omore Steve Womack and junior
Curtis Ott both provided two
goals each to make the score 5-1.
"It was an easy game," said
senior triiaptain Bill Lange.
"There wasn't much action for
the Braves' defense and our of-
fense just plowed through Deer

Junior Dave Schneider broke
his leg only one minute into the
first quarter as he plowed into a
Deer Park fullback.
Last Saturday evening the
Braves played Walnut Hills and
tied 2-2. The Braves7defense held
Walnut Hills, one of the best

The Braves' offense scored
two goals for the tie. The first
goal was run in by junior Brad
McCurdy. The tying goal was
scored by Womack on a break-
away with a powerful cross shot.
Improving CC Braves heading into final week
by Paul Monach
Going into the final week be-
fore the EHL meet, the cross
country team has shown good
improvement but still seems des-
tined to finish fifth in the league.
The Braves came closer to
Wyoming September 27 than they
have in several years, losing 24 to
31 at Wpoming. IH ran well as a
team, placing its top five in the
fourth through seventh and the
dinth spots.
Junidr Paul Monach led the
Braves with a time of 19:50 on
the hilly 3.4 mile course, followed
closely by sophomore Dave Ah-
lert and freshman Rob Nichols at
20:Ol and 20:02, respectively.
Sophomore Keary Dunn contin-
ued his year-long improvement
pulling in at 20:20.
IH, with 48 points, placed
second in a Glen Este tri-meet,
September 22, defeating Amelia,
with 53 points, while losing to the
host Trojans, with 21.
The Braves' point total was
raised by the absence of Ahlcrt.
Monach, Nichols, and Dunn
placed seventh, eighth, and ninth
on the 3.1 mile course with times
of 19:10, 19:13,and 19:40.

Individual efforts aiding 3-2

The JV tcnnis team has man-
aged thus t'ar to keep an overall
record of 3-2. But far better are
the individual records of the play-
ers. Sophomore Amy Devinc has
not lost yet and senior Lori Pow-
ers has lost only one match this
season. These strong individual
cf'orts have aided greatly in the
team's success.
Thc team's most recent meet
ended up as a loss, with Country
Day squeaking by in a close 3-2
win, on Scptcmber 21. Country
Day prevailed despite the victories
of Devinc at third singles, and

Country Day the lead.

Campbell Gard September 24-25.
The Rotary Club has sponsor-

past several years to promote a n
awareness of the county's politi-
cal framework, its offices, and its
jurisdictions among high school
students.
Representing 1H amidst many
other schools county-wide, t h e
four heard presentations from
several prominent officials in
Hamilton County to gsin insight
tions and concurrence of the rest
of the English department. The
nominees were required to submit
a prepared essay as well as a timed
extemporaneous essay on a speci-
fied topic in order to demonstrate
their proficiency in a wide range
of writing skills.
Bergman's prepared essay
focused on the responsibility of
the artist, while Tassian's defend-
ed the views of Henry David
Thoreau. The timed extemporan-
eous essay which all entrants
wrote dealt with the meaning of
the "quality of life" and required
the writers t o support their views
with literary examples.
All compositions were read
and evaluated for form and con-
tent by both a high school and a
college English teacher from the ,
nominee's state. According to an
NCTE brochure, judges also

Competition: It is said to be the very force that
makes our country great. It is credited with produc-
ing high achievers and monumental achievements.
The most visible effects of competition are positive,
stressing the benefits of "the system" and its ComPe-
tition. But what happens when one is defeated by the
very thing he seeks? Then, unfortunately, a healthy
sense of competition becomes distorted into an un-
healthy and even detrimental consequence. This is
not to condemn all forms of competition, but to sug-
gest that a very destructive and very consequence
exists.
There is something;- wrong;- with "the system" when
a person is demeaned for what he lacks compared to
another, instead of praised for the qualities he does
possess. While this may be in the name of prepara-
for the harsh of such efforts are
often misguided, so much so, in fact, that one loses
sight of his true goals and distorts the value of his ef-
forts and achievements.
When one's best efforts are only met with more
demands, criticism, or perhaps the worst of all, indif-
ference, it implies that one need only to learn how t o
compete in the rat-race and face cut-throat compe-
tition. In truth, the very ones pushing us to compete
must assume the responsibility of encouraging us to
deal with our limitations and goals by helping us to

when the Squaws proceeded t o
make fifteen shots on goal. The

Cucinotta displayed her extra-

Offense the key to beating Sycamore tonight
by Kevin Walzer
Senior running back Evon
Kelly figures that the varsity
football Braves are going to have
to put together their "strong of-
fensive potential" and "outstand-
ing defense" if they are to win at
home tonight against Syca-
more.
"There's no doubt about it,
we've shown that we can have the
best offense in the league," he
said. "It's just a matter of putting
together what we can do on of-
fense and what we can do on de-
fense. If we can do that, we'll
win."
Kelly feels, also, it's just a
matter of time until the 1-3
Braves start winning often.
"We're improving, of course,
right at this point in the season.
We have the potential to blow
anybody off the field, if we put it
all together. We just haven't done'
that yet, except at the Glen Este
game."
The Glen Este iame was the
time when the Braves put togeth-
er that "outstanding defense"
with what head coach Gene
Brindise termed "controlled of-
fense" to record a 7-0 shutout of
the Trojans at Glen Este, last Fri-
day,their first win this season.
IH had to stave off a late
Trojan drive in the closing sec-
onds to notch the victory. Unab-
le to run out the clock, the Braves
punted with 1:08 left. From
their own 40 yard line, Glen Este
drove all the way down to the
Braves' five. Trojan quarterback
Marc Wilson's ensuing pass was
complete to the one. But the
Braves' defense tightened and
held on until time ran out, giving
them the close win.
The game's only score came
from Kelly, as he raced 31 yards
for the touchdown in the first
quarter. Senior David Lindner's
extra point kick was good.
Brindise felt the Braves' high
point in the game was their de-
fense. "We survived two goal-line
stands without letting Glen Este
score, which is pretty good. We
also had eleven quarterback sacks,
which is also pretty good."
The Milford Eagles scored two
touchdowns in the third quarter
to overcome a 21-8 deficit and
defeat the Braves, 22-21, on Sep-
tember 10 at Shawnee Field.
The win snapped a 14-game
losing streak for the Eagles.
CHIEFTAIN
Brindise felt it was the Braves'
best showing of their opening
three losses. "Except for a few
minutes of the third quarter, I
thought we played very well."
Those few minutes came after
the Braves rolled to a 21-8 half-
time lead. The IH offense showed
imposing depth and balance in the
first half, as the Braves opened
their scoring quickly with sopho-
more Kevin Viox running the ball

win. The first quarter was a de-
fensive battle with no score from
either team. The Trojan offense
began to move without mistakes
in the second quarter as they
drove down the field for their
first touchdown. The Trojans
went for the two-point conversion
but failed due to good defense
from sophomore Brad Wilkinson.
The second Trojan score re-
sulted from a poor snap as the
Braves were attempting to punt.
The punter was tackled inside the
Braves' 30 yard line, which set
up a Trojan drive for the score.
The attempted conversion missed.
But the Trojans led anyway, 12-0.

quarterback Jim Berling and wide
receiver Mike Anderson account-
ed for three first downs to posi-
tion the ball inside the Trojan
three yard line. After a six yard
loss, sophomore Kevin Viox
broke several tackles on an end
sweep and dove into the end zone
for the touchdown. The two
point conversion failed, leaving
the Braves six down at the end,
12-6.
The Braves went to Milford
with more confidence and enthus-
iasm than in the previous weeks.
But despite that, the Eagles
handed the Braves a 12-6 loss.
In the first quarter, the Braves'
defense held the Eagles and
forced them to punt. The ball
was downed on the Braves' one.
The next play IH fumbled on the
five, which the Eagles recovered.
They scored to take a 6-0 lead,
with sophomore Steve Misali

touchdown of the night, to bulge
the margin to 21-8.
The Braves' coach character-
ized a period of the third quarter
as "four minutes out of the game
where we didn't play well. That
was the only lapse."
That was the time when the
Milford offense began putting
together sustained drives, result-
ing in two touchdowns. That was
also the time when the Milford
defense began asserting itself,
pressing the IH offense into turn-
ing the ball over four times.
The Eagles in the third put
together two quick scores after
long drives in the third. The
Eagles scored at 8:34 and 5 :16 in
the third to go up, 22-21.
The defense also broke
through the Brave's line on nu-
merous occasions, pressuring
Wentz and junior Pete Seremetis,
resulting in their throwing four
interceptions.
But Brindise defended his
offense, saying, "We didn't let
down in the second half, just that

attempt.
In the second quarter, Viox
intercepted a pass to the Eagles'

their way the Braves were able to
score, tying the game 6-6. But the
two point conversion failed.
The Braves broke away for a
70-yard touchdown in the third,
but it was called back due to a
holding penalty. Later in the
third, sophomore nose guard Eric
Edwards was speared in the back
and had to be taken to the hospi-
tal.
In the fourth the Braves threw
an interception on the 50 yard
line and the Eagles drove for the
touchdown , giving them a 1 2 6
lead. The two-point conversion
missed due to a great defensive
play by Matt Mueller.
The Braves were not able to
score anymore during the game,
winding up with their second 12-6
loss on the year.

One of the main complaints
students have about Student Gov-
ernment is that it fails to comnlu-
nicate effectively with the student
body. Students are supposed to
be informed about Student Gov-
ernment functions through three
different mediums, the minutes in
second period, the class bulletin
boards, and the general Student
Government bulletin board. Of
the three, the minutes are by far
the most effective means of com-
munication.
Dave and I feel that the bul-
letin boards largely fall short of
achieving their purposes. The
problem with the bulletin boards
is that they are badly situated.
Currently they are located in the

Comments sophomore Tricia
Wilson, "It's really a lot of fun.
I'd recommend it to other peo-
read them between classes, and at
lunch they are not allowed in the
halls. In short, most students
cannot read the bulletin boards
during school hours.
In order to solve this problem,
we have asked the administration
to endorse a plan we have drawn
up to have the bulletin boards
moved next to the art room. This
area is passed by students every
day during their lunch periods.
Hopefully, by bringing the bulle-
tin boards to an area where the
students will be able more easily
to view them, Student Govern-
ment can begin closing its com-

Virtually unknown Bauhaus burns with their strong punk sound

Kurt dreams of Spring Break '84
KURT, from p. 7
When Kurt is not busy in the
summer, he enjoys vacationing in
Canada where he often goes fish-
ing with his brother and father.
Kurt also held a steady job where
he made the money that he plans
to spend in Ft. Lauderdale during
Spring Break '84.
But Spring Break '83 is anoth-
er matter. Kurt was a member of
the infamous "Gay Campers"
who terrorized Red River Gorge
for one week in late March. While
other IHers were tanning on the
beaches in Florida, Kurt and the
Gay Campers were roughing it in
the wild. Was it cold? "Yeah it
was real cold," said Kurt,
"and Alan Schwartz got us lost
with an out of date map." One of
his most vivid recollections is one
of Mickey Vogel "going white-
water rafting without a raft."
The trip turned out to be a
productive one, though. The
food was plentiful, and several
fine beards were produced during
the week. The Gay Campers even
set out to become acquainted
with some of the nearby folk.

Actually the "damagedv beer
is an empty bottle with a planted
live mouse inside. AS soon as
they get to the beer factory, they
exclaim, "Hey, don't be scared.
Just think of all the free beer
we'll get!" ~t this point, every-
thing goes haywire.
Bob and Doug uncover a mas-
sive plot to take over the world
by mind control via beer con-
sumption. In the manner of In-
spector Clouseau, they stumble
upon the solution. They help the
guitars, and somewhat chant-like
vocals, as well as an occasional
special effect.
These characteristics hold true
for the first two songs "She's in
Parties" and "Antonin Artaud,"
but Bauhaus proves their true
versatility on the third track,
"Wasp." It is an instrumental
featuring a clean, simple guitar
solo and a tambourine. "Wasp"
blends into "King Volcano," a
repetitive group chant.
The next song, "Who Killed
"We met a woman named Mildred
and a small, naked troll named
Earl." All in all, an unforgetful
trip.
In the future, Kurt favors pur-
suing a liberal arts education at
either Northwestern or Duke,
with a long range interest in med-
icine.
Like all high school seniors,
Kurt expresses certain apprehen-
sions about going away to college,
stating, "I'm king of worried that
I won't study enough, but I'm
sure I'll do OK. I hope Stacey
goes somewhere close, because
everybody can't go to Cornell."
Tonight, however, Kurt's at-
tention is focused on bringing
home a victory from the Syca-
more game. He can be seen on
Friday nights running and block-
ing with his unmistakable style of
ballet and grace. He's no Bay-
shnikov, but to you and me, being

Bauhaus actually sounds like
sort of a punk Pink Floyd due to
the lyrics. This is especially true
on the songs, "Burning From the
Inside" and "King Volcano," with
phrases like "razor reeds" and
"grey sleep" on "Burning From
the Inside" and "lonely people
bum like candles, only we are
clean" on "King Volcano." Like
Pink Floyd, Bauhaus' lyrics sug-
gest imminent doom, failure of
society and loneliness. Floydian
tunes have also, however, been
known to produce a last chance
through the doom as Bauhaus
does with .the final song, "Hope." '
"Hope" was only four lines:
"Your mornings will be brighter,
break the line, tear up the rules,
make the most of a million times
no."

Travelled Bachman a tested product of exchange program
by Kenneth N. Jones
Those students taking
Advanced Placement Spanish
courses this year were probably
pleased to see Mrs. Lynda
Bachman at the front of the class
during the first day of school. As
these Spanish students found
out, pleasantly or unpleasantly,
Mrs. Bachman is no rookie. She
knows Indian Hill like the back of
her hand, and for good reason.
Life started for Mrs. Bachman
up in the wintery regions of St.
Paul Minnesota. Then in fifth
grade, her family moved to that
toddlin' town, Chicago.
Commenting on the differences
between the two cities, Bachman
states, "As I grew older, I learned
to appreciate the cultural
advantages of a big town like
Chicago...the educational system
in Chicago was much better. I
guess they just force you to learn
more."
From Chicago, Mrs. Bachman
went to the University of Bowling
Green in Ohio for her college
education. Her first major
excursion into the Spanish
language came her sophomore
when she was offered an opening
on a Spanish exchange trip.
"Most of the others were juniors
and when I got there, I was lost."
After about four weeks she
settled in and started to
understand her studies at the
University of Madrid. The
challenge, as she described it, was
"to learn the language the
professor was speaking and at the
same time learn what the
professor was trying to teach."
on the spot
Who would you like to meet and where?
- Brian Rowe, John Bishop, Mike
Beth Lindner - Sting, in the Ba-
hamas.
CHIEFTAIN
Mrs. Bachman explains her
love for Spain in the following
way. "Spain as a country has its
faults, but the people enjoy life so
much. They take advantage of all
hours of the day. Life there is
very tranquil, very peaceful."
On her arrival bacE at Bowling
Green, Mrs. Bachman found
school much easier in comparison
to the education she had received
in Spain. In addition, she only
needed a few more courses to get
her degree in Spanish. To
further her education, her gradua-
tion present was a trip to Mexico.
Soon afterwards, Bachman
found herself doing even more
traveling and getting paid at the
same time. For two years she
worked as a stewardess for Pan
Am Airlines. The furthest she
ever ventured was to the Mideast.
As Mrs. Bachman puts it, "It's a
great way to see the world
Bachman smiles in a familiar environment.

without paying for it."
Mrs. Bachman's life as a
stewardess ended with her
marriage. At this time she taught
at Indian Hill for four years until
her daughter was born. It would
be ten years before Mrs. Bachman
would teach here again.
In those ten years, Bachman
moved back to Chicago to teach
business executives how t o sell,
manage, listen and hire for the
Xerox Learning System. After
four years with Xerox, she moved
to another company while doing
almost the same job. Her job
required traveling to cities such
as Philadelphia or Dallas and
giving one to three day training
conferences.
But alas, this was only a part
time job. The rest of Mrs.
Bachman's time was spent
teaching conversational Spanish at
a junior college. "I loved the

variety in the classes. The
students ranged from ages 18 to
75 and it wasn't everyday. Most
of the people wanted to learn
because they were going on a trip,
or maybe a lawyer who fourid
Spanish useful when dealing with
his client."
AS for her courses at Indian
HiU, Mrs. Bachman says, "1 en.ipy
the enthusiasm of the students
in the A.P. courses. It is always
more fun teaching if the students
want to be there." She is also a
great supporter of the exchange
program. "There is only so much
you can teach in the classroom.
Past that, the best way to learn a
language is to go places and test
what you've learned."
When the choice of a college
major came up early. in the
interview with Mrs. Bachrnan, she
said, "I've always been a jock at
heart." This statement went
unexplained until the topic of
spare time came up. It seems that
Mrs. Bachman and her husband
are triathalon enthusiasts. The
triathalon consists of three joined
events of running, biking , and
swimming. "It's absolutely
insane," says Mrs. Bachman, "I
don't run fast, I run to finish.
The good part is that I love to eat
and it's a nice way to burn off the
calories."
Mrs. Bachman seems to like
Indian Hill from her descriptions
of it. "It is easy teaching here
because I live in Indian Hill, and
all I have to do is jump in the car
and I'm here." Let's hope her
stay lasts longer so we don't have
t o wait another ten vears.

"I love to trip innocent people

Or sometimes she'll just start

Kris also broke the all-male

Kurt's 77th birthday to be celebrated on field
by Bob Rhoad
Kurt Froehlich is one of those
people who is constantly appear-
ing in every aspect of high school
life. Many of us know Kurt as a
co-captain of the football team,
an avid member of Peer Counsel-
ing, or just a friendly face in the
hall.
But did you know that Kurt is
actually a former ballet student?
Yes f ~ l k s , while attending the
School for the Creative and Per-
forming Arts in fourth and fifth
grades, the 5'103', 200 pound
center on the football team took
ballet classes which, he states,
"gave me all my gracefulness."
After his dancing career was
ended by the inability to obtain
an extra-large tutu, Kurt transfer-
red to Walnut Hills Schools for
seventh and eighth grade. Taking
part in a gifted student program,
he experienced the competitive-
ness of a big school at an early
age. At Walnut Hills, Kurt ex-
plains, "you can get lost really
easy."
After moving to his father's
house in Indian Hill, Kurt began
his freshman year of high school.
CHIEFTAIN
Her only team sport, field
hockey, "has helped her most."
She plays left link, "like the mis-
sing one," she explains. But the:
link is hardly lost. She's been
playing varsity field hockey since
freshman year and leads the team
as one of the three team captains.
"Coach Wehmann is like a
second mom to me. She really
cares - I mean she had to like us
to put up with us for four years."
Sports-minded Kris also swims
everyday after field hockey prac-
tice or in the morning. "It'd be
drastic if I didn't swim now ...I'd
have too much time on my
,hands." If that isn't enough
she throws a mean shotput for
the track team.
Obviously, the "Kris exper-
ience" couldn't be all athletics.
From representative to
sophomore class co-president,
Kris has spent many hours in
Student Government activities.
Last year she was in charge of

as the Service Committee chair-
person.

With all this schoolwork, Kurt
has found time for extra-cur-

be the other way around. "Com-
ing here was really good for my
extracurricular activities, be-
cause too many people didn't get
involved a t Walnut Hills. I got a
lot out of extracurriculars, espc-
cially football."
Football has been a big part of
Kurt's four years at IH. I t has

school, and it has also given him a
chance t o play side by side with
his older brother, Kevin. "I think
football has helped a lot. I t was

We had t o work together, so we

Geier delves into meaning of X-day phenomenon

by 95 1203 (Hugh Geier)
What ever happened to the
spirit of the Sixties? It's hard to
believe America has made such a
transition in twenty years. In
1980 we elected one of the most ,
conservative presidents in recent
American history. The Moral
Majority and other religiously af-
filiated political action groups
now wield a great deal of power
in Congress and are trying to
teach creativism in our schools.
And although there are still dem-
onstrations in Washington over
nuclear armaments, civil rights
and the environment, they are
nothing on the scale of the mas-
sive demonstrations in the sixties.

down since the sixties; they seem

Most Indian Hill students
never think twice about X-day
and its implications. It has been
drilled into our heads so that
society can't do without. In fact,
there is a great deal of prejudice
against students and former

accept the X-day tradition.
Prominent politicians such as
Falwell are saying "God doesn't

Virtually unknown Bauhaus burns with their strong punk sound
by Kathryn Kreeger
Bauhaus, the four-man British
band, has released a new album
called Burning From the Inside.
The band's punk-ish sound has
gone virtually unrecognized in the
United States. This is a great loss
because they have proven to be a
very innovative and versatile
group, especially on their new
album.
Throughout the album, Bau-
haus features a strong bass line
and drum beat, violent electric
Kurt dreams of Spring Break '84
KURT, from p. 7
When Kurt is not busy in the
summer, he enjoys vacationing in
Canada where he often goes fish-
ing with his brother and father.
Kurt also held a steady job where
he made the money that he plans
to spend in Ft. Lauderdale during
Spring Break '84.
But Spring Break '83 is anoth-
er matter. Kurt was a member of
the infamous "Gay Campers"
who terrorized Red River Gorge
for one week in late March. While
other IHers were tanning on the
beaches in Florida, Kurt and the
Gay Campers were roughing it in
the wild. Was it cold? "Yeah it
was real cold," said Kurt,
"and Alan Schwartz got us lost
with an out of date map." One of
his most vivid recollections is one
of Mickey Vogel "going white-
water rafting without a raft."
The trip turned out to be a
productive one, though. The
food was plentiful, and several
fine beards were produced during
the week. The Gay Campers even
set out to become acquainted
with some of the nearby folk.

Actually the "damagedv beer
is an empty bottle with a planted
live mouse inside. AS soon as
they get to the beer factory, they
exclaim, "Hey, don't be scared.
Just think of all the free beer
we'll get!" ~t this point, every-
thing goes haywire.
Bob and Doug uncover a mas-
sive plot to take over the world
by mind control via beer con-
sumption. In the manner of In-
spector Clouseau, they stumble
upon the solution. They help the
guitars, and somewhat chant-like
vocals, as well as an occasional
special effect.
These characteristics hold true
for the first two songs "She's in
Parties" and "Antonin Artaud,"
but Bauhaus proves their true
versatility on the third track,
"Wasp." It is an instrumental
featuring a clean, simple guitar
solo and a tambourine. "Wasp"
blends into "King Volcano," a
repetitive group chant.
The next song, "Who Killed
"We met a woman named Mildred
and a small, naked troll named
Earl." All in all, an unforgetful
trip.
In the future, Kurt favors pur-
suing a liberal arts education at
either Northwestern or Duke,
with a long range interest in med-
icine.
Like all high school seniors,
Kurt expresses certain apprehen-
sions about going away to college,
stating, "I'm king of worried that
I won't study enough, but I'm
sure I'll do OK. I hope Stacey
goes somewhere close, because
everybody can't go to Cornell."
Tonight, however, Kurt's at-
tention is focused on bringing
home a victory from the Syca-
more game. He can be seen on
Friday nights running and block-
ing with his unmistakable style of
ballet and grace. He's no Bay-
shnikov, but to you and me, being
Kurt Froehlich is just fine.
If you see Kurt macing the
halls of IH today, be sure to give
him a big "Hello" and a smile. It's
a pretty special bay for him since
he was born seventeen years ago
today. Happy Birthday Kurt!

In fact, Bob and Doug are so juv-

Bauhaus actually sounds like
sort of a punk Pink Floyd due to
the lyrics. This is especially true
on the songs, "Burning From the
Inside" and "King Volcano," with
phrases like "razor reeds" and
"grey sleep" on "Burning From
the Inside" and "lonely people
bum like candles, only we are
clean" on "King Volcano." Like
Pink Floyd, Bauhaus' lyrics sug-
gest imminent doom, failure of
society and loneliness. Floydian
tunes have also, however, been
known to produce a last chance
through the doom as Bauhaus
does with .the final song, "Hope." '
"Hope" was only four lines:

Travelled Bachman a tested product of exchange program
by Kenneth N. Jones
Those students taking
Advanced Placement Spanish
courses this year were probably
pleased to see Mrs. Lynda
Bachman at the front of the class
during the first day of school. As
these Spanish students found
out, pleasantly or unpleasantly,
Mrs. Bachman is no rookie. She
knows Indian Hill like the back of
her hand, and for good reason.
Life started for Mrs. Bachman
up in the wintery regions of St.
Paul Minnesota. Then in fifth
grade, her family moved to that
toddlin' town, Chicago.
Commenting on the differences
between the two cities, Bachman
states, "As I grew older, I learned
to appreciate the cultural
advantages of a big town like
Chicago...the educational system
in Chicago was much better. I
guess they just force you to learn
more."
From Chicago, Mrs. Bachman
went to the University of Bowling
Green in Ohio for her college
education. Her first major
excursion into the Spanish
language came her sophomore
when she was offered an opening
on a Spanish exchange trip.
"Most of the others were juniors
and when I got there, I was lost."
After about four weeks she
settled in and started to
understand her studies at the
University of Madrid. The
challenge, as she described it, was
"to learn the language the
professor was speaking and at the
same time learn what the
professor was trying to teach."

Who would you like to meet and where?

Beth Lindner - Sting, in the Ba-

CHIEFTAIN
Mrs. Bachman explains her
love for Spain in the following
way. "Spain as a country has its
faults, but the people enjoy life so
much. They take advantage of all
hours of the day. Life there is
very tranquil, very peaceful."
On her arrival bacE at Bowling
Green, Mrs. Bachman found
school much easier in comparison
to the education she had received
in Spain. In addition, she only
needed a few more courses to get
her degree in Spanish. To
further her education, her gradua-
tion present was a trip to Mexico.
Soon afterwards, Bachman
found herself doing even more
traveling and getting paid at the
same time. For two years she
worked as a stewardess for Pan
Am Airlines. The furthest she
ever ventured was to the Mideast.
As Mrs. Bachman puts it, "It's a
great way to see the world
Bachman smiles in a familiar environment.

without paying for it."
Mrs. Bachman's life as a
stewardess ended with her
marriage. At this time she taught
at Indian Hill for four years until
her daughter was born. It would
be ten years before Mrs. Bachman
would teach here again.
In those ten years, Bachman
moved back to Chicago to teach
business executives how t o sell,
manage, listen and hire for the
Xerox Learning System. After
four years with Xerox, she moved
to another company while doing
almost the same job. Her job
required traveling to cities such
as Philadelphia or Dallas and
giving one to three day training
conferences.
But alas, this was only a part
time job. The rest of Mrs.
Bachman's time was spent
teaching conversational Spanish at
a junior college. "I loved the

variety in the classes. The
students ranged from ages 18 to
75 and it wasn't everyday. Most
of the people wanted to learn
because they were going on a trip,
or maybe a lawyer who fourid
Spanish useful when dealing with
his client."
AS for her courses at Indian
HiU, Mrs. Bachman says, "1 en.ipy
the enthusiasm of the students
in the A.P. courses. It is always
more fun teaching if the students
want to be there." She is also a
great supporter of the exchange
program. "There is only so much
you can teach in the classroom.
Past that, the best way to learn a
language is to go places and test
what you've learned."
When the choice of a college
major came up early. in the
interview with Mrs. Bachrnan, she
said, "I've always been a jock at
heart." This statement went
unexplained until the topic of
spare time came up. It seems that
Mrs. Bachman and her husband
are triathalon enthusiasts. The
triathalon consists of three joined
events of running, biking , and
swimming. "It's absolutely
insane," says Mrs. Bachman, "I
don't run fast, I run to finish.
The good part is that I love to eat
and it's a nice way to burn off the
calories."
Mrs. Bachman seems to like
Indian Hill from her descriptions
of it. "It is easy teaching here
because I live in Indian Hill, and
all I have to do is jump in the car
and I'm here." Let's hope her
stay lasts longer so we don't have
t o wait another ten vears.

the series.
The $20 million project is
MacMillan's first endeavor into

Ackley indicated that the series is
"designed to appeal to suburban
school districts in which a majori-
ty of the students go to college."
The books will be promoted
this year, with distribution t o be-
gin next school year. Promotion
will be especially concentrated at
the National Council of Teachers
of English National Convention
in Denver. Ackley pointed out
that the series will not necessarily
be used at Indian Hill, but she
come from area schools.
CYSO, conducted by Mr. Teri

throughout the season. The first
concert will be at Anderson High
School, November 13 at 3:00 p.m

Other concerts include a joint
concert with the Cincinnati Sym-
phony Orchestra on April 25 and
an exchange concert with the
Louisville Youth Orchestra in late
March.
The music that the orchestra
will perform o n these concerts
ranges from classical to contem-

Ackley found the experience

Offense the key to beating Sycamore tonight
by Kevin Walzer
Senior running back Evon
Kelly figures that the varsity
football Braves are going to have
to put together their "strong of-
fensive potential" and "outstand-
ing defense" if they are to win at
home tonight against Syca-
more.
"There's no doubt about it,
we've shown that we can have the
best offense in the league," he
said. "It's just a matter of putting
together what we can do on of-
fense and what we can do on de-
fense. If we can do that, we'll
win."
Kelly feels, also, it's just a
matter of time until the 1-3
Braves start winning often.
"We're improving, of course,
right at this point in the season.
We have the potential to blow
anybody off the field, if we put it
all together. We just haven't done'
that yet, except at the Glen Este
game."
The Glen Este iame was the
time when the Braves put togeth-
er that "outstanding defense"
with what head coach Gene
Brindise termed "controlled of-
fense" to record a 7-0 shutout of
the Trojans at Glen Este, last Fri-
day,their first win this season.
IH had to stave off a late
Trojan drive in the closing sec-
onds to notch the victory. Unab-
le to run out the clock, the Braves
punted with 1:08 left. From
their own 40 yard line, Glen Este
drove all the way down to the
Braves' five. Trojan quarterback
Marc Wilson's ensuing pass was
complete to the one. But the
Braves' defense tightened and
held on until time ran out, giving
them the close win.
The game's only score came
from Kelly, as he raced 31 yards
for the touchdown in the first
quarter. Senior David Lindner's
extra point kick was good.
Brindise felt the Braves' high
point in the game was their de-
fense. "We survived two goal-line
stands without letting Glen Este
score, which is pretty good. We
also had eleven quarterback sacks,
which is also pretty good."
The Milford Eagles scored two
touchdowns in the third quarter
to overcome a 21-8 deficit and
defeat the Braves, 22-21, on Sep-
tember 10 at Shawnee Field.
The win snapped a 14-game
losing streak for the Eagles.
CHIEFTAIN
Brindise felt it was the Braves'
best showing of their opening
three losses. "Except for a few
minutes of the third quarter, I
thought we played very well."
Those few minutes came after
the Braves rolled to a 21-8 half-
time lead. The IH offense showed
imposing depth and balance in the
first half, as the Braves opened
their scoring quickly with sopho-

JV football Braves still looking for first win
by Steve Misali
Last Saturday's 12-6 loss to
Glen Este left the JV football
Braves still winless at 0-4.
After the varsity's 7-0 win
over the Trojans the previous
night, the JV entered the battle
with high hopes for their first
win. The first quarter was a de-
fensive battle with no score from
either team. The Trojan offense
began to move without mistakes
in the second quarter as they
drove down the field for their
first touchdown. The Trojans
went for the two-point conversion
but failed due to good defense
from sophomore Brad Wilkinson.
The second Trojan score re-
sulted from a poor snap as the
Braves were attempting to punt.
The punter was tackled inside the
Braves' 30 yard line, which set
up a Trojan drive for the score.
The attempted conversion missed.
But the Trojans led anyway, 12-0.
In the closing minutes of the
on the opening kickoff to the Mil-
ford 29. The Braves then drove
,down to the one, senior Todd
Hock plowing in for the score.
The Braves added another touch-

ting senior Dan Kremcheck from
35 yards out for a 14-0 lead.

second quarter to add a touch-

game the Braves' offense took to
the air. The combination of
quarterback Jim Berling and wide
receiver Mike Anderson account-
ed for three first downs to posi-
tion the ball inside the Trojan
three yard line. After a six yard
loss, sophomore Kevin Viox
broke several tackles on an end
sweep and dove into the end zone
for the touchdown. The two
point conversion failed, leaving
the Braves six down at the end,
12-6.
The Braves went to Milford
with more confidence and enthus-
iasm than in the previous weeks.
But despite that, the Eagles
handed the Braves a 12-6 loss.
In the first quarter, the Braves'
defense held the Eagles and
forced them to punt. The ball
was downed on the Braves' one.
The next play IH fumbled on the
five, which the Eagles recovered.
They scored to take a 6-0 lead,
with sophomore Steve Misali
September 30,1983 :
hit Kremchek for his second
touchdown of the night, to bulge
the margin to 21-8.
The Braves' coach character-
ized a period of the third quarter
as "four minutes out of the game
where we didn't play well. That
was the only lapse."
That was the time when the
Milford offense began putting
together sustained drives, result-
ing in two touchdowns. That was
also the time when the Milford
defense began asserting itself,
pressing the IH offense into turn-
ing the ball over four times.
The Eagles in the third put
together two quick scores after
long drives in the third. The
Eagles scored at 8:34 and 5 :16 in
the third to go up, 22-21.
The defense also broke
through the Brave's line on nu-
merous occasions, pressuring
Wentz and junior Pete Seremetis,
resulting in their throwing four
interceptions.
But Brindise defended his
offense, saying, "We didn't let
down in the second half, just that
we threw a few interceptions.
That's not going to win football
games. But we didn't punt away

attempt.
In the second quarter, Viox
intercepted a pass to the Eagles'
30. With the momentum going
their way the Braves were able to
score, tying the game 6-6. But the
two point conversion failed.
The Braves broke away for a
70-yard touchdown in the third,
but it was called back due to a
holding penalty. Later in the
third, sophomore nose guard Eric
Edwards was speared in the back
and had to be taken to the hospi-
tal.
In the fourth the Braves threw
an interception on the 50 yard
line and the Eagles drove for the
touchdown , giving them a 1 2 6
lead. The two-point conversion
missed due to a great defensive
play by Matt Mueller.
The Braves were not able to
score anymore during the game,
winding up with their second 12-6
loss on the year.

SG closes communication gap
One of the main complaints
students have about Student Gov-
ernment is that it fails to comnlu-
nicate effectively with the student
body. Students are supposed to
be informed about Student Gov-
ernment functions through three
different mediums, the minutes in
second period, the class bulletin
boards, and the general Student
Government bulletin board. Of
the three, the minutes are by far
the most effective means of com-
munication.
Dave and I feel that the bul-
letin boards largely fall short of
achieving their purposes. The
problem with the bulletin boards
is that they are badly situated.
Currently they are located in the
back halls of the school. Stu-
dents do not have enough time to

Comments sophomore Tricia
Wilson, "It's really a lot of fun.
I'd recommend it to other peo-
read them between classes, and at
lunch they are not allowed in the
halls. In short, most students
cannot read the bulletin boards
during school hours.
In order to solve this problem,
we have asked the administration
to endorse a plan we have drawn
up to have the bulletin boards
moved next to the art room. This
area is passed by students every
day during their lunch periods.
Hopefully, by bringing the bulle-
tin boards to an area where the
students will be able more easily
to view them, Student Govern-
ment can begin closing its com-
munication gap with the students.
Sincerely,
Dave Apin and

Competition: It is said to be the very force that
makes our country great. It is credited with produc-
ing high achievers and monumental achievements.
The most visible effects of competition are positive,
stressing the benefits of "the system" and its ComPe-
tition. But what happens when one is defeated by the
very thing he seeks? Then, unfortunately, a healthy
sense of competition becomes distorted into an un-
healthy and even detrimental consequence. This is
not to condemn all forms of competition, but to sug-
gest that a very destructive and very consequence
exists.
There is something;- wrong;- with "the system" when
a person is demeaned for what he lacks compared to
another, instead of praised for the qualities he does
possess. While this may be in the name of prepara-
for the harsh of such efforts are
often misguided, so much so, in fact, that one loses
sight of his true goals and distorts the value of his ef-
forts and achievements.
When one's best efforts are only met with more
demands, criticism, or perhaps the worst of all, indif-
ference, it implies that one need only to learn how t o
compete in the rat-race and face cut-throat compe-
tition. In truth, the very ones pushing us to compete
must assume the responsibility of encouraging us to
deal with our limitations and goals by helping us to
develop a positive self-perception and just apprecia-

record the shutout.
"We went in really confident,"

The Squaws lost again to the
number two ranked Walnut Hills
last Saturday evening, 4-1.
"Small mistakes turn into big
mistakes when you're playing a
good team." commented Coach
Ott. "Overall, I was impressed
with the girl's play."
Sophomore Chris Hall made
the only goal for the team in the
second quarter, leading then1 into
the third only one goal behind.
"It was after Walnut's third goal,"
said Ott, "that the girls got dis-
couraged and gave up."
The Squaws beat the Loveland

September 22. Chris Hall and
senior Robin Branso~n provided
the winning goals.
Within the last eighteen sec-
onds of the game the Squaws had
a penalty shot called on them for
handling the ball. The high point
of the game was when Cucinot-
ta saved the one-on-one penalty
kick that could have resulted in a
tie.
When the Squaws played a-
gainst Madeira on September 20,
the game resulted in a stalemate,
though both aggressivc offense
and heavy defense were shown by
the Squaws.
The first quarter of the game
was slow, but the pace increased
when the Squaws proceeded t o
make fifteen shots on goal. The
defense also picked up pace in the
second half, keeping the ball o n
Madeira's side most of the time.
Cucinotta displayed her extra-
ordinary goalie abilities by mak-
ing ten saves.
Fairfield beat the Squaws 2-1

Bergman, Tassian win NCTE award
by Nancy Hopple
Seniors John Bergman and
Kitsa Tassian became the most
recent in a long line of IH stu-
dents to win the National Council
of Teachers of English (NCTE)
Achievement Award in Writing.
Their accomplishments mark
the twelfth consecutive year that
at least one IH student has won
the award and the first time in
about nine years that two IH
students have won.
NCTE sent nomination blanks
-S to 18,400 high schools across the
~ s
-p country and, depending on the
school's 10-12 enrollment,
accepted from one to eight nomi-
nees from each. Out of approxi-
'E mately 36,000 nominees entered
-2 in the contest, only 800 received
'1 the award. Besides placing
Bergman and Tassian in the top
2% of the entrants, these numbers
indicate the low odds of having-
two winners at any one school.

Four seniors attend semtnar
by Kitsa Tassian
Seniors Mike Feltman, Nancy
Hopple, Jon Kitei, and Kitsa
Tassian attended a weekend semi-
nar on county government, spon-
sored by the Rotary Club of Cin-
cinnati, held at the YMCA Camp
Campbell Gard September 24-25.
The Rotary Club has sponsor-
ed and organized the event for t h e
past several years to promote a n
awareness of the county's politi-
cal framework, its offices, and its
jurisdictions among high school
students.
Representing 1H amidst many
other schools county-wide, t h e
four heard presentations from
several prominent officials in
Hamilton County to gsin insight
tions and concurrence of the rest
of the English department. The
nominees were required to submit
a prepared essay as well as a timed
extemporaneous essay on a speci-
fied topic in order to demonstrate
their proficiency in a wide range
of writing skills.
Bergman's prepared essay
focused on the responsibility of
the artist, while Tassian's defend-
ed the views of Henry David
Thoreau. The timed extemporan-
eous essay which all entrants
wrote dealt with the meaning of
the "quality of life" and required
the writers t o support their views
with literary examples.
All compositions were read
and evaluated for form and con-
tent by both a high school and a
college English teacher from the ,
nominee's state. According to an
NCTE brochure, judges also
looked for a writer's "powers to
inform and move an audience
through control of a large range
of the English language." Judges
then selected winners in prepor-
tion with the state's population.

Students also participated in a
mock trial with the help of two
professional lawyers and a judge,
giving them a chance to under-
stand first-hand the proceedings
of a court trial.
