Golf a n d tennis--dominating in a sea of glory
Yeah, Yeah.
Don't tell me that the tennis
team is now 7-0 or 8-0 or 28-0 or
whatever and that they've won
every match 5-0, or whatever.
Just tell me that they are rubbing
their opponent's noses in it by
time. They win every time.
Don't mess with Indian Hill
tennis players.
Same goes for the boys' golf
team, the "Birdie Braves." They
win every match, it seems, by a
20-stroke margin. Or whatever.
They aren't undefeated, but their

And then there's the girls' golf
team, which is undefeated at the
moment. They dominate as much
as the boys, led by the supremely
talented Vera McVicker. And
they are underfeated.
Don't mess with Indian Hill
golf players.
Don't mess with any of these
players. Chances are, they'll win.
Every time. Among the three
teams, their won-lost records add
up to something like 21-1. That's
a winning percentage of .954.
That's awesome.
In fact, I'm going to venture a
truism. Golf and tennis are
Indian Hill's strongest fall sport.
Far and away the strongest.
I say that definitively this
year. I think I said something like
that last year, too, but it was after
the boys' golf team had finished
second in the state and five of
Indian Hill's tennis players had
made state, the doubles teams
finishing 2-3 in the standings.
Last year, golf and tennis were
precious breath of fresh air amidst
a dismal fall sports season. In the
midst of slumps by football and
soccer, as well as poor seasons
from cross country and field
hockey, the two won the title of
strongest sPofis by default as
much as anything eIse. I didn't
even mention girls' golf.
CH_IEFTAIN
But this year, the sports
program is enjoying great success-
the boys' soccer team is winning,
the football team is 1-1 for the
first time in years. Last year they
c didn't win a game.
And amid all this success, tlie
golf and tennis programs stand
head and shoulders above it all.
In a winning sports program, they
stand out. It takes some
phenomenal success to do that
this year, and they're doing it.
And the amazing thing is, the
teams are young. Tennis has
three freshmen, two sophomores,
two juniors and two seniors. It
takes seven to field a team, and
four of the regulars are soph-
mores and freshmen.
Boys' golf is a predominantly
senior team, but waiting in the
wings is a junior who has out-
played every senior but John
Bishop. Junior Jeff Yost's
average is second only to that of
Bishop's, and in the high 30's not
much seperates team.
It's girls' golf that relies most
heavily upon its one senior,
McVicker, who is as good in her
sport as Bishop is in his. But the
team has several underclassmen,

editorial
Following the bestowal of the .National Award for
Excellence in Education upon Indian Hill Yigh
School, most members of the student body reacted
with ambivalence. The primary reason for the
students' apparent lack of interest in their high
school was not apathy, but instead the assumption
that IH would win the award, as well as a well-
founded feeling that receiving the honor would in
no way affect them o r their lives at school.
Many students have exhibited the feeling that
they felt happy for the high school administration,
implying that the honor would sellre as "concrete
proof" of excellence unneccessary to students and
teachers but imperative to the administration's
need to demonstrate the school's quality t o others.
editorial
The PTA held a leadership conference last Sunday
in order t o educate the leaders of Student Govern-
ment as t o tlzeir responsibilities and duties as leaders
of the student body. In the course of the event, not
only were the PTA representatives helpful and
receptive, but they also showed a genuine interest in
the workings of the high school. This interaction
between parents and students is exactly what makes
Indian Hill worthy of an award of excellence.
In a community, four main bodies act to produce a
school system: the students, the teachers, the ad-
ministration, and the parents. If the communication
betweell any of the four breaks down, complications
arise, and eventually all suffer. To function correctly
and efficiently, all need t o cooperate, and the best
way t o cooperate is t o have a closely knit tie between
all the organizations.
Invariably, in many isrnmunitSes,the parents are
either forgotten or ignored, Scrause they are not
thought of as "directly connected' t o the edi!c*~tional
process. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The duty t o foster academic excellence falls upon the
shoulders of all four bodies, and the nlore support
received from the parents, the easier the task is for all
involved.
The PTA is t o be commended for its recent liaison
between the students and themselves. The products
of the leadership conference will llopefully become
apparent in the ~ipcomingyear. But the PTA is not
the only parent organization responsible for Indian
Hill's superiority. An integral part of excellence at
Indian Hill is parental involvement, and all are to be
thanked for their past, present, and future
participation.

This comment came from field
hockey coach Carol Wehmann af-
ter the Squaws had lost to defend-
ing state -champion Fairmont last
Monday, 5-0. The loss was IH's
second in a row, but, as Wehmann
cautioned, it was not a bad loss.
It was a game, according to
junior Tricia Wilson, "where their
stickwork and quickness domi-
nated."
It was a game where the tired
Squaws, who had survived a bru-
tal physical battle just three days
earlier against a squad from Louis-
ville, could never get rolling. It
was a game where the Squaws
were dominated.
It was a game similar to IH's
game with Louisville on Friday at
home, where the Squaws came
out on the bottom end of a tough
2-0 contest. The game was a hard
fight, both physically and because
of the intense competition.

The Velveteen Rabbit, this

Friday's performance will be
given during school hours for the
elementary school students. Sat-

the general public; curtain time is
2:00 p.m. with admission $1.50
for children and $2.50 for adults.
The children's play is a tradi-
tional fall event at Indian Hill.
It marks the beginning of a school
year of plays. In this play, fresh-
men are encouraged to participate
and are introduced into the realm
of acting.
This year the children's play
has several good acting parts that

Boo proves individuality among Hug clan
by Janet Nicolas
Barbara Hug is not just an-
other face in a crowd of seniors.
Sitting back in her comfortable
bean bag chair, Boo (as she is
affectionately known by family
and friends) announces, "People
should do what they ought to."
For such a vague statement, this
advice has been her motto for the
past seventeen years of her life.
Even though Boo was born
and raised in Cincinnati, she does
not fit the mold of the average
mid-westerner. "My dad came
from Switzerland, and my mom's
from Boston." The story is
normal: they got married,
and had a family. But for anyone
not acquainted with the Hug clan,
this isn't just any family. Boo is
the third child in a family of
eight. She smiles and adds,
'We're close in a lot of ways...but
each of us is unique."
No one can doubt
Barbara's uniqueness. A member
of Junior Strings, Strings Plus,
and presently, the Cincinnati
Youth Symphony Orchestra, she

own IH Orchestra. How did she
pick the cello? The story is a long
one. "I went to the symphony
and there was this lady with
long, blond hair playing the cello,
so I decided to play the cello,
too." Having overcome her
fixation over long hair (she
recently had her own locks
severed), she decided two years
later in fifth grade to play another
instrument, the flute. "I enjoy
playing the flute, but I like the
cello better." Even so, she still

her mainstay, she still likes

including Genesis and the Police.
But music isn't her only

a member of Key Club and Model
United Nations. "Georgetown
was great," she exclaims while
flashing: a devilish grin. In
addition, she works in a lab at
Children's Hospital doing various
tasks involving chemicals and
"things with too many syllables

the miles he logged in his car over
the summer.
While he lived in Amberley,
Sam went to several different
schools. Quips Sam, "We played
musical chairs with schools. I've
been at Summit Country Day, St.

Indian Hill."
During his "tour" of Cincin-

Brute strength and quickness.
The football Braves have seen a
lot of it the last two weeks, and
they'vc given as good as they've
gotten. Tonight, the 1-1 Braves
see similar strength and quickness
in visiting Deer Park, and coach
Mike Heizman predicts the game
to be a stern league opener.
"They are a very hard-hitting
team, so we're going to have to be
ready to take a pounding. We'll
have to be tough physically, be-
cause they will come at us hard
for all four quarters."

IH will have to contend with
Deer Park's unpredictable offense.
They don't run exclusively, and
they don't pass exclusively. The
Wildcats are a threat to do both.
"They have a very talented
quarterback in Scott Caudell
who is always a threat, whether to
pass or scramble if he has to,"
Heizman said. "Deer Park can
run or pass."
Still, it will be a much weaker
Deer Park team than in recent
years that IH will face tonight,
he added.
"They are not the team
they've had the last few years-
they have lost a lot of good play-
Ed Woolwine,"
one of the top rushers in the EHL
last year.
It was junior Kevin Viox who
established himself as the Braves'
leading rusher last week as he
rolled up 130 yards and scored
two touchdowns in the Braves'
20-0 rout of the Finneytown
Wildcats at Finneytown.
The game was, as Heizman
put it, a "good defensive effort
for about one quarter."
That was the quarter when Viox
scored his two touchdowns, on
runs of 50 and three yeards.
Senior Bill Croskey hit his first
extra point, but missed on the
second attempt, giving IH a 13-0
lead.
Quarterback Pete Seremetis
hooked up with senior Jim Gmsk-
in on a 37-yard pass play in the
second quarter for IH's third
TD on the night. Croskey's
extra-point kick was good, giving
IH a 20-0 lead at half.
The second half saw no scor-
ing from either team as IH's de-
fense carried the rest of the game
to the 20-0 win.
Heizman was concerned with
what he viewed as a "lack of
consistency" on the part of the
CHIEFTAIN
Braves' offense throughout much
of the game. "We still have a lot
of work to do; the offense was
really only strong in that one
quarter. But I was real pleased
with our defense."
On that Friday, the comb-
ination was strong enough for the
win. Two weeks ago, against
Greenhills, it was not.

teacher feature
Conti bubbles
by Elizabeth Gorman
Although she doesn't like
people to label each other, Mrs.
Gail Conti would have to be
labeled as a very patient m d
caring person. Although a de-
voted wife, mother and teacher,
Mrs. Conti never lets her busy
schedule interfere with her caring
attitude.
Her family life has been busy
remodeling their "old" Hyde Park
home for the past 4 years. 'We've
been living among drywall, dust,
and torn up rooms. I alternate
from 'It's going to be beautiful' to
'I can't stand it anymore'."
Yet her surroundings don't
seem to bother her, as the Contis
often entertain friends for dinner
or Trivial Pursuit. "I'm pretty
good. I have a mind for trivia."
During the week, her time
with the family is limited, but the
weekend is "family time." Her
husband, Gordon, recently re-
ceived his masters degree in
business. Mrs. Conti admits, "It
was a challenge putting him
through school while working."
Yet it is obvious from her expres-
sion that it was well worth it.
But Gordon's graduation is
not all the Contis, have to cele-
brate. Five months ago they had
"a new addition," Ross Allen.
"Right now with Ross, we just
talk and laugh and smile." With
their older child, Gwen, a first
grader, they often practice piano
together or go to her soccer
games. "Gwen is really good with
words, we make up creative,
funny stories together. It is really
fun watching her learn. At that
age, their eyes light up about
learning."
Mrs. Conti has found a special
feeling in her children. "You can
rediscover life through your kids.
They notice the little things that
an adult can often forget or over-
look."
Mrs. Conti did not overlook
the opportunity to share her
warm disposition with other
students. She became a member
of Peer Counseling and last year
led a support group. "I enjoy
being in Peer Counseling because
when you share with people,
there is a mirror of yourself
there...by reaching out to other
people, you can find out new
things about yourself."
Mrs. Conti is also a learning

personal contact with students.
' I t gives you a chance to be closer
to the kids and really look s t

to do if you have 100 or so
students."
Mrs. Conti stresses that she

may make a large difference to

commotl tools.
In addition, a lot of attention
is paid to mnemonics (memory
work). Because at the Learning
Resource Center, many students
are able to better understand

disc review
Spondou Ballet's 'Parade' shows
contributed by
Ashley Shepatd
Spandau Ballet's Parade is a
musician's album. Many of the
songs on the album would not be
found on a top 40 chart; still, the
music is both well written and
performed. Overall, the album
sounds much like Duran Duran
with occasional similarities to
Culture Club's Boy George.
Because Spandau Ballet is an
all male band, it is not surpris-
ing that most of the lyrics are
concerned with females and ro-
mance. The fust song, "Only
When You Leave," is about the
end of a relationship as the title
suggests. Here, Tony Hadley, the
lead singer, is very reminiscent of
Joe Jackson, and the sax solo by
Steve Norman is tastefully played.
"High Strung," continues the
upbeat, but mellow sound from
the first song. The lyrics tend to
be repetitive, yet not boring.
The first slow song on the al-
bum,"IY11Fly For You," is a good
transition from the previous quick
pace. Vocal and instrumental
:ombinations are exceptional in
the development, and the ending,
though a bit drawn out, is equally
exceptional.

me. The terrible thing is, it

With "Nature of the Beast,"
Parade approaches its slowest beat
yet. A sweet sounding opening
breaks the monotony of Span-

style, before suddenly speeding
up. The bass line is both innova-
tive and interesting, as are the
lyrics,"How many know you're
there/ He's always the man to
dare/ You're always to blame."
Spandau Ballet has their share
of reggae type music with "Re-

The final song,"Round and

for a top 40 hit is evident in this
well-chosen finale to the album.
Although the unchanging
sound of Hadley's voice verges on
monotony at times, each song in
itself is performed very well,
musically. Spandau Ballet pro-
duces a mellow, soft sound wi+h

Boo proves individuality among Hug clan
by Janet Nicolas
Barbara Hug is not just an-
other face in a crowd of seniors.
Sitting back in her comfortable
bean bag chair, Boo (as she is
affectionately known by family
and friends) announces, "People
should do what they ought to."
For such a vague statement, this
advice has been her motto for the
past seventeen years of her life.
Even though Boo was born
and raised in Cincinnati, she does
not fit the mold of the average
mid-westerner. "My dad came
from Switzerland, and my mom's
from Boston." The story is
normal: they got married,
and had a family. But for anyone
not acquainted with the Hug clan,
this isn't just any family. Boo is
the third child in a family of
eight. She smiles and adds,
'We're close in a lot of ways...but
each of us is unique."
No one can doubt
Barbara's uniqueness. A member
of Junior Strings, Strings Plus,
and presently, the Cincinnati
Youth Symphony Orchestra, she
has claimed the honorable

Green brings his brand of conservatism to IH

For some people, certain
places acquire a special signi-
ficance. For Sam Green, that
place is French Park. "I grew up
in French Park, and now it's full
Sam prepares to shoot another liberal in the name of William F.
Buckley . during his freshman year, he was a
CHIEFTAIN
position of principal cellist in our
own IH Orchestra. How did she
pick the cello? The story is a long
one. "I went to the symphony
and there was this lady with
long, blond hair playing the cello,
so I decided to play the cello,
too." Having overcome her
fixation over long hair (she
recently had her own locks
severed), she decided two years
later in fifth grade to play another
instrument, the flute. "I enjoy
playing the flute, but I like the
cello better." Even so, she still
wakes up early on Friday morn-
ings to join the Pep Band at
Perkins. While classical music is
her mainstay, she still likes
listening to other "good stuff,"
including Genesis and the Police.
But music isn't her only
amusement. Barbara enjoys being
a member of Key Club and Model
United Nations. "Georgetown
was great," she exclaims while
flashing: a devilish grin. In
addition, she works in a lab at
Children's Hospital doing various
tasks involving chemicals and
"things with too many syllables
of people who do things to little
kids." Thus began the life of Sam

conservative.

bers, with childlike idealism, the
many aspects of Amberley.
"Every thing is so convenient, and
you don't have to drive 3,000
miles to see everyone you know,"
complains Sam, while recounting
the miles he logged in his car over
the summer.
While he lived in Amberley,
Sam went to several different
schools. Quips Sam, "We played
musical chairs with schools. I've
been at Summit Country Day, St.
Ursula, St. Gertrude, and finally
Indian Hill."
During his "tour" of Cincin-
nati's Catholic schools, Sam
enjoyed himself to the fullest
extent. In his younger days, Sam
was "the first to learn how to cuss
without sounding like you're
improvising.'' !Ie also tells of the
religion class when the question
was posed, "What happened to
Jesus between his birth and
death?" and of course, someone
answered "Puberty." All in all
though, Sam's life in parochial
schools has been beneficial. Says
Sam, "I've never had a bad nun."

Sam replied, "Both.''
However, one important story
in Sam's past deals with his in-

The key word is "conservative."

platter theory. Every human

Brute strength and quickness.
The football Braves have seen a
lot of it the last two weeks, and
they'vc given as good as they've
gotten. Tonight, the 1-1 Braves
see similar strength and quickness
in visiting Deer Park, and coach
Mike Heizman predicts the game
to be a stern league opener.
"They are a very hard-hitting
team, so we're going to have to be
ready to take a pounding. We'll
have to be tough physically, be-
cause they will come at us hard
for all four quarters."

IH will have to contend with
Deer Park's unpredictable offense.
They don't run exclusively, and
they don't pass exclusively. The
Wildcats are a threat to do both.
"They have a very talented
quarterback in Scott Caudell
who is always a threat, whether to
pass or scramble if he has to,"
Heizman said. "Deer Park can
run or pass."
Still, it will be a much weaker
Deer Park team than in recent
years that IH will face tonight,
he added.
"They are not the team
they've had the last few years-
they have lost a lot of good play-
Ed Woolwine,"
one of the top rushers in the EHL
last year.
It was junior Kevin Viox who
established himself as the Braves'
leading rusher last week as he
rolled up 130 yards and scored
two touchdowns in the Braves'
20-0 rout of the Finneytown
Wildcats at Finneytown.
The game was, as Heizman
put it, a "good defensive effort
for about one quarter."
That was the quarter when Viox
scored his two touchdowns, on
runs of 50 and three yeards.
Senior Bill Croskey hit his first
extra point, but missed on the
second attempt, giving IH a 13-0
lead.
Quarterback Pete Seremetis
hooked up with senior Jim Gmsk-
in on a 37-yard pass play in the
second quarter for IH's third
TD on the night. Croskey's
extra-point kick was good, giving
IH a 20-0 lead at half.
The second half saw no scor-
ing from either team as IH's de-
fense carried the rest of the game
to the 20-0 win.
Heizman was concerned with
what he viewed as a "lack of
consistency" on the part of the
CHIEFTAIN
Braves' offense throughout much
of the game. "We still have a lot
of work to do; the offense was
really only strong in that one
quarter. But I was real pleased
with our defense."
On that Friday, the comb-
ination was strong enough for the
win. Two weeks ago, against
Greenhills, it was not.
The Pioneers ruined IH'
season opener by grinding out a
21-3 win on the strength of their
running game. Greenhills' Chuck

With 5-0 victories over Deer

tennis Squaws ran their record to
a spotless 7-0 earlier this week.

It was a slightly different
lineup but the same results
as the Squaws ousted Wyoming

matches in straight sets, as did

This comment came from field
hockey coach Carol Wehmann af-
ter the Squaws had lost to defend-
ing state -champion Fairmont last
Monday, 5-0. The loss was IH's
second in a row, but, as Wehmann
cautioned, it was not a bad loss.
It was a game, according to
junior Tricia Wilson, "where their
stickwork and quickness domi-
nated."
It was a game where the tired
Squaws, who had survived a bru-
tal physical battle just three days
earlier against a squad from Louis-
ville, could never get rolling. It
was a game where the Squaws
were dominated.
It was a game similar to IH's
game with Louisville on Friday at
home, where the Squaws came
out on the bottom end of a tough
2-0 contest. The game was a hard
fight, both physically and because
of the intense competition.

editorial
Following the bestowal of the .National Award for
Excellence in Education upon Indian Hill Yigh
School, most members of the student body reacted
with ambivalence. The primary reason for the
students' apparent lack of interest in their high
school was not apathy, but instead the assumption
that IH would win the award, as well as a well-
founded feeling that receiving the honor would in
no way affect them o r their lives at school.
Many students have exhibited the feeling that
they felt happy for the high school administration,
implying that the honor would sellre as "concrete
proof" of excellence unneccessary to students and
teachers but imperative to the administration's
need to demonstrate the school's quality t o others.
editorial
The PTA held a leadership conference last Sunday
in order t o educate the leaders of Student Govern-
ment as t o tlzeir responsibilities and duties as leaders
of the student body. In the course of the event, not
only were the PTA representatives helpful and
receptive, but they also showed a genuine interest in
the workings of the high school. This interaction
between parents and students is exactly what makes
Indian Hill worthy of an award of excellence.
In a community, four main bodies act to produce a
school system: the students, the teachers, the ad-
ministration, and the parents. If the communication
betweell any of the four breaks down, complications
arise, and eventually all suffer. To function correctly
and efficiently, all need t o cooperate, and the best
way t o cooperate is t o have a closely knit tie between
all the organizations.
Invariably, in many isrnmunitSes,the parents are
either forgotten or ignored, Scrause they are not
thought of as "directly connected' t o the edi!c*~tional
process. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The duty t o foster academic excellence falls upon the
shoulders of all four bodies, and the nlore support
received from the parents, the easier the task is for all
involved.
The PTA is t o be commended for its recent liaison
between the students and themselves. The products
of the leadership conference will llopefully become
apparent in the ~ipcomingyear. But the PTA is not
the only parent organization responsible for Indian
Hill's superiority. An integral part of excellence at
Indian Hill is parental involvement, and all are to be
thanked for their past, present, and future
participation.

And then there's the girls' golf
team, which is undefeated at the
moment. They dominate as much
as the boys, led by the supremely
talented Vera McVicker. And
they are underfeated.
Don't mess with Indian Hill

Don't mess with any of these
players. Chances are, they'll win.
Every time. Among the three
teams, their won-lost records add
up to something like 21-1. That's
a winning percentage of .954.
That's awesome.
In fact, I'm going to venture a
truism. Golf and tennis are
Indian Hill's strongest fall sport.
Far and away the strongest.
I say that definitively this
year. I think I said something like
that last year, too, but it was after
the boys' golf team had finished
second in the state and five of
Indian Hill's tennis players had
made state, the doubles teams
finishing 2-3 in the standings.
Last year, golf and tennis were
precious breath of fresh air amidst
a dismal fall sports season. In the
midst of slumps by football and
soccer, as well as poor seasons
from cross country and field
hockey, the two won the title of

much as anything eIse. I didn't
even mention girls' golf.

But this year, the sports
program is enjoying great success-
the boys' soccer team is winning,
the football team is 1-1 for the
first time in years. Last year they
c didn't win a game.
And amid all this success, tlie
golf and tennis programs stand
head and shoulders above it all.
In a winning sports program, they
stand out. It takes some
phenomenal success to do that
this year, and they're doing it.
And the amazing thing is, the
teams are young. Tennis has
three freshmen, two sophomores,
two juniors and two seniors. It
takes seven to field a team, and
four of the regulars are soph-
mores and freshmen.
Boys' golf is a predominantly
senior team, but waiting in the
wings is a junior who has out-
played every senior but John
Bishop. Junior Jeff Yost's
average is second only to that of
Bishop's, and in the high 30's not
much seperates team.
It's girls' golf that relies most
heavily upon its one senior,
McVicker, who is as good in her
sport as Bishop is in his. But the

The National Merit Corpora-

yesterday, and seven IH seniors
were among those who received
the accolade.
David Cook, Marjie Fink,
MaryBeth Heidrich, Paul Kalo-

and Gay Stauft all received high
scores on the PSATINMSQT last
fall to qualify for the award.
The students qualified by
achieving over 195 points in the
Selection Index, which is deter-.
mined by doubling the verbal
score and adding the math score
received on the test.
Most of these students have
not finalized their plans for col-
lege but have rather made tenta-
tive plans for next fall.

Since Indian Hill is one of the
only schools in the area to have a
Latin program in its middle
school, many teachers and pro-
fessors have asked him about
Indian Hill's curriculum. This was
what persuaded Littie to choose
his topic, which gives other
teachers background for intro-
ducing Latin into their own
schools. Little is the only high
school teacher giving a presen-
tation; all other speakers are col-
lege or university professors.
