A WORLD WITHIN

MIAMI VALLEY SCHOOL 5151 DEMISE DRIVE DAYTOn, OHIO 45429

A World W ithin Miami Valley School

The first day of school is always a day fu ll of both surprises and long faces. A yearning for the lazy days of summer and a desire to see friends and greet another year are juxtaposed in the m ind of a student. The beginning of the year started off smoothly for all. The first day formed the usual atmo­ sphere of friendliness. O ld and new faces alike appeared through the doorways of M V S and started off the 1991-1992 year w ith the coziness of the annual lapsit, a fam iliar event to the veterans of the school, an unusual sight to the newcomers.

They were also treat­ ed to a Pep Rally for their cham pion boys' soccer team. M any of th e L o w er S c h o o l classes ventured out of the classroom on school-related trips.

Halloween Fun A s th e tim e fo r Halloween drew near, p r e p a r a tio n s were made and there was a feeling of anticipa­ tion in the air. W hile c h ild re n a n x io u sly a w a ite d b e g g a r's night, decorations ap­ peared in the hall­ ways, classrooms and even o u ts id e the school. Because of the new “Little Sibs” pro­ gram, this year saw the b e g in n in g s of brand new traditions.

M id d le S c h o o le rs took on the ghoulish project of creating a haunted house for the y o u n g e r c h ild r e n .

Lower S cho ol s tu ­ d e n ts once a g a in dressed up in w on­ derful costumes for their annual march th ro u g h the Upper School. However, this year Upper Schoolers jo in e d the f u n by dressing up and put­ ting on their own pa­ rade. A delightfully f r ig h tfu l tim e was had by all, and the ac­ tivities among older and younger students d e m o n s tr a te d the true M V S spirit.

1. “ Hey! W hat are you looking at?" 2. It's Cat W om an. 3. Lower School students take in Halloween spirit. 4. Is this a normal day? 5. M rs. Elmer as an a b ia n m anr' • e H al' .A'een spirit. 7. "He', there! ' n e o r w h a t^ "

Lower School 1. Zak, Lena and Renee Dabbas arrive at school on the first day. 2. Play time!

The Lower School was full of energy this year. The stu­ dents were actively involved in pep ral­ lies for the Low er School boys soccer, the H a llo w e e n p a ­ rade, and m any other activities. Students also spent their days learning along w ith occasional play. Spir­ its were high during field trips to exciting places such as Lake E rie , th e S m o k y M ountains, and area museums.

51

Lower School The Lower School's second French Day w as o nce a g a in a huge success. Lower Schoolers got to par­ ticipate in a wide va­ riety of special activi­ ties lasting the whole day and pertaining to French in some way.

There was a Tour de France, and the tradi­ tional French game of bacci ball or partici­ pated in a biathlon.

Fifth graders put on a play about the French R e v o lu t io n and fo u rth graders the sto ry o f R a p u n z e l w it h a ll lin e s in French. There were exhibits on Frenchspeaking countries in Africa and the Carib­ b e a n , S w itz e r la n d a n d N ew O rle a n s .

T he S ix th grade served e v e ry o ne French crepes. W hen M arite C a illa t w ho organized the affair was asked why she put it together, she said, "for fun."

The annual m usi­ cal fo r p r im a r y grades was a huge success. After many weeks of preparation, the b u d d in g stars performed Dinosaur Valiev. M any thanks to all who helped.

Spring Fair T h is year the Spring Fair returned to its traditional time slot — three to six Friday afternoon. The annual Parents' Asso­ c ia tio n fu n d r a is e r was held on M ay 15 a n d fo r o nce th e weather was beauti­ ful. Students enjoyed games like "Shoot the M u m m y ," darts, and the "Pepsi-can Toss," where they competed to earn prizes and more tickets. In addi­ tio n to the gam es there were lots of de­ lic io u s e d ib le s , as well as a flower and herb sale (just in time for spring planting!)

The Spring Fair has always been a time for the school to come together as a com m u­ nity and celebrate the return of spring. A big thanks goes out to the Parents' Asso­ ciation for providing us w ith this opportu­ nity and for a job well done!

1. Students of all ages en­ joy the games. 2. Stephanie Tortorici relishes her cot­ ton candy. 3. Kathryn Er­ vin uses her artistic abili­ ties to beautify a young hand. 4. The Spring Fair Clow n — he m ust be up to something! 5. Alex Christy cuddles w ith a kitten. 6.

Successions Yearbook under the fam iliar direc­ tion of Mrs. Kay and Mrs. G riffith had a hard w orking year. Pictures to take, stories and captions to write, pages to create and the usual Saturday m orning meetings created a team striving to finish a book full of w on­ derful memories for the entire student body. As the book was under a tighter budget than last year, the staff adjust­ ed to make ends meet and produce a book of pride. Congratulations to the staff and advisors.

Forensics The 1991-92 season was one of the most successful the National Forensic League has ever had. The team was led by returning sophomore members, by several new freshmen and a few eighth graders. Repeatedly, M ia m i Valley students placed at local area tournam ents and attended several competitions in the Toledo and C in ­ cinnati areas. Becki Q uam , Aileen Wagner, and D anny Beaty qualified for state competition, and D anny Beaty was first runner-up to compete at the national level in an unprece­ dented three categories. President D anny Beaty and Secretary/Treasurer Laura Kersh were both pleased with the year, and all involved are looking forward to next year.

The Aesthesia staff had a very pro­ ductive year under co-editors Jen Van Vleck and Alex McAulay. The staff met every M onday and read students' works. The staff then decided if they should publish them. This year the staff also raised money to cover print­ ing costs through a candy guess and car wash. There were m any submis­ sions to the annual Cover Design Contest. The Aesthesia staff were led

by Mrs. Krahling and Mrs. Hughes.

Amnesty had a full year. The m em ­ bership of Amnesty increased and was very productive. W ith the efforts of all the members, co-presidents Vanita Kumar and Jen Van Vleck and faculty advisor M r. Speight, the letters were written with m uch zeal and enthusiam on Fridays at lunch. M em ­ bers were pleased with the turnout for Amnesty Fest which was moved to the end of the school year. The highlight of the year was a mock arrest that occurred during announcements on H um an Rights Day, which provided the school com m unity a chance to view what Amnesty fights against.

Congratulations on another success­ ful year.

Student Council had a productive year under President Packy M oran and Secretary-Treasurer, Jenifer Van Vleck. The year began with an all­ school wienie roast and continued throughout the year w ith such activi­ ties as the Halloween Dance, Spirit Week mixer, and Anything-GoesDay. Student Council's annual fu n d ­ raiser, the fruit sale, was extremely successful with sales exceeding recent years. Another successful venture this year was the faculty appreciation breakfast held at the Golden Nugget Pancake H ouse. S tu de nt C o u n c il funds were used to help fund a P & X trip to Chicago and buy a new micro­ wave oven. Let's hope that next year w ill be as good as this one was!

Stamps can de­ cipher the history of a country as well as having a monetary value. The two students and their faithful guide cata­ logued the stamps as well as looked at the Philatelic Catalog. Members also increased the size of their collections by buying and selling their own stamps.

The chess club, advised by Mr. Graetz, completed a successful year of "check mates". The chess team com­ peted against other schools and went 3-2. The team was led by John Czarnota, Eugene Polonsky and Craig Horenstein. The team could have been more successful but for two forfei­ tures due to scheduling problems.

The 1992 Prom was held in the lobby of the Kettering Tower.

A delicious dinner of chicken or pasta was catered by the King Cole and relished by a ll c h o w - h o u n d s .

T his year's them e, “Unforgettable," was evident in the distinc­ tive black and silver decorations. B lack also seemed to be the color of choice for the attire of m any girls, while the guys went with traditional black tuxedos, sometimes accented with print or jewel-tone vests, bow-ties, or cummer­ bunds. To make the evening even more "unforgettable” the junior class gave each g ue st a m e m o ry book, cham pagne glass, and a picture frame. The event con­ cluded with Natalie Cole's version of her father's classic song, "Unforgettable."

Camp Kern was a great learning and fun experi­ ence for the group. To put their new abilities to work, a cultural simula­ tion game was played with the seventh, eighth and nin th grades.

After studying some specific Hitchcock techniques, we were able to relate his ideas with some more modern sus­ pense movies. The class also v e n tu re d o ut to movie theaters to cri­ tiq u e n e w ly released films. The group then split into three groups to write three individ­ u a lize d scripts fo r a movie which would not be produced. This was a good way to prepare ourselves for the movie that would be shot onlocation.

This year I decided to experience an independent Im ­ mersion, by spending three weeks w ith two doctors, both specializing in orthopedics. I interned with two orthope­ dic medical doctors. Dr. M annarino, a sports medicine doctor, and Dr. Camacho, who specializes in hands. This gave me a taste of both worlds. O u t of the twenty patients Dr. M annarino saw on average every day, about twelve had knee-related injuries. W ith Dr. Camacho, the n u m ­ ber of wrist injuries was high, but not nearly as high as the num ber of knee injuries that Dr. M annarino saw. I understand now the reasons that doctors become doctors, The rewards are immeasurable.

I was able to study both the television and radio aspects, focusing pri­ m arily on television. Statewide travel allowed me to con­ duct interviews in both Colum bus and Cincinnati. Local­ ly, I was fortunate enough to have a week-long internship with Channel 22's M ay Lee. D uring this time, m y job permitted me to accompany M ay as she prepared her daily news stories.

I was delighted to learn that I would be able to intern w ith the Kerrey Presidential Campaign headquarters in W ashington D.C. for m y in ­ dependent study. As it turned out, I was able to work w ith each of the departments of the campaign. A national campaign office is organized very m uch like a business, w ith departmental responsibilities clear. M y own daily activities varied from sending out inform ation and plat­ form positions to transm itting "actualities" — sound bites from Bob Kerrey's speeches — to radio stations across the country.

A long time ago, I had dreams of being a racecar driver on the formula circuit in Europe, (or at least the backroads of Middletown) That dream has been pushed aside for a more realistic goal of w orking w ith a racing team, as an engineer. After working w ith Team H ighball Inc. in Raleigh, N orth Carolina, I chose an Immersion that would test m y future. I didn't want to get into something that I had put on a plateau as a youth and find out that those dreams were only dreams. If I were to ask what the most im portant thing that I learned w ith Team H ighball was, I would still say that I want to get involved in racing as an engineer, and possibly some day as a driver.

A World Of Memories Ariother year at Miami Valley gone and as summer ap­ proaches, the s tu ­ dents are filled with dreams of lazy days.

The year was a re­ m in d e r of tests, hom ew ork assign­ ments, and anxiety over the future for both juniors and sen­ iors, but it was also a re m in d e r of good friends and wonder­ ful times. Memories of dances, collecting food for the hungry, Spirit Week, talented guests that enter­ tained and informed at assemblies, as well as great classes. It was a full year for ev­ eryone and a won­ drous year of more than education.
