Braves beat Sycamore and break into top ten by Chris Kenipczinski

The Braves ended a spectac- ular regular season of soccer with an impressive 13-3-2 record. Also particularly pleasing for the team was its selection as the ninth rank- ed team in Cincinnati, a feat which is unsurpassed in recent memory.

In the last game of the regular season, the team was solely try- ing to maintain its ranking and improve their overall record against a feisty team from Ham- - ilton-Badin. The Braves' of- fensive attack proved to be potent in the fust ten minutes, with Steve Womack scoring two spec-

tacular goals. Erich Metzger ad- ded .the Braves third goal later in the first half to put the team up 3-0. However, after Hamilton- Badin mgrouped during half time, the squad faced a much different

. type of task, a defensive struggle.

No longer able to stroll in for the quick goal, the Braves faced an of- fensive resurgence by Badin which began to press into the Braves' territory. Nevertheless, it seemed that no offense could penetrate the invincible Braves' defense as lney held off the Wildcats' at- tacks, garnering for goalie Ian Meyer his firnth shutout.

Meyer's eigth shutout came in the previous game against Reading as Wamack punched in three goals with Metzger (2) and Marc Wishard (1) each providing theu own offensive attack to combine for a 6-0 thrashing.

The team's biggest victory ~f the season came against arch- rival Sycamore. No longer in the Braves' league, the team was out to prove to the number three ranked Aviators, who was really the best team on this side

of the city. The Aves jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on the goal of Marc Spelder. However, undaunted, the Braves fought back and with the help of a Sy- camore. defender, Metzger was able to tie the game up at one all. The next twenty minutes proved to be crucial for the team, as it held off relentless Aviator attacks and finally slipped by a staunch Sycamore defense to allow Brad Smith to shoot the winning goal underneath the

upponent's defense. 'I'his solid- ified the Braves' ranking in the top-ten as ,well as providing a great emotional boot for the team as it headed toward the end of the regular season.

With the Braves beginning tournament play, several team members should be commended for their outstanding play this year, particularly Womack and Metzger who are one of the most provductive scoring threats in the city with each scoring over twenty goals this season. Meyer has also been a standout as he leads the city in shoutouts with nine. Yet, none of Meyerys feats would have been possible with- out the unyielding Braves' d- fense, anchored by Scott Seibert who has played particularly well in the last six or seven games to prove why he is one of the team's best players. Also vital members of the defense are John Rabenold, Mike Eaton, and Scott

Farrell, all potential CHL first team selections.

The team's first three matchs (assuming they don't lose) will be at home, providing a nice way for the team t o head into the tournament and eventually on to state.

Squaws lose last game; however, spirits still high by Alissa Raleigh

''Our end-of-season game was disappointing because we have worked so hard for it all, but it was extremely exciting; we play- ed wonderfully against Fairmont and for the first time really gave them a challenge," stated ,a bois- trous Erin Hays after the Squaws lost a lurid itch 5-0, knock- ing them out of the district tournament.

Coach Vera Hamm extolled the Squaws' play as being "all I could ask for. I was extremely proud. Everything was superb.

We are one step closer to beating Fairrnont, which hasn't been done for about seven years. We'll clinch it next year. It is difficult playing this first-rate team early in the season and not again until the tournament, but we're ready, willing and able.''

Fairmont has tradiiionally dominated the district and will play the survivor of the Summit- Northmont game today.

To quality to play r'airmont, IH had to beat Seven Hills in

the opening round of districts: Due to "excellent skills, mag- nificent offense and a no-fail de- fense," Hamm observed, "we got

them 6-0. Our stront; Jefense

moved the ball up the field out to the wings who in turn passed it in to [junior] Sara Wilson, who knocked it in exhibiting some fancy stickwork."

Wislon reflects on her season as being "really fun and the games we won made all the painful prac- tices worthwhile. Overall, we were terriffic. It's sad to end the season but we'll be back as seniors to dominate."

The team's consensus is "that while the season began roughly the rest was all uphill," as junior Heather Holberton put it.

Junior Emily Ruff continued, "The early losses really helped us to improve our game. Next year

we're going all the way to state." Holberton added, "Definitely

with an 8-0-1 league record we know what we're doing. The games we lost were not league games, and in fact were against

particularly skilled and experien- ced teams. This year was basical- ly a building season and we brought thirteen strong person- alities together and made a fun- ctional team. We have the most spirit!"

"It's really great when fans come out to watch us. That is when we play our best. We app- reciate it so much," cheered jun-

ior Molly Higgins. Coach Hamm expressed her

sentiments for the year in recog- nizing that "following in respect- ed and successful footsteps like [former coach] Carol Wehmann's is trying, difficult and at times frustrating. But I have had the

best traming: I was on the team for four years under Wehmann's rule and then had one year's ex-

perience as assistant coach with her and now am guided by her, but I strive to make my own mark. It's tough to fulfill such a position, but now I've established myself and we can really turn it on next year.

"Although we are losing six

seniors we will undoubtedly pros- per with returning juniors and the JV players who will contribute. They have a 2-2-2 record, of which I am pleased because they are almost all new to the game. Our goal-and we will not quit until its fruition-is to absolute- ly slaughter ~ e o n t . "

Rowe, though, hopes that will be overcome. "I think it . can happen."

Since the team is comprised of nearly all underclassmen, in- cluding tlre steady sophomore pair of Jim Thornton and Rolf Schorr, it is safe to assume that the team will continue their league dominance and extend it throughout the state over the next couple of years.

Band takes by Jeff Currier

The IH Marching Band closed off its competition season with a win at the Reading-Lock- land Invitational Saturday, Oc- tober 12.

The band was awarded the Grand Champion trophy for the second year in a row by accumu- lating the most points overall. First place awards were also given to the percussion section and the Color Guard. "We realty worked hard, and it paid off, finally," said senior guard member Angela Kovach.

Grand Championship "Finishing second at the

Roger Bacon Contest was a bit of a letdown, because we got used to winning. In a way it was good, because we worked hard to win at Reading," senior Laura Harmon commented. The band was fol- lowed by Lakota and Roger Bacon, who placed second and third respectively.

For most of the bands at Reading, qualifying for State Competition in November is the prime objective. Although IH

qualified, director Steve Strider decided not to go, because "there

are a lot of preparations to be made for the New York trip."

In order to raise money, there will. be a mixer in the cafete- ria tonight featuring the band Tilt. Tickets are $2.50 at the door or $2.00 if purchased from a band member.

The Senior Privilege Area has thus far been an

stereo and numerous bean bags has provided a center

Recently, these seniors received a sheet with a list of jobs acceptable for admittance into the lounge.

These jobs include work on the senior lounge itself, i the faculty lounge, the float, or the concession stand. The sheet's directions also asked for the number of

In the last few years, terrorism

has reached an all-time high.

Everybody remembers the deva-

stating truck bomb that exploded

in our Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 256 American Marines.

Other terrorist acts have occurred

in the Beirut turmoil, ranging from the bombing of the U. S.

Embassy .to the kidnapping of seven U. S. diplomats. To add to

rican intelligence had learned that

an American, Leon Klinghoffer, had been murdered by the hijac-

kers. But, supposedly the Egyp- tian government had not known

this and the hijackers would be

scheduled to leave by air. Soon after, the plane carrying the four

hijackers was intercepted over the

Mediterranean by U. S. fighter jets. t k n escorted The Egyptian to a U. S. airliner naval base was

in Sicily where the Italian govern- ment would then take the hijac-

kers into their own jurisdiction.

This courageous act by the United

States was a great victory against terrorism in the world.

It's high time a country such

as the United States of America took action against these cold-

blooded killers. It is a great

ed in 1980 as a team, in 1981 in

doubles. Expectations for girls'

tennis at Indian Hill have con- sequently heen continually high.

This year's team, though, is somehow different. Even by their

elite standards, they have been better this year, than at virtually

any other point in IH history. Even coach Cindy Crilley states

flatly, "They're the best team I've

ever had." This "best team" has been

in existence for either two or three years, depending on your

perspective. Juniors Aubrey Ab- bott and Debbie Horton, now

Although nobody knew it

then, that was the last dual match

the Squaws would lose. In 1984, with the aid of freshmen Tracy

Barton and Molly Poffenberger,

they had a season that dreams are made of. Not only did they defeat Centerville, 3-2, to advance

to, and win the state tournament, but Abbott and Horton captured

the doubles championships with Barton winning the singles champ-

ionships. Three state titles in one

year, it boggles the mind. But they could do it again this

year. The charge to three more state titles is already two thirds

complete, as the Squaws have al-

ready won championships in sin- gles and doubles (Farley and Ab-

bottIHorton, respectively). In-

The girls' varsity "B" tennis team ended their season with

eight wins, five losses and one

tie. Their last two matches

included a loss to a tough Alter

squad, 4-1, and a 3-3 tie with

Cincinnati Country Day. In the Alter match, senior

Sally Wilbur was IH's sole win-

ner, 6-2, 6-4. IH victories were a bit more

plentiful in the CCD match; sophomore Tiffany Meyer won,

6-3, 4-6, 6-1; sophomore Les- lie Kropp and the doubles team of senior Carin Chabut and

freshman Diane Elson also won,

by scores of 6-1, 6-0 and 6-4, 6-2.

The team's coach, Dave Tanner, was pretty happy with

the season as a whole. He feels,

"Everybody had actually been

playing a smarter game of tennis by the end of the season."

About next season, he be- lieves, "As long as the same peo-

ple come back, the team will be

even better if they start off at

that particular point they ended

at. Certain people are motivated

to go out and take lessons now that they see what they can do."

English Francis brings the culture of France to IH -

by Alissa Raleigh For years that frantically em-

phitic and distinguished looking English woman could be seen hastening from classroom to class- room as a substitute, to command a legion of sometimes unruly stu- dents exulting the absense of their regular teacher. A valued substi- tute she was, due to her extensive knov~lege and language training.

This year, however, Mrs. Ange- la Francis has elected to teach three of Mrs. Wund's old classes: AP French Language and eighth grade French.

Although the uncertainty of each day has been expunged for Francis-"I really deplored getting up at some ungodly hour to wait for the phone to ring calling me to work [as a substitute]"-her work has increased in manifold ways. "My husband doesn't un- derstand why this is only a part- time job. I come in early, I leave late, and still take work home. No specific plans were left for my AP classes [when

Wund left], so I am construct- ing them, which is difficult."

acter, Francis describes her re- cent switch from subbing to con- stant instruction as "more falling into place than a job." She knew the school, faculty, administra- tion, and students, which molli- fied the normal fears of a new teacher. Frands had no prob- lem situating herself, because she had already ingratiated herself with the students and earned a teputation of vigor and spritely

and amusing displays, with a r e a ability to teach and remain enjoy- able.

Francis was born in Gates- head, England, where she grew up and graduated from Alawick high school. "It was really am- using, becasue right across the way was Alawick castle where our commencement ceremony was conducted; it was quite eccen- tric with all the officials present,

sort 01 tlamboyant with al l the tradition ."

Living so close to France, Francis developed an affinity for France from an early age. Her father worked for British Airlines, which facilitated travel among countries. At the age of four- teen, Francis broached France, and frequented the country after that. "It's difficult to explain the fancy I have for France. Of course I love the food and wine, but it's something more-just the

ambience and the mood of the country. I really like it. I began to speak French at the age of eleven ."

She continued her. French studies at Deurlian College, where she majored in the subject. After graduation Francis packed for France, where she taught English to French students. "Then I taught in Grimsby, a pretentious town claiming the title of the world's largest fishing port. Af- ter that I moved to Chilicothe, exchanging class responsibilities with another teacher. One year later I got married."

Danny 'spears' Trumpy on radio show by Kevin Walzer

For Danny Spears, an IH cus- todian, Friday, October 11 was not a normal day.

Most of you probably were preparing for the Homecoming football game that night, or eat- ing dinner, or indulging in other 6:00 Friday routines when Spears had his moment of glory. Had you been listening to Bob Trum- py's call-in sports show on WLW, you would've heard Spears hold- ing forth-in the studio with Trumpy .

"Yeah, I was a little nervous at first, but not after the first five minutes," recalled Spears "It was no big deal.''

Spears was doing Trumpy's call-in show as a result of a heat- ed argument between him and the well-known, controversial sports-

castel. The discussion which took place a few days earlier con- cerned baseball strategy.

"He got into a fight [over the phone] with some guy about how Eric Davis [of the Reds] should

play more, and bat second. The guy on the phone said that Davis would get more fastballs batting

behind Eddie Milner, sd ~ ' i iner wouldn't steal bases. Trumpy kept insisting that no, Davis would get curve balls, so he would hit into double pIays. That was totally wrong, so I called in and told Trumpy that ," said Spears.

This was not the first time that Spears had called in to Trum- py's show-"I've been doing it for four or five years noww-but it was the most momentus call he's made. Trumpy and Spears got into a big argument on the air, and the battle was not resolved when Spears finally hung up.

"Some guy called in the next day asking Trumpy about me, and Trumpy said I'd never argue with him face-to-face. He said I was too gutless to come down to the studio ." Spears was not amused. "I called in [to Trumpy's pro- ducers] and said, 'This is Gutless. When can I come down?' "

The arrangements were quick- ly made, and Spears was schedul- ed for Friday, October 11. He believes Trumpy "thought I'd be scared to come down; once I did come down, he thought I'd screw up. But I didn't ."

Instead, Spears led Trumpy's show, fielding callers' comments, getting into an occasional battle with Trumpy. "He woke up after he realized I wasn't nervous and scared ," laughed Spears.

Spears said that he would do Trumpy's show again "in a min- ute," and said he wasn't going to

stop calling in to the sortscas- ter's broadcast.

"He's so arrogant, and he's almost always wrong in some way about what he's saying," said Spears. "I have to correct him, but he hates that, especially the phrase I use-'erroneous informa- tion-' That gets on his nerves -so much ."

Could Spears cite an example of Trumpy's "wrongness"? He noted that the argument over Eric

Davis "is a good one. In baseball, if the leadoff guy's speedy and on base, you give the second hitter fastballs to offset a steal. The ball gets to the catcher faster, and he

can make the throw. That's just common sense. Which gets to the catcher faster-a fastball, or curve ball [Trumpy's assertion] ?"

When Trumpy gets into fights, according to Spears, "he's never willing to admit he's wrong. He turns down the volume of the phone caller, so you can't hear- that's his favorite trick. It's ter- rible ."

Spears, though, stood up to Trumpy. "And I'd do it again, too ."

"What about academics?" he continued. "That's what we're here for, come on!"

"What about them?" I could

"I manage to get along better than other people. My long shot

for college is Princeton and with my strong 2.9 average I think I'm near the top of their admissions."

He went on to say that he is realistically looking at Hamilton College, Oberlin, and Connecti- cut College.

KEY CLUB, from p. 3 around the United States, the Caribbean an Canada comprise the group, making it one of the largest student service organiza- tions in the world.

Service groups like Key Club concentrate on serving the school and the surrounding community through volunteer work and fund raising.

Cheerleading, editing all part of Tricia k schedule by Tom Taylor

Legend editor, marching band

member, cheerleader, Camp Kern

couselor, youngest of eight broth-

ers and sisters; these terms are all interrelated when speaking of

Tricia Schaefer. With such an im-

pressive list, It almost seems ludi-

crous to say that Tricia actually

has trouble describing herself. Be-

lievc it or not though, one unfam-

iliar with Tricia might at first be-

lieve that she does nothing.

Pondering for several minutes

on what to say for her sketch, she

finally manages, "I swam." Tricia

spent eleven summers of her life

swimming at Kenwood Country

Club, yet this fact does not even

seem important to her. She ex-

plains that her primary reason for

swimming was, "because my mom

didn't want me to sit at home all

the time." As for her swimming

talents, Tricia describes herself as I

"average." She has usually placed I at the local championships which

are held at the end of each sum-

mer.

Tricia is beginning to admit to

all the- activities she takes part in.

Erich enjoys by Davis Griffin

I planned to meet Erich at his

house around 11 : 00 last Friday. I

called that morning and disco-

vered that he had slept at Brad

Smith's house. I called and Brad's

brother Tyler answered the

phone. I asked if Erich Metzger

was there.

"Wait a minute and I'll

check," he said.

After about three minutes

Tyler tells me,"Yeah, he's here."

I wait a few confused seconds and

ask, "Well, can you get him?" I

am soon quieted by the hoarse

voice of an exhausted Erich. We

agreed to meet at 2:00 over at

Brad's.

Once I reached the house, I

was informed that Erich was

taking a much-needed shower.

Soon he strolled down into the

kitchen with dripping hair to look

for his fried eggs and toast, which

Brad had skillfully prepared. We

sat at the kitchen table and Erich

grabbed the milk jug, cautiously

aiming the stream so as to pour

the milk into his glass. He missed

edge of the table, crashing on the

Band would certainly qualify as

one of the most important of

them. Tricia has played the clari-

net in the band for all of her high

school career. She was elected to

the "Band Counsel" which is a

group of students that help

Mr. Strider make decisions about

the band. Only three representa-

tives from each class are chosen

for the counsel.

"Freshman year in the band

was the best," she comments.

"We could look up to the se-

niors." Jay McFarland was a par-

ticularly prominent "influence"

on Tricia and some of her fresh-

man peers. "We got excited at

any recognition from him.''

Being a senior leader in the

band, Tricia has learned to use her

leadership skills in the most pro-

ductive ways possible. "One time

Jeff Currier and I plotted to make

the band screw-up at a compe-

tition. We were going to cause a

'train wreck' in our line. We were

just thinking about it-we weren't

actually going to do it."

Somehow Tricia has also man-

aged to be a cheerleader through-

in the marching band. She com-

ments, "I like cheering at basket-

ball games better than football

games because more people are

there."

ing yet funny time last year at

Deer Park when the mount the

cheerleaders formed collapsed to

clean-up, Erich took a bite from

his buttered toast and stated,

"When I d-onkhave to wake up at

6:30 a. m., my favorite meal is

breakfast and my favorite break-

fast is eggs, therefore by the tran-

sitive property my favorite food

is eggs. Ha ha ha haaaa!"

"Ask me about soccer," he

blurted between bites.

"Okay, what about soccer?" I

said.

"Our soccer team's God! If

we keep playing the way we are,

we have as good a chance as any-

one at State."

Realistically, Erich isn't exag-

gerating. The team's record is an

extraordinary 13-3-2. He has

been playing wing on the varsity

level for two years, and as a cap- tain he hopes to "slaughter a few.

His athletic talents are not li-

makes good use of his hands play-

ing guard on the basketball team.

I asked him what he felt about

the upcoming season. He grinned

and exclaimed,"I'm looking for-

ward to my season with the Ham-

mer; Hammerball should be pret-

ty exciting."

Aside from his athletic pur-

suits, Erich also indulges in jazz

guitar, receiving mellow lessons at

the Musical Arts Center.

"How did you manage to start

playing the guitar?" I asked.

"I started in eighth grade, dur-

ing that time I played in 'Iliad',

one of the premier rock bands of

all time."

1 asked, "Why did you want to

progress past rock and play jazz?''

He explained that: "Jazz just

dives much deeper into the the-

ory of guitar. Rock just hits the

basics. Basically all I do at those

lessons is sit around and jam." He

rambled on to describe the impor-

tance of his acoustic guitar. "If

there was a fire I would save my

guitar which is my most valuable

possession." He glanced down-

with David Fdliller A young boy tosses over and

over in his generic white sheets. The walls, steely gray, entrap the

young boy. The walls protect one

set of nightmares from the other

ones that dance outside. The young boy sweats thickly as he

screams into the dark void around his cold metal bed. The darkness

bears witness to the plea of a but-

teffly. So beautiful, so gentle, so

small. The young boy jumps er-

ect in his bed. The whites of his

eyes seem almost visible in the

darkness. The boy wheezes,

"Molly, mother Molly is dead,

mother. mother." The lights flash to brilliance as

a woman clad in white with

strange plastic tags with her pic-

ture reaches out to the young boy

and struggles to hold his sweat

greased body still. The woman

cries with the boy, "They are

gone. I'm here, your mother. . . I will find her. I will. Trust.

A long deathly silence breaks

into the room; only the murmur

of silent breathing can be heard.

The white lady firmly puts her hands around the boy and mo- therly holds him. The boy peers

FRANCIS, from p. 4

k The real difference Francis noted between European and Am-

petuated. "Oh, I couldn't believe

it. The cacophony created by a

single class was incredible in Am- erica. Also I think kids in the

States are more independent and individual in the way they ex-

press themselves. There isn't the

real desire to conform."

Mrs. Francis presntly resides

in Anderson Township with her hubby of twenty years, who does

research at the microbiology sec-

tion of the FDA They have twin

daughters who attend Lake Erie

College on a splendid "two for

the price of one" deal. As for her

most instinctively. Everything is

instinctive, he thinks to himself.

They call me unstable. I just need to know where my mother is.

The night douses the boy, and the

theater of nightmares returns, but the young man has responded to

the tranquil call of valium, but as

he falls into his controlled state

he recalls lines of poetry he had

written the day before:

The world casts me aside

I'm but an empty shell

but with college and expenses and

all - my husband and I hope to

travel more in a few years. For now I spend my extra time

playing taxi for my two girls when they have part-time jobs.

It's a real help to have daughters who take language classes,

because they help tell me what in

particular they like about profes- sors and what hinders their

learning. "

This well-brought-up and learned pundit has one last bit of

advice. "Languages are becoming

increasingly important: French

because Canada is so close, Span-

ish because a major portion of

Americans are hispanic and even

more now the Eastern languages,

like Japanese, Chinese, and Rus-

sian. I urge Americans to con- centrate on learning more lan-

guages in order to remain a world

Tricia comments,, "I think this

well. It looks good.

"I hope that we don't procras-

can have more time to goof off

and have fun."

A few weeks ago, Tricia took

on the demanding task of being a

Camp Kern counselor. The op-

portunity to be with sixth graders

was a perfect one for her, as she wishes to become a part of ele-

mentary education in the future.

"I liked all the kids in my cabin,"

she mentions, "but one girl drove

me absolutely crazy. She was al-

ways talking in a long, drawn-out,

there were really no problems with the kids."

English Francis brings the culture of France to IH -

by Alissa Raleigh For years that frantically em-

phitic and distinguished looking English woman could be seen hastening from classroom to class- room as a substitute, to command a legion of sometimes unruly stu- dents exulting the absense of their regular teacher. A valued substi- tute she was, due to her extensive knov~lege and language training.

This year, however, Mrs. Ange- la Francis has elected to teach three of Mrs. Wund's old classes: AP French Language and eighth grade French.

Although the uncertainty of each day has been expunged for Francis-"I really deplored getting up at some ungodly hour to wait for the phone to ring calling me to work [as a substitute]"-her work has increased in manifold ways. "My husband doesn't un- derstand why this is only a part- time job. I come in early, I leave late, and still take work home. No specific plans were left for my AP classes [when

Wund left], so I am construct- ing them, which is difficult."

acter, Francis describes her re- cent switch from subbing to con- stant instruction as "more falling into place than a job." She knew the school, faculty, administra- tion, and students, which molli- fied the normal fears of a new teacher. Frands had no prob- lem situating herself, because she had already ingratiated herself with the students and earned a teputation of vigor and spritely

1

and amusing displays, with a r e a ability to teach and remain enjoy- able.

Francis was born in Gates- head, England, where she grew up and graduated from Alawick high school. "It was really am- using, becasue right across the way was Alawick castle where our commencement ceremony was conducted; it was quite eccen- tric with all the officials present,

sort 01 tlamboyant with al l the tradition ."

Living so close to France, Francis developed an affinity for France from an early age. Her father worked for British Airlines, which facilitated travel among countries. At the age of four- teen, Francis broached France, and frequented the country after that. "It's difficult to explain the fancy I have for France. Of course I love the food and wine, but it's something more-just the

ambience and the mood of the country. I really like it. I began to speak French at the age of eleven ."

She continued her. French studies at Deurlian College, where she majored in the subject. After graduation Francis packed for France, where she taught English to French students. "Then I taught in Grimsby, a pretentious town claiming the title of the world's largest fishing port. Af- ter that I moved to Chilicothe, exchanging class responsibilities with another teacher. One year later I got married."

Danny 'spears' Trumpy on radio show by Kevin Walzer

For Danny Spears, an IH cus- todian, Friday, October 11 was not a normal day.

Most of you probably were preparing for the Homecoming football game that night, or eat- ing dinner, or indulging in other 6:00 Friday routines when Spears had his moment of glory. Had you been listening to Bob Trum- py's call-in sports show on WLW, you would've heard Spears hold- ing forth-in the studio with Trumpy .

"Yeah, I was a little nervous at first, but not after the first five minutes," recalled Spears "It was no big deal.''

Spears was doing Trumpy's call-in show as a result of a heat- ed argument between him and the well-known, controversial sports-

castel. The discussion which took place a few days earlier con- cerned baseball strategy.

"He got into a fight [over the phone] with some guy about how Eric Davis [of the Reds] should

play more, and bat second. The guy on the phone said that Davis would get more fastballs batting

behind Eddie Milner, sd ~ ' i iner wouldn't steal bases. Trumpy kept insisting that no, Davis would get curve balls, so he would hit into double pIays. That was totally wrong, so I called in and told Trumpy that ," said Spears.

This was not the first time that Spears had called in to Trum- py's show-"I've been doing it for four or five years noww-but it was the most momentus call he's made. Trumpy and Spears got into a big argument on the air, and the battle was not resolved when Spears finally hung up.

"Some guy called in the next day asking Trumpy about me, and Trumpy said I'd never argue with him face-to-face. He said I was too gutless to come down to the studio ." Spears was not amused. "I called in [to Trumpy's pro- ducers] and said, 'This is Gutless. When can I come down?' "

The arrangements were quick- ly made, and Spears was schedul- ed for Friday, October 11. He believes Trumpy "thought I'd be scared to come down; once I did come down, he thought I'd screw up. But I didn't ."

Instead, Spears led Trumpy's show, fielding callers' comments, getting into an occasional battle with Trumpy. "He woke up after he realized I wasn't nervous and scared ," laughed Spears.

Spears said that he would do Trumpy's show again "in a min- ute," and said he wasn't going to

stop calling in to the sortscas- ter's broadcast.

"He's so arrogant, and he's almost always wrong in some way about what he's saying," said Spears. "I have to correct him, but he hates that, especially the phrase I use-'erroneous informa- tion-' That gets on his nerves -so much ."

Could Spears cite an example of Trumpy's "wrongness"? He noted that the argument over Eric

Davis "is a good one. In baseball, if the leadoff guy's speedy and on base, you give the second hitter fastballs to offset a steal. The ball gets to the catcher faster, and he

can make the throw. That's just common sense. Which gets to the catcher faster-a fastball, or curve ball [Trumpy's assertion] ?"

When Trumpy gets into fights, according to Spears, "he's never willing to admit he's wrong. He turns down the volume of the phone caller, so you can't hear- that's his favorite trick. It's ter- rible ."

Spears, though, stood up to Trumpy. "And I'd do it again, too ."

Service groups like Key Club concentrate on serving the school and the surrounding community through volunteer work and fund raising.

Our club was started four years ago by Paul Smith ('82). The current president is junior Rob Seal. Assisting in the ad- ministative duties of the club are senior Jeff Currier, vice-pres- ident, junior Alissa Raleigh, sec- retary, and Helen Hwang, treasur- er.

Current members are looking for active and enthusiastic stu- dents to add to the club's growing members. The club meets Mon- days at 7:00 p.m. in Miss Hayes' science room. Interested students are encouraged to come.

by Lee Tucker

In the last few years, terrorism

has reached an all-time high.

Everybody remembers the deva-

stating truck bomb that exploded

in our Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 256 American Marines.

Other terrorist acts have occurred

in the Beirut turmoil, ranging from the bombing of the U. S.

Embassy .to the kidnapping of seven U. S. diplomats. To add to

rican intelligence had learned that

an American, Leon Klinghoffer, had been murdered by the hijac-

kers. But, supposedly the Egyp- tian government had not known

this and the hijackers would be

scheduled to leave by air. Soon after, the plane carrying the four

hijackers was intercepted over the

Mediterranean by U. S. fighter jets. t k n escorted The Egyptian to a U. S. airliner naval base was

in Sicily where the Italian govern- ment would then take the hijac-

kers into their own jurisdiction.

This courageous act by the United

States was a great victory against terrorism in the world.

It's high time a country such

as the United States of America took action against these cold-

blooded killers. It is a great

feeling to have successfully cap-

tured terrorists who have been

team has almost always been out- standing, competing on the state

level in singles, doubles, and as a

team. Championships in these

various divisions, have also occur-

ed in 1980 as a team, in 1981 in

doubles. Expectations for girls'

tennis at Indian Hill have con- sequently heen continually high.

This year's team, though, is somehow different. Even by their

elite standards, they have been better this year, than at virtually

any other point in IH history. Even coach Cindy Crilley states

flatly, "They're the best team I've

ever had." This "best team" has been

in existence for either two or three years, depending on your

perspective. Juniors Aubrey Ab- bott and Debbie Horton, now

- the hands of Centerville.

Although nobody knew it

then, that was the last dual match

the Squaws would lose. In 1984, with the aid of freshmen Tracy

Barton and Molly Poffenberger,

they had a season that dreams are made of. Not only did they defeat Centerville, 3-2, to advance

to, and win the state tournament, but Abbott and Horton captured

the doubles championships with Barton winning the singles champ-

ionships. Three state titles in one

year, it boggles the mind. But they could do it again this

year. The charge to three more state titles is already two thirds

complete, as the Squaws have al-

ready won championships in sin- gles and doubles (Farley and Ab-

bottIHorton, respectively). In-

this list, just last summer a TWA flight was hijacked in Greece and

It is not overstepping the bounds of reason to say that a

The girls' varsity "B" tennis team ended their season with

eight wins, five losses and one

tie. Their last two matches

included a loss to a tough Alter

squad, 4-1, and a 3-3 tie with

Cincinnati Country Day. In the Alter match, senior

Sally Wilbur was IH's sole win-

ner, 6-2, 6-4. IH victories were a bit more

plentiful in the CCD match; sophomore Tiffany Meyer won,

6-3, 4-6, 6-1; sophomore Les- lie Kropp and the doubles team of senior Carin Chabut and

freshman Diane Elson also won,

by scores of 6-1, 6-0 and 6-4, 6-2.

The team's coach, Dave Tanner, was pretty happy with

the season as a whole. He feels,

"Everybody had actually been

playing a smarter game of tennis by the end of the season."

About next season, he be- lieves, "As long as the same peo-

even better if they start off at

that particular point they ended

at. Certain people are motivated

to go out and take lessons now that they see what they can do."

The Senior Privilege Area has thus far been an

stereo and numerous bean bags has provided a center

Recently, these seniors received a sheet with a list of jobs acceptable for admittance into the lounge.

These jobs include work on the senior lounge itself, i the faculty lounge, the float, or the concession stand. The sheet's directions also asked for the number of

hours put into one or more of the projects. It also established the minimum number of hours acceptab- le for admittance into the privilege area as four. ~

As the varsity soccer Squaws

finished the 1985 season, the

team advanced into districts

hoping to continue their winning ways against Seven Hills.

The team defeated them 4'1 after they only had tiea tne team 2-2 during the regular season.

Goals were scored by Tricia Craig, Chris Hall, and Jenny Purcell.

In the Squaws' last regular season game was at Reading, the

team crushed the Blue Devils

7-0. The highlight of the game were goals by Cadi Cucinotta,

Paula Lyon, Lee Baumes, -and

Shari Zesch.

However, Indian Hill's great-

est thrill this season was the vic-

tory over Madeira. Madeira was only a game out of first place, but

the team wiped out any chance

that Madeira would have had

team's two goals were scored

by Diana Greiner and Kelly OV- ington.

Braves beat Sycamore and break into top ten by Chris Kenipczinski

The Braves ended a spectac- ular regular season of soccer with an impressive 13-3-2 record. Also particularly pleasing for the team was its selection as the ninth rank- ed team in Cincinnati, a feat which is unsurpassed in recent memory.

In the last game of the regular season, the team was solely try- ing to maintain its ranking and improve their overall record against a feisty team from Ham- - ilton-Badin. The Braves' of- fensive attack proved to be potent in the fust ten minutes, with Steve Womack scoring two spec-

tacular goals. Erich Metzger ad- ded .the Braves third goal later in the first half to put the team up 3-0. However, after Hamilton- Badin mgrouped during half time, the squad faced a much different

. type of task, a defensive struggle.

No longer able to stroll in for the quick goal, the Braves faced an of- fensive resurgence by Badin which began to press into the Braves' territory. Nevertheless, it seemed that no offense could penetrate the invincible Braves' defense as lney held off the Wildcats' at- tacks, garnering for goalie Ian Meyer his firnth shutout.

Meyer's eigth shutout came in the previous game against Reading as Wamack punched in three goals with Metzger (2) and Marc Wishard (1) each providing theu own offensive attack to combine for a 6-0 thrashing.

The team's biggest victory ~f the season came against arch- rival Sycamore. No longer in the Braves' league, the team was out to prove to the number three ranked Aviators, who was really the best team on this side

of the city. The Aves jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on the goal of Marc Spelder. However, undaunted, the Braves fought back and with the help of a Sy- camore. defender, Metzger was able to tie the game up at one all. The next twenty minutes proved to be crucial for the team, as it held off relentless Aviator attacks and finally slipped by a staunch Sycamore defense to allow Brad Smith to shoot the winning goal underneath the

upponent's defense. 'I'his solid- ified the Braves' ranking in the top-ten as ,well as providing a great emotional boot for the team as it headed toward the end of the regular season.

With the Braves beginning tournament play, several team members should be commended for their outstanding play this year, particularly Womack and Metzger who are one of the most provductive scoring threats in the city with each scoring over twenty goals this season. Meyer has also been a standout as he leads the city in shoutouts with nine. Yet, none of Meyerys feats would have been possible with- out the unyielding Braves' d- fense, anchored by Scott Seibert who has played particularly well in the last six or seven games to prove why he is one of the team's best players. Also vital members of the defense are John Rabenold, Mike Eaton, and Scott

Farrell, all potential CHL first team selections.

The team's first three matchs (assuming they don't lose) will be at home, providing a nice way for the team t o head into the tournament and eventually on to state.

Squaws lose last game; however, spirits still high by Alissa Raleigh

''Our end-of-season game was disappointing because we have worked so hard for it all, but it was extremely exciting; we play- ed wonderfully against Fairmont and for the first time really gave them a challenge," stated ,a bois- trous Erin Hays after the Squaws lost a lurid itch 5-0, knock- ing them out of the district tournament.

Coach Vera Hamm extolled the Squaws' play as being "all I could ask for. I was extremely proud. Everything was superb.

We are one step closer to beating Fairrnont, which hasn't been done for about seven years. We'll clinch it next year. It is difficult playing this first-rate team early in the season and not again until the tournament, but we're ready, willing and able.''

Fairmont has tradiiionally dominated the district and will play the survivor of the Summit- Northmont game today.

To quality to play r'airmont, IH had to beat Seven Hills in

the opening round of districts: Due to "excellent skills, mag- nificent offense and a no-fail de- fense," Hamm observed, "we got

them 6-0. Our stront; Jefense

moved the ball up the field out to the wings who in turn passed it in to [junior] Sara Wilson, who knocked it in exhibiting some fancy stickwork."

Wislon reflects on her season as being "really fun and the games we won made all the painful prac- tices worthwhile. Overall, we were terriffic. It's sad to end the season but we'll be back as seniors to dominate."

The team's consensus is "that while the season began roughly the rest was all uphill," as junior Heather Holberton put it.

Junior Emily Ruff continued, "The early losses really helped us to improve our game. Next year

we're going all the way to state." Holberton added, "Definitely

with an 8-0-1 league record we know what we're doing. The games we lost were not league games, and in fact were against

particularly skilled and experien- ced teams. This year was basical- ly a building season and we brought thirteen strong person- alities together and made a fun- ctional team. We have the most spirit!"

"It's really great when fans come out to watch us. That is when we play our best. We app- reciate it so much," cheered jun-

ior Molly Higgins. Coach Hamm expressed her

sentiments for the year in recog- nizing that "following in respect- ed and successful footsteps like [former coach] Carol Wehmann's is trying, difficult and at times frustrating. But I have had the

best traming: I was on the team for four years under Wehmann's rule and then had one year's ex-

perience as assistant coach with her and now am guided by her, but I strive to make my own mark. It's tough to fulfill such a position, but now I've established myself and we can really turn it on next year.

"Although we are losing six

seniors we will undoubtedly pros- per with returning juniors and the JV players who will contribute. They have a 2-2-2 record, of which I am pleased because they are almost all new to the game. Our goal-and we will not quit until its fruition-is to absolute- ly slaughter ~ e o n t . "

Rowe, though, hopes that will be overcome. "I think it . can happen."

Since the team is comprised of nearly all underclassmen, in- cluding tlre steady sophomore pair of Jim Thornton and Rolf Schorr, it is safe to assume that the team will continue their league dominance and extend it throughout the state over the next couple of years.

Band takes by Jeff Currier

The IH Marching Band closed off its competition season with a win at the Reading-Lock- land Invitational Saturday, Oc- tober 12.

The band was awarded the Grand Champion trophy for the second year in a row by accumu- lating the most points overall. First place awards were also given to the percussion section and the Color Guard. "We realty worked hard, and it paid off, finally," said senior guard member Angela Kovach.

Grand Championship "Finishing second at the

Roger Bacon Contest was a bit of a letdown, because we got used to winning. In a way it was good, because we worked hard to win at Reading," senior Laura Harmon commented. The band was fol- lowed by Lakota and Roger Bacon, who placed second and third respectively.

For most of the bands at Reading, qualifying for State Competition in November is the prime objective. Although IH

qualified, director Steve Strider decided not to go, because "there

are a lot of preparations to be made for the New York trip."

In order to raise money, there will. be a mixer in the cafete- ria tonight featuring the band Tilt. Tickets are $2.50 at the door or $2.00 if purchased from a band member.
