Braves to host Mariemont in Homecoming
by Kevin Walzer
The football team returns
home tonight to square off
against Mariemont in IH's annual
Homecoming game.
Head coach Mike Heizman
makes no secret of the fact that
Mariemont will prove a formid-
able opponent for the 2-4 Braves.
"They have a very strong de-
fense," he said. "Mariemont
gives up only about 35 yards a
game. We'll have to be sharp
offensively to win."
The 6-0 Warriors are tied
for first place in the EHL with a
3-0 mark, shared by Sycamore.
Mariemont's defense has landed
them in the top twenty in the
Ohio A poll.
When asked about Mar-
iemont's lofty status, Heizman
said, "That sounds about right to
me. I'd believe it. Mariernont has
been a very good team this year."

Squaws lose in tournaments
by Kevin Walzer
The varsity volleyball team
lost in the sccond round of the
Mount Healthy Invitational two
weeks ago.
"We were playing a 9:00 game
against Lernon-Monroe," said jun-
ior Kiln Ryan, "and we won real-
ly easily (by a 15-6, 15-9 score).
We were so psyched!"
Thc Squaws then played Glen

Predictably, Heizman was not
happy with the loss. "You can't
ever be pleased with a loss," he
said.
The story of the game was
that, by and large, Sycamore
capitalized on their breaks and IH
did not.
One example came in the sec-
ond quarter when, leading 7-0,
Sycamore intercepted an IH pass
which set up a touchdown. An-
other came in the third quarter
when the Aviators scored on a
75-yard pass play.
IH had two opportunities t o
score in the half, b o t h coming
on plays deep in Aviator territory.
On the first, IH failed to get in
the end zone. Later, IH attemp-
ted a field goal. The kick was
wide.
The Braves' only touchdown
came with 1:16 left in the game

Indian Hill High School
Cincinnati, Ohio 45243
Nine-school
by Kevin Walzer
The Cincinnati Hills League
(CHL) has finalized its 1985 fall
sports schedule. The nine-team
league will commence competi-
tion at the start of next school
year.
The CHL is comprised of the
five schools that announced their
withdrawal from the Eastern Hills
League last year-Deer Park, Indi-
an Hill, Loveland, Madeira, and
Mariemont-in addition to four
other small schools from the
Hamilton County area. These
other schools are Finneytown,
Reading, Wyoming, and the Cin-
cinnati Academy of Physical Edu-
cation (CAPE).
The plans for the fall schedule
in 1985 were formulated by the
nine schools' athletic directors on
October 1 and were approved by
the principals o n October 4.
The CHL will field competi-
tion in the following sports:
soccer, tennis, golf, volleyball,
cross country, and football; thus,
the sports remain the same as in
the EHL.
However, noted IH athletic di-
rector Carol Wehmann, several
changes in the scheduling of the
sports were made.
"Boys' and girls' soccer will
now be competing o n separate
days," she s a i d "The old way of
playing had both varsity teams
competing o n the same days,
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Now
each varsity and J V team will play
on the same days-girls on Mon-
day and Wednesday, the boys on
Tuesday and Thursday."
Another change involving soc-
cer is the elimination of the
league tournament, used in com-
bination with the regular season
standings to determine the final
(@hie f tain
L establis ed
standings. In the past, the EHL
was the only league in the city t o
sponsor such a tournament.
Other changes include the
moving of volleyball t o night
play, starting at 7:00 instead of
the former 4:OO; the revamping of
football schedules for EHL teams
due to the addition of a league
game (the EHL plays seven foot-
ball games; the CHL will play
eight); and the elimination of JV
girls' soccer from league competi-
tion due to lack of participation
from some of the schools.
Wehmann was asked, point

IH FHA- hosts 'Fa//Regional Rally'
by Anna Batsakes
The Future Homemakers of
America (FHA) Fall Regional Ral-
ly was held at IH Thursday, Octo-
ber 4. Fourteen schools from the
Southwest region of Ohio atten-
ded.
The program for the rally con-
sisted of a series of lectures and
workshops. Mrs. June Taylor
from Mothers Against Drunk Dri-
vers (MADD) spoke to the FHA
students, promoting new drinking
laws.
Taylor presented a film that
-
she made for PM Magazine which
told the story of her daughter's
death, caused by a drunk driver.
After a short presentation by
the district and state presidents,
the FHA students split into group
workshops. The 14 workshops
gave helpful hints to students who
wished to participate in statewide
FHA competition.
"The rally went okay." said
FHA adviser Mrs. Carleen Drozda.

The presence of CAPE, a do-

like Sycamore, will make little

Regional representatives were
also elected at the rally. Junior
Tesa Caldwell from was elected
representative pro tempore, mean-
ing she will take the place o f the
regional representative if for some
reason, this representative cannot
keep her position. As a tegional
representative, Caldwell would
have to help all the FHA clubs in
the district organize fundraisers
and service projects. She would
also help begin new FHA clubs in
the district.

be different in the CHL. Oh,
sure, they'll probably be very
tough in track and football
(CAPE is currently ranked second
in t h e state class A football poll).
But all schools will have thek spe-
cialties-we'll be tough in golf a n d
tennis, and probably in basket-
ball."
"That's really the great thing
about it-we're all starting from
square one. No more excuses
about size disparity-the best
teams will win. It's up to u s
now ."
The 1984-85 P ~ A officers
were elected in the last week o f
September. This year's president
is senior Jeff Hahn, and the vice-
president is senior Loren Lytle.
The office of secretary is shared
by senior Gary Hallam and junior
Julie Packard; treasurer is shared
by senior T o m Wilson and so-
phomore Cathy Levy.
The main goal for FHA this
year is t o raise a large amount of
money for Children's Hospital
and the FHA scholarship fund.

Once upon a freshman year,
there -was a guy named Lemuel
Davis who was wild, and I mean
really wild. Three years later,
Lem, in his own words, is "just
not as crazy as I used to be."
Many highschoolers go
through this mellowing process,
but Lern is an extreme case. One
reason in particular offered by
Lern is that "I figured I had, ,to
start hitting the books."
Lem's academic career and
consequential mellowing-out were
helped by the staff at IH. His
. view on the administration is that
"they keep good discipline, but I
hope they don't let this award
thing go to their heads."
The teachers, however, were
the ones, and still are the ones,
who really helped Lem. "The ma-
jority of them really care about
their students. Some really work
their tails off to help you." Lern
mentioned some of the better
ones, but let's not play favorites.

area of exercise, Lem's favorite by
far is basketball.
Lern has played intramural
basketball for "two very enjoy-
able years, under the direction of
Mr. Gellert. Ha, ha, ha." Other
than at school, Lern can usually
be found shootin' some hoop
with his brother, Elisha. When
asked who is better, Lern modest-

I'm tallet than he is."
Not only is Lern a player, but
he is also a devoted fan of the bas-
ketball scene. "It's a loved and
enjoyable sport."
Aside from the physical side -
oQlife, Lern likes to listen to mu-
sic more along a jazz line. One fa-
vorite mentioned by Lern was
Wynton Marsalis. "He is summed
up in the word jazz." A few
others were Count Basie, Earth,

Stephanie, it's not going to be a
modern day Sodom and Gomor-
rah affair. She may cruise up t o
Chicago or more likely, rest a la

cat Benji.
Sometime in the future, she

Whatever Stephanie ends u p

movie review
'Liquid Sky9well worth the 'trip'
by Paul Monach
First, a warning: Liquid Sky
is not your ordinary movie. What
other movie's subject matter (in
Cincinnati, at least) deals primar-
ily with heroin, lesbians, bisex-
uals, punk rockers, androgynous
models, and extraterrestrials liv-
ing in dinner-plate-sized space-
ships and feeding on . .. well,
we'll get to that later.
In the first few minutes, the
viewer is introduced to Margaret,
a punk model and "bi"; Jimmy,
an androgynous counterpart freak
to ~ a r ~ & e Adrian.
t; Margaret's
roommate and a "musician" of
sorts; and a nameless alien, who
lands on Margaret's roof.
The rest of the plot can be
summarized fairly quickly. It
turns out that the alien lives on
opium derivatives, and it just so
happens that an opiate is formed
in the human brain (not really,
just in the movie) during orgasm;
a Russian scientist is inserted into
the story to explain this.
"Friendly" Margaret suspects
something is strange when two of

her lovers die with little crystal

frared views of Wms; the
dency of the film to move in an

selection that will certainly win
the Academy Award for "Most
Bizarre Soundtrack."
The movie consists mostly of
chaotic electronic e~p&menta-
tion, with a few recognizable
repeated motifs ("melody" does
not apply). A few songs do spice
up the score, including "Me and
My Rhythm Box" and a new and
different "Old McDonald."
The dialogue is also sometimes
interesting. Margaret, in describ-
ing her childhood, says, "They
told me someday my prince
would come, and he would be a
lawyer, and every Tuesday we
would have barbeque, and all the
other princes and princesses
would come, and they'd say, 'De

Classifying the film as good or
bad is really meaningless. It is a
movie enjoyable simply for its
weirdness. One final note: if you
go, stick around to see at least the
first line of the credits; it will be
worth the "trip."

Braves to host Mariemont in Homecoming
by Kevin Walzer
The football team returns
home tonight to square off
against Mariemont in IH's annual
Homecoming game.
Head coach Mike Heizman
makes no secret of the fact that
Mariemont will prove a formid-
able opponent for the 2-4 Braves.
"They have a very strong de-
fense," he said. "Mariemont
gives up only about 35 yards a
game. We'll have to be sharp
offensively to win."
The 6-0 Warriors are tied
for first place in the EHL with a
3-0 mark, shared by Sycamore.
Mariemont's defense has landed
them in the top twenty in the
Ohio A poll.
When asked about Mar-
iemont's lofty status, Heizman
said, "That sounds about right to
me. I'd believe it. Mariernont has
been a very good team this year."

Predictably, Heizman was not

did not.

Sycamore intercepted an IH pass

other came in the third quarter
when the Aviators scored on a
75-yard pass play.
IH had two opportunities t o

Indian Hill High School
Cincinnati, Ohio 45243
Nine-school
by Kevin Walzer
The Cincinnati Hills League
(CHL) has finalized its 1985 fall
sports schedule. The nine-team
league will commence competi-
tion at the start of next school
year.
The CHL is comprised of the
five schools that announced their
withdrawal from the Eastern Hills
League last year-Deer Park, Indi-
an Hill, Loveland, Madeira, and
Mariemont-in addition to four
other small schools from the
Hamilton County area. These
other schools are Finneytown,
Reading, Wyoming, and the Cin-
cinnati Academy of Physical Edu-
cation (CAPE).
The plans for the fall schedule
in 1985 were formulated by the
nine schools' athletic directors on
October 1 and were approved by
the principals o n October 4.
The CHL will field competi-
tion in the following sports:
soccer, tennis, golf, volleyball,
cross country, and football; thus,
the sports remain the same as in
the EHL.
However, noted IH athletic di-
rector Carol Wehmann, several
changes in the scheduling of the
sports were made.
"Boys' and girls' soccer will
now be competing o n separate
days," she s a i d "The old way of
playing had both varsity teams
competing o n the same days,
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Now
each varsity and J V team will play
on the same days-girls on Mon-
day and Wednesday, the boys on
Tuesday and Thursday."
Another change involving soc-
cer is the elimination of the
league tournament, used in com-
bination with the regular season
standings to determine the final
(@hie f tain
L establis ed
standings. In the past, the EHL
was the only league in the city t o
sponsor such a tournament.
Other changes include the
moving of volleyball t o night
play, starting at 7:00 instead of
the former 4:OO; the revamping of
football schedules for EHL teams
due to the addition of a league
game (the EHL plays seven foot-
ball games; the CHL will play
eight); and the elimination of JV
girls' soccer from league competi-
tion due to lack of participation
from some of the schools.
Wehmann was asked, point

IH FHA- hosts 'Fa//Regional Rally'
by Anna Batsakes
The Future Homemakers of
America (FHA) Fall Regional Ral-
ly was held at IH Thursday, Octo-
ber 4. Fourteen schools from the
Southwest region of Ohio atten-
ded.
The program for the rally con-
sisted of a series of lectures and
workshops. Mrs. June Taylor
from Mothers Against Drunk Dri-
vers (MADD) spoke to the FHA
students, promoting new drinking
laws.
Taylor presented a film that
-
she made for PM Magazine which
told the story of her daughter's
death, caused by a drunk driver.
After a short presentation by
the district and state presidents,
the FHA students split into group
workshops. The 14 workshops
gave helpful hints to students who
wished to participate in statewide
FHA competition.
