2 CHIEFTAIN May 23,1980

by Kurt Dusterberg The Braves dropped a 3-1

decision to the Glen Este Tro-

jans on May 1 at Indian Hill The Braves played sloppy

baseball defensively and had trouble hitting, finishing with 5

errors and only 3 hits.

The Trojans scored twice in

the first on line-shot iingles to center. Then, the Braves came

back with one run in their first

at-bat: Tod Schneebeck got on

first, Matt Jones singled to center and Kip Kerr knocked in Schnee-

beck.

to write private thoughts "be-

cause it forces me to think for a

change !"

If Fro's eyes sometime appear

somewhat bleary, he's probably

had another late-nighter in the

Chiefiain room. Currently co-

editor, Fro began as a typesetter

and basic peon freshman year.

"I remember circling every thing

I typed after the first issue," he laughs. He advanced to news

editor junior year and then finally

coeditor. "I was apprehensive of

being editor, since my brother

Dave was an editor. . .I hate to be

compared to a sibling." Fro, though outwardly a ser-

ious, intellectually profound

student, is a goofy hyper spaz-out behind the walls of the Chieftain

room. "I dig Chiefiaiil disco

breaks, and all the funky people

here.:' Fro often amuses himself and his peers by drooling on his

beard, jogging around the empty

halls of IH late at night, "finger fighting" (ask him), and doing

an imitation of a starving baby

pterodactyl screaming "FEED ME!" All of Fro's bizarre hunlor

probably rubbed off on him from

his lovable dog Sebastian, who

often needs Fro's loving care

(and valium). Next year Fro will be attend-

ing Swarthmore College in Penn-

sylvania. Cincinnati will no long-

er be home for Fro and his par-

ents, as the family is moving to

Chicago's North Shore this June.

"But don't fret ," says Fro,

"y'alls can comes up to see me

anytimes y'alls want." We may

just take you up on that offer,

Fro!

The Braves didn't score

another run, but Glen Este did add one in the top of the seventh

to clinch the victory. The Indian Hill Varsity base-

ballers continued to have sluggish

bats as they fell to Milford 5-1 May 2.

After Milford went ahead in a 2 4 lead, the Braves threatened to vault themselves into the

lead. Gary Kohls knocked in

Tod Schneebeck, who had singled and move to second on Kip Kerr's

second hit of the day. But, the Braves left both runners on base

after the first run.

Milford scored three more

runs in the top of the seventh and

IH could not close the gap in their

final attempt.

Kip Kerr took the pitching

loss for the Braves.

Mark Gottschalk's second con-

secutive shutout and a home run

by Tod Schneebeck helped the

Braves romp to a 5 4 lead over

Madeira May 3.

Gottschalk's one-hitter and the Braves' consistent hitting

LUH (con't from p. 1 1) spent her summer staying with a

family in Caracas through Youth For Understanding (Y FU), a

student exchange organization.

At present, Lori is Senior Search-

ing as a YFU worker. Luh main-

tains that "The best thing I got out of the Venezuaela experience

was how to dance the Salsa, a

pretty obscene dance, I know,

but maybe that's why I like it!"

Soap operas also occupy a lot of Luh's time. Every Oieftain

production night, Luh runs home at three o'clock to catch her fa-

vorite show, "General Hospital."

She says, "I like them first, because the people are so honest with each other; second, becaure

the guys are cute; third, because you want certain people to go out and they always do. The best

scene I ever watched was when

Laura almost gave in to Luke at

his office! Alihh! That was a

great one!"

Soap operas, Chieftain and Young Life aren't Luh's only ac-

tivities. She's an avid seamstress,

third-year "Pow-Wow"er, and of

course, a partier.

snapped their 2game losing streak

in the EHL. They added one run

in each of the first six innings

except the third.

The 12-hit attack was led by

Gary Kohls with 3 hits, Tod Schneebeck and Paul Brown with

2 hits each, and Gottschalk with

a triple. Dave Budig drove in three runs

and Tod Schneebeck continued

his consistent pitching in leading

the Braves to a 9-3 drubbing of

Sycamore at IH May 5. The Braves started their

offense by scoring three runs in the second inning. With the

bases loaded, Kevin Egan layed down a suicide squeeze bunt to

score Gary Kohls. Budig then

knocked in Paul Brown and Mark

Gottschalk.

In the third and fourth, Syca- more tagged the Braves for one

run in each inning to narrow the

Braves' lead to 3-2.

But, in the fifth inning, the

Braves ran the lead to 6-2 with

a clutch single by Brown and a

sacrifice fly out by Schneebeck.

(only kidding, Lull), Lori will at-

tend Indiana University with a

double major in Business and

Spanish. In two years, she hopes to study in Peru so that she can

prepare herself for a job in Latin

American business.

Lori's participation in Chief-

tain has added a lot of spirit and

spice to Chieftain life. Although she's willing to put up with thirty

or forty hours of C7ziefrairz busy- work each week, Luh still charac-

terizes herself as an "easygoing

procrastinator." I'inally, though,

Luh has admitted the real source of her interest in Chieftain. ''I2or

t!ie past nine years, I've liad a

secret crush on Boss Kincaid," she claims. "I really go for bald men."

For her classn~ates, the school,

the Chieftain staff, her coeditor

and especially Boss Kincaid, the name "Luhmuhfuhsuh" will al-

ways have a very special signifi- cance.

Matt Jones drove in 2 runs in

the next inning in helping the

Braves to a 9-2 lead. Sycainore

could only add one run in the

seventh, as the Aviators fell to

defeat. For the second time of the

season, the Braves defeated the

Loveland Tigers by 2-0 May 6. The Braves scored thdr first

run in the bottom of the first,

when Tod Schneebeck singled, moved to second on a ground out

by Matt Jones, went to third on

a wild pitch and scored on a

sacrifice flyout by Gary Kohls. IH got their other run in the

fifth. Kevin Egan drew a walk and moved to third on a single

by Dave Budig. Schneebeck then hit a deep tlyball to center, allow-

ing Egan to score.

Kip Kerr got the pitching win

for the Braves.

Earlier in the year, the Braves

shutout the Tigers 6 4 a t Love-

land. The Braves were eliminated in

the first round of the sectionals

by Princeton 9-2, May 7.

The Braves gave up two runs

in the first, two in the third, and

three in the fourth.

IH did get a little help from

losing pitcher Mark Gottschalk,

who belted his second homer

of the year with one runner on

base.

The Braves closed out the

1980 season on a sour note,

a ing to Glen Este 5-2 in an away

game May 8.

Glen Este had moved out to a

4-0 lead before Gary Kohls ripped

a triple into right center field and

came home on a single by Mark Gottschalk.

If1 found themselves down by

four runs but narrowed th&ir deficit to three when Dave

Budig's single, his second of the day, knocked in Kip Kerr. How-

ever, that was all the damage the

Braves could do. The Varsity closed the season

in third place a t 10-10 with an

8-6 EHL record. Tod Schneebeck

was named most valuable player

and Mark Gottschalk was named

most improved player. Gary Kohls was named the team cap-

tain. Gottschalk led the team

with a 1.20 ERA and Kohls

batted -354 to lead the Braves

hitters. Other players recognized

for their efforts were Matt Jones

and Kip Kerr.

and students are misinformed and

confused. Rumors inevitably

form when the facts are

not clear, and the only way the

facts can become clear is if com-

munication is improved.

Just who is responsible for

communication within our

school? In "real life,'' the press

informs the public of current

events and governmental affairs,

while the government itself con-

centrates on making the laws and

decisions. In a student setting,

however, I feel that such speciali-

zation is unnecessary, even harm-

ful, for i t further complicates the

situation. Since Student Go-

vernment members, and ultimate-

ly, the administrators themselves,

are the ones who know (or should

know) what is going on, why not

communicate directly with the

students through publications

specifically for this purpose? If

this plan is not feasible, how

tendance were encouraged. In

addition, while student interest

and initiative is certainly com-

mendable, it should be unneces-

sary. In any kind of governing

situation, the leaders are respons-

ible for informing the public

about issues which will directly or

indirectly affect them. In my

opinion, Student Government

members should take full respon-

sibility for this task, and adminis-

trators should take a more active

role in making sure students are

accurately and adequately in-

formed and comfortable with the

information they have received.

Up until now, Student

Governmentattempted commu-

nication techniques have been

limited to 5-minute homeroom

make use of the methods that are available for our

learning and keep the long-range goals in sight, as well

as the short-range ones.

and administrative changes. While

I am not saying that such Student

Government-sponsored activities

are worthless, I do think that too

many additional responsibilities

may cause Student Government

to lose sight of its main func-

tion - representing the student

body before the administration in

school affairs and communicating

its accomplishments to the stu-

dents. In fact, if students were

more aware of the accomplish-

ments of Student Government,

we might be able to eliminate the

sarcastic, ignorance-based "But

what have you done?" so com-

monly heard around campaign

time.

The transition period between

school years is always a conven-

ient and appropriate time for re-

form in all aspect.^ of our school

system. Hopefully, our newly-

elected Student Government of-

ficials will recognize the serious-

ness of our communication prob-

lem and will attempt to make

some needed improvements for

next year. A better communi-

cation problem and will attempt

to make some needed improve-

ments for next year. A better

communication system within our

school will lead to increased

understanding, a more compatible

relationship between students and

the administration, and a more

organized, comfortable environ-

ment for everyone.

"My spasmocity probably stems

from the insecurity I felt fresh-

"Luh,"* as she is more commonly

known. For those who know

Luh, her 'spasmocity' tends to

occur in cycles. For instance, at

Luh would 'spaz out' with disco

Trackmen finish season 6th in EHL by Richard Stradling

The Indian Hill Braves' Varsity

Track Team finished fifth out of five teams at the Greenhills Invi-

tational Thursday and Friday,

April 30 and May 1. Northwest won the meet with

131 points, followed by Green-

hills with 110 points and Marie-

mont the only other EHL team,

with 94 points, and Reading won

4th place with 64% points. The Braves trailed the pack in 5th

place with 5 8% points.

A bright spot in the Braves'

loss was Dave "Bruce Jenner"

Dirvin, who captured 2nd place in

the pentathalon. The pentathalon

consists of 5 events: the 120 yd.

hurdles, 100 meter dash, the shot, the mile run and the long jump.

Other strong performances were turned in by Doug Free-

man, Brad Heinbach, Pierre Collet and Jeff Ertel. Tom Berry ran the

100 meter daih in 11.4 seconds,

establishing the fastest time of the

year, and Chris Gruber ran the 300 yd. low hurdles in 45

seconds.

Coach Rob West descried the

n~eet as "Lowhay" and as "being

only a warmup for the EHL

meet."

points. Farther back, Madeira

took 3rd place scoring 71 points

and Loveland took 4th with 68

followed by Milford with 64.

Indian Hill just nipped Deer Park

for 6th place, scoring 29 points,

with the Wildcats close behind

with 28. A poor Glen Este team

brought up the rear unable to score a single point.

After the field events Thurs-

day, IH was in 5th place with 13

points on the strength of Tony Haskett's 1st place in the long

jump. Other field event points came from Don Pappas, 5th in the

high jump, Jeff Ertel, 6th in the shot put, and Dave Rhodenbaugh,

6th in the pole vault.

came back with a quick try leaving the score 6-6. St. X again

scored on a field goal and kept their 9-6 lead until late in the

game. With less than 1 :00 left in the game, Marty Schaefer scored

on a penalty kick to tie the game. Keys to the II-I attack this year

'were Nick Hoskin at scrum half,

against GreenhiUs and the Squaws

won by a score of 7-0. Mary

Brainard pitched her fnst shutout

of the season.

"Defensively, the Squaws

played their best all season," said

Mr. Wessinger. In 7 innings,

Greenhiis only had 24 batters

and 3 hits. The Squaws ended

the game with a double play

executed by Lisa Goldsmith,

Chris Cucinotta and Diane Cuci-

. notta. Hitting leaders for the

Squaws were Susan Womack, 3-3 and Amy Heinz 3 4 .

At the Awards Banquet last

Monday night, Coach Wessinger

awarded Diane Cucinotta, hono- rary captain ; Mary Brainard, most

improved player; and Chris Cuci-

notta, Most Valuable Player.

Their overall record was 10-6, and he added that 10 victories

is a school record for the softball

Squaws. Coach Wessinger

finished saying that the Squaws

should do well in the next few

seasons because most of the leading statistics were made by

either freshmen or sophomores.

Adequately educating the gifted child creates many pro-

blems for educators. Selecting a curriculum and creating an

educational atmosphere for gifted children augments these basic

problems. Nevertheless, many school systems try to provide

special education for their gifted students.

Indian Hill began a program

three years ago to cope with this

problem. Sixty students in grades

1-6 enrolled in "Discovery Class,"

a program which pulled them out of regular class for one day every

week.

The Discovery class students

were selected for their intellectual

'giftedness," not for special

musical, artistic or vocational

talent. According to Mrs. Norita

Aplin, Director of Curriculum

and Pupil Services, children with

their gifts can receive individual

attention through independent

scoreds in reading and math

are used to rank students for entrance. Group IQ scores are

also used to evaluate students.

The cut+ff point is 135. "Discyvery Class" follows a

three-fold curriculum. 'We are making assumptions that the

intellectually gifted are able to engage in problems which tax their reasoning powers," said Mrs. Aplin. Accordingly, they spend

time solving logic problems and math puzzles for "reasoning de-

velopment. "

The students also explore

topics they find interesting and

can share them with other

students. "They teach each

other,'' said Mrs. Aplin, "by

sharing what they study."

The program now holds 90

students in grades 1-7 and another

full-time teacher. For the

1981-82 school year, the program

will extend for grades 1-8.

middle schools can be applied to

the high school, then about 12%

or 115 of the high school students could be labelled "intellectually

gifted."

Presently, no special program exists for the gifted in the high school, but many students take

advantage of available options.

Most IH students who might be labelled gifted take advantage

of the Advanced Placement Pro- grams which are available in

several academic areas.

Often, a few IHers take some

of their courses at Xavier, Miami, or U.C. Another option,' which,

according to Dr. Feltman, has not

yet fully been explored is that of

bringing in university teachers

part-time to teach certain classes. "I think that Indian Hill is

a school system which has always

been aware of the need to help

its gifted students," commented

Mrs. Aplin. According to her,

adequately meeting the needs of

its gifted students is a goal of the

school district.

SG reviews past year's achievements by Rich Ruskin

After reviewing this year's

Student Government projects,

Scott Edwards and Julie

Schneebeck made some com-

ments about theb successes. "I think that we've made school

more enjoyable," said Scott.

Julie and Scott attribute this success to more organized activities,

such as SG forums, and more

clubs for activity penods.

Both Scott and Julie felt that

the Big Brothers and Sisters pro-

ject worked tremendously well. "The pro~ect," relayea Scott,

"made the Freshman feel like part

of the group."

Working at the Beech Acres

Orphanage was another success.

"I think that this is really a super

service project," said Julie, "it

really generated some good feel-

ings."

As well as having many success-

ful accomplishments, Student

Government did have its problems. One problem which hap-

pened early in the year was the

cancellation of the Homecoming float competion. "This was a

major downfall," stated Scott. "It really hurt." Scott also feels

that cancellation of after-Prom . activites was also a failure.

Another letdown, according to

Scott, was the failure of the class

cabinets. "It may be my fault,"

confessed Scott, "but I hope in the future they will be used."

Julie, on the other hand, felt that

the cabinets were good publicity

for SG.

The Graffiti Board, according t c

Scott, "started off terribly. But

THE ARMY'S now, the terrible language has

gone down and it's being used for

its correct puf~ose."

was plagued with a number of

failures, Scott does not feel it was

Commenting of the image of

"Before, it used to be quiet, and

mg when ideas turned into physi- cal things." Julie, on the other

hand, stated, "It's hard for me to see. I would hope it's one of

CHIEFTAIN CHIEFTAIN May 23,1980

by Douglas Jones

Adequately educating the gifted child creates many pro-

blems for educators. Selecting a curriculum and creating an

educational atmosphere for gifted children augments these basic

problems. Nevertheless, many school systems try to provide

special education for their gifted students.

Indian Hill began a program

three years ago to cope with this

problem. Sixty students in grades

1-6 enrolled in "Discovery Class,"

a program which pulled them out of regular class for one day every

week.

The Discovery class students

were selected for their intellectual

'giftedness," not for special

musical, artistic or vocational

talent. According to Mrs. Norita

Aplin, Director of Curriculum

and Pupil Services, children with

their gifts can receive individual

attention through independent

are accepted, ~chievement test

scoreds in reading and math

are used to rank students for entrance. Group IQ scores are

also used to evaluate students.

The cut+ff point is 135. "Discyvery Class" follows a

three-fold curriculum. 'We are making assumptions that the

intellectually gifted are able to engage in problems which tax their reasoning powers," said Mrs. Aplin. Accordingly, they spend

time solving logic problems and math puzzles for "reasoning de-

velopment. "

The students also explore

topics they find interesting and

can share them with other

students. "They teach each

other,'' said Mrs. Aplin, "by

sharing what they study."

The program now holds 90

students in grades 1-7 and another

full-time teacher. For the

1981-82 school year, the program

will extend for grades 1-8.

middle schools can be applied to

the high school, then about 12%

or 115 of the high school students could be labelled "intellectually

gifted."

Presently, no special program exists for the gifted in the high school, but many students take

advantage of available options.

Most IH students who might be labelled gifted take advantage

of the Advanced Placement Pro- grams which are available in

several academic areas.

Often, a few IHers take some

of their courses at Xavier, Miami, or U.C. Another option,' which,

according to Dr. Feltman, has not

yet fully been explored is that of

bringing in university teachers

part-time to teach certain classes. "I think that Indian Hill is

a school system which has always

been aware of the need to help

its gifted students," commented

Mrs. Aplin. According to her,

adequately meeting the needs of

its gifted students is a goal of the

school district.

SG reviews past year's achievements by Rich Ruskin

After reviewing this year's

Student Government projects,

Scott Edwards and Julie

Schneebeck made some com-

ments about theb successes. "I think that we've made school

more enjoyable," said Scott.

Julie and Scott attribute this success to more organized activities,

such as SG forums, and more

clubs for activity penods.

Both Scott and Julie felt that

the Big Brothers and Sisters pro-

ject worked tremendously well. "The pro~ect," relayea Scott,

"made the Freshman feel like part

of the group."

Working at the Beech Acres

Orphanage was another success.

"I think that this is really a super

service project," said Julie, "it

really generated some good feel-

ings."

As well as having many success-

ful accomplishments, Student

Government did have its problems. One problem which hap-

pened early in the year was the

cancellation of the Homecoming float competion. "This was a

major downfall," stated Scott. "It really hurt." Scott also feels

that cancellation of after-Prom . activites was also a failure.

Another letdown, according to

Scott, was the failure of the class

cabinets. "It may be my fault,"

confessed Scott, "but I hope in the future they will be used."

Julie, on the other hand, felt that

the cabinets were good publicity

for SG.

The Graffiti Board, according t c

Scott, "started off terribly. But

THE ARMY'S now, the terrible language has

gone down and it's being used for

its correct puf~ose."

G O T Although Student Government

was plagued with a number of

failures, Scott does not feel it was

These reps. were apg6hted by a committee of the new Resident and Vice Resident of S.G. and a teacher im charge, h i ch is legal under the school constitution.

The Irepa. were not picked by their placement in the orighal

elections so that there would be no question of popularity. Ac- cording to the teacher in charge, dnce the elections were "just a popularity contest anyway," the reps. would be appointed.

The rep. who was sixth in the elections was &nored for fear of a "popularity contest." This candidate h s often tried, un- successfully, to be a part of S.G. but now he is refused a place because he was not involved.

The reps. were also chosen on a bagis of potential, but the committee did not bother to check out the ideas of the other candidates because they "only had 20 minutes to choose the reps," If it was thought to be

Trackmen finish season 6th in EHL by Richard Stradling


Track Team finished fifth out of five teams at the Greenhills Invi-

tational Thursday and Friday,

April 30 and May 1. Northwest won the meet with

131 points, followed by Green-

hills with 110 points and Marie-

mont the only other EHL team,

with 94 points, and Reading won

4th place with 64% points. The Braves trailed the pack in 5th

place with 5 8% points.

A bright spot in the Braves'

loss was Dave "Bruce Jenner"

Dirvin, who captured 2nd place in

the pentathalon. The pentathalon

consists of 5 events: the 120 yd.

hurdles, 100 meter dash, the shot, the mile run and the long jump.

Other strong performances were turned in by Doug Free-

man, Brad Heinbach, Pierre Collet and Jeff Ertel. Tom Berry ran the

100 meter daih in 11.4 seconds,

establishing the fastest time of the

year, and Chris Gruber ran the 300 yd. low hurdles in 45

seconds.

Coach Rob West descried the

n~eet as "Lowhay" and as "being

only a warmup for the EHL

meet."


and Junior Varsity Track teams

fared rather poorly at the Eastern Hills League Meet Friday, May 9,

taking 6th and 5th places.

Sycamore's Varsity won the

meet with 104 points, followed

closely by Mariemont with 101

points. Farther back, Madeira

took 3rd place scoring 71 points

and Loveland took 4th with 68

followed by Milford with 64.

Indian Hill just nipped Deer Park

for 6th place, scoring 29 points,

with the Wildcats close behind

with 28. A poor Glen Este team

brought up the rear unable to score a single point.

After the field events Thurs-

day, IH was in 5th place with 13

points on the strength of Tony Haskett's 1st place in the long

jump. Other field event points came from Don Pappas, 5th in the

high jump, Jeff Ertel, 6th in the shot put, and Dave Rhodenbaugh,

6th in the pole vault.

Placing in the running events were Doug Freeman, 4th in the

two mile run, Chris Gruber, 4th in

the 880 yd. run, Tom Berry, 5th

finished the season last Sunday

with a 9-9 tie against a tough St. Xavier team.

Eddie Camardo performs his

rugby ability for the IH Nomads.

The IH Nomads came through

with an early try on a muffed ball

by St. X's fly half. St. X pene- trated the IH backfield as they

came back with a quick try leaving the score 6-6. St. X again

scored on a field goal and kept their 9-6 lead until late in the

game. With less than 1 :00 left in the game, Marty Schaefer scored

on a penalty kick to tie the game. Keys to the II-I attack this year

'were Nick Hoskin at scrum half,

Marty Schaefer at fly half, Tim

Tuttle at hooker, Rick Wilson at

wing and "Big Mo" Mike Belangi

at Prop. More importantly, how-

ever, the team owes its success to

its volunteer coaches Speedy

Logan and Fred Woodhouse.

The Nomads compiled a 4-2-1 record this season with losses to

St. X and Wyoming and wins later in the season against Wyoming,

Elder and Centerville. Participa-

ting in the Mid-America Cup

Tournament in Dayton, the IH

team was eliminated in the semi-

finals by the number one team in

the tournament.

also placed well, finishing 4th.

The mile relay team finished 6th.

The junior varsity squad was

took 4th in the mile, Jon

Groome, who took 5th in the 120

yard low hurdles, and Robert

McVicker, who took 5th in the

880 yd. dash. Other Braves

placing were Richard Stradling in

the 2 mile run, Greg McDaniel in

the long jump and the mile relay

team with Robert McVicker, Mike

finish, Coach Bob West is optimis-

Aqua-Squaws place

fourth in state

by Kama Brockman The Indian Hill High School

Aqua-Squaws came in 4th in the

state swimming meet held May 16 and 17 at Ohio State University.

Sue Drake posted an outstanding

swim in the 500 yard freestyle

with a 4th place finish. The 400 freestyle relay of Betsy Weller,

Sue Drake, Laura Husty and

Diane Remmel swam a 3 :44 :00 to

capture 3rd place in that event.

Softball Squaws finish best ever

by Amy Heinz This win placed the Squaws

The Softball Squaws won an third in the EHL with a final

important game against Milford league record of 6 4 .

May 2,106. This win made them The Squaws began their com- 4-3 in the league. A key defensive petition in the AAA Hamilton

play of the game was a running County tournament last Friday,

catch in left field by Susan May 16. Their first game was

Womack to get the Squaws out of

a bases-loaded 7th inning situation. The hitting leaders were all

3 for 4, and they were Mary

Brainard, Susan Womack, Mary

Griffith, Pam Lowenstein, and

Amy Hew. The Softball Squaws lost a

close game to a tough Sycamore

team on May 5. The final score was 10-7. Leading hitters were

Lisa Goldsmith, 3 for 4; and

Susan Womack, 3 for 4.

The Squaws began their

winning streak with their victory over Ursuline on May 6. The

Squaws won 8 6 , and Joanne

Pierce went 2 for 2 and Lisa

Goldsmith went 3 for 4.

The softball Squaws knocked Glen Este out of first place in the

EHL when they beat them by a

15-4 margin. The hitting leaders were Diane Cucinotta, 4 for 4,

Pam Lowenstein, 3 for 3, Amy

Heinz and Mary Brainard, 3 for 4.

The Squaws had yet another victory on May 9 when they beat

Loveland 136. Top batters were

Pam Lowenstein, 4 for 5 ; Chris

Tuke and Amy Espy, 3 for 4. --

against GreenhiUs and the Squaws

won by a score of 7-0. Mary

Brainard pitched her fnst shutout

of the season.

"Defensively, the Squaws

played their best all season," said

Mr. Wessinger. In 7 innings,

Greenhiis only had 24 batters

and 3 hits. The Squaws ended

the game with a double play

executed by Lisa Goldsmith,

Chris Cucinotta and Diane Cuci-

. notta. Hitting leaders for the

Squaws were Susan Womack, 3-3 and Amy Heinz 3 4 .

At the Awards Banquet last

Monday night, Coach Wessinger

awarded Diane Cucinotta, hono- rary captain ; Mary Brainard, most

improved player; and Chris Cuci-

notta, Most Valuable Player.

Their overall record was 10-6, and he added that 10 victories

is a school record for the softball

Squaws. Coach Wessinger

finished saying that the Squaws

should do well in the next few

seasons because most of the leading statistics were made by

either freshmen or sophomores.

and students are misinformed and

confused. Rumors inevitably

form when the facts are

not clear, and the only way the

facts can become clear is if com-

munication is improved.

Just who is responsible for

communication within our

school? In "real life,'' the press

informs the public of current

events and governmental affairs,

while the government itself con-

centrates on making the laws and

decisions. In a student setting,

however, I feel that such speciali-

zation is unnecessary, even harm-

ful, for i t further complicates the

situation. Since Student Go-

vernment members, and ultimate-

ly, the administrators themselves,

are the ones who know (or should

know) what is going on, why not

communicate directly with the

students through publications

specifically for this purpose? If

this plan is not feasible, how

tendance were encouraged. In

addition, while student interest

and initiative is certainly com-

mendable, it should be unneces-

sary. In any kind of governing

situation, the leaders are respons-

ible for informing the public

about issues which will directly or

indirectly affect them. In my

opinion, Student Government

members should take full respon-

sibility for this task, and adminis-

trators should take a more active

role in making sure students are

accurately and adequately in-

formed and comfortable with the

information they have received.

I am not saying that such Student

Government-sponsored activities

are worthless, I do think that too

many additional responsibilities

may cause Student Government

to lose sight of its main func-

tion - representing the student

body before the administration in

school affairs and communicating

its accomplishments to the stu-

dents. In fact, if students were

more aware of the accomplish-

ments of Student Government,

we might be able to eliminate the

sarcastic, ignorance-based "But

what have you done?" so com-

monly heard around campaign

time.

The transition period between

school years is always a conven-

ient and appropriate time for re-

form in all aspect.^ of our school

system. Hopefully, our newly-

elected Student Government of-

ficials will recognize the serious-

ness of our communication prob-

lem and will attempt to make

some needed improvements for

next year. A better communi-

Luh 'spazzes out'

CHIEFTAIN ,-.'

I 2 '95% ,

on soaps and catterne by Peter Bessen

"My spasmocity probably stems

from the insecurity I felt fresh-

man year," says Lori Davison, or

"Luh,"* as she is more commonly

known. For those who know

Luh, her 'spasmocity' tends to

occur in cycles. For instance, at

the beginning of this school year,

Luh would 'spaz out' with disco

dancing techniques, Venezualan

jokes, and imitations of Rose-

annerosannadanna, Diane Boh-

mer, Mr. Powers (in Spanish),

and Mrs. Connelly. Now, how-

ever, Luh is more interested in

boys, Taco Casa jukebox music

and soap operas.

Luh attributes her spastic na-

ture to her caffeine addiction. "I

without two or three Diet Pepsis

and a couple cups of coffee," she

claims.

Luh's 'spasmocity' carries over

t o her Chieftain work. Any male

Chieftain staffer will vouch for

that. "I attack boys, because I

like to shock them," explains

Luh. I'm a very 'touchy-feely' .

person, when you come down to

it, and for those guys who are in-

terested-I go for tall, lanky men."

"It doesn't seem like it, I

know, but I do have a high set of

moral values," says Luh. This

set of high moral standards comes

through with Lori's participation

in Young Life. Young Life is a

Peter preaches pantheism, poethics and pubescence by Lori Davison

Like any other red-blooded

American boy, senior Peter Bes-

sen believes in "free speech, free-

dom of religion, freedom of the

press (especially the Chieftain)

. . .and free SEX. . .but only for

trees."

Peter's love for nature is

apparent by his tluffy "au

naturel" Afro and beard, and it

is no surprise that his widely

used nickname is FRO BRO (Fro

for short).

Fro feels best when he is

cycling, sailing, or just walking in

the nature that he loves and re-

spects. The ultimate high for

Peter was living in Fossil, Ore-

gon last summer while working

of an archeological dig. "The

people there were extremely dif-

ferent from the standard Indian

Hill type. . .I loved it!"

"A lot of kids a t Indian Hal

aren't interested in change.

Either they are indifferent t o it

or they feel that it is irresponsible to be different."

Peter feels that "man's destiny

is to live in harmony with nature.

thetic things it is the object of

that community to live in har-

mony with nature."

This idea of harmony with na-

ture is the basis of Fro's reli-

gious beliefs. Although his her-

itage is Jewish, he has his "own

form of Judaism that could be

branded as a type of Panthe-

ism."

As a student, Fro is concern-

ed about our current education

system. "I feel that the pre-

sent system is processing us un-

justly," he states. "Education

shopid be geared more toward

undefstanding oneself, and IH

should not be afraid to change

the current way of educating."

To initiate this change, Fro re-

cently joined a Student Council

oq Education Reform, which

offers suggestions and goals to the

~chool board and administration.

Ironically though, Peter has

always acheived high academic

honors and is valedictorian of his

class. Fro's favorite passion next t o

by Kurt Dusterberg The Braves dropped a 3-1

decision to the Glen Este Tro-

jans on May 1 at Indian Hill The Braves played sloppy

baseball defensively and had trouble hitting, finishing with 5

errors and only 3 hits.

The Trojans scored twice in

the first on line-shot iingles to center. Then, the Braves came

back with one run in their first

at-bat: Tod Schneebeck got on

first, Matt Jones singled to center and Kip Kerr knocked in Schnee-

beck.

FRO (con't from p. 11)

to write private thoughts "be-

cause it forces me to think for a

change !"

If Fro's eyes sometime appear

somewhat bleary, he's probably

had another late-nighter in the

Chiefiain room. Currently co-

editor, Fro began as a typesetter

and basic peon freshman year.

"I remember circling every thing

I typed after the first issue," he laughs. He advanced to news

editor junior year and then finally

coeditor. "I was apprehensive of

being editor, since my brother

Dave was an editor. . .I hate to be

compared to a sibling." Fro, though outwardly a ser-

ious, intellectually profound

student, is a goofy hyper spaz-out behind the walls of the Chieftain

room. "I dig Chiefiaiil disco

breaks, and all the funky people

here.:' Fro often amuses himself and his peers by drooling on his

beard, jogging around the empty

halls of IH late at night, "finger fighting" (ask him), and doing

an imitation of a starving baby

pterodactyl screaming "FEED ME!" All of Fro's bizarre hunlor

probably rubbed off on him from

his lovable dog Sebastian, who

often needs Fro's loving care

(and valium). Next year Fro will be attend-

ing Swarthmore College in Penn-

sylvania. Cincinnati will no long-

er be home for Fro and his par-

ents, as the family is moving to

Chicago's North Shore this June.

"But don't fret ," says Fro,

"y'alls can comes up to see me

anytimes y'alls want." We may

just take you up on that offer,

Fro!

The Braves didn't score

another run, but Glen Este did add one in the top of the seventh

to clinch the victory. The Indian Hill Varsity base-

ballers continued to have sluggish

bats as they fell to Milford 5-1 May 2.

After Milford went ahead in a 2 4 lead, the Braves threatened to vault themselves into the

lead. Gary Kohls knocked in

Tod Schneebeck, who had singled and move to second on Kip Kerr's

second hit of the day. But, the Braves left both runners on base

after the first run.

Milford scored three more

runs in the top of the seventh and

IH could not close the gap in their

final attempt.

Kip Kerr took the pitching

loss for the Braves.

Mark Gottschalk's second con-

secutive shutout and a home run

by Tod Schneebeck helped the

Braves romp to a 5 4 lead over

Madeira May 3.

Gottschalk's one-hitter and the Braves' consistent hitting

LUH (con't from p. 1 1) spent her summer staying with a

family in Caracas through Youth For Understanding (Y FU), a

student exchange organization.

At present, Lori is Senior Search-

ing as a YFU worker. Luh main-

tains that "The best thing I got out of the Venezuaela experience

was how to dance the Salsa, a

pretty obscene dance, I know,

but maybe that's why I like it!"

Soap operas also occupy a lot of Luh's time. Every Oieftain

production night, Luh runs home at three o'clock to catch her fa-

vorite show, "General Hospital."

She says, "I like them first, because the people are so honest with each other; second, becaure

the guys are cute; third, because you want certain people to go out and they always do. The best

scene I ever watched was when

Laura almost gave in to Luke at

his office! Alihh! That was a

great one!"

Soap operas, Chieftain and Young Life aren't Luh's only ac-

tivities. She's an avid seamstress,

team (cocaptain her senior year),

a member of Chamber Choir, a

third-year "Pow-Wow"er, and of

course, a partier.

snapped their 2game losing streak

in the EHL. They added one run

in each of the first six innings

except the third.

The 12-hit attack was led by

Gary Kohls with 3 hits, Tod Schneebeck and Paul Brown with

2 hits each, and Gottschalk with

a triple. Dave Budig drove in three runs

and Tod Schneebeck continued

his consistent pitching in leading

the Braves to a 9-3 drubbing of

Sycamore at IH May 5. The Braves started their

offense by scoring three runs in the second inning. With the

bases loaded, Kevin Egan layed down a suicide squeeze bunt to

score Gary Kohls. Budig then

knocked in Paul Brown and Mark

Gottschalk.

In the third and fourth, Syca- more tagged the Braves for one

run in each inning to narrow the

Braves' lead to 3-2.

But, in the fifth inning, the

Braves ran the lead to 6-2 with

a clutch single by Brown and a

sacrifice fly out by Schneebeck.

* * * * * * * * * * + * * * "At parties, I like to watch

Next year, when she's not try-

ing to find a husband who would

be willing to put up with her

(only kidding, Lull), Lori will at-

tend Indiana University with a

double major in Business and

Spanish. In two years, she hopes to study in Peru so that she can

prepare herself for a job in Latin

American business.

Lori's participation in Chief-

tain has added a lot of spirit and

spice to Chieftain life. Although she's willing to put up with thirty

or forty hours of C7ziefrairz busy- work each week, Luh still charac-

terizes herself as an "easygoing

procrastinator." I'inally, though,

Luh has admitted the real source of her interest in Chieftain. ''I2or

t!ie past nine years, I've liad a

secret crush on Boss Kincaid," she claims. "I really go for bald men."

For her classn~ates, the school,

the Chieftain staff, her coeditor

and especially Boss Kincaid, the name "Luhmuhfuhsuh" will al-

ways have a very special signifi- cance.

Matt Jones drove in 2 runs in

the next inning in helping the

Braves to a 9-2 lead. Sycainore

could only add one run in the

seventh, as the Aviators fell to

defeat. For the second time of the

season, the Braves defeated the

Loveland Tigers by 2-0 May 6. The Braves scored thdr first

run in the bottom of the first,

when Tod Schneebeck singled, moved to second on a ground out

by Matt Jones, went to third on

a wild pitch and scored on a

sacrifice flyout by Gary Kohls. IH got their other run in the

fifth. Kevin Egan drew a walk and moved to third on a single

by Dave Budig. Schneebeck then hit a deep tlyball to center, allow-

ing Egan to score.

Kip Kerr got the pitching win

for the Braves.

Earlier in the year, the Braves

shutout the Tigers 6 4 a t Love-

land. The Braves were eliminated in

the first round of the sectionals

by Princeton 9-2, May 7.

The Braves gave up two runs

in the first, two in the third, and

three in the fourth.

IH did get a little help from

losing pitcher Mark Gottschalk,

who belted his second homer

of the year with one runner on

base.

The Braves closed out the

1980 season on a sour note,

a ing to Glen Este 5-2 in an away

game May 8.

Glen Este had moved out to a

4-0 lead before Gary Kohls ripped

a triple into right center field and

came home on a single by Mark Gottschalk.

If1 found themselves down by

four runs but narrowed th&ir deficit to three when Dave

Budig's single, his second of the day, knocked in Kip Kerr. How-

ever, that was all the damage the

Braves could do. The Varsity closed the season

in third place a t 10-10 with an

8-6 EHL record. Tod Schneebeck

was named most valuable player

and Mark Gottschalk was named

most improved player. Gary Kohls was named the team cap-

tain. Gottschalk led the team

with a 1.20 ERA and Kohls

batted -354 to lead the Braves

hitters. Other players recognized

for their efforts were Matt Jones

and Kip Kerr.
