Track team splits wit Glen Este, Mil
by Paul Monach
The Indian Hill track team has
been preparing for the damanding
Lockland Night Relays, and those
who qualified yesterday will run
in the finals today.
The track team met its first
league opposition Tuesday at Mil-
ford. The Braves finished second
to Glen Este while defeating
Milford.
Overall, head coach Bob West
had mixed feelings about the
meet, saying, "It was great that
we beat Milford. We're making
progress, but not quite as much as
I had hoped. We definitely need
more mental toughness."
In some ways the occasion
was sweet revenge, as the Braves
defeated Milford for the first time
in many years. However, there
were some areas that will need
work. For the most part, the

IH hosts Gerrrian txchange
by Qvis Hug
Indian Hill hosted a German
Exchange thesc past few weeks
for the second comecutive year.
Two exchange students from
the Thielemann School in
Limburg, a small city in the
southern portion of West Germa-
ny, spent several weeks at Indian
Hill, leaving last week.
Christiana Millsbach, and
Carsten Butzbach, the two ex-
change students, stayed with
Sharon LeVan and Curt Reising.
During Spring Break, the students
went on various trips. Christiana
went to Washington D.C., and
both travelled throughout Cincin-
nati and Northern Kentucky.
During the rest of their stay, the
students attended classes with
other Indian Hill students.
The schedule of the
Thielemann school is much dif-
ferent from that of Indian Hill.
In Limburg, Carsten is taking
about fifteen different classes;
however, he has about four peri-
ods each day.
The advantages of this system
are twofold, Carsten pointed out.
First, because each day has fewer
periods, the classes are longer and
the day, overall, is shorter: a typ-
ical day at the Thielemann School
lasts from 8:00 to 12:30. Sec-
ondly, the greater time between
the same class allows more prepa-
ration time.
Another major difference that

For any students in need of
some extra cash, the PTA can aid
you in finding jobs.
Through past years, the PTA
has organized a system by which
Indian Hill students desiring work
are given jobs by area residents
who need a helping hand. The
jobs, accompanied by reasonable
wages, range from yardwork and
babysitting to the simple running
of errands.
Any interested students are
asked to get involved in this pro-
gram by simply going to the high-
school office and filling out an
application form. When workers'
services are needed they will be
contacted by telephone. Anyone
with questions concerning this
program should immediately con-
tact Mrs. Susan McFarland at 561-
7799.
CHIEFTAIN
Carsten noted was that the facul-
ty at Thielemann determines the
schedules for the students up
through their equivalent of the
eleventh grade.
Indian Hill's method allows
greater flexibility, but the stu-
dents probably get "a more com-
prehensive education" from the
German process, Carsten said.
One major difference between
the U.S. and Germany that both
students noted is transportation.
"In America, you must have a
car," commented Christiana. In
Germany, the public transporta-
tion network of trains and busses
virtually eliminates the need for a
car; however, most German faml-
lies own cars.
In the Indian Hill classes,
Christiana and Carsten said that
there was more class participation
and less lectu~ethan in German
schools. While both students
were eager to return to their old
school, they found their stay at
Indian Hill both enjoyable and
valuable.

Enquirer's Purdy works to 'get your dander up'
f ROM THE fn
by Kurt Dusterberg
Perhaps your morning routine
is something like this: you wake
up, shower, dress, grab a bite to
eat and maybe check the sports
page. The Reds have probably
fallen forty games behind the
Braves and the entire NCAA has
been ~ u on t roba at ion. But then
there is always that column by
the guy with his hair parted in the
middle, Mark Purdy. So maybe
you spare a few minutes and fig-
ure first period can wait.
Mark Purdy has developed a
reputation as a controversial, wit-
ty columnist for The Cincinnati
Enquirer. You may remember his
calling for a boycott of a Reds
game a couple years ago, or more
recently, his prediction for Buf-
falo to beat the Cincinnati Ben-
gals in this year's playoffs.
Marsh, Tschan to compete
by Kurt uusterberg
Doug Marsh, who captured the
Ohio State Junior Three Position
Indoor Riflery Championship in
his division, wiU compete in Colo-
rado Springs, Colorado this week-
end with Ed Tschan in the Na-
tional Junior Invitational Air
Rifle Championship.
Marsh won the Ohio title in
his category of marksman, which
is fourth in order behind master,
expert, and sharpshooter. He fin-
ished fifth in the overall category.
Tschan placed seventh overall.
Each competitor can score
600 points, 200 each in prone,
standing, and kneeling. Marsh
scored a total of 550 points with
194, 168 and 188 in each respec-
tive category. Tschan score a 5 10

three positions.

CHIEFTAIN
"I just write what I think,"
Purdy says. "With the strike, I
just figured people should put up
or shut up. And I felt Buffalo
would beat the Bengals because
they have had some playoff expe-
rience. So why not say it?"
Purdy realizes that not every-
one likes his work, and some arti-
cles are better than others.
"Some mornings when I get the
dog out of the basement, I see
he's done his business righton my
column. I guess that shows some-
thing about where we fit in," he
jokes.
One attitude Purdy attacks
persistently is the rap against his
job. It's not a glory life of easy
living.
"I don't really like going to
the World series or the super
Bowl. There are 800 other writ-
ers there and planes to catch. It's
not all that easy. Its hard physi-
cally and mentally."
"Of course, it can be fun too.
There have been times when I've
just said,'my golly, I'm here.' It
was like that at the hockey games
at the Olympics. I also remember
the night when Reggie Jackson
struck out against Bob Welch in
the World Series a couple years
ago. That was a classic confronta-
shot.
The shooters fire .22 caliber
rifles with 20 shots in each posi-
tion and ten possible points for
every shot.
The Indian Hill Riflery team
took an overall first place, but not
all of the team members are Indi-
an Hill students.
The national competition,
which will begin Saturday for
Marsh and Tschan, will use a pre-
cision air rifle instead of the .22
caliber rifle.
In this competition the com-
petitors will take 80 shots at a
single bullseye. The shooting will
be done from 33 feet. In the
Ohio championship, all shooting
was done from 50 feet.
Tschan also plans to compete
in the air pistol competition in
Colorado Springs. All of the
events will be played at the
Colorado Sprints Olympic Train-
ing Center.
Twenty-nine year old Enquirer sports columnist Mark Purdy Figures it is
best to entertain his readers and try to stimulate thought. That's why he
does not mind "hate mail."
tion."
Anyone who has read one of
Purdy's columns knows he's not
out to be a conformist, and he
won't try t o deny that he is out
to "get your dander up."
"I'm amazed how seriously
I'm taken. I don't mind hate mail
though. It just tells me that, not
only did someone take the time
to read my column, but they took
time to write a letter and pay for
the postage."
"I try to put myself in many
different perspectives and vantage
points. If a home run is hit, most
people watch the ball go over the
fence. I look in the dugout to see
which players are clapping, which
ones shake the player's hand and
who just sits on the bench."
His occasional article written
to his little league coach which he
signs "The Doughnut" originated
from a rather unusual perspective.
"One night at the 1979 World
Series, the game was literally
snowed out. I just said 'boy if my
little league coach were here to
see this.' This wasn't just flurries.
It was a snow storm."
Purdy, who actually parts his
hair on one side rather than down
the middle as his picture indicates
daily, puts his job and his life in a
simple, modest perspective. He
chooses his words carefully and
with honest feelings.
"I don't think I'm even the
best writer in our department. I
realize I'm never going to win a

by Richard Stradling
Teaching school in the United
States is basically the same as it
was over one hundred years ago.
Although the tools have changed,
the methods of teaching the three
"R's" have remained as they al-
ways have been. There is a move-
ment afoot, however, to revive a
method of teaching that was de-
veloped around the turn of the
century, commonly referred to as
the Montessori method, that
attempts to improve on old teach-
ing methods.
Maria Montessori, an Italian
educator and physician, intro-
duced in 1907 a method of teach-
ing that stresses the development
of self-reliance and initiative and
encourages independence within
disciplined limits. Her method
spread throughout the world, and
has begun to flourish anew in the
US in the past four years.
Cincinnati's oldest Montessori
class is located at Cincinnati
Country Day School. The class is
for youngsters between the ages
three and six and has been run-
ning for twenty years. Classes are
divided into two three-hour ses-
sions with each student attending
either in the morning or the after-
noon. The ratio of students to
teachers is 8 to 1, and pupils usu-
ally enter the fust grade upon
completing the classes.
One IH teacher who has
sent her son to the Montes-
sori classes at CCD and is very
happy about the program is
Mrs. Wund. "They encourage
independence, they encourage
respect, they encourage curios-
ity, and they encourage par-
ents to watch their children learn.
I've gone and watched my son
Charles, and hell just be totally
engrossed in what he's doing," she
states.
"Every task they take up is
called their 'work,' and they learn
to complete the cycle," Mrs.
Wund said. "When my son
Charles is fmished playing with
something, he puts it away. They
teach good work habits, and I
know seniors who don't have
good work habits."
Mr. Elliston is another IH
teacher who is satisfied with his
child's progress in a Montessori
class and hopes t o become a Mon-
tessori teacher himself in the fu-
ture. "I'm committed to Montes-
sori. I believe as an educator that
CHIEFTAlN
we must try different methods,"
Elliston maintained. "They edu-
cate the whole person with the
whole aspect of education in
mind.''
"They introduce all facets of a
subject simply and at the same
time in simple terms and move on
from there," explained Mr. Ellis-
ton. "For example, instead of
mastering addition and moving on
to subtraction, Montessori goes
into addition, subtraction, multi-
plication and division in basic
terms and shows the relationship
between them."
The classroom itself at Coun-
try Day is divided, as most Mon-
tessori classrooms at that level
are, into three basic areas: the
everyday living area with its col-
lection of objects and projects
that are encountered in everyday
living, the sensorial area with ob-
jects that test the senses, and the
math and reading area. Each area
is introduced on a concrete level
as opposed to the abstract level of
ordinary education. For example,
math problems are worked out by
using beads or strings of beads in
addition to written numbers as
opposed to just written numbers.
According to CCD teacher
Ginger Scheer, or simply
"Ginger" to her students, the
classes are less teacheraiented
than in standard education.
"Montessori teaches indepen-
dence and the development of
- work habits," she added.

Although the Montessori
method is primarily for elemen-
tary students and younger, some
Montessori high schools do exi!t.
"They still deal in the concrete,
but in a more advanced sense,"
Scheer said. "They basically
work on a contract method."
Training for Montessori teach-
ers is different from that of the
normal teacher. The student
teachers attend a six week course
in the summer at any Montessori
training center. In Cincinnati
there is one located at Xavier Uni-
versity. There they discuss the
philosophies of Maria Montessori
and learn their uses through prac-
tical experience. They must write
papers, give presentations and
write four manuals, each one deal-

ing with the four areas of Montes-
sori: everyday living, sensorial
experience, math and English.
The teachers then spend a year
as interns working under trainers
and periodically reporting to their
training center. Teachers are cer-
tEed to teach in one of three age
groups: three to six year olds, six
to nine year olds, or nine to
twelve year olds.
A renewed interest in the
Montessori method has led t o an
increase in the number of Montes-
sori schools. According to Mon-
tessori teacher Kathleen Hyde,
Montessori education used to be a
status symbol in this country.
But that image is rapidly changing
as more people become disgrun-
tled and the "why can't Johnny

'Victor-/Victoria ' done iust for fun
"Victor/~ictoria"rated PG
Chieftain rating: **
by Gus Gordon
When I first heard that Robert
Preston was going to star as a
homosexual in "Victor/Victoria,"
my expression was that of dis-
belief. "You mean the Music Man
is going to prance around on
screen as a fruitcake? NO WAY!"
But to my surprise, the manner in
which Preston plays the part is all
in fun. That's the way the entire
movie is played, just for fun. It's
a crazy, confusing and often hi-
larious movie that is like a thirties
musical gone wild.
For "Victor/Victoria," Blake
Edwards has assembled an unlike-
ly cast: Julie Andrews as a girl
pretending to be a boy pretending
to be a girl, James Garner as a
tough-guy mafioso, Robert Pres-
ton as a drag queen, Lesley and
Ann Warren as a bimbo, and Alex
Karass as Garner's gay bodyguard.

"Plant trees . . . God, any-

derives this irony frnm last year's

Yet, there is another, a more
personal irony in Peter's ideal
interest in the outdoors and na-
ture. "I love Michigan . . . water-
skiing and sailing in the summer."
Peter spoke fondly of water-
skiing at the Leuger's Michigan
residence in Lake Leelanau. "One

might know a fair amount about
Susan after merely observing the
objects in her room, there are
stories behind everything which
go beyond the basic assumption8
which can be drawn.
The ribbons are from Susan's
career with horses. Last summer,
Susan would get up at 7 :00 in the
morning to be at the formal in-
spection of her gear, which had to
be spotless. Then she had a riding
lesson until lunch. After lunch,
she would study her horse "ox-
hunter" to determine what kind
of shape he was in. In the after-
noon, she would practice jump-
ing, then she would wash her
horse and be home at 5:30 for
dinner. After dinner Susan would
then begin cleaning her gear for
the next day.
"That's all I did," commented
Susan, "So it was a big shock
when I couldn't do it.'' Susan can
no longer train on such rigorous
schedule because of problems
with her back which began last
summer. "I just have to learn to

Since her back problems be-
gan, much of Susan's efforts have
back by paiGi;_?g birds, and since
then I have kept on painting." In
the Scholastic Arts competition
this year, Peter received an Hon-
orable Mention for a piece on a
bird. "I didn't think it was my
best piece, but it was sort of ab-
stract and I guess that is what
they want."

been focused on her artistic en-
deavors. "I have always liked art.
I'm just never pursued it," stated
Susan. Recently, Susan's art has
received quite a few awards. One
of her batiks was selected as a fi-
nalist for the Scholastic competi-
tion and is now being displayed in
New York. In a regional Art
Show one of Susan's paintings re-
ceived an honorable mention, and
a sculpture of hers (her fust, in
fact) won a blue ribbon in the
Midwest Ceremics Show. When
asked why she enjoys art, Susan
responded simply, "I don't think
about my back when I do it."
Another, slightly different ar-
tistic project for Susan is her
dollhouse, which she has been
working on since 5th grade. Tiny
things made to scale fill the
house, from screens made out of
pictures cut from catalogues, to a
little violin, to a &or sur-
rounded by shells picked up in
Florida.

are not channelled solely into her
art. She loves to write poetry,

"I can't stand it. I mean, I could
draw a stick woman and paint a
red slash through it and call it
Woman with Red Slash Through
Her.' Sometimes, I think abstract
artists are on drugs like Van
Gogh." When Peter was reminded
of the story of Van Gogh cutting
his ear off and giving it to his girl-
friend, Peter responded, "I don't
make that kind of a commitment
to my women."
Presently, Peter is concen-
trating on water scenes including
harbors and sailboats. "I would
have to say sailboats, right now,
are my favorite subjects."
Although Peter's painting has
occupied his time, he has con-
sidered his future. "I really
would like to go to Eastern Mich-
igan University. Studying ac-
counting would be great but I
don't know if I would make it in
that major."
Ideally, Peter would "like t o
live in Lake Leelanau, Michigan
with my own accounting firm
and an art gallery, painting a
lot." Living this ideal existence,
Peter would "take things day by
day with no great plans - a simple
life."

'Victor-/Victoria ' done iust for fun
"Victor/~ictoria"rated PG
Chieftain rating: **
by Gus Gordon
When I first heard that Robert
Preston was going to star as a
homosexual in "Victor/Victoria,"
my expression was that of dis-
belief. "You mean the Music Man
is going to prance around on
screen as a fruitcake? NO WAY!"
But to my surprise, the manner in
which Preston plays the part is all
in fun. That's the way the entire
movie is played, just for fun. It's
a crazy, confusing and often hi-
larious movie that is like a thirties
musical gone wild.
For "Victor/Victoria," Blake
Edwards has assembled an unlike-
ly cast: Julie Andrews as a girl
pretending to be a boy pretending
to be a girl, James Garner as a
tough-guy mafioso, Robert Pres-
ton as a drag queen, Lesley and
Ann Warren as a bimbo, and Alex
Karass as Garner's gay bodyguard.

Well, Toddy was right. In no

This is the point where the
movie gets really confusing. Let's
just say it involves affairs between
everyone. You almost have to

Andrews is excellent as the
singer. The only problem that I
had was believing .she was a boy;
she's just too pretty. Garner and

The "plot" revolves around
the conversation of the theatre

substance of their conversation
consists of the two artists' views
of life, and these two philosophies
clash violently in the quiet at-
mosphere of the French restau-

lates his bizarre traveling experi-
ences, that range from being bur-
ied alive in India to eating sand in
the Sahara, to the pudgy native
New Yorker, Wallace Shawn, who
listens intently with a curiosity
tinged with repulsion.
Both actors are searching for
their identities, yet the means by
which each conducts this search
are so entirely different that it is
difficult to believe that the two
are friends. Wallace defends ordi-
nary life and its comforts of elec-

Although the conversation
seems an improbable one at best,
this dinner actually did occur be-

the dinner, the two decided it
would stage an interestid film,
and Shawn approached director
Louis Malle with the idea. Malle
agreed, and the three f h e d the

budget. Andre Gregory apparent-

nearly all the original dinner chat.

his ideal senior prank. "I mean

derives this irony frnm last year's
senior prank, cutting down the

Yet, there is another, a more
personal irony in Peter's ideal
interest in the outdoors and na-
ture. "I love Michigan . . . water-
skiing and sailing in the summer."
Peter spoke fondly of water-
skiing at the Leuger's Michigan

Recently, Peter has discovered
a new way to participate in the
outdoor and nature through art.
"I iove to paint nature." Al-
though Peter has not always ex-

ability to paint."

might know a fair amount about
Susan after merely observing the
objects in her room, there are
stories behind everything which
go beyond the basic assumption8
which can be drawn.
The ribbons are from Susan's
career with horses. Last summer,
Susan would get up at 7 :00 in the
morning to be at the formal in-
spection of her gear, which had to
be spotless. Then she had a riding
lesson until lunch. After lunch,
she would study her horse "ox-
hunter" to determine what kind
of shape he was in. In the after-
noon, she would practice jump-
ing, then she would wash her
horse and be home at 5:30 for
dinner. After dinner Susan would
then begin cleaning her gear for
the next day.
"That's all I did," commented
Susan, "So it was a big shock
when I couldn't do it.'' Susan can
no longer train on such rigorous
schedule because of problems
with her back which began last
summer. "I just have to learn to
cope with it. I have to find new
goals."
Since her back problems be-
gan, much of Susan's efforts have
back by paiGi;_?g birds, and since
then I have kept on painting." In
the Scholastic Arts competition
this year, Peter received an Hon-
orable Mention for a piece on a
bird. "I didn't think it was my
best piece, but it was sort of ab-
stract and I guess that is what
they want."

artists are on drugs like Van

of the story of Van Gogh cutting

Presently, Peter is concen-

there is always that column by

middle, Mark Purdy. So maybe
you spare a few minutes and fig-

Mark Purdy has developed a
reputation as a controversial, wit-

calling for a boycott of a Reds

recently, his prediction for Buf-

Purdy realizes that not every-

One attitude Purdy attacks

There have been times when I've
just said,'my golly, I'm here.' It
was like that at the hockey games
at the Olympics. I also remember
the night when Reggie Jackson
struck out against Bob Welch in
the World Series a couple years
ago. That was a classic confronta-
shot.
The shooters fire .22 caliber
rifles with 20 shots in each posi-
tion and ten possible points for
every shot.
The Indian Hill Riflery team
took an overall first place, but not
all of the team members are Indi-
an Hill students.
The national competition,
which will begin Saturday for
Marsh and Tschan, will use a pre-
cision air rifle instead of the .22
caliber rifle.
In this competition the com-
petitors will take 80 shots at a
single bullseye. The shooting will
be done from 33 feet. In the
Ohio championship, all shooting
was done from 50 feet.
Tschan also plans to compete
in the air pistol competition in

Anyone who has read one of
Purdy's columns knows he's not
out to be a conformist, and he
won't try t o deny that he is out
to "get your dander up."
"I'm amazed how seriously
I'm taken. I don't mind hate mail
though. It just tells me that, not
only did someone take the time
to read my column, but they took
time to write a letter and pay for
the postage."
"I try to put myself in many
different perspectives and vantage
points. If a home run is hit, most
people watch the ball go over the
fence. I look in the dugout to see
which players are clapping, which
ones shake the player's hand and
who just sits on the bench."
His occasional article written
to his little league coach which he
signs "The Doughnut" originated
from a rather unusual perspective.
"One night at the 1979 World
Series, the game was literally
snowed out. I just said 'boy if my
little league coach were here to
see this.' This wasn't just flurries.
It was a snow storm."
Purdy, who actually parts his
hair on one side rather than down
the middle as his picture indicates
daily, puts his job and his life in a
simple, modest perspective. He
chooses his words carefully and
with honest feelings.
"I don't think I'm even the

Montessori offers educational alternative
by Richard Stradling
Teaching school in the United
States is basically the same as it
was over one hundred years ago.
Although the tools have changed,
the methods of teaching the three
"R's" have remained as they al-
ways have been. There is a move-
ment afoot, however, to revive a
method of teaching that was de-
veloped around the turn of the
century, commonly referred to as
the Montessori method, that
attempts to improve on old teach-
ing methods.
Maria Montessori, an Italian
educator and physician, intro-
duced in 1907 a method of teach-
ing that stresses the development
of self-reliance and initiative and
encourages independence within
disciplined limits. Her method
spread throughout the world, and
has begun to flourish anew in the
US in the past four years.
Cincinnati's oldest Montessori
class is located at Cincinnati
Country Day School. The class is
for youngsters between the ages
three and six and has been run-
ning for twenty years. Classes are
divided into two three-hour ses-
sions with each student attending
either in the morning or the after-
noon. The ratio of students to
teachers is 8 to 1, and pupils usu-
ally enter the fust grade upon
completing the classes.
One IH teacher who has
sent her son to the Montes-
sori classes at CCD and is very
happy about the program is
Mrs. Wund. "They encourage
independence, they encourage
respect, they encourage curios-
ity, and they encourage par-
ents to watch their children learn.
I've gone and watched my son
Charles, and hell just be totally
engrossed in what he's doing," she
states.
"Every task they take up is
called their 'work,' and they learn
to complete the cycle," Mrs.
Wund said. "When my son
Charles is fmished playing with
something, he puts it away. They
teach good work habits, and I
know seniors who don't have
good work habits."
Mr. Elliston is another IH
teacher who is satisfied with his
child's progress in a Montessori
class and hopes t o become a Mon-
tessori teacher himself in the fu-
ture. "I'm committed to Montes-
sori. I believe as an educator that
CHIEFTAlN
we must try different methods,"
Elliston maintained. "They edu-
cate the whole person with the
whole aspect of education in
mind.''
"They introduce all facets of a
subject simply and at the same
time in simple terms and move on
from there," explained Mr. Ellis-
ton. "For example, instead of
mastering addition and moving on
to subtraction, Montessori goes
into addition, subtraction, multi-
plication and division in basic
terms and shows the relationship
between them."
The classroom itself at Coun-
try Day is divided, as most Mon-
tessori classrooms at that level
are, into three basic areas: the
everyday living area with its col-
lection of objects and projects
that are encountered in everyday
living, the sensorial area with ob-
jects that test the senses, and the
math and reading area. Each area
is introduced on a concrete level
as opposed to the abstract level of
ordinary education. For example,
math problems are worked out by
using beads or strings of beads in
addition to written numbers as
opposed to just written numbers.
According to CCD teacher
Ginger Scheer, or simply
"Ginger" to her students, the
classes are less teacheraiented
than in standard education.
"Montessori teaches indepen-
dence and the development of
- work habits," she added.

Although the Montessori
method is primarily for elemen-
tary students and younger, some
Montessori high schools do exi!t.
"They still deal in the concrete,
but in a more advanced sense,"
Scheer said. "They basically
work on a contract method."
Training for Montessori teach-
ers is different from that of the
normal teacher. The student
teachers attend a six week course
in the summer at any Montessori
training center. In Cincinnati
there is one located at Xavier Uni-
versity. There they discuss the
philosophies of Maria Montessori
and learn their uses through prac-
tical experience. They must write
papers, give presentations and
write four manuals, each one deal-

as interns working under trainers

A renewed interest in the

increase in the number of Montes-

Montessori education used to be a

IH hosts Gerrrian txchange
by Qvis Hug
Indian Hill hosted a German
Exchange thesc past few weeks
for the second comecutive year.
Two exchange students from
the Thielemann School in
Limburg, a small city in the
southern portion of West Germa-
ny, spent several weeks at Indian
Hill, leaving last week.
Christiana Millsbach, and
Carsten Butzbach, the two ex-
change students, stayed with
Sharon LeVan and Curt Reising.
During Spring Break, the students
went on various trips. Christiana
went to Washington D.C., and
both travelled throughout Cincin-
nati and Northern Kentucky.
During the rest of their stay, the
students attended classes with
other Indian Hill students.
The schedule of the
Thielemann school is much dif-
ferent from that of Indian Hill.
In Limburg, Carsten is taking
about fifteen different classes;
however, he has about four peri-
ods each day.
The advantages of this system
are twofold, Carsten pointed out.
First, because each day has fewer
periods, the classes are longer and
the day, overall, is shorter: a typ-
ical day at the Thielemann School
lasts from 8:00 to 12:30. Sec-
ondly, the greater time between
the same class allows more prepa-
ration time.
Another major difference that

For any students in need of
some extra cash, the PTA can aid
you in finding jobs.
Through past years, the PTA
has organized a system by which
Indian Hill students desiring work
are given jobs by area residents
who need a helping hand. The
jobs, accompanied by reasonable
wages, range from yardwork and
babysitting to the simple running
of errands.
Any interested students are
asked to get involved in this pro-
gram by simply going to the high-
school office and filling out an
application form. When workers'
services are needed they will be
contacted by telephone. Anyone
with questions concerning this
program should immediately con-
tact Mrs. Susan McFarland at 561-
7799.
CHIEFTAIN
Carsten noted was that the facul-
ty at Thielemann determines the
schedules for the students up
through their equivalent of the
eleventh grade.
Indian Hill's method allows
greater flexibility, but the stu-
dents probably get "a more com-
prehensive education" from the
German process, Carsten said.
One major difference between
the U.S. and Germany that both
students noted is transportation.
"In America, you must have a
car," commented Christiana. In
Germany, the public transporta-
tion network of trains and busses
virtually eliminates the need for a
car; however, most German faml-
lies own cars.
In the Indian Hill classes,
Christiana and Carsten said that
there was more class participation
and less lectu~ethan in German
schools. While both students
were eager to return to their old
school, they found their stay at
Indian Hill both enjoyable and
valuable.

The JV Braves, after getting
