placing them In a three \\a\; tie
by Chris Kempczinski
The past few weeks have been
filled with optimistic predictions
about a seemingly resurgent
Braves offense. With fourteen
goals in two games, it appeared
that the scoring woes of the boys
soccer team were just a memory.
However, those concerns re-
surfaced again last night in a
critical game against Milford.
Ranked number seven in the city,
wthis game was viewed as IH's fist
serious chance to break into the
citywide rankings.
The Eagles struck first with
about twenty minutes left in
the first half on a head ball which
looped over onrushing goalie Ian
Meyzr.
IH attempted numerous of-
fensive attacks which were con-
tinually repulsed. Said Coach
Jim Vockell "We (didn't) ... work
the ball out to the wings," which
provided the Braves with few ser-
ious scoring opportunities.
In the second half Milford
struck again on a corner kick
which was nudged into the goal
by an Eagle headball. Aside from
pushing the score to 2-0. this

The Birdie Braves are once

to Bethel-Tate by a mere stroke
last Monday, September 29, they
bounced back the following Wed-
nesday to tie them for the
district championships with a to-

for the Braves, they lost on the
first playoff hole by scoring a sole

Leading the Braves was run-

Field Hockey Sauaws crush Seven Hills 6-0

by Amy Burroughs
The girls valsity field hockey
team is nearing the end of their
season and it has been a season
full of many surprises, both plea-
sant and unpleasant.
One of their tougher games of
the season was played on Tuesday
against Fairmont, a Dayton
school that is very strong in field
hockey. Last time, Fairmont
blew the Squaws away, but this
time the girls were ready and they
put up a fight to hold this mighty
team to a win of only 4-0. Part
of the win can be credited to
sophomore goalie Emily Mayo,
who had many difficult saves.
There is a possibility of the
Squaws meeting this team in the
state tournament.
Last week, the girls battled
Seven Hills for the third time to
come out with their most exciting
game of the season so far. The

On a more optin~isticnote, the
Braves romped past CAPE in a
league match on Tuesday. With
goals from Reagan Bransom (2),
Trey Isgrig, Bruce Johnson, and
Charlie Gall the team cruised to
a 5-0 victory. The shutout was
also IH's scventh of the year,
was able to maintain concen-
tration throughout the round.
Thornton credits his superb round
to excellent putting and his
dbility to get up and down for
par. When asked his predictions
for the team's future, Thornton
says, "I think we have a real
good chance of going to state."
Also playing well for the
Braves at districts was Matt
Sheakley with a 76 and Mark
. Higgins and Chris Kropp who
shot an 83 and 86, respectively.
Adding to their accomplish-
ments is the title of Cincinnati
Hills League champions which
they earned last Monday for the
third consecutive year. Scoring a
343, the Braves defeated second
the other team members, the
Lady Braves were unable to
enter as a team. Rowe was medal-
ist in this five team tournament
by shooting a 3-over-par 40.
Squaws crushed the opponent
with their good hockey skills and
their dominant spirit to finish the
game off with a score of 6-0.
Senior Sarah Wilson was the lead
scorer with three ,goals and seniors
Michelle Harmon, Molly Higgins,
and Emily Ruff also contributed
goals. Hamm said, "the girls
really wanted the game and they
deserved it. Everyone played fan-
tastic, gave one hundred percent,
and played as a team."
After traveling up to Dayton
last week in the midst of a down-
pour, the Squaws were defeated
by Oakwood, a team they had
previously tied. The fields were
muddy, but "Oakwood outhus-
tled us," commented Coach
Hamm. The score was 1-0 in
favor of the squaws at half time,
thanks to a goal made by Wilson,
but the team let down their guard

Against a typically poor
Deer Park squad, IH romped to
another shutout while scoring
nine goals against the shell-
shocked Wildcats. But the
score is deceptive in that IH

Rolf Schorr scored an $6 follow-
ed by Higgins' 88 to secure the
victory. Sheakley was also
named to the CHL All League
team while Thornton was
named Honorable Mention.
Today, the Braves are comp-
eting at Weatherwax Golf Club

tournament. West states that no
matter what happens today, he
will be pleased. "This year's team

one's expectations."

Probably the most upsetting
games of the season have been the
team's two losses to Summit
Country Day. They suffered their
second loss last week with a score
of 1-0 and signifigantly diminish-
ed their chances at the league
title.
As they near' the end of the
season, there are many challenges
ahead for the girls varsity field

record of 3-8-4 is not a sign of
power, they intend to really show
their stuff when the state tour-

The team's most recent vic-

favored this year, Indian Hill had
not beaten the Wildcats since

The game began with a defen-
sive struggle, as neither team was
able to score in the first three
quarters. Deer Park was the first
to break the lack-up, kicking a
field goal midway through the
fourth quarter.
The Braves received the en-
suing kickoff and moved the ball
well, gaining several first downs
on the running of Steve Slazyk
and John Darre, who was in for

Juniors announce 'new and exciting' plans
by Jamie Winget
The theme for this year's
Fall Homecoming will be fairy
tales. To celebrate this event, the
Class of '88 has proposed many
activities.
Every day of Homecoming
Week will be given a theme. Mon-
day the 13th will be hat and
glasses day, Wednesday will be red
and white day, and Thursday will
be pajama day. Friday is a
teacher in-service day, and plans
for Tuesday are still tentative.
The annual bonfire and effigy
contest will be held Thursday
night. This year though, a new
twist has been added. The movie
Weird Science will be shown
on the football field immediately
afterwards for anyone interested.
It will be a "sit-in" type movie
and the movie will be projected
onto a large sheetlscreen.
The junior class also has many
new ideas for this year's Prom
ceremony. The dinner and dance
this year will be held at the Clari-
on Hotel downtown. Plans for a
'Monte-Carlo' cruise after Prom
are in progress. The plan involves
the renting of a party riverboat,
on which students would play
faculty-run casino games with
play money. There will also be a

Fitton hopeful for summit
by Jay Fitton
Last week President Reagan
was dealt what many believe was
the biggest defeat of his President-
ial term: his veto of the South
African sanctions bill was over-
ridden overwhelmingly in not
only the House of Representatives
but also, the Republicancon-
trolled Senate. This shouldn't
have come as a surprise to any-
one, least of all President Reagan,
as he certainly deserved it.
Now, I am certainly not saying
that I agree with sanctions, but I
do think that something should
be done to put a stop to
in South Africa. The Reagan ad-
ministration's policy of "con-
structive engagement" is a
cop-out. It amounts to sitting by
idly while the situation grows

worse and worse. This is why
many Senators, especially Repub-
licans, voted for sanctions. They
don't agree with sanctions, but it
was their way of sending a
message to the President to do
something.
And Presidmt Reagan can do
something. Of course, now that
the sanctions have been passed,
it's probably too late, but several
months ago he could have
travelled to South Africa to per-
sonally meet with President
Botha. He could have informed
Botha of our (America's) feelings
about apartheid, and threatened
to take harsh action if steps
weren't taken soon. This is what
President Reagan should have
done, but he didn't. Now he is
beginning to pay the price. Let's

This article is addressed to all
the students of Indian Hill High
School, but especially to you
seniors who at this tirne are
facing the important task of de-
ciding where to further your
education and/or spend the next
four-odd years of your life. At
this very moment, while I sit here
on the floor of my dorm room
begging my roommates for some
input on this article, many of you
are probably in a panic about how
to answer the essay questions on
your college applications and
maybe even hurrying to make the
application deadlines. While these
decisions are ones I can't help you
with, I can only hope that here I
will give you a little insight into
what college life is all about and
how it will differ from life at
IHHS.
When I first arrived at Miami
University after the 45-minute
drive from my home to Oxford, I
suddenly felt like I was a world
away. I was surrounded by huge
red brick buildings - all of which
looked exactly the same - and
fifteen thousand people, none of
whom I recognized. Like all
college freshmen, the first person
I encountered was my roommate.

way.

This article is addressed to all
the students of Indian Hill High
School, but especially to you
seniors who at this tirne are
facing the important task of de-
ciding where to further your
education and/or spend the next
four-odd years of your life. At
this very moment, while I sit here
on the floor of my dorm room
begging my roommates for some
input on this article, many of you
are probably in a panic about how
to answer the essay questions on
your college applications and
maybe even hurrying to make the
application deadlines. While these
decisions are ones I can't help you
with, I can only hope that here I
will give you a little insight into
what college life is all about and
how it will differ from life at
IHHS.
When I first arrived at Miami
University after the 45-minute
drive from my home to Oxford, I
suddenly felt like I was a world
away. I was surrounded by huge
red brick buildings - all of which
looked exactly the same - and
fifteen thousand people, none of
whom I recognized. Like all
college freshmen, the first person
I encountered was my roommate.

way.

Fitton hopeful for summit
by Jay Fitton
Last week President Reagan
was dealt what many believe was
the biggest defeat of his President-
ial term: his veto of the South
African sanctions bill was over-
ridden overwhelmingly in not
only the House of Representatives
but also, the Republicancon-
trolled Senate. This shouldn't
have come as a surprise to any-
one, least of all President Reagan,
as he certainly deserved it.
Now, I am certainly not saying
that I agree with sanctions, but I
do think that something should
be done to put a stop to
in South Africa. The Reagan ad-
ministration's policy of "con-
structive engagement" is a
cop-out. It amounts to sitting by

many Senators, especially Repub-
licans, voted for sanctions. They
don't agree with sanctions, but it
was their way of sending a
message to the President to do
something.
And Presidmt Reagan can do
something. Of course, now that
the sanctions have been passed,
it's probably too late, but several
months ago he could have
travelled to South Africa to per-
sonally meet with President
Botha. He could have informed
Botha of our (America's) feelings
about apartheid, and threatened
to take harsh action if steps
weren't taken soon. This is what
President Reagan should have
done, but he didn't. Now he is
beginning to pay the price. Let's

The Braves football team faces
Loveland tonight in a game that
could determine the team's final
standing in the league.
Loveland and Indian Hill
each have only one loss in league
play so far, and a second loss
would knock either team from
contention.
The Braves enter the game
with a 4-2 record overall and a
3-1 mark in the league.
Braves defeat Deer Park
The team's most recent vic-
tory was a 7-3 decision over Deer
park last week. Although heavily
favored this year, Indian Hill had
not beaten the Wildcats since
1979.
The game began with a defen-
sive struggle, as neither team was
able to score in the first three
quarters. Deer Park was the first
to break the lack-up, kicking a
field goal midway through the
fourth quarter.
The Braves received the en-
suing kickoff and moved the ball
well, gaining several first downs
on the running of Steve Slazyk
and John Darre, who was in for
the injured Todd Sumerel. The

Juniors announce 'new and exciting' plans
by Jamie Winget
The theme for this year's
Fall Homecoming will be fairy
tales. To celebrate this event, the
Class of '88 has proposed many
activities.
Every day of Homecoming
Week will be given a theme. Mon-
day the 13th will be hat and
glasses day, Wednesday will be red
and white day, and Thursday will
be pajama day. Friday is a
teacher in-service day, and plans
for Tuesday are still tentative.
The annual bonfire and effigy
contest will be held Thursday
night. This year though, a new
twist has been added. The movie
Weird Science will be shown
on the football field immediately
afterwards for anyone interested.
It will be a "sit-in" type movie
and the movie will be projected
onto a large sheetlscreen.
The junior class also has many
new ideas for this year's Prom
ceremony. The dinner and dance
this year will be held at the Clari-
on Hotel downtown. Plans for a
'Monte-Carlo' cruise after Prom
are in progress. The plan involves
the renting of a party riverboat,
on which students would play
faculty-run casino games with
play money. There will also be a
live band and dance floor on the

The past few weeks have been
filled with optimistic predictions
about a seemingly resurgent
Braves offense. With fourteen
goals in two games, it appeared
that the scoring woes of the boys
soccer team were just a memory.
However, those concerns re-
surfaced again last night in a
critical game against Milford.
Ranked number seven in the city,
wthis game was viewed as IH's fist
serious chance to break into the
citywide rankings.
The Eagles struck first with
about twenty minutes left in
the first half on a head ball which
looped over onrushing goalie Ian
Meyzr.
IH attempted numerous of-
fensive attacks which were con-
tinually repulsed. Said Coach
Jim Vockell "We (didn't) ... work
the ball out to the wings," which
provided the Braves with few ser-
ious scoring opportunities.
In the second half Milford
struck again on a corner kick
which was nudged into the goal
by an Eagle headball. Aside from
pushing the score to 2-0. this

The Birdie Braves are once

to Bethel-Tate by a mere stroke
last Monday, September 29, they
bounced back the following Wed-

by Amy Burroughs
The girls valsity field hockey
team is nearing the end of their
season and it has been a season
full of many surprises, both plea-
sant and unpleasant.
One of their tougher games of
the season was played on Tuesday
against Fairmont, a Dayton
school that is very strong in field
hockey. Last time, Fairmont
blew the Squaws away, but this
time the girls were ready and they
put up a fight to hold this mighty
team to a win of only 4-0. Part
of the win can be credited to
sophomore goalie Emily Mayo,
who had many difficult saves.
There is a possibility of the
Squaws meeting this team in the
state tournament.
Last week, the girls battled
Seven Hills for the third time to
come out with their most exciting
game of the season so far. The
by sealing the 2-0 loss.
On a more optin~isticnote, the
Braves romped past CAPE in a
league match on Tuesday. With
goals from Reagan Bransom (2),
Trey Isgrig, Bruce Johnson, and
Charlie Gall the team cruised to
a 5-0 victory. The shutout was
also IH's scventh of the year,
was able to maintain concen-
tration throughout the round.
Thornton credits his superb round
to excellent putting and his
dbility to get up and down for
par. When asked his predictions
for the team's future, Thornton
says, "I think we have a real
good chance of going to state."
Also playing well for the
Braves at districts was Matt
Sheakley with a 76 and Mark
. Higgins and Chris Kropp who
shot an 83 and 86, respectively.
Adding to their accomplish-
ments is the title of Cincinnati
Hills League champions which
they earned last Monday for the
third consecutive year. Scoring a
343, the Braves defeated second
the other team members, the
Lady Braves were unable to
enter as a team. Rowe was medal-
ist in this five team tournament
by shooting a 3-over-par 40.
Squaws crushed the opponent
with their good hockey skills and
their dominant spirit to finish the
game off with a score of 6-0.
Senior Sarah Wilson was the lead
scorer with three ,goals and seniors
Michelle Harmon, Molly Higgins,
and Emily Ruff also contributed
goals. Hamm said, "the girls
really wanted the game and they
deserved it. Everyone played fan-
tastic, gave one hundred percent,
and played as a team."
After traveling up to Dayton
last week in the midst of a down-
pour, the Squaws were defeated
by Oakwood, a team they had
previously tied. The fields were
muddy, but "Oakwood outhus-
tled us," commented Coach
Hamm. The score was 1-0 in
favor of the squaws at half time,
thanks to a goal made by Wilson,
but the team let down their guard

Against a typically poor
Deer Park squad, IH romped to
another shutout while scoring
nine goals against the shell-
shocked Wildcats. But the
score is deceptive in that IH

and Zoveland and CAPE by seven
strokes. Sheakley led the Braves
with an 83, while Kropp and
Rolf Schorr scored an $6 follow-
ed by Higgins' 88 to secure the
victory. Sheakley was also
named to the CHL All League
team while Thornton was
named Honorable Mention.
Today, the Braves are comp-
eting at Weatherwax Golf Club
in Middleton in the regional
tournament. West states that no
matter what happens today, he
will be pleased. "This year's team
has performed far beyond any-
one's expectations."

2-1.
Probably the most upsetting
games of the season have been the
team's two losses to Summit
Country Day. They suffered their
second loss last week with a score
of 1-0 and signifigantly diminish-
ed their chances at the league
title.
As they near' the end of the
season, there are many challenges
ahead for the girls varsity field
hockey team. Although their
record of 3-8-4 is not a sign of
power, they intend to really show
their stuff when the state tour-
nament starts next Friday. On
October 17th, the squaws will
play the winner of the Talawanda-
Faimont game, which will pro-
bably be their most exciting game
of the season.
