," he
admits on one of their daytime
dates; he works nights at the
mill to bring in extra dough.
Harry's once "boring" life then
becomes the focal point of the
film, as his family and the rest
of the town find out about
his "tomcatting."
One is almost led to believe
that Harry could have pulled off
his dual existence if not for his
irate daughter Sunny (Amy Madi-
gan). In one magnificent scene,
she drags her mother and small
daughter into the local pub to
bring Harry home, for he's
right there with Audrey, inno-
cently "having a few drinks."
Madigan's portrayal rips the rose-
colored glasses away from the
viewer with shocking intensity
as she drags the family's burden
onto herself. Soon thereafter,
Harry discards his life of beer,
friends, family, and Seattle Sea-
hawks. But not quite, for he
stayed with the Heynens' as part
of the AFS program. Referred to
as "foreign object" or "illegal
alien" by George, he comments,
"She's not really that bad. I used
to make fun of the music she
listened to. It's funny now be-
cause I listen to some of the same
music now. But then again, I got
her hooked on some of the music
I listen to."
At the current time, George's
father is spending his weeks in
Greenwich, Connecticut because
of a job transfer. The rest of
George's family is waiting for
George to graduate from Indian
Hill before moving to Greenwich
with his father. Until then, his
father returns to Indian Hill every
weekend possible. George com-
ments, "I'm used to it because he
was always gone on business trips
when he did live here. After this
year, however, things will be back
to normal again."
Finally, George would like the
fact to be known that he is a de-
goes downtown to live with
Audrey, explaining to his under-
standably shattered wife that he
wants to (re)live life to the
limit with a woman who, he
stresses, "thinks younger ."
The rest of the film candid-
ly follows the separated Mac-
Kenzie parents as they go their
different ways. Kate eventually
composes herself with the cri-
tical aid of her family, and, in-
cidentally, Harry's best friend
Nick (Brian Dennehy), a co-
worker at the mill.
Harry "carries on" nicely
with Andrey for ten months,
but is bothered by a nagging
feeling of loss; he misses his
kids. A new development, the
impending marriage of his young-
est daughter, Helen (Ally Sheedy)
brings the reality home to Harry.
He will miss his own daughter's

Helen; we won't make the same

palatable as Harry and fiis family

Obviously, the story lost its
simplicity-and its playful inno-
cence. The viewer watches a
typical and distinctly American
family torn apart and then
sewn together again. But not
quite, for Helen's marriage hasn't
worked to bring her father
home. Or has it? The climax
of this monumental film occurs
in the very last scene, after the
wedding, on the steps of the
family church. Wow! That's

In a Chieftain poll of 45
seniors on the new second
semester exam policy, 100% of
those surveyed indicated their
disapproval of the administrative
decision.
The poll, given last week in
two Government classes, show-
ed mixed senior opinions on the
policy otherwise; however, to a
person, the seniors do not want
June exams.
The new policy, outlined in
the December 20, 1985 issue
of Chieftain, states that seniors
will have to take second semester
exams in classes that would norm-
ally have them; English, math,
government, foriegn language,
science, psychology, and busi-
ness. AP courses, because they
have exams in May, will not
terminate i n June exams.
Ths administration, though,
has offered an incentive to
seniors to be exem~ted from
the tests; if a student earns a
"B" or better fourth quarter
in a class that will have an exam,
he or she will not have to take
the test.
Seniors were quite divided
on the exemption policy; whiie
44% $aid they felt the policy
was fair, 37% voiced disagreement

naturally, is to be expected.
One must question, though,
the more recent damage that has
been inflicted on the SSC. Of
late, the area seems to have been
the victim of great carelessness
or even vandalism; writing on the
carpets and wood paneling falling
off in several places cannot be
attributed solely to wear and
tear.
The request here is going to
be short and sweet: please
exercise greater care in using the
SSC, and if you have by chance

Defense keys strong performance against
by Chris Kempczins~i
As the basketball Braves reach
the halfway point of their season,
a 4-6 record is hardly something
to gloat over. Critical losses to
Mariemont and Madeira foreshad-
owed prospective failures for the
team during the rest of their
schedule. However, that has not
been the case; the team has at-
tempted what could be called a
slight turnaround.
In the team's most recent
matchup against league rival
CAPE, who is ranked fifth in
the state, the team showed
flashes of brilliance despite los-
ing 54-48. For the first time all
season they played with consis-
tency throughout the entire game
and were able to work as a unit.
An airtight defense shut down
the Crusaders' two leading scor-
ers to a mere two points each.
The scoring for the Braves was
spread around quite well with

With the Bengals' season long
over, the Cincinnati football
fan no longer has to sit through
the lowly Bungles losing to teams
like the Oilers, but can instead
watch truly one of the great
teams of the eighties, the Chica-

one time or another should have
heard of their near perfect season,

hysteria which his mammoth pres-

to two of their games by himself

who was totally dominated by
Indian Hill. Though at a distinct
edge, the Braves used this game as
a possible springboard for future
successes, and the 74-54 score
certainly provided a much needed
boost for the team.
The boys' next game is against
Reading at home tonight. Senior
guard Andy Tucker commented
that despite Reading's winless
league record, "We can't get too
overconfident. I think we should
win-we have a good chance-but

the boy next door, and hailed him
as a hero. Particularly William
Perry, a 300 lb. rookie from
Clemson who was drafted as a de-
fensive lineman, but in mid-season
was converted to a running back.
Chicago's fans were delighted to
see Perry's fat plunging over the
goal line and flattening anything
in his way. But is he really all
that good? One of his own
coaches called him a "wasted
draft pick" but I must disagree.
Football is meant to be enter-
taining and if the fan gets so
excited about one player, then
he's worth it.
Unfortunately, that simple
assumption had been largely ig-
nored in the past. With the glitz-

The girls' varsity basketball
team is on the road to recovery.
The week before the Christmas

wins.
On December 17, they downed

rebounder. Mains has come
back to play strong after her inj-

The leading scorer was sophomore
Tricia Craig.
Coach Steve Thomspon says
that the team has "a chance to

reviewed by the teachers last
night, with a vote by them and
a review and vote by the Board
expected to follow soon.
The announcement of the
settlement came on January 6
to all the district's faculty.
A statement signed by Federal
Mediator Earl Leonhardt, said
that "tentative agreement has
been reached ...on a collective
bargaining agreement for the
certificated teaching staff."
Leonhardt said that the agree-
ment would "be recommended by

himself on a stage in a play he

the final negotiations, held over
winter break, were done solely
by Leonhardt and the out-

Board and CTA-Mr. Wilbur
