Successions ’88

The Miami Valley School

Title/1

Roll With The Changes ‘M ,

Changes were everywhere during the '87-'88 school year, Many new students and teachers arrived at MVS, furthering the diversity of the student body and fac­ulty. A new five year Market Plan was de­veloped for the school. Accordingly, plans for a new Science Center were detailed and new and more signs were put In place to call attention to the school. For­tunately, some things did not change. MVS's unswerving dedication to academ­ic excellence remained rock solid. In addi­tion to receiving many other academic accolades, MVS continued to lead all Dayton area schools in ACT test scores, reflecting its students' superior knowledge of Science, English, Mathematics, and So­cial Sciences. We hope that Successions '88 captures this spirit of enthusiastically embracing beneficial renewal and change while jealously guarding impor­tant fundamental values.

Immersion Changing Out Of Thie Ordinc/y

Immeision Is a 4 week program that is set m d e for sfudenfs to pursue any range o f projects from school planned study-trlps.

Individual programs, such as infefning for professionals. This program is a special type o f hallmark for MVS giving the^MVS students an advantage

Julie Huber — Child Development. I was a classroom assistant in the kin­dergarten room a t Wright State U. Our Activities ranged from making pizza to fingerpainting. I also be­came nurse, maid, and chef to 4 & 6 year olds. The center, better known as the Mini U., uses a con­cep t o f teaching called Whole Lan­guage. This lets the child develop by himself a t his own rate.

it was amazing how quickly they picked up on things and the rate a t which they were able to learn. My experience was definitely fun and I would encourage anyone that is in­terested in children to take the op­portunity to work with kids in the type o f environment that I have.

Davette Shorter was involved In an individual program for her senior Immersion. She worked with the Dayton Fair Housing Program as an intern.

Sara Batata — Juvenile Delinquents Did you know that the government does not know what to do with 55 % o f the population? These children have become delinquents. These are the children that I worked with a t the Samaritan Center for Youth Resources.

if a child is beaten constantly, that child will usually be very violent, I saw how bad life could be for a child land how cruel parents can be to their own kids, it Is extremely hard to watch children who have been hurt so much for most o f their lives.

Seeing the children right In front of you, hearing their complaints, wit­nessing their pain, this makes it all seem real. Somehow seeing these children in person, actually meeting them face to face, opened my eyes to an unseen and unknown world for me.

Earth Science — Freshman

Oceanography, astronomy, plane tectonics, voicanlsm, meteroiogy, rock and minerals, and fossilization. See any­thing that interests youi The Freshman studied these sub­jects and more by sightseeing, camping, and ciasswork, during the month long course o f Immersion's Earth Science Program. The students explored different museums to aid in their studies.

Sports Medicine and TennisJon Bernie

During my one month immersion, I worked ot Kettering Tennis Center, observing and learning liow the recreational facility was run and managed. I gained an awareness of where the tennis industry is heading. I learned that the big tennis boom of the late seventies and early eighties has now ended. Women, an Integral part of a club's success, are going back to work, as they have become more career oriented, I no­ticed that a large number of people were wearing knee and elbow braces, as well as ankle supports. I decided that it would be an excellent experience to discover how sports injuries are treated, St. Elizabeth's Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Center enabled me to pursue my interests. My im­mersion was a productive experience, as I gained insights into the tennis world and Sports Medicine,

Filmmaker and the Critic Doesn't the promise of spending one month glued to the television screen v/rapped in a blanket tossing popcorn kernels into your mouth sound promising? Filmmak­ing is a mind-exploring course which "probes the depths of the filmmaking mind and soul." This translates into ''filmmaking mind and soul." This translates into "filmmaking is v^ork."

Throughout the course, a variety of genres and actors were stud­ied. From Hitchcock to Eastw'ood, Hoffman to Fonda, and horror to comedy, this group saw it all. Over thirty films were viewed and

analyzed. The major project was the creation of an ac­tual movie script by small groups of three. One Impor­tant aspect of the course was to learn to v^ork together.

The final project of the course was the creation of a mock news broadcast. One could find Aparna Reddy and Stephanie Moore carrying toilet paper around the Dayton Mall, Alejandro Marinello speak­ing to shoppers in Spanish, or Todd Weprin, Gabe Bou- quett, Alan Siebenthaler,

and Jon Holt "inspecting" mer­chandise at Fredericks of Holly­wood. Dina Cristo and Brooke Campbell could be found ha­rassing shoppers at Cub Super­market, or the entire group could b found singing the Mc­Donald's "macTonlght" Ingle. Many things were accom ­plished during the four weeks of Immersion, Over thirty films were eva lu ated , a news broadcast was filmed, many papers were written, and many friendships were made.

Earth Science — Freshmen Students were able to discover ancient Earth as they visited the Dayton Museum of Natural Histo­ry, as well as the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History, and the Indianapolis Children's Museum. Ninth graders discovered more about Dayton's Great Flood of 1920 when they visited the Miami Conservancy District. They also learned about the operation of a weather station as they toured the WPAFB Weather Station. In addltbn, the class experienced nature by hiking trails at Glen Helen and Auiwood Audubon Center. They entered a different atmosphere as they went underground into the Ohio Caverns. Even though there was much studying to be done, as well as many assignments to be completed, the partici­pants of the Earth Science program gained valu­able knowledge, as well as an interesting per­spective of the earth around them.

Immersion/29

The main objective of the volunteers is to help out the staff in any possible way. It felt good to give something of myself and not expect anything in re­turn, although 1 was paid by the warm smiles and thank-yous.

Margot Haller volunteered at the Middletown regional Hospital. As a floor volunteer Margot ran errands for the nurses station and delivered mail and flov ers to respective rooms. The hospital Vi/as a source ofenending education, I was con­stantly learning about people, volunteers, and the hospital as a whole. The volunteers play a very important role in allowing the hospital to run more smoothly and efficiently. When a patient needs a blood transfution "Stat" a volunteer is sent to the blood bonk to retrieve necessary blood.

Books, Bards and Broadway

Tennessee Williams ... Edward Albee ... Arthur Millar, What comes to mind at the mention of these great play writes? To the students in the Immersion course. Books, Bards and Broadway, an array of thoughts may surface, such as parallels of Williams' per­sonal life to the characters in the Glass Menagerie, Albee's come­dy of chaos writing style, or the several reasons why Arthur Miller is known as the "social dramitist.”

Students were also chal­lenged to demonstrate their interpretations of skills on certain dramitic aspects. The final assignment for the class was individual projects. Students chose to make posters displaying various highlights of the plays read and viewed, to write poems that touched on thematic statem ents. Some even p layed the role of the playw rite and chose to write short, one act plays.

Overall the course was a dili­gent study for theatre that was enjoyed by both its par­ticipants and its teachers, Possitive remarks from stu­dents all stated that this course was a worthwhile study of theatre.

Marine Ecology

Hey Mon, It was the Bahamas, The main portion of this trip was comprised of an indepth study of Marine life of the Bahamian reef environment. When we arrived, at the Forfar Field Sta­tion on San Andros, we soon found out that the genrator had broken down and that we would have no fresh water. For the scuba divers it meant get­ting up at 6:30 AM in scuba gear, while the snorklers could sleep In until (9:00 AM,

At the dive sites we would do one snorkle before lunch and one after, We soon would learn that the hard part of our days would end with Mr, Czar- nota's classroom sessions for at least two hours every night. Looking back on this memora­ble trip It was probably our en­counter with a school of Dol­phins where they came up to us and played like pets, which will being back memories of the Marine Ecology Immersion.

When it came to choose what I wanted to do for Imnnersion, I decid­ed against the school-organized programs. Instead, with the help and encouragement of my piano teacher, I developed my own inde­pendent music program. IVly pro­gram was not as exciting sounding as the rest. Almost all of my progress and advancement was in one cen­tral action: practice. I am fully aware of the fact that practicing seems deathly boring and rather easy. Both of those thoughts were hovering dangerously in the back of

my mind. I was determined to begin my music study enthusiastically and devote all my energies to it. 1 now have better ideas of how I want to develop my musical activities during my last two years of high school. I doubt that I will pursue a career in music, but I will try to improve my skills.Nursing homes are thought to be cold harsh places filled with mentally incapable and deathly ill patients. After completing an internship at Bethany Luthern Village, I realized that this is a false vision that needs to be erased from society. A nursing

Heidi Bredenbachhome can be a warm and loving place. I feel that I was able to help some of the people in more than a physical sence; 1 was their friend, someone who really cared and lis­tened when they spoke, These bonds of friendship provided love, security, and a cure for lonliness. This experience really changed my out­look on the elderly.

Delivering brightly colored floral bouquets to lonely, sick, hospital patients, copying stacks and more stacks of paper, and load­ing a cart with beverages were all a part of my Immersion experi­ence. I worked as a volunteer for Kettering Hospital. For five days a week, I worked for the psychiatric out-patient department in the mornings.

For two afternoons I delivered flowers. This job required the use of a computer; something I was not familiar with. When the florists brought their deliveries I was re­sponsible for recording each one. This was a special port of my day not only for me but for the pa­tients as well. It was rewarding to bring a smile to a person who was feeling sick and lonely.

Evan Preisser

Yes indeed, once again every­body's favorite entomologist studies the insect world for his Im­mersion project. I did this at The Cincinnati Zoo's exhibit. The World of the Insect. Working in the keeper's area for four weeks, I got an excellent idea of what is involved in culturing, taking care of, and raising live insects. Even though my Immersion was not what I expected, it was interest­ing nonetheless. If you are not afraid of insects and have a taste for the slightly off beat, consider an Immersion spent working with the insects at the zoo.

France ImmersionOur immersion began with a weei< o f preparatory classroom study which fo­cused on practical language skills and cultural/architectural orientation.Our tour began with visits to Notre Dame and Reims Cathedrals, two well- known churches that eptimomize the gothic style o f architecture that is so common throughout France. Next, It was off the to the palace o f Versailles and Fountainebleau, to learn more about the history o f some o f Europe's most famous leaders. Toward the end of the week we made the much-an­ticipated visits to the Louvre, the Oran- gerie, and the Orsey Museum. Perhaps the most exciting monument that we saw was the Eiffel Tower.

PhotographyThis years' photography immersion consisted o f eight people, these eight people were, Peter Pow­ell, Xin Chen, Amber Batata, Jen Rhee, Jessica Sie- benthaler, Theron Shaw, Annabelle Kirsch, and Scott Weinstein. The instructor o f the photography immersion was, Barbara Rion.

The group worked diligently during the course to not only compile a final project but, to take special care to capture Dayton a t its best. Anne Traynor o f Discover Dayton Publication asked the class to pho­tograph Dayton and the surrounding area for the summer edition o f the publication.

SpainThe program was essentially divided into two parts: one week o f intense study and a journey to Spain. The in class work was comprised roughly o f five hours o f daily lecture accompa­nied by three comprehensive tests.

The second portion o f the program was a seventeen day sojourn o f Spain itself Paintings one hears about in art class are finally viewed for the first time and just for having seen them in person are that much more majestic.

The course was created to provide students with a chance to make an indepth study o f Spanish Culture. From Malaga to Granada, from Se­villa to Madrid, the program fulfilled its purpose.

The upper school serves as the last few years of everyone's basic education before proceeding on to college. The students have the opportunity to be­come more involved in school activi­ties and are given more liberties. This freedom gives them the chance to as­sume some of the responsibilities that v/ill be necessary to succeed in the future.

The Girls' Tennis Team had a sensational season. The Basketball Team for both the girls and boys, hod to work extra hard this year, because of the loss of seniors last year. But they did it, the Girls' team record was almost as good as the best one ever. The Boys' team accomplished great amounts of improve­ment, and worked well together, to finish in a success­ful season. Spring sports did well this year. The Girls' Softball Improved great amounts from last year, and they also changed to slow pitch.
