as I see it . .

For the past twenty years, drugs have always been,

and probably always will be, a part of high schools.

Indian Hill High School is no exception. Throughout

the late 197OYs, Indian Hill was regarded as a school

with a serious drug problem. Instances such as

parents fearing to send their children to the junior high due to its proximity to the high school were not

uncommon. However, within the past few years, many positive

steps have successfully combatted and deterred Indian Hill's drug problem. The credit in destroying Indian Hill's drug problem is shared by many. First

of all, area parents and students directly involved in

drug situations have given their time and effort in con~mmunicating to the community through drug

awareness presentations. Through these presenta-

tions, the entire IH community was exposed to what

drugs can do to the individual and his or her family. In addition, the IH administration has also played a

key role in curbing drug usage in school. Prior to

1980, students could be given a mere warning for the

first offense of usage, sale or possession of drugs.

Now, in school drug users face possible suspension or expulsion for their first offense. However, as assis-

tant principal Mr. Gary Gellert states, "In the past

two years there hasn't been one case in which we

didn't expel a student for use, sale or possession of

drugs." Also, strict supervision of the smoking

lounges, once havens for drug abuse, has lead to a

drastic reduction in school drug usage. Lastly, the return of many IH students from

Straight Inc. exemplifies clearly that drug users can

be rehabilitated. Many students may have observed

drug users high in school, only to witness their return

twelve months later as a changed and different drug-

free person. These four factors are by no means the only rea-

sons for the successful fight against Indian Hill's drug

problem. The end result, however, is that our school

has become a more suitable institution for higher

education.

'Should voluntary prayer be

al lowed in public schools?' by John Bergman '

One of the most heated topics

that has ever been discussed or

acted upon is certainly religion. I

would venture to say that other

than sheer hunger, it is probably

the most motivating of all human conditions. It is no wonder then

that arguments about the applica-

tion of certain aspects of religion

to everyday life abound. One of

the issues which presents itself

every year, particularly at this

time, is that of prayer in school.

"Should voluntary prayer be

allowed in public schools?" and if

so, "Just precisely what is volun-

tary prayer?" These are the two

most basic of the questions im- bedded into this issue. They pre- sent many moral implications, too

vast to be covered in one article,

but still, basic overview of the

two opinions on the matter can

and should be taken.

The conservative point of view

is as predictable as it is fervently

defended by its advocates. "We

are living in the times of vast

crime and violence. People have

forgotten, or worse, rejected the

basic moral foundation on which

society must be based. Children

are not being taught these morals.

They will emulate the corruption

that they see around them. The

only way to stop this corrup-

tion," they say, "is to bring re-

ligion back into the classroom."

No student can constitutionally

be forced to pray, but to prevent

students who do wish to, is to

punish them for their moral

beliefs. "Hence, children who do

not wish to participate in the

daily prayer should be able to go

somewhere else, while the rest of

the class proceeds."

As I see it, the above proposal

and all others that I have heard on

the matter would be, at best, in-

tolerable and, at worst, dan- gerous. Certainly, the crime and violence rate is tragically high,

and certainly I would be hard

pressed to argue that crime would not fall if more people lived in

strict accordance with the ten commandments, but public

school is not the place where they

or any other religious material should be preached. One of the

great aspects of our constitution

is that it clearly states the separa-

tion between Church and State.

Everyone in this country who

has been through elementary

school should know this, yet, at

any given moment in time, at

least half the people act like they

don't. Obviously, everyone

should and does have the right to

go to parochial school, but the

moment he " stoops to go to pub-

lic school," he must give up the

right to maintain a prayer as a

part of the regular curriculum.

As for the argument that any

children who did not want to

pray would be allowed to leave

the classroom, I can only say that

it places too much of an incon-

venience between a student and

his constitutional right. A third grader who bases his decisions

about what to wear each day on

what his classmates will think, should not have to make compli-

cated judgements on whether or

not to make public statements

about his religion.

Let me stress here, that I do

not wish to imply that the boy or

girl who chooses to dently say

grace before a meal, for example,

should in any way be punished.

This is an individual action which

imposes nothing on fellow class

members, and therefore, does not

in any way inpinge upon their

rights.

Pauls renovate outside garden areas by John Christine

The gravel and grass garden

areas between the sidewalks of

/ Ottawa and the high school have

recently been refurbished with

new sod, bushes, and trees.

The scenery change is largely

due to the Paul family, 8700 Pipe- well Lane, who were instrumental

in organizing the planting of the

shrubbery. Mrs. Bonnie Paul, who

has done the brunt of the work, received funds from the adminis-

trations of both schools and the

board of education. Senior class

advisor Tom Norman also con-

tributed a donation.

Mrs. Paul has mostly directed

her efforts to the large garden,

while her husband Lawrence and

son Eric have planted shrubbery

and laid mulch along the walls of

the auditorium and Ottawa. With

the exception of one worker, the

Pauls have done all of the work

themselves.

Golfers 3-5 but by Brian Rowe

Despite its 3-5 start, Indian Hill's boys' varsity golf team

looks to have another fine season.

After defeating Sycamore last week, everyone is very optimistic

about winning the EHL Cham-

pionship, for Sycamore has

always been Indian Hill's toughest league foe.

Coach Bob West, clad in a new jazz-inspired golfing hat, echoes

his team's confidence. "This year

will definitely be a reversal of last

year, when we started out well

and ended poorly. I look for a great October."

West stresses that consistency

is the key to success. "All we

need are five good rounds and no

one will be able to touch us."

So far this year, the Braves

have defeated Norwood, Syca-

more, and Fairfield while losing

still hopeful to Elder, St. X, Milford, McNicho-

las, and Wyoming. Bill Louder

has been the low team scorer in

each match with a sterling stroke

average of 38 strokes per nine

holes.

Since last year the team has

only lost one varsity player, grad-

uate Roger Stultz. Three letter-

men from last year, sophomore

John Bishop, junior Bill Louder, and senior Jay McFarland all re-

turn from last season. The team

is rounded out by returning var-

sity player Andy Plate and new-

comer Jim Hall.

The transition of boys' sports

to a class double "A" also is

encouraging. This means that Indian Hill will be much more competitive in the district, sec-

tional, and possibly state com-

petitions in the post-season play.

Teamwork stressed for field hockey Squaws by Gretchen Kindel

Varsity field hockey coach

Carol Wehmann's main goal for

this season is "to be able to work

as a team." As seen in the squad's

first two games, this goal may

already be reality, despite the fact

that many new faces are filling

the spots which were left by the

graduating seniors.

In their fust match, on Thurs-

day, September 2, the Squaws suffered a 5-0 loss to Fairmont

East, one of leading teams in the

city. Because of the fact that it

was a non-league game, Wehmann played most of the players in

order to see how well they

played together.

By the second game, the play-

ers became more accustomed to each other and played more as a

team. The Squaws defeated

Lebanon in their first league

game, 3-0. Speed and the expe-

rienced defense were the keys to

their success. Two goals were

scored by junior Mary Howe

and one was scored by sophomore

and new varsity player Amy

Wiatt.

Most of all, Wehmann was

pleased with the support of the

team, The Squaws coach believes

that "field hockey is well-sup-

ported and the students want to

maintain a successful team ." This was shown when forty-five

IH girls tried out in August.

The Indian Hill girls' varsity

tennis team has always been very spirited, and this year is no excpe- tion. The team only has nine players this year, but they make

up for their small number with their positive attitude. The

team's goal is to regain the State Championship title they won in

1980. Last year they were run- ners-up.

The team made a good start in reaching their goals; they're un-

defeated so far this season.

Mariemont was Indian Hill's most

recent victim. They were tough, but Indian Hill kept control,

coming up with a 3-2 victory. In previous matches, Indian Hill wcin easilv against Ursuline and Deer Park. -2

game for his fighting. The game was immediately stopped.

Glen Este, who h leading the league right now handed the Braves their only lzague loss,

4-2. The Troians jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead, but Indian Hill fought back within one. The clock then ran out on the Braves while Glen Este added one more goal for the road.

The Braves first three games

were scheduled as a warm-up for league play. The Braves defeated Moeller, 3-2, but lost to Ander- son, 4-0, and Hamilton, 6-1. In losses the team had trouble spreading out the play into the comers. The Braves hope to in- clude this facet of their game in practice.

On the Braves sharp improve- ment captain Dan Greene added, 'We still have room for improve-

ment." The Braves hope to do well in the new Eastern Hills League tournament in October

that was added this year. In the regular season Indian Hill only

plays each league team once.

ut winning* In another three-set match,

Lynne Schneebeck and Wendy Garfield proved Indian Hill's' eagerness to win this year. Losing

the first set, 4-6, Schneebeck and Garfield came back to win a close second set, 7-5. They then fell behind in the third set 2-5. Win-

ning the next game, they fought

off a matchpoint at 3-5. From then on they dayed infallible

tennis, winning the set, 7-5, and

the match.

Indian Hill opened this season against Sycamore, crushing mem,

5-0.

Last Saturday morning, the Braves faced Finneytown with new quarterback hlike Wentz. With Ed Tschan back in action, the Braves' defense stopped the run and gave the offense good fidd position. The Braves scored first on a series of op-

tions run by Kevin Viox. The half ended with the Braves

leading 6-0. The third quarter was dominated by the Bnnw, but the fourth quarter was a dif- ferent story. Finneytown inter-

cepted a lateral and tied the

game up at 6-6. The Wildcats were able to move the ball well,

and the Braves had to watch a 32 yard field goal go through

All of the players have great confidence in the team. Indian

Hill's first singles player Farley

said, 'We lost some players this season, but our team effort and spirit have pulled us through each

match so far." Abbott and Garfield hold the

same attitude. Garfield com- mented, "Even though the team is small, everyone gives 100 per- cent."

Abbott agreed, "So far we've pulled through on every match; we're playing tough, and we're undefeated!"

Recently, Mrs. Carol Web-

often prided itself as a center of academic excellence, but Mrs. Wehmann's achievement exempli- fies how this pride extends to

sports as well. Wehmann was chosen as the

representative for the south-west-

ern district, one of the six dis- tricts in Ohio. From each of

these districts, one representative was chosen to meet in Columbus

as an advisory committee to the Ohio Athletic Association. Their

function is to discuss pending rules pertinent to girls' sports.

Wehmann is pleased to have

load of vicious, drunken redneck

types ready to go at it in the

name of a blocked exit in the 1-71

Sohio station and we, dressed to

the teeth and armed only with a

lead pipe, trying desperately to

pump a dollar's worth of gas be-

fore the thing blew up in our col-

lective face.

UnpIeasant, to be sure, but an

entire article's worth of unpleas-

antness? We'll have to see about

that.

The plain and ugly truth of

the matter is that it's Wednesday

night, and this paper is mucho

hurtin'. You wanna talk hurtin'?

Let's talk one page in twelve

any where near completion. This

article best be f i n ' some serious

space.

Enough of this digressive gib-

berish. I'll get back to the race

riot that was brewing only a few

paragraphs back, but first, some

background.

Unbeknownst to us, Grace

Kelley was careening towards her

death as we headed down to the

Vernon Manor that night. All

manner of bloated social crawler

was present, and our enthusiasm

for any dance waned almost in-

stantly. It became not a question

of whether we would leave, but

one of just how early we could

escape from these seething swine,

any way.

A t about 11:30, we said to

ourselves, and 1 quote, "lt's about

time to make our move." We told

our hostesses bye-bye and headed

out into the big, bad streets of

Clifton.

I could talk about 1-71 for a

while; maybe tell about my

dream of painting its entire, wide-

open surface red, white, and blue

before this decade is out, but I'm

afraid that would be useless.

Most of my loyal readers, being

the travelled, cosmopolitan types

they simply must be, have seen

that stretch of road from almost

every conceivable angle; any

more writing about it could only

be redundant.

Suffice it to say, we lashed the

01' sedan all the way to Kenwood

that night, and we barely lived to

tell the tale.

Off 71 at the Kenwood exit.

Took a right. Should have gone

left. As it was we had to enter

Certainly. But wc braved the

The question, a pivotal one as

you soon will see, is, "Just how safe a net do your black and

white automobiles form, Lincoln

The answer is, "Not very."

see one, and this one obviously fit

the description. Kinda' does your

heart good to know that human-

ity has been saved from the savage

claws of the very same party you

had planned on attending only

minutes earlier.

It would soon become evident

to those of us in the car that our

local sheriff really knows where

his priorities lie when it comes to

stamping out crime. The party

we had been going to was, in a

word, busted. As we would soon

learn, though, a potentially death-

producing brawl was cropping up

less than a mile away. Sheriff

Lincoln P. Stokes' men, in all

their partyquashing zeal, would

be less than prompt in responding

to that little piece of violent un- rest.

Let's see, where we were when

I got off on that dangerously po-

litical tangent? Ah, yes. The

party was being nailed to the pro-

verbial wall.

A t that point, we decided it

would be in our best interest if we

were to turn on our tail and beat

a hasty retreat out of that sub-

division.

We did, but not before a pipe-

wielding encounter with a drink

the car and pickup made up with

each other and left. When three

back to normal.

Honestly, would you have put

lmoney on the Braves to be 2-0

after two weeks? Not even Coach

Gene Brindise would predict out- comes. And here are the Braves

moving into league play with two

wins.

Tonight the Braves will look

for their third win of the year.

It would be their first league vic-

tory in two years. The Glen Este

Trojans, 19-0 winners over Indian

Hill last year, will provide the

opposition. The Braves' coach

expects them to be the toughest

test so far. "They are a good

passing team with very good team

speed," Brindise said. "We're

going to have to play heads-up

ball."

The Braves fust win was the

result of a late comeback. After

trailing, 13-0, the Braves scored

on a touchdown run by John

Fitzmaurice, and after marching

Braves' coach felt the team

"didn't really play to their best

level yet," but it was still good

for a shutout by the Indian Hill

defense. Finneytown's score

came on a fumble which was

returned from almost midfield.

That score came after the

Braves found paydirt twice in the

finst half. Fitzmaurice carried

for the fust touchdown, and

Arnold went around the left end

for the second Braves' score.

In the second half, the Braves

relied on smart defense, including

two blocked passes by Chris

Devine, an interception and a well

played on-side kick. Fitzmaurice

rambled in for one more score in

the second half, his third of the

season. "Any mistakes we are making

right now are correctable ones,"

said linebacker Kevin Froehlich.

"We've got some experience and

some new talent, so I really think we will continue to improve all

tough transition from wide re-

ceiver to quarterback in hopes of

balancing, the Braves' attack. So

far, Brindise is "pleased with the

transition" he has made, but

Arnold would still prefer to be on

the receiving end.

CC Braves running well against EHL foes by Paul Monach

The Indian Hill cross country

team, with recent strong showings

against EHL opponents, looks to

keep or improve upon it's third

place EHL finish last year.

While defending champion

Sycamore is almost a sure bet to

repeat as winners, the Braves have a good shot at second. This

chance was increased in the

team's most recent meet on Tues- day, September 14. In this meet

Indian Hill, with 35 points, de-

feated EHL opponents Deer park,

with 45 points and Glen Este,

with 48 points. Richard Strad-

ling's second-place time of 18 : 05

and Rob McVicker's finish at

18:57 led the team to victory.

Glen Este was last year's EHL

runner-up. Now only Milford and

Mariemont, both of which the Braves defeated in the EHL last

year, stand as possible competi-

tion for second place. Coach Jim

Benken voiced his optimism by

saying, quite simply, 'We are now

definately a powerhouse in the

EHL."

Last Saturday the Braves

finished ninth of sixteen in a

moderately strong field i n the

Reading Invitational at French

park. On this course, con-

sidered one of the most difficult

in Ohio, the Braves were up

against primarily AA but also

some AAA schools. Of this, only

three AA schools defeated the

Braves. The team was again led

by Stradling's time of 15:17 on

Soccer Squaws fig b ing off inexperience by Shelly Stanforth

Due to inexperience the soc- cer Squaws have gotten off to a

slow 0-5-1 start this season. As

the season continues the team is

becoming more familiar with

working together. After every

game coach Rick McFadden has

said, 'We could have and should

have won that game." The mem-

bers of the team have the talent

and skills and are now beginning

to use them collectively.

Most recently the Squaws lost

a close game 2-0 to last year's

league champion Mariemont.

The team broke it's losing

streak, tying 1-1 with Hamilton. Robyn Hiett and Sally

Ulmer handled the goalkeeping

while the lone Indian Hill goal

was scored by Amy Carmen.

In the Squaws' league games

both Sycamore and Glen Este

controlled the fourth quarter to

win handily 5-1 and 4-1 respec-

tively. Until the last quarter both

games were closely fought.

This is the first year the girl's

soccer program has a junior var-

sity team. Many of the junior

varsity players also contribute on

the varsity team. These Squaws

senior explained, "but I 'want to

do what is best for the team. I really do feel very comfortable at

quarterback, though."

The Braves' second year coach

was asked if the'tiwo opening wins

might provide a little relief after

the pressure of a 1-9 season. A side-to-side nod defeated that

theory quickly.

'We won't breathe any sighs until the season is over. We still must take it one game at a time."

Brindise gives a lot of the cred-

it this year to his coaching staff.

So far this inexperience has

hurt the team's play. The Squaws

hope the young players like Chris

Hall and Sally Ulmer will mature

quickly. Seniors Shelly Stan-

Hiett are providing the team's

leadership. The defense looks

towards Holly Rodes and Theresa

posal?" you ask. Well, uh, lotsa stuff. MusicaI stuff, for instance. Lisa has been playing piano for many a year. "I really like to just sit down and play for an hour." Her favorite composer is Chopin.

Another of her favorite pm times, believe it or not, is her job. Lisa worked at King's Island this

year as a guardette, using her brute strength and imposing physique to ward off angry mobs from the likes of Scooby Doo. "You get these liftb jerks who come up, pulling on their tails and

punching them." When she isn't dealing with seething masses of blood-thirsty little beasts, Lisa either has 'To say 'Hi' t a peaple and be friendly and say stupid lit- tle things," (the park's characters aren't allowed to talk) or she gets

to rest. "I'm paid for eight hours, but I really only work four," she

explains. 'We go to the lounge and we just sit around and watch t . ~ . or eat."

It seems that eating is yet another of Lisa More's passions.

About her sophomore year trip to Aixen-Provence, she comments, "That's why I loved France; the

food is so good." Lisa hopes to return to the land of wine and cheese for a year in college. (Which she plans to attend "somewhere in the East; or in the South; or in the Southeast" If

none of those regions pan out, she says she'll go North.) 1

I could go on and on about Lisa's neatness fetish ("I can't go

to sleep if my room is a mess"), her love for drawing and painting, her opinion of Indian Hill High

School, and a few dozen other things. But I've got a better idea.

I by Bi Skidmore

The Who have done it again - they've dipped into the vat of

creativity and found another masterpiece - It's Hard. It's Hard is a smooth and polished album, yet another Who classic.

Side one consists of six taste- fully done songs. The record opens with its single, "Athena." Roger DaItrey, lead singer, exer- cises hh vocal talents in this

track, with Pete Townshend han- dling back-ups. John Entwistle, the "Quiet One," gets his turn in "It's Your Turn," ridiculing both himself and his fans. "You can take the fans and the enemiestThe little girls who squeeze and teasel

They pass on their social disease/ Go get your penicillin."

bbCooks County" airs next, fol- lowed by the title track "It's Hard." Townshend delves again

into the difficulty of Me, adding at the end: "Deal me another hand Lord, this one's very hard."

John Entwistle writes and sings the next song. "Dangerous"

is a fantastic song, with several interesting bridges - Entwistle's

best song since "My Wife."

Townshend concludes side one with a composition called "Emi- nence Front."

Side two is every bit as brill& ant as side one. The longest song on the record, "I've Known No War" echoes Townshend's pacifist

sentiment. A slow song, "One Life's Enough" is followed by

Entwistle's final composition, "One at a Time." Daltrey's voice along with Kenny Jones' percus- sion make the next song, "Why Did I Fall For That." Townshend f d e s off the album with "A Man is a Man" and 'Try ff You Want."

Despite The Who's brilliance

in their latest album, The Who of the 1980's (Face Dances and It's Hard) lack a key element they

possessed in the sixties and early

seventies - enthusiasm! I mean, "A Man is a Man" is not exactly the sort of song one would smash a guitar after, whereas in Quadro- phenia and Who's Next enthusi-

But aside from his glamorous dream, Erik has some meaningful

and reflective views on life. He strongly believes in the good of the human race and believes that

the world will never end in the hands of a nuclear holocaust.

This optimism can be seen in Erik even in the little or trivial things

he does.

Eric prefers the rural life

compared to the urban one. "I want to live somewhere in the

country or on the sea coast where the air is clean. I just want to live

in a place that's as easysoing as I am, where I can get plenty of

sleep! " Discussing his final year at

Indian Hill, Erik says, "I'm glad to be getting out, but I want to get as much as possible out of my

Day," "Love Plus One," and "Favourite Shirts."

Bob Sargeant, who has pro- duced for such ska luminaries as The English Beat, works with the quintet to create a tight, rhythm- drenched sound which should

make the album a dancelparty classic. Lyrics are secondary (generally either enigmatic, unin- telligible, or both), and the only real lead instrument is Phil Smith's sax.

However, the dominant beat

makes the record no les fun to just "sit down and li, 1 en to."

From the all-out funk power of "Favourite Shirts" to the out of control Afro-Brazilian sound of

"Kingsize," the sheer diversity of rhythmic texture is reason enough to buy the disc.

Why such a highquality, pop- oriented piece of vinyl has es- caped the attention of America's stagnant radio establishment is

Mr. Jim Stacey thinks veovle by John Lilly

Somewhere deep in the annals of American commercial radio lies the name of the first station manager in the country to use ratings to determine what songs would be played on his piece of the airwaves. He should be shot.

The ratings system, which often dictates that only bands who have had hits should get substantial airplay, poses a Catch-22 situation to any group

trying to break into the mainline radio scene.

One band which has managed to do fairly well despite stone-

walling on the part of mid-Amer- ica's musical media is the British- based Haircut 100. Their debut album, Pelican West, released ear-

lier this year, has slowly but surely climbed its way up the

charts. No wonder. A combination of

funk-pop guitar lines and an incredibly danceable beat should

have made Pelican West a radio staple from the day of its release. In England, the record did yield -jhree mon-der hits: "Fansic

The punk takes the grandparents to Norway

by Richard Strdling "This is going to be terrible," I

said to myself as I tried to load my grandparents into our plane's loading shute at Kennedy Inter- national Aitport this past July.

As I took one last look back

through the crowd at my waving parents, I thought of how diffi- cult it was going to be looking after two people almost four time

times my age who thought they were looking after me. The sim- ple fact is my grandfather is nearly blind and my grandmother

is practically deaf, and just navi- gating Kennedy, I was beginning to see why patience is a virtue.

Once having landed in Oslo, Norway (that's right, all this plus a foreign country too), we searched for our tour bus. I had always heard that these tours were frequented by old people, and I found that to be very true. The closest anyone came to my robust 17 was a 36-year old travel agent from Cleveland, whom I

for one of these old people to get motion sickness or slip a disc get- ting on the bus. Sitting by myself (I was one of the few on the tour without a spouse), I was taking in the countryside and getting used to the fact that I was in a foreign

country. As we drove further, a funny

feeling came over my stomach,

and I prayed for a rest stop. As my condition worstened, I began to look around for somewhere "convenient" to get sick. Then it

happened. I grabbed for a plastic trash holder and proceeded to fill it. The lqdy in front of me turned

Directly behind me sat my

'Diva' obscure but fine film dies, she leaves some revealing objects in the mailman's bikerack

obscure enough to not be recog- nized at first mention? People

like you are responsible for making my job difficult.

Well as it turns out, I should be considered among the ex-

The story revolves around the taping of one of the diva's con-

the tape is even more valuable.

As it turns out, a teenage mailman has record&. the diva only be- cause he wants to have a personal recording of the voice with which

Is Erik really regular?

At least he thinks so ... by Jonathan Groome

When Erik Allaben was asked to describe himself in one phrase, he replied: "Easy going but

crazy, fun to be around, spirited, and just a regular kind of guy." One might agree with the first

three answers, but it's doubtful just how "regular" Erik redly is.

Erik's intense participation in school activities is something that

few can beat. He has been on the Legend staff two years and is this

year's magazine editor. Erik has run Cross Country and track

throughout his high school career and has played on the basketball

team two years and intramurals one year. Erik loves the "com-

getic personality and noncon- formity.

About Indian Hill, Erik feels

that it is "as good as you make it and it's got all the potential a high

school needs, especially spirit." Erik could be called the epitome of the class spirited. "I think I yell the loudest at the football

games - seeing my school kick butt means a lot to me."

Other things that mean a lot to Erik are his future goals and perspectives on life. Erik hopes to attend either the University of

almost any chain of disjoint ideas. Coming from Lisa, even the above list would almost seem rational.

The punk takes the grandparents to Norway

by Richard Strdling "This is going to be terrible," I

said to myself as I tried to load my grandparents into our plane's loading shute at Kennedy Inter- national Aitport this past July.

As I took one last look back

through the crowd at my waving parents, I thought of how diffi- cult it was going to be looking after two people almost four time

times my age who thought they were looking after me. The sim- ple fact is my grandfather is nearly blind and my grandmother

is practically deaf, and just navi- gating Kennedy, I was beginning to see why patience is a virtue.

Once having landed in Oslo, Norway (that's right, all this plus a foreign country too), we searched for our tour bus. I had always heard that these tours were frequented by old people, and I found that to be very true. The closest anyone came to my robust 17 was a 36-year old travel agent from Cleveland, whom I

quickly befriended, with the rest being of the retirement vintage.

The next day, we were sched- uled to leave bright and early for the mountains. I scrambled down to breakfast and on seeing no one I recognised, served myself from

the buffet table. Upon finishing a bowl of corn flakes with some rancid tasting milk on it, I won-

dered if this was one of the "Viking" breakfasts the brochure

talked about. I was reunited with my grand-

parents on the bus (they had cleverly eaten in a different res-

taurant to confuse me), and our tour of the flords began. As we

entered the main highway (a road not unlike our very own Drake) I wondered how long it would take

for one of these old people to get motion sickness or slip a disc get- ting on the bus. Sitting by myself (I was one of the few on the tour without a spouse), I was taking in the countryside and getting used to the fact that I was in a foreign

country. As we drove further, a funny

feeling came over my stomach,

and I prayed for a rest stop. As my condition worstened, I began to look around for somewhere "convenient" to get sick. Then it

happened. I grabbed for a plastic trash holder and proceeded to fill it. The lqdy in front of me turned

and gave an annoyed look as I wretched again.

Directly behind me sat my

grandparents, dbviously oblivious to my state of health. I didn't

feel much like talking, but it took some persuading to let them

know I was sick. Finally, the annoyed-looking lady went to get our guide, and the proper ar-

rangements were made for me and my box.

By day's end, I knew everyone

on the tour. Not only was I the only person who wasn't alive during the Korean War, but I had

'Diva' obscure but fine film dies, she leaves some revealing objects in the mailman's bikerack

by Ron Jones Many good movies have come

out over the summer. That's

obvious. And chances are good that the average Indian Hiller has seen or heard about a movie and

knows about the quality or worthlessness of any movie. How in the world am I to find a movie

obscure enough to not be recog- nized at first mention? People

like you are responsible for making my job difficult.

Well as it turns out, I should be considered among the ex-

tremely lucky. Not only did I find a movie obscure enough, but I also found one that did not make me regret my decision.

Diva stands out in my mind

as one of my more extraordinary movie experiences. For one, the movie is a foreign film from France with captions. However, I know any IHer can handle it. Even with this minor hindrance, the movie is good.

The story revolves around the taping of one of the diva's con-

certs. The tape, of course, is a private recording, and since this singer has never recorded before,

the tape is even more valuable.

As it turns out, a teenage mailman has record&. the diva only be- cause he wants to have a personal recording of the voice with which

he has fallen in love. On the other hand, two Korean pirateers

wish to make some big bucks off the recording.

Does this sound like an ex- tremely simple plot? Then let's add some more problems to it. In the same side of town, the next

day, a woman is killed because

I was still cautious as to what I ate, and the next day went with- out incident. I thought I was out of the woods. The main highway

had digressed at this point to a one lane road with an occasional widening to allow oncoming cars

at approximately 10: 30 Nor- wegian time, it struck again.

Is Erik really regular?

At least he thinks so ... by Jonathan Groome

When Erik Allaben was asked to describe himself in one phrase, he replied: "Easy going but

crazy, fun to be around, spirited, and just a regular kind of guy." One might agree with the first

three answers, but it's doubtful just how "regular" Erik redly is.

Erik's intense participation in school activities is something that

few can beat. He has been on the Legend staff two years and is this

year's magazine editor. Erik has run Cross Country and track

throughout his high school career and has played on the basketball

team two years and intramurals one year. Erik loves the "com-

getic personality and noncon- formity.

About Indian Hill, Erik feels

that it is "as good as you make it and it's got all the potential a high

school needs, especially spirit." Erik could be called the epitome of the class spirited. "I think I yell the loudest at the football

games - seeing my school kick butt means a lot to me."

Other things that mean a lot to Erik are his future goals and perspectives on life. Erik hopes to attend either the University of

Michigan or Ohio State Univer- sity. What would Erik do at these gargantuan schools? "I'd like to major in aerospace engineering. I

but Lisa's pretty smart. by John Lilly

When I hear the name Lisa More, all sorts of words instantly

pop into my head. Words like "envelope," "execute," "Lin- coln," "tractor," "platyhel- mintes." That string of images may

seem odd to the casual reader, but as anyone who has met her knows, to understand Lisa More's train of thought is to understand

almost any chain of disjoint ideas. Coming from Lisa, even the above list would almost seem rational.

Yes, it's true; this girl does have a habit of coming out with some fairly strange utterances at some extremely strange times. But then again, I suppose Lisa has

the right to think any way she wants. She certainly didn't get

mountain, or field at her dis-

posal?" you ask. Well, uh, lotsa stuff. MusicaI stuff, for instance. Lisa has been playing piano for many a year. "I really like to just sit down and play for an hour." Her favorite composer is Chopin.

Another of her favorite pm times, believe it or not, is her job. Lisa worked at King's Island this

year as a guardette, using her brute strength and imposing physique to ward off angry mobs from the likes of Scooby Doo. "You get these liftb jerks who come up, pulling on their tails and

punching them." When she isn't dealing with seething masses of blood-thirsty little beasts, Lisa either has 'To say 'Hi' t a peaple and be friendly and say stupid lit- tle things," (the park's characters aren't allowed to talk) or she gets

to rest. "I'm paid for eight hours, but I really only work four," she

explains. 'We go to the lounge and we just sit around and watch t . ~ . or eat."

It seems that eating is yet another of Lisa More's passions.

About her sophomore year trip to Aixen-Provence, she comments, "That's why I loved France; the

food is so good." Lisa hopes to return to the land of wine and cheese for a year in college. (Which she plans to attend "somewhere in the East; or in the South; or in the Southeast" If

none of those regions pan out, she says she'll go North.) 1

I could go on and on about Lisa's neatness fetish ("I can't go

to sleep if my room is a mess"), her love for drawing and painting, her opinion of Indian Hill High

School, and a few dozen other things. But I've got a better idea.

Get to know Lisa More yourself.

You'll probably learn to like her.

I by Bi Skidmore

The Who have done it again - they've dipped into the vat of

creativity and found another masterpiece - It's Hard. It's Hard is a smooth and polished album, yet another Who classic.

Side one consists of six taste- fully done songs. The record opens with its single, "Athena." Roger DaItrey, lead singer, exer- cises hh vocal talents in this

track, with Pete Townshend han- dling back-ups. John Entwistle, the "Quiet One," gets his turn in "It's Your Turn," ridiculing both himself and his fans. "You can take the fans and the enemiestThe little girls who squeeze and teasel

They pass on their social disease/ Go get your penicillin."

bbCooks County" airs next, fol- lowed by the title track "It's Hard." Townshend delves again

into the difficulty of Me, adding at the end: "Deal me another hand Lord, this one's very hard."

John Entwistle writes and sings the next song. "Dangerous"

is a fantastic song, with several interesting bridges - Entwistle's

best song since "My Wife."

Townshend concludes side one with a composition called "Emi- nence Front."

Side two is every bit as brill& ant as side one. The longest song on the record, "I've Known No War" echoes Townshend's pacifist

sentiment. A slow song, "One Life's Enough" is followed by

Entwistle's final composition, "One at a Time." Daltrey's voice along with Kenny Jones' percus- sion make the next song, "Why Did I Fall For That." Townshend f d e s off the album with "A Man is a Man" and 'Try ff You Want."

Despite The Who's brilliance

in their latest album, The Who of the 1980's (Face Dances and It's Hard) lack a key element they

possessed in the sixties and early

seventies - enthusiasm! I mean, "A Man is a Man" is not exactly the sort of song one would smash a guitar after, whereas in Quadro- phenia and Who's Next enthusi-

ful cars, and all in all a playboy's life."

But aside from his glamorous dream, Erik has some meaningful

and reflective views on life. He strongly believes in the good of the human race and believes that

the world will never end in the hands of a nuclear holocaust.

This optimism can be seen in Erik even in the little or trivial things

he does.

Eric prefers the rural life

compared to the urban one. "I want to live somewhere in the

country or on the sea coast where the air is clean. I just want to live

in a place that's as easysoing as I am, where I can get plenty of

sleep! " Discussing his final year at

Indian Hill, Erik says, "I'm glad to be getting out, but I want to get as much as possible out of my

Day," "Love Plus One," and "Favourite Shirts."

Bob Sargeant, who has pro- duced for such ska luminaries as The English Beat, works with the quintet to create a tight, rhythm- drenched sound which should

make the album a dancelparty classic. Lyrics are secondary (generally either enigmatic, unin- telligible, or both), and the only real lead instrument is Phil Smith's sax.

However, the dominant beat

makes the record no les fun to just "sit down and li, 1 en to."

From the all-out funk power of "Favourite Shirts" to the out of control Afro-Brazilian sound of

"Kingsize," the sheer diversity of rhythmic texture is reason enough to buy the disc.

Why such a highquality, pop- oriented piece of vinyl has es- caped the attention of America's stagnant radio establishment is

hard to understand. If you're in- terested in hearing the optimistic and wellaafted music of Haircut

100, you may just have to resort to buying their album yourself.

You won't be sorry you did.

In her spare time, though, Lisa tends toward the noncompetitive. "I love the water," she says, and that love has in turn led to her

affinity for sailing and water- skiing. (Although her parent's viciously sold her favorite boat out from under her, Lisa still en-

joys her family's Sunfish and two Lasers.) Snow-skiing has Lisa hit- ting the slopes in Michigan or

Mr. Jim Stacey thinks veovle by John Lilly

Somewhere deep in the annals of American commercial radio lies the name of the first station manager in the country to use ratings to determine what songs would be played on his piece of the airwaves. He should be shot.

The ratings system, which often dictates that only bands who have had hits should get substantial airplay, poses a Catch-22 situation to any group

trying to break into the mainline radio scene.

One band which has managed to do fairly well despite stone-

walling on the part of mid-Amer- ica's musical media is the British- based Haircut 100. Their debut album, Pelican West, released ear-

lier this year, has slowly but surely climbed its way up the

charts. No wonder. A combination of

funk-pop guitar lines and an incredibly danceable beat should

have made Pelican West a radio staple from the day of its release. In England, the record did yield -jhree mon-der hits: "Fansic

entire article's worth of unpleas-

antness? We'll have to see about

that.

the matter is that it's Wednesday

Enough of this digressive gib-

berish. I'll get back to the race

riot that was brewing only a few

paragraphs back, but first, some

background.

Unbeknownst to us, Grace

Kelley was careening towards her

death as we headed down to the

Vernon Manor that night. All

manner of bloated social crawler

was present, and our enthusiasm

for any dance waned almost in-

stantly. It became not a question

of whether we would leave, but

one of just how early we could

escape from these seething swine,

any way.

A t about 11:30, we said to

ourselves, and 1 quote, "lt's about

time to make our move." We told

our hostesses bye-bye and headed

out into the big, bad streets of

Clifton.

I could talk about 1-71 for a

while; maybe tell about my

dream of painting its entire, wide-

open surface red, white, and blue

before this decade is out, but I'm

afraid that would be useless.

Most of my loyal readers, being

the travelled, cosmopolitan types

they simply must be, have seen

that stretch of road from almost

every conceivable angle; any

more writing about it could only

be redundant.

Suffice it to say, we lashed the

01' sedan all the way to Kenwood

that night, and we barely lived to

tell the tale.

Off 71 at the Kenwood exit.

Certainly. But wc braved the

The question, a pivotal one as

you soon will see, is, "Just how safe a net do your black and

white automobiles form, Lincoln

The answer is, "Not very."

see one, and this one obviously fit

the description. Kinda' does your

heart good to know that human-

ity has been saved from the savage

claws of the very same party you

had planned on attending only

minutes earlier.

It would soon become evident

to those of us in the car that our

local sheriff really knows where

his priorities lie when it comes to

stamping out crime. The party

we had been going to was, in a

word, busted. As we would soon

learn, though, a potentially death-

producing brawl was cropping up

less than a mile away. Sheriff

Lincoln P. Stokes' men, in all

their partyquashing zeal, would

be less than prompt in responding

to that little piece of violent un- rest.

Let's see, where we were when

I got off on that dangerously po-

litical tangent? Ah, yes. The

party was being nailed to the pro-

verbial wall.

A t that point, we decided it

would be in our best interest if we

were to turn on our tail and beat

a hasty retreat out of that sub-

division.

short, everyone was drunk, and

they all jumped out of their re-

spective vehicles and started yell-

ing at each other. We decided one

of us, the one pumping the gas,

should hold our trusty pipe while

the other went to pay.

We were there for twenty

minutes, waiting for the sheriff to

break up the fight so we could

pay for the gasoline. Meanwhile,

the car and pickup made up with

each other and left. When three

Hamilton County black-and-

whites finally pulled up, all was

back to normal.

But I've thought about that

night long and hard, and I've

decided nothing's normal when

half the county's police force is a

mile away from a potentially vol-

atile situation involving a lot of

people, and they seem more con-

cerned about breaking up a large

party.

Honestly, would you have put

lmoney on the Braves to be 2-0

after two weeks? Not even Coach

Gene Brindise would predict out- comes. And here are the Braves

moving into league play with two

wins.

The Braves opened the 1982

season with a 14-13 nail-biter

Kohls for a score with twelve

Tonight the Braves will look

for their third win of the year.

It would be their first league vic-

tory in two years. The Glen Este

Trojans, 19-0 winners over Indian

Hill last year, will provide the

opposition. The Braves' coach

expects them to be the toughest

test so far. "They are a good

passing team with very good team

speed," Brindise said. "We're

going to have to play heads-up

ball."

The Braves fust win was the

result of a late comeback. After

trailing, 13-0, the Braves scored

on a touchdown run by John

Fitzmaurice, and after marching

Braves' coach felt the team

"didn't really play to their best

level yet," but it was still good

for a shutout by the Indian Hill

defense. Finneytown's score

came on a fumble which was

returned from almost midfield.

That score came after the

Braves found paydirt twice in the

finst half. Fitzmaurice carried

for the fust touchdown, and

Arnold went around the left end

for the second Braves' score.

In the second half, the Braves

relied on smart defense, including

two blocked passes by Chris

Devine, an interception and a well

played on-side kick. Fitzmaurice

rambled in for one more score in

the second half, his third of the

season. "Any mistakes we are making

right now are correctable ones,"

said linebacker Kevin Froehlich.

"We've got some experience and

some new talent, so I really think we will continue to improve all

year." Arnold this year makes a

tough transition from wide re-

ceiver to quarterback in hopes of

balancing, the Braves' attack. So

far, Brindise is "pleased with the

transition" he has made, but

Arnold would still prefer to be on

the receiving end.

CC Braves running well against EHL foes by Paul Monach

The Indian Hill cross country

team, with recent strong showings

against EHL opponents, looks to

keep or improve upon it's third

place EHL finish last year.

While defending champion

Sycamore is almost a sure bet to

repeat as winners, the Braves have a good shot at second. This

chance was increased in the

team's most recent meet on Tues- day, September 14. In this meet

Indian Hill, with 35 points, de-

feated EHL opponents Deer park,

with 45 points and Glen Este,

with 48 points. Richard Strad-

ling's second-place time of 18 : 05

and Rob McVicker's finish at

18:57 led the team to victory.

Glen Este was last year's EHL

runner-up. Now only Milford and

Mariemont, both of which the Braves defeated in the EHL last

year, stand as possible competi-

tion for second place. Coach Jim

Benken voiced his optimism by

saying, quite simply, 'We are now

definately a powerhouse in the

EHL."

Last Saturday the Braves

finished ninth of sixteen in a

moderately strong field i n the

Reading Invitational at French

park. On this course, con-

sidered one of the most difficult

in Ohio, the Braves were up

against primarily AA but also

some AAA schools. Of this, only

three AA schools defeated the

Braves. The team was again led

by Stradling's time of 15:17 on

Soccer Squaws fig b ing off inexperience by Shelly Stanforth

Due to inexperience the soc- cer Squaws have gotten off to a

slow 0-5-1 start this season. As

the season continues the team is

becoming more familiar with

working together. After every

game coach Rick McFadden has

said, 'We could have and should

have won that game." The mem-

bers of the team have the talent

and skills and are now beginning

to use them collectively.

Most recently the Squaws lost

a close game 2-0 to last year's

league champion Mariemont.

The team broke it's losing

streak, tying 1-1 with Hamilton. Robyn Hiett and Sally

Ulmer handled the goalkeeping

while the lone Indian Hill goal

was scored by Amy Carmen.

In the Squaws' league games

both Sycamore and Glen Este

controlled the fourth quarter to

win handily 5-1 and 4-1 respec-

tively. Until the last quarter both

games were closely fought.

This is the first year the girl's

soccer program has a junior var-

sity team. Many of the junior

varsity players also contribute on

the varsity team. These Squaws

senior explained, "but I 'want to

do what is best for the team. I really do feel very comfortable at

quarterback, though."

The Braves' second year coach

was asked if the'tiwo opening wins

might provide a little relief after

the pressure of a 1-9 season. A side-to-side nod defeated that

theory quickly.

'We won't breathe any sighs until the season is over. We still must take it one game at a time."

Brindise gives a lot of the cred-

it this year to his coaching staff.

So far this inexperience has

hurt the team's play. The Squaws

hope the young players like Chris

Hall and Sally Ulmer will mature

quickly. Seniors Shelly Stan-

Hiett are providing the team's

leadership. The defense looks

towards Holly Rodes and Theresa

Buchman to lead the defense.

day at 5 :00 at Loveland.

slowly putting together the pieces of a victory puzzle. The Braves currently stand in the top half of the league and hope to improve their standing. The team is cur- rently 3-2-1 with a two game

4-2 victory at Withrow the satG day before. The play was even until the start of the last quarter, but the Braves totally controlled the fourth quarter. Wing Ron Zesch felt the offensive "took ad- vantage of shooting opportuni- ties well."

The Braves first three games

were scheduled as a warm-up for league play. The Braves defeated Moeller, 3-2, but lost to Ander- son, 4-0, and Hamilton, 6-1. In losses the team had trouble spreading out the play into the comers. The Braves hope to in- clude this facet of their game in practice.

as I see it . .

For the past twenty years, drugs have always been,

and probably always will be, a part of high schools.

Indian Hill High School is no exception. Throughout

the late 197OYs, Indian Hill was regarded as a school

with a serious drug problem. Instances such as

parents fearing to send their children to the junior high due to its proximity to the high school were not

uncommon. However, within the past few years, many positive

steps have successfully combatted and deterred Indian Hill's drug problem. The credit in destroying Indian Hill's drug problem is shared by many. First

of all, area parents and students directly involved in

drug situations have given their time and effort in con~mmunicating to the community through drug

awareness presentations. Through these presenta-

tions, the entire IH community was exposed to what

drugs can do to the individual and his or her family. In addition, the IH administration has also played a

key role in curbing drug usage in school. Prior to

1980, students could be given a mere warning for the

first offense of usage, sale or possession of drugs.

Now, in school drug users face possible suspension or expulsion for their first offense. However, as assis-

tant principal Mr. Gary Gellert states, "In the past

two years there hasn't been one case in which we

didn't expel a student for use, sale or possession of

drugs." Also, strict supervision of the smoking

lounges, once havens for drug abuse, has lead to a

drastic reduction in school drug usage. Lastly, the return of many IH students from

Straight Inc. exemplifies clearly that drug users can

be rehabilitated. Many students may have observed

drug users high in school, only to witness their return

twelve months later as a changed and different drug-

free person. These four factors are by no means the only rea-

sons for the successful fight against Indian Hill's drug

problem. The end result, however, is that our school

has become a more suitable institution for higher

education.

'Should voluntary prayer be

al lowed in public schools?' by John Bergman '

One of the most heated topics

that has ever been discussed or

acted upon is certainly religion. I

would venture to say that other

than sheer hunger, it is probably

the most motivating of all human conditions. It is no wonder then

that arguments about the applica-

tion of certain aspects of religion

to everyday life abound. One of

the issues which presents itself

every year, particularly at this

time, is that of prayer in school.

"Should voluntary prayer be

allowed in public schools?" and if

so, "Just precisely what is volun-

tary prayer?" These are the two

most basic of the questions im- bedded into this issue. They pre- sent many moral implications, too

vast to be covered in one article,

but still, basic overview of the

two opinions on the matter can

and should be taken.

The conservative point of view

is as predictable as it is fervently

defended by its advocates. "We

are living in the times of vast

crime and violence. People have

forgotten, or worse, rejected the

basic moral foundation on which

society must be based. Children

are not being taught these morals.

They will emulate the corruption

that they see around them. The

only way to stop this corrup-

tion," they say, "is to bring re-

ligion back into the classroom."

No student can constitutionally

be forced to pray, but to prevent

students who do wish to, is to

punish them for their moral

beliefs. "Hence, children who do

not wish to participate in the

daily prayer should be able to go

somewhere else, while the rest of

the class proceeds."

As I see it, the above proposal

and all others that I have heard on

the matter would be, at best, in-

tolerable and, at worst, dan- gerous. Certainly, the crime and violence rate is tragically high,

and certainly I would be hard

pressed to argue that crime would not fall if more people lived in

strict accordance with the ten commandments, but public

school is not the place where they

or any other religious material should be preached. One of the

great aspects of our constitution

is that it clearly states the separa-

tion between Church and State.

Everyone in this country who

has been through elementary

school should know this, yet, at

any given moment in time, at

least half the people act like they

don't. Obviously, everyone

should and does have the right to

go to parochial school, but the

moment he " stoops to go to pub-

lic school," he must give up the

right to maintain a prayer as a

part of the regular curriculum.

As for the argument that any

children who did not want to

pray would be allowed to leave

the classroom, I can only say that

it places too much of an incon-

venience between a student and

his constitutional right. A third grader who bases his decisions

about what to wear each day on

what his classmates will think, should not have to make compli-

cated judgements on whether or

not to make public statements

about his religion.

Let me stress here, that I do

not wish to imply that the boy or

girl who chooses to dently say

grace before a meal, for example,

should in any way be punished.

This is an individual action which

imposes nothing on fellow class

members, and therefore, does not

in any way inpinge upon their

rights.

Pauls renovate outside garden areas by John Christine

The gravel and grass garden

areas between the sidewalks of

/ Ottawa and the high school have

recently been refurbished with

new sod, bushes, and trees.

The scenery change is largely

due to the Paul family, 8700 Pipe- well Lane, who were instrumental

in organizing the planting of the

shrubbery. Mrs. Bonnie Paul, who

has done the brunt of the work, received funds from the adminis-

trations of both schools and the

board of education. Senior class

advisor Tom Norman also con-

tributed a donation.

Mrs. Paul has mostly directed

her efforts to the large garden,

while her husband Lawrence and

son Eric have planted shrubbery

and laid mulch along the walls of

the auditorium and Ottawa. With

the exception of one worker, the

Pauls have done all of the work

themselves.

Golfers 3-5 but by Brian Rowe

Despite its 3-5 start, Indian Hill's boys' varsity golf team

looks to have another fine season.

After defeating Sycamore last week, everyone is very optimistic

about winning the EHL Cham-

pionship, for Sycamore has

always been Indian Hill's toughest league foe.

Coach Bob West, clad in a new jazz-inspired golfing hat, echoes

his team's confidence. "This year

will definitely be a reversal of last

year, when we started out well

and ended poorly. I look for a great October."

West stresses that consistency

is the key to success. "All we

need are five good rounds and no

one will be able to touch us."

So far this year, the Braves

have defeated Norwood, Syca-

more, and Fairfield while losing

still hopeful to Elder, St. X, Milford, McNicho-

las, and Wyoming. Bill Louder

has been the low team scorer in

each match with a sterling stroke

average of 38 strokes per nine

holes.

Since last year the team has

only lost one varsity player, grad-

uate Roger Stultz. Three letter-

men from last year, sophomore

John Bishop, junior Bill Louder, and senior Jay McFarland all re-

turn from last season. The team

is rounded out by returning var-

sity player Andy Plate and new-

comer Jim Hall.

The transition of boys' sports

to a class double "A" also is

encouraging. This means that Indian Hill will be much more competitive in the district, sec-

tional, and possibly state com-

petitions in the post-season play.

Teamwork stressed for field hockey Squaws by Gretchen Kindel

Varsity field hockey coach

Carol Wehmann's main goal for

this season is "to be able to work

as a team." As seen in the squad's

first two games, this goal may

already be reality, despite the fact

that many new faces are filling

the spots which were left by the

graduating seniors.

In their fust match, on Thurs-

day, September 2, the Squaws suffered a 5-0 loss to Fairmont

East, one of leading teams in the

city. Because of the fact that it

was a non-league game, Wehmann played most of the players in

order to see how well they

played together.

By the second game, the play-

ers became more accustomed to each other and played more as a

team. The Squaws defeated

Lebanon in their first league

game, 3-0. Speed and the expe-

rienced defense were the keys to

their success. Two goals were

scored by junior Mary Howe

and one was scored by sophomore

and new varsity player Amy

Wiatt.

Most of all, Wehmann was

pleased with the support of the

team, The Squaws coach believes

that "field hockey is well-sup-

ported and the students want to

maintain a successful team ." This was shown when forty-five
