W e are fortunate to be able to preserve the past. And preserve it in many ways. The cam era itseif records brief images â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vinyl discs recreate sound â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Celluloid film provides history in motion. Video tap e holds time in place And Gutenberg's presses have becom e instrumental â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Preserving words and images of the world each day.

Through recorded history Through the preserving of these memories W e relive the lives of hundreds of others . . . Others who first dreamed And then believed, believed in themselves And then finally achieved, for the benefit of all.

From the histories and lives already preserved From this diversity of talent See the challenges and their beginnings Use them as guidelines to choose individual goals Education is a foundation for limitless growth. Education is not just an academ ic life,. One of learning and memorization â&#x20AC;&#x201D; But a chance to find yourself A chance to be with others .

A period of joy and friendship Of pain and patience A time of endurance, excitement. And accomplishment.

Realize you're only going around once in life. And it won't be easy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; And realize it before it's passed you by. Life's too great a feeling not to experience And life is far too valuable to forget. Bois Berschbach

During the fall of 1979, the Miami Valley School fielded its first golf team . This year. Miss Jackson was the coach. The five man team com peted in three matches. Two of the matches were against Cin足 cinnati Country Day and Oakwood. The third m atch was sec足 tional play. C.C.D. played M.V.S. on our adopted home court. Community Golf Course, and be at us quite handily. The match against Oak wood and the sec足 tionals were played under incli足 m ate conditions (hurricane and flood). Oakwood beat M.V.S. on their home course. The Dayton Country Club. For the first time, at the sectionals, the M.V.S. golf team didn't com e in last. The team cam e in 15th out of 17 teams. All in all, the golf team had an enjoyable season and we learned that a team can have fun without winning. After all, how can you not have fun when Miss Jackson is the coach?

Although outnumbered and outsized a t every game, the junior varsity soccer team perservered and becam e a re spectable, hustling squad by the end of the season. This year's team v»/as led by sopho mores Richard Taylor and Da vid Saidel. While its record does not indi ca te it, the team was success ful in its sports endeavor. The major accomplishment of the year cam e in scoring a goal against Centerville, the first one by any team all year. Con gratulations, team , on a fine effort I If y o u 're w o n d e rin g why you've never seen these great action shots before, it's be cause they're all posed!

The boys' varsity soccer team can best be summed up in one word: determ ina足 tion. Led by seniors Rob Miller, Bill Garrett, Todd Revere, Talvin Wilks, Gary Lyons, and Mike Rice, the varsity recorded a fine 9-8 record including a third place finish in the Maumee Invitational. In what was supposed to be a rebuilding year, the varsity, starting three sopho足 mores and a freshman along with a flock of juniors, reeled off a six game winning streak. This fe a t was achieved largely be足 cause of the varsity's "silent defense," a strategy em ployed in order to baffle the opponent's offense. With seven starters returning, the varsity should have the nucleus of a strong 1980 squad.

From a winless record tw o years ago, the girls' varsity soccer team progressed to a 6-5-5 mark this season. In a season filled with promising events, the team beat Beavercreek in the first annual M.V.S. soccer tournament. The girls finished sec足 ond to a strong Oakwood squad. With only one senior graduating, Keta Cowan, the girls' varsity team is assured of a powerhouse squad next year. W atch out Centerville; here com e the lady Rams!

More than just another winning season ended for the girls' tennis team last fall. The girls who began four years ago with Coach Romeo as ninth graders are now seniors. Four years of building a strong and impressive team was over. Susan Rudd, first singles since ninth grade, was seeded number one in the Sectional Tennis Tournament. She advanced to the Districts before her defeat in the State Semis. Lisa Marsh, seeded number 3 in the Sectionals, fought her way to the Sectional Finals before losing. The combination of Lisa Bader and Lisa Baggott also gained first seed of the Sectionals. The team of Cindy Stein and Claudia Levin, who were seeded third, advanced to the Districts. Lynne Krumholz and Elizabeth Ailing played admirably as well. The entire team played very well in the tournament and durÂ ing the season, ending with a record of 14-1. It was an exciting and impressive last four years for girls tennis, and with Vin Romeo as coach, the team will surely build again . .. and win.

Throughout the years, M.V.S. has been known for its strong tennis teams. Past stars such as Michael Wiener, Mitch Emoff, and the Tsais live on in the memory of each freshman, hopeful of earning a coveted spot in the top seven. This year's team car ried on the reputation of its predecessors. With tw o freshman and four sophomores in the starting lineup, the year which should have been a rebuilding one turned into a championship season. Highlights were abun dant. The team compiled a 15-2 record and won the M.V.S. Invitational Tournament. Eu gene Hogan won 26 matches in a row be fore dropping a tough round in the State Quarterfinals. Mike Economou whipped a previously undefeated third singles player. Chuck Miller and Michael Rice compiled a 19-3 record in advancing to the District Se mifinals. Although Chuck and Michael will not be back next year, a fine crop of eighth grad ers and the returning lettermen insure that the M.V.S. tennis tradition will live on in style, The boys' tennis team is, without a doubt, the team of the past, present, and future.

Although their record doesn't reflect it, the members of the Junior Varsity Basketball team were a scrappy, hustling bunch. Led by senior Larry Young, sophomores J.R. Bockoven and Billy Robinowitz, and fresh足 man Danny Klein, the team gave up a mini足 mum of four inches per man each game. Nevertheless, under the coaching of John Vondenboom, the team plyed tenaciously throughout the year. Congratulations on a fine season and good luck next year.

Hampered by last season's graduates, the M.V.S. boys' varsity basketball team started slowly. Nevertheless, the team hung tough, winning four of its last eleven games. Led by the outside shooting of David Jones and Doug Freemon and the inside game of Rich ard Taylor, the varsity began to show bril liance in the middle of the year by crushing Xenia Wilson. With Brian Tweedle and Chuck Miller rounding out the starting five, the varsity proved to be quick and tena cious, although decidedly smaller in stature than their opponents. Seniors Doug Freemon, Bill Garrett, Gary Ly ons, and Larry Young, along with sopho more Chuck Miller, have played their last games for M.V.S. and graduate into the ranks of alumni this year. Fortunately, three starters and several junior varsity members remain to carry on the M.V.S. basketball tradition.

The team of the winter. Coached by Bill Glisson and led by a starting corps of Keta Cowan, Cindy Stein, Lisa Baggott, Debbie Liebowitz and Elizabeth Ailing, this team conquered adversity in the form of injury to record a much improved 7-8 record. Although the team suffered another opening round Sectional loss this season, the ignominy of a blowout was avoided in losing to fourth seed Twin Valley South 44-23. Despite the fa c t that seniors Lisa Bader, Keta Cowan, Julia Dingley and Cindy Stein are graduating, the girls' varsity basketball team remains the brightest winter hope for M.V.S. fans in the future.

To whom it may concern: I have w atched M.V.S. grow over the years and would like to commend you on a recent addition to your sports program. Though your tennis team is superb, I was pleased to see a Miami Valley track team com 足 peting in spring meets the past tw o years. 1 was im足 pressed by the team 's enthusiasm and persistence in its infantile stages. Of course, determination and dedication pay off in the long run. Congratulate David Cohen and J.R. Bockoven on their fine Sectional performances. Also congratulate Kathy Mobley, who becam e your first State Champion running in the 100 m eter dash. Finally, commend seniors Bill Garrett, Cindy Stein, and Talvin Wilks for their tw o years of track participation. Signed, An enthusiastic follower

This spring, M.V.S. launclied its first successful season of Girls' Varsity Softball. The team con足 sisted mostly of girls who had never played the sport before, and a t their first practice, an on-looker could easily tell. The "Bad News Rams" began their season by playing a double-header a t Middletown. The first gam e resulted in a surpris足 ing victory followed by a close loss in the second. They finished their 4 games season a t home with another d o u b le -h e a d e r against Middletown, Without doubt, this 3-1 season shows that M.V.S. Softball has a most promising future.

The seventh and eighth grade, junior varsity and varsity basketbaii teams were aii cheered and en thusiastically supported by six delightful and ex c e p tio n a lly e n e rg e tic seventh grade girls. The girls began the fall practicing tw o nights a week prior to the basket ball season, then partici pating a t games tw o to three nights a week. Whew. Because this par ticular group of interested and determined young ladies is young, it is hoped that they will use the coming years to develop skills and encourage oth ers to "Back the Rams." and demand a following in all athletic events at the Miami Valley School.

AFS — Julia Dingley

When I first cam e to Miami Valley, I was a little scared and a little lonely. The only people I knew were those I m et a t soccer cam p and I was uncer tain o f w hat was ahead of me. Since then I've m ade many wonderful friends and have grown a great deal through my experience. AFS gave me the change to do something I've always dream ed o f doing but never thought I'd have the chance. I've traveled halfway around the world, lived with a beautiful family who were willirig to a c c e p t me as part of their family, and made some o f the best friends a person could ever have, Naturally, it wasn't d l peaches and cream. Therg w ere moments when 1wished I were back home in" Australia — times when the load g o t to o heavy pr when I didn't feel a part of things. But when the whole year is taken into perspective, the good times and happy feelings far outweigh the bddj^.; Now my year's almost over and I hate to think o f having to say goodbye. You've all been so gener ous with your tinne and friendship ond helped me to feel w elcom e right from the start. I love you all very much and I'# always treasure the memories you've given me. Thank you and I hope to see you all agairii someday. Love, Julia

The Superheroes

W hat do the names Motman, Olfwoman, Forensicsman, IE, 2AC, Blunderboy, ML Woman junior, and Prosteglandens have in common? If you guessed th a t they are superheroes, you wouldn't be far from the truth. These are the code names of the MVS speech team superstars, as a group the most successful (hardware to person) team in the state of Ohio. Invented on a road trip to Toledo in late January, the names serve as a cohesive bond to a team which perpetually has the least number of entrants in tournaments. Yet this same team , Hiving by its m otto in being "small in number, but mighty in b a ttle ," made a name for itself a t the State Tournament a t Ohio University this year. C oached by Tom Wilson (Motman) and Florence Krahling (Olfwoman) the team was led a t the start of the year by state qualifiers Talvin Wilks (IE) and Kathy Mobley (ML Woman Junior). The debate teams asserted themselves after winter break with varsity members Steve Bailey (Forensicsman), Michael Rice (2AC), Bill G arrett, and Sam Staley providing the leadership. The junior varsity, composed of Stan Flagel (Blunderboy), Todd Revere (Prosteglandens), Lynn Frydman, Larry Young, and Roger Meike, showed tha t MVS should be a power for years to come. In the State Tournament, the MVS superheroes rose to their biggest challenge. Although ML Woman Junior's exceptional season ended without her qualifying for the quarterfinals, the other five superheroes took home â&#x20AC;&#x153; hardw are" for their achievements. Bailey and Rice beat state champion Beechwood in a regular round on the way to leading the varsity debate team to a third place finish. (Other debate winners included G arrett and Staley). Wilks, leading early in prose and poetry, eventually took home the second place award. Beat that. Superman!

The 1980 Student government was the first in Miami Valley's history to sponsor the fruit sale pre viously run by the Parent's Association. With the profits from the sale a foosball table was pur chased and the pop and juice machines sup ported. The caucus of students put their heads together and invented — Anthing Goes Day — a fund raiser whose proceeds went exclusively to the United Way. In a display of unity by the stu dent body, a Clean up the Commons Day was declared and a Saturday spent painting and cleaning. Finally, in a display of true talent the student body and faculty participated in a Spring Recital — a dedication to the arts. This student government though sometimes unorganized and very seldom in the book store, accomplished a great deal and leaves a solid legacy for the stu dent government of 1981 m

Beyond the painted word lies a meaning, a feeling, an emotion. There can be no limitations on creativity. One must examine his world uniquely, with sensitivity. And one must do the same to the world of others â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Feel, Examine. Submerge oneself totally in Aesthesio. Claudia Levin

Ski Club If you told someone in Colorado that you ski in Dayton, Ohio, they'd probably laugh in your face. But even if Dayton isn't a snow haven, d o n't let it fool you. With a little help from modern technology. Sugar Creek Ski Hills manages to stay open despite our rather uneventful winters. And somehow M.V.S. students g e t out there at least a couple of times a month during the winter season. Unlike the snow, M.V.Sers continue to increase in quantity year after year. Now enter足 ing its fourth year, the Ski Club meets regularly to pray for snow. Hey! Is anybody up there listen足 ing?!

Working on Yearbook this year was definiteiy a different type of experience for ail w lio were involved. There were many staff nnennbers whose appearance in the Yearbook room was solely a result of a wrong turn, or for the pur pose of smiling in front of a camera. Then too, there were several very diligent workers this year, and with a little yelling from Claudia, the book somehow g o t itself together. One couldn't call yearbook work an enjoyable ex perience, but it was definitely an enlightening one. And, in the end, all will probably agree tha t it was worth it. But thank God it's overl

Immersion, that bastion of students' rights, burst on the scene this year in a true flourish. Long recog nized by MVSers as the end of the dreaded win ter term, it was especially appreciated this season. Taking independent pro grams that spread them as far os Boston and C u e rn a v a c a , M exico, and delving into such fields as law, medicine, and business, this year's student used Immersion resources to their fullest p o te n t ia l. S tu d e n ts played rock music, inter viewed pedestrians, and chatted informally with Judge Rubin. The regular course offerings such as Film m aking a n d The World of the Child were characteristically excel lent. Michael Rice

Michelle David and I trav eled to C uernava ca, Mexico to attend a Span ish language and culture institute. Our school day consisted of grammar, lecture, and conversa tion. we lived with Mexi can families and mode many friends. Almost daily, we rendezvoused in a nearby park conversing, and being entertained with guitar playing and singing. Other times were spent touring the city. The experience was en joyable, worthwhile, and educational. Jennie Sum mer

My Independent Study at Children's Medical Center p ro v e d b e n e fic ia l. I learned a great deal about myself and my c a 足 pacity for independence. I explored the career of medicine through work in neo-natalogy to discover if I had made the right c a 足 reer choice. I also w anted to learn as much about the babies and medicine as possible. Jackie Moore

I took o course in Transcen I decided to take TM and dental Meditation (TM). TM Yoga because I had heard is the best way to renew so much from people who your body and your mind had tried them th a t I be from external pressures, cam e curious to explore learned the TM technique them myself. So, now I medi from a very well informed ta te every day and prac guru. I m editated every tice Yoga tw ice a week, day, once in the morning and I can truthfully say tha t I and once in the evening have never felt be tter in my throughout Immersion. I kept life. In the words of my Yoga a daily journal and read teacher, ” OM, Shante, Om, books on TM. I also a tte n d Shante, Shante, Shante ed some great Yoga classes Shante."

For my Immersion I chose "W orld of the Child." I spent 3 days a week a t a nursery school working and observing the chil dren. The other 2 days I spent in class or on field trips. I learned to apply the child psychology I learned in class to the children I worked with. It was a new and different experience for me and I feel that this program is very worthwhile to stu dent developm ent. Lisa Baggott

I worked with autistic chil dren. As I looked into one of the kid's eyes, wonder ing where he was or what he was thinking, I saw my self. I w anted so to con nect them with the "re a l" world, but realized that I could not provide the m a g ica l link. Through these very special chil dren I learned to take each day a t a time and to look a t things in a dif ferent light. Amy Bloom

Playing sidewalk games, designing costumes, belly dancing, building with clay, and film making. These activities, in addi tion to many others, pro vided an educational di version for Lower School students during their last week of school. As al w ays, Spring Interest Week was a success. Teachers, as well as stu dents, enjoyed this pro gram and are enthusias tic about its continuation in the future. This special week presents a wel com e change of pace for everyone.

Halloween There is a night when ghosts give Fright to ail the peopie of the worid. There is a night for gobiins. There is a night for witches. There is a night for ghosts of the graveyard To com e to us to have a sip of brew That witches made when the taii grass grew. Brad Hughes

In an effort to unite the MVS Upper School stu足 dent body, an unprecedented pancake break足 fast was held on the same day that MVSers "dressed in the dark." Although there were a few culinary problems a t the beginning (too little fire, too much smoke, and lots of laughter) no one died from the pancakes and some even said they were delicious. The havoc that reigned throughout the day was a welcom e relief and students took advantage of their freedom to mingle and converse and to laugh a t their out足 landish outfits. Dress in the Dark Pancake Day was a wonderful break from the everyday school rou足 tine.

The Me Nobody Knows The fall play. The Me Nobody Knows, is based on an anthology of personal writings by the ghetto-bound youth of America. The writings were often angry, hurt, frustrated, and moving. They were certainly more than a little removed from the life of the over age student a t Miami Valley. However, the cast did an excellent job, often surprising even themselves with hidden singing talents. With the help and guid ance of Tom Elmer, Terrie Lillevig, and Daresha Wil son, they sang, danced, and a cte d very successful ly. Cast members included: Keta Cowan, Martha Elbaum, Melinda Frydman, Ginger Heyman, Jackie Moore, Julie Moore, Todd Re vere, Betsy Salisbury, Scott Sholiton, Jennie Summer, Talvin Wilks, and Daresha Wilson.

Cast members were; Elizabeth Ailing, Lisa Bader, Amy Bloom, Crickie Jenks, Lynn Krumholz, Jackie Moore, Todd Myers, Todd Revere, David Saidel, Scott Sholiton, James Steeber, Richard Taylor, Talvin Wilks, and Daresha Wilson.

The cast of the winter play, David and Lisa, went into performance with only 2 full cast re hearsals and more than a few nagging doubts under their belts. The play dealt with the every day problems of tw o emotionally disturbed youths as they grew to trust themselves and the world. Talvin Wilks and Amy Bloom acte d the tw o leading roles with sensitive intelligence and in sight. James Steeber portrayed Alan Swinford, David's psychiatrist, with maturity and compas sion. Also, the supporting cost of students, thera pists, teachers, and parents did a fine job.

Special Activities Special Activities. This heading only partially de scribes the many types of diversions which kept M.V.S. students from going insane from the mon otony of studying. This year, v»/e frequently short ened daily schedules in order to widen our hori zons and relieve some pressures. Often we were spectators listening to guest speakers or w atch ing performances. The school honored Martin Lu ther King with a special program in which both students and a speaker from the Urban League presented thoughts and information about this great man. On the lighter side, (a t least on the surface). The First Street Players quite openly confronted us with those meaningful passages of life in a lively and enjoyable play.

However, the M.V.S. community was often a play in itself. The Upper School put on their masks one day and miraculously remained quiet while they joined a mime circus. Secret friends cam e out from hiding during one special assembly. In an other, the male faculty was humiliated by the Boys' Varsity Basketball team, There were also private affairs such as a Latin Festival which had the spice of "Latin" America tossed in as well. And the list continues, on and on and on ... May it continue to do so forever!

Spring Fair Miami Valley students, and even their parents and teachers, will celebrate almost anything, even sea足 sons. The Spring Fair is one such celebration, and each May, this traditional gala event makes an appear足 ance on the school grounds. (This year, they even got tricky and changed its location). Despite the rather gloomy weather, the Spring Fair somehow manages to supply its own sunshine with characters such as that cute little lady with the baggy pants and pockets full of goodies (Mrs. Cummings). And of course. Spring Fair also has that ever-popular dunking booth. (The teachers find out quickly how their students really feel about them i) The gomes, the food, the people, the clowns, the smiles and those sexy Blue Moons ... What would we ever do without Spring Fair?
