Good fish biting in Queen City in April
by Dwight Poffenberger
With spring break just hours
away, many Indian Hill students
fmd themselves headed on a jet
for Ft. Lauderdale or the Baha-
mas to lie out in the sun and
maybe do a little fishing. The
others find themselves stuck in
luke-warm, dreary Cincinnati
being bored without beaches or
enormous fish. But that's only
half true. Believe it or not, good
fishing can be found in the Queen
City in early spring.
A typical Cincinnati fisherman
fishes fann ponds for bass in the
summer, but that is about all. If
one asks him if good springtime
fishing exists here, he would
probably reply "No, not until
about June." But here is where
his pond isn't fulfy stocked.
Good, healthy fish can easily be
caught in April if you know
where to go.
First off, if you would like to
take home a couple tasty rainbow
trout, you should head out to the
nearest paylake. These lakes can

The Sycamore Relays, held

Overall, coach Bob West was

sion, I am very hopeful about the
success of this team. After all, we

be found all over Cincinnati and
are open toward the middle of
March. Up until early May, these
lakes stock hundreds of pounds of
hungry rainbow trout weighing
between one and two pounds.
These trout are reared on protein
pellets in nearby hatcheries and
can be caught on any small type
of bait. Worms, corn, cheese,
marshmallows, artificial lures, and
best of all, live minnows tempt
these trout. For Indian Hill stu-
dents I would recommend going
to nearby Lake Isabella, Lake
Remington or Buckskin Lake. On
Friday evenings, ads for these
lakes can be found in the sports
section of the CincinnatiPost.
Cincinnati's most popular
gamefish, the largemouth bass,
also known as bigmouth, can also
be caught this time of year.
Though the water is colder than
bass like, they will still feed.
Normally large mouth prefer
water temperature in the 703, but
they wiU feed in the high 503,
which is more likely in April. I
pecially promising. The field
events were strong, especially in
the pole vault where Dave Rho-
denbaugh placed sixth with an
11foot 6 inch jump. In the shot-
put, Craig Carman and Chip
Greenlee placed sixth also, both
with a throw of 4 1feet 10 inches.
West was also impressed with
the short distances. "I felt the

pecially in the 800 and 1600 m e

have found that the best early
season bass lures are bottomhug-
ging crankbaits. One of the most
successful ones for me has been
one called the Cisco kid.
Since the fish are sluggish in
the cold water, it helps to retrieve
the bait slowly. Bass are not
nearly as energetic in the colder
water. Also a pork rind or some
type of trailer on the bait will at-
tract more bass than a plain lure
this time of the year. Another
successfull early season bass bait
is a rubber worm jiggled slowly
off the bottom. Purple and black
are the most productive colors.
Besides largemouth bass and
trout, other species can be easily
bagged in April. One of my favor-
ites, the black or white crappie,
falls easy prey to a small minnow
fished around brush this time of
year. Cincinnati may not be the
fishing capital of America, but if
you look hard enough, you can
find plenty of fun fishing right
here even in April.

Drama C l u b p l a y ranks superior
by Gus Gordon
, Indian Hill Drama Club's
awatd winning play, "Tell Me a
Story, Sing Me a Song," has done
it again. The play received the
only superior rating at the Ohio
Theatre Alliance play festival last
weekend in Columbus.
In addition to the superior rat-
ing, the play's two stars, juniors
Stacey Labahn and Lainey Kahl-
strom, also received awards.
Kahlstrom was named as one of
the three superior actors of the
conference and Labahn was
named to the all state cast. "It
felt great!" commented Labahn.
"Tell Me a Story, Sing Me a
Song" was just one of the 10
plays that participated in the fes-
tival. To qualify, each play had
get a superior rating in each of
their respective districts.
The festival itself started at
noon Friday, March 26 and lasted
till 6:00 Saturday. During this
time the participants were treated
to a number of classes in the art
of theatre productions, special
events, parties, and of course,
numerous plays.
"The idea of having a festival
of plays was really great," stated
stage manager Craig Mullaney.
"It's something that Indian Hill
should keep going to in the fu-
ture."
Miss Mary Berwanger, sponsor
of the Drama Club and the play's
director, was in attendance as
were many Drama Club members
and parents of those involved.
"The support that the mem-
bers gave Lainey and Stacey was
great." stated Miss Berwanger.
"It helped them to know their
friends were supporting them ."
"I couldn't believe it!" said
Kahlstrom. "It was one of the
best moments of my life."
More recently, Drama Club
has finished auditions for their
final production of the year, Neil
Simon's The Good Doctor. The
production stars John Lilly in the
title role.
The play consists of nine short
sketches, each representing a
short story written by the Good
Doctor during the course of the
I
play. With so many sketches, the
play has a fairly large cast. In
addition, people who have been
extras in past plays will now have
a chance to perform in dramati-
cally demanding roles. Miss Ber-
wanger commented on the try-
outs: "We had a great flowering

Permanent operating levy facing IH June 8
by Nancy Hopple
The Indian Hi Board of Edu-
cation passed a motion at its
March 23 meeting to place an
8.63-mill permanent operating
levy on the June 8 primary elec-
tion ballot for the IH school
district.
According to Board Treasurer
Mr. Harold Bush, as it stands the
IH district faces a possible 1983
deficit of $1.8 million. With
passage of the levy the district
would receive additional funding
of approximately $1.8 million to
balance the budget.
Bush attriiuted a major por-
tion of the projected 1983 deficit
to the state budget cuts in school
funding, although he added that
the district would have required
some additional funds for next
year even without the reduction
in state aid.
Through budget cuts so far,

The IH Drama Club presented
a production of The Good Doctor

schools were closed, students
attended split-sessions, and Indian

$850,000 of state aid for 1982,
with more cuts expected. MI.
Y ush pointed out that 4 pills of
t e proposed levy are needed to
replace state funding alone.
The Board had agreed earlier
at its March 9 meeting to place
the levy on the ballot but waited
until two days before the County
board of elections' March 25
deadline for submission of tax
issues to decide on the millage of
the levy. The reason for this was

tial 25% of the district's budget.
According to Bush, if the levy is
approved the $1.8 million would
be used to maintain the current
functions of the district.
To the individual home and
property owner in the IH school
district, the 8.63-mill levy trans-
lates into $8.63 in additional
taxes for each $1,000 of the
home's assessed value. However,
the value of the home is assessed
at approximately 35% of its actu-
al selling price. The total value of
homes and property in the school
district has been assessed at $214
million.
If the proposed levy does not
pass, the effects on the school dis-
trict would be severe. Mr. Bush
indicated that there is a plan mak-
ing reductions in the present pro-
grams to compensate for the fi-
nancial deficit if the millage is not
passed.

Several Chieftains back, I
mbmitted a dticism of the way
the press had handled the death
of Natalie Wood. I emphasized
my opinion that the press, like all
othcl. citizens and in
this couney, is ccfreemonly
in the boundary of certain laws.
The past several weeks have
brought a new debate concern~g
the press on the scene. The is-
sue is whether or not television
cameras should be &owed in a

which is bound to create a lot of

that reporters shoud not be pro-

spond to the issue of nervousness
with various retorts such as: "if
television is allowed in court, it
will soon become as much a part
of the trial as the stenographer."
Some of them believe also that
the defendant will, in the long
run, benefit from actions like this
because lawyers wiU "perform"
more adequately if they know
they're being watched. "And, be-

Joan Jeff, Police strut stuff at Indy

Who would think that two
bands as different in style as Joan

two groups will perform at River-

took the opportunity to see them
in Indianapolis last Monday.
The concert features not only
the semicalypso, new-wave style
of the Police, but also the hard
rocking, almost punk perfor-

hearts. The concert itself is enter-
taining and well put together.

What about the future, any-
way, Rod? Obvious careers in
music or writing are not all that
obvious to Rod. He says he is not
sure he has the temperment to be
a professional musician or the pa-
tience to be a writer. "Ideally, I
would live in a big house with a
studio over there (Rod points),
writing all day. But that's just a
pipe dream; I'll probably end up

DECA wins district
by Julie Meyerenke
Thirty-three DECA students,
twenty-five seniors and eight
juniors, competed in the local
DECA Spring Competitive Events
last Tuesday. Eight Indian Hill
first place winners will participate
in the state competition in May:
Mark Ryan in Free Enterprise
Competition, Jeff Bruscher in
Finance and Credit, and Doug
Rogers in General Merchandise.
Cara Stallone, competing in
the Business Ownership and Man-
agement test, Jill Jacobs and Suzy
Schutty, in Outstanding DECA
Activity, John Groene, in Sales
Demonstration, and Craig John-
son, in Public Speaking wilt also
go on to state, as they all took
second place in their respective
events.
Sue Epstein earned third place
in Finance and Credit, as did Jed
Donne11 in Food Marketing, Judy
Goodman in the Job Interview
event, and a trio of Rick Dubell,
Roger Stultz, and Mike Kubiki in
team Management.
Placing fifth were Traci
Doppler in General Merchandise,
Miriam Herazo in Advertising, and
Suzanne Sudbrack in Apparel and
Accessories.
Although the competition was
more difficult this year with the
addition of three new schools,
this is the tenth consecutive year
that Indian Hill DECA students
have won the district trophy.
The Ohio Association of
DECA provides recognition for
individual and group accomplish-
ments on district, regional, and
state levels. Such competitive
activities are practical, realistic,
and helpful as an educational
experience for Ohio DECA
members.

Robin has few criteria for people
she likes to be with, except that
they have "something to say and
are honest."
Much of Robin's energy is
funneled into her school activi-
ties, of which the most energy
goes into her job as Student
Government co-president. "I en-
joy organizing and doing things
for my school and community,"
commented Robin. Robin has
gained as much personally
through her involvement in Stu-
dent Government as has the
school and community. Robin
has not only learned quite a bit
about responsibility, but she now
appreciates "the headaches ad-
ministrators have," and that "the

Gor the initiated Indian Hill
student, Rod's serenading a cute
young girl with his guitar or his
fmgering of a make-believe piano
in the Student Service Center is
not unexpected. "Music, for me,
is the most incredible release of
tension and the best form of ex-
dle."
Looking back over her accom-
plishments in Student Govern-
ment so far, Robin feels that they
deal more with people services
than with other, more concrete
areas. Robin has helped raise
more money for charities this
year than in any other year, and
has made sure that such "people
oriented" activities as the Big
BrotherIBig Sister program are
kept alive and well.
In addition to her Student
Government work, Robin has also
been cheerleader throughout
school. Robin, captain of this
squad for two years, loves cheer-
leading because she can "jump up
and down and act queer withbut

ROBIN, from page 5
When asked why she has contz;
ued cheerleading throughout her
high school career, Robin said, "I
love our school. I'm just a school
spirited person. That's why I like
cheerleading."
Outside of school, Robin en-
joys working at the "Acorn" as a
salesgirl, and being a member of
her church's peer group. In her
peer group, Robin is involved in
volunteer work with the under
privileged. "It's a culture shock,"
Robin stated. "I realize how
sheltered our lives are. It makes
you appreciate all that we have."
As for her future, Robin seems
to have her life fairly well charted
out. First, she would like to
attend Smith College, a small
woman's school in Massachusetts.
From there, Robin would like to
enter law school at Georgetown
University in Washington D.C.
Next, because she's "such a mom
type," Robin would like to get
married and raise a family. When
her children are grown, she would
then like to apply her education
and practice law.
During college, Robin would
like to study overseas, hopefully
in either Paris or Geneva. Robin
loves to travel, but not just to see
the sights or to say that she's been
there. Robin loves to travel be-
cause it provides her with the
opportunity to meet new and
interesting people.
As can be seen, one cannot
talk about Robin Greiner for very
long without getting back to one
basic: people. Robin's advice to
her younger friends reflects this;
"Get totally involved because you
meet so many different kinds of
people. And don't hang around
the same group because you'll get
stifled.'' For herself, Robin wants
only to "do as much living as I
can."

most likely snarled under his
breath all the while, "I don't like

Rod's rather blatant distaste
for "numbers" and the mathema-

love for creative expression.

Rod's musical experience b e
gan many .years ago (he has lost
track of how many) with guitar.
Ironically, early on, Rod looked
upon his playing of the guitar as a
task. "I hated it. It just didn't
appeal to me. Not until I began
to play songs did I began to enjoy
it."

of his musical career thus far has
been the recording of a record
which he arranged and produced.
Recently, Rod's 45 record broke
the realm of Indian Hill High
School ears and aired on WNOP, a
local jazz station.
Rod's creative expression is
not isolated within music. It con-
tinues through another pursuit;
writing, more specifically, writing
poetry. "I like Japanese poetry,

has not devoted much time writ-

This lack of time may in part
be attriiuted to his active partici-
pation within the school. Present-
ly Rod is managing editor of
Chieftain, co-president of the
senior class, and an involved
member of Peer Counseling.
Although Rod Ban, alias Paco
Sostenuto, has been instigating a
"reign of terror" on the school of
late, he has no qualms about the
school or his education. "I think
Indian Hill High School has been
a good place to grow up. It's a
really good school. Several of the
departments, especially the Eng-
lish Department, are amazing."
In any event, whatever Rod's
opinion of his schooling, his edu-
cation definitely will come to a
test at Princeton University next
fall. Rod plans to major in Eng-
lish and Literature. Yet, he
doesn't want to strictly concen-

her children are grown, she would
then like to apply her education
and practice law.
During college, Robin would
like to study overseas, hopefully
in either Paris or Geneva. Robin
loves to travel, but not just to see
the sights or to say that she's been
there. Robin loves to travel be-
cause it provides her with the
opportunity to meet new and
interesting people.
As can be seen, one cannot
talk about Robin Greiner for very
long without getting back to one
basic: people. Robin's advice to
her younger friends reflects this;
"Get totally involved because you
meet so many different kinds of
people. And don't hang around
the same group because you'll get
stifled.'' For herself, Robin wants
only to "do as much living as I
can."

Rod's rather blatant distaste

Ironically, early on, Rod looked
upon his playing of the guitar as a
task. "I hated it. It just didn't
appeal to me. Not until I began
to play songs did I began to enjoy
it."

of his musical career thus far has
been the recording of a record
which he arranged and produced.
Recently, Rod's 45 record broke
the realm of Indian Hill High

local jazz station.
Rod's creative expression is
not isolated within music. It con-

writing, more specifically, writing
poetry. "I like Japanese poetry,

has not devoted much time writ-

This lack of time may in part
be attriiuted to his active partici-
pation within the school. Present-
ly Rod is managing editor of
Chieftain, co-president of the
senior class, and an involved
member of Peer Counseling.
Although Rod Ban, alias Paco
Sostenuto, has been instigating a
"reign of terror" on the school of

school or his education. "I think
Indian Hill High School has been
a good place to grow up. It's a
really good school. Several of the
departments, especially the Eng-
lish Department, are amazing."
In any event, whatever Rod's
opinion of his schooling, his edu-
cation definitely will come to a
test at Princeton University next
fall. Rod plans to major in Eng-
lish and Literature. Yet, he
doesn't want to strictly concen-

concert review
Joan Jeff, Police strut stuff at Indy
by Chuck Schmalz ('80)
Who would think that two
bands as different in style as Joan
Jett and the Blackhearts and the
Police would appear on the same
stage on the same evening? The
two groups will perform at River-
front Coliseum on April 6, but I
took the opportunity to see them
in Indianapolis last Monday.
The concert features not only
the semicalypso, new-wave style
of the Police, but also the hard
rocking, almost punk perfor-
mance of Joan Jett and the Black-
hearts. The concert itself is enter-
taining and well put together.
The show opens of course

DECA wins district
by Julie Meyerenke
Thirty-three DECA students,
twenty-five seniors and eight
juniors, competed in the local
DECA Spring Competitive Events
last Tuesday. Eight Indian Hill
first place winners will participate
in the state competition in May:
Mark Ryan in Free Enterprise
Competition, Jeff Bruscher in
Finance and Credit, and Doug
Rogers in General Merchandise.
Cara Stallone, competing in
the Business Ownership and Man-
agement test, Jill Jacobs and Suzy
Schutty, in Outstanding DECA
Activity, John Groene, in Sales
Demonstration, and Craig John-
son, in Public Speaking wilt also
go on to state, as they all took
second place in their respective
events.
Sue Epstein earned third place
in Finance and Credit, as did Jed
Donne11 in Food Marketing, Judy
Goodman in the Job Interview
event, and a trio of Rick Dubell,
Roger Stultz, and Mike Kubiki in
team Management.
Placing fifth were Traci
Doppler in General Merchandise,
Miriam Herazo in Advertising, and
Suzanne Sudbrack in Apparel and
Accessories.
Although the competition was
more difficult this year with the
addition of three new schools,
this is the tenth consecutive year
that Indian Hill DECA students
have won the district trophy.
The Ohio Association of
DECA provides recognition for
individual and group accomplish-
ments on district, regional, and
state levels. Such competitive
activities are practical, realistic,
and helpful as an educational
experience for Ohio DECA
members.

mbmitted a dticism of the way
the press had handled the death
of Natalie Wood. I emphasized
my opinion that the press, like all
othcl. citizens and in
this couney, is ccfreemonly
in the boundary of certain laws.
The past several weeks have
brought a new debate concern~g
the press on the scene. The is-
sue is whether or not television
cameras should be &owed in a
courtroom. This is a question
which is bound to create a lot of
debate, as d &<fist amendment"

present both sides, along with my
opinion.
The 'cpro-teloisioners" b a e

that reporters shoud not be pro-
hibited from any "public" event,-
pointing out that the constitution
does refer t o ..the .right of the
accused to a "public" trial, re-

They think that the public has

the closest means by which they
can satisfy thisdesire- They re-
spond to the issue of nervousness
with various retorts such as: "if
television is allowed in court, it
will soon become as much a part
of the trial as the stenographer."
Some of them believe also that
the defendant will, in the long
run, benefit from actions like this
because lawyers wiU "perform"
more adequately if they know
they're being watched. "And, be-

However, the matches in the

they defeated Lima, 3-2. Sopho-

team of Peter Graham and Steve

4-6,6-2,6-2.
In the next round, the team
defeated Geneva, 3-2, for the con-

again Poffenberger won, 3-6, 6-3,

Good fish biting in Queen City in April
by Dwight Poffenberger
With spring break just hours
away, many Indian Hill students
fmd themselves headed on a jet
for Ft. Lauderdale or the Baha-
mas to lie out in the sun and
maybe do a little fishing. The
others find themselves stuck in
luke-warm, dreary Cincinnati
being bored without beaches or
enormous fish. But that's only
half true. Believe it or not, good
fishing can be found in the Queen
City in early spring.
A typical Cincinnati fisherman
fishes fann ponds for bass in the
summer, but that is about all. If
one asks him if good springtime
fishing exists here, he would
probably reply "No, not until
about June." But here is where
his pond isn't fulfy stocked.
Good, healthy fish can easily be
caught in April if you know
where to go.
First off, if you would like to
take home a couple tasty rainbow
trout, you should head out to the
nearest paylake. These lakes can

The Sycamore Relays, held
Monday, March 29, have come

points and areas that need work.
Overall, coach Bob West was
encouraged by the performance,
saying, "Even though we frnished
tenth out of ten teams in our divi-
sion, I am very hopeful about the
success of this team. After all, we
were the smaest school in our
group."

be found all over Cincinnati and
are open toward the middle of
March. Up until early May, these
lakes stock hundreds of pounds of
hungry rainbow trout weighing
between one and two pounds.
These trout are reared on protein
pellets in nearby hatcheries and
can be caught on any small type
of bait. Worms, corn, cheese,
marshmallows, artificial lures, and
best of all, live minnows tempt
these trout. For Indian Hill stu-
dents I would recommend going
to nearby Lake Isabella, Lake
Remington or Buckskin Lake. On
Friday evenings, ads for these
lakes can be found in the sports
section of the CincinnatiPost.
Cincinnati's most popular
gamefish, the largemouth bass,
also known as bigmouth, can also
be caught this time of year.
Though the water is colder than
bass like, they will still feed.
Normally large mouth prefer
water temperature in the 703, but
they wiU feed in the high 503,
which is more likely in April. I
pecially promising. The field
events were strong, especially in
the pole vault where Dave Rho-
denbaugh placed sixth with an
11foot 6 inch jump. In the shot-
put, Craig Carman and Chip
Greenlee placed sixth also, both
with a throw of 4 1feet 10 inches.
West was also impressed with
the short distances. "I felt the
sprinters looked very strong, es-
pecially in the 800 and 1600 m e
ter relays."

have found that the best early
season bass lures are bottomhug-
ging crankbaits. One of the most
successful ones for me has been
one called the Cisco kid.
Since the fish are sluggish in
the cold water, it helps to retrieve
the bait slowly. Bass are not
nearly as energetic in the colder
water. Also a pork rind or some
type of trailer on the bait will at-
tract more bass than a plain lure
this time of the year. Another
successfull early season bass bait
is a rubber worm jiggled slowly
off the bottom. Purple and black
are the most productive colors.
Besides largemouth bass and
trout, other species can be easily
bagged in April. One of my favor-
ites, the black or white crappie,
falls easy prey to a small minnow
fished around brush this time of
year. Cincinnati may not be the
fishing capital of America, but if
you look hard enough, you can
find plenty of fun fishing right
here even in April.

Drama C l u b p l a y ranks superior
by Gus Gordon
, Indian Hill Drama Club's
awatd winning play, "Tell Me a
Story, Sing Me a Song," has done
it again. The play received the
only superior rating at the Ohio
Theatre Alliance play festival last
weekend in Columbus.
In addition to the superior rat-
ing, the play's two stars, juniors
Stacey Labahn and Lainey Kahl-
strom, also received awards.
Kahlstrom was named as one of
the three superior actors of the
conference and Labahn was
named to the all state cast. "It
felt great!" commented Labahn.
"Tell Me a Story, Sing Me a
Song" was just one of the 10
plays that participated in the fes-
tival. To qualify, each play had
get a superior rating in each of
their respective districts.
The festival itself started at
noon Friday, March 26 and lasted
till 6:00 Saturday. During this
time the participants were treated
to a number of classes in the art
of theatre productions, special
events, parties, and of course,
numerous plays.
"The idea of having a festival
of plays was really great," stated
stage manager Craig Mullaney.
"It's something that Indian Hill
should keep going to in the fu-
ture."
Miss Mary Berwanger, sponsor
of the Drama Club and the play's
director, was in attendance as
were many Drama Club members
and parents of those involved.
"The support that the mem-
bers gave Lainey and Stacey was
great." stated Miss Berwanger.
"It helped them to know their
friends were supporting them ."
"I couldn't believe it!" said
Kahlstrom. "It was one of the
best moments of my life."
More recently, Drama Club
has finished auditions for their
final production of the year, Neil
Simon's The Good Doctor. The
production stars John Lilly in the
title role.
The play consists of nine short
sketches, each representing a
short story written by the Good
Doctor during the course of the
I
play. With so many sketches, the
play has a fairly large cast. In
addition, people who have been
extras in past plays will now have
a chance to perform in dramati-
cally demanding roles. Miss Ber-
wanger commented on the try-
outs: "We had a great flowering

Permanent operating levy facing IH June 8
by Nancy Hopple
The Indian Hi Board of Edu-
cation passed a motion at its
March 23 meeting to place an
8.63-mill permanent operating
levy on the June 8 primary elec-
tion ballot for the IH school
district.
According to Board Treasurer
Mr. Harold Bush, as it stands the
IH district faces a possible 1983
deficit of $1.8 million. With
passage of the levy the district
would receive additional funding
of approximately $1.8 million to
balance the budget.
Bush attriiuted a major por-
tion of the projected 1983 deficit
to the state budget cuts in school
funding, although he added that
the district would have required
some additional funds for next
year even without the reduction
in state aid.
Through budget cuts so far,

The IH Drama Club presented

schools were closed, students

Y ush pointed out that 4 pills of
t e proposed levy are needed to
replace state funding alone.
The Board had agreed earlier
at its March 9 meeting to place
the levy on the ballot but waited
until two days before the County
board of elections' March 25
deadline for submission of tax
issues to decide on the millage of
the levy. The reason for this was

tial 25% of the district's budget.
According to Bush, if the levy is
approved the $1.8 million would
be used to maintain the current
functions of the district.
To the individual home and
property owner in the IH school
district, the 8.63-mill levy trans-
lates into $8.63 in additional
taxes for each $1,000 of the
home's assessed value. However,
the value of the home is assessed
at approximately 35% of its actu-
al selling price. The total value of
homes and property in the school
district has been assessed at $214
million.
If the proposed levy does not
pass, the effects on the school dis-
trict would be severe. Mr. Bush
indicated that there is a plan mak-
ing reductions in the present pro-
grams to compensate for the fi-
nancial deficit if the millage is not
passed.
