way of the woo&
eet and trap
by Wlvigbt PoMenbeqp
Last week many Indian Hill
juniors completed a field trip to
the Indian Hill gun club. The
mqjority of the students enjoyed
the shooting but don't totalty un-
derstand the rules behind such
shotgun games.
First of all two such games ex-
ist: skeet and trap. Both games
involve a shotgunner trying to hit
clay pigeons, commonly called
"birds". Why they are called
"birds" I don't have the foggiest
idea. Maybe someone once
dressed one up with wings, legs,
and a beak and tried to shoot it.
Of the two games trap is the
simpler one. Trap involves fwe
linear stations from which the
participant shoots. In front of
these stations lies the house from
which the clay pigeons fly. The
clay pigeons fly one of three dir-
ections: left, right, or straight.
There is no set pattern. It de-
pends when the button is pushed
to let the bird fly.
Following the birds is the dif-
ficult part of trap shooting. The
birds fly no set path so each shot
requires quick reflexes. The sho-
oter has no clue where the bird
will go.
LENNON, from p. 3
was credited to both.
This is why the song "Give
Peace a Chance," which was act-
ually recorded in a hotel room
during a "bedh" in 1969, has
McCartney's name on it, even
though he had nothing to do with
it. Both .artists' names being
present on a release was not done
to keep the actual writer a
mystery, but to share the money
equally between the two.
For those who are interested,
the lead vocalist is almost always
the writer; the exceptions occur
with the songs written by John
and Paul, but sung by Ringo,
"I Wannabe your Man.''
In conclusion, the article was
poorly written and inadequately
researched, for the future plans of
Yoko and Sean were not even
mentioned, nor is the recent re-
lease of "The John Lennon Col-
lection" by Geffen Records,
which contains remixes of some
Plastic Ono Band songs. There is
also some tape of new Lennon
material that has yet to be re-
leased; no mention was made to
it's future. The article was simply
a cursory and inaccurate summary
of Lemon's life.

provide games tor shooters
Trap shooting consists of fwe
shots from each of the five stat-
ions so twenty-fwe shots are
taken in all. One point is awarded
for each hit bird, so a score of
twenty-fwe is a perfect score.
The more popular of the shot-
gun games is skeet. In skeet the
birds follow a set path from either
of the two houses while the
hunter changes position.
There is a low house and a
high house. From the high house
the birds come out higher so the
shooter must aim higher. Birds
from the lower house fly closer to
the ground. The two houses face
each other, but each one throws
birds to the side of the other
house.
In skeet there are eight sta-
tions. Seven of them lie in a semi-
circle with a house on each end:
The last station lies between the
two last houses.
From each station a shooter

back to Camp Muir before the
snow became slippery. At one
point during the trip the teams
had to cross a snowfield infamous
for avalanches.
The group then made the long
trip to Yellowstone Pa&, the last
maor hike in the expedition. At
rust the group saw all the famous
sights, but these were a disap-
pointment, because, as Gay said
later, "There were too many tour-
ists, which ruined it." Then the
group went into the unpopulated
backcountry of Yellowstone,
which was completely different
and more interesting because of
the lack of tourists.
The last stop before going
home was made at Jackson HoIe,
the WV headquarters, where a big
banquet was given to the return-
ing groups.
Besides having a good time,
Gay feels that she got something
out of the expedition. "You
learn how to function in agroup.
You have to work for the group
and not for yourself. You also
learn about feology, ecology, and
the environment in general." Gay
added, "I didn't know these
places existed, and I didn't expect
them to be so pretty."
When asked if she would
recommend the WV program to
others, Gay responded strongly in
the affmative. "Most people
wouldn't think of doing anything
like this. It's just a great exper-

takes the f i shot out of the high
houre and the second shot out of
the k w house. On the f i , sec-
ond, sixth, and seventh stations,
those closest to the houses, a part-
icipant shoots a double. A double
is when two birds are released at
the same time and the shooter
hits both. It is not easy.
Like trap a total of twenty-
fwe shots are fired and a point
scored for each hit bird. The last
two shots are fued from the stat-
ion between houses.
Of the two games skeet is
tougher, because some shots need
to be lead and followed with the
gun more than others. At each
station there is an approximation
what to use as a lead.
Indian Hill has both skeet and
trap available at the Indian Hill
gunclub. The club is a non-profit
organization, but membership is
required. If you would like to

ience."
Greg went on the shorter, but
just as vigorous, July Rocky Mont
Mountain Expedition for the en-
tire month of July, 1981. Unlike
Gay, Greg had had some previous
backpacking experience but he
still found the trip to be a chal-
lenge. Greg first travelled to
Jackson Hole, where he met the
others in his group and received
his supplies and instruction in
their use. There were twenty-two
participants and four counselors
in his group.
The expedition was divided
into three main trips with short
sto@ at places in between. The
first major hike was in the
Yellowstone Park backcountry.
Like Gay, Greg was unimpressed
by Old Faithful. "Lone Star
Geyser (in the backcountry) was
much better because it was se-
cluded. It was on an old horse
trait."
After six days in Yellowstone,
Greg's group made a three or four
day ride to Spanish Peaks Nation-
al Forest in Montana. In the six
days there, the group encountered
more wildlife and did more rock-
climbing. Greg had the strange
experience of being caught in a
thunderstorm while on top of
mountain, within the thunder-
clouds. Apart from the tremen-
dous amount of noise, Greg was
amazed by the fact that "the
weather shifted a lot faster than it

had come upon the froup where
there had been sunny skies only
about fifteen minutes earlier.
For the next trip the group
came back together (they had
been in groups of six or seven
during the fust parts of the ex-
pedition) for whitewater rafting
down the Colorado River. They
also did some rockclimbing alo?g
the route. On this trip the parti-
cipants could take "luxuries", like
cans of pop, but they still always
pitched tent in the wilderness.
L
From the Colorado, Greg rode t o .
Salt Lake City for the flight
home. About the return home,
Greg remarked, "It was strange
coming back here after being at
high altitudes."
Greg got involved in the WV
program because he was "just
looking for something t o do that
summer. It just caught my atten-
tion." When asked how he liked
the expedition, Greg responded
similarly to Gay: "It was great."
Greg also felt he got some
thing lasting form the program.
"I made a whole bunch of new
friends. It was the first time I had
gone west; I learned a lot about
different teoitories?'
Greg had mixed feelings about
recommending WV to others. "It
wouldn't be for everybody. We
had tough times. You always had
to do your share for the group."

The high school Distributive
Education Club is sponsoring its
tenth annual Little World store at
the Camargo Station during
December.
The project, which is operated
by DECA students and their
sponsor, Mr. James Benken,
opened December 4 and will run
through today. The store's hours
are 3-8 p.m. on weekdays and 12-
5p.m. on weekends.
Little World is designed to give
young shoppers a store where
they are able to buy gifts for their
parents. The price range runs
from $.50 to $5.00. However,
Benken states that 85% of the
items are priced between $1.50
and $3.00.
The gifts which the DECA
students will be selling have either
been denoted or purchased by
DECA. Benken added that the
items bought were on consign-
ment, so DECA will be able to re-
turn any unused gifts.
Besides its design for the
youngsters, Little World also gives
DECA students a place for on-the-
job experience in the merchand-
ising market. By working at

they have learned in class.
All juniors involved with
DECA must work twelve and one-
half or more total hours at Little
World. Their effort, states
Benken, will be graded and will
comprise twenty-five percent of
their second quarter grade. Sen-
ior DECA students, because of
their co-op programs, are encour-
aged to help only when possible.
The responsiblities of the stu-
dents involve not only working
with money and merchandise but
also with techniques of customer
assistance. The young shopper,
upon entering Little World, is
helped by a student who deter-
mines the child's budget and then
aids the shopper in choosing an
appropriate gift.
Other students then ring up
the sale and gift wrap the item for
the shopper. "Little World is
good because children can get
their Christmas shopping done,"
commented Junior DECA student
Cliff Wingerter.
Benken estimates the total
gross sales to be between $2500
and $3000 over the two week per-

Sycamore continued its hot
play in the second half as they
lifted their lead to 17 points. With
half the fourth quarter gone the
Braves started another charge, led
by Kriss Ashing, as they cut the
Aviator l e e *to ten points. The
Braves, however, were forced into
a must-foul situation as the
Aviators held .on for the victory.
The Braves, having outscored the

in that respect. However, the
scores by which Sycamore out-

this evening.
Four star of game honors,
based on all-around play, were
awarded at the Sycamore game.
Abrams shot the lights out, scor-
ing 15 points while making three
steals. Dave Davis also played
well, and he was one Brave whose
intensity was never in question.
He finished with 12 points and
four rebounds. In addition,
Ashing played well, coming off
the bench $to score eight points
while dishing out three assists,
and Jim Arnold earned a star with

The Bfaves went down to
Norwood Saturday, December 4.
Norwood, having lost by only 13
to Mt. Healthy, expected to beat
the smaller Braves. However, the
Braves, having gelled as a unit the
night before, were not about to
let the Indians walk away with
their first victory and held on t o
win, 54-53. Arnold continued his
hot shooting as Indian Hill
jumped out to a 12 point lead be-
fore going in at the half up by
eight.
Norwood caught fire in the
second half, while the pressure
shooting of Arnold, Bill Lange,
and Jim Morgan kept things tight.
Then, with less than three min-
utes in the game, Norwood
jumped ahead by four points.
Indian Hill finally pulled back
into the lead on two clutch free
throws by Arnold. Norwood re-
gained the lead, but then, with
less than a minute remaining,
Morgan put the Braves ahead to
stay, 5 2-5 1. On Norwood's next
trip down the floor, Ashing drew
an offensive foul, giving the ball
back to Indian HiLl. With seven
seconds left, Arnold hit what
proved to be the game winner as
Norwood called three time outs in
trying to shake his concentration.
Norwood hit the final basket, but
to no avail.
For the fust time this year,
double stars were awarded. The
first went to Arnold with 19
points, five rebounds, and three
assists. The other double went to
Morgan, with 16 points and 11
rebounds. Single stars were
awarded to Jay Kohls, Lange,
with eight crucial points, and Dan
Kremchek, with four points, three
rebounds. and two recoveries.
Indian Hill appeared ready for
redemption after an embarrassing
string of non-league defeats with a
league opening 73-62 victory over
the Deer Park Wildcats, Friday,
December 3. The Wildcats,
though, did not wish to cooper-
ate. The Braves, led by hot shoot-
ing Arnold and defensive standout
Kohls, traded baskets with Deer
Park for much of the first quarter
before coming away with a 19-15
lead.
The second period saw the
Braves turn on full go as they out-
scored their opponents 23-10,
going into the half up 42-25.
Much of the Braves large lead
was easily attributable to key
steals by Arnold and the much
improved Kremchek, as well as
the Braves strong inside play.
Davis, Kremcheck, and especially
Morgan played exceptionally well
inside, grabbing rebounds while
limiting the Wildcats to one shot
each time down the floor.
The Braves showed in the
third quarter that they would not
let victory number one slip away
as they outscored Deer Park, 12-
11. The Wildcats, led by Senior
Landon Block's 18 points, out-
scored the Braves 26-19 in the
final quarter in what was a case of
too little, too late.
The Braves victory was a team
effort, making it no suprise that
five Braves earned star of the
game awards. Arnold scored six-
teen points while dishing out six
assists. Arnold's running mate at
guard, Kohls, also earned a star
with a fine defensive effort in
addition to eight points, two
rebounds and five steals. The
remaining three stars went to
three Braves' big men: Morgan,
December 17,1982
Davis and Kremcheck. Morgan
backed up his 16 points with a
season high 13 rebounds, as wen
as 4 recoveries. Davis added ten
points, six rebounds, and an as-
sist, and the hot-shooting
Kremchek tallied three rebounds
and one steal to go with his ten
points.
The Braves were still hungry
for victory number one when
they faced the forest Park Char-
gers on November 30. After two
good days of practice, Indian Hill
felt ready to stop the equally
hungry Chargers unit. However,
win number one was not to come
on this night as the Chargers,
playing solid end to end basket-
ball, dispersed the Braves by a 77-
47 margin.
The only star awarded in this
game went to Kremcheck, with
13 points, four rebounds, two
recoveries, and one assist.
At this point things looked
bad for the Braves. Three games;
three losses. The only consola-
tion was that these games were
non-league.
The Braves second contest, at
Finneytown, provided another
early glimpse of how well the
Braves can play before they were
defeated, 60-5 1. They jumped
out to an early lead but soon
found themselves on the wrong
end of a 15-14 first quarter score.
The Wildcats, led by 5'10" for-
ward Allen Weiss's six first-half
rebounds, controlled the offensive
boards for most of the fnst half.
The Braves found themselves
down at the half by a seemingly
insurmountable 15 point lead.
In the second half, however,
Kohls became Weiss' shadow and
prevented any further board play
by the high-leaping forward. Up
to this point the only other bright
spot in the Braves' line-up was the
inside play of Davis.
The fourth quarter saw the
arrival of a rejuvenated Indian Hill
team. The Braves began chopping
at Finneytown's 19 point lead.
The Braves cut the Wildcat lead to
13 points on the strength of two
Arnold steals and a basket. Slow-
ly the Braves continued t o nLbble
at Finneytown's lead, cutting it to
11 points, then 9. The Wildcats,
however, survived the scare, as the
Braves came no closer than six
points. Though the Braves our-
scored their opponents 23-13 in
the fourth quarter, the Wildcats
still came away with the victory.

School prayer would
by Trip ~ d w a d s
A few Sundays ago I turned
on the T.V. to "The Old Time
Gospel Hour." The Reverend
Jerry Falwell and Senator Jesse
Helms were discussing the so-
called "school prayer" amend-
ment to the Constitution.
Senator Helms expressed how
hard he was working to get the
proposed amendment considered
and then Reverend Falwell made
a plug for a nifty bumper sticker
stating "Let Our Kids Pray." I
thought, "How could they institu-
tionalize religion?
Though this may appear to be
an overreaction to their cause, my
thought at the time was accurate
to what these two men and their
cohorts are trying to do. The
proposed amendment reads
"Nothing in this Constitution
shall be construed to prohibit
individual or group prayer in
public schools or other public
institutions. No person shall be
required by the United States or
by any State to participate."
At first glance this proposal

Holiday season time
Dear Students,
This past week there has been
a feeling of happiness, fellowship
and caring at the high school in
anticipation of the long awaited
winter recess. The elf auction,
holiday concerts, the Christmas
tree in the lobby, the exchanging
of gifts among friends, shopping
m the crowds, and hunting for
gifts we want to receive are all
activities which symbolize the
season.
More importantly, however,
the holiday season is a time of
reflection; a time to relax and
think about one's self, family,
religion and friends. It is a time
of peace - peace within one's self
as well as within society. It is a
time of sharing not only gifts,
but, more importantly, one's self.
It is a time of caring and making
3thers happy. It is a time of love.
We are all very proud of you
for having these qualities and yet,
I ask, why are these feelings so
pronounced at only one time
during the year? Wouldn't it be
great if the Christmas spirit
existed every day of our lives?
The feelings of joy,-aasfac-

question whether or not an ele-

without being affected by con-

There are some ninety reli-

States that have at least fifty-
thousand members. Many of
these groups have religious rituals
unfamiliar to most Americans.
Let us suppose that it is "vo-
luntary" prayer time in school
one day in a fifth grade class.
There are nineteen practitioners
of Western religions and one Zen
Buddhist, a survivor of the "boat
people" exodus from Vietnam.
Would his ritualistic practice of
dhyona (meditation) be accept-

likely that he would be teased
about his religious practices.
To gain acceptance he may
begin to conform to Western
modes of prayer thus compromis-

about it.

Mark Chapman has already re-

why write about it? I don't mean

that it is illegal for any individual
to pray or read his or her Bible in

is not hard to find a secluded

It is also true that the student
has eighteen hours outside of
school open for pursuit of re-

desires. From these two points
one may conclude that there are
logical compromises to the issue
of "voluntary prayer" without
the compromising of religious

When you are boxing, you are

And every boxer in the world
knows that.
Boxing is a great sport with
tradition that should be contin-

prove the sport is to get referees
with more insight into the game.
Who knows what will happen if
they don't stop the fight when
necessary.
A lot of people will continue
to say that boxing should be

It is , after all, a free world.

lHer talks to Pat Metheney G r o u p bassist
by Peter Carr
The Pat Metheney Group has
sold more records than any jazz
group in a long time.
The reason for this commer-
cial success is impossible to pin-
point, but the listenable quality
of the combo plays a substantial
part.
I had the pleasure of eating
Thanksgiving dinner with the bass
player, Steve Rodby, of the band
and collected enough information
regarding Steve and the group to
write this article.
Although Steve has only been
with the Pat Metheney Group for
years, he is no stranger to the
band. In his teens, Steve attended
a summer jazz camp where he
played with all of the members of
the band, save Nana Vasconcelos.
Steve commented that the
band at that point had a certain
feel to it, and he assumed some-
thing would come of it.

Steve eventually did get this

the new member of the Pat

With Steve, the band cut their

Then there are the moral ques-

high school students be allowed
to play God? And what of the
flagrant cruelty to the fruitflies.
What if someone forced you to
breed against your will and then
took you out and dumped you in

There have been reports of other
abuses, as well. Without disclos-
ing names, some members of the
class have been knowingly letting
flies go so that they can be
hunted down like so much wild
game. Stories of taxidermy and
flies mounted on the wall have
also leaked out.
But why haven't we heard of
these atrocities before? Has the
community and the administra-
tion lost control of IH's science
department? Perhaps, like the
rest of us, they are unaware df
these problems. And what of
Wayne Fricke, the man respons-

hopeless fruitflies? We can only
pray that society will do ,its part
and let justice be served.
PAT, from p. 7
Most seniors at IH are shaping
college plans, and Pat is no dif-
ferent. She has applied to U.C,
Miami and Ohio State, but is still
looking. "I want to get away
from here, but deep down inside,
I don't want to go too far," ex-
plains Pat. "I know where home
is."
Right now, home is where Pat
does her sleeping, her homework,
her rapping on her private line
and home is where Ebony, her
purple tongued, "crazy" Chinese
Chou lives. But Pat isn't without
goals outside the home. Since
eighth grade she has wanted to be
a lawyer and has considered being
an architect. But that too is un-
important according to Pat.
To summarize, if you were t o
listen to Pat, you might get the
impression she's a boring person.
But as many of her friends and
aquaintances will tell you and I've
tried to illustrate (with little co-
operation from Pat), she is far
from boring.

Led Zepp lin resurrected on viny with 'Coda'
by Chris Blanchard
Led Zeppelin, still one of rock

Coda is a collection of seven unre-

an old Zeppelin track.
If one were to listen to the al-

credits, one would probably as-

somewhere after 1976.
This is not quite the case, as
the oldest track dates back to
June of 1969, the days of the first
Zep album.
Another nice thing about
Coda is that most of the songs
could have been commercial suc-
cesses if they had been released
prior to recording as perhaps 45's.
The oldest song on this disc,
"We're Gonna Groove" recorded
in 1969, is a fast paced piece.

departed from the band to pursue
a solo career, so Collins, being the
obvious replacement, assumed the
position and has since been a
major factor in the group's suc-
cess.
Aside from his part in Genesis,
Collins in recent years has begun a
very successful solo career. His
first solo album, Face Values, as
well as being one of the top sell-
ing albums of 1981, featured two
hit singles, "I Missed Again," and
"In the Air Tonight."
Collins' latest solo release,
Page manages to play about every
note possible on the guitar.
The next song, "Poor Tom," is
reminiscent of most of the music
on Led Zeppelin III, also recorded
in 1970. Notice the bluesy,
melancholic, ramblin-ondown
quality with which Mr. Page
plays his acoustic guitar.
This sound is to be found on
side B of Zep III, and sides three
and four of Physical Graffiti.
"I Can't Quit You Baby," a
soul-blues tune first done on Led
Zeppelin I, is nicely recreated on
Coda. This live version is a re-
cording of a sound check before
one of their concerts in Britain
in 1970.
This is Led Zeppelin playing
to an empty coliseum. The na-
tural -reverberations are not ab-
sorbed by many tens of thousands
of ruckus-causing concert goers,
adding the much needed intensity
which this song lacks on the
studio version.
The one track of Coda which
has been receiving airplay in
Hello, I must be going!, is a clear
follow-up to Face Values, for it is
of the same high standard of
quality and abstract meaning.
Of the ten songs on the album
the only one I have any com-
plaints about is the first single
"You Can't Hurry Love." This
song which is a remake of the
Supremes' hit is quite good, but
when it is compared to the other
songs on the album it appears to
be a bit out of place.
The most notable songs on
side one are "I Don't Care Any-
Cincy town is "Darlene." A nice
piece, but it belonged on In
7hrough the Out Door.
The award for the crankin'est
tune on the album goes to
L L B ~ n zMontreaux,"
~'~ a drum
and synthesizer duetljam. This
song is the finest drum solo by
the late John "Bonzo" Bonham.
This tune needs, or rather
deserves to be played at an ex-
tremely loud level, otherwise one
would not feel the effect of the
doublebass drums.
This solo blows away Bonzo's
drum solo on The Song Remains
the Same and could edge out
some of the material done by Neil
Peart, percussionist for Rush.
Coda, Led Zeppelin's new al-
bum of previously unreleased
material, should do well on the
"Top 100 Album Chart." Per-
sonally, I detest this dubious
chart of "popular music," but
Coda should prove t o be a mild
commercial success, offering
everyone something they can sink
their teeth into.
December 17,1982
more," "1 Can Not Believe It's
True," and "Like China." Each
of these songs help reveal another
facet of Collins' talent, such as
the use of drum solos and a horn
section.
As on Face Values Collins uses
the talents of the Earth, Wind,
and Fire horn selection. They
appear on the songs "I Can Not
Believe It's True," and "It Don't
Matter to Me," both of which are
superb.
Collins' most forcefull drum-
ming is used on "I Don't Care
Anymore" and "Like China."
This definitely adds to these
tunes, for it is unusual for drums
to predominate as they do in
these two songs.
Side two, for the most part
reveals the emotional side of
Collins. Songs like "Thru These
Walls," "Don't Let Him Steal
Your Heart Away," and "Why
Can't It Wait Til Morning," show
a part of Phil Collins that has
never been portrayed in Genesis.
These songs are slow ballads
featuring Collins on keyboards
and piano; they are somewhat
comparable to "If Leaving is
Easy" and "You Know What I
Mean" from Face Values.
Hello, I Must be Going! is a
great album, and will most likely
be a sales success, as i t is already
the 13th top selling album in the
country. The only aspect of the
album that could possibly hinder
its success is the involved thought
behind Collins' work. If many of
the songs are not listened to
closely, their meanings may not
be understood.
So for those who enjoy Black
Sabbath at high volume or wor-
ship the entire ACIDC catalog,
don't waste the time listening to
this one.

Wehmann flying high as Indian
by Kurt Dusterberg
Athletic Director Carol Weh-
mann has a way of making you
believe that she is "very happy"
with her job and her life.
At age 38, Wehmann is Indian
Hill's varsity field hockey coach, a
gym teacher for 3 periods per day
day, and the athletic director.
She had her doubts when she was
named Athletic Director in 1980,
but now she enjoys the challenge.
"I was a little apprehensive,
because it is a male dominated
profession," Wehmann admitted.
"I had never really wanted to do
it, and I wasn't sure how people
would react. I think it comes as a
surprise to the boys that I'm not
just a woman who doesn't know
anything about sports.
"It's really a challenge for me.
There is always something You
can do for the Program to make it
better. I think I got in a rut as
the head of the P.E. department,
but there is absolutely nothing
routine about being an Athletic
Director."

Wehmann hopes to be air-
borne again this summer as well
as to travel to Maine, probably by
more conventional means of
transportation. She travels to
different parts of the country
every year and has now been
across the country four times.
When she has the opportunity,
Wehmann's time is lovingly de-
voted to her sister's two children,
whom she calls "the apples of my
eye'' with an ear-toear grin. She
also enjoys caring for her two
schnauzers, C.J. and Cinders.
Despite all this, conversation
seldom strays far from Indian
Hill. She seems to find a logical
perspective for all of her re-
sponsibilities, and she values the
character development through
both the physical education and
athletic programs. Both,
Wehmann says, "can be as
valuable as what goes on in the
classroom.
"It is important to look for a
goood role model in coaches.
Wins and losses are not the num-
ber one thing to look at, but rath-
er what does the game do for the
kids. I t should help you grow in
some way even though you may
not think about it until later in
life."
Coaching field hockey has
been Wehrnann's "most rewarding
experience on a year-to-year
basis" at Indian Hill. She also has
coached tennis, volleyball, soft-
ball and basketball at Indian Hill.
So in all this time at Indian
Hill as a coach of field hockey
teams in the state tournament, a
gym teacher, and a third year
woman athletic director, what is
her favorite experience?
"Probably the time I was
teaching an exercise class and a l l
of a sudden the girls tied me up
with a jumprope."
I t took Wehmann quite a
while, manipulating a rubberband
about her fingers, before arriving
at the three words that describe
herself best: organized, caring,
and stubborn. "If I had to
change any it would be stubborn.
If I want something, I don't give
up on it very easily."
So don't be surprised of she
attains her career goal of athletic
administration at the college level
"and maybe teaching majors in
physical education." But, for
right now, Carol Wehmann is soar-
ing at a satifying altitude at
Indian Hill.
"I sure hope I've done something
for the kids here. I know they
have done something for me."

senior sketch
Lawrence is in control here
by John Lilly
Lawrence Gallant is not, nor
has hi: ever been, a passive entity.
"At the age of one, I forced my
parents to move from Livingston,
New Jersey, to Cincinnati."
And he's been forcing people
to do things ever since. "If you
ask anyone in Pep Band, they'll
probably tell you I'm an un-
reasonable tyrant."
The lad is certainly power
hungry. Not only is he conductor
of "the best pep band in the
world," he is also codriving force
behind the one and only Model
U.N. Club.
"I do as much as I can to keep
from getting lazy," he explains.
"It gets fun when you're so busy
that you start getting delirious."
It is a wonder that Lawrence is
not walking around in a constant
stupor, in that case. He is a
member of jazz band, EHL
Honors band, and plays second-
chair trumpet in the IHHS band.
In addition, he plays in the high
school orchestra and in the
Charter Oak Stationary Concert
Marching Band.
Why does he enjoy hurting
himself with the trumpet? Is it
that he likes to feel his lips bleed?
How did he get messed up in all
of this stuff, anyhow?
Pat is not excited at the prospect of getting her picture taken.
CHIEFTAIN
'Name the three instruments
you'd like to play.' I put down
trumpet, clarinet, and flute, be-
cause they were the only three
whose names I knew."
Lawrence has since skyrock-
eted to Brass Hall of I'arne status,
although he seems always to be
playing second trumpet to one
man. "Fred Goosman will be
dead by the end of the year," he
says of his musical arch-rival.
Key Club and National Honor
Society add to Lawrence's list of
stuff. "Key Club is fun . . . you
just help people out; it's no big
deal." He also fills a huge gap on
Chieftain production nights in his
role as rejuvenation editor.
This is not to imply that
everything is hunkydory in the
extracurricular world of
Lawrence Gallant. The canning
of "It's Academic" this year
leaves him no recourse for last
year's depressing loss to Boone
County. "I'm like a professional
football running back who has
lost the use of his legs."
Another distressing develop-
ment in Lawrence's life of late is
the gradual invasion of ducks in
his house's interior design. Asked
to comment, he can only babble
incoherently, "Ducks! Where do
they go?"

listening to music - The Beatles,

"just about anything else I listen

He appreciates good humor,
too, especially George Carlin.
Programming his Apple I1 is
another of Lawrence's hobbies.
senior sketch
Pat wants to go home
by Richard Stradling
Let's get one thing straight;
doing a senior sketch on Pat
Brantley is no easy task.
You see, Pat's the kind of per-
son who hates getting her picture
taken and hates answering ques-
tions about herself, which poses a
small problem. But, after a few
"I-wanna-go-home's" and "Idon't
believe-yourdoing-this," she set-
tled down. This interview came,
however, with the warning that I
was endangering our friendship.
Beginning at the beginning,
Pat was born. Five years later she
entered her first kindergarten
class at Concord which makes her
a member of the illustrious thir-
teen-year club. Of this, Pat
merely states, "Too long."
Somewhere along her devel-
opment, Pat joined the band as a
flute player. What she didn't
know was that she would some-

hungry enough to pull it off.
day be the principle cymbal play-
er for the award winning IH
marching band. Further along,
she joined the track team as a
sprinter and more recently a hurd-
ler. But neither fact is important
according to Pat, whose modesty
can't help but show. Don't
bother asking about the honor-
able mention she recieved in State
Industrial Arts competition; she
probably won't tell you either.
What does Pat Brantley d o in
her spare time? "Sleep" was Pat's
initial response, but further dis-
cussion revealed that Pat is often
on the phone with her latest beau,
Hiawatha Fransisco who is
Moeller's star running back and
whose name has appeared in the
papers on numerous occasions.
But that too is unimportant ac-
cording to Pat.

senior sketch
Pat wants to go home
by Richard Stradling
Let's get one thing straight;
doing a senior sketch on Pat
Brantley is no easy task.
You see, Pat's the kind of per-
son who hates getting her picture
taken and hates answering ques-
tions about herself, which poses a
small problem. But, after a few
"I-wanna-go-home's" and "Idon't
believe-yourdoing-this," she set-
tled down. This interview came,
however, with the warning that I
was endangering our friendship.
Beginning at the beginning,
Pat was born. Five years later she
entered her first kindergarten
class at Concord which makes her
a member of the illustrious thir-
teen-year club. Of this, Pat
merely states, "Too long."
Somewhere along her devel-
opment, Pat joined the band as a
flute player. What she didn't
know was that she would some-

day be the principle cymbal play-
er for the award winning IH
marching band. Further along,
she joined the track team as a
sprinter and more recently a hurd-
ler. But neither fact is important
according to Pat, whose modesty
can't help but show. Don't
bother asking about the honor-
able mention she recieved in State
Industrial Arts competition; she
probably won't tell you either.
What does Pat Brantley d o in
her spare time? "Sleep" was Pat's
initial response, but further dis-
cussion revealed that Pat is often
on the phone with her latest beau,
Hiawatha Fransisco who is
Moeller's star running back and
whose name has appeared in the
papers on numerous occasions.
But that too is unimportant ac-
cording to Pat.

disc revi e w
New Collins not for ACIDC fans
by Elbie Herman
Phil Collins began his musical
career with a group called
Flaming Youth, which in 1969
released one unsuccessful album
called Ark 2.
In 1972 he joined the group
Genesis as the drummer for their
album Nursery Crymes.
For the next two years Collins
remained the group's drummer
and occasional vocalist, but in
1974 after the release of Lamb
Lies Down On Broadway, the
group's lead vocalist Peter Gabriel
disc review
Led Zepp lin resurrected on viny with 'Coda'
by Chris Blanchard
Led Zeppelin, still one of rock
music's premier bands, has just re-
leased their new album, Coda.
Coda is a collection of seven unre-
leased tunes plus a live version of
an old Zeppelin track.
If one were to listen to the al-
bum without first reading the
credits, one would probably as-
sume that the songs were written
somewhere after 1976.
This is not quite the case, as
the oldest track dates back to
June of 1969, the days of the first
Zep album.
Another nice thing about
Coda is that most of the songs
could have been commercial suc-
cesses if they had been released
prior to recording as perhaps 45's.
The oldest song on this disc,
"We're Gonna Groove" recorded
in 1969, is a fast paced piece.
Bassist John Paul Jones and late
drummer John Bonham again

rhythmic foundation. From this

departed from the band to pursue
a solo career, so Collins, being the
obvious replacement, assumed the
position and has since been a
major factor in the group's suc-
cess.
Aside from his part in Genesis,
Collins in recent years has begun a
very successful solo career. His
first solo album, Face Values, as
well as being one of the top sell-
ing albums of 1981, featured two
hit singles, "I Missed Again," and
"In the Air Tonight."
Collins' latest solo release,
Page manages to play about every
note possible on the guitar.
The next song, "Poor Tom," is
reminiscent of most of the music
on Led Zeppelin III, also recorded
in 1970. Notice the bluesy,
melancholic, ramblin-ondown
quality with which Mr. Page
plays his acoustic guitar.
This sound is to be found on
side B of Zep III, and sides three
and four of Physical Graffiti.
"I Can't Quit You Baby," a
soul-blues tune first done on Led
Zeppelin I, is nicely recreated on
Coda. This live version is a re-
cording of a sound check before
one of their concerts in Britain
in 1970.
This is Led Zeppelin playing
to an empty coliseum. The na-
tural -reverberations are not ab-
sorbed by many tens of thousands
of ruckus-causing concert goers,
adding the much needed intensity
which this song lacks on the
studio version.
The one track of Coda which
has been receiving airplay in
Hello, I must be going!, is a clear
follow-up to Face Values, for it is
of the same high standard of
quality and abstract meaning.
Of the ten songs on the album
the only one I have any com-
plaints about is the first single
"You Can't Hurry Love." This
song which is a remake of the
Supremes' hit is quite good, but
when it is compared to the other
songs on the album it appears to
be a bit out of place.
The most notable songs on
side one are "I Don't Care Any-
Cincy town is "Darlene." A nice
piece, but it belonged on In
7hrough the Out Door.
The award for the crankin'est
tune on the album goes to
L L B ~ n zMontreaux,"
~'~ a drum
and synthesizer duetljam. This
song is the finest drum solo by
the late John "Bonzo" Bonham.
This tune needs, or rather
deserves to be played at an ex-
tremely loud level, otherwise one
would not feel the effect of the
doublebass drums.
This solo blows away Bonzo's
drum solo on The Song Remains
the Same and could edge out
some of the material done by Neil
Peart, percussionist for Rush.
Coda, Led Zeppelin's new al-
bum of previously unreleased
material, should do well on the
"Top 100 Album Chart." Per-
sonally, I detest this dubious
chart of "popular music," but
Coda should prove t o be a mild
commercial success, offering
everyone something they can sink
their teeth into.
December 17,1982
more," "1 Can Not Believe It's
True," and "Like China." Each
of these songs help reveal another
facet of Collins' talent, such as
the use of drum solos and a horn
section.
As on Face Values Collins uses
the talents of the Earth, Wind,
and Fire horn selection. They
appear on the songs "I Can Not
Believe It's True," and "It Don't
Matter to Me," both of which are
superb.
Collins' most forcefull drum-
ming is used on "I Don't Care
Anymore" and "Like China."
This definitely adds to these
tunes, for it is unusual for drums
to predominate as they do in
these two songs.
Side two, for the most part
reveals the emotional side of
Collins. Songs like "Thru These
Walls," "Don't Let Him Steal
Your Heart Away," and "Why
Can't It Wait Til Morning," show
a part of Phil Collins that has
never been portrayed in Genesis.
These songs are slow ballads
featuring Collins on keyboards
and piano; they are somewhat
comparable to "If Leaving is
Easy" and "You Know What I
Mean" from Face Values.
Hello, I Must be Going! is a
great album, and will most likely
be a sales success, as i t is already
the 13th top selling album in the
country. The only aspect of the
album that could possibly hinder
its success is the involved thought
behind Collins' work. If many of
the songs are not listened to
closely, their meanings may not
be understood.
So for those who enjoy Black
Sabbath at high volume or wor-
ship the entire ACIDC catalog,
don't waste the time listening to
this one.

lHer talks to Pat Metheney G r o u p bassist
by Peter Carr
The Pat Metheney Group has
sold more records than any jazz
group in a long time.
The reason for this commer-
cial success is impossible to pin-
point, but the listenable quality
of the combo plays a substantial
part.
I had the pleasure of eating
Thanksgiving dinner with the bass
player, Steve Rodby, of the band
and collected enough information
regarding Steve and the group to
write this article.
Although Steve has only been
with the Pat Metheney Group for
years, he is no stranger to the
band. In his teens, Steve attended
a summer jazz camp where he
played with all of the members of
the band, save Nana Vasconcelos.
Steve commented that the
band at that point had a certain
feel to it, and he assumed some-
thing would come of it.

western University Steve became

teasing him about his occupation
and advising him to "get a real

Steve eventually did get this
job, for Pat Metheney's bass

auditioned and was accepted as
the new member of the Pat
Metheney Group.
With Steve, the band cut their
latest album Offramp and have

(60 dates in 66 days).
The band recently ended their
latest tour in New York but will
be embarking for another in

The overtime went back and
forth until Milford scored with

shot by Ott was just off, and the

The Braves lost another close

December 9. IH surged in the
fourth quarter, but a last-second
free throw left the Braves one

with 14 points.
IH was on the wrong end of

the Braves' scoring with 21

could the school, and the world

formation of a superior race of
fruitflies? Who benefits from
increased fruit destruction? Cer-
tainly not you nor I.
Then there are the moral ques-
tions. Should a small group of
high school students be allowed
to play God? And what of the
flagrant cruelty to the fruitflies.
What if someone forced you to
breed against your will and then
took you out and dumped you in
oil? You wouldn't like it, eh?
There have been reports of other
abuses, as well. Without disclos-
ing names, some members of the
class have been knowingly letting
flies go so that they can be
hunted down like so much wild
game. Stories of taxidermy and
flies mounted on the wall have
also leaked out.
But why haven't we heard of
these atrocities before? Has the
community and the administra-
tion lost control of IH's science
department? Perhaps, like the
rest of us, they are unaware df
these problems. And what of
Wayne Fricke, the man respons-
ible for letting ten high school
student play God to over 300
hopeless fruitflies? We can only
pray that society will do ,its part
and let justice be served.
PAT, from p. 7
Most seniors at IH are shaping
college plans, and Pat is no dif-
ferent. She has applied to U.C,
Miami and Ohio State, but is still
looking. "I want to get away
from here, but deep down inside,
I don't want to go too far," ex-
plains Pat. "I know where home
is."
Right now, home is where Pat
does her sleeping, her homework,
her rapping on her private line
and home is where Ebony, her
purple tongued, "crazy" Chinese
Chou lives. But Pat isn't without
goals outside the home. Since
eighth grade she has wanted to be
a lawyer and has considered being
an architect. But that too is un-
important according to Pat.
To summarize, if you were t o
listen to Pat, you might get the
impression she's a boring person.
But as many of her friends and
aquaintances will tell you and I've
tried to illustrate (with little co-
operation from Pat), she is far
from boring.

Sycamore took advantage of a
Braves' second quarter let down
as junior forward Sam Kobb
scored twelve points for the

addition, Sycamore got consistent
guard play and took 33-27 lead
into the locker room at halftime.
Sycamore continued its hot
play in the second half as they
lifted their lead to 17 points. With

Braves started another charge, led
by Kriss Ashing, as they cut the

two quarters were too much on
this evening.
Four star of game honors,
based on all-around play, were
awarded at the Sycamore game.
Abrams shot the lights out, scor-
ing 15 points while making three
steals. Dave Davis also played
well, and he was one Brave whose
intensity was never in question.
He finished with 12 points and
four rebounds. In addition,
Ashing played well, coming off

while dishing out three assists,

The Bfaves went down to
Norwood Saturday, December 4.
Norwood, having lost by only 13
to Mt. Healthy, expected to beat
the smaller Braves. However, the
Braves, having gelled as a unit the
night before, were not about to
let the Indians walk away with
their first victory and held on t o
win, 54-53. Arnold continued his
hot shooting as Indian Hill
jumped out to a 12 point lead be-
fore going in at the half up by
eight.
Norwood caught fire in the
second half, while the pressure
shooting of Arnold, Bill Lange,
and Jim Morgan kept things tight.
Then, with less than three min-
utes in the game, Norwood
jumped ahead by four points.
Indian Hill finally pulled back
into the lead on two clutch free
throws by Arnold. Norwood re-
gained the lead, but then, with
less than a minute remaining,
Morgan put the Braves ahead to
stay, 5 2-5 1. On Norwood's next
trip down the floor, Ashing drew
an offensive foul, giving the ball
back to Indian HiLl. With seven
seconds left, Arnold hit what
proved to be the game winner as
Norwood called three time outs in
trying to shake his concentration.
Norwood hit the final basket, but
to no avail.
For the fust time this year,
double stars were awarded. The
first went to Arnold with 19
points, five rebounds, and three
assists. The other double went to
Morgan, with 16 points and 11
rebounds. Single stars were
awarded to Jay Kohls, Lange,
with eight crucial points, and Dan
Kremchek, with four points, three
rebounds. and two recoveries.
Indian Hill appeared ready for
redemption after an embarrassing
string of non-league defeats with a
league opening 73-62 victory over
the Deer Park Wildcats, Friday,
December 3. The Wildcats,
though, did not wish to cooper-
ate. The Braves, led by hot shoot-
ing Arnold and defensive standout
Kohls, traded baskets with Deer
Park for much of the first quarter
before coming away with a 19-15
lead.
The second period saw the
Braves turn on full go as they out-
scored their opponents 23-10,
going into the half up 42-25.
Much of the Braves large lead
was easily attributable to key
steals by Arnold and the much
improved Kremchek, as well as
the Braves strong inside play.
Davis, Kremcheck, and especially
Morgan played exceptionally well
inside, grabbing rebounds while
limiting the Wildcats to one shot
each time down the floor.
The Braves showed in the
third quarter that they would not
let victory number one slip away
as they outscored Deer Park, 12-
11. The Wildcats, led by Senior
Landon Block's 18 points, out-
scored the Braves 26-19 in the
final quarter in what was a case of
too little, too late.
The Braves victory was a team
effort, making it no suprise that
five Braves earned star of the
game awards. Arnold scored six-
teen points while dishing out six
assists. Arnold's running mate at
guard, Kohls, also earned a star
with a fine defensive effort in
addition to eight points, two
rebounds and five steals. The
remaining three stars went to
three Braves' big men: Morgan,
December 17,1982
Davis and Kremcheck. Morgan
backed up his 16 points with a
season high 13 rebounds, as wen
as 4 recoveries. Davis added ten
points, six rebounds, and an as-
sist, and the hot-shooting
Kremchek tallied three rebounds
and one steal to go with his ten
points.
The Braves were still hungry
for victory number one when
they faced the forest Park Char-
gers on November 30. After two
good days of practice, Indian Hill
felt ready to stop the equally
hungry Chargers unit. However,
win number one was not to come
on this night as the Chargers,
playing solid end to end basket-
ball, dispersed the Braves by a 77-
47 margin.
The only star awarded in this
game went to Kremcheck, with
13 points, four rebounds, two
recoveries, and one assist.
At this point things looked
bad for the Braves. Three games;
three losses. The only consola-
tion was that these games were
non-league.
The Braves second contest, at
Finneytown, provided another
early glimpse of how well the
Braves can play before they were
defeated, 60-5 1. They jumped
out to an early lead but soon
found themselves on the wrong
end of a 15-14 first quarter score.
The Wildcats, led by 5'10" for-
ward Allen Weiss's six first-half
rebounds, controlled the offensive
boards for most of the fnst half.
The Braves found themselves
down at the half by a seemingly
insurmountable 15 point lead.
In the second half, however,
Kohls became Weiss' shadow and
prevented any further board play
by the high-leaping forward. Up
to this point the only other bright
spot in the Braves' line-up was the
inside play of Davis.
The fourth quarter saw the
arrival of a rejuvenated Indian Hill
team. The Braves began chopping
at Finneytown's 19 point lead.
The Braves cut the Wildcat lead to
13 points on the strength of two
Arnold steals and a basket. Slow-
ly the Braves continued t o nLbble
at Finneytown's lead, cutting it to
11 points, then 9. The Wildcats,
however, survived the scare, as the
Braves came no closer than six
points. Though the Braves our-
scored their opponents 23-13 in
the fourth quarter, the Wildcats
still came away with the victory.

School prayer would
by Trip ~ d w a d s
A few Sundays ago I turned
on the T.V. to "The Old Time
Gospel Hour." The Reverend
Jerry Falwell and Senator Jesse
Helms were discussing the so-
called "school prayer" amend-
ment to the Constitution.
Senator Helms expressed how
hard he was working to get the
proposed amendment considered
and then Reverend Falwell made
a plug for a nifty bumper sticker
stating "Let Our Kids Pray." I
thought, "How could they institu-
tionalize religion?
Though this may appear to be
an overreaction to their cause, my
thought at the time was accurate
to what these two men and their
cohorts are trying to do. The
proposed amendment reads
"Nothing in this Constitution
shall be construed to prohibit
individual or group prayer in
public schools or other public
institutions. No person shall be
required by the United States or
by any State to participate."
At first glance this proposal
seems fair enough by allowing the

Holiday season time
Dear Students,
This past week there has been
a feeling of happiness, fellowship
and caring at the high school in
anticipation of the long awaited
winter recess. The elf auction,
holiday concerts, the Christmas
tree in the lobby, the exchanging
of gifts among friends, shopping
m the crowds, and hunting for
gifts we want to receive are all
activities which symbolize the
season.
More importantly, however,
the holiday season is a time of
reflection; a time to relax and
think about one's self, family,
religion and friends. It is a time
of peace - peace within one's self
as well as within society. It is a
time of sharing not only gifts,
but, more importantly, one's self.
It is a time of caring and making
3thers happy. It is a time of love.
We are all very proud of you
for having these qualities and yet,
I ask, why are these feelings so
pronounced at only one time
during the year? Wouldn't it be
great if the Christmas spirit
existed every day of our lives?
The feelings of joy,-aasfac-

question whether or not an ele-

without being affected by con-

There are some ninety reli-
gious organizations in the United
States that have at least fifty-
thousand members. Many of
these groups have religious rituals
unfamiliar to most Americans.
Let us suppose that it is "vo-
luntary" prayer time in school
one day in a fifth grade class.
There are nineteen practitioners
of Western religions and one Zen
Buddhist, a survivor of the "boat
people" exodus from Vietnam.
Would his ritualistic practice of
dhyona (meditation) be accept-
able by the rest of the class? It is
likely that he would be teased
about his religious practices.
To gain acceptance he may
begin to conform to Western
modes of prayer thus compromis-

about it.

It is also true that the student

one may conclude that there are
logical compromises to the issue

When you are boxing, you are

That's the name of the game. It's
your job to knock the other guy
out, before he does it to you.
And every boxer in the world
knows that.
Boxing is a great sport with
tradition that should be contin-
ued. What we could do to im-
prove the sport is to get referees
with more insight into the game.
Who knows what will happen if
they don't stop the fight when
necessary.
A lot of people will continue
to say that boxing should be
stopped. That is totally wrong.
It is , after all, a free world.

Reverend Father Richard J.
Connelly has been in pro football
for nearly 40 years and he is still a
starter every Sunday for the Cin-
cinnati Bengals. You might call
him the Bengals' altarback or
maybe the "knows" guard.
Father Connelly has been the
Bengals' team chaplain and coun-
sellor for 14 years and served 26
years with the Cleveland Browns
before that. He met Paul Brown
in 1946 through Clevelqnd kicker
Lou "The Toe" Groza and be-
came the first professional team
chaplain.
With the Bengals, Father
Connelly finds his primary role is
that of listening and giving advice
to the players year-to-year, the
problems are similar, he says.
"They aren't sure of their job,
they want to know whether they
should buy a home or an apart-
ment, or whether they should
bring their wives or leave them at
home. It's a big question because
if you last fnre years, that's about
the average."
Father Cormelly feeIs he is
easily received by the players and
has their respect. "I'm educated
more and .I'm older than any of
them, so I have that advantage,"
he chuckled.
"Players want to share their
problems with someone not in a
uniform. They don't want to tell
another player their problems.
Really religion doesn't have any-
thing to do with it; everyone has
problems and if they want free
advice from someone with experi-
ence, they can come to me."

The Indian Hill varsity

The meet, held at Ross High

Hill defeated Finneytown, 53-21,
but they lost two very close
matches to Ross, 35-27, and
Monroe, 42-36.
Coaches Ron Webber and Jim

matches were a good beginning of
the season for such a young team.
Webber noted, "It was a good

and spends his time pacing the
sidelines during the game "check-
ing up on injured players and see-

The team chaplain feels his
purpose is t o help the team's
morale. Father Connelly says he
faces the same problems with
players today as he saw as a major
in the Chaplain Corps in World
War 11, 'where he received five
Bafile Stars, a Bronze Star and a
Silver Star. "Sometimes the prob-

O gain appreciation
venturing into wilderness
by Paul Monach
Increasing worry concerning
polution, nuclear power, and
industrial expansion has brought
about a greater awareness of the
state of our environment.
Many movements have been
made across the country to pre-
serve and appreciate the untainted
wilderness that still remains in na-
tional parks, forests, and wildlife
preserves. Wilderness Ventures is
one of several programs developed
in the past ten or twelve years in
order to teach young people how
to best appreciate America's
vanishing wilderness with a learn-
ing-bydoing approach.
The Wilderness Ventures pro-
gram, open to a l l aged 14 through
18, currently consists of twelve
different summer expeditions in
the American West ranging in cost
from $990 to $2050. The various
programs include, among others,
the Northwest expedition, several
Rocky Mountain expeditions, and
bicycling expeditions. The par-
ticipants always camp outdoors
and prepare the food themselves.
The emphasis in most of the pro-
grams is on backpacking and rock
climbing skills, and some expedi-
tions include snow climbing and
whitewater rafting. According to
the Wilderness Ventures expedi-
tion information booklet, the
trips are "physically and psycho-

logically challenging but well

emphasizes that the programs are
suitable for both the beginner and
the experienced backpacker.
Two of several local teenagers
who have participated in Wilder-
ness Ventures are Indian Hill High
School sophomores Gay Stauft
and Greg Meyers.
Gay went on the Northwest
expedition, the most popular WV
program, from July 1 to August
16 this past summer. This con-
sisted of six major backcountry
trips with many brief interim
stops in such places as the Snake
River Country, the McKenzie
Lava Flows, Earthquake Lake,
and Old Faithful.
Gay learned about the pro-
gram from a letter in the mail,
which invited her to view a slide
show at Cincinnati Country Club.
She finally decided to apply
"because it was different," and
she was accepted into the North-
west expedition.
Gay began her trip with a
plane ride to Denver, where she
and all the other participants
from around the country were
met by the trip leaders. They

tain National Park, where they

way of the woo&
eet and trap
by Wlvigbt PoMenbeqp
Last week many Indian Hill
juniors completed a field trip to
the Indian Hill gun club. The
mqjority of the students enjoyed
the shooting but don't totalty un-
derstand the rules behind such
shotgun games.
First of all two such games ex-
ist: skeet and trap. Both games
involve a shotgunner trying to hit
clay pigeons, commonly called
"birds". Why they are called
"birds" I don't have the foggiest
idea. Maybe someone once
dressed one up with wings, legs,
and a beak and tried to shoot it.
Of the two games trap is the
simpler one. Trap involves fwe
linear stations from which the
participant shoots. In front of
these stations lies the house from
which the clay pigeons fly. The
clay pigeons fly one of three dir-
ections: left, right, or straight.
There is no set pattern. It de-
pends when the button is pushed
to let the bird fly.
Following the birds is the dif-
ficult part of trap shooting. The
birds fly no set path so each shot
requires quick reflexes. The sho-
oter has no clue where the bird
will go.
LENNON, from p. 3
was credited to both.
This is why the song "Give
Peace a Chance," which was act-
ually recorded in a hotel room
during a "bedh" in 1969, has
McCartney's name on it, even
though he had nothing to do with
it. Both .artists' names being
present on a release was not done
to keep the actual writer a
mystery, but to share the money
equally between the two.
For those who are interested,
the lead vocalist is almost always
the writer; the exceptions occur
with the songs written by John
and Paul, but sung by Ringo,
"I Wannabe your Man.''
In conclusion, the article was
poorly written and inadequately
researched, for the future plans of
Yoko and Sean were not even
mentioned, nor is the recent re-
lease of "The John Lennon Col-
lection" by Geffen Records,
which contains remixes of some
Plastic Ono Band songs. There is
also some tape of new Lennon
material that has yet to be re-
leased; no mention was made to
it's future. The article was simply
a cursory and inaccurate summary
of Lemon's life.

provide games tor shooters
Trap shooting consists of fwe
shots from each of the five stat-
ions so twenty-fwe shots are
taken in all. One point is awarded
for each hit bird, so a score of
twenty-fwe is a perfect score.
The more popular of the shot-
gun games is skeet. In skeet the
birds follow a set path from either
of the two houses while the
hunter changes position.
There is a low house and a
high house. From the high house
the birds come out higher so the
shooter must aim higher. Birds
from the lower house fly closer to
the ground. The two houses face
each other, but each one throws
birds to the side of the other
house.
In skeet there are eight sta-
tions. Seven of them lie in a semi-
circle with a house on each end:
The last station lies between the
two last houses.
From each station a shooter

back to Camp Muir before the
snow became slippery. At one
point during the trip the teams
had to cross a snowfield infamous
for avalanches.
The group then made the long
trip to Yellowstone Pa&, the last
maor hike in the expedition. At
rust the group saw all the famous
sights, but these were a disap-
pointment, because, as Gay said
later, "There were too many tour-
ists, which ruined it." Then the
group went into the unpopulated
backcountry of Yellowstone,
which was completely different
and more interesting because of
the lack of tourists.
The last stop before going
home was made at Jackson HoIe,
the WV headquarters, where a big
banquet was given to the return-
ing groups.
Besides having a good time,
Gay feels that she got something
out of the expedition. "You
learn how to function in agroup.
You have to work for the group
and not for yourself. You also
learn about feology, ecology, and
the environment in general." Gay
added, "I didn't know these
places existed, and I didn't expect
them to be so pretty."
When asked if she would
recommend the WV program to
others, Gay responded strongly in
the affmative. "Most people
wouldn't think of doing anything
like this. It's just a great exper-

takes the f i shot out of the high
houre and the second shot out of
the k w house. On the f i , sec-
ond, sixth, and seventh stations,
those closest to the houses, a part-
icipant shoots a double. A double
is when two birds are released at
the same time and the shooter
hits both. It is not easy.
Like trap a total of twenty-
fwe shots are fired and a point
scored for each hit bird. The last
two shots are fued from the stat-
ion between houses.
Of the two games skeet is
tougher, because some shots need
to be lead and followed with the
gun more than others. At each
station there is an approximation
what to use as a lead.
Indian Hill has both skeet and
trap available at the Indian Hill
gunclub. The club is a non-profit
organization, but membership is
required. If you would like to

ience."
Greg went on the shorter, but
just as vigorous, July Rocky Mont
Mountain Expedition for the en-
tire month of July, 1981. Unlike
Gay, Greg had had some previous
backpacking experience but he
still found the trip to be a chal-
lenge. Greg first travelled to
Jackson Hole, where he met the
others in his group and received
his supplies and instruction in
their use. There were twenty-two
participants and four counselors
in his group.
The expedition was divided
into three main trips with short
sto@ at places in between. The
first major hike was in the
Yellowstone Park backcountry.
Like Gay, Greg was unimpressed
by Old Faithful. "Lone Star
Geyser (in the backcountry) was
much better because it was se-
cluded. It was on an old horse
trait."
After six days in Yellowstone,
Greg's group made a three or four
day ride to Spanish Peaks Nation-
al Forest in Montana. In the six
days there, the group encountered
more wildlife and did more rock-
climbing. Greg had the strange
experience of being caught in a
thunderstorm while on top of
mountain, within the thunder-
clouds. Apart from the tremen-
dous amount of noise, Greg was
amazed by the fact that "the
weather shifted a lot faster than it

had come upon the froup where
there had been sunny skies only
about fifteen minutes earlier.
For the next trip the group
came back together (they had
been in groups of six or seven
during the fust parts of the ex-
pedition) for whitewater rafting
down the Colorado River. They
also did some rockclimbing alo?g
the route. On this trip the parti-
cipants could take "luxuries", like
cans of pop, but they still always
pitched tent in the wilderness.
L
From the Colorado, Greg rode t o .
Salt Lake City for the flight
home. About the return home,
Greg remarked, "It was strange
coming back here after being at
high altitudes."
Greg got involved in the WV
program because he was "just
looking for something t o do that
summer. It just caught my atten-
tion." When asked how he liked
the expedition, Greg responded
similarly to Gay: "It was great."
Greg also felt he got some
thing lasting form the program.
"I made a whole bunch of new
friends. It was the first time I had
gone west; I learned a lot about
different teoitories?'
Greg had mixed feelings about
recommending WV to others. "It
wouldn't be for everybody. We
had tough times. You always had
to do your share for the group."

The high school Distributive
Education Club is sponsoring its
tenth annual Little World store at
the Camargo Station during
December.
The project, which is operated
by DECA students and their
sponsor, Mr. James Benken,
opened December 4 and will run
through today. The store's hours
are 3-8 p.m. on weekdays and 12-
5p.m. on weekends.
Little World is designed to give
young shoppers a store where
they are able to buy gifts for their
parents. The price range runs
from $.50 to $5.00. However,
Benken states that 85% of the
items are priced between $1.50
and $3.00.
The gifts which the DECA
students will be selling have either
been denoted or purchased by
DECA. Benken added that the
items bought were on consign-
ment, so DECA will be able to re-
turn any unused gifts.
Besides its design for the
youngsters, Little World also gives
DECA students a place for on-the-
job experience in the merchand-
ising market. By working at

they have learned in class.
All juniors involved with
DECA must work twelve and one-
half or more total hours at Little
World. Their effort, states
Benken, will be graded and will
comprise twenty-five percent of
their second quarter grade. Sen-
ior DECA students, because of
their co-op programs, are encour-
aged to help only when possible.
The responsiblities of the stu-
dents involve not only working
with money and merchandise but
also with techniques of customer
assistance. The young shopper,
upon entering Little World, is
helped by a student who deter-
mines the child's budget and then
aids the shopper in choosing an
appropriate gift.
Other students then ring up
the sale and gift wrap the item for
the shopper. "Little World is
good because children can get
their Christmas shopping done,"
commented Junior DECA student
Cliff Wingerter.
Benken estimates the total
gross sales to be between $2500
and $3000 over the two week per-
