The first day of school was again a time of reunion of old and new friends alike. The year started off with

the familiar introduction to the once empty school hallways and the annual lap sit that was lost in a tumble of

laughter.

1. Seniors — only one year left! 2. Um, Um, Good: Student Body President Packy Moran with Vanita Kumar and Secretary-Treasurer Roy Banerjee. 3. Mio Odamoto, Eunice Kim, Dawn Washington and Chelsea Wall. 4. This is the easy part! 5. Renee Dabbas, Steph anie Tortorici, Sarah Corral, Josh ua Allen and Ben Manuel are at work on the first day. 6. I've been waiting all summer for this — So nia and Joshua Nizny.

Once the year began and the gener- year proceed with the usual routine; al anticipation passed, M iam i Valley homework, students and faculty rushSchool settled back and watched the ing to classes, and the warmth of

friendship. Although buckling down was a little difficult, once again we managed to do it.

1. Well, at least they look good. 2. Do I really have to give a speech? 3. Mean Joe Marine Wendling has a slight drinking problem! 4. Is this an all-girls school? 5. Just hanging around. 6. Heather Davis is all smiles.

Halloween Every Halloween, Lower School students dress up in costumes and parade through Upper and Lower School hallways. This year there were devils and unicorns, Indian princesses and hula girls, cheerleaders and race car drivers, even a spider and a box of crayons. Grades six down to EC Juniors joined in, along with teachers and staff, as they promenaded around to show off their clever disguises. Later that afternoon, the students par足 ticipated in their annual classroom Halloween parties, which had the usual ghoulish treats.

Giggles, happiness, all around silliness and serious足 ness characterize the Lower School. Once again M iam i Valley succeeded in expanding the number of activi足 ties available for students. They conducted the annual Halloween parade as well as something new known as French Day. The students always have fun in con足 structing the future with Legos as well as learning about the real future with computers. When life gets tough for these youngsters at school, they enjoy play足 ing sports for a relaxing tension breaker.

Even when the Rams were not doing so well, the cheerleaders kept the spir it. They motivated the team to "Go! Go! Go!" Over all, the Ram cheerlead ers had a good season with all of their hard work paying off. They had fun and were able to bond. At the winter sports banquet, Rahel Kiffle received an award for the Most Improved Cheerleader and Rebeccah Quam re ceived the Most Spirited Cheerleader award.

Hallways were unusually creative, the seniors created “Wonderland", the ju n iors, "Under the Sea", and the freshmen, "Oprah W in frey Show". Along with the traditional red and blue and formal dress-up days, Spirit Week included dressin-the-dark day and opposite-sex day. The surprise of the week was the eighth graders first-place skit, a battle of the jocks and the nerds. The can drive went well, and basketball attendance was high. Finally as Spirit Week came to an end with the highly anticipat ed basketball tournament, the winners were an nounced . . . (the envelope please) . . . Congratulations to the class of 1991.

W h e n F ilm m a k in g started, the students were all familiar with some of the fundamen tals of film, but after this four-week Immer sion, students were leav ing the theatres com m e n tin g on the techniques of direction, the angles, and the edit ing. Students viewed over twenty-five mov ies, checking out the af te rn o o n box office smash each Friday. Stu dents studied master of suspense, Hitchcock, The Godfather series and actor M a r lo n Brando. The students created and filmed their own movie — a thriller entitled Psycho V.

Immersion According to the stu dents of the Photogra phy Inmmersion, taking pictures is not as easy as saying 'Cheese.' This group of eight students were exposed to the vari ous technical aspects of picture taking and the development of their own film. Mrs. Rion, once again, generously taught her own secrets of taking quality photos and the prime locations to take them. At the Im mersion Open House, the students displayed their talented skills with a variety of shots.

Immersion Swamp Study Immer sion was an interesting and action-packed m onth. The beautiful scenery was a highhght as the group traveled through Georgia and Florida. The most excit ing event was a tropical storm. The tents began to blow away while the group used new skills to handle the situation. Hiking and bike rides were taken which kept the kids, and adults, in good shape. Overall, the trip was a success and everyone learned a great deal about the ecology of the swamp. 1.

VISION CONTRAS

\ Lloyd Huber

Dawn Washington spent her four week Immersion as an observer of the financial department for the city school district of Dayton. Dawn worked in the Dayton Board of Education Building located downtown. With the help of Dr. Don Oldges and Mrs. Shirley Strange, Dawn was able to get a first hand view of how financial deci sions were made. She also helped to develop a book which contained budget requests for all departments in the Dayton City School District. Dawn was also fortunate *1 enough to attend meetings in which many of the finan Jil cial problems of the city school district were discussed if and where solutions could be made.

Dawn Washington

Ophthalmolgy, a branch of medical science dealing with the structure, functions, and diseases of the eye, and orthopedics, the correction and prevention of skeletal deformities, was the focus of Lloyd Huber's independent study. The first two weeks found Lloyd studying with Dr. Bullock and his associate Dr. Purdy, both opthalmologists. While there, Lloyd observed several surgical pro cedures and looked into patients' eyes via a high-power microscope. During the second two weeks, he watched several surgeries with Dr. Q uinn, an orthopedic doctor. From this study Lloyd began to admire the stamina, intel ligence, and devotion which the doctors had in their field.

Have you ever been in a room with a murderer? Well, Kara Nixon did that this year during her internship with the law firm Apperson, Crump, Duzane, and Maxwell located in Memphis, Tennessee. Kara performed a variety of tasks from making copies to attending actual court cases. Kara not only learned from the firm, but also contributed to the firm's success through her dedicated research. Kara remarked that she learned a lot about the field of law, and confirmed her hope of becoming a law yer.

Kara Nixon

Matt Cleary Don't you wish you could fix your own car rather than take it to a mechanic? And don't you wish you could be part of the excitement of a race team? Well, Matt Cleary now knows how to do just that, especially if your car happens to be a production-based Oldsmobile Calais Quad 442. Matt worked with Paul and Karl Hacker, past champion drivers at the series in 1989. Matt learned to jack up cars, take off tires, change suspension struts and put on anti-roll bars. His team went to a race in Florida and came in second.

Doug Kim spent his four weeks of Immersion working as an architectural intern for Brandenburg Architects, Inc. in Centerville, As he had no experience in drafting, most of his activity was limited to running errands. How ever, he seemed to learn a surprising amount about the trade — how an architect must comply with specific safety codes, how an architect has to design a building under a limited budget. When asked about his intern ship, he says, "I learned a great deal from my experience and it convinced me to pursue this field of study in the future."

Douglas Kim

Amelia Fuhrer Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a large museum? Thanks to the independent immersion option, Amelia Fuhrer was able to find out. During an internship with Pam Houk at the Dayton Art Institute, Amelia spent most of her time working in the Experiencenter activity room which showed an exhibit from Reggio Emilia showing an approach to early child hood education. Children came in for tours of the Exper iencenter and for a workshop in the activity room. Ame lia enjoyed learning about the philosophy of the educational approach and watching children use art as a learning tool.

Just what does a minister do all day? If you have ever asked this question, talk to John Czarnota. This year for his Immersion he interned with Glenn Oswald, director of Miami Valley Outdoor Ministries and counseled twelve young men in a first communion retreat. He spent the next two weeks with Pastor Bengson of Bethel Lu theran Church. He participated in the planning of many church events. A sermon was given as his final project. The fact that the ministry is not a competitive industry is just one of the many things John learned. He had to admit in the end that despite the hard work, it had been fun.

Anne Witty Did you ever want to switch places with a teacher? Well, that is what Anne W itty did for her Immersion. Anne worked as a student aid for a fifth grade class at Dr. John Hole School. Anne had many responsibilities. Her job involved observing the class, grading papers, reading to the class, helping individual students, giving spelling tests and spelling bees, working with literature groups, running the Odyssey of the M ind meetings, and actually teaching a few classes. Anne also wrote a case study of an individual student. Teaching was a very unique experi ence for Anne, and she will always remember her 1991 independent Immersion.

The second week the class went to Philadelphia and Pennsylvania where they visited In dependence Hall and the Liberty Bell, a PhiladelphiaMontreal baseball game, the Ben Franklin Science In stitute, an Amish farm to see how people survive with out electricity, a school, and on the way home everyone enjoyed a stop in the chocolate capital, Hershey, Penn sylvania.

7th Grade Project Week

The seventh grade class closed the year with a twoweek study of the two river cities, Dayton and Cincin足 nati. Their study included Native Americans who lived in Ohio, the movement of white settlers into the Northwest Territory, and the influence of rivers and canals on the development of the cities. Highlights of the program included field trips to several local his足 torical sites, guest speakers and a three day trip to Cincinnati.

During the 1990 Girls' Var sity Soccer season, there was a new face on the soccer fields, Mr. Ken Mosier. Ken Mosier, who teaches at Brookville High School, drove 30 m in utes every afternoon to MVS in order to coach the Girls' Varsity Soccer team into a victorious season, which he was close to achieving. The girls had one of their most successful seasons, receiving second place in the M iam i Valley School tournament, losing to Belmont and play ing an aggressive year. The MVP of the year was the cap tain, Robin M inturn, who scored her first goal of the en tire four years she has been playing as fullback. M IP was newcomer and senior, A u tumn Kosewic, a most deserv ing candidate. Congratula tions on a successful year!

SOMETIMES “ If times are hard, and you feel blue, Think of the others, worrying too: Just because your trials are many, Don’t think the rest of us don’t have any. Life is made up of smiles and tears, Joys and sorrows, mixed with fears; And though to us it seems one-sided. Trouble is pretty well divided. If we could look into every heart We’d find that each one has its part; And those who travel Fortune’s road Sometimes carry the biggest load.” via Birmingham, AL
