Faces — Old, new, tired, or excited — are always a welcome sight on the first day of school. The initial shock of school wears off quickly with a sympathetic glance from an old friend, teacher, or new student. Con­ flicting emotions, as always, are viv­

idly displayed with the expressions that one is likely to encounter in the Commons or down the hall. After all, returning to the academic “grind” at Miami Valley isn’t easy, but then again, nothing worth doing ever is.

Are you sad that the summer’s over?

Happy to be back at M.V.S.? Excited to see your friends? Glad to meet all of the new students and teachers? I can tell — it’s written all over your face.

Fun

Fun — and lots of it! Although the first day of school may not seem like your idea of fun, just wait until the year gets going. After friends are re­ united, old romances rekindled,

schedules worked out, and classes in­ troduced, the whole campus settles down to the business of fun. Just think of all of the friendships, sports, assemblies, dances, debates, jokes.

and excitement yet to come. Immer­ sion isn’t even until spring! What’s going on here? I thought school was supposed to be a drag! This is unreal!

Friends

Friendship is forever. One great thing about Miami Valley’s small size is the unique social atmosphere and friendships it cultivates. A per­ son can return to MVS and catch up

easily with old friends while having an opportunity to get to know all of the new students as well. Some peo­ ple at the school have been together in this small and friendly environ­

ment for almost as long as they can remember, and other students can quickly jump in and add their special brand of friendship to the unique family of friends that is MVS.

Graduation

Congratulations, Class of 1990!

Graduation returned to the Victoria Theater for commencement on June 10 with a few changes. Due to fire codes, juniors received white roses as a symbol of their step into seniordom. The presentation included a slide show of all the seniors, reflec足 tive music, and speeches by twentythree of the twenty-six graduates.

The climax of the commencement was the passing out of diplomas.

FACES

New Faces Each year, a welcome addition of new faces adds flavor and excitement to the school year. The year 1990 signalled a bumper crop of new faces — a total of almost thirty in the upper school alone!

From Franklin, Springboro, Kettering, Dayton, Centerville, or just about anywhere in the area, the new faces of 1990 brought new ideas, styles, and attitudes to the ever-changing collage that is the Miami Valley School!

Lucky that there was only one hallway to negotiate, or a large percentage of the student body might have been lost in the beginning of the year! Thanks to the support of the “veterans”, however, 1990’s “New Kids on the Block” fared very well, and the school was all the better for it.

STUDENT LIFE

Yearbook The 1989-90 Successions staff had an exciting year. Besides taking a more active role in the physical lay­ out and design of the yearbook, this year’s staff followed a consistently efficient path to production with the aid of Doug Vice — the Josten’s rep­ resentative. Weekly organizational meetings and the inevitable “Satur­ day Sessions” allowed the staff to ex­ ecute their creative urges while re­ cording yet another year of M.V.S. history.

Phloem and Xvlem had a dedicat­ ed staff. The paper was able to pro­ duce three outstanding issues this year. The paper received first place and a certificate of excellence in the Columbia Scholastic Press Competi­ tion. This was the third consecutive year Phloem and Xvlem has received such an honor. Although the paper was produced on a trimester basis, many stories and opinions were voiced, such as in the story on Global Glimpses and the student protest.

Newspaper

Literary Magazine Under the guidance of faculty advisors Betsy Hughes and Florence Krahling and the co­ editorship of Lisa Cawley and Radha Reddy, the 2 1 -member staff worked diligently to produce this year’s beautiful, literary magazine.

For the first time in Aesthesia’s history all of the typeset was done on the school’s Macintosh and laser printer, thus making the magazine the most aesthetically pleasing production.

The 1989-90 Student Council had a hard, but successful year headed

by Darrin Bright with secretary Allison Baines. Once the year began. Student Council began a productive plan of completing their usual programs: Halloween Dance, the annual can drive which proved extremely successful, the fruit sale, and the festive Spirit Week Dance.

Student Council also realized that it was not being used by the student body to its full advantage and plans to accomplish this next year. A contribution made by Student Council was a student microwave, a big hit.

Congratulations to the 1989-90 Student Council.

Student Council

Model UN

The Model United Nations group this year was bigger than ever. The membership this year has grown to 42 students which for the trip to UD conference caused a shortage of students at home. Both United Kingdom and Uganda won awards.

The students soon switched roles and went to New York as Sweden and Uganda. Although neither delegation won awards this year, there was definite improvement in the preparations for the conference.

There was also a strong showing by the underclassmen which bodes well for the future.

The year 1989-90 has been active for Amnesty International.

Comprised of individuals concerned about violations of basic human rights globally, these students write letters to countries’ administrations in order to raise awareness. The members encourage governments of countries with political prisoners to reevaluate the cases supposedly thought to be infringements on human rights. In weekly meetings, the students each write letters to the specific countries mentioned in Urgent Actions, newsletters sent to Amnesty groups around the United States. With Emily Mackil as president and Jenifer Van Vleck as vice president, and advisers Chad Speight and Sue Carr, it has been a productive year.

Muse Machine The 1989-90 Muse Machine program was advised by Mrs. Kretzler with co-captains Packy Moran and Julie Huey. Kristen Eberly kept us informed of all Dayton Ballet performances and gave us the availability of tickets.

One of the thrilling highlights was the Human Race coming to school to perform one of their more dramatic dance sequences which the entire student body enjoyed.

This year’s Forensics team proved to be one of the youngest.

At the start of the season the middle schoolers collected a wealth of awards at various novice tournaments. Liz Dysert, Laura Kersh, Melissa Walther, and Amy Eikenbery placed in duet acting.

Brent Craig and Jon Nathan showed great promise in extemporaneous speaking. Anju Gupta also received an award in novice Lincoln-Douglas debate.

Finally, sophomore Vanita Kumar, won an award in varsity LincolnDouglas debate. High hopes are expected for the coming year.

53

Stamp Club The members of the Stamp Club, William King, Mara Smith, and David Czarnota, advised by Vin Romeo, had a great year. Although the group was small, there were enough stamps to keep the club alive and prospering. The Stamp Club participated in the buying and selling of stamps during their meetings. William King felt that although his stamp collection was larger than everyone’s, Mr. Romeo’s held stronger value. Mara Smith, a newcomer to stamp collecting, is doing quite well in her collection.

1. William King gets instruction from the advisor, Mr. Romeo. 2. William King carefully chooses a stamp. 3. David Czarnota looks up information.

1. Eddie Mobley considers his options from every view. 2. The top six players who participated in the matches and their coach, Jon Graetz. 3. The members of the Chess Club. Front row: Sami Siddiqi, Valerie Weis, John Czarnota, Matt Taylor, Mr. Graetz.

Last row: Prabal Nandy, Kristen Eberly, Scott Weinstein, James McCutcheon, Eddie Mobley, Jack Yu, Matt Renner, Nelson Reid.

This year, Jon Graetz, a new member of the Miami Valley School faculty, introduced a new alternative to extra-curricular activities. The Chess Club consisted of 43 members. Although all of them played during the school hours, only the top six players participated in actual matches. These persons usually consisted of Eddie Mobley, John Czarnota, Jack Yu, Matt Renner, Nelson Reid, and Darrin Bright.

The club did well its first season with a record of 7 and 3.

Spirit Week What do Adam & Eve, Siskel & Egbert, and the Twins of Desire have in common? And what makes them so significant to events at the Miami Valley School? Well, these unique individuals were all a part of Spirit Week ’90 at Miami Valley — once again, that annual display of spirit and competition that culminates in the M.V.S. Basketball Invitational Tournament. For one crazy week, the hallways were transformed into colorful “spirit halls” by the classes, with each hallway presenting a unique theme relating to spirit and/or the Miami Valley School. The annual Holiday Aid can drive represented generous giving with a competitive edge, and participation in dress-up days and attendance at basketball games was carefully monitored. But which class would walk away with the fabled spirit-stick this year ...

The secondplace winners for 1990, the sophomore class, provided keen competition in the event, during a year in which skits were unusually respectable. The M.V.S. Tourney was a success once again, as the M.V.S. boys team garnered a fourth-place finish. The girls played a competitive first tourney, and the dance, as always, was a well-attended success. After the dust had settled, and all of the red and blue balloons had popped or faded away, M.V.S. had to take a breather from one of the most exciting spirit weeks ever!

Immersion P h o t o g r a 3

For four weeks, six students spent their Immersion days achiev­ ing success with use of the camera in Basic Photography taught by Barbara Rion. The stu­ dents first learned new concepts and were in­ troduced to a different view of photography.

They were able to visit Cox Arboretum, Yellow Springs and C lifton Gorge as shooting loca­ tions and studied the current photography world visiting art gal­ leries in C incinnati.

Mrs. Rion felt that al­ though the areas were all the same, the styles were all unique.

S tu d en ts began by sketching preliminary drawings of their art work. The class was then shown the options available in construct­ ing their ideas into th ree-d im en sio n a l works.

The students had to work hard to learn Pas­ cal and to apply what they had learned in or­ der to visualize and write their own com­ puter programs. M o­ dems, robotics, and the use of com puters in m an u factu rin g at a nearby plant were just a few of the computer ap­ plications they studied.

A two-week trip to Wil­ liamsburg, Charlottes­ ville, and H am pton, Virginia, special pro­ grams, visits to Hamp­ ton (University), and Philip Morris Indus­ tries made history come alive. We learned a very im portant historical constant — the more things change, the more they stay the same.

The Global Glimpses Immersion group stud­ ied four basic areas of the world: South Afri­ ca, the Middle East, the O rient, and E astern Europe. Each student gave an oral report on individual countries and wrote two papers on a political issue. The highlight of the pro­ gram was a five-day trip to W ashington, which included a bus tour to Mount Vernon, an interview with Tony Hall, a visit to the State Department, and visits to various embassies.

Shelly Lofino felt her h ig h lig h ts were the boat ride with the ex­ travagant Flam enco dancing and using her Spanish. “The Spanish Immersion was a oncein-a-lifetim e exp eri­ ence.”

To be a doctor in the 1990’s or not to be: that was the question to which I sought an answer. For my Immer­ sion project I spent time with three different doctors: Dr. West, and orthopedist. Dr. Witty, a nephrologist, and Dr. Snyder, an emergency medicine specialist.

These three very different and unique experiences pro­ vided me with a better understanding of what the medi­ cal profession is all about. This was truly a learning experience for me, not only in terms of what I learned about orthopedics, nephrology, and emergency medi­ cine, but also what I learned about myself. With this experience I now feel confident in my decision to be­ come a physician in the 1990’s.

Darrin Bright

I just went from being a junior in high school to being a junior in college! For a month, that is, when I studied dance at Wright State University for my Immersion. I participated in ballet, jazz, and modern dance classes along with college students who are planning careers relating to dance. For the first three weeks of Immer­ sion, I followed a full schedule given to me by the director of the department, Ms. Suzanne Walker. I spent my last week on a piece of choreography to ac­ company George Winston’s “Thanksgiving.” I received a taste of the demands of being a dance major and learned of many career options. I am truly grateful for this Immersion opportunity!

It’s not the thrill of victory, but the “agony of defeat” that puts many Daytonians in the St. Elizabeth Sports Medicine Center. Sports medicine has become one of the fastest growing medical fields. During my Immer­ sion, I was able to work with someone in each facet of the Center. I shadowed Dr. Mannarino — an orthopedic surgeon and head of the Center — and was able to watch an arthroscopy. I would like to thank Dr. Man­ narino for sponsoring me and making my Immersion as interesting and fun as it was. The experience has helped me decide that a career in sports medicine surgery is my plan for the future.

Eddie Mobley Ever wonder what it would be like to enter the “real world” our parents are always telling us about? From my first day at Delco Moraine, one of the many divi­ sions of General Motors, the concept of Immersion tru­ ly came into play. During my experience, I was intro­ duced to five facets of professional engineering. I began with product engineering which entails component de­ sign. I then studied manufacturing engineering, tool engineering, assembly engineering, and finally industri­ al engineering. I followed the engineering process from inception to production. Because of my Immersion ex­ perience, I have seen what my future will be like.

From yawning from boredom and crying from physi­ cal pain to learning an uncensored version of hotel business, my experiences from working at the Marriott Hotel were rewarding for many reasons. I met many people in different hotel departments, who taught me a lot about the hotel industry. I enjoyed working in the private concierge lounge and the restaurant. Both of these posts had a relaxed atmosphere about them. I realized that you can only have fun and money in the hotel industry if you own the hotels yourself, and until that day, I prefer to remain a guest rather than an employee.

James McCutcheon & Prabal Nandy The United States Space Academy! We were able to let our dreams come true through our dual-independent proposal, entitled “Space: The Final Frontier”. James McCutcheon requested the Aerospace track where he learned the complicated structure of the orbiter’s sys­ tems and the knowledge required to coordinate all the different aspects of the missions in general. Prabal Nandy worked in the Technology track where he de­ signed and operated his own experiments and partici­ pated in a space station simulator where these experi­ ments are carried out. The twenty-four hour mission proved to be the most grueling, yet most enjoyable, part of our stay at the Space Academy.

Radha Reddy Remember Rain Man? Well, in a special sense, I spent four weeks surrounded by a class of miniature Dustin Hoffmans at the Shade Elementary School in West Carrollton. While working with autistic children closely in areas of academics and social interaction, I received a refresher course where I learned to savor each little victory. Too often, people lose sight of small triumphs when they find that their ultimate goals of perfection are not attained. The children’s individual­ ity, enthusiasm, spirit, and innocent sparkle made each day inviting and interesting and also made my Immer­ sion a wonderful and rewarding experience.

While the rest of the school was taking pictures, dis­ cussing foreign policy, or going to Spain, I was busy crawling deep inside the earth. I spent three weeks at Mammoth Cave National Park with the Department of Science and Resource Management. For the science side, I worked on collecting radon samples in the cave, analyzing the water in springs, and setting up for an aerial survey. For the Resource Dept., I marked dead and dangerous trees, helped archaeologists search for artifacts, and inventoried more than fifty caves in the park. I learned a lot about caves and their unique geolo­ gy during my stay at Mammoth Cave, and I saw how the park service works.

Marketa Wills I took a glance at the action in a corporate environ­ ment at Day-Med Health Maintenance Plan, a for-prof­ it health care insurance company. By working with Day-Med I gained personal as well as educational knowledge. I realized that the people in an office have the same type of interaction as those in any other small environment. I also learned communicative skills.

Speaking and writing are two skills that are necessary for success in this environment. More practical skills such as typing, filing, and answering phones came in handy, too. The glamorous portrayal of business was evaluated. I concluded that unfortunately I would have to trade my imaginary fancy luncheon meetings for more concrete, painful paper cuts!

The 8th grade project period, was based on the annual trip to Chicago.

This experimental trip included an art walking tour in which the stu­ dents were able to view works by Pi­ casso, Chagall and Caulda. There was also an architectural Boat Tour where the students saw A1 Capone’s speakeasy, and the Neighborhood Project was a highlight for all. The 8 th Grade also visited different eth­ nic neighborhoods where they gath­ ered information from people on the street.

Highlights of the program included field trips to several local historical sites, guest speakers, and a three day trip to Cincinnati.

Girls’ Tennis This year’s girls’ varsity tennis team had an impres­ sive record of 22-2, ranked #3 in A/AA. Coach Vin Ro­ meo, who was named A/AA Coach of the Year, said, “This is the first team I’ve ever had that was always in a good mood. These girls truly enjoyed their season and each other.” This year Mi­ ami Valley finished first in the MVS invitational due to Lisa Cawley’s strong playing.

She was named Most Valu­ able Player. Erica Weis, a new freshman at MVS, was named Most Improved Play­ er.

Several girls were given all area rankings. Lisa Cawley was given second in singles, Eunice Kim, honorable men­ tion, Christine Phungrasamee and Rajitha Avva re­ ceived second in doubles, and Dawn Washington and Anne Witty received honor­ able mention in doubles.

According to Dawn Wash­ ington, “We were a family built on success and friend­ ship.”

Girls’ Soccer Although technically the girls varsity soccer team didn’t have a winning season with a record of 3-12-1, the girls won in different ways.

Judge John Kessler became the new head coach with Tom Elm er and K ristin Moss as assistants. This year, under the senior leadership of Jen n y R ion, R adha Reddy, Allison Baines, Jessi­ ca Siebenthaler, and Ling Lin, the girls sharpened their soccer skills. The team had several successful halves and for the first time played Cen­ terville. By far the most ex­ citing game was a 3-2 win against Carlisle. The MVP for this year went to Jenny Rion and the MIP was Julie Huey. The girls soccer pro­ gram has a bright future with a strong core of ninth and tenth graders.

Boys’ Varsity Soccer

Miami Valley boys’ soccer team had a very inconsistent season that showed in their record of 7-10-1. The team had strong leadership with eight returning seniors and three returning juniors. The team’s strong potential for a winning season was handi­ capped by many major inju­ ries to starters. Jamie Jones was asked to fill a difficult position of starting goalie af­ ter Mike Lofino suffered a broken hand. Darrin Bright earned one of the M.V.P. awards while suffering from knee injuries while Thomas Huber earned the other. Dar­ rin and Thomas earned posi­ tions on the 1st and 2nd team all-area teams. Jeremy R id d ell, a new stu d en t, earned honorable mention.

Other seniors were Mike Lo­ fino, Nelson Reid, David In­ body, David Montgomery, Hugh Pabarue, Matt Taylor, and E ddie M obley. The team’s potential was shown in their second place earning at the Maumee Valley tour­ nament in a 5-4 loss to Greenhills.

Boys’ Varsity Basketball

1989-1990 was a year of change and success for boys’ b ask etb a ll. N ew varsity coach, Jim W end lin g, brought an up-tempo, enthu­ siastic attitude to a growing team that managed a .500, 9W-9L record during a tough season. This year’s team set a new record for 35.3 rebounds per game. B est Offensive Player, David Young, aver­ aged almost 20 points per game and Best Defensive Player, Lloyd Huber, joined David in the ranks of the MVS In tern ation al A llTourney Team. Scott Wein­ stein, Darrin Bright, Darrell Jones, and Josh Lewis pro­ vided consistency and expe­ rience for the team. The most exciting game was the 60-43 win over Wellington, during which the entire team scored and contributed to a great effort. Coach W en­ dling, when asked about his new post, replied, “I just love coaching!” The accomplish­ ments of the boys’ Varsity Basketball team in Coach Wendling’s debut year point to more great things ahead!

Girls’ Varsity Basketball

Coach Bill Glisson was very satisfied with the 198990 Girls’ Varsity Basketball team. Although the team managed a 6-11 record over­ all, the season showed a growth in confidence and play ability that will defi­ nitely continue in the future.

The highlight of the year was the game against Maumee Valley on Spirit Weekend, which was a great effort by all. Coach Glisson attributed the girls’ occasional lapses to a lack of balanced scoring, but praised the senior effort put forth by experienced players such as Lisa Cawley, Jessica Siebenthaler, and Jenny Rion. Lisa was select­ ed for the all-tourney team at the Maumee Valley Invi­ tational Tournament this year. Congratulations to the girls for a successful season of teamwork, and best of luck next year! The enthusiasm and maturing talent of the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors promises more good things to come!

Boys’ JV Basketball

What a watershed year for Junior Varsity Boys’ Basket­ ball! In Coach Ferraro’s first year as coach, the team gar­ nered a winning record of 8W-5L. Coach Ferraro, prob­ ably the only female coach of boys’ basketball in the re­ gion, put together an out­ standing team that played as a unit — not as individuals.

The most exciting moment in the season was definitely that last-second win against H illc r e st, w hen Packy Moran (later winner of team leadership award) put in a clutch hoop in the final sec­ onds! Freshman Darren Da­ vis led the team offensively during the season. Everyone contributed to the success of the team, and honed their skills in preparation for next year. Congratulations to the team and to Miss Ferraro for a great debut year!

Lower School Basketball Fifth grade boys basket­

ball, coached by Susan Breen and Bruce Huntsbarger, was a new addition. Fans and players were impressed with their growth and develop­ ment and good sportsman­ ship. Captains Ricky Bullock and Brent Carroll showed good leadership qualities and worked well with the group.

The sixth grade boys team under new coach, M itch Emoff, improved a great deal by playing as a team. Now that they have more self con­ fidence and more knowledge of the game they hope to im­ prove their record of 7-9.

The fifth and sixth grade g ir ls’ b a sk etb a ll team , coached by Susan Breen and Bruce Huntsbarger, had a 54 record that was a product of great teamwork and coop­ eration. Excellent leadership qualities were shown by cap­ tains Josie Cleveland and Minda Hook. Thanks goes to Scott Ervin, student assis­ tant.

Boys’ Varsity Tennis Congratulations to Vin Romeo and his team ending with a record of 15-5. Neil Single and Thomas Huber both received Team Players while Matt Renner earned Most Improved Player. Mr. Romeo got a special treat when his win against Fair­ mont, 3-2, was his 500th ca­ reer win. An impressive ac­ com p lish m ent was when Neil and Thomas won dou­ bles at the M.V.S. Invita­ tional and at the Findlay In­ dividuals. David Young and Lloyd Huber were named All-Area 2nd team and Josh Lewis and Thomas Huber were named Honorable Men­ tion All-Area Doubles. The team this year was ranked #4 A/AA in the Dayton Area.

Baseball T his year the baseball team had many new addi­ tio n s. T he coach, Chad Speight, added new spice to the game along with three seniors who chose baseball over tennis. Although their I-7 record was a losing one, it did not reflect their accom­ plishments. The best game was a 3-0 loss to Bradford, the #5 team in the confer­ ence where Jamie Jones held II-4 hits. The seniors pro­ vided helpful attributes to the team with Nelson Reid having the best arm on the team and pitching well. Dar­ rin Bright helped keep the team spirited, and Hugh Pabarue, the four-year letter winner, provided outstand­ ing leadership.

Softball The 1990 Girls’ Softball season was a success not in the number of wins, but in the dedication and participa­ tion of the players. In the Upper School only nine girls participated, not enough for a team. The Middle School was included for the first tim e th is year and five eighth graders elected to par­ ticipate. Despite the young age of the team members and inexperience, players were able to develop skills quick­ ly. Softball finished the sea­ son with an incredible win against Woodrow Wilson, 175, in 5 innings. This season provided a learning experi­ ence for all players and also a solid base for next year.
