The Miami Valley School 5151 Denise Drive

Dayton, Ohio

Opening 1

The summer of '86 in Dayton came to a close after three months of major happenings in the Valley. There were changes . . . from the antici­pation of a new mayor to the gubernatorial cam­paigns . . . from the proposal of a new arts center to the job cuts at GM . . . from the danger of the Miamisburg chemical spill to the proposed revi­talization of downtown.

Changes, too, were occurring on the MVS cam­pus. The new wing with its spacious rooms, the computer center, and a reception area contribut­

ed to the feeling on campus of an innovative start to the new year. Fall ushered in the '86-'87 term with the promise of many new possibilties.

Successions '87 reflects the happenings in the Valley and celebrates both the new and the old, the changes and the unchanging. The school year has offered a time to learn and a time to enjoy. Each new year brings fresh talent, original ideas, and new friends. With all of this comes the ne­cessity for remembrance.

In Lower School t.\X j

Over the summer of '86, several changes were made on campus. The new wing of the Lower School building houses Lower School classrooms, in addition to supplying rooms for the Up­per School. The sky-lighted foy- er o f the w in g is spacious enough to serve the w hole school community as an area for exhibits, displays, and meetings. The students and faculty in the Lower School are excited about the new arrangements and the additional space.

New students and faculty also bring positive changes to the Lower School and add to the en­riching atmosphere. The low teachex-student ratio contributes to close relationships in the classrooms. The friendliness of the caring staff, the bright colors in the rooms, the rocking chaiis for story-time, all add to the feel­ing of protection, closeness, and love.

The Upper School reflects the theme of changes that have oc­curred. New faculty, the new classrooms in the new wing, new students, and even the new orange lockers in the Commons bring the feeling of progress that is evident in grades 7 through 12. Students who are new to the middle school this year are Aar­on Alford, Amelia Fuhrer, Atia Shoemaker, Danielle Young and Scott Murphy. In grades 9-12 we welcome Lo-Ku Chiang, Anna- belle Kirch, Ling Lin, Radha Reddy, Ruby and Jones Mays, Dynero Lee, Prasantha Bathini, Aparna Reddy, Andy Baker, Lorenzo Bassani, Marcus Jen­kins, and Davette Shorter.

I. iuded among these newcomers are our Foreign Exchange stu­dents, Joan Gispert from Spain and E leni V a n its id is from Germany.This fall, returning students found changes in the rules con­cern in g stu d en t b eh av ior . Through the hard work of the Student Council, with President David Reid working with the administration, the T-shirt ban has been suspended. The final resolve of the issue is pending. Juniors and seniors with per­mission to leave campus for lunch, however, were reminded of the reinforcement of the man­datory sign-in after lunch. In ad­dition to such guidelines, there

have been quite a few changes in the social life of the Upper School community. More parties have been planned for 7 through 9 grades, with post-game pizzas, outings to King's Island, canoe trips, and picnics. For the school as a whole, members of the Ju­nior class organized and spon­sored a semi-formal December dance, marking the first gala held in the Commons.

Big changes (the T-shirt issue). Small changes (the room num­bers). The core of the Upper School remains comfortably tra­ditional and solidly placed.

FACULTY

Sara Burnap

For the students, the school year begins in the first week of Septem­ber after three long months of vaca­tion. The teachers and staff, howev­er, begin their year before the students arrive. This year, teachers and staff had the opportunity to spend two summer days at Camp Rolling participating in a retreat. School in-service, faculty meetings, and department conferences in Au­gust set the tone for the coming year.The 1986-87 year began with some new faces among the faculty. One major change has been the head­master's position. With Mr. All- ing's departure at the end of the last school year, Mr. Thomas Brereton became headmaster. New teachers filling other positions on staff are Ms. Ma-nan Liu from China, Ms.

Moira Laughlin, and Ms. Victoria Peters. As part of a cultural ex­change with China, Ms. Liu ob­serves classes and teaches Intro­ductory Chinese in an effort to stimulate the exchange of Chinese and American cultures. Ms. Laugh­lin teaches eighth grade science and ecology. Ms. Victoria Peters is in charge of the Middle School music program. In addition to the new faculty, Upper School also wel­comes Mr. Edward Turpin and Mr. Willie L. Turner who have assumed responsibilities for building main­tenance. In the Business Office, Al­exander Georoff fills the position of business manager, and Dennis Manning has become maintenance supervisor and transportation coor­dinator.

Student activities and campus life provide students opportunities to participate, socialize, and accept re­sponsibility. Common goals and group dynamics foster enthusiasm as well as providing a forum for thought and student opinions. Among known school organizations are two new ones which offer stu­dents an increased range of partici­pation. S.A.D.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving) and Peers Council- ing Peers have been founded for the students with S.A.D.D. being an or­ganization founded by a member of the student body, Kim Duke. Changes have also occurred in long­standing organizations with new of­ficers, new members, and new pro­grams. Although the Ski Club is not a new organization, it has under­gone a change in supervision and is now co-ordinated by Ms. Laughlin.

Student life continues to change i with every new school year with new students and new faculty. The setting for much of the student ac­tivity is in the Commons with one major change bringing quite pro­ductive results. Pepsi Cola became the drink of choice this year in grati­tude for which the Pepsi Cola Com­pany provided the playing fields with the electric scoreboards. An­other beneficial change in the com­mons is the brand new orange, met­al lockers.

These many activities offered by the school hold the students' interest and attention. The opportunity to participate in any one of the clubs is an invaluable and very beneficial one.

The Student Council started the 1986-87 school year by sponsoring the third annual Leadership W ork­shop for students in grades 7-12. This w orkshop provides an oppor­tunity for class officers, team cap­tains, editors, and Student Council members to initiate their planning for the year and to learn some basic m an ag em en t techn iques to im ­p ro v e th e i r p e r f o r m a n c e s as Icar'ers.

i ! • , ' Council kicked off the ,■ I with its annual Hal-

■ •> •iCe. The Council also ' d - f t classes to take an active ole in promoting social activities

for the school. The Junior Class ac­cepted the challenge and staged a semi-formal December dance. The entire high school enjoyed the

“ A nyth ing-G oes-D ay” activities which signaled the end of the Council-sponsored activities for the year.

The Student Council also encour­aged the development of school spirit with its Spirit Week competi­tion, designed to get the classes to compete for the honor of being named the class with the most school spirit. The week's activities included dress-up days, skits per­formed by the various classes, and decorating the gym for the MVS tournaments. The week culminated with a dance attended by MVS stu­dents and players from the visiting teams.

To fund the various projects whichthe Council undertakes, the Coun­

cil has one major fund drive each year. This year, though it got off to a slow start, the Student Council raised more money through the fruit sale than it has in any recent year. In response to incentives, stu­dents sold almost $9000 in fruit. Besides sponsoring school activi­ties the Student Council undertook the food drive in December as part of the Holiday Aid Program coordi­nated by Tatone Buick.

S.A.D.D.This was the first year for the Stu­dents Against D runk Driving (SADD) program at the school. The main focus of the group is to raise the awareness of students to the dangers of drunk driving. Efforts to initiate a SADD chapter at the school were undertaken by Sophomore Kim Duke. For these efforts she was elected President, and Sophomore Jennifer Williams was elected Vice-President. For a first year program, the membership is excellent, and includes approximately 10% of the high school student body. All the members would like to thank Mrs. Donat, the faculty advisor, for her time and efforts. The members feel that the SADD program will have a strong and positive influence in the years to come.

Peers Encouraging Peers is a new club that has been organized to train members in becoming more adept at counseling other teens. Not a traditional support group, the organization aims toward the development of skills in listening and communicating. In regularly- held meetings, discussions center on the types of problems likely to be" encountered by anyone counsel­ing adolescents. The organization also provides, as part of its service to the school community, informa­tional literature that addresses teen concerns and problems. Sponsors for the group are Thomas Elmer, Peter Camm, Carol Fox, and Ann Baldwin.

AESTHESIA, the title of the maga­zine, means “the perception of the ex­ternal world through the senses." This perception is obvious in the writ­ings and drawings chosen for publica­tion. Staff meets on Tuesdays to vote on selections for the magazine. Staff members also contribute literary and artistic creations of their own, solicit the same from their fellow students, and assist in layout.

The forensics team has had one of its best seasons in several years. Individ­ual events speakers co n s is te n tly placed high after the dust had settled at tournaments in Dayton and Cin­cinnati.

Foreign Exchange Student Joan Gispert ^

One day a letter arrived at home in Barcelona. The envelope stated "The United States of America." I broke the envelope rudely with my hands. It was the letter I had expected for so many weeks. My first reaction wasn't to read the whole letter imme­diately, but to look for the name of the school. "Miami Valley School/' I said, "Great! Miami!" I thought. Later, when I kept reading I could see "Dayton, Ohio." I knew where Ohio was, but I must confess that I had no idea about Dayton.

Four months later, I was in Dayton. I was afraid and confused. Everything was new for me. Then school started. I met my classmates and teachers. I met the soccer field and the gym, where everyday I lost ten pounds. And I also met long hours of homework. But homework has made me acquire more knowl­edge. Soccer and basketball are great sports and I have enjoyed every minute I played. Classmates and teachers have become my friends. Friendship is what really has made me feel comfortable and hap­py. It's hard to believe, but I have only been home­sick two days. The reason is that I haven't felt far from home. I am happy to have been in Dayton. The weather is not like weather in Miami, but friendship makes it warmer. Now I don't have to look at an atlas to know where Dayton is. Now the only fear I have is that I'll miss Dayton too much when I go back to Barcelona.

Finally, I would like to thank the Andrews, the Elmers, and Mrs. Donat for taking care of me dur­ing my first days in Dayton. Especially, I give my thanks to my two host families, the McDonalds and the Inbodys, who treated me like a son. M y final thought is for everybody at Miami Valley School. Sincerely, I feel my year here has been a fantastic experience.

Thank you very much, M.V.S.Joan Gispert

Eleni VanitsidisNow I am here for three months and I like it better every day. It is a funny feeUng because I feel as if I have always been here. I became a part of the school community and I cannot imagine that it won't al­ways be like this. I remember exactly the day when Joan and I were sitting together in the plane to Dayton not knowing what awaited us. Our English was so poor and both of us had problems to speak. It was a strange feeling not to know where you are going. And now I am here and everything is so familiar. It's great to be a part of a small school in which people know each other. The teachers are like friends and students don't avoid them as they do in Germany. I am also experiencing the amount of homework exchange students prophesied to me. Re­cently I received a letter from my friend in which she was complaining about too much homework (three pages instead of the usual two) I guess I don't have to make any comment about this. I'm glad that I can be together with you and I want to THANK YOU for your help when I had problems. Each of you makes this year one of the greatest experiences of my life. Thanks to my hosting families, which included me as one of their children.

W ith us at Cantervalley Three coaches did preside.The first of whom was alive with pride.Tennis was his game which brought him much fame,Romeo was his name and manipulation he did claim.O n the second court His temper was short.If you were out of shape M any stairs you must face.But when the games were done And had he not won A smile he would share To show his players he did care,A great coach till the end And even a friend.

The second brave being To chance coaching a team Was much prettier than Vin But that was obviously no sin.She was a lady as everyone knows And she chose to play soccer in her hose.As female she was seen (or the soccer queen)And rarely was she ever blatantly mean."No mercyl" was her saying Which kept everyone playing.With alliteration she gave gleam To cheers done by the team."Mame Muffy", "Get Greenview" Were only a few.And although her team Could not create her dream.Very hard we would try

The third of the three Seemed only five foot three.Girls' basketball he did train Which appeared an effort in vain. Standing on the court He really loved the sport.But he would try not to get hotTeaching us how not to miss a shot.The wings knew to hideWhen he would decide to make themdriveBehind our lipstick, make-up, and tears.He was a man with no fears And care he did very much As he coached us all with a special

The Junior Varsity Boys' soccer team was once again plagued with their star players moving to Varsity, which caused a conflict for the team. The boys always played a very agressive game, with a lot of skill. They learned to adjust to various situations. All of the boys had a great deal of fun this season! The MIP was Alex Kent, who was on the border line of the Varsity team.

Upper School Girls Varsity Tennis

The Girls' Varsity Tennis team, consist­ing of 6 juniors, 1 sophomore, and 1 freshman, played the toughest schedule in school history. The girls played all of the AAA & AA teams in the area with the record of (18-4). The team defeated their public school rival, Oakwood, (3-2), and private school rival. Seven Hills (5- 0). With the experienced coaching of Vin Romeo, all of the girls played superbly. Lisa Cawley and Melissa Rotman were named the most improved players. In singles, Mary Spencer made her third trip to state as well as various other vic­tories. Doubles partners, Jenell Ross and Dina Cristo, also made it to state as well. Next year's tennis team should be even better since no one is graduating in '87.

Immersion

Earth Science

By Shawn Jones

The "Earth Science” Immersion was an

introduction to the forces o f earth and an

explanation o f their causes. The class­room explanations com bined with seeing

the actual results on a field trip made this

learning experience easier to understand.

Immersion in the Courtroom

Teens in Trouble

By Mark Rife

Although I have been a teenager for

the past five years now, I was not, until this Immersion, fully aware o f the m agni­tude o f the problems teens are facing.

A lot o f my peers are in pain. Pained

because they grow up too quickly. My

study, although focusing on a depressing

subject, tried to look at the positive side

— what’s being done to help.

Children’s Medical Center

By Andrea Bright

These settings, which strive to make

the children comfortable in the unnatural hospital setting, had an effect on me dur­ing my Immersion in the hospital. I learned to be comfortable with the IV’s, oxygen tents and isolation rooms. Within

this atmosphere, I helped to give a nor­malcy to often frightened young children.

By David Reid

The Internship was valuable because it offered an insight into the legal process

which very few people have. It was an

outstanding Immersion, the success o f

which can be attributed to the under­

standing and patience o f Federal Judge t

Walter Rice and his colleagues, Jim, Tania, Ellie, Shirley and Christine.

Frontier Nursing

By Dana McKenney

During my four years o f Immersion, I have traveled to Russia and back, and

studied Earth Science and the Stock M ar­ket; but my time up here in the Appala­chian Mountains o f Eastern Kentucky

has been and is the best experience I have

ever had. I feel content because I helped

the people and made a difference to

them.

Outward Bound

By Darius Bozorgi and Tony Peh

Outward Bound is a unique program

that challenges the physical and mental capabilities o f each student and forces

him to learn more about himself through

numerous tests o f endurance. The V o y ­ager Outward Bound School, located in

Big Bend National Park in Texas, is an

extremely well-run school. The program

is safe, fun, and educational.

In the Swim

By Craig Dean

This senior Immersion project has g iv ­en me a different perspective on com peti­tive swimming — that o f a coach. I also

have had instructional responsibilities at

the University o f Dayton and the North - west YM CA. While working with others, including one handicapped college stu ­dent, I have also learned about myself.

Interacting constructively on a teaching

level makes the learning process a tw o ­

fold experience.

Sports Medicine

By Jon Freeman

In the Sports M edicine clinic at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, sports injuries are

diagnosed and treated. The level o f re­covery will be dependent on the injury

and the desire o f the patient. I learned

during Immersion that Sports M edicine is

a growing field in a rewarding and satis­fying profession.

Immersion in England

By Chimene Mayne

On the whole, England is a fabulous

country. Its greatest pride is London. I don’t believe that any other country has

such a large, beautiful city that is as clean

and well-kept as London. Seeing this city

"made” the whole trip for me.

M odel U N

By Jonathan Rhee

The M odel United Nations program

was a unique opportunity to learn and

better understand the political positions

o f other countries. During this time we

learned the background o f our country

(G abon) and got a general picture o f

each separate U .N . bloc. W e dealt with

world problems and gained a more c o m ­prehensive perspective o f our world.

Earthwatch

By Susan M oss

I feel that I profitted enormously from

this Immersion experience. It made me

aware o f the vast scope o f possibilities in

the field o f marine biology, both th eo ­

retical and in field research. A bove all, it has given me an appreciation for the d e ­sign and execution o f scientific studies.

Photography Class

By Susan Bozorgi, Eric Ernst and D oug

GeyerThough it is not considered by many

as an art form, photography incorporates

the basic creative techniques used in o th ­er facets o f the art world. With this phi­losophy in mind members o f the Basic

Photography class set out to learn and

refine the various technical requirements o f photography.

The Other Side

By Ramesh A w a

W hen people view the world o f m edi­cine, they tend to see only the glamorous

parts o f the health profession. However, there are many other duties, although less

exciting, that must be performed by tech ­nicians and a host o f others. This Immer­sion experience has revealed to me much

information concerning the medical field

which I did not know before.

Pilots license

By Jim Marable

Working toward a pilot’s license dur­ing Immersion teaches that the first per­son you should fear is yourself

A Spanish Experience

By Brad Lang

The trip provided an opportunity for

lengthy introspection about the culture o f

Spain and also about ourselves and our

peers. On the academic side, our teachers

taught about the history and language o f Spain, but experience was the best teach­er. While interacting with the people we

learned about them and also our friends.

W ashington Workshop

By Scott Broock

One cannot fully appreciate the co m ­plexity o f our government until he has

been to Capital Hill. During my month in

Washington, D.C., I was able to gain a

firsthand view o f what it is that makes

our nation work. For those who can ac­

cept the challenge o f a Washington in ­ternship, the benefits that may be reaped

are countless.

Outward Bound Minnesota

By David Andrews

Working from dawn to dusk everyday

is not defined as fun for most people, but it is to Outward Bound students in M in ­nesota. For them, leading a team o f Alas­kan dogs across a snow swept lake isn’t work unless it is called work. The saying

that work can be fun rings true for O u t­ward Bound alumni. Exercising every day

is Outward Bound’s general policy, along

with learning a totally different set o f

skills that someday may save one’s life.

The Orient

By Eric Tomchin

The Orient is one o f the few places left

in the modern world where ancient cu s­toms and modern civilization have been

so finely combined. Everyone must take

at least one trip to the East to experience

the delicate balance between old and new.

The Investigation

By Amber Circiello

The participants in the 1986 Filmmak­ing Immersion had four weeks o f exciting

experiences. This year’s film crew consist­ed o f Amber Circiello, Todd Greenberg, Jenell Ross, Erica Schultz and Carla

Wilder. The group filmed scenes for their

movie on location around town and in

Cincinnati.

A Laboratory Experience

By Ted Bernstein

My independent project was working

at the Cox Heart Institute in a lab in cooperation with Wright State Universi­ty’s Emergency Medical Department. There I worked with Dr. John McCabe

and Chief Lab Technician Terri Caprio. The experience I had proved to be very educational as well as interesting.

H otel and Restaurant

By Meredith Sanderow

The hotel business is a way o f life for

the many people who are a part o f a hotel staff. The hotel people at Stouffer’s and

the Dayton Airport H otel all share the

same types o f experiences. By observing a

hotel from "the back o f the house” a

person can tell if the hotel life is right for

him.

Astronomy

By Ted Durbin

The thought that the light from these

immense celestial objects takes th ou ­sands o f years to reach our solar system is

overwhelming. Throughout history man

has looked up to the stars with awe and

amazement as do the students taking the

astronomy Immersion course today. (M ike Peck)

Innocent Until Proven Otherwise

By Jon Paul Rion

What I have learned working for Rion

Rion and Rion is that one o f the most

important things a person can do is pro­

tect the one thing that separates the U nit­ed States from Russia: The Constitution

o f the United States.

Voyage En France

By Liz Bernstein

It’s hard to express how I felt about the

things I saw and the places I visited. The

amazement and awe that I experienced

throughout the trip, standing in front o f a

painting or an historical monument, sim ­ply cannot be conveyed. The works o f art have becom e real for me because I have

seen them.

Animal Business

By Raya Tabrah The Miami Valley Animal Hospital

and the Waynesville Veterinary Hospital are reaching out to help animals. A ssist­ing and observing at these tw o clinics

provided me with an accurate insight into veterinary medicine.

World o f the Child

By Lalani Winston

The Bible says children are a gift from

G od. If such is the case, then W ee Haven

Child Care Center is a storehouse full o f

these precious gifts. That is where I spent

my Immersion.The children were wonderful and often

times unpredictable, which made for

som e interesting moments at W ee Haven. Every day was like opening a gift and

being pleasantly surprised.

G ood Samaritan

By Greg Margolis

I woke up, jumped into the shower, com pleted my early morning routine, fin ­ished tying my tie around my neck, and

ran downstairs to the kitchen where the

dog was sleeping on his back. It was then

that I came to realize that it was a little

past one a.m. I had wakened approxi­mately five and a half hours too early. I had been so nervous the previous evening

about getting to my first day at G ood

Samaritan Hospital on time that I had, to

put it mildy, "jumped the gun.”

Restaurant management

By Candy Borchers

Purchasing for a restaurant requires a

lot o f trust by the management. The job consists o f ordering the products and

then personally receiving them. This may

sound rather menial, but a lot depends on

this particular job.

International Finance

By Johannes V on Huelsen

I spent three weeks in the nation’s ca ­pital working at the Institute o f National

Finance.If I review the three weeks in W ash­

ington and the work I was able to a c ­

complish, I would have to say that I learned so many things and the level o f

experience was so great, that I had trou­ble including it all in a short article.

BaseballThis was the most successful season for the

baseball team in Miami Valley history. The season

ended with an impressive victory over Tri-County,

bringing the season record to 5-8. Strong pitching

was provided throughout the season by Shawn

Jones, Tony Peh, and Craig Young. The defense

also was greatly improved. Leading hitters were

Ralph Donaldson, with a 450 batting average, and

David Sayler, who hit over .380. Team honors went

to Billy Glisson, M ost Improved, and Ralph D o n ­aldson, named M ost Valuable Player.

Front: Coach Asjian, Shawn Jones, Billy Glisson, Ralph Donaldson, Paul DeFranco, Todd Weprin, Kevin Arnett. Back: Vinnie Romeo, David Sayler, John Sweeney, Alan Siebenthaler, Craig Young, Scott Broock, Tony Peh.

Softball

Front: Ashley Kent, Meredith Sanderow, Liz Bernstein, Monica Singla, Lisa Romeo, Lisa Elliot. Back: Coach Glisson, Rosa Sala, Melissa Rotman, Susan Moss, Nina Singla, Laura Nelson, Andrea Bright, Ann Mantil, Coach Ailing.

Learning and improvement. These are the two words which best characterize this year’s softball team. With several new players, the team

learned to play together and becom e familiar with the Headmaster as a

coach. Coach Bill Glisson learned to enjoy himself after such games as

the 32-28 loss to Summit. The team improved greatly, as the season

culminated in a com e-from -behind victory over Meadowdale in the final game. Lisa Rom eo led the team and won the M ost Valuable Player award. Nina Singla was named M ost Improved.

Varsity Boys’ Tennis

Front: David Andrews, David Reid, Ramesh Avva, Chris Wydman. Back: Coacli Romeo, Jon Freeman, Jon Bernie, Greg Margoiis.

The 18-2 record o f the Boys’ Varsity Tennis team shows

another successful year. Chris Wydman earned a winning

record at first singles against tough com petition. Ramesh

Avva had another incredibly successful year and advanced to

the state tournament. Darius Bozorgi played well at third

singles despite missing tw o weeks. The doubles team o f Jon

Freeman and Greg Margoiis advanced in the tournament

also, losing only one match during the season. The second

doubles team o f David Reid and Jon Bernie were undefeated

in the season and also qualified for the state tournament.

Junior Varsity Boys’ TennisWhat is the lineup for today This was a

frequent question asked by the players on the

Boys’JV Tennis team. Due to sickness and loss

o f players to the varsity, the JV team never had

the same lineup. Despite these problems, the

team earned a record o f 4-6. The team consisted

almost completely o f freshmen and sop h o ­mores, who will return next year. Johannes von

Huelson earned Team Player for his dedication

and improvement.

Front: Marie Inbody, Mike Peck, Sonu Aggarwal, Eric Tomchin. Back: Coach Georoff, Greg Mitchell, Bryan Hawthorne, Johannes von Huelson, Jon Rion.

Middle School Tennis

The Middle School Boys’ Tennis team had one

o f its strongest years ever. The final record was 6-1, the only loss com ing to Cincinnati Country Day.

The highlight o f the season was a victory over

previously undefeated Sycamore. The team fin ­ished second in the Princeton tournament. Hans

Helmers and the doubles team o f N eil Singla and

Walter Kim won first place in the tournament.

Front: Neil Singla, Walter Kim, Josh Lewis, LLoyd Huber, Danny Kay. Back: Nelson Reid, David Young, Hans Helmers, Jason Tomchin, David Montgomery, Mike Lofino, Coach Fenwick.

Varsity TrackDespite having a small team and no victories, this was a

successful year for the Varsity Track team. Coach Jerry

Sampson was pleased with each member’s improvement. The runners strived to do their best each time, and as a

result, placement in the races improved. Brian Kendall and Anna Hebner each barely missed in qualifying for the

second round in the state tournament. There will be hope

for more improvement next year with no graduating

seniors and a large number o f eighth grade runners who will join the team.

Front: James Johnson, Brian Kendall. Back: Erica Shulz, Anna Hebner, Lalani Winston, Coach Sampson.

Middle School Track

This year was impressive for the Middle School track team in both size and performance. There

were several new participants particularly in the seventh grade. Darrin Bright showed determination

in the mile and 800m w innii^ several races. Eighth

graders Eddie M obley and Alex Kent also per­formed admirably. The girls showed improvement

as well, particularly in relays. Next year promises to

be equally successful with such runners as Nathan

Remmers, Stephen Rife, and Rahul Banerjee.

Front: Rahul Banerjee, Kevin Moody, Nathan Remmers, Sami Marrei, Prabal Nandy, James McCutcheon, Stephen Rife, Ryan Levin. Back: Coach Jackson, David Inbody, Theron Shaw, Cheng Song, Alex Kent] Eddie Mobley, Darrin Bright.

Immersion

Space: The Final Frontier By Sara Batata

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be in space? D o you find yourself wondering how things work in micro-gravity? If you answer "yes," to these questions, you should go to the Space C am p/Space Academ y and the Marshall Space Flight Center in Ala­bama, By training w ith counselors, you will learn past, present, and future of the U.S. space program.

Legal InternshipBy Davette Shorter

M y im m ersion project afforded me the o p ­portunity to explore thoroughly the legal system . M y advisor. Judge James A. Brogan, introduced me to everything from a crim i­nal's entry into the system to the actual trial and sentencing o f a convicted felon.

English Literary Heritage Tour By John Sheridan

T he course was created to provide the stu ­dents with a chance to make an in-depth study of English literature and certain au­thors to see h ow these authors sculpted the face of English literature. From the Lake District to London, from Canterbury to Dorset, the tour fulfilled its purpose.

N ew spaper Internship By D avid Sayler

D uring m y Im m ersion study at Dayton Dai­ly News and Journal Herald I was able to do m any different jobs: I w ent to a press con­fe re n c e , c o v er ed h ig h s c h o o l se c t io n a l gam es, answered phones, and even got to write a feature story.

Turn Left at The Goat: The China Trip By Jon Bernie and H olly Tabrah

After v isiting H ong Kong, Canton, Xian, our next stop was the capital city of Bejing (Peking) which provided us with the h ig h ­light of the trip — our visit to the Great Wall. N o t o n ly did the Im m ersion group explore a culture, we learned to appreciate the benefits of the U.S., too often taken for granted.

Sw am p StudyBy Liz Bernstein

Picture yourself face to face w ith an alligator a foot away. Picture yourself w atching two bald eagles in their natural habitat. For the ten Swam p Study participants, these experi­ences and m any similar ones became a reali­ty. W e traveled to the Everglades N ational Park and to Long Pine Key, where w e faced the environm ent that m ost people picture w hen they hear the work, "swamp." Blue Springs State Park and O kefenokee Swam p completed our study.

JurisprudenceBy Bill G lisson

Jurisprudence is the theory of law. For four weeks, the Jurisprudence class studied this subject w ithout having m uch know ledge about it previously. M uch of the experience that the class received came from w itness ing court cases, from the voit dire, w h ich is the question ing of the jury, to the final verdict of the jury and sentencing by the judge.

Earth ScienceBy Ku Chiang

The Earth Science course consisted o f three academic classes m eeting three days a week. A ll-day field trips to locations in Dayton, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis were taken, in addition to a three-day cam pout at Camp Kern. The Earth Science Im m ersion has be­come a resource course, g iv in g students a chance to discover th ings on their own.

Dress D esign ingBy Am ber Circiello

I worked under the direction of "Jackie O. of Huston," a Black entrepreneur w h o runs her ow n design studio. Creating a dress from start to finish , working with pressures of deadlines make the design field interesting. M y im m ersion was the beg inn ing of a long journey, full of learning.

ChoreographyBy Harold Mills

This year's Immersion course was different from all the rest. Taught by an artist-in- residence, Shawn Womack the program was very enlightening but difficult at times. Working in the course helped me to under­stand that dancing is a major part of our lives, no matter what kind of dancing we do.

Study with the Woodhull Corporation By Lorenzo Bassani

The capitalistic economy of America de­pends on small, pravately-owned businesses like the Woodhull Corporation. This partic­ular company is run by a father and son team. Because of this, my experience with the corporation was even more worthwhile, since I plan on starting a business with my father someday.

The Big Apple's Performing Corps By Claire Hedley

Our trip was the culmination of a three- week study of theatre, art, opera. The group saw performances of Carmen and Big River, as well as visiting Metropolitan Museum of Art, Modern Museum of Art, the Guggen­heim, and the American Craft Museum. The highlight of the trip was the backstage tour at the Met where the group conversed with Placido Domingo

Earthwatch: St. Kitts By Susan Moss

For one month, I participated in an Earth­watch expedition with the objective of pre­paring an accurate animal census that would instigate the formation of conservation poli­cies and wildlife sanctuaries for the Vervet monkey. I came away from the project feel­ing that my contribution to the team had helped to complete a monkey population census for the entire island of St. Kitts.

Immersion in a Hospital . . . Again By Andrea Bright

At Mercy Hospital in Fairfield, I worked through the administration office of John Huntsbarger and got a view for the hospital as a whole, I discovered that it is a living creature, each department a separate organ which is part of the whole. The administra­tion is the nervous system — receiving in­put, analyzing, coordinating.

Building Industry Study By Julie Huber

For my Immersion project this year, I chose to build a house. The first thing I found is that it is not as easy as it sounds. M y experi­ence, however, has led me right into the career 1 want to pursue as a member of the Building Industry. M y best counsel during my study came from my advisor and friend, my father.

Blue Chip Computer StudyBy Craig Young and Tony Peh

Frustration, hard work, independence, re­sponsibility, pride. These are the words I use to describe my Immersion study. It was frustrating at times but it was well worth the struggle. W hen I go to college, I think my Immersion course will definitely help me in my field of study. 1 not only learned to pro­gram, but I also learned to interact with other people on the job. M y experience was most rewarding.

Internship at Dayton Daily N ews and Jour­nal Herald

By Ann Mantil My big assignment came during the last week of a great Immersion period. I wrote a 30-inch feature article on The Miami Valley School's Immersion program. The most re­warding part of the period was working in a really professional environment, writing ar­ticles, and doing what a real professional does. My month at the paper gave me more than just a taste of the field.

Study at NCRBy Jeff Sniderman

I worked at NCR, the fifth largest company in the world, and studied data processing. My goal was to learn as much as I could about the world of business. Although my duties at NCR World Headquarters were not quite the same as those of a regular employ­ee, I got a taste of what certain jobs are. Every day I learned something new. I dis­covered that there is much more to business than just supply and demand.

Hotel InternshipBy John Sw eeney

There is a com pletely different world w ith in a hotel w hich m ost people do not k n o w ex­ists. It is in that world that I spent three weeks. I visited every department, learning sales tactics, labor relations, and the d iff i ­culties of hotel m anagem ent. T w o of the m ost interesting departments were Food and Beverage and Security. A ll in all, I feel that the program was w orthw hile as I met a lot of people with different background and be­came acquainted w ith all facets of hotel life.

Boys' BaseballThis '87 baseball season had many notable highlights but, there are two in particular that were played exceptionally well. The team this year performed something that is not easily achieved. They defeated Bethel High School!! They not only defeated the team once but twice. The team consisted of: Ralph D on­aldson, Craig Young, David Saylor, Kevin Arnett, Rockwell Patterson, Todd Weprin, Tony Peh, Eddie Mobley, Hugh Pabarue and Bill Glisson. The season came to a close with a record of 6-12. The coach, Ken Ashjian, had this to say, "All in all, it was an incredible season for the Miami Valley School Base­ball team." The team is very sorry to be losing three seniors who have contributed very strongly over the years. Craig Young, David Saylor and Tony Peh. Congratulations se n io rs fo r y o u r o u ts ta n d in g participation!

Girls' SoftballFor the first time in a long while, the Girls' Softball team, coached by Gayle B lum berg and Bill G lis so n , had enough talent to fill all of the field positions. The team had a rough start trying to find a pitcher, but in time, Ashley Kent, Nina and Monica Singla became the first string pitchers. M on­ica Singla controlled the infield as the short-stop. Lisa Elliot and Nina Singla both did a fine job of catching. A new­comer to the sport, Jenny Rhee, worked very hard to obtain a spot in the out-field, and capture the most improved player award. The Girls' best game was when they won both games at Wellington, capturing the championship at the tournament.
