Arnold's JV Braves
by Mike BetragIia
Coach Jim Arnold is hoping to
have as good of a record as last
year's 13-7 JV basketball squad.
Arnold will be in a new position
with the JV team. Coach Bob
West retired from that post at the
end of last season, so Arnold
moved up from the freshman lev-
el. Frank Bunton wilI take over
the freshman Braves.
This year's team will consist of
, ten members. The Braves will
need ptayers to develop by assert-
ing themselves as rebounders.
The three sophomores who are
expected to. fulfill this role are
John Kitel Dan Kremchek and
Glenn Armitrage, a transfer from
Cincinnati Country Day.
In an effort to get prepared
for the 1981-82 campaign, the
Braves have tried to schedule
three scrimmages, but they have
been able to play just one. The
scrimmage against Aiken was can-

The seniors once again upheld
Indian Hill tradition by beating
the junior powderpuffers, 20-16,
Monday in front of a sleepy
crowd of 70.
The game was plagued by rain
and sloppy playing conditions,
which has also become a powder-
puff tradition. Each of the team's
massive squads came close to the
endzone but failed to score in the
first half.
The fans were treated to some
real entertainment at halftime.
The pep band gave an awe-inspir-
ing performance with their color-
ful marching, and the cheerleaders
joined the effort to make the per-
formance a success.
Both teams became more
aggressive in the second half. The
players made several tackles as the

d l e d due to a lack of players.
The scrimmage against Conner
was cancelled due to an electrical
problem in the Indian Hill gym.
The one successf~ltry at a
scrimmage was held Tuesday,
November 17 at McNicholas. The
Braves and Rockets played six
periods with the Rockets coming
out on top, winning three, losing
two and tying one.

play became a little bit more
chippy.
The seniors drew ?%st blood
early in the second half, but the
juniors took the lead on a touch-
down and a conversion, 8-6.
The seniors finally realized the
best way to the end zone was by
running the sweep. Two drives in
the fourth quarter ended on a
touchdown runs to the outside.
The scores for the seniors were by
Julie Budig, Sheila Chalmers and
Lisa Goldsmith.
The juniors scored again late
in the game when Angela Farley
scooted in and then added the
conversion. Time ran out on the
juniors' hopes when the seniors
killed the clock with two minutes
left.

IH to acquire cable t.v., possible studio
by John Christine
Warner Amex Cable Com-
munieations, Inc. will be connect-
ing cable television to the high
school media center sometime
around December 1.
According - to Mr. Earl Snapp,
--
-s IHHS public relations director,
the future installation is a result
of the franchise established in
1979 when the Indian Hill Village
signed a contract with Warner.
The franchise will cover the cost
of the cable.
A committee, which was set
up in September by the Board of
Education, is in the process of de-
ciding on the possibility of a cable
t.v. studio. The studio, Snapp
says, would enable students to
learn how to operate filming and
taping equipment and transmit
programs to other schools.
"Its potential is mind-boggling,"
Snapp says The eight-member
committee will decide upon
whether to have the studio or
not after the first of January.
According to Snapp, the stu-
dents would be able to film al-
most anything and send it any-
where via the "C-loop." The C-
loop is the cable which surrounds
the Indian Hill School District.
Through the cable, students will

National Honor Society to induct new members this morning
by Kitsa Tassian
National Honor Society con-
ducts its sixth annual induction of
juniors and seniors this morning
in the high school auditorium.
Students eligible for considera-
tion must have maintained a
cumulative grade point average of
3.5 or better for at least four con-
secutive semesters. After this re-
quirement is met, evaluation
forms are sent to all teachers who
have taught the prospective induc-
tees. They are evaluated in terms
of character, services completed,
and leadership qualities.
A committee consisting of de-
partment chairpersons, counsel-
ors, and the NHS adviser, Mrs.
Elizabeth Ackley, collaborate to
IN. school, Indian Hill, and Ken-
wood residents, and Country Day
School. The loop will eventually
be connected to all the schools in
Hamilton County that are served
by Warner Annex.
Warner Amex technicians film Mrs. Ackley's sixth period English class
for a feature on her to be shown on QUBE Channel 30 periodically in
the future.
Besides the basic cable chan-
nels, IH will also have four new
channels consisting of WCET pro-
grams. The shows, Snapp say,

discuss each student's evaluation
and recommendations. The
committee then dicides which
students to induct but withholds
the names of the new members up
until the ceremony Wednesday
morning. However, the commit-
tee does notify the parents of the
students who are to be inducted
so that they may attend the in-
duction ceremony.
The ceremony itself will be
presented to all sophomores, jun-
iors, and seniors in the auditor-
ium. With Mrs. Ackly as this
year's new NHS advisor, induc-
tion procedures will be slightly
different than in previous years.
This year, present NHS members

one reads the description of the

her out in the audience. To fur-
ther the suspense, the name of the
inductee is withheld until the
conclusion of the description.
Once recognized, the inductees
will receive a NHS pin and mem-
bership card. The card gives the
member the privilege of free
passage in the building during a

privilege which can be revoked if

falls below 3.5, as their grades are
checked quarterly to insure main-
tenance of academic excellence.

putside of the school.
Besides having the chance to
learn how to use the equipment,
students might also get the oppor-
tunity to work as an apprentice at
Warner Amex, Snapp said.
Part of the reason the board
committee was set up was to dis-
cuss the cost of the studio. War-
ner Amex has already agreed in
franchise that they would supply
some of the equipment, but the
cost that IHHS would pay has not
yet been disclosed.
Without the studio, programs
will be taped in the Media Center
as they are now. "It will be used
all day for taping programs for
various use in the classroom,"
Snapp said. If the plan for a stu-
dio is brought up the cable t.v.
would be moved to the studio.
I J i ~ t ithen
l the taping will be done
in the Media Center. Head librari-
an Miss Eloise Ralz expressed the
value of the system to IH and
said, "It will have a wealth of
material for us." She also said
that she was in favor of the studio
and noted the career possibilities
for those using the equipment.
Furthermore, one teacher will
b e elected as an honorary member
by present members.
After a brief reception in the
library for new members and their
parents, a lunch is given in their
honor. This year, the luncheon
will be held at Steak and Ale.
"It's a lot of work because the
kids can't help me after the selec-
tion has been made," stated Eliza-
beth Ackley about organizing the
ceremony. "I think it is a very
important assembly because it is
the only assembly during the en-
tire school year that time from
the school day is taken to recog-
nize and encourage academic
achievement," she added.

Winning the Eastern Hills
League championship is "first and
foremost" in Coach Dale
McKibben's mind right now. Just
how his basketball team will
accomplish that may be another
story.
Last year when the "Battlin'
Braves" captured the league
trophy, they had good size in
their forwards and plenty of
point-getters. This year, the team
has not been blessed with quite
the same talent.
Only two players will be
returning for varsity duty this
season. Dave Hancher and Terry
Healey, who both saw plenty of
duty last season, will have to fill
the team's leadership role as nine
new members round out the
roster.

During the season, Coach
Pfixrnan will be depending on the

McKibben is not banking on

Pees Counse ors refreat to
Mount Saint Joesph College
by Liza Mitchell
Forty-six students and tive
teachers left November 10 for the
College of Mount St. Joseph to
begin their peer counseling re-
treat.
Many of the participants had
no idea what their peer counseling
experience would be like. All
they had ever heard was "It will
be one of the greatest experiences
of your life. You will never for-
get it." And a great experience is
just what it turned out to be.
The thirty-one trainees learned
things that would stick with them
for the rest of their lives. They
learned to deal with their own
problems more easily and they
also learned to help their peers
deal with their problems. The
trainees practiced their listening
skills, and the methods of coun-
seling over their fortyeight hour
period.
Several speakers came and lec-
tured on topics such as death, di-
vorce, and sex. Mr. Robert

by J& Chieftain
Due to an influx of little gray
mice (with cute little dog-like
eyes) Chieftain has felt the pres-
sures of "mice paranoia."
First to fall from this dreaded
disease was editor Bob Kindel.
"Oh, Eeek - eek," he screamed.
At first, staffers thought this to
be one of Kindel's numerous, but
harmless, pranks. But, after fea-
tures editor Richard "Mo" Strad-
ling (he's the one who said it had
"cute little dog-like eyes") saw it,
of death and how to deal wth the
loss of someone close. Reverand
James Metzger spoke about
changes in the family such as di-
vorce and Ms. Besecker discussed
the topic of psycho-sexual devel-
opment.
Mr. Doug Hammond, first year
peer counseling sponsor, felt the
retreat went "pretty well."
"There was an obvious growth
among the students which is
great," he added.
"The Peer Counseling Pro-
gram has been a source of per-
sonal growth for me by giving me
the chance to define my personal
values and also to build my self-
esteem to a positive level," stated
peer counselor Sarah Leonard.
Wednesday, November 18, an
additional fifty students traveled
to the College of Mount St. Jo-
seph to begin their counseling
session. Two retreats were
needed due to the fact that the

"What are we going to do with

Senior John Ries was named a
finalist in the 1981 National
Council of Teachers of English
Achievement in Writing Contest
early in November. Ries com-
peted with 7000 other students
from high schools across the
country, and in American Schools
abroad in order to receive this
honor.
Ries and senior Rod Barr were
nominated last spring by Mrs.
Ackley to represent Indian Hill.
In order to be considered, both
submitted a sample of their best
writing and an impromptu essay.
These works were evaluated b y
state judging-teams of both high
school and college English tea-
chers.
When the final judgements
were made, approximately 850
finalists were selected. Of these
winners, it is rare to have more
than one from a single high
school. Ries suggested that this
could have been why both did not
win.
John Ries is one of ten con-
secutive winners from Indian Hill.
"This reflects. the fact that our

writing," he commented.

Since the beginning, the pow-
derpuff football game has always
been an occasion for high spirits
and intense rivalry. However,
many have remarked that this
year, "It went a bit too far."
According to one, powderpuff
football players vandalized app-
proximately twenty-six cars Mon-
The day's events that lead t o
the vandalism began with a break-
fast for the junior team at Lynn
Barton's house. As juniors were
leaving Barton's house, two cars
full of senior powderpuff players
arrived, uninvited. The seniors
then sprayed the juniors and their
cars with dishwashing liquid.
None of the powderpuffers ob-
jected strongly to this action,
though. " I thought it was fun,"
stated senior Leslie Devitt. But,
when the teams arrived in the
high school parking lot, severa
eggs were vollyed between juniors
and seniors, according to Leslie
Devitt. The junior team then

February, and by November, Barr
and Ries were worried that they
had broken the tradition. "I was
getting nervous that neither Rod
nor I had won, but I was extreme-

school and saw that envelope,"
Ries said.
The National Council of Tea-

the other hand, will hurt many.
Rush cuts another live album
by Pate Williams
My initial reaction when asked
to review the new live Rush al-
bum Exit Stage Left was mixed.
Could Rush keep up their above-
average musicianship on a live al-
bum? After all, to follow Moving
Pictures is not an easy task. After
hearing the album, though, my
doubts were ungrounded.
The double live album opens
with "Spirit of Radio," a
brightly flowing tune with
smooth tempo changes that have
become the trademark of the trio.
Geddy Lee, the group's lead vo-
calist, has a slow start in meshing
his unique voice with the intricate
background. He adequately re-
gains control, though, by the end
of second song, "Red Barchetta."
This melodic tune surprisingly
takes on a slower tempo than the
studio version, rather than the
normal up-tempo of most concert
recordings. However, slower
tempos seem to be the order of
the day on this live recording.
"Tom Sawyer," "Passage to
Bangkok," and "Y YZ," which
contains an inspiring percussion
solo by Neil Peart, are all per-
formed at a down tempo.
Throughout the album, Rush
does not cease to entertain the
listener with their select style of
music. These three individuals
blend to form a multidimentional
group. From the instrumentally
sound "YYZ," to the inspiring
vocals displayed in Closer to the
Heart their muscial prowess
assures the listener of their ex-
pertise.
If there is one element that
makes the album special, it would
have to be the lyrics. Neil Peart's
extensive knowledge of the Eng-
lish language helps to intensify
the strong themes present in the
majority of songs. Peart, the
composer of most of these songs,
rarely makes use of trite sayings,
but rather establishes his own
style of lyrics. The usual method
of coinciding the muscial phrase
with the lyrical phrase does not
usually appear throughout the al-
bum. Rush has no qualms about
running a lyrical phrase into a
second musical phrase likc free
verse poetry. This is a true mark
of their musical ability.
All in all, Rush has taken a
great many strides. From the try-
ing days of "Working Man," to
the present, with its stylish "Red
Barchetta," Exit Stage Left is a
pleasing new entry.
technique rarely found in Young's
songs - background sound effects.
These effects are found on the
"Southern Pacific" in the form of
a train whistle and can be later
heard in "shots" in the form of
machine-gun fire.
The second cut of the second
side, "Rapid Transit," is perhaps
the most unique of the album.
Although a bit harsh in the vocals,
with Young's voice being strained
in the upper octaves, it is amusing
to hear Young trill words like
"Rrrrrrrrapid transit ," "Mmmelt-
down ," and "Ccccccontainment"
to express his fear of nuclear
power. The pounding rhythm
adds to the excitement of the
piece. As a protest song, how-

by Richard Stradling
Indian Hill High School is for-
tunate to have a faculty compos-
ed of teachers who redly care
about what they are doing. A
prime example of such a teacher
is Rowley Elliston.
Mr. Elliston has been teach-
ing at IH for ten years, but his
teaching career began at the
Cincinnati Nature Center. As an
assistant director at the nature
center, Mr. Elliston instructed
both teachers and kids and found
he really enjoyed teaching.
During his career at IH, Mr.
Elliston has been involved in
many activities including peer
counseling. As a "faculty mem-
ber of peer counseling,'' Mr.
Elliston feels the program "pushes
the limits of my involvement and
gives me the opportunity to meet
and get to know students 1 might
not otherwise meet."
Besides peer counseling, Mr.
Elliston is the faculty advisor for
the ecology club. He assumed
this position because of his inter-
est in the club's recycling center a
number of years back. As the
center changed from recycling to
junk collection and the project
became a chore, the club trans-
formed itself into an "outing
club." "Now we're working on

Gilliam and Palins' intentions

Or did they plan on making a

they succeed at doing both.

Mr. Elliston's interest in eco-

in the outdoors and outdoor
activities. Skiing, rock climbing,
hiking, canoeing and camping all
rank high on his list of hobbies.

lish and Irish folk music and
sometimes WWEZ's brand of

that he doesn't dislike hard rock,

Montessori, a method of educa-
tion designed by an Italian edu-
cator in the early part of this
century. "Our seven-year-old son
is enrolled in a Montessori school
and is doing work above the aver-
age for kids his age," Mr. Elli-
ston said. The Montessori tech-
nique introduces all skills at once
in their simplest forms and goes
on from there, whereas standard
education has the student master
a few skills before moving on to
the next.
Many IH teachers are military
veterans and Mr. Elliston is no ex-
ception. In 1967, he was sent to
Vietnam to begin what he calls
"a very significant" time in his
life. "You grow up fast, but I
don't recommend it to anyone."
For a number of vears, Mr.
Elliston was the Varsity Braves
soccer coach, but quit to coach
his son's soccer team. After a few
good teams and an EHL cham-
pionship, he found he was no
longer enjoying it. This same
principle applies to everything MI.
Elliston does. "When I find I'm
only teaching for retirement ben-
efits, I'll quit and move on. When
you're just putting time in, it's
time for a change."

Napoleon (Ian Holm), Robin
Hood (John Cleese), Agamemnon
(Sean Connery) and finally with
the epitomes of good and evil
themselves, God (Ralph Richard-
son) and the Devil (David War-
ner).
Time Bandits is a rare and
unique commodity. The fact that
such talented dramatic actors as
Ralph Richardson, David Warner,
Ian Holm and Sean Connery
would appear in a Monty Python
movie was reason enough to see
it. But besides that, the film also
suceeds on a multiple of levels. It
is a good comedy, an exciting
action film, has wonderful special
effects, and the story is way
above average.
As in all films of this kind, of
course, you can expect some
problems. Some of the sketches
fall short of their comic potential,
especially the ones involving
Michael Palin and Shelly Duvall.
Palin is as good as he always has
been, but the situations them-
selves weren't funny enough. But
when you're dealing with a film
of this size, you can't expect
every sketch to be perfect.

3-D can't resurrect 'Comin' at Ya!'I
"Comin ' A t Ya!" rated R Chieftain rating: Bomb
by Todd Cox
Maybe the makers of the 3-D
movie Comin ' A t Ya! sacrificed
plot and good acting for mediocre
special effects. Perhaps that's
their excuse! Whatever the Tea-
son, Comin' A t Ya! has to be one
of the worst movies of the season
thus far. This terrible piece of
celluloid has all the looks of an
amateur film.
A virtual newcomer to the
film world, Tony Anthony was
the star and played a major role in
the production of the film. Gene
Quintano, another beginner,
acted, produced and wrote for the
movie. Such failure to properly
disseminate the production and
acting parts of this picture across
a greater number of people was a
major reason for its shortcomings.
The old west is the setting for
Comin ' A t Ya!. Anthony plays a
cowboy who is searching for his
wife (Victoria Abul). She was
kidnapped on their wedding day,
of all days, by a band of outlaws,
led by two brothers, who seem-
ingly occupy their time capturing
women for the white slave trade.
Our hero eventually catches up
with the criminals and manages to
rescue all of the women, leaving
one of the brothers tied up. In-
stead of going with the women,
he sets off after the other brother.
Unfortunately, he is captured in
the attempt.
While he is being tortured, the
newly freed young women are
being recaptured. Naturally, our
CHIEFTAIN
- avenger excapes, killing one of the
brothers in the process. The
other brother wants revenge and
holds our hero's wife hostage in
hopes of luring him into an am-
bush. This brings US to the final
scene of the movie (thank good-
ness), which occures in a nameless
ghost town. The ending is ob-
vious, and could have been pre-
sented easily without pointless
shootouts and an unexplained ex-
plosion.
About the only positive aspect
of Comin' A t Ya! can be found in
very few of its 3-D scenes. One
of these scenes involves our hero
during his escape. One of the out-
laws, an Indian, is trying to kill
him by tossing spears and slinging
burning arrows. This scene was
very well done, as the spears and
arrows seem to be hurling at the
viewer. This was the only scene
which justified the movie's title.
The advertised attraction in
this movie was supposedly its 3-D
effects. Scenes had to be shot in
slow-motion so that the picture
could be seen clearly, not blurred.
In order to achieve the 3-D effect,
each scene was shot at two
angles. At the theater, the movie
was shown through a special lense
which divides the picture into two
separate images, where both of
the images are put on the screen.
Without the 3-D glasses provided,
the picture looks blurry. The
glasses allow the viewer to see the
fflm as if there were just an image
.in 3-D.

Tom aims for musical career
by Pete Graham
Whereas most high school stu-
dents listen to music, have a
favorite group, and possibly may
play an instrument, few actually
plan to pursue a career related to
music. Tom Eggerding is one of
those few.
Tom is quite serious when it
ated on the subject. Since acquir-
ing his first Beatle's album in
1967 and starting piano and gui-
tar lessons at ages eight and thir-
teen, respectively, he has contin-
ued to develop his musical inclina-
tion.
Through his spiritual guru
Steve Beschankus, Tom has cul-
tivated a unique discipline in his
guitar playing. As a result of this
and many hours of practice a day,
he has become quite proficient at
both the electric and classical
guitars.
Much of Tom's extra time is
devoted to rehearsing with his
band (for which he plays lead gui-
tar), listening to a variety of
music, and giving guitar lessons.

Outdoors sho e s Elliston 's lifestyle ,,;:y;h:p~:y:
by Richard Stradling
Indian Hill High School is for-
tunate to have a faculty compos-
ed of teachers who redly care
about what they are doing. A
prime example of such a teacher
is Rowley Elliston.
Mr. Elliston has been teach-
ing at IH for ten years, but his
teaching career began at the
Cincinnati Nature Center. As an
assistant director at the nature
center, Mr. Elliston instructed
both teachers and kids and found
he really enjoyed teaching.
During his career at IH, Mr.
Elliston has been involved in
many activities including peer
counseling. As a "faculty mem-
ber of peer counseling,'' Mr.
Elliston feels the program "pushes
the limits of my involvement and
gives me the opportunity to meet
and get to know students 1 might
not otherwise meet."
Besides peer counseling, Mr.
Elliston is the faculty advisor for
the ecology club. He assumed
this position because of his inter-
est in the club's recycling center a
number of years back. As the
center changed from recycling to
junk collection and the project
became a chore, the club trans-
formed itself into an "outing
club." "Now we're working on

made by Terry Gilliam and
Michael Palin of the British
comedy group Monty Python.
Although the film is meant to
be a comedy, it also succeeds at
being an exciting adventure mov-
ie. One can only wonder what
Gilliam and Palins' intentions
were. Did they want to make a
hysterical romp through history?
Or did they plan on making a
science fiction film that could
rival some of today's best? Well it
really doesn't matter, because
they succeed at doing both.
The story begins as six dwarfs
come tumbling into the room of a
young English boy. The dwarfs
have stolen a map, which lists all
the holes in time, from the
Supreme Being. This map has led
them to the closet of the sleeping

Mr. Elliston's interest in eco-
logy stems from the joy he find
in the outdoors and outdoor
activities. Skiing, rock climbing,
hiking, canoeing and camping all
rank high on his list of hobbies.
"We go to New England every
year where my family owns an
island off of Maine," Mr. Elliston
lad. Before the boy knows what's

said. "But since my son came
along, our travelling has been cur-
tailed." The Ellistons live on a
rural eight acre lot at the entrance
to the Cincinnati Nature Center.
Mr. Elliston enjoys listening to
classical music on WGUC, Eng-
lish and Irish folk music and
sometimes WWEZ's brand of
music. He maintains, though,
that he doesn't dislike hard rock,
but "you can't listen to every-

Montessori, a method of educa-
tion designed by an Italian edu-
cator in the early part of this
century. "Our seven-year-old son
is enrolled in a Montessori school
and is doing work above the aver-
age for kids his age," Mr. Elli-
ston said. The Montessori tech-
nique introduces all skills at once
in their simplest forms and goes
on from there, whereas standard
education has the student master
a few skills before moving on to
the next.
Many IH teachers are military
veterans and Mr. Elliston is no ex-
ception. In 1967, he was sent to
Vietnam to begin what he calls
"a very significant" time in his
life. "You grow up fast, but I
don't recommend it to anyone."
For a number of vears, Mr.
Elliston was the Varsity Braves
soccer coach, but quit to coach
his son's soccer team. After a few
good teams and an EHL cham-
pionship, he found he was no
longer enjoying it. This same
principle applies to everything MI.
Elliston does. "When I find I'm
only teaching for retirement ben-
efits, I'll quit and move on. When
you're just putting time in, it's
time for a change."
ney they meet with the likes of
Napoleon (Ian Holm), Robin
Hood (John Cleese), Agamemnon
(Sean Connery) and finally with
the epitomes of good and evil
themselves, God (Ralph Richard-
son) and the Devil (David War-
ner).
Time Bandits is a rare and
unique commodity. The fact that
such talented dramatic actors as
Ralph Richardson, David Warner,
Ian Holm and Sean Connery
would appear in a Monty Python
movie was reason enough to see
it. But besides that, the film also
suceeds on a multiple of levels. It
is a good comedy, an exciting
action film, has wonderful special
effects, and the story is way
above average.
As in all films of this kind, of
course, you can expect some
problems. Some of the sketches
fall short of their comic potential,
especially the ones involving
Michael Palin and Shelly Duvall.
Palin is as good as he always has
been, but the situations them-
selves weren't funny enough. But
when you're dealing with a film
of this size, you can't expect
every sketch to be perfect.

movie review
3-D can't resurrect 'Comin' at Ya!'I
"Comin ' A t Ya!" rated R Chieftain rating: Bomb
by Todd Cox
Maybe the makers of the 3-D
movie Comin ' A t Ya! sacrificed
plot and good acting for mediocre
special effects. Perhaps that's
their excuse! Whatever the Tea-
son, Comin' A t Ya! has to be one
of the worst movies of the season
thus far. This terrible piece of
celluloid has all the looks of an
amateur film.
A virtual newcomer to the
film world, Tony Anthony was
the star and played a major role in
the production of the film. Gene
Quintano, another beginner,
acted, produced and wrote for the
movie. Such failure to properly
disseminate the production and
acting parts of this picture across
a greater number of people was a
major reason for its shortcomings.
The old west is the setting for
Comin ' A t Ya!. Anthony plays a
cowboy who is searching for his
wife (Victoria Abul). She was
kidnapped on their wedding day,
of all days, by a band of outlaws,
led by two brothers, who seem-
ingly occupy their time capturing
women for the white slave trade.
Our hero eventually catches up
with the criminals and manages to
rescue all of the women, leaving
one of the brothers tied up. In-
stead of going with the women,
he sets off after the other brother.
Unfortunately, he is captured in
the attempt.
While he is being tortured, the
newly freed young women are
being recaptured. Naturally, our
CHIEFTAIN
- avenger excapes, killing one of the
brothers in the process. The
other brother wants revenge and
holds our hero's wife hostage in
hopes of luring him into an am-
bush. This brings US to the final
scene of the movie (thank good-
ness), which occures in a nameless
ghost town. The ending is ob-
vious, and could have been pre-
sented easily without pointless
shootouts and an unexplained ex-
plosion.
About the only positive aspect
of Comin' A t Ya! can be found in
very few of its 3-D scenes. One
of these scenes involves our hero
during his escape. One of the out-
laws, an Indian, is trying to kill
him by tossing spears and slinging
burning arrows. This scene was
very well done, as the spears and
arrows seem to be hurling at the
viewer. This was the only scene
which justified the movie's title.
The advertised attraction in
this movie was supposedly its 3-D
effects. Scenes had to be shot in
slow-motion so that the picture
could be seen clearly, not blurred.
In order to achieve the 3-D effect,
each scene was shot at two
angles. At the theater, the movie
was shown through a special lense
which divides the picture into two
separate images, where both of
the images are put on the screen.
Without the 3-D glasses provided,
the picture looks blurry. The
glasses allow the viewer to see the
fflm as if there were just an image
.in 3-D.

Rush cuts another live album
by Pate Williams
My initial reaction when asked
to review the new live Rush al-
bum Exit Stage Left was mixed.
Could Rush keep up their above-
average musicianship on a live al-
bum? After all, to follow Moving
Pictures is not an easy task. After
hearing the album, though, my
doubts were ungrounded.
The double live album opens
with "Spirit of Radio," a
brightly flowing tune with
smooth tempo changes that have
become the trademark of the trio.
Geddy Lee, the group's lead vo-
calist, has a slow start in meshing
his unique voice with the intricate
background. He adequately re-
gains control, though, by the end
of second song, "Red Barchetta."
This melodic tune surprisingly
takes on a slower tempo than the
studio version, rather than the
normal up-tempo of most concert
recordings. However, slower
tempos seem to be the order of
the day on this live recording.
"Tom Sawyer," "Passage to
Bangkok," and "Y YZ," which
contains an inspiring percussion
solo by Neil Peart, are all per-
formed at a down tempo.
Throughout the album, Rush
does not cease to entertain the
listener with their select style of
music. These three individuals
blend to form a multidimentional
group. From the instrumentally
sound "YYZ," to the inspiring
vocals displayed in Closer to the
Heart their muscial prowess
assures the listener of their ex-
pertise.
If there is one element that
makes the album special, it would
have to be the lyrics. Neil Peart's
extensive knowledge of the Eng-
lish language helps to intensify
the strong themes present in the
majority of songs. Peart, the
composer of most of these songs,
rarely makes use of trite sayings,
but rather establishes his own
style of lyrics. The usual method
of coinciding the muscial phrase
with the lyrical phrase does not
usually appear throughout the al-
bum. Rush has no qualms about
running a lyrical phrase into a
second musical phrase likc free
verse poetry. This is a true mark
of their musical ability.
All in all, Rush has taken a
great many strides. From the try-
ing days of "Working Man," to
the present, with its stylish "Red
Barchetta," Exit Stage Left is a
pleasing new entry.
technique rarely found in Young's
songs - background sound effects.
These effects are found on the
"Southern Pacific" in the form of
a train whistle and can be later
heard in "shots" in the form of
machine-gun fire.
The second cut of the second
side, "Rapid Transit," is perhaps
the most unique of the album.
Although a bit harsh in the vocals,
with Young's voice being strained
in the upper octaves, it is amusing
to hear Young trill words like
"Rrrrrrrrapid transit ," "Mmmelt-
down ," and "Ccccccontainment"
to express his fear of nuclear
power. The pounding rhythm
adds to the excitement of the
piece. As a protest song, how-

Winning the Eastern Hills
League championship is "first and
foremost" in Coach Dale
McKibben's mind right now. Just
how his basketball team will
accomplish that may be another
story.
Last year when the "Battlin'
Braves" captured the league
trophy, they had good size in
their forwards and plenty of
point-getters. This year, the team
has not been blessed with quite
the same talent.
Only two players will be
returning for varsity duty this
season. Dave Hancher and Terry
Healey, who both saw plenty of
duty last season, will have to fill
the team's leadership role as nine
new members round out the
roster.

During the season, Coach
Pfixrnan will be depending on the
seniors for leadership. "The loss
of Melissa Pope and Chris Cuci-

left we lost 60% of our scoring,"
Pfuman stated.

McKibben said. "I don't know

McKibben is not banking on
tradition alone. He says, "I never

tradition, Braves' fans will see a
new twist in the team's play.
"We've altered our style

FOOTBALL
Indian Hill's worst varsity
football season came to an end
three weeks ago with a disap-
pointing 35-6 loss to Anderson.
On a night of freezing temper-
atures at Indian Hill, the Braves
could not get their offense un-
corked. The loss dropped the
Braves to 1-9 overall and 0-7 in
the Eastern Hills League.
Anderson did all its scoring in
the fust quarter, and rolled up
two more touchdowns in second.
The Braves finally broke up the
shutout when Greg McDaniel

Pees Counse ors refreat to
Mount Saint Joesph College
by Liza Mitchell
Forty-six students and tive
teachers left November 10 for the
College of Mount St. Joseph to
begin their peer counseling re-
treat.
Many of the participants had
no idea what their peer counseling
experience would be like. All
they had ever heard was "It will
be one of the greatest experiences
of your life. You will never for-
get it." And a great experience is
just what it turned out to be.
The thirty-one trainees learned
things that would stick with them
for the rest of their lives. They
learned to deal with their own
problems more easily and they
also learned to help their peers
deal with their problems. The
trainees practiced their listening
skills, and the methods of coun-
seling over their fortyeight hour
period.
Several speakers came and lec-
tured on topics such as death, di-
vorce, and sex. Mr. Robert

'Mice paranoia' hits Chieftain
by J& Chieftain
Due to an influx of little gray
mice (with cute little dog-like
eyes) Chieftain has felt the pres-
sures of "mice paranoia."
First to fall from this dreaded
disease was editor Bob Kindel.
"Oh, Eeek - eek," he screamed.
At first, staffers thought this to
be one of Kindel's numerous, but
harmless, pranks. But, after fea-
tures editor Richard "Mo" Strad-
ling (he's the one who said it had
"cute little dog-like eyes") saw it,
of death and how to deal wth the
loss of someone close. Reverand
James Metzger spoke about
changes in the family such as di-
vorce and Ms. Besecker discussed
the topic of psycho-sexual devel-
opment.
Mr. Doug Hammond, first year
peer counseling sponsor, felt the
retreat went "pretty well."
"There was an obvious growth
among the students which is
great," he added.
"The Peer Counseling Pro-
gram has been a source of per-
sonal growth for me by giving me
the chance to define my personal
values and also to build my self-
esteem to a positive level," stated
peer counselor Sarah Leonard.
Wednesday, November 18, an
additional fifty students traveled
to the College of Mount St. Jo-
seph to begin their counseling
session. Two retreats were

Senior John Ries was named a
finalist in the 1981 National
Council of Teachers of English
Achievement in Writing Contest
early in November. Ries com-
peted with 7000 other students
from high schools across the
country, and in American Schools
abroad in order to receive this
honor.
Ries and senior Rod Barr were
nominated last spring by Mrs.
Ackley to represent Indian Hill.
In order to be considered, both
submitted a sample of their best
writing and an impromptu essay.
These works were evaluated b y
state judging-teams of both high
school and college English tea-
chers.
When the final judgements
were made, approximately 850
finalists were selected. Of these
winners, it is rare to have more
than one from a single high
school. Ries suggested that this
could have been why both did not
win.
John Ries is one of ten con-

Since the beginning, the pow-
derpuff football game has always
been an occasion for high spirits
and intense rivalry. However,
many have remarked that this
year, "It went a bit too far."
According to one, powderpuff
football players vandalized app-
proximately twenty-six cars Mon-
The day's events that lead t o
the vandalism began with a break-
fast for the junior team at Lynn
Barton's house. As juniors were
leaving Barton's house, two cars
full of senior powderpuff players
arrived, uninvited. The seniors
then sprayed the juniors and their
cars with dishwashing liquid.
None of the powderpuffers ob-
jected strongly to this action,
though. " I thought it was fun,"
stated senior Leslie Devitt. But,
when the teams arrived in the
high school parking lot, severa
eggs were vollyed between juniors
and seniors, according to Leslie
Devitt. The junior team then
The essays were submitted in
February, and by November, Barr
and Ries were worried that they
had broken the tradition. "I was
getting nervous that neither Rod

Ries said.
The National Council of Tea-

Arnold's JV Braves
by Mike BetragIia
Coach Jim Arnold is hoping to
have as good of a record as last
year's 13-7 JV basketball squad.
Arnold will be in a new position
with the JV team. Coach Bob
West retired from that post at the
end of last season, so Arnold
moved up from the freshman lev-
el. Frank Bunton wilI take over
the freshman Braves.
This year's team will consist of
, ten members. The Braves will
need ptayers to develop by assert-
ing themselves as rebounders.
The three sophomores who are
expected to. fulfill this role are
John Kitel Dan Kremchek and
Glenn Armitrage, a transfer from
Cincinnati Country Day.
In an effort to get prepared
for the 1981-82 campaign, the
Braves have tried to schedule
three scrimmages, but they have
been able to play just one. The
scrimmage against Aiken was can-

The seniors once again upheld
Indian Hill tradition by beating
the junior powderpuffers, 20-16,
Monday in front of a sleepy
crowd of 70.
The game was plagued by rain
and sloppy playing conditions,
which has also become a powder-
puff tradition. Each of the team's
massive squads came close to the
endzone but failed to score in the
first half.
The fans were treated to some
real entertainment at halftime.
The pep band gave an awe-inspir-
ing performance with their color-
ful marching, and the cheerleaders
joined the effort to make the per-
formance a success.
Both teams became more
aggressive in the second half. The

d l e d due to a lack of players.
The scrimmage against Conner
was cancelled due to an electrical
problem in the Indian Hill gym.
The one successf~ltry at a
scrimmage was held Tuesday,
November 17 at McNicholas. The
Braves and Rockets played six
periods with the Rockets coming
out on top, winning three, losing
two and tying one.

play became a little bit more
chippy.
The seniors drew ?%st blood
early in the second half, but the
juniors took the lead on a touch-
down and a conversion, 8-6.
The seniors finally realized the
best way to the end zone was by
running the sweep. Two drives in
the fourth quarter ended on a
touchdown runs to the outside.
The scores for the seniors were by
Julie Budig, Sheila Chalmers and
Lisa Goldsmith.
The juniors scored again late
in the game when Angela Farley
scooted in and then added the
conversion. Time ran out on the
juniors' hopes when the seniors
killed the clock with two minutes
left.

IH to acquire cable t.v., possible studio
by John Christine
Warner Amex Cable Com-
munieations, Inc. will be connect-
ing cable television to the high
school media center sometime
around December 1.
According - to Mr. Earl Snapp,
--
-s IHHS public relations director,
the future installation is a result
of the franchise established in
1979 when the Indian Hill Village
signed a contract with Warner.
The franchise will cover the cost
of the cable.
A committee, which was set
up in September by the Board of
Education, is in the process of de-
ciding on the possibility of a cable
t.v. studio. The studio, Snapp
says, would enable students to
learn how to operate filming and
taping equipment and transmit
programs to other schools.
"Its potential is mind-boggling,"
Snapp says The eight-member
committee will decide upon
whether to have the studio or
not after the first of January.
According to Snapp, the stu-
dents would be able to film al-
most anything and send it any-
where via the "C-loop." The C-
loop is the cable which surrounds
the Indian Hill School District.
Through the cable, students will

National Honor Society to induct new members this morning
by Kitsa Tassian
National Honor Society con-
ducts its sixth annual induction of
juniors and seniors this morning
in the high school auditorium.
Students eligible for considera-
tion must have maintained a
cumulative grade point average of
3.5 or better for at least four con-
secutive semesters. After this re-
quirement is met, evaluation
forms are sent to all teachers who
have taught the prospective induc-
tees. They are evaluated in terms
of character, services completed,
and leadership qualities.
A committee consisting of de-
partment chairpersons, counsel-
ors, and the NHS adviser, Mrs.
Elizabeth Ackley, collaborate to
IN. school, Indian Hill, and Ken-
wood residents, and Country Day
School. The loop will eventually
be connected to all the schools in
Hamilton County that are served
by Warner Annex.
Warner Amex technicians film Mrs. Ackley's sixth period English class
for a feature on her to be shown on QUBE Channel 30 periodically in
the future.
Besides the basic cable chan-
nels, IH will also have four new
channels consisting of WCET pro-
grams. The shows, Snapp say,
"will be expanded into all areas" ics hall. With the studio, Snapp
and will involve all classes. He
discuss each student's evaluation
and recommendations. The
committee then dicides which
students to induct but withholds
the names of the new members up
until the ceremony Wednesday
morning. However, the commit-
tee does notify the parents of the
students who are to be inducted
so that they may attend the in-
duction ceremony.
The ceremony itself will be
presented to all sophomores, jun-
iors, and seniors in the auditor-
ium. With Mrs. Ackly as this
year's new NHS advisor, induc-
tion procedures will be slightly
different than in previous years.
This year, present NHS members

troduce the new members. While
one reads the description of the
inductee, the other seeks him or
her out in the audience. To fur-
ther the suspense, the name of the
inductee is withheld until the
conclusion of the description.
Once recognized, the inductees
will receive a NHS pin and mem-
bership card. The card gives the
member the privilege of free
passage in the building during a
study hall. This, however, is a
privilege which can be revoked if
a member's grade point average
falls below 3.5, as their grades are
checked quarterly to insure main-
tenance of academic excellence.

portant events and meetings ' at

film sporh events or .any event
putside of the school.
Besides having the chance to
learn how to use the equipment,
students might also get the oppor-
tunity to work as an apprentice at
Warner Amex, Snapp said.
Part of the reason the board
committee was set up was to dis-
cuss the cost of the studio. War-
ner Amex has already agreed in
franchise that they would supply
some of the equipment, but the
cost that IHHS would pay has not
yet been disclosed.
Without the studio, programs
will be taped in the Media Center
as they are now. "It will be used
all day for taping programs for
various use in the classroom,"
Snapp said. If the plan for a stu-
dio is brought up the cable t.v.
would be moved to the studio.
I J i ~ t ithen
l the taping will be done
in the Media Center. Head librari-
an Miss Eloise Ralz expressed the
value of the system to IH and
said, "It will have a wealth of
material for us." She also said
that she was in favor of the studio
and noted the career possibilities
for those using the equipment.
Furthermore, one teacher will
b e elected as an honorary member
by present members.
After a brief reception in the
library for new members and their
parents, a lunch is given in their
honor. This year, the luncheon
will be held at Steak and Ale.
"It's a lot of work because the
kids can't help me after the selec-
tion has been made," stated Eliza-
beth Ackley about organizing the
ceremony. "I think it is a very
important assembly because it is
the only assembly during the en-
tire school year that time from
the school day is taken to recog-
nize and encourage academic
achievement," she added.
