At the Miami Valley School there is no shortage of clubs and organization to satiate a student's interests. From publications to acting, students and faculty participated in weekly activities that served to broaden their horizons and allow them a peek into other realms of academia and art. Each student unleashed his zeal into one or more activities which furthered his experience and excitement at MVS.

The 97-98 school year was a time of change for the school yearbook Successions. Benjy Lowry ascended from Editor-in-Chief to fill the new role of Senior Editor-in- Chief. With his quiet, unassuming ways, Benjy piloted the yearbook in new directions. He was com petently aided by Co-Editors-in-Chief C h e th ra M u th iah and K alp a n a Reddy. The long transition to com pu ter w as fin ished th is year, as 100% of the yearbook was com pleted on computer. The layouts, which had rem ained virtually unchanged for four years, were redesigned and given a new look. Further coverage of the M iddle School was allowed with the creation of the M iddle School Bureau, headed by eighth grader Susan Braunlin. To recognize the growing Fine Arts curriculum, Successions featured four new pages on the choir and music programs. The yearbook reached an excellent level this year, displaying the finest photographs, printing superb journalism , and, most importantly, preserving the best memories.

This year for Student Council has been a year of progress and accomplishment. President Tory Ross and Secretary-Treasurer Sarah Walters added a new dimension to the organization with their constant willingness to support the student body. Numerous accomplishments included year round spirit activities, a weU attended Halloween Dtnce, and the revision of the notorious “Anything Goes Day.” The highlight of the year was possibly the overwhelming success of the Thanksgiving Can Drive. The Student Council promoted the event as an opportunity for spirit points, which resulted in the collection of over four barrels of caimed goods. The success of the 1997-98 school year definitely stemmed from the dedication and commitment of the Student Council.1. Em ily Lutter carefully considers a s tu d e n t p ro p o sa l. 2. R oss Schneiderman, Jason Nephew, and SteWart Adam listen attentively. 3. President Tory Ross and Secretary- Treasurer S arah Walters lead a m eeting. 4.

CrossCultural Alliance
Cross Cultural Alliance continued to prosper in its second year as a club at The Miami Valley School. With Varun Mahajan as president, the group worked together to discuss issues of race, gender, faith, poverty, or any related topic. The highlight of the year was the trip to the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. The group also sponsored a Battle of the Bands concert to raise money for the Rwanda Hope organization. CCA hopes to make the Washington trip an annual event, each year visiting a different museum or site.

Drama
During 1997-98, the actors of the Upper School once again entertained the community with several successful productions. Although nothing was presented in the fall, the drama program found itself to be very busy in the winter and spring trimesters. In the winter they performed “Twelve Angry People,” in which a jury deliberates the fate of an accused. “Snoopy” was performed in the spring and was a great success. Such successes in drama did not only apply to the high school, but to the middle school as well, where the student production o f “O liver Twist” drew large crowds. Mr. Blunt directed the play. Ivooking to the future, Tom Elmer commented, “We look forward to continued excellence from the MVS thespian community.”

Even as the Miami Valley School grows larger, its time-honored traditions are carefully preserved to continue MVS's legacy. Every student's favorite of such traditions is, without a doubt, "The Twelve Days of Christmas," sung during the annual All School Carol Sing. Students demonstrate class pride as they vie with each other to sing their respective verse the loudest. The Carol Sing this year was updated thanks to the efforts of the Cross Cultural Alliance. Several ethnically diverse songs were introduced into this year's repertoire. Everybody enjoyed these new additions and it was the general consensus that even the best of traditions needs a little revising now and then. This all-school event brought the MVS community together one last time before it separated for two weeks of winter break.

this year's prom took place at Meadowbrook Country Club, in North Dayton. Record numbers of students and faculty gathered on May second for the long awaited night. Titled, "In the Midnight Hour," after the famous song, the prom was beautifully decorated and arranged by the Junior class. As students and faculty arrived, they were greeted by friends and sparkling decorations. Arose was provided for each of the ladies, and everyone received a commemorative glass. With great giisto, students and faculty alike participated in both slow and fast dances. Some Senior guys added flair by performing a disco revival for the amusement of all. After the last song was played and the last dance was danced, students parted, only to regroup at afterprom festivities to party the night away.

The Renaissance Connection
The Classical Renaissance Connection, led by Mrs. Inbody and Mrs. Kretzler, focused on the study of Greek and Italian art. For the first two weeks, students had classroom lectures on artists and the history of the two cultures. Videos and filmstrips were shown to prepare students for the artwork and landmarks they would see while overseas. The next two weeks were spent touring and sightseeing in Greece, and Italy. In Greece, the highlight was the island of Crete. While on the island, the group spent time at the ruins of Knossos, visited the archeology museum, and amused themselves in the small town. In Italy, stops were made in the cities o f Venice, F lo rence, and Rome. By the time the trip was over, no one wanted to see another Madonna!

Habitat For Humanity
The Habitat for Humanity Immersion was an experiment in all aspects of its program. Ten students and three teachers journeyed to South Carolina with little knowledge about the construction of a house, and were expected to create a shelter for a deserv ing person in need. Throughout the four weeks, this group explored the art of construction, the history of South Carolina, and the philosophy of Habitat for Humanity. The group completed the entire frame of one house and managed to drywall and construct a closet and a porch for their rehab site. The Habitat for Humanity Immersion was quite astonished at the accom- plishinents conceived during the short period.

Seven students spent their Immersion period with Mr. Vincent Romeo in Filmmaker: The Critic. Studying the technical aspects of film, viewing newly-released movies on Fridays, and participating in the infamous oral quizzes, which covered film terminology and 198 films, aided the students in their understanding and critical thinking. Alfred Hitchcock’s films and imitations were concentrated on as a focus of the use of angles, camera shots, and light. One of the highlights was writing, directing, and acting in the class production of a hoiror film, “Out Takes.” The students agreed that “putting together a movie is a lot harder than anyone told [them] it would be,” but a final product was put together and the class was proud of their accomplishments.
The freshmen enjoy a presentation at Camp Kern.

Earth Science
Under the leadership of Mrs. Griffith, Dr. Birdi, and Mrs. Mack, this year’s Earth Science Immersion proved to be a success. The main objective of this course was to study forces that shape the earth through a scientific and mythological approach. Field trips included a geology trip to Glen Helen and Clifton Gorge, a waste management trip, and an additional trip to the Dayton Museum of Discovery. While in class, students took three courses: Forces that Shape the Earth, Orientation of the Earth, and Mythology. The highlights of the Immersion were the trips to Camp Kern and Hocking Hills . Overall, the experience was positive and the students enjoyed a new form of learning.

MiddleSchool
ActivitiesThe 1997-98 school
year proved a very active one for the Miami Valley Middle School. Beginning the year, all three grades overnighted at Joy Outdoor Education Center. These three days, full of ,comedic mishaps and intriguing adventures, created new friendships and reaffirmed old, paving the way for a great year. Also early in the year, an afternoon at Woodhaven Pool provided opportunity for students to unwind after a few weeks of school. In the winter trimester, the entire school took a trip to COST to learn about science the fun way. The eighth grade thoroughly enjoyed their last MS trip to COST, the seventh graders liked the time away from school, and the sixth grade absorbed amazing amountsoi information since it was their first trip.

ProjectPeriod
Project Period provides, for Middle School students, a period during which a group of intimately related subjects are studied in great detail through experiential methods. The sixth grade, led by Mrs. Eikenbery, participated in a simulation of Ancient Egyptians culture. During the second week they stayed on the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and worked with Egyptologists, Anthropologists, and Research Librarians. Under the guidance of Mrs. Rinn, the seventh grade, extended the Ohio History course and studied the growth of two river cities, Dayton and Cincinnati. They learned of the industries and immigration in the two cities, as well as the damages done by the Dayton flood.

ProjectPeriod
The eighth grade, directed by Mr. Glisson, examined the difficult life of the Amish, learned about the Battle of Gettysburg, and studied Shaker towns. They experienced the everyday toil of the Amish by hand stitching small qiiilts. Students practiced their choral abilities by singing Amish and Shaker songs, and even wrote an Amish sermon, which traditionally, is sung. For the second week of Project Period, the eighth grade journeyed to Gettysburg and toured the Civil War battlefield. From Gettysburg, they m oved on to Lancaster County to visit the Amish. They ended their last Project Period ever with a trip to Hens hey Park, also in Pennsylvania. The 1998 Project Period was a great educational experience for the entire Middle School.

JV Golf had a terrific season record, 5-5, led by first year Coach Bryan Czarnota. Coach Czarnota instilled a two pillar philosophy for the season: to have fun and to improve the team's fundamentals and overall game. Fortunately, they were able to achieve both and have a successful season with many tremendous improvements. Chris Young was awarded MIP for his continuous hard work and effort. "Both the players and I benefited from this great experience," said Coach Czarnota.

MVS Track & Field
Coaches Blunt and Inbody
Both Middle and Upper school track teams experienced a great increase in new runners this year. These new competitors were anchored by several returning veterans. As a result of rigorous practices everyday following dismissal, the runners showed great improvement. Several school records were set this season, evidence of the talent and skill possessed by the teams. The Upper School girls' 400iti relay team set an MVS record, as did Middle Schoolers Becky Adam, who long jumped 13'5", and Aron Mohan, who ran the 100m and 200m events. The Middle School boys' 400m relay also made MVS history with a time of 59.9 seconds. Senior Mike Sosebee, on .'oan from the Varsity Baseball team, competed in several events including the 100m and 800m runs. Coaches Blunt and Inbody believe that the many runners will continue to improve, and are looking forward to next year’s team, especially with the addition of this j'ear's competitive eighth grade runners.

us Girls' Softball
Though many thought there was not going to be a team, Coaches Shannon Tully and Karen Dunson pulled together and found a group of girls who were dedicated to playing softball. The eleven girls had seven games scheduled, but due to the rainy weather, they were only able to play four games. The individuals developed their already superior skills. Some took on a new position in a sacrifice to the team. Most of all, the girls were able to maintain positive attitudes throughout the season. The award of Ms. Hustle went to Freshman Greer Harewood and Junior Lauren Katz received the Coaches' Award.

MS Girls' Softball
This was a prosperous year for the Girls’ Middle School Softball team, even though the statistics do not reflect that. The team, which consisted of a few veteran players but many more newcomers, had a great deal of fun during the season. Fans watched games with excitement as they saw each girl’s skills grow. Team members learned how to play and develop their skills in catching, hitting, and fielding. Coach Pam Miller commented, “They learned some strategy and best of aU, learned to depend upon each other as a team. I look forward to next year. It will be fun!”
