PEOPLE WHO PLAY TOGETHER

A t home, national attention was riveted to the fail­ ing state Of the econom y. Reaganomics was intro­ duced to the vocabulary and the American peocple, with its accom panying cuts In aid to colleges and its abandonm ent o f im portant social programs, El Salvador becam e the focus o f world attention as U.S. involvem ent was questioned. Would t-his be­ com e another Vietnam? The ctoyd o f f ^ r which covered A tlanta and its black community ap­ peared to be lifted a fte r tw o years o f existence as W ayne Williams was convicted o f murder.

The World Series was played, despite the summer long strike. It was the year o f sp#t seasort.

Some names will be rw nerrtJered: David Stockman* Alexander Haig, Scnidra Day O'Connor, Jerry FalweH, the Medfiy. John B e h j^, Fernando Valenzuela, Brooke Shield, Lech Wafesa, cmd John Mc£nroe, And the nrwDvies: CHariots o f Fire, On GoWen Pond.

The French Lieutenant's Woman, Rag-time, Raiders o f the Lost Ark, and Recfe. No one will forget this year as the year o f the Rubik aJbe. Jt was a year filled with failures, with conflict, with acco m p i^m e n ts, with successes: unique and unforgetable.

PEOPLE WHO SHARE

O pening/6

PEOPLE WHO ARE The schedule. Who ever thought th a t w e could fit five classes before lunch? But w e did. This extra tim e allowed us to continue the Activities Period. Such activities as yearbook, speech, de­ bate, newspaper, literary magazine, stamp col­ lecting, aerobics, and student governm ent filled this once a week, one hour period. Every one was all caught up this year. IVIVS continued its strategy in offering as many courses as possi­ ble, including World Civilizations, American Au­ thors, British Novelist (for those avid readers).

Modern Drama, Victorian History, and the list goes on and on.

Even though those academ ics seemed to fill the days, d o n't be fooled into thinking th a t our days stopped a t 3:00, or 3:05, or 3:10 (depending on the day). Our sports: tennis, soccer, and basket­ ball were stronger than ever. We showed tha t we were small and mighty. Never did our size d e fe a t us . .. even on the field. MVS g o t a new feeling of spirit, when Spirit Week started this year. But, the week was only a bit of extra inscentive to drag those few people out to sup­ port the gomes. All the classes showed th a t we as a school hod something to be proud of, and we w anted to show it. We were all winners that week.

1

There is one thing tha t con be said about MVS, we d o n't have too few dances. Everytime we turned around, the Freshmen, Sophomores, Ju­ niors, or Student Government were crying w e're having a dance.

However, I'm not one to say tha t MVS is all peaches 'n cream, w e did hove our problems, arguments, complaints, or rather discussions.

Should the Super Sophs be entitled to go out to lunch, since they do drive legally? Response.

No. Yes, we'll listen . .. no you c a n 't go out to lunch, until next year. There was also the prob­ lem of PDA (public display of affection).

The tow n meetings also filled our days once a month, where unfortunately there was olot said, and too little tim e to accomplish it.

Respect, Enthusiasm, and Spirit ore three words th a t best described 1981-1982. Everyone was happy to be here, and I sure am glad you were all here.

LOWGR SCHOOL STUDGMT LIFG Few schools con boast the diver­ sity of activity or the enthusiasm of response that is evident in the Lower School of Miami Valley School. It seems the students are constantly on the go, or are working tow ard a performance, or are attending an assembly.

Special days ranging from the traditional Halloween costume day to a sixties day appear off and on throughout the year. Stu­ dents in the primary grades enjoy weekly field trips or classroom speakers. The fifth grade travels to Glen Helen and Washington, D.C. The sixth grade also goes to Glen Helen, but their major trip is to Kampsville, Illinois to an ar­ chaeological site. As always, the lower school reigned dominant in support of the annual fruit sale with the third grade emerging victorious and winning a day on the slopes o f Sugarcreek. On any given day, it was possible to pur­ chase almost any food item as the classes raised money to fi­ nance class projects. It was a busy, exciting, and enjoyable year.

Leading the lower school last year as sixth graders, the young students found ^ themselves a t the bottom o f the class list in the"* upper school. Everyone was older arrci new. espe足 cially the teachers. Having more than one teacher.^ was a new experience for the seventh grade. To make the entry into the upper school easier fo r. these youngsters, the 87 program opened the year with a trip to WhifX)orwill Cam p in Morrow, Ohio.

UPPGR SCHOOL STUD€MT LIF€ Then there was Spirit Week. Until then, it had b ee n a rather normal, uneventful year. The usual athle­ tic events had b een held; the d an ce s were enjoying m o d erate success; the classroom routine was the sam e; an d the fall play was successfully performed. A few bright spots had em erged: the multitude of new students worked their way into the ranks of th e Upper School; a successful can n e d food drive was engi­ n eered by the senior class; and town meetings w ere actually held. From January 25th through January 29th, the Upper School took on a new attitude and a p ­ p ea ran c e. The halls w ere d e c o ­ rate d by enthusiastk: classes, e a c h covering its designated sp a ce. A variety of costumes a p ­ p e a re d e a c h day of the week.

And Friday was silent; outside of the classroom not a word was spoken. Following school a p e p rally was held, and ev en more surprising than that, many stu­ dents stayed to exercise their vo­ cal chords for the first time that day. It has b ee n quite a year.

AFS/ASSIST When I c a m e to th e United States I h ad only very v a g u e ideas of w hat to e x p e c t. But I certainly did not e x p e c t such friendliness, and I am very thankful for your welcome.

First of all I h av e to thank th e Allings who took c a re of m e th e whole time. They m a d e it easy for m e to b e a m em ber of their family. Com­ forted an d p rep ared like this I did not have a very hard time entering Miami Valley. I was really surprised how nice everybody was, since I was used to the Germ an "cool w ay.”

I admire th e school program besides the of­ fered sports. Every student has an excellent choice of classes an d I enjoyed most of mine.

As you all know I am a productive knitter; by now I h ave finished six sw eaters. For this “tal­ e n t” I had the honor of leading the knitting activity, an d it was a pleasure to se e my "stu­ d en ts” finish their first project, a sw eater. I did not e x p e c t such enthusiasm.

My experience a t Miami Valley has b een mostly positive. As school started, the hom e­ work load c a m e as a shock. Fortunately the load d e c re a se d after a few weeks, an d I was able to study more effectively. The American Experience course d e m an d ed a g re a t deal of reading.

Getting to know the people a t the school has b ee n much easier than I had e x p ec ted . Part of th e explanation may b e th at the school is so small, but I also believe th at the students have b ee n a g re a t help as well. Thanks a lot!

Since playing American high school basketball is something which every Norwegian b asket­ ball player really wants to do, I looked forward to a season with the MVS team . It was a very go o d experience. Basketball also helped me socially as I b e c a m e b ette r acq u ain ted with more of the nice students here.

CLUBS & [^CWITIGS No school is com plete without a unique offering of clubs an d o c - " tivities. At Miami Valley those clubs which seem to endure from year to year provide a bases for extra-curricular school life and provide a special creative outlet.

School publications, th e speech an d d e b a te program, an d stu­ d en t governm ent are the main­ stays. For the 1981-1982 school year, a new twist was a d d e d , and not without its share of c o n ­ troversy. O nce a w eek an hour was set aside within th e school day to provide educationally en ­ riching activities. Each te a c h e r was asked to offer an eight to nine week program; student sug­ gestions w ere solicited. The time allowed students to work to g e th ­ er on tasks or interests held in common. Because so many stu­ dents live so far from the cam pus, after school m eetings or evening meetings had b e e n nearly impos­ sible, so participation had b e en denied. This year an a tte m p t was m a d e to c r e a te something for everyone, an d for the most part this a tte m p t was successful.

YEARBOOK Inventive is the word th at describes the 198'I-82 Yearbook Staff. Retaining the book's title. Succession, Editors Todd Myers an d Gordon Rudd d ecid ­ e d to publish the annual in June this year. Spring sports an d activities will b e published in an August supplement.

This decision was m a d e to provide a culmination to the school year, to give students a c h a n c e to ex ch an g e books for signatures, and to ovoid the carrythrough of th e book to next O ctober.

Along with this ch an g e, new layouts w ere c re a te d as was a new format of conducting Yearbook. The activity m et during the W ednesday activity period to provide students the oppor­ tunity to participate in the activity if they couldn't remain after school hours. Deadlines w ere m et more ef­ fectively, even though som e mass w eekend sessions did occur. Advisor Tom Elmer supported the book whole­ heartedly, an d hopefully his enthusi­ asm an d the enthusiasm of all Year­ book participants will continue to be ab u n d an t and inventive next year.

SKI CLUB This was the year of the ski club.

Though down in membership this year an d dom inated by m embers of the seventh, eighth, an d ninth grades, the ski club enjoyed its most active winter ever, thanks to the kind cooperation of mother nature and the organiza­ tional skills of Bruce Jones, Just when everyone thought 4 h e season was over th e tem p eratu re would again drop an d from the west would co m e more of winter's white stuff. The trip to Pennsylvania co m e on the coldest w eekend of the winter, but the ski a re a had its best conditions in recent years. About the skiing no one had complaint. Thanks to Mr. Jones and the accom panying parents who m ad e the trip possible. It was a very good year.

Short stories, poem s, essays, and artwork filled this year's issue of the lit­ erary m agazine to the brim. Due to b u d g et cuts, the Aesthesla staff pub­ lished only one issue which included works from all g ra d e levels. H eaded by Editor Elizabeth Ailing, th e staff solicited material from students an d faculty, edited the material, an d p roduced a diverse issue a t the en d of the winter term.

Then they b e g a n to a p p e a r in sixes an d sevens, arriving before the junior varsity g a m e started and leav­ ing after the varsity g a m e ended. Not only that, they took the floor, they te a s e d the spectators, and provided enthusiasm. They, in fact, b e g a n to a c t alot like cheerleaders. Will 19821983 b e the year of the cheerleader?

UPP€R SCHOOL SPORTS It was the year of the athlete a t The Miami Valley School. Begin­ ning with tennis and soccer in the fall, all of the upper school team s enjoyed a success unknown in other years. The team s of 81-82 helped to c re a te a sense of school pride through their suc­ cessful and spirited play. Partici­ pation on every te am was up and the enthusiasm was over­ whelming. Fans actually a p ­ p eared , and o n ce involved sup­ p orted the te a m endeavors with loud and appropriate responses . .. they scream ed their heads off. But more than anything else, 'I98'l-1982 was the year of the team , a year where e a c h m em ­ ber contributed to the success of the group. Sure, there w ere standouts, but without a solid te a m effort in support, these standout performers would have co m e to naught. Congratulations to all of the members of the Up­ per School for making this a m em orable year.

7fh & 6fh GRADE SOCCER

The 1981 soccer season for the seventh an d eighth g ra d e te a m was a season of rebuilding. Most of the players on the team , c o a c h e d by Mr. Brereton with the able assistance of Mrs. Smith, w ere new to the Upper School, unfamiliar with the particular style of play, yet e a g e r to learn. Skill building was stressed, an d day after d ay the te a m stretched, passed, h e a d 足 ed, an d tra p p e d the soccer balls under the co ach es watchful eye. Through persistance an d hard work, the players' skills improved and a te a m b e g a n to em erge.

The team 's season e n d e d with a 2-5-2 record which was not indicative of the developm ent of the team personnel. As an extremely young team , the growth was substantial. Jim Bertram, David Brecount, and Jason Thomas were recognized a t the Fall Athletic Banquet for their outstanding contribulion to the growth and developm ent of the team . With only four of its members moving on to the high school program an d with the addition of the present sixth g ra d e to the Upper School, the seventh and eighth g ra d e te am looks forward to a very promising 1982 season.

This W\u set the p a c e for the rams as they continued to d e fe a t their opponents by a t least ten strokes. They played confidantly and consistently. However, they are only mortal an d lost three m atches, including the final m atch with Country Day. In spite of the fact th at most of the members of the golf te am w ere playing soccer as well (they p racticed golf on the w eekends when they w ere not playing soccer), the athletes maintained their enthusiasm for both sports while reflecting credit on the school.
