A World Within Miami Valley School
The first day of school is always a day
full 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 MVS and started off the 1991-1992 year
with the coziness of the annual lapsit, a
familiar event to the veterans of the school, an unusual sight to the newcomers. A ll stu
dents adjusted well from the carefree days of summer, as sports kicked off and classes
kicked in.

was abuzz with activ
ities this year. The
s tudents were i n
volved in many spe
cialized days includ
ing a Sports Day.
They were also treat
ed to a Pep Rally for their champion boys'
soccer team. Many of
the Lower School

Halloween
FunAs the tim e for
Halloween drew near,
p repara tions were
made and there was a
feeling of anticipa
tion in the air. While
children anxiously
aw aited beggar's
night, decorations ap
peared in the hallways, classrooms and
even outs ide the
school. Because of the new “Little Sibs” program, this year saw
the beg inn ings of brand new traditions. M id d le Schoolers took on the ghoulish
project of creating a haunted house for the younger ch ild ren .
Lower School students once aga in
dressed up in wonderful costumes for their annual march through the Upper School. However, this year Upper Schoolers
jo ined the fu n by dressing up and put
ting on their own pa
rade. A delightfully fr ig h tfu l time was had by all, and the activities among older
and younger students
dem onstra ted the true MVS spirit.
1. “Hey! W hat are you
looking at?" 2. It's Cat
Woman. 3. Lower School
students take in Halloween
spirit. 4. Is this a normal
day? 5. Mrs. Elmer as an
ab ian manr' • e

mon says . . . 7. Robin
Hood and the princess.
The Lower School was full of energy this year. The stu
dents were actively
involved in pep rallies for the Lower
School boys soccer,
the Halloween parade, and many other
activities. Students also spent their days learning along with
occasional play. Spir
its were high during field trips to exciting
places such as Lake Erie, the Sm oky
Mountains, and area museums. 51
LowerSchool
The Lower School's
second French Day
was once aga 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 participated in a biathlon.
Fifth graders put on a
play about the French R e v o lu t io n and fourth graders the
story of R apunze l w ith a ll lines in French. There were exhibits on French- speaking countries in
Africa and the Caribbean, Sw itzerland and New Orleans. The S ix th grade served everyone
French crepes. When Marite Caillat who organized the affair was asked why she put it together, she said, "for fun."
The annual musical for p r im ary
grades was a huge success. After many weeks of preparation,
the b u d d in g stars performed Dinosaur Valiev. Many thanks
to all who helped.

of medieval France. 2. Mar
tha Bernstein and Mona
Littaye in French costume.

SpringFair
T his year the
Spring Fair returned
to its traditional time slot — three to six
Friday afternoon. The
annual Parents' Assoc ia tio n fund ra ise r
was held on May 15
and for once the
weather was beautiful. Students enjoyed
games like "Shoot the
M ummy," darts, and
the "Pepsi-can Toss," where they competed
to earn prizes and
more tickets. In addition to the games there were lots of de
lic ious edibles, 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 commu
nity and celebrate the return of spring. A big thanks goes out
to the Parents' Association for providing
us with this opportunity 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

gag?" Lauren Christopher
and Mrs. Smith. 7. The
girls anxiously wait for the
music to begin at the Cake
Walk.
SuccessionsYearbook under the familiar direc
tion of Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Griffith
had a hard working year. Pictures to
take, stories and captions to write,
pages to create and the usual Saturday
morning meetings created a team
striving to finish a book full of won
derful memories for the entire student
body. As the book was under a tighter
budget than last year, the staff adjust

The 1991-92 Phloem & Xvlem staff
experienced a few firsts this year headed by a four person editorial
team, consisting of Erin Castle, Amelia Fuhrer, John Baines, and Valerie
Weis. Led by Dr. Barb Cleary, a small group of staffers ventured to Chicago for the JEA/National Scholastic Press Convention from November 14-16.
The paper itself did not go through many physical changes this year as it
won a gold medal from the Columbia National Scholastic Press Association on the basis of its design. The pursuit for publication excellence continues.

ForensicsThe 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 iam i
Valley students placed at local area
tournaments and attended several
competitions in the Toledo and C in
cinnati areas. Becki Quam, Aileen
Wagner, and Danny Beaty qualified for state competition, and Danny
Beaty was first runner-up to compete
at the national level in an unprece
dented three categories. President Danny Beaty and Secretary/Treasurer
Laura Kersh were both pleased with the year, and all involved are looking
forward to next year.

Model United nations
The Model United Nations team,
headed by Fran Inbody, had another
successful year. The team worked all
year in preparation for their competi
tions at the University of Dayton and
their participation in the National
H igh School Model United Nations.
The teams were awarded three awards
of outstanding participation for their
countries at U.D. They then travelled
to New York City where their por
trayal of Australia and Norway unfor

Amnesty had a full year. The membership 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 Mr. Speight, the letters were written with much zeal and enthusiam on Fridays at lunch. Members 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
Human Rights Day, which provided the school community a chance to view what Amnesty fights against. Congratulations on another success
ful year.

Student Council had a productive year under President Packy Moran and Secretary-Treasurer, Jenifer Van
Vleck. The year began with an allschool wienie roast and continued throughout the year with such activi
ties as the Halloween Dance, Spirit Week mixer, and Anything-Goes- Day. Student Council's annual fund
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 House. Student Council funds were used to help fund a P & X
trip to Chicago and buy a new microwave oven. Let's hope that next year will be as good as this one was!

covered the history, cuhure, and faces
of many countries without picking up
a single history book. 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.

nota, Eugene Polonsky and Craig Horenstein. The team could have been more successful but for two forfeitures due to scheduling problems. The
chess team looks forward to next year and hopes for more "check-cess".

Prom 1992
"Unforgettable”
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 chow-hounds.
This year's theme,
“Unforgettable," was
evident in the distinctive black and silver
decorations. Black
also seemed to be the
color of choice for the
attire of many 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 guest a m em ory
book, cham pagne glass, and a picture
frame. The event concluded with Natalie Cole's version of her
father's classic song,
"Unforgettable."

this year. Grades nine
th ro u g h twelve
staged two produc
t io n s . The f irs t.
Glimpses, performed
in November, was a
collection of sketches
w r itte n by young
playwrights. The cast
enjoyed the great va
riety and creativity found in the emo
tions and ideas portrayed. The winter play, The Night Tho-
reau Spent in Tail, by Robert E. Lee, was an intense drama about
the important events in the life of philosopher Henry D av id
Thoreau. The cast found the challenge of portraying charac
ters from a past time period en joyab le . This year's M iddle School p roduc tion
was unique because it was an original musical written by the actors using Broadway songs. The show . Stage D o o r , was
about a group of kids who help each other work out their problems at a performing arts camp. 1991-1992
was a success for the drama department, creatively showcasing the talents of M iami Valley students.

The Effective Leadersh ip Im m ers ion was more than just learning about how to be an effective leader. Subjects
from personalities to group interaction were
studied. O ff campus activities were also attended such as interviews with established leaders and company meetings. Camp Kern was a great learning and fun experience for the group. To put their new abilities to work, a cultural simula
tion game was played with the seventh, eighth

ImmersionThe 1992 Filmmaker:
The Critic studied many
aspects of movies in
cluding genre, shooting
techniques, lig h t in g ,
and plot. After studying
some specific Hitchcock
techniques, we were able
to relate his ideas with
some more modern sus
pense movies. The class
also ventured out to
movie theaters to critique new ly released
films. The group then
split into three groups
to write three individualized scripts for a
movie which would not
be produced. This was a good way to prepare ourselves for the movie
that would be shot on- location.

Independent Living was an exciting, worth
while experience. The fou r eager s tudents learned the basic skills
necessary to make it on their own. They learned how to sew and they completed four articles of clothing. They also
enhanced their cooking skills and each made n u tr it io u s meals on their own. As well as
hands-on experience, the students v is ited many places and learned
some vocational skills like banking, insurance, working on an assembly
line, and interviewing for jobs. We learned a
lot and had a great time.

with Mr. Speight. They did a lot of reading, had a slavery debate, and put the white man on trial for his crimes against the Native Americans. The highlight of the class was the trip to Colo n ia l W illiam sbu rg , Jamestown, the Pamun- key Indian Reservation,
and the M o n tic e llo P lantation. The class
helped to teach the students to look at both history and the present
from a more diverse viewpoint.

luxurious conventions of their homes for a cabin in the Vermont wilderness. The women
lived in a cabin without running water and central heating learning to
saw wood and cross country ski for drinking
water. However, the Im mersion taught more than the basics of survival; it also taught com

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

four weeks studying sports broadcasting. I was able to study both the television and radio aspects, focusing primarily on television. Statewide travel allowed me to con
duct interviews in both Columbus and Cincinnati. Locally, I was fortunate enough to have a week-long internship with Channel 22's May Lee. During this time,
my job permitted me to accompany May as she prepared her daily news stories.

on the formula circuit in Europe, (or at least the back-
roads of Middletown) That dream has been pushed aside for a more realistic goal of working with a racing team, as an engineer. After working with Team Highball Inc. in
Raleigh, North Carolina, I chose an Immersion that would test my 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 important thing that I learned with Team Highball was, I would still say that I want to get involved in racing
as an engineer, and possibly some day as a driver.
As someone who has always been interested in politics and political campaigns. I was delighted to learn that I would be able to intern with the Kerrey Presidential Campaign headquarters in Washington D.C. for my in dependent study. As it turned out, I was able to work
with each of the departments of the campaign. A national campaign office is organized very much like a business, with departmental responsibilities clear. M y own daily activities varied from sending out information and plat
form positions to transmitting "actualities" — sound bites from Bob Kerrey's speeches — to radio stations across the country.

A World Of
MemoriesAriother year at
Miami Valley gone and as summer approaches, the students are filled with dreams of lazy days. The year was a rem inder of tests, homework assignments, and anxiety over the future for both juniors and seniors, but it was also a rem inder of good friends and wonderful times. Memories of dances, collecting food for the hungry, Spirit Week, talented guests that entertained and informed at assemblies, as well as great classes. It was a full year for everyone and a wondrous year of more than education.
