No other school in the area is quite like Miami Valley. Ask students what they like about “ MVS,” and a variety of answers are given. Some like the small size, the closeness and sense of community. With stu­dents aged four through eighteen

and faculty of all ages, it is easy to see how one student considers it her “home away from home.” At MVS students are not just “faces in the crowd,” but individuals able to freely express themselves. Because of the size, students are able to re­

ceive unique attention and are giv­en the chance to participate in many activities outside the class­room. As students journey through the educational process — a single school year or thirteen — they are building their abilities, respect, in­

tellectual curiosity, concern for hu­manity. They, together with their teachers and all the others that make up the MVS family, are building a legend.

Members of 1993’s senior class — GROUPHUG!

The 1992-93 school year saw the Miami Valley School undergoing several changes. Enrollment was at an all-time high with 380 students registered. There were about twen­ty new students in the Lower School and twenty five in Middle and Upper School. There were also

twelve new members added to the faculty. A major change was the creation of a Middle School. This concept, new to Miami Valley, in­cluded the reorganization of grades six, seven, and eight, rennovated classrooms, and a new principal. It even began to look as though con­

struction of the new Science Center might actually begin! While many things were changing, several as­pects of MVS remained the same. Classes were still small, providing the environment unique to the school. Participation in extracurri- culars was strong at all levels, al­

lowing for many clubs and orga­nized sports. As always, students kept busy, busy, busy, but of course always managed to find time to be with the ir friends and family. Along with new classes, memories were being made, and all were a part of the legend being built.

1. Lorie Margolis, Katheryn Braunlin, Sidney Bieser, and Alex Combs-Bachmann seem to be having a great year. 2. Rachel Ward enjoys the best part of a day — recess! 3.

1. Kathryn Ervin, Ashley England, and Bijal Desai look pretty happy to be

back! 2. The annual lapsit — how long can they stay that way? 3. Lisa Kersh

and Mr. Gretz — stressed out already? 4. Amy Eikenbery and Debi Weis are ready for a new year. 5. Krista Hook

and Netsanet Kiffle are just having a good time!

At the end of summer students once again fill the halls and class­rooms of MVS, and the new school year begins! Everyone returns sun- kissed and golden after the long summer, fresh from new experi­ences and usually ready for the coming work. The transition to the

rigorous schedule that many at MVS face can be tough, but some­how we all do it. Of course there are a few MVS traditions to ease the transition: the Upper School had its annual lap-sit and Student Council-provided picnic. The Mid­dle School had a first day filled

with “get-to-know-you” activities. And watching the Lower School students as they emerge from their cars and minivans to be greeted by their principal on the first morning is always enjoyable! New students often find themselves swept up in the hubbub that characterizes a

first day at Miami Valley. Al­though it is sometimes hard not to think back to warm summer days, the MVS “ family” generally man­ages to make a strong beginning, a sturdy base for the legendary year that will follow.

1. Darren Davis, Rahel Kiffle, Sally Humphrey, and Wilbur Lin clown around while setting up the lap-sit. 2. Eighth graders roam the halls, practicing their own brand of a kickline. 3. Brett Gordon seems to be prepared for his first day of school. 4. Terri McMillan, Varun Mahajan, and Chad Marshall do not seem to be enjoying their first seventh grade science class. 5. Freshmen Adam Sorkin, Harriet Kramer, Jill Hanning, Tommy Lin, and Colin Byrum get to know each other at the lap-sit.

Graduation 1993

“1 now present the Class of 1993!” were the words echoed by Mr, Elmer on June 13 at Victoria Theater. The majority of the - class spoke at gradua­tion exercises.

The class gift was a donation to the Faculty Endow­ment Fund. The class made a banner which was a circular pattern signifying the unity of the class.

ActivitiesThis year there was

a program of after school clubs for Lower School students. It was o ffered three times and coordinated by C herie C raig. Teachers and parents volunteered and head­ed the clubs. They were for all Lower School students (EC- 5). The clubs had p len ty o f variety . There were clubs for dance, acting, foreign languages, se lf-d e ­fense, science, math, instrumental music, and the arts — just to name a few. For the students it was all very exciting and a great success.

ActivitiesColonial Day, Me­

dieval Day, Renais­sance Day . . , There was always something going on in the Lower School as the students were busy learning about other periods of history.

For each o f the days, the students dressed from the time period and had activi­ties helping to cele­brate each one. These days were full of ex­citement and anticipa­tion from the students. Although many of the activities took place early in the year, the students didn’t forget to have a day in the spring. All of these ac­tivities were topped off with a day of bond­ing between students and grandparents on Grandparents Day .,» what fun!

As in past years, e ighth grade students fin­ished off their year­long study of Ameri­can history with a trip to Philadelphia. They visited historic attrac­tions such as Franklin Court, Independence Hall, and the Liberty Bell. As always, Phil- ly’s cuisine was en­joyed as well. In addi­tion, the class made stops at Hershey Park and Amish country in Lancaster County.

Project Period

Seventh Grade stu­dents finished their study of Ohio history with an intense look at “their own backyard.” A three day trip to C incinnati was the highlight of their Pro­ject Period, while oth­er experiences includ­ed throw ingtom ahaw ks, fly ing kites, and assuming the identity of histori­cal figures to deliver first person narratives to classmates.

Sixth grade stu ­dents explored the world of whales via “The Voyage of the Mimi”, an interdisci­plinary program based on a fictitious whaling expedition out of Cape Cod. Video, computer, and other research re­sources were used as students covered top­ics such as ecosystems, whales and their envi­ronment, and naviga­tion. Students visited the Indianapolis Zoo for a program on ma­rine mammals and de­livered oral presenta­tions on a marine- related topic of their choice.

Successions1992-93 was a challenging year for

the staff of Successions. Successions does all work outside of school, during Tuesday lunches, and during students’ own time. For a one hundred thirty-two page book a large amount of motivation is required. Under the leadership of edi­tor Laura Kersh and two faculty advi­sors, Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Griffith, all deadlines were met. The staff developed new layouts this year, took hundreds of pictures, and worked together on Satur­days to select and to crop pictures and to write copy and captions.

Every week at lunch, a group of stu­dents and advisors, Betsy Hughes and Florence Krahling, discuss and vote on both literary and art submissions from the faculty and from the students. Members, led by editors, Kathryn Er­vin, Kavita Kumar, and Lee Ann Was­son, held a bake sale, a T-Shirt sale and a cover design contest. The literary magazine Aesthesia this year included over one hundred poems, short stories, and artwork. A challenge to the group this year was deciding among the won­derful articles and artwork submitted by both Upper School and Middle School students.

Phloem And XylemThis year, the Phloem & Xviem staff

spent time reshaping and redefining the newspaper. There was an issue waiting for the school when they came back in the fall and four more follow ed. Changes in the paper included investi­gative reports, additional graphics, col­or changes, and a middle school page. The staffs enthusiasm led to the addi­tion of a journalism class which began a supplementary newsletter, The Sapling. Members of the staff, led by advisor Dr. Cleary, traveled to Columbus for the annual JEA/National Scholastic Press Convention.

After three years of being named an alternate, Danny Beaty made it to the National Forensics Tournament in In­dianapolis, June 13-18. This wonderful achievement was characteristic of this year’s NFL season, according to advi­sor Florence Krahling. The members competed against larger high schools in local and out of town tournaments and managed to place in the top ten in al­most every one. Highlights included Beaty’s second place finish in dramatic interpretation at State, Jon Nathan’s first place in dramatic extemp at West Carrollton, and Aileen Wagner’s first place in dramatic interpretation at Oakwood. There were many other strong individual performances from the rest of the team, including the fresh­men and novice speakers.

This one- day sim ulation was a rewarding experience for the 31 participants. The delegates from Russia and Angola re­ceived awards of Honorable Mention. Mrs. Inbody also took a group of 19 students to New York City to partici­pate in the National High School Mod­el United Nations Conference. India was the country they represented.

One letter could change the life of a fellow human being who is being denied basic human rights or being held pris­oner for political reasons. The students who devoted their lunch periods on Fri­days to write such letters hope that they have made a difference. Mrs. Elmer and co-presidents Manish Kalvakota and Chris Premanandan were responsi­ble for organizing Amnesty members to see movies about human rights such as “Sarafina!” At the end of the year the group also held Amnesty Fest, a gather­ing of local bands to raise money for Amnesty International. Writing a sin­gle letter may not seem to be a big deal, but when the efforts of thousands of Amnesty International participants are combined, the accomplishments of the worldwide organization are consider­able.

Student C ouncilStudent Council had a productive

year, not only agonizing annual events such as Spirit Week and Anything Goes Day, but also helping with the first Community Service Day and sending the high school to see Malcolm X for the Martin Luther King Day celebra­tion. This group of students, with Presi­dent Jason Schmall and Secretary- Treasurer Jon Nathan, also made contributions to the school, such as a ping-pong table and a camera for year­book. However, student council did not stop here. Another contribution was given to the Dayton Daily News to aid in its food drive. Overall, Student Council had a successful year full of accomplishments. They deserve thanks for a job well done.

The Middle School Choir had an ex­citing year. There were fifteen members from the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. The spring concert was held on April 20. It was an evening of music from movies and Broadway. The Middle School Choir also performed four other times throughout the school year. Concerts were held at Bethany Luthern Village, Town and Country Shopping Center, Carillon Park, and Lincoln Park Man­or. They also performed at Miami Val­ley’s All-School Sing in December.

On W ednesday, April 14, the MVS Upper School held its first Community Ser­vice Day. The project was the fruition of two years of research and planning by a commit­tee of faculty, admin­istration, and students. S tu dents were a s­signed to a variety of community organiza-' tions. On Wednesday they came to school for a quick breakfast and set out. Destina­tions included Cox Ar­boretum , St. V in­c e n t’s, Bethany Lutheran V illage , Aullwood Audubon Center, and SICSA. A variety of tasks were performed — from scrubbing floors and painting walls to baby­sitting and planting seedlings. While de­vouring S tudent Council provided piz­za, participants went over the good and bad, sharing experiences, opinions, and sugges­tions for the future.1.

This year the drama department presented three productions. There was a fall and winter play and a mu­sical in the spring. The productions had much variety. They ranged from small cast seri­ous plays to the large cast all-school musi­cal. Brighton Beach Memoirs was the first production to be pre­sented. This play fo­cused on a Jew ish family and their prob­lems during World War II. The cast found its experience to be a unique one. The winter brought anoth­er serious play, Our Town, by Thornton Wilder. It was per­formed by several high school students. How­ever, there was some­thing different about the way this play was performed.

1, Laurie Nathan reads a book as part of the play Brighton Beach Memoirs. 2. K athryn Ervin calls her imaginary chickens in Our Town. 3. Tim Georoff, Me­lissa Walther, Sam Win­ston, Danny Beaty, Nick Barnard, Claire Enterline, and Rob Signom line up in their costumes before Wiz­ard of Oz. 4. Danny, Sam, and Tim look for Dorothy, 5. Travis Cohen and Pat Carroll share a moment in Brighton Beach. 6. Liz Dy- sert and Chris Premanan- dan talk about the future in Our Town. 7. Danny, Melis­sa, Sam, and Tim are off to see the Wizard.

Instead of finding a cast and incorporating the cast into a play, the play was chosen first, and Mr. Camm, the director, diligently searched for actors and actresses. This production brought about the chance for many new people to try their hand at act­ing and many of the veterans to continue making their acting experience blossom. Nonetheless, the high­light for the drama de­partment was the end of the year all-school musical. The Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools came together to put on a wonderful production of The Wizard of Oz. It was great to see how well everyone worked to­gether. All in all, this was a good year for the drama department and the participants should be commend­ed.

Spirit

W eekSpirit Week ’93 was

as lively as always, full of heated rivalries, overwhelming creativ­ity , and scurrying workers. The four high school classes created some of the most elab­orate skits and hall­ways the school has ever seen. Each group worked around a par­ticular theme: fresh­men, “Spirit (Care) Bear” ; sophomores, “The Ghost of Spirit Past”; juniors, “Beau­ty and the Beast”; sen­iors, “Star Trek”. The council chose Twin Day, International D ay, Pajam a Day, Formal Day and Red and Blue Day as the dress-up days, and participation was out­standing. Hallways were quite artistic this year. Freshmen re-cre­ated the home of the Spirit Bears, “Spirit- a-Lot,” complete with fluffy clouds and rain­bow arches. Juniors presented a castle and snow scene from an animated movie with a working fountain and hand-drawn mural

Sen iors crafted what was perhaps the most dramatic hall­way, coverin g the walls and ceiling with black and using white lights to represent the stars of deep space. Skits were very enter­ta in in g , includ ing original scripts, cos­tumes, and props. The judges had a difficult time selecting the win­ner. However, the jun­iors placed first in hallway, skit, and fruit sale, putting them in a clear first place. Sec­ond and third were ex­tremely close, but the freshmen pulled out ahead, followed by the seniors. Sophomores garnered the fourth place award. The an­nual Spirit Week bas­ketball tournament was also a success. The boys’ varsity team placed first in their category, defeating ri­val Maumee Valley, and the girls came in second. Student Coun­cil sponsored all activ­ities, including the dance that was held on Friday night. Every­one enjoyed partici­pating.

een Dance was once again a success. Stu­dent Council spon­sored this much loved tradition at M .V.S. There were your usual ghouls and goddesses attending this dance, although more people could have dressed up. All who attended this dance felt it was a w onderful success. The annual Winter Dance is another tra­dition loved by the M.V.S. High School. The Junior class spon­sored th is holiday dance, and everyone enjoyed dressing up for this semi-formal occasion. The decora­tions were original with giant Christmas tree ornaments hang­ing above students’ heads. Christmas pre­sent tables complete with wrapping paper and bows, and a black piano topped with a decorated Christmas tree for the finishing touch. It was a great money maker for the juniors as the attend­ance was high.

Spirit W eek was concluded with the p ost-gam e Friday night dance. Student Council provided piz­zas and all of the visit­ing teams were invit­ed. Vegetarian Meat performed. The high­light of the evening was the announcement that the class of 1994 once again dominated Spirit Week. Valen­tin e ’s Day D ance attendance was low, but those that went took advantage of this opportunity to release stress from finals. Nearly everyone at­tended AmnestyFest, the primary fundraiser for the Miami Valley Amnesty Internation­al.

Wonderful Tonight

This year’s prom was “Wonderful To­night” and the evening certain ly was. The junior class had been planning for months to put the event together. This year’s class was excited to have the prom at the Dayton Art Institute. Inside they used round white tables with center­pieces of a dozen red roses, complimentary goblets, and miniature silver trees with lights. A unique part of the event was the opportu­nity provided by the location all of the galleries were open, so prom-goers could en­joy the art. Many also enjoyed the beautiful terrace, which provid­ed a lovely view of downtown D ayton. Dessert, catered by Truffles, was served by a few, brave par­ents.

Im m ersionSix students were able to

reveal their artistic talents during the Artist’s Studio Immersion. We began by experimenting with the dif­ferences between acrylic and oil paints. Our off-cam- pus highlight was a trip to Chicago. The first day was spent at Shedd Aquarium. We spent the remainder of our trip sketching and ad­miring the different artists of the Chicago Art Insti­tute. We also created self- portraits, unique painted stools, and a large final pro­ject on canvas. Overall, you could say that our immer­sion was a “masterpiece.”

Ever wonder about what’s beyond our solar system? Seven students led by Bryan Czarnota studied pulsars, quasars, and galaxies. The daily forecast for the entire four weeks seemed to be ■‘Cloudy.” The students, however, did have a chance to look at the stars once through the telescope. One thing the students will not forget about Immersion is the names of the constella­tions and stars. The group went to various planetarium shows in the Miami Valley. At the end of the term, the students were wishing upon shooting stars for good luck in their final exam.

“I Love a Mystery” was the name of the exciting new immersion program com­posed of nine students and head-sleuth Florence Krahl- ing. A major part of the course was the exploration of mystery through reading — an anthology of detective fiction, The Detective Story, and at least two books by a modern mystery writer of each student’s choosing. In class, these stories were dis­cussed, mystery movies were viewed, mystery games were played, and dramatic inter­pretations were presented by the students. A highlight of this immersion was a trip to Burr Oak State Lodge for a “mystery weekend.” They also travelled to a mystery book store and listened to many experts. The immer­sion closed with the sharing of final projects, many of which were original mystery stories.1. “I Love a Mystery” takes a break from detective work for a group shot.

‘Creative Computing was a ’93 Immersion that truly lived up to its expectations, according to sophomore Amit Ghandi. The group of 5 sophomores and juniors, led by Mr. Graetz, spent their four weeks learning Pascal language on Macin­tosh computers. They later applied this new knowledge to use a program called RoboWar, in which they created a robot using stack language. On the last day, Mr. Graetz and the students held a tournament to test the best programmed robot. Eugene Polonsky finished on top with 20 collective wins. Other activities during the month included field trips to the Wright Patter­son Air Force Base, a com­puter expo in Cincinnati, a local robotics lab, and Edge and Tinney Architecture to view computer program­ming as it applies in the field.2.

Im m ersionHow do we develop a self-

idenity within the context of the groups, community and culture in which we live? In the Society and Self Immer­sion we tried to answer this question through an intro­ductory class in sociology. Our immersion consisted of two parts, classroom activi­ty and experiential commu­nity placements. The class time centered around the college textbook. The Socio­logical Quest: Principles of Sociology, by David Mi­chael Orenstein. The class- work was difficult, but we finished the entire book. Each student was placed in an agency where community service was part of its opera­tion. Each learned about so­ciology through observa­tion.M r. P rice , Becki Q uam , M r.

The promise of sunny streets and outside cafes lured sixteen students to vis­it Spain. Students studied Spanish art, culture, geog­raphy, history, and lan­guage. Our first stop was the city of Barcelona, where the work of Gaudi entranced us all. We then travelled to the city of Madrid, taking day trips to Segovia and Toledo. Next was the city of Cordo­ba, followed by Sevilla, where we were able to see a Flamenco show. Our final destination was the resort town of Marbella, on the Costa del Sol in Andalucia. Students enjoyed the chance to see another culture and practice their language.

The Gifts of the Wings Immersion allowed ten stu­dents the opportunity to soar with the birds. Headed by Mr. Squires, this group learned the ins and outs of flying, aviation history and even had hands on experi­ence in a Cessna 150. Three days a week were spent at Moraine Airport where they attended F light school. When the students were not in classes, time was spent on field trips including the Air Force Museum and the uti­lization of the flight simula­tor at Wright Patt. Each in­d iv idual bu ilt a m odel airplane, an activity that contributed to the under­standing of a plane’s struc­ture and dynamics. Ulti­mately, there was a sense of freedom.

When the Immersion pro­gram began, no one really knew what to expect of earth science. Although it included a large amount of classroom study, it turned out to be very enjoyable. The class took several field trips, some of which were . Omnimax in Cincinnati, Dayton Museum of Natural History, and three days at Camp Kern. The groups were mixed and this gave the freshmen a chance to get to know each other better. In the Immersion program the freshmen got a chance not only to learn about the earth and its wonders but also a chance to learn about them selves, their c la ss­mates, and the teachers in­volved. It was definitely a worthwhile experience!

This year I decided to spend my immersion with several doctors that worked in different fields of medicine. To receive a variety of fields of medicine, I shadowed a pedia­trician, a family practician, and an ear specialist. When I was with Dr. Saddiqi, I basically watched him look at whining children with the flu. After this week, I decided against a lifetime of cranky, little kids. Dr. Kersh was able to expose me to very large variety of the different aspects of medicine. Dr. Goldenberg gave me the opportunity to watch and observe surgery. If you like blood and gore, surgery is the field for you. Thanks to these doctors, I got an insight into the field of medicine.

I used my Immersion as a way of exploring the medical field. The first two weeks of my Immersion were spent at a dermatologist’s office, and the last two weeks were spent in a pediatrician’s clinic. Observing the two separate practices was very helpful to me because it allowed me to compare the fields and the structures of each practice. This opportu­nity was enjoyable since it involved actually seeing how a practice is run. It was also beneficial because I learned about medicine in general and I saw what is involved in the profession.

When I began thinking of an independent immersion, I knew that I wanted to work with marine mammals. The Clearwater Marine Science Center is an organization dedi­cated to marine life. I worked at the center for five weeks. I was at the center from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. A typical day consisted of preparing turtle food upon arrival at the center. Each afternoon, immediate­ly after lunch, I began preparing dolphin food for the next day. I concluded each day by following a check list of the chores as well as running errands for the center. Volunteer­ing at the Clearwater Marine Science Center allowed me the opportunity to have hands-on experience with beautiful, marine wildlife.

Always having been interested in politics, I hoped to pursue this field during my independent Immersion. Ketter­ing Foundation became my place of employment for the program. I was able to take part in two of their major projects. The first investigates the drop in American citi­zenship. The second project works to inform participants on controversial issues facing our society, and I designed a guidebook for high school students. My four weeks at the Foundation provided me with a look into the inner workings of a political “think-tank” and gave me a grasp of the manner in which many of the problems of this country are solved.

My tri-level teaching internship proved to be an extreme­ly rewarding experience. The immersion consisted of one week of research, one week of assistant teaching in an Olive Hill Elementary kindergarten class, two days of teaching poetry to fourth graders at M.V.S. as well as observing at Oakwood and Patterson High Schools. This immersion helped me to understand what goes on at different levels of teaching by exposing me to different schools and teachers. I’ve learned that teaching at any level is hard work, dedica­tion, and most of all, patience. It hasn’t shaped my feelings on what level I want to teach because I enjoyed them all; however, it has strengthened my feelings that I do want to be a teacher.

Scott E rvin‘‘I

C hris P rem anandanStepping into the vet’s office for four weeks, I looked

forward to watching Dr. Tinney and Dr. Betts treat illnesses of various household pets. I quickly found I had many misconceptions regarding the profession. It was surprising to discover that charisma is needed with human clients as well. I also learned the great responsibility that the nurses and animal technicians had upon them. They must restrain unruly patients, preventing harm. I was taught several tech­niques for holding pets; my air of inexperience was quickly detected and dealt with by several patients. But through all the hisses and scratches, I learned that vets and animals technicians enter the profession due to love in their hearts for animals.

My Immersion was as independent study of missionary activity in the early Manichaean religion, which was estab­lished in the Sasoncan Empire by Mani Khayya in the Third Century C.E. This religion is important not only because of its theological influence on early Christianity, but also because it spread all over Europe, Asia, and North Africa with some degree of doctrinal uniformity. The pur­pose of my Immersion was to complete a paper discussing some missionary influence on Manichaeism, and I spent much of my time in various libraries. The study of ancient culture and religion involves much work but is very reward­ing as one learns new things about the world and its past.

W illiam KingI took my Immersion opportunity to study a special inter­

est of mine, veterinary medicine. Two weeks were spent with Dr. Barry Diehl of the Alex-Bell Veterinary Clinic. Here I was able to observe the daily office procedures including check-ups, treatments, and surgeries. My second two weeks were spent at Veterinary Associates in Xenia. Here, I observed one of the many veterinarians, Dr. Amy Dicke, who is primarily a large animal veterinarian. Three times a week, I travelled with her on large animal calls. The other days, I observed office calls on small animals. I found large animals more interesting. Overall, I had a very suc­cessful Immersion, learning more than I ever expected and enjoying all of my memorable experiences.

Halloween Legends

Most students at Miami Valley consid­er themselves beyond superstition — they don’t believe in mon­sters, ghosts, or witch­es — but Halloween is special. It is a day when the line between real and supernatural becom es blurred, a time for pretending, a chance to put on a mask and becom e something else. Stu­dents and faculty both take advantage of this opportunity, and the resulting outfits can be elaborate, creative, frightening, hilarious, and even beautiful. El­ementary students an­nually invade Upper School halls in their impressive parade of costumes. New to this year was the faculty’s surprise performance at morning announce­ments. Dressed in cos­tumes of black, they belted out their own version of the Addams Family theme song; “The MVS Family.” Everyone present en­joyed the tim e to break out of the nor­mal routine and par­ticipate in the parades, pranks, dances, tricks, treats, and terror that filled Halloween at MVS.

Activities includ­ed games such as the football throw, goblet toss, and fish pond. Also popular was face painting and the dart throw. Children were allowed to take pic­tures with a clown and Mrs. Kretzler, the Up­per School art teacher became a highlight as she parachuted in for the activities. To top off the day, the Par­ents’ Association sold flowers and cotton candy. The fair was enjoyed by children and even high- schoolers. Overall, it was a successful event which was fun for all.

Winners of the All-Area awards were Molly Jackson (second team singles), Krista Isaacs and Heather Da­vis (third team doubles), and Erica Weis (honorable men­tion singles). Debi Weis dis­played incredible endurance in two marathon matches against Tipp City and her second round of the sectional tourna­ment (three hours each). Their ranking this year was third in Division II and seventh in all schools, regardless of size. Eri­ca Weis finished her last sea­son as the school record holder in most career wins with an in­credible ninety-three wins. The Most Valuable Player award went to Molly Jackson. Erica and Debi Weis received the Team Player Awards. Finish­ing the season with a 15-5 record, M iami V alley re­mained a major force among the area’s tennis teams.

In every sports team there is growth and development. This is certainly the case for the 1992 girls’ junior varsity tennis team. Coach Bruce Hunts­barger witnessed an increase in skill, confidence and responsi­bility. Players also displayed great consideration for each other and a high level of sports­manship. Next season should be terrific, as the girls have in­creased their abilities through competitive match play and are ready to improve this year’s 2-8 record. The highlight of the season was a 3-2 win over Sid­ney. Harriet Kramer received the most improved player award. According to Coach Huntsbarger, the year’s biggest achievement was “the best team sweatshirts in town!” Ev­eryone is looking toward next season to im prove sk ills through competition.

With seven returning sen­iors, the team had great expec­tations, for the season. The team had speed, strength, and 100% committment. After the first two games, the team was already ranked in the top ten of Division Two schools. The two highlights of the season were the second place finish in the Maumee tournament in which the championship match was determined in a penalty shoot­out and the victory over #7 Miamisburg, a Division One school. In all, the schedule was much tougher than last year, but the team handled it well. Congratulations to Myron Cal- lier for becoming the first MVS soccer player to be named all state. For the team of 1993, we expect great things under Coach Burgess’s mas­tery. M ike D aliehau was named most valuable player and Darren Davis was the team player.

Coach Bryan Czarnota

The goal of the junior varsity soccer team was to develop skills and team unity. With this goal in mind, the JV soccer team was a success despite their 0-12-1 record. The major accomplishment of the team was that as the season pro­gressed, the teamwork among the players improved. Many of the players will move to the varsity level next year and fill the void left by the seniors. The best game of the season was a 3-2 loss in sudden death over­time against Cincinnati Coun­try Day on a penalty kick. This game showed evidence of the sportsmanship and spirit of the team, as the team never gave up during the game. Rahul Ballal won the team’s most valuable player award. Next year, it’s back to the basics with a new class of freshmen for Coach Czarnota to whip into shape.

The golf program at MVS faced a new change. Under the coach, Maria Ferraro, there were for the first time two golf teams: a varsity and a junior varsity golf team. The varsity went 3-14 against powerhouse teams like Seven Hills and Beavercreek, and the JV team went 3-3 in their season. Jon Nathan won the most im­proved player award by im­proving his average over last year. Steve Collier was the medalist of the season with an average of 49 strokes per match. The golfers improved their swings and their putting throughout the year and saw that they could play with the top teams in the area during the golf sectionals. Miss Bar­nett assisted with the coaching this year. To help Ms. Ferraro remember the season, the golf team presented her with a mug with a hole through it. Next year they hope to putt their way to another hole-in-one sea­son. It should be possible with nine players returning to swing away at another season.

The team won the MVS tournament, which had not happened for the pre­vious six years. The team also defeated arch-rival Seven Hills. In the sectional tourna­ment, the team had to face the number one ranked team, which ended the team’s hopes early. Two awards were given out at the Winter Sports des­sert banquet.

The JV boys’ basketball team had to prove to them­selves, to the school, and to the fans that they were good. One of the most admirable players is Brent Craig who chose to play JV. He led the JV team as both a point guard and a sup­porter of his fellow teammates. As the winner of the Leader­ship Award, Brent said about the achievement of the team, “We changed the way JV was looked upon by the MVS popu­lation.” A highlight of the sea­son was beating Tri-Country North after losing last year by 70 poin ts. C oach G lenn Squiers gave his team confi­dence in themselves and their skills.

For the first time in years, height was a factor that the girls’ varsity team possessed. This physical advantage led Coach Glisson to anticipate a strong season. Unfortunately, he was somewhat disappointed by the girls’ record of 7-10. “I felt like we all worked. I don’t know — maybe we just didn’t push hard enough,” said junior Laura Kersh. Despite this neg­ative aspect, there were bright spots — an exciting Spirit Week game, an intense victory over Maranatha, and a crush­ing defeat of Lake Ridge in the season’s final game. Seniors Smith and Magnuson provided height, leadership, and experi­ence. Juniors E ikenbery, Gupta, Kersh, and Young showed signs of improvement. Glisson and Kiffle, the team’s sophomores, were both strong guards. Four new freshmen joined the group. Smith said, “What I enjoyed most was be­ing able to do something with mixed classes, working togeth­er.” If judged in terms of these aspects — teamwork, growth, enjoyment — the girls’ season was a definite success.

Despite the fact that the team had a lack of pitchers fac­ing a twenty game season, the staff managed to hold its own with the new additions of Vijay Nuthakki and Chris Gedrites. Also, in addition to the excel­lent managerial skills of Victor Giannotta, the squad received training from Robert Guliano, a former umpire and minor league player. Sadly, in spite of the team’s devotion and spirit, the Rams suffered through a losing season. The highlight of the season both defensively and offensively was at Middletown Christian where the team won 6-4. At the Sports Banquet Brent Craig was named the most dedicated player and Steve Collier was named the most valuable player.

The best performance of the season was a game the team won against Centerville’s J.V. The team concentrated on learning the basics of the game and developing their team­work. Burak Elmas was named Most Valuable Player and Brandon England Team Play­er.100

Hi

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Another year comes to a close; another group of sen­iors says goodbye, looking forward to the challenges of

tomorrow, holding on to the memories of yesterday. An­other sports season of sweat, blood and tears, full of vic­tories and defeats. Another year of crowded dance

floors. Another year of all- nighters cramming for chal­lenging examinations. An­other year o f m em bers selflessly dedicating their valuable lunch time to clubs

— from yearbook to Am­nesty International. “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.”

1. FLAME students Craig Horenstein,Brandon England, Jon Nathan, Laura Kersh, Becki Quam and Mrs. Hughes. 2, Ryushi Fujii scores the first run of the game against Yellow Springs. 3.

The last day of school causes a variety of reactions in different people. Some feel relief to have made it through the year and have

an entire summer ahead. Others throw themselves into some sort of celebration— a party, the first dip in the swimming pool. The end

of school can also spur some reflective thought charac­terized by happiness and some regret. Students are leaving, friends are moving

apart, and no one knows what changes may occur over the summer. The year has passed, and never again will there be another like it.

Becki Quam and Ken Williford goof around in the commons before morning announcements. 2. M att McHale asks, “What are we going to do in class today?” 3. Andy Kim peruses a rather large volume while communing with Mrs. Elmer’s constrictor, Monty. 4. Meaghan Smith, Bijal Desai, and Jenny Taylor take advantage of a sunny spring day when they stay to watch a baseball game.5. Several members of the freshman class visited the Ohio Renaissance Festival during the fall to add an element of experiential learning to their study of T.H. White’s Once and Future King.
