Braves hope to end losing streak tonight
by Bruno Darre
The varsity Braves play the
Loveland ~ i ~ e tonight
rs in what
could be a very exciting home-
coming game. Once again, aggres-
iveness and intensity are the fac-
tors the Braves will need to win.
The Braves, who are 0-3 in their
last three games, are hoping to
end this bad streak and feel that
there is no better time than to-
night.
Last week against Deer Park
the Braves' lost the game on their
failure to score twice when they
were on the Deer Park ten yard
line. The running game, having
just been changed to a three back
offense called the "Power-I," was
severely croppled when junior
Myron Cowherd sprained his ank-
le in the first half. (Cowherd has
not practiced this week and may
not play against the Tigers to-
night.) The two scores by the
Braves both came on pass plays.
Quarterback connected with Mike
Anderson for 26 yards and with
James Johnson for 15 yards.
Both extra points were converted
by Paul Alvord, but the Braves
fell short as the defense yeilded
twenty-five points.
Two weeks ago, the Braves
faced a very strong team from
Wyoming, a team which only lost
to CAPE by one point (28-27) as
Birdie Braves to compete in regionals
by Lee Tucker
The second half of the Birdie
Braves' season was highlighted by
a third-place finish in the district
tournament, which qualifies them
for the regional tournament in
Sydney, Ohio. Although losing to
Oak Hills and Mason with the ab-
sence of senior star Jeff Yost, the
Braves came back with an excep-
tional ending to their strong
season.
The Braves were en route to
their third straight district title,
but had to settle for third after
a playoff.
The team defeated Deer Park
with Yost qualifying i'or medal-
ist honors in that Inect. This
allowed the Birdie Braves to cap-
ture the league title with vital
support conling by way of strong
scores from Yost with a first-
place 70, and a fourth-place
79 by freshman Matt Sheakly.
Other contributing scores were
Chris Kropp's 83, Jim Thor-
ton's 88, and Rolf Schorr's 90.

'
After starting the season out
with a losing streak, the Squaws
are now showing iapid imprnve-
ment with each game. One sore
point for the team this year has
been the team's typically slow
first half performance. Says
Coach Restinberg, "If only we
could play our first half as well
as the second."
The Squaws' most recent
match against Hamilton, while
played under adverse conditions,
reflected the 'team's ability to
battle their opponents, and tied
by a score of 1-1. The team's
sole goal was scored by fresh-
man Jenny Bath.
The week before, the team

Thompson felt the team played
well in that contest, however,
they just could not seem to put
the ball in the net.
Against their traditional rival,
Mariemont, the Squaws really got

The varsity Braves began their
losing streak against the Reading
Blue Devils three weeks ago. The
Braves were playing without their
number one running back, Grey
Freudenberg, who was out with
an illness. This proved to be
painful for the Braves' offense,
which scored only one touch-
down and had eight fumbles. It
was a disappointing 35-7 loss and
as Heizman remarked, "It's not
the best we've ever played."

to end the three game losing

Commenting on the team's
progtess to date, Thompson says,
"Our defense has been consis-

fullback play, and Cadi Cucin-

know they are capable of pcr-

file into the cafeteria t o partake of handfuls of grease
and sodium saturated fries, mounds of starchy pro-
cessed entrees, and sugary, synthetic juices. This
scene merits nightmare status in this newly health

Sadly, most students d o not even seem t o be aware
of the disservice they are doing for themselves by in-
dulging in these "foods." Items such as french fries
and cakes have practically no nutritional value and
only do harm by festering one's body with cholester-
ol and various carcinogens. There is an almost appal-

Twenty-five years ago, President John F. Kennedy
established a program that fed on little more than the
enthusiasm of its mainly young participants: the
Peace Corps. The Peace Corps, which sends Amer-
icans abroad to work in underdeveloped countries,
has managed to thrive in its first quarter-century of
existence, and has designated October 1985-Sept-
ember 1986 as its twenty-fifth anniversary year.
An interview with 1960 Indian Hill graduate and
Peace Corpsman Alan Crew in this issue of Chieftain
gives some insight into the true attraction of the
Peace Corps, which has been described as "the tough-
est job you'll ever love." In the article, Crew not
only describes his two-year tenure in Africa, but
voices his opinions on the potential future of the
Peace Corps.
Today, a program like the Peace Corps is need-
ed Inore than ever, for the same reasons which fos-
tered its founding: the internaional understanding
and friendship created by the Corps is valuable in
allieviating the tension dhich hangs over the
world. The experience for thohc who participate
rivals none in terms of learning 21!1111t other people,
feels Crew. For this reason, ( :.,-w l ~ o p c sthat the

We do, also. The Corps deserves to live t o cele-

will future participants be deprived of a truly val-

While most aspects of the game

Girls await second annual state tournarneni
by Joy Rowe
The girls7 golf team has recen-
tly added many accomplshments
to their season. The first tourna-
ment held was on September 28,
at Centerivlle, when the team
finished second behind undef-
eated Lakota. The difference be-
tween first and second was a mere
four strokes, which the team feels
can be made up in their next
meeting. Kari Craig played es-
pecially well in scoring a 5 0.
Craig once again pulled
through at Middletown on Octo-
ber 2 by scaring another 50 on
the front side of Wildwood Coun-
try Club. Joy Rowe was medal-
ist with a fouroverpar 40.
With their great improvement,
the team should be ready to be a
serious challenge in the second
annual Ohio Coaches Girls7 State
Invitational. This tournament
was started last year by Indian

The Braves' second loss of
the season came at the hands of
Walnut Hills who were ranked
fourth in the city. Facing a 1-0
deficit early in the game, the team
could not overcome the Walnut

has been superb, however, as
all three of the Braves' losses have
come at the expense of top rank-
ed teams. And even with the loss
to Turpin which Coach Vockell
said, 'Would've put us in the top
ten," the team can only look with
optimism at the remainder of the
season and then into the tourna-
ment. Meyer has had an excel-
lent season and is a likely can-
idate for all-CHL, along with
Womack, who, after a slow start,
have come on strong the second
half of the season to be once
again, one of the city's leading
scorers. Metzger has also been a
vital part of the offensive punch, :
as he has added ten goals. How- I
ever, the highlight of the season

Looking to the tournament
the Braves are the number one
seed for a double A school in
this part of the city which pro-
vides them with a bye in the first
round of play. And with several
more games left in the regular
season, the team has a chance
to improve both their record
and their play to bring a state
championship in soccer to
Indian Hill for the first time
ever.

Coach Marc Tirey added to
Wehmann's comment, 'There is a
Coaches Association which is rep-
resented by several coaches [all of
which are from boys' teams] and
we hope to try and get the girls7
coaches t o become members and
present a proposal to the state to

good chance of winning this

Thank God Pete Kose got

that I had any doubts in its in-

now once again attempt to main-
tain a realistic perspective con-
cerning our adoration of sports
luminaries.
Too often throughout the
coursm of history, we overem-
phasize the importance ot atnlet-
ics in our lifestyles. .For aren't
they supposed to be merely an
outlet for our anxieties, apparent-
ly not. With the advent of multi-
million dollar salaries, and the
tremendous amount of money
generated by the fans, we have
seen sports adulterated. Take, for
instance, the Super Bowl, a two
week bombardment of statistics
and predictions, which leaves the
fans exhausted by the time the
game rolls around. And therein
lies the problem, we no longer
look upon it as a game, but rath-
er, as a way to make a buck.

Rose reflects state of athIetics
named Andy Wmhoi. a h a t is
ironic, is that Warhol admitted
that he didn't even like baseball,
and never even met Pete Rose.
So why did he do it? Because
he knew how to prey upon
some fan half way across the
country who had an insatiable
desire for his reproduction.
But don't be so naive as to
think that your fellow Cincinnat-
ians didn't monopolize upon your
"Pete Rose fever." All one need-
ed to do is wake up in the morn-
ing and from daybreak to well
into the night one would have
heard monotonous news stories
on how Pete would or would not
be in the lineup. Or maybe
you'd see Marge Schott on T.V.
with her canine companion Schot-
tzie, telling everyone in her raspy
voice how proud she is of Pete.
However, what she so tactfully
fails to mention is how much
extra money those two consec-
utive sellouts garnered for her
and that slobbering dog.
But perhaps the most guilty
party in overemphasizing the
record, was The Cincinnati En-
quirer. I can only shudder at the
predicament the chief editor
would have been in had we gone

to war that day, or had the Pres-
ident been shot. Should he in-
clude those secondary stories on
the front page with Pete, or may-
be he could put them back in the
second section. Nevertheless,
like everything else, The Enquir-
er is a business, and they realize
that by heaping plaudits on Rose,
they were going to sell papers. So
whether or not you want the
complete bibliography of Rose
along with their intriguing quotes
from everyone except Rose's new
double turbo Corvette, given to
him by Mrs. Schott, you're going
to get it.
Therefore, the obvious ques-
tion which I would like to pro-
pose, is why do we idolize sports
heros to such extremes? Is it
because we, as humans, like t o
ally ourselves with a certain
group, and so by cheering for
a team we become a companion
of tens of thousands of other
Reds supporters, or Bengal sup-
porters. Or is it that we like to
envision ourselves as a Pete Rose
or Kenny Anderson leading
our teams to victory before
50,000 delirious fans? I think
it is a combination of both. B U ~

Thompson 2-1
The Indian Hill Squaws varsity
soccer team has taken on a new
ed to change his alignment.
Struggling to develop an offensive
punch, Thompson elected to
change from three forwards to
a four forward formation and
consequently has compiled a
2-1 record since its inception
Coach Thompson feels that the
turn around is due not only to
the new alignment, but also due
to the fact that "the girls have ad-
justed to my style of coaching,
and I am beginning t o adjust to
coaching the girls."
The Squaws were really up for
their second chance at Loveland
having salvaged a 2-2 tie in
their first outing. The new form-
ation proved successful in estab-
lishing an added offensive threat
as the team defeated Loveland
4-1. Goals were scored by Tricia
Craig, Traci Finkelmeier, Chris
see SOCCER, p. 12
the one factor which sets sports
stars apart, from say, the Pres-
ident, is the incredible special
talent which they possess. We
don't see masses of people wish-
ing to be President, but rather,
they want to be a Pete Rose.
And the same principle applies to
the other facets of the entertain-
ment field. Living the life of
Sting, with a successful movie and
music career which reap him
millions would seem the ideal
life for most.
However, I'm just as suscept-
ible as the next guy in lauding
sports or entertainment heros.
For it is human nature to wish
for something such as fame and
fortune, though few will achieve
it. And while largely negative in
its tone, my column does not
intend to detract from Rose's
feat, nor to provide any answers
for rectifying this problem. My
only desire is t o see us once
again return to the days where
sports were played with integrity
and when the amateurs dominat-
ed the athletic scene. But then
again, I did buy a Pete Rose shirt
and I have thought about what
it would be like to be Sting.

Should AIDS victims aftend school?
by Jay Fitton
We have been in school now
for almost six weeks, and most of
us would probably prefer to be
somewhere else if we had the
choice. However, for a handful of
kids (approximately 5 2), there
has been no school this year.
Two children who have AIDS
are attending school, but
their presence has been causing
boycotts such as the one a few
weeks ago in New York City in-
volving almost 18,000 children.
Angry parents are demonstrating
there as well as other cities a11 ac-
ross the nation, demandkg that
their children be protected from
the disease.
As one mother put it, "They
send children home if they have
lice or chicken pox, but not if
they have AIDS. Now what kind
of reasoning is that?"
The controversy lies in the
fact that even though health ad-
ministrators insist that there is no
danger of acquiring the disease
through "casual contact," par-
ents aren't convinced. Scientists
who have studied the disease state
that there are only two ways of
contracting AIDS: through sex-
ual contact, especially between
homosexual men, or by exposure
to infected blood. However, the
general public either doesn't
know this or doesn't agree.

treated several people with AIDS,
didn't help calm parents' fears
when he said that there is a def-

could be passed on by blood from
a cut or nosebleed, vomit, or by
sharing a sandwich. It should be
noted that most children with the
disease either caught during child-
birth from their mother, or from
a blood transfusion.
So far, nine states have public-
ly addressed the issue, most say-

Student denounces name calling
by Dan Rosenthal
Did you ever see people sad
or frowning? It was probably
because something sad happened
to the person or somebody called
them a name. I know all of us
have done this, but did we ever
stop the name caller or soothe
the person that was being ver-
bally abused?
No, we were probably out
there laughing at the person or
homecoming festivities.

Mrs. Oliver said, "I think he

Gretchen Froelich and Andrea
Schwartz commented, "No, be-

about it. They have no clue
about how it can be transmitted."

AIDS is a very new disease
(the first reported case was in
1979), and there is no way we can

Freshman Farley leading nefters
by Chris Kempainski
Andrea Farley is a name which
most of Indian Hill will be well
acquainted with for the next four
years. As a freshman on the var-
sity tennis Squaws, Farley has
dominated the Cincinnati tennis
scene like no other freshman, ex-
cept maybe her teammate and
chief competitor, Tracy Barton,
who as a freshman last year won
state.
Starting tennis at age seven,
which is comparatively late if one
were to watch her phenomonal
play, Farley is foIlowing in the
footsteps of her sister Angela,
who as a Squaw several years
b
ago, was one of the best players
in the city. As of today, Andrea
has never lost a high school
match, a feat which is particu-
larly noteworthy because of t h e , lead with goals by Charlie Gall,

However, as coach Cindy Cril-

Sauaws vie
for State
by Alissa Raleigh
Facing the tail end of a rig-
orous season, the Squaws look-
ed with lofty aspirations tow-
ard the last few games.
Last Thursday, the Indian
Hill field hockey team dem-
molished Seven Hills with a pel-
sistent offense and a strong de-
fense. The Squaws' eight goals
were scored by Emily Ruff, Kry-
+stn Bell, Michelle Harmon (who
had three), Molly Higgins, Sara
Wilson, and Diane Hancher.
The previous match was less
successful as they dropped a
hard fought battle to Oakwood in
the district championships by a
score of 1-0. "The Squaws play-
ed well and hard, so they have
nothing to be ashamed of. It
was a good game," remarked
Coach Hamm.
During another one of the
"incredible games," as Harmon
calls them, the Squaws defeated
Seven Hills with a 7-1 victory.
Next week the Squaws will
vie for the chance to advance to
state. All games will be played at
the home field.

'spider Woman' not a superhero

by Jay Fitton
Question of the day: Kiss of
the Spider Woman is about ...
A. A man who is bitten by a
rare, tropical spider and 'is trans-
formed into a sex-crazed psycho-
path.
B, A huge, 100-foot radioac-
tive spider that terrorizes a town
during Homecoming.
C. Spider-Man and Spider-Wo-
man wedding.
D. Whether or not kids with
AIDS should be allowed in
school.
E. None of the above.
The correct answer is, of
course, "B." No, I'm only kid-
ding-it's "E." Kiss o f the Spider
Woman is a new movie in the Tri-
State about two prisoners in a
South American prison; one is a
homosexual charged with raping
teenage boys and the other is a
political prisoner. Yes, I know
you're thinking, "God, that
sounds more stupid than the ones
up there!" And you're right. It
is a very unusual idea for a movie.
- But seriously, Kiss of the Spi-
der Woman is very interesting.
The two prisoners develop a u-
nique and touching friendship.
The fine perform:,nces make this
relationship seem perfectly plau-
sible. What makes the movie so
interesting is that whenever the
two are bored, Molina, the homo-
sexual, tells Valentine, the po-
litical prisoner, the story of his
favorite movie.
In effect, half of Kiss o f the
Spider Woman is this movie
within a movie. The brilliance
is that this movie's plot parallels
that of Kiss of the Spider Wo-
man.
There is very strong, deep
symbolism in this movie. Much
of it is not obvious. It doesn't
become clear until after the movie
is over. The ending and the three
women in the film are especially
symbolic.
But what really makes Kiss of
the Spider Woman stand out are
the incredible performances, par-
ticularly WIlliam Hurt as the

'spider Woman' not a superhero

by Jay Fitton
Question of the day: Kiss of
the Spider Woman is about ...
A. A man who is bitten by a
rare, tropical spider and 'is trans-
formed into a sex-crazed psycho-
path.
B, A huge, 100-foot radioac-
tive spider that terrorizes a town
during Homecoming.
C. Spider-Man and Spider-Wo-
man wedding.
D. Whether or not kids with
AIDS should be allowed in
school.
E. None of the above.
The correct answer is, of
course, "B." No, I'm only kid-
ding-it's "E." Kiss o f the Spider
Woman is a new movie in the Tri-
State about two prisoners in a
South American prison; one is a
homosexual charged with raping
teenage boys and the other is a
political prisoner. Yes, I know
you're thinking, "God, that
sounds more stupid than the ones
up there!" And you're right. It
is a very unusual idea for a movie.
- But seriously, Kiss of the Spi-
der Woman is very interesting.
The two prisoners develop a u-
nique and touching friendship.
The fine perform:,nces make this
relationship seem perfectly plau-
sible. What makes the movie so
interesting is that whenever the
two are bored, Molina, the homo-
sexual, tells Valentine, the po-
litical prisoner, the story of his
favorite movie.
In effect, half of Kiss o f the
Spider Woman is this movie
within a movie. The brilliance
is that this movie's plot parallels
that of Kiss of the Spider Wo-
man.
There is very strong, deep
symbolism in this movie. Much
of it is not obvious. It doesn't
become clear until after the movie
is over. The ending and the three
women in the film are especially
symbolic.
But what really makes Kiss of
the Spider Woman stand out are
the incredible performances, par-
ticularly WIlliam Hurt as the

student opinion
Should AIDS victims aftend school?
by Jay Fitton
We have been in school now
for almost six weeks, and most of
us would probably prefer to be
somewhere else if we had the
choice. However, for a handful of
kids (approximately 5 2), there
has been no school this year.
Two children who have AIDS
are attending school, but
their presence has been causing
boycotts such as the one a few
weeks ago in New York City in-
volving almost 18,000 children.
Angry parents are demonstrating
there as well as other cities a11 ac-
ross the nation, demandkg that
their children be protected from
the disease.
As one mother put it, "They
send children home if they have
lice or chicken pox, but not if
they have AIDS. Now what kind
of reasoning is that?"
The controversy lies in the
fact that even though health ad-
ministrators insist that there is no
danger of acquiring the disease
through "casual contact," par-
ents aren't convinced. Scientists
who have studied the disease state
that there are only two ways of
contracting AIDS: through sex-
ual contact, especially between
homosexual men, or by exposure
to infected blood. However, the
general public either doesn't
know this or doesn't agree.

could be passed on by blood from
a cut or nosebleed, vomit, or by
sharing a sandwich. It should be
noted that most children with the
disease either caught during child-

Student denounces name calling
by Dan Rosenthal
Did you ever see people sad

because something sad happened
to the person or somebody called
them a name. I know all of us
have done this, but did we ever
stop the name caller or soothe
the person that was being ver-
bally abused?
No, we were probably out
there laughing at the person or

Gretchen Froelich and Andrea

we let our emotions cloud over

they can continue school.
AIDS is a very new disease
(the first reported case was in
1979), and there is no way we can
know everything about it that
need to know in order to justify
the risk of spreading the disease.
Although it is thought that it
can only be transmitted by two

Freshman Farley leading nefters
by Chris Kempainski
Andrea Farley is a name which
most of Indian Hill will be well
acquainted with for the next four
years. As a freshman on the var-
sity tennis Squaws, Farley has
dominated the Cincinnati tennis
scene like no other freshman, ex-
cept maybe her teammate and
chief competitor, Tracy Barton,
who as a freshman last year won
state.
Starting tennis at age seven,
which is comparatively late if one
were to watch her phenomonal
play, Farley is foIlowing in the
footsteps of her sister Angela,
who as a Squaw several years
b
ago, was one of the best players
in the city. As of today, Andrea
has never lost a high school
match, a feat which is particu-

Sauaws vie
for State
by Alissa Raleigh
Facing the tail end of a rig-
orous season, the Squaws look-
ed with lofty aspirations tow-
ard the last few games.
Last Thursday, the Indian
Hill field hockey team dem-
molished Seven Hills with a pel-
sistent offense and a strong de-
fense. The Squaws' eight goals
were scored by Emily Ruff, Kry-
+stn Bell, Michelle Harmon (who
had three), Molly Higgins, Sara
Wilson, and Diane Hancher.
The previous match was less
successful as they dropped a
hard fought battle to Oakwood in
the district championships by a
score of 1-0. "The Squaws play-
ed well and hard, so they have
nothing to be ashamed of. It
was a good game," remarked
Coach Hamm.
During another one of the
"incredible games," as Harmon
calls them, the Squaws defeated
Seven Hills with a 7-1 victory.
Next week the Squaws will
vie for the chance to advance to
state. All games will be played at
the home field.

with Chris Kempc2inski
Thank God Pete Kose got
his hit!!! Not to say, however,
that I had any doubts in its in-
evitability, but hopefully, we will
now once again attempt to main-
tain a realistic perspective con-
cerning our adoration of sports
luminaries.
Too often throughout the
coursm of history, we overem-
phasize the importance ot atnlet-
ics in our lifestyles. .For aren't
they supposed to be merely an
outlet for our anxieties, apparent-
ly not. With the advent of multi-
million dollar salaries, and the
tremendous amount of money
generated by the fans, we have
seen sports adulterated. Take, for
instance, the Super Bowl, a two
week bombardment of statistics
and predictions, which leaves the
fans exhausted by the time the
game rolls around. And therein
lies the problem, we no longer
look upon it as a game, but rath-
er, as a way to make a buck.

Rose reflects state of athIetics
named Andy Wmhoi. a h a t is
ironic, is that Warhol admitted
that he didn't even like baseball,
and never even met Pete Rose.
So why did he do it? Because
he knew how to prey upon
some fan half way across the
country who had an insatiable
desire for his reproduction.
But don't be so naive as to
think that your fellow Cincinnat-
ians didn't monopolize upon your
"Pete Rose fever." All one need-
ed to do is wake up in the morn-
ing and from daybreak to well
into the night one would have
heard monotonous news stories
on how Pete would or would not
be in the lineup. Or maybe
you'd see Marge Schott on T.V.
with her canine companion Schot-
tzie, telling everyone in her raspy
voice how proud she is of Pete.
However, what she so tactfully
fails to mention is how much
extra money those two consec-
utive sellouts garnered for her
and that slobbering dog.
But perhaps the most guilty
party in overemphasizing the
record, was The Cincinnati En-
quirer. I can only shudder at the
predicament the chief editor
would have been in had we gone

to war that day, or had the Pres-
ident been shot. Should he in-
clude those secondary stories on
the front page with Pete, or may-
be he could put them back in the
second section. Nevertheless,
like everything else, The Enquir-
er is a business, and they realize
that by heaping plaudits on Rose,
they were going to sell papers. So
whether or not you want the
complete bibliography of Rose
along with their intriguing quotes
from everyone except Rose's new
double turbo Corvette, given to
him by Mrs. Schott, you're going
to get it.
Therefore, the obvious ques-
tion which I would like to pro-
pose, is why do we idolize sports
heros to such extremes? Is it
because we, as humans, like t o
ally ourselves with a certain
group, and so by cheering for
a team we become a companion
of tens of thousands of other
Reds supporters, or Bengal sup-
porters. Or is it that we like to
envision ourselves as a Pete Rose
or Kenny Anderson leading
our teams to victory before
50,000 delirious fans? I think
it is a combination of both. B U ~

Thompson 2-1
The Indian Hill Squaws varsity
soccer team has taken on a new
ed to change his alignment.
Struggling to develop an offensive
punch, Thompson elected to
change from three forwards to
a four forward formation and
consequently has compiled a
2-1 record since its inception
Coach Thompson feels that the
turn around is due not only to
the new alignment, but also due
to the fact that "the girls have ad-
justed to my style of coaching,
and I am beginning t o adjust to
coaching the girls."
The Squaws were really up for
their second chance at Loveland
having salvaged a 2-2 tie in
their first outing. The new form-
ation proved successful in estab-
lishing an added offensive threat
as the team defeated Loveland
4-1. Goals were scored by Tricia
Craig, Traci Finkelmeier, Chris
see SOCCER, p. 12
the one factor which sets sports
stars apart, from say, the Pres-
ident, is the incredible special
talent which they possess. We
don't see masses of people wish-
ing to be President, but rather,
they want to be a Pete Rose.
And the same principle applies to
the other facets of the entertain-
ment field. Living the life of
Sting, with a successful movie and
music career which reap him
millions would seem the ideal
life for most.
However, I'm just as suscept-
ible as the next guy in lauding
sports or entertainment heros.
For it is human nature to wish
for something such as fame and
fortune, though few will achieve
it. And while largely negative in
its tone, my column does not
intend to detract from Rose's
feat, nor to provide any answers
for rectifying this problem. My
only desire is t o see us once
again return to the days where
sports were played with integrity
and when the amateurs dominat-
ed the athletic scene. But then
again, I did buy a Pete Rose shirt
and I have thought about what
it would be like to be Sting.

school day, hundreds of Indian Hill students
file into the cafeteria t o partake of handfuls of grease
and sodium saturated fries, mounds of starchy pro-
cessed entrees, and sugary, synthetic juices. This
scene merits nightmare status in this newly health
conscious society we live in.
Sadly, most students d o not even seem t o be aware
of the disservice they are doing for themselves by in-
dulging in these "foods." Items such as french fries
and cakes have practically no nutritional value and
only do harm by festering one's body with cholester-
ol and various carcinogens. There is an almost appal-
ling lack of such items as leafy and green vegatables in
the Indian Hill student's lunch time diet.

editorial
Twenty-five years ago, President John F. Kennedy
established a program that fed on little more than the
enthusiasm of its mainly young participants: the
Peace Corps. The Peace Corps, which sends Amer-
icans abroad to work in underdeveloped countries,
has managed to thrive in its first quarter-century of
existence, and has designated October 1985-Sept-
ember 1986 as its twenty-fifth anniversary year.
An interview with 1960 Indian Hill graduate and
Peace Corpsman Alan Crew in this issue of Chieftain
gives some insight into the true attraction of the
Peace Corps, which has been described as "the tough-
est job you'll ever love." In the article, Crew not
only describes his two-year tenure in Africa, but
voices his opinions on the potential future of the
Peace Corps.
Today, a program like the Peace Corps is need-
ed Inore than ever, for the same reasons which fos-
tered its founding: the internaional understanding
and friendship created by the Corps is valuable in
allieviating the tension dhich hangs over the
world. The experience for thohc who participate
rivals none in terms of learning 21!1111t other people,
feels Crew. For this reason, ( :.,-w l ~ o p c sthat the
Peacc Corps survives.
We do, also. The Corps deserves to live t o cele-
brate a fiftieth anniversary. If it does not, not only
will future participants be deprived of a truly val-
uable experience, but the world will bc robbed of
an avenue, however stnall, for understanding be-
tween its vastly divided people.

Girls await second annual state tournarneni
by Joy Rowe
The girls7 golf team has recen-
tly added many accomplshments
to their season. The first tourna-
ment held was on September 28,
at Centerivlle, when the team
finished second behind undef-
eated Lakota. The difference be-
tween first and second was a mere
four strokes, which the team feels
can be made up in their next
meeting. Kari Craig played es-
pecially well in scoring a 5 0.
Craig once again pulled
through at Middletown on Octo-
ber 2 by scaring another 50 on
the front side of Wildwood Coun-
try Club. Joy Rowe was medal-
ist with a fouroverpar 40.
With their great improvement,
the team should be ready to be a
serious challenge in the second
annual Ohio Coaches Girls7 State
Invitational. This tournament
was started last year by Indian

The Braves' second loss of
the season came at the hands of

fourth in the city. Facing a 1-0

could not overcome the Walnut

all three of the Braves' losses have
come at the expense of top rank-
ed teams. And even with the loss
to Turpin which Coach Vockell
said, 'Would've put us in the top
ten," the team can only look with
optimism at the remainder of the
season and then into the tourna-
ment. Meyer has had an excel-
lent season and is a likely can-
idate for all-CHL, along with
Womack, who, after a slow start,
have come on strong the second
half of the season to be once

scorers. Metzger has also been a
vital part of the offensive punch, :
as he has added ten goals. How- I

Looking to the tournament
the Braves are the number one
seed for a double A school in

vides them with a bye in the first

more games left in the regular
season, the team has a chance
to improve both their record
and their play to bring a state

Coach Marc Tirey added to
Wehmann's comment, 'There is a

which are from boys' teams] and

coaches t o become members and

Braves hope to end losing streak tonight
by Bruno Darre
The varsity Braves play the
Loveland ~ i ~ e tonight
rs in what
could be a very exciting home-
coming game. Once again, aggres-
iveness and intensity are the fac-
tors the Braves will need to win.
The Braves, who are 0-3 in their
last three games, are hoping to
end this bad streak and feel that
there is no better time than to-
night.
Last week against Deer Park
the Braves' lost the game on their
failure to score twice when they
were on the Deer Park ten yard
line. The running game, having
just been changed to a three back
offense called the "Power-I," was
severely croppled when junior
Myron Cowherd sprained his ank-
le in the first half. (Cowherd has
not practiced this week and may
not play against the Tigers to-
night.) The two scores by the
Braves both came on pass plays.
Quarterback connected with Mike
Anderson for 26 yards and with
James Johnson for 15 yards.
Both extra points were converted
by Paul Alvord, but the Braves
fell short as the defense yeilded
twenty-five points.
Two weeks ago, the Braves
faced a very strong team from
Wyoming, a team which only lost
to CAPE by one point (28-27) as
Birdie Braves to compete in regionals
by Lee Tucker
The second half of the Birdie
Braves' season was highlighted by
a third-place finish in the district
tournament, which qualifies them
for the regional tournament in
Sydney, Ohio. Although losing to
Oak Hills and Mason with the ab-
sence of senior star Jeff Yost, the
Braves came back with an excep-
tional ending to their strong
season.
The Braves were en route to
their third straight district title,
but had to settle for third after
a playoff.
The team defeated Deer Park
with Yost qualifying i'or medal-
ist honors in that Inect. This
allowed the Birdie Braves to cap-
ture the league title with vital
support conling by way of strong
scores from Yost with a first-
place 70, and a fourth-place
79 by freshman Matt Sheakly.
Other contributing scores were
Chris Kropp's 83, Jim Thor-
ton's 88, and Rolf Schorr's 90.

Squaws to play
by Diane Macke
'
After starting the season out
with a losing streak, the Squaws
are now showing iapid imprnve-
ment with each game. One sore
point for the team this year has
been the team's typically slow
first half performance. Says
Coach Restinberg, "If only we
could play our first half as well
as the second."
The Squaws' most recent
match against Hamilton, while
played under adverse conditions,
reflected the 'team's ability to
battle their opponents, and tied
by a score of 1-1. The team's
sole goal was scored by fresh-
man Jenny Bath.
The week before, the team

Thompson felt the team played

they just could not seem to put

The varsity Braves began their
losing streak against the Reading
Blue Devils three weeks ago. The
Braves were playing without their
number one running back, Grey
Freudenberg, who was out with
an illness. This proved to be
painful for the Braves' offense,
which scored only one touch-
down and had eight fumbles. It
was a disappointing 35-7 loss and
as Heizman remarked, "It's not
the best we've ever played."
Hopefully, the Braves' desire
to end the three game losing

Commenting on the team's
