Halloween
Every Halloween, Lower School students dress up in costumes and parade through Upper and Lower School hallways. This year there were devils and unicorns, Indian princesses and hula girls, cheerleaders and race car drivers, even a spider and a box of crayons. Grades six down to EC Juniors joined in, along with teachers and staff, as they promenaded around to show off their clever disguises. Later that afternoon, the students participated in their annual classroom Halloween parties, which had the usual ghoulish treats.

Giggles, happiness, all around silliness and seriousness characterize the Lower School. Once again Miami Valley succeeded in expanding the number of activities available for students. They conducted the annual Halloween parade as well as something new known as French Day. The students always have fun in constructing the future with Legos as well as learning about the real future with computers. When life gets tough for these youngsters at school, they enjoy playing sports for a relaxing tension breaker.

Model U.N.The Model United Nations group,
headed by Fran Inbody, was very successful during the '90-'91 school year. Thirty-nine students attended a Model United Nations Conference at the University of Dayton. The group received three awards. The delegation from the United States received an Outstanding Award while the delegates from Lebanon and Iran won awards of distinction. In New York City the conference was attended by 150 other schools and the delegation from Iraq recevied an award of merit. All three delegations of Iraq, Mali, and Iceland did a great job.

Amnesty International has been proving once again the pen is mightier than the sword. Under the new direction of Jenifer Van Vleck and advisor Chad Speight, Amnesty has been working to free the people who are allegedly under the injustices of cruel governments. This year with the help of announcements, educational videos, and the Amnesty International Dance, Amnesty has gathered more followers and is losing the reputation of a political organization. Amnesty's strength lies in the members committed to the human right's cause and the love of freedom.

This year the Miami Valley School has a new addition to the winter sports season — cheerleaders. They filled the Ramdome and lighted up the games with their spirited cheers. Even when the Rams were not doing so well, the cheerleaders kept the spirit. They motivated the team to "Go! Go! Go!" Over all, the Ram cheerleaders had a good season with all of their hard work paying off. They had fun and were able to bond. At the winter sports banquet, Rahel Kiffle received an award for the Most Improved Cheerleader and Rebeccah Quam received the Most Spirited Cheerleader award.

High School students took a field trip to Centerville High School where they experienced the moving program on drunk driving. The Dayton Opera, the Human Race, and a brass quintet allowed the students to taste the fine arts that surround Dayton, while a former Artist-in-Resident, Seona McDowell, returned from Australia to sing folk songs from Down Under. The traditional Martin Luther King, Jr. assembly was a success with beautiful readings and speeches by students and faculty as well as by Artist-in-Resident Omope Daboiku.

Spirit Week was bigger and better than ever. All classes competed heatedly to walk away as the winners of this year's Spirit Week. Hallways were unusually creative, the seniors created “Wonderland", the juniors, "Under the Sea", and the freshmen, "Oprah W infrey Show". Along with the traditional red and blue and formal dress-up days, Spirit Week included dress- in-the-dark day and opposite-sex day. The surprise of the week was the eighth graders first-place skit, a battle of the jocks and the nerds. The can drive went well, and basketball attendance was high. Finally as Spirit Week came to an end with the highly anticipated basketball tournament, the winners were announced . . . (the envelope please) . . . Congratulations to the class of 1991.

With Mr. Camm and Mrs. Hughes a uiiique study was made of both Quebec and New Orleans under French culture. The firs t two weeks, the class finished both A Street Car Named Desire and The Awakening. In the third week, the class travelled to Quebec where a two- night homestay took place. Most of the students recognized the French accents and had a taste of the traditional foods. Upon returning home, the students spent their last week giving oral reports. Erin Castle commented upon return, “ Quebec was wonderful, truly a different culture."

W hen F ilm m aking started, the students were all familiar with some of the fundamentals of film, but after this four-week Immersion, students were leaving the theatres comm enting on the techniques of direction, the angles, and the editing. Students viewed over twenty-five movies, checking out the afternoon box office smash each Friday. Students studied master of suspense, Hitchcock, The Godfather series and actor M arlon Brando. The students created and filmed their own movie — a thriller entitled Psycho V.

This group of eight students were exposed to the various technical aspects of picture taking and the development of their own film. Mrs. Rion, once again, generously taught her own secrets of taking quality photos and the prime locations to take them. At the Immersion Open House, the students displayed their talented skills with a variety of shots.

Mistaken identity and romantic feuds were among the experiences of Books, Bards, and Broadway. Students experimented with impro- visational techniques and chose cuttings which they casted, directed, and acted in. They also had a chance to travel to many different theatres in the Day- ton-Cincinnati area. The cooperative atmosphere within the group lent itself to some enjoyable dramatic readings and actual performances of various genres of plays.

sion was an interesting
and action-packed month. The beautiful scenery was a highhght as the group traveled through Georgia and Florida. The most exciting event was a tropical storm. The tents began to blow away while the group used new skills to handle the situation. Hiking and bike rides were taken which kept the kids, and adults, in good shape. Overall, the trip was a success and everyone learned a great deal about the ecology of the swamp.

Lloyd Huber
Ophthalmolgy, a branch of medical science dealing with the structure, functions, and diseases of the eye, and orthopedics, the correction and prevention of skeletal deformities, was the focus of Lloyd Huber's independent study. The first two weeks found Lloyd studying with Dr. Bullock and his associate Dr. Purdy, both opthalmo- logists. While there, Lloyd observed several surgical procedures and looked into patients' eyes via a high-power microscope. During the second two weeks, he watched several surgeries with Dr. Quinn, an orthopedic doctor. From this study Lloyd began to admire the stamina, intelligence, and devotion which the doctors had in their field.
Dawn Washington spent her four week Immersion as an observer of the financial department for the city school district of Dayton. Dawn worked in the Dayton Board of Education Building located downtown. With the help of Dr. Don Oldges and Mrs. Shirley Strange, Dawn was able to get a first hand view of how financial decisions were made. She also helped to develop a book which contained budget requests for all departments in the Dayton City School District. Dawn was also fortunate enough to attend meetings in which many of the financial problems of the city school district were discussed and where solutions could be made.

Have you ever been in a room with a murderer? Well, Kara Nixon did that this year during her internship with the law firm Apperson, Crump, Duzane, and Maxwell located in Memphis, Tennessee. Kara performed a variety of tasks from making copies to attending actual court cases. Kara not only learned from the firm, but also contributed to the firm's success through her dedicated research. Kara remarked that she learned a lot about the field of law, and confirmed her hope of becoming a lawyer.
Kara Nixon Matt Cleary
Don't you wish you could fix your own car rather than take it to a mechanic? And don't you wish you could be part of the excitement of a race team? Well, Matt Cleary now knows how to do just that, especially if your car happens to be a production-based Oldsmobile Calais Quad 442. Matt worked with Paul and Karl Hacker, past champion drivers at the series in 1989. Matt learned to jack up cars, take off tires, change suspension struts and put on anti-roll bars. His team went to a race in Florida and came in second. %
Doug Kim spent his four weeks of Immersion working as an architectural intern for Brandenburg Architects, Inc. in Centerville, As he had no experience in drafting, most of his activity was limited to running errands. However, he seemed to learn a surprising amount about the trade — how an architect must comply with specific safety codes, how an architect has to design a building under a limited budget. When asked about his internship, he says, "I learned a great deal from my experience and it convinced me to pursue this field of study in the future."
Douglas Kim Amelia Fuhrer
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a large museum? Thanks to the independent immersion option, Amelia Fuhrer was able to find out. During an internship with Pam Houk at the Dayton Art Institute, Amelia spent most of her time working in the Experiencenter activity room which showed an exhibit from Reggio Emilia showing an approach to early childhood education. Children came in for tours of the Experiencenter and for a workshop in the activity room. Amelia enjoyed learning about the philosophy of the educational approach and watching children use art as a learning tool.
Anne Witty
Did you ever want to switch places with a teacher? Well, that is what Anne Witty did for her Immersion. Anne worked as a student aid for a fifth grade class at Dr. John Hole School. Anne had many responsibilities. Her job involved observing the class, grading papers, reading to the class, helping individual students, giving spelling tests and spelling bees, working with literature groups, running the Odyssey of the M ind meetings, and actually teaching a few classes. Anne also wrote a case study of an individual student. Teaching was a very unique experience for Anne, and she will always remember her 1991
independent Immersion.
Just what does a minister do all day? If you have ever asked this question, talk to John Czarnota. This year for his Immersion he interned with Glenn Oswald, director of Miami Valley Outdoor Ministries and counseled twelve young men in a first communion retreat. He spent the next two weeks with Pastor Bengson of Bethel Lutheran Church. He participated in the planning of many church events. A sermon was given as his final project. The fact that the ministry is not a competitive industry is just one of the many things John learned. He had to admit in the end that despite the hard work, it had been fun.

The second week the class went to Philadelphia and Pennsylvania where they visited Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, a Philadelphia- Montreal baseball game, the Ben Franklin Science In
stitute, an Amish farm to see how people survive without electricity, a school, and on the way home everyone enjoyed a stop in the chocolate capital, Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The seventh grade class closed the year with a two- week study of the two river cities, Dayton and Cincinnati.

During the 1990 Girls' Varsity Soccer season, there was a new face on the soccer fields, Mr. Ken Mosier. Ken Mosier, who teaches at Brookville High School, drove 30 minutes every afternoon to MVS in order to coach the Girls' Varsity Soccer team into a victorious season, which he was close to achieving. The girls had one of their most successful seasons, receiving second place in the Miami Valley School tournament, losing to Belmont and playing an aggressive year. The MVP of the year was the captain, Robin Minturn, who scored her first goal of the entire four years she has been playing as fullback. MIP was newcomer and senior, Autumn Kosewic, a most deserving candidate. Congratulations on a successful year!

Lloyd Huber and Myron Callier made All-Area 1st Team. Jeremy Riddell made All-Area 2nd Team with Darrell Jones rounding out the team's honors making All-Area Honorable Mention. One of the successful changes made this year was going from a 4-3-3 defense to a 3-4-3 defense which the players used very well. The team took second place in the Bellbrook Kickoff Classic and Lloyd Huber, Matt Cleary, and Myron Callier made the all-tourney team. Great Job!

Girls'
Varsity
Basketball
Coach Bill Glisson
Girls Varsity Basketball had a great year. The team was composed of both veteran players and newcomers. The single senior, Chelsea Wall, who was playing for her first full year, cleaned up the court as foreward with her partner, Liz Magnuson. The basketball team also had a growth spurt with sisters Laura and Lisa Kersh joining the team at 5'10" to lead MVS to victory. Amy Eikenbery and Anju Gupta played in some of the games demonstrating with a b it more experience they would be undefeated. Congratulations to freshman, Anya Young, who as guard, set a school record for the girls with the first and most three pointers scored. This year MIP was Laura Kersh and MVP was graduating senior, Chelsea Wall, Next year, with all the experience, Mr. Glisson is optimistic about the future.

Coaches Wendling and Emoff
The Junior Varsity Basketball team ended with a losing record, but most of the games were very close. Led by a new coach, Mitch Emoff, a 1978 MVS graduate, and Jim Wendling, the team's best efforts were displayed in the games against Middletown Christian and Landmark Christian. Both were great turn-arounds. The first time, MVS lost to Middletown by 36 points, but on the second by one point in overtime. Against Landmark, MVS lost by 46 points (before Christmas). In the final game of the season MVS only lost by seven points. Scot Grimes was named Most Valuable Player while Jason Cromartie was the Most Improved Player.

SOMETIMES“ If times are hard, and you feel blue, Think of the others, worrying too:Just because your trials are many,Don’t think the rest of us don’t have any.
Life is made up of smiles and tears,Joys and sorrows, mixed with fears;And though to us it seems one-sided. Trouble is pretty well divided.
If we could look into every heart We’d find that each one has its part;And those who travel Fortune’s road Sometimes carry the biggest load.”
