That Was Then . . . This Is Now

The ValleyThat was then . . . this is now. It

sounds like a cliche' but it's true. For twenty-five years life has changed at the Miami Valley School — in many ways. The most obvious changes a t "The Valley" were the early facility changes that trans­formed the school from a tiny bar­racks to the present location on Denise Drive. Beginning with the Up­per Class additions, and culminating with the new Lower School wing, the school's outward appearance has certainly been updated and im­proved, to supply our student body with the fine facilities we sometimes take for granted. Once requiring uniforms and gym tunics, the dress of the student body has changed with the times. Fencing, field hock­ey, and lacrosse faded away, to be replaced by other exciting athletic activities. The population at The Valley has multiplied, but the class sizes remain comfortably small and relaxed. Changes in administration, faculty, and students continue to reflect the diversity and uniqueness of the school. Throughout all of these developments and year-to- year changes, however, several qualities remain constant. The social and academ ic atmosphere at The Valley continues to be supportive and caring. The thoughtful, knowl­edgeable faculty and staff make the challenging academic environ­ment an exciting part of every stu­dent's growth and education. With this special anniversary issue of Suc­cessions. we look back on the suc­cessful tw e :’ty -fifth year of the sch':-'Ol's -litiorv but at the same tif; ; -e : ;’d to more good

The PeopleIn twenty-five years of operation

one can run through the faces of the students at MVS like a kaleido­scope of people. The names, just os the years, blur together; yet each person is a port of the unique history that is Miami Valley. Each person that has attended, taught at, or vis­ited Miami Valley deserves to be in the spotlight as the school cele­brates its twenty-fifth anniversary. For what would a school be without people, without children to shout with laughter, or to cry with disap­pointment, or without teachers to light the dark pathway to maturity and education? It is often said, "What stories these walls could tell, if only they could speak." If we would only stop and listen, we could hear the stories of times past. Would they tell us of boisterous crowds cheering on the team or of silent classrooms filled with children study­ing? Although progress and devel­opment are the main focuses of the school years, a moment should be taken to recognize and honor those who have had a part in the past of MVS. Teachers, alumni, and present students should all be saluted for their diligence in creating the envi­ronment here at Miami Valley that we all cherish.

The TimesFads change, fashions change,

times change. In twenty-five years, the Miami Valley School has wit­nessed many such changes. It has seen fashion pass through such trends as go-go boots and mini­skirts, to bell-bottoms and tie-dye shirts, and finally to the styles of the eighties. This decade has borrowed from all others in creating its style: white canvas Keds from the sixties, along with mini-skirts, and tie-dyes from the seventies. Fads and pas­times too have changed. Swallow­ing goldfish and watching Uncle Mil- tie on a black and white TV have been replaced by video games and watch ing Thirtysomething on a hand-held, color TV with a built-in VCR. One hobby though has not changed, driving around in the new car. But, even this has seen changes in terms of style. Now the "hip" cars are streamlined with cassette or CD players while the cars of yesterday had tail fins and AM radios. The mu­sic heard coming from these various devices too has changed. While parents used to complain about the Beatles and Elvis, today they cover their ears to the sounds of U2 and Bon Jovi. One only has to see the past of Miami Valley to see all these changes. Yet through the fleeting trends, MVS has been changeless in its pursuit of excellence in educa­tion.

started the year with the intention of start­ing traditions in every aspect of the school. By involving the whole Upper School in most of our activities, we have become closer to each grade. The Bow la ram o was a great success along with the Toys for Tots. The Class of '89 also broke the school class record for the can drive with over 1,450 cans. The Adopt-a- Fam ily p ro je c t a t Christmas raised over $3,000 In money and clothing for a needy family. We had a sen­ior dinner, senior pho­to exchange, and the e n d -o f- th e -y e a rslumber party for the girls. All these activi­ties hope fu lly will leave an imprint of the Class of '89,

Commencement exercises for the Class of 1989 were held on the 9th of June at Dayton Con­vention Center. This was the first time for graduation to be held at the Convention Center. The eve­ning started off with a slide show and was followed by the Seniors' candle light procession, awarding diplomas, and finally a passing of the torch to the class of 1990.

STUDENT LIFE

Page 30: The Miami Valley School 1989

The year of the drought, the year of the 25th Anniversary, hot, steamy weather, fans blowing rapidly in classrooms where teachers os well as

students fanned themselves, Temperatures ranged from 90 degrees all the way up to the 104 degree

mark at times. All students were glad to return to school and jump bock into their old routines but

were not glad to come back to the heat anddiscomfort.

New Faces At MVSWith every new year at MVS come many new

faces. The 1988-1989 year was no exception as the Upper School alone welcomed about twenty new students. The Lower School, also, experienced an influx of new faces. Along with those from other schools in the area came some students from other countries, such as Japan and Australia. The Upper School extended a special welcome to Laurent Steiert from Switzerland, who was 1988-1989's AFS representative. As the new students became comfortable in their new environment, the "veterans" tried to make all of the new students feel like a part of the MVS family. With all of the new faces come refreshing ideas and perspectives that always add to the wonderful community and diversity at MVS.

Luarent SteiertMy name is Laurent Steiert. I am eighteen

years old. Before I come to the States, I did not know what to expect from my year here. And, I was also confused by the strange names of the cities where I could have been placed. I thought Mimai Valley School was in Miami, Flor­ida. When I finally got to Ohio, the only thing I knew about the state was its name! As the year comes to a close, I can look back on some fond memories of this year. I enjoyed my trips to Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York and liked the opportunity to see other parts of American society. Although I missed the mountains and skiing at home, the friends that I made here successfully overshadowed that. I think I probably enjoyed my Immersion program the most. I had the opportunity to work at the Cincinnati Zoo in an environment which I would never hove found myself in Swit­zerland. I also liked the smaller, family-like a t­mosphere of the school. Overall, my year here provided a chance for me to overcome a lot of the stereotypes of Americans that I had. Most of alt, I would like to thank my host families and all of the teachers and students here at Miami Valley for an unforgettable year.

Robin Heider missed the spring term this year as she chose to embark on a Walkabout. Walkabout is a program offered by the school to seniors for spring term during which a student may design a program around five criteria: adventure, community service, creativity, practical skill or logical inquiry. Robin began her program in the Dayton area volunteering for Habi­ta t for Humanity and at the St. Vincent Hotel, a local homeless shelter. As community service was her focus, she created a photo study of the homeless to fulfill the requirement of creativity. She took sewing lessons as her practical skill and then made sock dolls for needy children. The adventure component came when she ventured to Chicago to live independently and to experience the working of on inner city Habitat for Humanity affiliate. She also researched the roots of Habitat and determined its manner of functioning as an organization. The program culuminated in the completion of the study of Habitat in a paper and through the presentation of all of her other projects to the enthusiastic Walkabout committee.

Hard work and long hours describe the pro­duction of the yearbool<. After the Saturday morning work sessions, the creative brain storming and copy typing, the staff rejoiced at the final product of their labors. This year's ef­forts were certainly rewarded as both the opening and the senior section are in color. This was definitely a banner year under the leadership of editors Ashley Kent and Jennifer Rhee,

The Phloem and Xylem under the leadership of editors Scott Frisby and Debbie Kay was published three times, At Tuesday's meetings students brainstormed about story ideas and editorials. This year the paper received an award of excellence from the Columbia Scho­lastic Press Association for its '87-'88 editions.

Aesthesig, the literary magazine. Is a collection of stories, poems and illustrations done by Miami Valley students. This award- winning creative outlet for students involves a great deal of work each year for Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Krahiing and the staff. This important publication is published at the end of each year.

Student Council under the leadership of president, Evan Preisser, and advisor. Dr. Demaree, hod a busy year. The can drive was the best ever and the excitement of Spirit Week was crowned by a surprise freshman win. The ping-pong table, library . card cataloge and VCR/TV combination were all bought with Student Council funds, and the transition from Robin Heider to Ling Lin as secretary-treasurer went well.

This year the Model UN group participated in several conferences, one at the University of Dayton and one in New York. Our delegation representing Japan won a first place award at UD, and in New York they won an award of distinction as delegates from Sierra Leone. They were able to meet with the real dele­gate to the UN from Sierra Leone while in New York.

1989 proved to be a year of organization and progress for Amnesty International. The bake sale was a great success, and the tie- dyed t-shirt sale proved that everyone is a slave to fashion.

Voices from the High School, the first performance of the year, presented actors and actresses from grades 9-12 in a series of typical hi’gh school situations. The second performance, God's Favorite by Neil Simon, was a parody on the biblical story of Job. The spring musical. The Problem with Penauins, was written by Miami Valley's own Mrs. Peters. The '88-'89 school year provided the students with a wide range of theatrical arts.

MVS Forensics had a great year with the freshmen dominating the ranks. Vanita Kumar took first place at the West Carrollton novice tournament and John Czarnota went to semifinals at the Centerville Varsity Tournament. Ling Lin and Scott Frisby were especially successful in duet acting. Both won numerous awards and qualified for state.1 Robin Heider talks to Allison Baines. 2.

All School Sing Along'Twas the week before break, and all through the

gym — well that doesn't sound quite right. What did sound right was the annual Holiday Sing Along in the Upper School Commons, an event that is always anticapted eagerly by the entire school,The excitement was evident as the Upper Schoolers led their young friends from the Lower School to the Commons, After the crowd settled, Mrs. Etter and Mrs, Peters led the school through many traditional Holiday selections, Robbie Signom dazzled the audience with his Interpretation of "Rudolph” , In another example of tradition, the singing of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" became a shouting match between classes — all in fun. The happy spirit of Christmas and Hanukkah mingled with Holiday Cheer to make the Sing Along a resounding

Spirit Week came to M.V.S. with more excitement, suspense and competition tlian ever. As always, tlie classes competed for tlie coveted

glory that can only come to the Spirit Week Champions. The Food for Friends canned food drive

collected thousands of cans for the area's needy, and M.V.S collected the most cans per capita. This year's categories of dress up included formal day, decade day, dress-in-the-dark day, and red and

blue day. The seniors' gruesome hall, "Nightmare on Denise Dr.," provided competition for the junior time

machine and the sophomore 4077th. The 7th, 8th and 9th grades had impressive displays. The week culminated in the annual skits which incorporated

the class's hallway theme, except for the freshmen who did a hilarious rendition of a faculty meeting.Attendance at the week's athletic competitions

was also judged. The stage was set . . .

The second big surprise of the competition was the fourth place finish of the juniors which hod placed second in previous years. The results were very close. Nothing could dampen the anticipation for the basketball tournament between M.V.S., Kentucky Country Day, Maumee and Greenhiils. Maumee emerged victorious over Kentucky Country Day while M.V.S. took third place. The Spirit Week Dance was a great success. Congratulations to both the Freshmen and the basketball team for making Spirit Week '89 a big success.

Picture waking up, getting ready, and arriving a t an army barracks for school. That was the Marti

School, or the Miami Valley School twenty-five years ago. So much has changed since then. The

campus was moved to its present site many years ago. There have been several additions to the area

through the years. Some of these changes include the SAC and the new hallway in the Lower school.

Teachers and students have come and gone. In twenty-five years Miami Valley has had four

Headmasters, and sixteen graduating classes. One thing though will never change, the quality of

The '1989 Filmmaking Immersion course pro­vided students with an In -dep th , hands-on study of the art of film- making. While viewing several movies, the main focus of study was learning and com­prehending the techni­cal aspects of the film industry. Though field trips included trips to the lo ca l th e a te rs , much of the work was done in school. The highlight of the course was undoubtedly the class's production of Fatman and Sloven.

mmersionThe annual Earth Sci­

ence Immersion began by making its partici­pants more aware of the Earth's phenome­na. The course includ­ed rigorous hours of classroom instruction vary ing from top ics such as erosion, plate- tectonics and weath­er. Twice a week field trips were taken to both local and out-of- town nature sites such as the Dayton Museum of Natural History, the Indianapolis Children's Museum and Glen Hel­en. The highlight of the Immersion was the un­forgettable three-day stay at Camp Kern.

ndividualized Prcgrams

Tracy PetersSpace Academy in Huntsville, Alabama, was a

ten-day program which subjected students to simu­lated astronaut training by using lectures, field trips, simulators and a 24-hour mission. Lectures were of­fered in technology, aerospace or engineering. Field trips included NASA branches around the Space and Rocket Center, Marshall Space Flight Center and the University of Alabama. Very realistic simulators provided the rest of our study which was an exciting background to my future hopes of working in the space program.

I worked at Kewalo Marine Mammal Laboratory in Hawaii with the Atlantic bottlenosed dolphin and with some of the most prominent researchers in dolphin cognition. One experiment that was com­monly performed Involved gestural language. The dolphins have learned through repetition an impres­sive number of signs that are used to communicate with their human trainers. These signs are put to ­gether in a certain grammatical order to form sen­tences. This Earthwatch program impressed upon me the remarkable intelligence of our aquatic mammalian friends.

Laurent SteiertThe Cincinnati Zoo internsliip that I experienced

over Immersion was a great way to study exotic animals. My daily functions at the zoo involved two main parts, In the mornings I prepared food for ani­mals in the African Veldt house which had rhinos, antelopes and zebras. In the afternoons I was in charge of the exotic bird cages, cleaning them and feeding them. Two of my favorite things were car­ing for a baby dyker and watching the birth of a baby antelope. I learned a great deal about the responsibilities of caring for exotic animals through this internship.

For Immersion I chose to do an independent mon­ey management study of the investment business, I worked closely with Mead and Co, and with a stock broker at Cowen and Co, I spent my four weeks learning about where and how to invest money. I learned about the fundamentals of the economy and how investment conversations were run. My final project consisted of an actual stock portfolio using the knowledge and experience that I gained during my internship.

Scott Frisby interned in the office of Congresman Tony Hall, and Nelson Reid interned with Congress­man Michael DeWine. Their Washington, D.C., ex­periences included opening and delivering mail, an­swering te lephones, pe rfo rm ing leg is la tive research, and learning about the Congressional sys­tem in general — with VIP tours, the daily jobs, and conversations with the busy Congressmen, Their legislative experiences certainly broadened their knowledge of the complicated congressional pro­cess.

Nelson Reid * Scott Frisby Thonnas Huber

For my independent study Immersion I learned about orthopedic surgery and general sports medi­cine under the direction of Dr. Quinn, Besides follow­ing Dr. Quinn at his practice — watching him diag­nose and treat sufferers of athletic or arthritic injuries— I was able to wrap some injuries and watch several surgeries. These surgeries included ACL re­pair, shoulder and hip surgeries. The most interesting surgery that I saw was a complete knee replace­ment performed on an arthritis sufferer. My orthope­dic internship was a fascinating investigation of a career I may pursue.

Page 65: The Miami Valley School 1989

My immersion involved on office internship of Mead Data Central under Solly Vogel, Though much of my work involved traditional office duties such as typing or mailing, I was also able to put together a training program connected with the Lexis Nexis information network. Through long hours— from 8:00 to 5:00 each day, I learned that the business world takes a lot of energy. It is fascinating work, though, and the helpful staff even threw a party for me! My internship at Mead Data Central was, therefore, a good taste of the business world.

Jen Witty Jenny SaylerMy veterinary Immersion happened every day

from 8:00 to 3:00 at the offices of Dr. Diehl and Dr, Claramitoro, I began by helping the technician in the morning, learning about the important process­es of sterilization and X-Ray techniques, I was able to run blood tests, watch spays and neuters, a toe amputation, and tumor removal. One of the most interesting things that I saw was a necropsy on a dog that hod died of cancer. Through this Immer­sion, I learned what being a veterinarian is really like, and I confirmed my hopes to become one.

David MontgomeryMy Immersion in Medicine was a 2V2 week pro­

gram at the Straub Clinic. My time at the hospital was divided between the OR and the specialities of Endocrinology, Radiology and Sports Medicine (Orthropedic Surgery). In the OR I saw many surger­ies. Some of the surgeries consisted of removing a brain tumor and a quadruple by-pass (open heart). In the specialty areas, I went on rounds with the doctors. I was working with and was able to see the patient before they were in the OR. These experi­ences enabled me to get a closer look in a profes­sional field that I may pursue.

During Immersion I spent two weeks in Germany researching and studying Germanic law. I was able to visit many European countries os port of my study, and those included England, Germany, Swit­zerland, Austria, and Belgium. The highlights from my Immersion experience included classes at the Uni­versity of Dayton Low School, the beautiful English countryside, the Black Forest of Germany, and Lueeme.

This year's Varsity Boys' Basketball Team amazed everyone with its incredible success. They changed the whole s tra te g y o f the ir game in order to achieve their 13-6 record.

Girls' Varsity Basketba

Coach Bill Glisson

The Girls' Varsity Basket­ball team ended this year's season with a 7-7 record. This record though does not reflect the amount of effort put in by the players. The girls started the year with a 0-4 record and went on to win seven of their last ten games. The team was led by the seniors Jen Rhee and Ashley Kent, and junior Lisa Cawley. The rest of the members were there with strong support. Everyone had to give 100% all the time because as Coach Glisson said, "No one player was going to do it all by her­self." This hard work was re­warded as the team pre­sented Mr. Glisson his 100th win, Lisa Cawley received the MVP trophy, and Ashley Kent was awarded Team Player. Although the pres­ence of Jen Rhee and Ash­ley Kent will be missed, the team Is eagerly looking for­ward to the 1989-1990 sea­son,
