Staff aftends 'best' in-service day ideas of excellence in education.

The majority of the feedback

given by teachers on the work-

shop was positive. Mr. Tony

Bmeneman noted, "There were

more favorable comments for this

workshop than for workshops in

the past." Most teachers used

"best" as an adjective to describe

the in-service day, but some

found fault in the topics chosen.

The vast majority of the com-

ments sounded much like this ex-

ample: "After 23 years of in-ser-

vice workshops, we finally had

one from which I felt real benefit

because these people knew what

they were talking about, and what

they were talking about made

sense."

by David Stradling

Indian Hill teachers and ad-

ministrators attended an in-service

workshop this past 1-riday, Octo-

ber 28. Each staff member chose

to partake in two of the four ses-

sions offered.

The basis for teacher work-

shops is to introduce or expand

understanding of recent progress

in the science of education.

One of the four sessions offer-

ed was presented by Bob Monhol-

len, from Monroe, Michigan. This

session, entitled "Make it and

Take it," dealt with classroom

management and student motiva-

tion, and was directed toward the

elementary school teachers.

Barbara A. Vitale, an Educa-

tional Program Specialist in Palm

Beach County, discussed the right

b rainlleft brain theory. She

noted that education is geared

toward left brained students, and

i t is the right brained people who

seem revolutionary.

Dr. Howard Johnston, the

associate dean of the College of

Education of the University of

Cincinnati, talked about improv-

ing engaged learning time. While

some suggest that we extend the

school year, Johnston suggests

that we use the time we have

more effectively.

"Testing in Schools" was the

title of the presentation made by

Dr. Richard Coop, a professor in

the School of Education at the

University of North Carolina at

Chapel Hill. He discussed the

pros and cons of testing in

schools. A third session,which was can-

celled, was to deal with the recent

presidential commission report, A

Nation a t Risk, and the miscon-

ceptions and challenges that this report brings up. Although this

presentation did not occur, the

other sessions did follow with the

Squaws were defeated 15-9,15-9.

But to senior Mary Granger, the

tournament was a success after

being named to the All-Star vol-

leyball team by the coaches pres-

ent at the tournament.

The Squaws ended their sea-

son with a league record of four

wins and ten losses and a season

record of 8-13. "Despite our

poor record," commented Cooke,

"I think it was a great season. The girls were dedicated, hard working

and full of confidence."

Senior Elizabeth Artzt sets the ball in recent Squaws' action.

Despite their losses the

Squaws did show an improvement

on their form and play. "As far

as I'm concerned," said Cooke,

"they're the best team I've ever

coached. When considering their

form and the improvement

they've shown as individual play-

ers and as a team, they've been

one of the most successful teams

I've coached."

Hills. IH was the only band in its

class to receive a Superior rating,

with 361 out of 400 possible

points, one over the minimum for

Superior. Moeller had 350, and

the others were considerably far-

t her back.

Each band was judged by four

judges, each of whom gave a score

out of 100 in his category. These

categories included two for music,

one for marching, and one for

general effect. IH received scores

of 94.5 for marching, 93 and 85.5

for music, and 88 for general ef-

fect; all of these were the highest

in the class. The flag corps' win-

ning score of 78 was not added to

the band total.

(McCurdy an ankle injury,

Schneebeck a pulled stomach muscle). We didn't think we'd get

t o the finals at state. But we did.

I had to reassure Lynne that I could play, and we were there to

win! She wasn't sure if I could go

all out." Added Schneebeck, "We did

have to make adjustments in our

games to make it work. I had to

play backhand side, while Karen

played forehand- it's usually op-

posite."

Abbott had some other

thoughts. "Debbie (Horton) and

I both tried our best to play real

hard. State was much different

from the regular season. It was

much tougher. Also, all those

people watching -it's much dif-

ferent!"

Crilley, for her part, felt that

Abbot and Horton did extremely

well, taking third at state.

"They, as freshmen, showed a

lot of poise and maturity, and

handled themselves really well.

They beat many senior teams,"

she praised.

A champion, then, is more

than talent I t is a mental atti-

tude. But more importantly, it is a sum of many "little thingsn-

things that make up a person, and

then, a champion.

The Marching Braves will get

up bright and early in order to be

able to perform at Otterbein Col-

lege in Westerville, northwest of

Columbus, at 11 :30 a.m. The

contest, sponsored by the Ohio

Music Educators Association

(OMEA), will not give trophies;

ratings only, from 1 (Superior) to

5 (Poor), will be given.

Indian Hill earned the right to

state, as at Reading, IH will com-

pete in class B, for medium-sized

bands. Band director Mr. Steve

Strider said of the band, "They'll

be ready."

The band achieved its greatest

victory in many years by winning

the @and championship at the

Glen Este Band Invitational on

Saturday, October 29. IH was

first of 29 bands competing in

five classes. IH marched in the

top class, receiving fnst-place

trophies for both the band and

the flag corps.

At Glen Este, bands competed either in Division I, for bands

marching in more than one con-

test this year, or Division 11, or

novice division, for those bands

entering only one contest. The

novice class, in which IH marched

and won last year, was further

divided into large bands and small

bands. Division I was subdivided

into classes A, B, and C, also

based on size. All bands were

scored on the same scale, with a

winner chosen from each category

and the band with the highest

score overall given the enormous

grand championship trophy.

"I think the lack of pressure

helped us play better," added

senior Andy Plate. "We weren't

really thinking about what it was

like. We were there to play. My

attitude was, try to do well but

don't dwell on it if I don't. As Crilley said before, a player

must be physically competent.

"She must be able to react to any

situation in court," she reiterated.

"She can hit any shot, get to any

ball, keep it in play. The founda-

tion of this is drilling practice."

But beyond basic physical

skills, Crilley added, tradition

plays a large role .in success.

advantage."

Several of the players them-

Baftered Braves to end season tonight vs. Broncos by Kevin Walzer

The football Braves will close

out a dismal season tonight, as

they take a 1-8 mark to Shawnee

Field to face Western Brown at

8:OO.

Junior quarterback Mike

Wentz feels that for the Braves to

win, they will have to "put every-

thing together."

"It's not going to be an easy game at all," he said. "They're a

good team. But if we can get

points on the board, and hang

tough defensively, we have a

chance."

IH dropped its fifth straight

game last Friday. They were easi-

ly handled by the Deer Park Wild- cats, 33-14.

IZ1 rolled to an early 14-8 lead

in the first half as they scored

both in the air and on the ground.

Deer Park recovered an IH fumble

and ran it 72 yards for the open-

ing touchdown, giving them a 7-0

lead. But the Braves came back,

driving down to the Wildcat four-

yard line. Wentz hooked up with

senior receiver Dan Kremchek in

the end zone for the touchdown.

Wentz and Kremchek also con-

verted the two-point try, giving

IH an 8-7 lead.

Later in the half, senior run-

ning back Evon Kelly broke loose and carried the ball 60 yards into

The Braves opened their scor-

yards for the score. Senior David Lindner's extra-point kick was

good.

"Oh, boy. Two answers come

to mind," says golf coach Bob

West. "One is confidence. The

other is concentration."

"Physical preparation is im-

portant," adds girls tennis coach

Cindy Crilley. "A player should

be physically competent in all areas of the game, which comes

from constant practice."

West and Crilley may sound

like they are talking about differ-

ent things, but they are not. The

question put to these two was,

"What makes for a successful athlete, and sets IH golf and ten-

nis players a notch above other

schools in those areas?"

The main reason these two

are, perhaps, the most qualified to

discuss this question is because of

finest coaches in the city. Realiz- ing that my team's skills and that

my coaching abilities were good

enough to beat Madeira and their

But to Wehmann, the most

memorable experiences she has

"To me," she said, "the girls who

play field hockey are some of the

best friends I've ever had. The re-

ful. I've grown as a person from working with the Squaws."

teacher. "I'll stiU be around," she

said. "And I'll be keeping an eye

I have never been a staunch

supporter of President Reagan's

foreign policy decisions, but dur-

ing his entire administration never have 1 been as outraged as I am

concerning his decision to invade

the island nation of Grenada.

Over the last week Reagan has

revealed his motives for the inva-

sion to the public, and despite

their outward strengths, these

motives are extremely weak.

Firstly, his major argument was that the invasion was needed to

insure the safety of the hundreds

of American students studying at

St. George's Medical Center in

Grenada. I think that this is his

strongest argument, and I really

have no serious objections to it.

Reagan saw the disastrous politi-

cal consequences of the Iranian

crisis on President Carter and he

stable situation in Grenada fol-

lowing the overthrow of the Bish-

op government sufficiently

threatened these other nations to

the drastic extent of calling upon the U.S. for help in any manner.

Secondly, despite their plea for

help, Reagan realized the invasion

would be a clear-cut violation of

international law, and judging

from world opinion, other nations

think it was too. Also dubious in

nature was the actual call for help-the State Department said

that the Organization of Eastern

Caribbean States supported the

invasion. Yet the larger Carib-

bean Economic Community

(CARECOM, whose very charter

advocates the "non-use of force")

was not in total agreement in the

support of the invasion. Guyana

and Surinam, both members of

CARECOM were opposed to the

invasion. In addition, other major

countries in the area, such as

Venezuela and Mexico, strongly condemned the U.S., as did the

United Nations Security Council

in a resolution which was of course vetoed by the U.S.

Finally, the issue of Cuban

presence in Grenada needs to be

discussed. After the actual in-

vasion, huge warehouses of arms

were found and it soon became

evident that the Cubans planned

to manipulate Grenada just as i t

has Angola - for Cuba's own

purposes. Yet the Pentagon has

admitted that they did not realize the extent of Cuban presence

before the invasion. I find it very

weak of Reagan to justify his

invasion on facts discovered after

the act. However, I am in total agreement of Reagan being con-

cerned over the Cuban presence in

tion to this political rationale, I

think that the President should

indeed show concern for Ameri-

can citizens abroad. But this

should have been accomplished

by means of a much smaller and

quicker show of force; the size of

the problem did not justify his

decision for a full invasion, one

whose size is the greatest of any

invasion since the Vietnam War. A second justification for his

use of force was that other Carib- bean nations called upon the U.S.

to help provide a "collective de-

fense" against possible danger

from Grenada. I find this to be

Going into the final game of

will be trying to avoid a winless

season with a victory. Their cur-

IH dropped its ninth consecu-

Deer Park Wildcats came away

Saturdays ago. The first half was

a scoreless deadlock until the

Tigers put together a drive and

got on the board early in the

second quarter. The two-point

attempt missed. Later in the half the Braves fought back to tie with

Steve Baker carrying for IH.

Quarterback Jim Berling's two-

point pass attempt missed.

In the thud quarter Loveland

came back with several good runs

In the fourth, Loveland sealed

the win with a 20-yard run into

the end zone to see the 18-6 win.

Even though the Braves lost,

the offense still had a good day.

Thanksgiving is almost upon

us. For most of us Thanksgiving

is a time of plenty. Many people, however, will not have the privi-

school never come into contact

with such people, so it's no

wonder that the student body is

largely ignorant of the poverty

which can be found outside of

isolated Indian Hill. Nevertheless, we should all be concerned.

Student Government feels that

Indian Hill students should play a

role in relieving the suffering of

the poor. Between November 14 and 18, the Student Gov-

ernment Service Committee will

be holding the fall canned food drive. The proceeds of this drive

will be donated to the Free Store

in the Over-the-Rhine district of

our city. In the past, both the Student

Government and teaching faculty

have provided incentives for stu-

dents to bring in canned foods.

This practice seemed to detract

meaning from the food drive.

Students became more concerned

with winning either a batch of

donuts or a few points from their

teacher than with the real purpose

of the food drive. Unfortunately,

when Student Government took

away these incentives during the

spring food drive last Year, practically no goods were donated

Mama Laichas keeps kleenex handy by Kitsa Tassian

"Every pocket of everything I own has old kleenex it it." No

doubt about it, this statement

could only have been said by a

mother. Although most of us know her as a math or computer

teacher, Mrs. Elizabeth Laichas is just that mother.

Having taught since she was in

college at Miami University as a graduate assistant, and since 1978

here at IH, Laichas finds that in

the two-ring circus of being a

the living room, with Buckley, the dog, in .tow, scrambles into her

mother's lap,and proudly presents

her with a tiny red and blue

sneaker. "I live a pretty full life,"

Laichas says. "I'm a teacher in the morning, a mother in the af-

ternoon, and a student at night."

Thursday nights she is working on becoming certified to teach com-

puter at Xavier University. "I get

a taste for what it's like to be a

student again, and sometimes it's

pretty frustrating." teacher and being a wife and

mother, she definitely has the

"best of both worlds."

She started as a substitute in

1978, but when offered a full time position, she made it clear

that she wanted to be home to

look after her son. She was then .

offered a "tailor-made job which I

couldn't refuse.'' Laichas now

courses only for the morning

classes and then goes home to

students everyday, she is able to

know something about them as

individuals, not just the ambigu-

ous "them." Even having experienced the

turbulent 60's, "I always knew I'd

live the traditional life. I'm bas-

ically not much of a noncon-

formist." While folding a pair of

blue and yellow pajamas she says,

for a mother." She chuckles,"you get to practice your mothering on

bewildered juniors and seniors,

she's busy with the intricacies of

teaching a kindergarten Sunday School class, which is a challenge

all its own.

CHAD, from p- 8 baby powder o n his bicycie

seat, his saddle sores im-

proved tremendously.

When school resumes, Chad puts his bike away and

becomes an active part of the

student body and communi-

ty. The many sides of Chad's personality are revealed in his

various activities. Peer Coun- seling is one certain organiza-

tion that has made an impact

on Chad's way of thinking.

"Through Peer Counseling

you see the human side of a

teacher," he explains, "and

you learn to be a better lis- tener and caring person."

Aside from Peer Counsel-

ing, Chad also participates-as

a L e g e n d photographer, the

aforementioned Chamber

Choir drummer, and a male

cheerleader for football and

basketball games. He enter-

tains the IH crowds Friday

nights with his inspiring cheer

of "Go Bananas!" and

performs with the Pep Band

as well. In fact, Chad is notorious

for his ability to make people

laugh. This is a trait acquired

over many years of practice. He began a t an early age by

remaining of small stature

while his friends grew around

him. Chad made the most of

his situation and entkrtained

people with his many unusual

antics. He has since quieted his hecklers by displaying his

- - -

ability to dunk a basketball in

the 1982-1983 L e g e n d . Al-

though Chad is no longer

smaller than his friends, he

still keeps people laughing

with his many mischievuus

capers in school.

Outside of school, Chad is

an active member of the Indi-

an Hill Church, serving as t h e

assistant leader of the Youth

Advisory Committee, and

representing the youth in the

church as an elected member

of the church's ruling body , the Vestry-Session. Through

the church, he has given his t ime to help rehabilitate a-

partments in Over-the-Rhine

and frequently joined the

Open Group in various youth

functions.

schedule is part of a long-term

plan that she refers to as "banking

my time. Someone once said that a person should have half an hour

to himself everyday. Well, I'm saving up all of my free time

-for about a week in Barbados!"

Laichas describes herself as

"talkative," but what is immedi-

ately recognizable is the vocabu-

lary that she uses to be talkative.

Words like "ickey," "gooey," and

"gunky" are all necessary parts of

her daily language to facilitate the

everyday happenings of a seven-

yearsld, a three and a half-year-

old, and a two-yearsld. "This is a house where if you don't break

I

your neck in the yard for the

toys, you'll stick to the wall when you come in!" she jokes while

sitting on the floor helping one of

her "angels" put some blocks

back in a pink plastic bucket.

In her kitchen, peeling an apple for Samantha, she philoso-

phizes that "I'm waiting for the

adult person in me to emerge." She obviously takes great delight

in the identical pairs of tiny, pink

jogging shoes on the table and the

refrigerator covered with snap- shots and fingerpaintings.

"A lot of emphasis has been

put on the teaching oC values in

the classroom. I consider myself

a 'value' teacher just by trying to

be a good role model." Samantha

tumbles back into the living room

only to get something wet on the

table. But never fear, Mom is quick to pull out one of those

kleenexes she's been keeping for

just this reason. She concludes,

"I really like my job at IH; if I had to carry a briefcase and all

that, I'd miss my kids too much."

In the future, Chad plans

to attend either Hope Col-

lege, University of Vermont, o r Depauw and enrolling in a liberal arts program. His

career interests are presently

undecided.

In his words of wisdom t o incoming freshmen, Chad

provides a tongue-in-cheek

summation of his high school

experience. He advises,

"Make sure you start growing

before you get t o high school,

or else be prepared to get

whaled on." Ironically

enough, Chad did most of his

growing during high school,

no t only through physical

growth, b u t growth in charac-

ter, and he has come to b e

senior aketch

ad savors f e drums by Bob Rhoad

If you have ever examined the composit ion of a crowd

of people, you will find a

large number of those who

simply blend in with each

other and a select few who

stand ou t as individuals. One

of those individuals is Chad

Smith.

Channing Robinson Smith

combines many widely di-

verse interests into one u-

nique personality. I t is his

involvement in activities rang-

ing from music to sports to

church tha t sets him apart from the rest.

Chad began his musical

career when he began taking

drum lessons with Mr. Strider

in four th grade. Over the

years he has developed his

talent by playing in the band,

Pow-Wow, and various musi-

cal groups. As a senior, he

became the leader of the

Indian Hill High School

Marching Band's drum sec-

t ion, and led his group of

drummers t o become the best

overall percussion section in

senior sketch

the city. Even with this

accomplishment, his ult imate

ambition has not ye t been

realized. Chad states with

cool confidence, "My goal is having the best drum section

in the state." Sound far-

fetched? Actually, Chad and

his section will have the op-

portunity t o d o just tha t this

Saturday in Columbus, after

two impressive performances

a t local competitions.

Fo r Chad, marching band

has become more than simply

a chore; i t has become a

pastime which he enjoys

enthusiastically. As an inte-

gral part of the snare drum

line, Chad explains, "You live

the music tha t you play.

When you play, you are the

music," adding t ha t i t is a

concept no t everyone can i-

dentify with. From band,

Chad has also learned the

realities of "dedication and concentration. Fo r every

hour the band pu t s in, the

drum section puts in an extra

hour o n their own."

Chad's musical energy is

no t just spent a t school, how-

ever. At home, he enjoys

"spazzing out" on his drum

set in order t o relieve anger a t

his drums' expense.

Chad's latest involvement

in music has been his work as

drummer for the Chamber Choir. Along with twenty-six

singers, he plans t o accom-

pany the group during its

tour in April t o New York. When asked about his in-

volvement in music after high

school, Chad answers t ha t he

plans t o continue playing as a

hobby. He comments, "I'm

sure 1'11 play drums for the

rest of my life." In the

meantime, though, he spends

his free t ime listening to

groups such as Journey and

the Police, and two local

bands, the Raisins and the

Modulators.

When school ended, Chad

took on one of the most

demanding tasks of his life.

After training rigorously for a

mon th and a half, he joined a

group of fearless bicyclists

and flew o u t t o Seattle, Wash-

ington where they assembled

their bikes and proceeded t o

ride 550 miles across the Olympic Mounta ins near

Seattle. What is riding 550 miles over mounta ins like?

"Not much f u n when you're

carrying a sixty p o u n d pack

and pedaling u p a big moun-

tain," Chad remembers. "I

disc review

The Doors r by Bob Tuttle

The last time I checked, Jim

Morrison, "The King of Orgasmic

Rock," was dead. Naturally,

when I heard some new material

by the Doors, I was more than a

little surprised. After the song,

the radio announcer said that the

piece was a selection from the

Door's new album of unreleased

live material, Alive She Cried. Being a long-time disciple of Jim

Morrison and the Doors, I headed

off to the record store, to keep

my collection up to date. The al-

bum did not disappoint me.

In the 1960's, the Doors were

about as controversial as any band

ever got. This was mainly due to

their wild stage show. The com-

bination of Morrison's morbid,

erotic lyrics and gestures tended

to get the band into trouble, but

it also made for several energy-

packed, mesmerizing shows. I t is

this magic that Alive She Cried

attempts to capture.

The album opens with the

band's version of "Gloria," a

standard song of the sixties writ-

ten by Van Morrison, the legend-

ary Irish R & B singer. The play-

ing on this track is done tightly

and with precision. Although Jim's vocal performance lacks the

intensity of Van Morrison's origi-

nal, his lyrics are much more in-

teresting and imaginative. In ad-

dition, Jim's lyrics get a great deal

more suggestive than the original,

and that is the reason why this

cut was not released earlier. All

CHI_EFTAIN November 4,1983

in all, a great version of a great

song.

The next song, "Light My

Fire" is wonderful. It is long and

rambling, but clean. It sounds a

great deal like the original, until

the extended solo in which Ray

Manzarek performs a brilliant

organ solo. Also, Robbie Krieger

effectively captures an eastern, sitar-ish sound on his guitar.

Morrison, too, has a solo, en-

titled, "The Graveyard Poem."

Unfortunately, this is another of

his typically sick, sophomoric

utterings: "A girl got drunk and

balled the dead/And I gave em-

pty serpents to my head." More

than the other tracks, this song

captures the feeling of a concert.

The last song on this side is

"You Make Me Real." This is an

upbeat, hard little rocker. It

lacks the typical improvisation of

the Doors, but succeeds, regard-

less. Side two opens with "Texas

Radio and the Big Beat." This is

probably the worst track on the

album as it is merely a poem set

to a bass line. Even so, it manages

to be more eerie, chilling and

hypnotic than the studio version,

which was cut two years later.

L L L ~ ~ e Me Two Times," the

next song, is oddly coupled with

previous one. This track has been

with 'Alive She Cried' ing this one brilliant.

The following track is an old

blues standard written by Willie

Dixon. This song, "Little Red

Rooster," was obligatory material

for blues-oriented groups such

as the Stones and the Animals.

Morrison's voice is ideal for this

genre of music. He packs all the

emotion that he is capable of

into this number. Joining the

band for this song is John Sebas-

tion, who wails well on his harp.

Also, Krieger performs a brilliant

"Howlin' Wolf' influenced slide

guitar solo. With these combined

talents, the song works out well.

The album closes with "Moon-

light Drive." This is treated with a faster-than-usual beat. Again,

Kreiger provides beautiful bottle- neck guitar work. This is distin-

guished from the studio cut by its

extended ending. In this, Morri-

son recites his very different

poem, "Horse Latitudes." This

cut is possibly better than the

studio version, and stacks up

well against the rest of the album.

The liner notes stated that cer-

tain songs were a departure from

the gimmick of the Lizard King, a

role that Morrison loved to play.

The problem with this is that all

of the Doors' dark material was

their greatest source of charisma.

It was this gimmick that gave the

band an identity. Individualism

in the rock scene led directly to

popularity. Morrison was weird,

and this is what makes him great.

Any attempt to market the Doors

as a basic, no frills rock band is

destined to fail. Instead, the

promoters should have capitalized

upon the sheer energy and em*

tion of a Doors concert that this

album captures.

Altogether, the album works

very well. Jim is dead, but we can

still get an effective portrayal of

the magic that took place at the

Doors' concerts. Go ahead, get

the album, and "Break On

Through."

disc review

The Doors r by Bob Tuttle

The last time I checked, Jim

Morrison, "The King of Orgasmic

Rock," was dead. Naturally,

when I heard some new material

by the Doors, I was more than a

little surprised. After the song,

the radio announcer said that the

piece was a selection from the

Door's new album of unreleased

live material, Alive She Cried. Being a long-time disciple of Jim

Morrison and the Doors, I headed

off to the record store, to keep

my collection up to date. The al-

bum did not disappoint me.

In the 1960's, the Doors were

about as controversial as any band

ever got. This was mainly due to

their wild stage show. The com-

bination of Morrison's morbid,

erotic lyrics and gestures tended

to get the band into trouble, but

it also made for several energy-

packed, mesmerizing shows. I t is

this magic that Alive She Cried

attempts to capture.

The album opens with the

band's version of "Gloria," a

standard song of the sixties writ-

ten by Van Morrison, the legend-

ary Irish R & B singer. The play-

senior aketch

ad savors f e drums by Bob Rhoad

If you have ever examined the composit ion of a crowd

of people, you will find a

large number of those who

simply blend in with each

other and a select few who

stand ou t as individuals. One

of those individuals is Chad

Smith.

Channing Robinson Smith

combines many widely di-

verse interests into one u-

nique personality. I t is his

involvement in activities rang-

ing from music to sports to

church tha t sets him apart from the rest.

Chad began his musical

career when he began taking

drum lessons with Mr. Strider

in four th grade. Over the

years he has developed his

talent by playing in the band,

Pow-Wow, and various musi-

cal groups. As a senior, he

became the leader of the

Indian Hill High School

Marching Band's drum sec-

t ion, and led his group of

drummers t o become the best

overall percussion section in

senior sketch

the city. Even with this

accomplishment, his ult imate

ambition has not ye t been

realized. Chad states with

cool confidence, "My goal is having the best drum section

in the state." Sound far-

fetched? Actually, Chad and

his section will have the op-

portunity t o d o just tha t this

Saturday in Columbus, after

two impressive performances

a t local competitions.

Fo r Chad, marching band

has become more than simply

a chore; i t has become a

pastime which he enjoys

enthusiastically. As an inte-

gral part of the snare drum

line, Chad explains, "You live

the music tha t you play.

When you play, you are the

music," adding t ha t i t is a

concept no t everyone can i-

dentify with. From band,

Chad has also learned the

realities of "dedication and concentration. Fo r every

hour the band pu t s in, the

drum section puts in an extra

hour o n their own."

Chad's musical energy is

no t just spent a t school, how-

ever. At home, he enjoys

"spazzing out" on his drum

set in order t o relieve anger a t

his drums' expense.

Chad's latest involvement

in music has been his work as

drummer for the Chamber Choir. Along with twenty-six

singers, he plans t o accom-

pany the group during its

tour in April t o New York. When asked about his in-

volvement in music after high

school, Chad answers t ha t he

plans t o continue playing as a

hobby. He comments, "I'm

sure 1'11 play drums for the

rest of my life." In the

meantime, though, he spends

his free t ime listening to

groups such as Journey and

the Police, and two local

bands, the Raisins and the

Modulators.

When school ended, Chad

took on one of the most

demanding tasks of his life.

After training rigorously for a

mon th and a half, he joined a

group of fearless bicyclists

and flew o u t t o Seattle, Wash-

ington where they assembled

their bikes and proceeded t o

ride 550 miles across the Olympic Mounta ins near

Seattle. What is riding 550 miles over mounta ins like?

"Not much f u n when you're

carrying a sixty p o u n d pack

and pedaling u p a big moun-

Thanksgiving is almost upon

is a time of plenty. Many people, however, will not have the privi-

school never come into contact

with such people, so it's no

wonder that the student body is

largely ignorant of the poverty

which can be found outside of

Student Government feels that

Indian Hill students should play a

role in relieving the suffering of

the poor. Between November 14 and 18, the Student Gov-

ernment Service Committee will

be holding the fall canned food drive. The proceeds of this drive

will be donated to the Free Store

in the Over-the-Rhine district of

our city. In the past, both the Student

Government and teaching faculty

have provided incentives for stu-

dents to bring in canned foods.

This practice seemed to detract

meaning from the food drive.

Students became more concerned

with winning either a batch of

donuts or a few points from their

of the food drive. Unfortunately,

Mama Laichas keeps kleenex handy by Kitsa Tassian

"Every pocket of everything I own has old kleenex it it." No

doubt about it, this statement

could only have been said by a

mother. Although most of us know her as a math or computer

teacher, Mrs. Elizabeth Laichas is just that mother.

Having taught since she was in

college at Miami University as a graduate assistant, and since 1978

here at IH, Laichas finds that in

the two-ring circus of being a

the living room, with Buckley, the dog, in .tow, scrambles into her

mother's lap,and proudly presents

her with a tiny red and blue

sneaker. "I live a pretty full life,"

Laichas says. "I'm a teacher in the morning, a mother in the af-

ternoon, and a student at night."

Thursday nights she is working on becoming certified to teach com-

puter at Xavier University. "I get

a taste for what it's like to be a

student again, and sometimes it's

pretty frustrating." teacher and being a wife and

mother, she definitely has the

"best of both worlds."

She started as a substitute in

1978, but when offered a full time position, she made it clear

that she wanted to be home to

look after her son. She was then .

offered a "tailor-made job which I

couldn't refuse.'' Laichas now

teaches math and computer

courses only for the morning

classes and then goes home to

spend her afternoons with the

students everyday, she is able to

know something about them as

individuals, not just the ambigu-

ous "them." Even having experienced the

turbulent 60's, "I always knew I'd

live the traditional life. I'm bas-

ically not much of a noncon-

formist." While folding a pair of

blue and yellow pajamas she says,

Josh, seven, Sarah, three and a

for a mother." She chuckles,"you get to practice your mothering on

other people's kids." In fact, when she's not explaining the in-

tricacies of calculus to groups of

bewildered juniors and seniors,

she's busy with the intricacies of

teaching a kindergarten Sunday School class, which is a challenge

all its own.

CHAD, from p- 8 baby powder o n his bicycie

seat, his saddle sores im-

proved tremendously.

When school resumes, Chad puts his bike away and

becomes an active part of the

student body and communi-

ty. The many sides of Chad's personality are revealed in his

various activities. Peer Coun- seling is one certain organiza-

tion that has made an impact

on Chad's way of thinking.

"Through Peer Counseling

you see the human side of a

teacher," he explains, "and

you learn to be a better lis- tener and caring person."

Aside from Peer Counsel-

ing, Chad also participates-as

a L e g e n d photographer, the

aforementioned Chamber

Choir drummer, and a male

cheerleader for football and

basketball games. He enter-

tains the IH crowds Friday

nights with his inspiring cheer

of "Go Bananas!" and

performs with the Pep Band

as well. In fact, Chad is notorious

for his ability to make people

laugh. This is a trait acquired

over many years of practice. He began a t an early age by

remaining of small stature

while his friends grew around

him. Chad made the most of

his situation and entkrtained

people with his many unusual

antics. He has since quieted his hecklers by displaying his

- - -

ability to dunk a basketball in

the 1982-1983 L e g e n d . Al-

though Chad is no longer

smaller than his friends, he

still keeps people laughing

with his many mischievuus

capers in school.

Outside of school, Chad is

an active member of the Indi-

an Hill Church, serving as t h e

assistant leader of the Youth

Advisory Committee, and

representing the youth in the

church as an elected member

of the church's ruling body , the Vestry-Session. Through

the church, he has given his t ime to help rehabilitate a-

partments in Over-the-Rhine

and frequently joined the

Open Group in various youth

functions.

schedule is part of a long-term

plan that she refers to as "banking

my time. Someone once said that a person should have half an hour

to himself everyday. Well, I'm saving up all of my free time

-for about a week in Barbados!"

Laichas describes herself as

"talkative," but what is immedi-

ately recognizable is the vocabu-

lary that she uses to be talkative.

Words like "ickey," "gooey," and

"gunky" are all necessary parts of

her daily language to facilitate the

everyday happenings of a seven-

yearsld, a three and a half-year-

old, and a two-yearsld. "This is a house where if you don't break

I

your neck in the yard for the

toys, you'll stick to the wall when you come in!" she jokes while

sitting on the floor helping one of

her "angels" put some blocks

back in a pink plastic bucket.

In her kitchen, peeling an apple for Samantha, she philoso-

phizes that "I'm waiting for the

adult person in me to emerge." She obviously takes great delight

in the identical pairs of tiny, pink

jogging shoes on the table and the

refrigerator covered with snap- shots and fingerpaintings.

"A lot of emphasis has been

put on the teaching oC values in

the classroom. I consider myself

a 'value' teacher just by trying to

be a good role model." Samantha

tumbles back into the living room

only to get something wet on the

table. But never fear, Mom is quick to pull out one of those

kleenexes she's been keeping for

just this reason. She concludes,

"I really like my job at IH; if I had to carry a briefcase and all

that, I'd miss my kids too much."

In the future, Chad plans

to attend either Hope Col-

lege, University of Vermont, o r Depauw and enrolling in a liberal arts program. His

career interests are presently

undecided.

In his words of wisdom t o incoming freshmen, Chad

provides a tongue-in-cheek

summation of his high school

experience. He advises,

"Make sure you start growing

before you get t o high school,

or else be prepared to get

whaled on." Ironically

enough, Chad did most of his

growing during high school,

no t only through physical

growth, b u t growth in charac-

ter, and he has come to b e

by Winston R Wells

I have never been a staunch

supporter of President Reagan's

foreign policy decisions, but dur-

ing his entire administration never have 1 been as outraged as I am

concerning his decision to invade

the island nation of Grenada.

Over the last week Reagan has

revealed his motives for the inva-

sion to the public, and despite

their outward strengths, these

motives are extremely weak.

Firstly, his major argument was that the invasion was needed to

insure the safety of the hundreds

of American students studying at

St. George's Medical Center in

Grenada. I think that this is his

strongest argument, and I really

have no serious objections to it.

Reagan saw the disastrous politi-

cal consequences of the Iranian

crisis on President Carter and he

stable situation in Grenada fol-

lowing the overthrow of the Bish-

op government sufficiently

threatened these other nations to

the drastic extent of calling upon the U.S. for help in any manner.

Secondly, despite their plea for

help, Reagan realized the invasion

would be a clear-cut violation of

international law, and judging

from world opinion, other nations

think it was too. Also dubious in

nature was the actual call for help-the State Department said

that the Organization of Eastern

Caribbean States supported the

invasion. Yet the larger Carib-

bean Economic Community

(CARECOM, whose very charter

advocates the "non-use of force")

was not in total agreement in the

support of the invasion. Guyana

and Surinam, both members of

CARECOM were opposed to the

invasion. In addition, other major

countries in the area, such as

Venezuela and Mexico, strongly condemned the U.S., as did the

United Nations Security Council

in a resolution which was of course vetoed by the U.S.

Finally, the issue of Cuban

presence in Grenada needs to be

discussed. After the actual in-

vasion, huge warehouses of arms

were found and it soon became

evident that the Cubans planned

to manipulate Grenada just as i t

has Angola - for Cuba's own

purposes. Yet the Pentagon has

admitted that they did not realize the extent of Cuban presence

before the invasion. I find it very

weak of Reagan to justify his

invasion on facts discovered after

the act. However, I am in total agreement of Reagan being con-

cerned over the Cuban presence in

tion to this political rationale, I

think that the President should

indeed show concern for Ameri-

should have been accomplished

by means of a much smaller and

quicker show of force; the size of

the problem did not justify his

decision for a full invasion, one

whose size is the greatest of any

invasion since the Vietnam War. A second justification for his

use of force was that other Carib- bean nations called upon the U.S.

to help provide a "collective de-

Baftered Braves to end season tonight vs. Broncos by Kevin Walzer

The football Braves will close

out a dismal season tonight, as

they take a 1-8 mark to Shawnee

Field to face Western Brown at

8:OO.

Junior quarterback Mike

Wentz feels that for the Braves to

win, they will have to "put every-

thing together."

"It's not going to be an easy game at all," he said. "They're a

good team. But if we can get

points on the board, and hang

tough defensively, we have a

chance."

IH dropped its fifth straight

game last Friday. They were easi-

ly handled by the Deer Park Wild- cats, 33-14.

IZ1 rolled to an early 14-8 lead

in the first half as they scored

both in the air and on the ground.

Deer Park recovered an IH fumble

and ran it 72 yards for the open-

ing touchdown, giving them a 7-0

lead. But the Braves came back,

driving down to the Wildcat four-

yard line. Wentz hooked up with

senior receiver Dan Kremchek in

the end zone for the touchdown.

Wentz and Kremchek also con-

verted the two-point try, giving

IH an 8-7 lead.

Later in the half, senior run-

ning back Evon Kelly broke loose and carried the ball 60 yards into

good.

to score five times over the re-

"Oh, boy. Two answers come

to mind," says golf coach Bob

West. "One is confidence. The

other is concentration."

"Physical preparation is im-

portant," adds girls tennis coach

Cindy Crilley. "A player should

be physically competent in all areas of the game, which comes

from constant practice."

West and Crilley may sound

like they are talking about differ-

ent things, but they are not. The

question put to these two was,

"What makes for a successful athlete, and sets IH golf and ten-

nis players a notch above other

schools in those areas?"

The main reason these two

are, perhaps, the most qualified to

discuss this question is because of

Staff aftends 'best' in-service day ideas of excellence in education.

The majority of the feedback

given by teachers on the work-

shop was positive. Mr. Tony

Bmeneman noted, "There were

more favorable comments for this

workshop than for workshops in

the past." Most teachers used

"best" as an adjective to describe

the in-service day, but some

found fault in the topics chosen.

The vast majority of the com-

ments sounded much like this ex-

ample: "After 23 years of in-ser-

vice workshops, we finally had

one from which I felt real benefit

because these people knew what

they were talking about, and what

they were talking about made

sense."

by David Stradling

Indian Hill teachers and ad-

ministrators attended an in-service

workshop this past 1-riday, Octo-

ber 28. Each staff member chose

to partake in two of the four ses-

sions offered.

The basis for teacher work-

shops is to introduce or expand

understanding of recent progress

in the science of education.

One of the four sessions offer-

ed was presented by Bob Monhol-

len, from Monroe, Michigan. This

session, entitled "Make it and

Take it," dealt with classroom

management and student motiva-

tion, and was directed toward the

elementary school teachers.

Barbara A. Vitale, an Educa-

tional Program Specialist in Palm

Beach County, discussed the right

b rainlleft brain theory. She

noted that education is geared

toward left brained students, and

i t is the right brained people who

seem revolutionary.

Dr. Howard Johnston, the

associate dean of the College of

Education of the University of

Cincinnati, talked about improv-

ing engaged learning time. While

some suggest that we extend the

school year, Johnston suggests

that we use the time we have

more effectively.

"Testing in Schools" was the

title of the presentation made by

Dr. Richard Coop, a professor in

the School of Education at the

University of North Carolina at

Chapel Hill. He discussed the

pros and cons of testing in

schools. A third session,which was can-

celled, was to deal with the recent

presidential commission report, A

Nation a t Risk, and the miscon-

ceptions and challenges that this report brings up. Although this

presentation did not occur, the

other sessions did follow with the

Squaws were defeated 15-9,15-9.

But to senior Mary Granger, the

tournament was a success after

being named to the All-Star vol-

leyball team by the coaches pres-

ent at the tournament.

The Squaws ended their sea-

son with a league record of four

wins and ten losses and a season

record of 8-13. "Despite our

poor record," commented Cooke,

"I think it was a great season. The girls were dedicated, hard working

and full of confidence."

Senior Elizabeth Artzt sets the ball in recent Squaws' action.

Despite their losses the

Squaws did show an improvement

on their form and play. "As far

as I'm concerned," said Cooke,

"they're the best team I've ever

coached. When considering their

form and the improvement

they've shown as individual play-

ers and as a team, they've been

one of the most successful teams

I've coached."

Granger both were named All-Star

mention. "I'm going to miss my s e

niors,"said Cooke."They made up

more good players." Amelia, Sycamore, and Western

Hills. IH was the only band in its

class to receive a Superior rating,

with 361 out of 400 possible

points, one over the minimum for

Superior. Moeller had 350, and

the others were considerably far-

t her back.

Each band was judged by four

judges, each of whom gave a score

out of 100 in his category. These

categories included two for music,

one for marching, and one for

general effect. IH received scores

of 94.5 for marching, 93 and 85.5

for music, and 88 for general ef-

fect; all of these were the highest

in the class. The flag corps' win-

ning score of 78 was not added to

the band total.

Band wins at Glen Este, to ~ I a y at state We both had injuries at the time

(McCurdy an ankle injury,

Schneebeck a pulled stomach muscle). We didn't think we'd get

t o the finals at state. But we did.

I had to reassure Lynne that I could play, and we were there to

win! She wasn't sure if I could go

all out." Added Schneebeck, "We did

have to make adjustments in our

games to make it work. I had to

play backhand side, while Karen

played forehand- it's usually op-

posite."

Abbott had some other

thoughts. "Debbie (Horton) and

I both tried our best to play real

hard. State was much different

from the regular season. It was

much tougher. Also, all those

people watching -it's much dif-

ferent!"

Crilley, for her part, felt that

Abbot and Horton did extremely

well, taking third at state.

"They, as freshmen, showed a

lot of poise and maturity, and

handled themselves really well.

They beat many senior teams,"

she praised.

A champion, then, is more

than talent I t is a mental atti-

tude. But more importantly, it is a sum of many "little thingsn-

things that make up a person, and

then, a champion.

Crilley: preparation and tradition maior factors by Paul Monach

The marching band will per-

form in the state competition

tomorrow, one week after becom-

ing grand champions at the Glen

Este Band Invitational.

The Marching Braves will get

up bright and early in order to be

able to perform at Otterbein Col-

lege in Westerville, northwest of

Columbus, at 11 :30 a.m. The

contest, sponsored by the Ohio

Music Educators Association

(OMEA), will not give trophies;

ratings only, from 1 (Superior) to

5 (Poor), will be given.

Indian Hill earned the right to

state, as at Reading, IH will com-

pete in class B, for medium-sized

bands. Band director Mr. Steve

Strider said of the band, "They'll

be ready."

The band achieved its greatest

victory in many years by winning

the @and championship at the

Glen Este Band Invitational on

Saturday, October 29. IH was

first of 29 bands competing in

five classes. IH marched in the

top class, receiving fnst-place

trophies for both the band and

the flag corps.

At Glen Este, bands competed either in Division I, for bands

marching in more than one con-

test this year, or Division 11, or

novice division, for those bands

entering only one contest. The

novice class, in which IH marched

and won last year, was further

divided into large bands and small

bands. Division I was subdivided

into classes A, B, and C, also

based on size. All bands were

scored on the same scale, with a

winner chosen from each category

and the band with the highest

score overall given the enormous

grand championship trophy.

IH was followed in Division I,

Class A by Moeller, Hillsboro,

Concentration. "Don't dwell

on it; think about what you will

going to win this ihim."

A strong mental attitude is a

key to being a champion, but other factors are inherent.

rhese are physical preparation,

tradition, and, according to some

players, camraderie.

tournament pressure. The thing is,

many of our girls had big sisters

who competed for IH in the past

(such as freshman Aubrey Abbot-

her sister Marnie graduated last

year after playing for the

Squaws). These big sisters went

to state in the past, and the little

sisters were up in Columbus with

them. So the little sisters were

weren't tense."

"I think the lack of pressure

helped us play better," added

senior Andy Plate. "We weren't

really thinking about what it was

like. We were there to play. My

attitude was, try to do well but

don't dwell on it if I don't. As Crilley said before, a player

must be physically competent.

"She must be able to react to any

situation in court," she reiterated.

"She can hit any shot, get to any

ball, keep it in play. The founda-

tion of this is drilling practice."

But beyond basic physical

skills, Crilley added, tradition

plays a large role .in success.

the past, and the pressure is noth-

ing new to them. That's a real

advantage."

Several of the players them-

selves cited different reasons.

Strider showed the magnitude

of the accomplishment, pointing

ou t that "that was only our sec-

this is a very young band. Some

of those bands had no freshmen

added that he doesn't know what
