The Miami Valley School 5151 Denise Drive
Dayton, Ohio
Opening 1
The summer of '86 in Dayton came to a close after three months of major happenings in the Valley. There were changes . . . from the anticipation of a new mayor to the gubernatorial campaigns . . . from the proposal of a new arts center to the job cuts at GM . . . from the danger of the Miamisburg chemical spill to the proposed revitalization of downtown.
Changes, too, were occurring on the MVS campus. The new wing with its spacious rooms, the computer center, and a reception area contribut
ed to the feeling on campus of an innovative start to the new year. Fall ushered in the '86-'87 term with the promise of many new possibilties.
Successions '87 reflects the happenings in the Valley and celebrates both the new and the old, the changes and the unchanging. The school year has offered a time to learn and a time to enjoy. Each new year brings fresh talent, original ideas, and new friends. With all of this comes the necessity for remembrance.

In Lower School t.\X j
Over the summer of '86, several changes were made on campus. The new wing of the Lower School building houses Lower School classrooms, in addition to supplying rooms for the Upper School. The sky-lighted foy- er o f the w in g is spacious enough to serve the w hole school community as an area for exhibits, displays, and meetings. The students and faculty in the Lower School are excited about the new arrangements and the additional space.
New students and faculty also bring positive changes to the Lower School and add to the enriching atmosphere. The low teachex-student ratio contributes to close relationships in the classrooms. The friendliness of the caring staff, the bright colors in the rooms, the rocking chaiis for story-time, all add to the feeling of protection, closeness, and love.

What's Happening
Elisabeth Schriber and Harold Mills
The Upper School reflects the theme of changes that have occurred. New faculty, the new classrooms in the new wing, new students, and even the new orange lockers in the Commons bring the feeling of progress that is evident in grades 7 through 12. Students who are new to the middle school this year are Aaron Alford, Amelia Fuhrer, Atia Shoemaker, Danielle Young and Scott Murphy. In grades 9-12 we welcome Lo-Ku Chiang, Anna- belle Kirch, Ling Lin, Radha Reddy, Ruby and Jones Mays, Dynero Lee, Prasantha Bathini, Aparna Reddy, Andy Baker, Lorenzo Bassani, Marcus Jenkins, and Davette Shorter.

I. iuded among these newcomers are our Foreign Exchange students, Joan Gispert from Spain and E leni V a n its id is from Germany.This fall, returning students found changes in the rules concern in g stu d en t b eh av ior . Through the hard work of the Student Council, with President David Reid working with the administration, the T-shirt ban has been suspended. The final resolve of the issue is pending. Juniors and seniors with permission to leave campus for lunch, however, were reminded of the reinforcement of the mandatory sign-in after lunch. In addition to such guidelines, there
have been quite a few changes in the social life of the Upper School community. More parties have been planned for 7 through 9 grades, with post-game pizzas, outings to King's Island, canoe trips, and picnics. For the school as a whole, members of the Junior class organized and sponsored a semi-formal December dance, marking the first gala held in the Commons.
Big changes (the T-shirt issue). Small changes (the room numbers). The core of the Upper School remains comfortably traditional and solidly placed.

FACULTY
Sara Burnap
For the students, the school year begins in the first week of September after three long months of vacation. The teachers and staff, however, begin their year before the students arrive. This year, teachers and staff had the opportunity to spend two summer days at Camp Rolling participating in a retreat. School in-service, faculty meetings, and department conferences in August set the tone for the coming year.The 1986-87 year began with some new faces among the faculty. One major change has been the headmaster's position. With Mr. All- ing's departure at the end of the last school year, Mr. Thomas Brereton became headmaster. New teachers filling other positions on staff are Ms. Ma-nan Liu from China, Ms.
Moira Laughlin, and Ms. Victoria Peters. As part of a cultural exchange with China, Ms. Liu observes classes and teaches Introductory Chinese in an effort to stimulate the exchange of Chinese and American cultures. Ms. Laughlin teaches eighth grade science and ecology. Ms. Victoria Peters is in charge of the Middle School music program. In addition to the new faculty, Upper School also welcomes Mr. Edward Turpin and Mr. Willie L. Turner who have assumed responsibilities for building maintenance. In the Business Office, Alexander Georoff fills the position of business manager, and Dennis Manning has become maintenance supervisor and transportation coordinator.

Student activities and campus life provide students opportunities to participate, socialize, and accept responsibility. Common goals and group dynamics foster enthusiasm as well as providing a forum for thought and student opinions. Among known school organizations are two new ones which offer students an increased range of participation. S.A.D.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving) and Peers Council- ing Peers have been founded for the students with S.A.D.D. being an organization founded by a member of the student body, Kim Duke. Changes have also occurred in longstanding organizations with new officers, new members, and new programs. Although the Ski Club is not a new organization, it has undergone a change in supervision and is now co-ordinated by Ms. Laughlin.
Student life continues to change i with every new school year with new students and new faculty. The setting for much of the student activity is in the Commons with one major change bringing quite productive results. Pepsi Cola became the drink of choice this year in gratitude for which the Pepsi Cola Company provided the playing fields with the electric scoreboards. Another beneficial change in the commons is the brand new orange, metal lockers.
These many activities offered by the school hold the students' interest and attention. The opportunity to participate in any one of the clubs is an invaluable and very beneficial one.

The Student Council started the 1986-87 school year by sponsoring the third annual Leadership W orkshop for students in grades 7-12. This w orkshop provides an opportunity for class officers, team captains, editors, and Student Council members to initiate their planning for the year and to learn some basic m an ag em en t techn iques to im p ro v e th e i r p e r f o r m a n c e s as Icar'ers.
i ! • , ' Council kicked off the ,■ I with its annual Hal-
■ •> •iCe. The Council also ' d - f t classes to take an active ole in promoting social activities
for the school. The Junior Class accepted the challenge and staged a semi-formal December dance. The entire high school enjoyed the
“ A nyth ing-G oes-D ay” activities which signaled the end of the Council-sponsored activities for the year.
The Student Council also encouraged the development of school spirit with its Spirit Week competition, designed to get the classes to compete for the honor of being named the class with the most school spirit. The week's activities included dress-up days, skits performed by the various classes, and decorating the gym for the MVS tournaments. The week culminated with a dance attended by MVS students and players from the visiting teams.
To fund the various projects whichthe Council undertakes, the Coun
cil has one major fund drive each year. This year, though it got off to a slow start, the Student Council raised more money through the fruit sale than it has in any recent year. In response to incentives, students sold almost $9000 in fruit. Besides sponsoring school activities the Student Council undertook the food drive in December as part of the Holiday Aid Program coordinated by Tatone Buick.

S.A.D.D.This was the first year for the Students Against D runk Driving (SADD) program at the school. The main focus of the group is to raise the awareness of students to the dangers of drunk driving. Efforts to initiate a SADD chapter at the school were undertaken by Sophomore Kim Duke. For these efforts she was elected President, and Sophomore Jennifer Williams was elected Vice-President. For a first year program, the membership is excellent, and includes approximately 10% of the high school student body. All the members would like to thank Mrs. Donat, the faculty advisor, for her time and efforts. The members feel that the SADD program will have a strong and positive influence in the years to come.

Peers Encouraging Peers is a new club that has been organized to train members in becoming more adept at counseling other teens. Not a traditional support group, the organization aims toward the development of skills in listening and communicating. In regularly- held meetings, discussions center on the types of problems likely to be" encountered by anyone counseling adolescents. The organization also provides, as part of its service to the school community, informational literature that addresses teen concerns and problems. Sponsors for the group are Thomas Elmer, Peter Camm, Carol Fox, and Ann Baldwin.

AESTHESIA, the title of the magazine, means “the perception of the external world through the senses." This perception is obvious in the writings and drawings chosen for publication. Staff meets on Tuesdays to vote on selections for the magazine. Staff members also contribute literary and artistic creations of their own, solicit the same from their fellow students, and assist in layout.

Foreign Exchange Student Joan Gispert ^
One day a letter arrived at home in Barcelona. The envelope stated "The United States of America." I broke the envelope rudely with my hands. It was the letter I had expected for so many weeks. My first reaction wasn't to read the whole letter immediately, but to look for the name of the school. "Miami Valley School/' I said, "Great! Miami!" I thought. Later, when I kept reading I could see "Dayton, Ohio." I knew where Ohio was, but I must confess that I had no idea about Dayton.
Four months later, I was in Dayton. I was afraid and confused. Everything was new for me. Then school started. I met my classmates and teachers. I met the soccer field and the gym, where everyday I lost ten pounds. And I also met long hours of homework. But homework has made me acquire more knowledge. Soccer and basketball are great sports and I have enjoyed every minute I played. Classmates and teachers have become my friends. Friendship is what really has made me feel comfortable and happy. It's hard to believe, but I have only been homesick two days. The reason is that I haven't felt far from home. I am happy to have been in Dayton. The weather is not like weather in Miami, but friendship makes it warmer. Now I don't have to look at an atlas to know where Dayton is. Now the only fear I have is that I'll miss Dayton too much when I go back to Barcelona.
Finally, I would like to thank the Andrews, the Elmers, and Mrs. Donat for taking care of me during my first days in Dayton. Especially, I give my thanks to my two host families, the McDonalds and the Inbodys, who treated me like a son. M y final thought is for everybody at Miami Valley School. Sincerely, I feel my year here has been a fantastic experience.
Thank you very much, M.V.S.Joan Gispert

Eleni VanitsidisNow I am here for three months and I like it better every day. It is a funny feeUng because I feel as if I have always been here. I became a part of the school community and I cannot imagine that it won't always be like this. I remember exactly the day when Joan and I were sitting together in the plane to Dayton not knowing what awaited us. Our English was so poor and both of us had problems to speak. It was a strange feeling not to know where you are going. And now I am here and everything is so familiar. It's great to be a part of a small school in which people know each other. The teachers are like friends and students don't avoid them as they do in Germany. I am also experiencing the amount of homework exchange students prophesied to me. Recently I received a letter from my friend in which she was complaining about too much homework (three pages instead of the usual two) I guess I don't have to make any comment about this. I'm glad that I can be together with you and I want to THANK YOU for your help when I had problems. Each of you makes this year one of the greatest experiences of my life. Thanks to my hosting families, which included me as one of their children.
Danke!LoveEleni

What's
W ith us at Cantervalley Three coaches did preside.The first of whom was alive with pride.Tennis was his game which brought him much fame,Romeo was his name and manipulation he did claim.O n the second court His temper was short.If you were out of shape M any stairs you must face.But when the games were done And had he not won A smile he would share To show his players he did care,A great coach till the end And even a friend.
The second brave being To chance coaching a team Was much prettier than Vin But that was obviously no sin.She was a lady as everyone knows And she chose to play soccer in her hose.As female she was seen (or the soccer queen)And rarely was she ever blatantly mean."No mercyl" was her saying Which kept everyone playing.With alliteration she gave gleam To cheers done by the team."Mame Muffy", "Get Greenview" Were only a few.And although her team Could not create her dream.Very hard we would try
The third of the three Seemed only five foot three.Girls' basketball he did train Which appeared an effort in vain. Standing on the court He really loved the sport.But he would try not to get hotTeaching us how not to miss a shot.The wings knew to hideWhen he would decide to make themdriveBehind our lipstick, make-up, and tears.He was a man with no fears And care he did very much As he coached us all with a special

Immersion
Earth Science
By Shawn Jones
The "Earth Science” Immersion was an
introduction to the forces o f earth and an
explanation o f their causes. The classroom explanations com bined with seeing
the actual results on a field trip made this
learning experience easier to understand.
Immersion in the Courtroom
Teens in Trouble
By Mark Rife
Although I have been a teenager for
the past five years now, I was not, until this Immersion, fully aware o f the m agnitude o f the problems teens are facing.
A lot o f my peers are in pain. Pained
because they grow up too quickly. My
study, although focusing on a depressing
subject, tried to look at the positive side
— what’s being done to help.
Children’s Medical Center
By Andrea Bright
These settings, which strive to make
the children comfortable in the unnatural hospital setting, had an effect on me during my Immersion in the hospital. I learned to be comfortable with the IV’s, oxygen tents and isolation rooms. Within
this atmosphere, I helped to give a normalcy to often frightened young children.
By David Reid
The Internship was valuable because it offered an insight into the legal process
which very few people have. It was an
outstanding Immersion, the success o f
which can be attributed to the under
standing and patience o f Federal Judge t
Walter Rice and his colleagues, Jim, Tania, Ellie, Shirley and Christine.
Frontier Nursing
By Dana McKenney
During my four years o f Immersion, I have traveled to Russia and back, and
studied Earth Science and the Stock M arket; but my time up here in the Appalachian Mountains o f Eastern Kentucky
has been and is the best experience I have
ever had. I feel content because I helped
the people and made a difference to
them.
Outward Bound
By Darius Bozorgi and Tony Peh
Outward Bound is a unique program
that challenges the physical and mental capabilities o f each student and forces
him to learn more about himself through
numerous tests o f endurance. The V o y ager Outward Bound School, located in
Big Bend National Park in Texas, is an
extremely well-run school. The program
is safe, fun, and educational.
In the Swim
By Craig Dean
This senior Immersion project has g iv en me a different perspective on com petitive swimming — that o f a coach. I also
have had instructional responsibilities at
the University o f Dayton and the North - west YM CA. While working with others, including one handicapped college stu dent, I have also learned about myself.
Interacting constructively on a teaching
level makes the learning process a tw o
fold experience.
Sports Medicine
By Jon Freeman
In the Sports M edicine clinic at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, sports injuries are
diagnosed and treated. The level o f recovery will be dependent on the injury
and the desire o f the patient. I learned
during Immersion that Sports M edicine is
a growing field in a rewarding and satisfying profession.
Immersion in England
By Chimene Mayne
On the whole, England is a fabulous
country. Its greatest pride is London. I don’t believe that any other country has
such a large, beautiful city that is as clean
and well-kept as London. Seeing this city
"made” the whole trip for me.
M odel U N
By Jonathan Rhee
The M odel United Nations program
was a unique opportunity to learn and
better understand the political positions
o f other countries. During this time we
learned the background o f our country
(G abon) and got a general picture o f
each separate U .N . bloc. W e dealt with
world problems and gained a more c o m prehensive perspective o f our world.
Earthwatch
By Susan M oss
I feel that I profitted enormously from
this Immersion experience. It made me
aware o f the vast scope o f possibilities in
the field o f marine biology, both th eo
retical and in field research. A bove all, it has given me an appreciation for the d e sign and execution o f scientific studies.
Photography Class
By Susan Bozorgi, Eric Ernst and D oug
GeyerThough it is not considered by many
as an art form, photography incorporates
the basic creative techniques used in o th er facets o f the art world. With this philosophy in mind members o f the Basic
Photography class set out to learn and
refine the various technical requirements o f photography.
The Other Side
By Ramesh A w a
W hen people view the world o f m edicine, they tend to see only the glamorous
parts o f the health profession. However, there are many other duties, although less
exciting, that must be performed by tech nicians and a host o f others. This Immersion experience has revealed to me much
information concerning the medical field
which I did not know before.
Pilots license
By Jim Marable
Working toward a pilot’s license during Immersion teaches that the first person you should fear is yourself
A Spanish Experience
By Brad Lang
The trip provided an opportunity for
lengthy introspection about the culture o f
Spain and also about ourselves and our
peers. On the academic side, our teachers
taught about the history and language o f Spain, but experience was the best teacher. While interacting with the people we
learned about them and also our friends.
W ashington Workshop
By Scott Broock
One cannot fully appreciate the co m plexity o f our government until he has
been to Capital Hill. During my month in
Washington, D.C., I was able to gain a
firsthand view o f what it is that makes
our nation work. For those who can ac
cept the challenge o f a Washington in ternship, the benefits that may be reaped
are countless.
Outward Bound Minnesota
By David Andrews
Working from dawn to dusk everyday
is not defined as fun for most people, but it is to Outward Bound students in M in nesota. For them, leading a team o f Alaskan dogs across a snow swept lake isn’t work unless it is called work. The saying
that work can be fun rings true for O u tward Bound alumni. Exercising every day
is Outward Bound’s general policy, along
with learning a totally different set o f
skills that someday may save one’s life.
The Orient
By Eric Tomchin
The Orient is one o f the few places left
in the modern world where ancient cu stoms and modern civilization have been
so finely combined. Everyone must take
at least one trip to the East to experience
the delicate balance between old and new.
The Investigation
By Amber Circiello
The participants in the 1986 Filmmaking Immersion had four weeks o f exciting
experiences. This year’s film crew consisted o f Amber Circiello, Todd Greenberg, Jenell Ross, Erica Schultz and Carla
Wilder. The group filmed scenes for their
movie on location around town and in
Cincinnati.
A Laboratory Experience
By Ted Bernstein
My independent project was working
at the Cox Heart Institute in a lab in cooperation with Wright State University’s Emergency Medical Department. There I worked with Dr. John McCabe
and Chief Lab Technician Terri Caprio. The experience I had proved to be very educational as well as interesting.

H otel and Restaurant
By Meredith Sanderow
The hotel business is a way o f life for
the many people who are a part o f a hotel staff. The hotel people at Stouffer’s and
the Dayton Airport H otel all share the
same types o f experiences. By observing a
hotel from "the back o f the house” a
person can tell if the hotel life is right for
him.
Astronomy
By Ted Durbin
The thought that the light from these
immense celestial objects takes th ou sands o f years to reach our solar system is
overwhelming. Throughout history man
has looked up to the stars with awe and
amazement as do the students taking the
astronomy Immersion course today. (M ike Peck)
Innocent Until Proven Otherwise
By Jon Paul Rion
What I have learned working for Rion
Rion and Rion is that one o f the most
important things a person can do is pro
tect the one thing that separates the U nited States from Russia: The Constitution
o f the United States.
Voyage En France
By Liz Bernstein
It’s hard to express how I felt about the
things I saw and the places I visited. The
amazement and awe that I experienced
throughout the trip, standing in front o f a
painting or an historical monument, sim ply cannot be conveyed. The works o f art have becom e real for me because I have
seen them.
Animal Business
By Raya Tabrah The Miami Valley Animal Hospital
and the Waynesville Veterinary Hospital are reaching out to help animals. A ssisting and observing at these tw o clinics
provided me with an accurate insight into veterinary medicine.
World o f the Child
By Lalani Winston
The Bible says children are a gift from
G od. If such is the case, then W ee Haven
Child Care Center is a storehouse full o f
these precious gifts. That is where I spent
my Immersion.The children were wonderful and often
times unpredictable, which made for
som e interesting moments at W ee Haven. Every day was like opening a gift and
being pleasantly surprised.
G ood Samaritan
By Greg Margolis
I woke up, jumped into the shower, com pleted my early morning routine, fin ished tying my tie around my neck, and
ran downstairs to the kitchen where the
dog was sleeping on his back. It was then
that I came to realize that it was a little
past one a.m. I had wakened approximately five and a half hours too early. I had been so nervous the previous evening
about getting to my first day at G ood
Samaritan Hospital on time that I had, to
put it mildy, "jumped the gun.”
Restaurant management
By Candy Borchers
Purchasing for a restaurant requires a
lot o f trust by the management. The job consists o f ordering the products and
then personally receiving them. This may
sound rather menial, but a lot depends on
this particular job.
International Finance
By Johannes V on Huelsen
I spent three weeks in the nation’s ca pital working at the Institute o f National
Finance.If I review the three weeks in W ash
ington and the work I was able to a c
complish, I would have to say that I learned so many things and the level o f
experience was so great, that I had trouble including it all in a short article.
BaseballThis was the most successful season for the
baseball team in Miami Valley history. The season
ended with an impressive victory over Tri-County,
bringing the season record to 5-8. Strong pitching
was provided throughout the season by Shawn
Jones, Tony Peh, and Craig Young. The defense
also was greatly improved. Leading hitters were
Ralph Donaldson, with a 450 batting average, and
David Sayler, who hit over .380. Team honors went
to Billy Glisson, M ost Improved, and Ralph D o n aldson, named M ost Valuable Player.
Front: Coach Asjian, Shawn Jones, Billy Glisson, Ralph Donaldson, Paul DeFranco, Todd Weprin, Kevin Arnett. Back: Vinnie Romeo, David Sayler, John Sweeney, Alan Siebenthaler, Craig Young, Scott Broock, Tony Peh.
Softball
Front: Ashley Kent, Meredith Sanderow, Liz Bernstein, Monica Singla, Lisa Romeo, Lisa Elliot. Back: Coach Glisson, Rosa Sala, Melissa Rotman, Susan Moss, Nina Singla, Laura Nelson, Andrea Bright, Ann Mantil, Coach Ailing.
Learning and improvement. These are the two words which best characterize this year’s softball team. With several new players, the team
learned to play together and becom e familiar with the Headmaster as a
coach. Coach Bill Glisson learned to enjoy himself after such games as
the 32-28 loss to Summit. The team improved greatly, as the season
culminated in a com e-from -behind victory over Meadowdale in the final game. Lisa Rom eo led the team and won the M ost Valuable Player award. Nina Singla was named M ost Improved.
Varsity Boys’ Tennis
Front: David Andrews, David Reid, Ramesh Avva, Chris Wydman. Back: Coacli Romeo, Jon Freeman, Jon Bernie, Greg Margoiis.
The 18-2 record o f the Boys’ Varsity Tennis team shows
another successful year. Chris Wydman earned a winning
record at first singles against tough com petition. Ramesh
Avva had another incredibly successful year and advanced to
the state tournament. Darius Bozorgi played well at third
singles despite missing tw o weeks. The doubles team o f Jon
Freeman and Greg Margoiis advanced in the tournament
also, losing only one match during the season. The second
doubles team o f David Reid and Jon Bernie were undefeated
in the season and also qualified for the state tournament.
Junior Varsity Boys’ TennisWhat is the lineup for today This was a
frequent question asked by the players on the
Boys’JV Tennis team. Due to sickness and loss
o f players to the varsity, the JV team never had
the same lineup. Despite these problems, the
team earned a record o f 4-6. The team consisted
almost completely o f freshmen and sop h o mores, who will return next year. Johannes von
Huelson earned Team Player for his dedication
and improvement.
Front: Marie Inbody, Mike Peck, Sonu Aggarwal, Eric Tomchin. Back: Coach Georoff, Greg Mitchell, Bryan Hawthorne, Johannes von Huelson, Jon Rion.
Middle School Tennis
The Middle School Boys’ Tennis team had one
o f its strongest years ever. The final record was 6-1, the only loss com ing to Cincinnati Country Day.
The highlight o f the season was a victory over
previously undefeated Sycamore. The team fin ished second in the Princeton tournament. Hans
Helmers and the doubles team o f N eil Singla and
Walter Kim won first place in the tournament.
Front: Neil Singla, Walter Kim, Josh Lewis, LLoyd Huber, Danny Kay. Back: Nelson Reid, David Young, Hans Helmers, Jason Tomchin, David Montgomery, Mike Lofino, Coach Fenwick.
Varsity TrackDespite having a small team and no victories, this was a
successful year for the Varsity Track team. Coach Jerry
Sampson was pleased with each member’s improvement. The runners strived to do their best each time, and as a
result, placement in the races improved. Brian Kendall and Anna Hebner each barely missed in qualifying for the
second round in the state tournament. There will be hope
for more improvement next year with no graduating
seniors and a large number o f eighth grade runners who will join the team.
Front: James Johnson, Brian Kendall. Back: Erica Shulz, Anna Hebner, Lalani Winston, Coach Sampson.
Middle School Track
This year was impressive for the Middle School track team in both size and performance. There
were several new participants particularly in the seventh grade. Darrin Bright showed determination
in the mile and 800m w innii^ several races. Eighth
graders Eddie M obley and Alex Kent also performed admirably. The girls showed improvement
as well, particularly in relays. Next year promises to
be equally successful with such runners as Nathan
Remmers, Stephen Rife, and Rahul Banerjee.

English Literary Heritage Tour By John Sheridan
T he course was created to provide the stu dents with a chance to make an in-depth study of English literature and certain authors to see h ow these authors sculpted the face of English literature. From the Lake District to London, from Canterbury to Dorset, the tour fulfilled its purpose.
N ew spaper Internship By D avid Sayler
D uring m y Im m ersion study at Dayton Daily News and Journal Herald I was able to do m any different jobs: I w ent to a press confe re n c e , c o v er ed h ig h s c h o o l se c t io n a l gam es, answered phones, and even got to write a feature story.
Turn Left at The Goat: The China Trip By Jon Bernie and H olly Tabrah
After v isiting H ong Kong, Canton, Xian, our next stop was the capital city of Bejing (Peking) which provided us with the h ig h light of the trip — our visit to the Great Wall. N o t o n ly did the Im m ersion group explore a culture, we learned to appreciate the benefits of the U.S., too often taken for granted.
Sw am p StudyBy Liz Bernstein
Picture yourself face to face w ith an alligator a foot away. Picture yourself w atching two bald eagles in their natural habitat. For the ten Swam p Study participants, these experiences and m any similar ones became a reality. W e traveled to the Everglades N ational Park and to Long Pine Key, where w e faced the environm ent that m ost people picture w hen they hear the work, "swamp." Blue Springs State Park and O kefenokee Swam p completed our study.
JurisprudenceBy Bill G lisson
Jurisprudence is the theory of law. For four weeks, the Jurisprudence class studied this subject w ithout having m uch know ledge about it previously. M uch of the experience that the class received came from w itness ing court cases, from the voit dire, w h ich is the question ing of the jury, to the final verdict of the jury and sentencing by the judge.
Earth ScienceBy Ku Chiang
The Earth Science course consisted o f three academic classes m eeting three days a week. A ll-day field trips to locations in Dayton, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis were taken, in addition to a three-day cam pout at Camp Kern. The Earth Science Im m ersion has become a resource course, g iv in g students a chance to discover th ings on their own.
Dress D esign ingBy Am ber Circiello
I worked under the direction of "Jackie O. of Huston," a Black entrepreneur w h o runs her ow n design studio. Creating a dress from start to finish , working with pressures of deadlines make the design field interesting. M y im m ersion was the beg inn ing of a long journey, full of learning.
ChoreographyBy Harold Mills
This year's Immersion course was different from all the rest. Taught by an artist-in- residence, Shawn Womack the program was very enlightening but difficult at times. Working in the course helped me to understand that dancing is a major part of our lives, no matter what kind of dancing we do.
Study with the Woodhull Corporation By Lorenzo Bassani
The capitalistic economy of America depends on small, pravately-owned businesses like the Woodhull Corporation. This particular company is run by a father and son team. Because of this, my experience with the corporation was even more worthwhile, since I plan on starting a business with my father someday.
The Big Apple's Performing Corps By Claire Hedley
Our trip was the culmination of a three- week study of theatre, art, opera. The group saw performances of Carmen and Big River, as well as visiting Metropolitan Museum of Art, Modern Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and the American Craft Museum. The highlight of the trip was the backstage tour at the Met where the group conversed with Placido Domingo
Earthwatch: St. Kitts By Susan Moss
For one month, I participated in an Earthwatch expedition with the objective of preparing an accurate animal census that would instigate the formation of conservation policies and wildlife sanctuaries for the Vervet monkey. I came away from the project feeling that my contribution to the team had helped to complete a monkey population census for the entire island of St. Kitts.
Immersion in a Hospital . . . Again By Andrea Bright
At Mercy Hospital in Fairfield, I worked through the administration office of John Huntsbarger and got a view for the hospital as a whole, I discovered that it is a living creature, each department a separate organ which is part of the whole. The administration is the nervous system — receiving input, analyzing, coordinating.
Building Industry Study By Julie Huber
For my Immersion project this year, I chose to build a house. The first thing I found is that it is not as easy as it sounds. M y experience, however, has led me right into the career 1 want to pursue as a member of the Building Industry. M y best counsel during my study came from my advisor and friend, my father.
Blue Chip Computer StudyBy Craig Young and Tony Peh
Frustration, hard work, independence, responsibility, pride. These are the words I use to describe my Immersion study. It was frustrating at times but it was well worth the struggle. W hen I go to college, I think my Immersion course will definitely help me in my field of study. 1 not only learned to program, but I also learned to interact with other people on the job. M y experience was most rewarding.
Internship at Dayton Daily N ews and Journal Herald
By Ann Mantil My big assignment came during the last week of a great Immersion period. I wrote a 30-inch feature article on The Miami Valley School's Immersion program. The most rewarding part of the period was working in a really professional environment, writing articles, and doing what a real professional does. My month at the paper gave me more than just a taste of the field.
Study at NCRBy Jeff Sniderman
I worked at NCR, the fifth largest company in the world, and studied data processing. My goal was to learn as much as I could about the world of business. Although my duties at NCR World Headquarters were not quite the same as those of a regular employee, I got a taste of what certain jobs are. Every day I learned something new. I discovered that there is much more to business than just supply and demand.

Entom ologyBy Evan Preisser
Insects — W hat does this word m ean to you? Sw arm ing m osquitoes at a campfire? H uge cockroaches in dark corners? A s I learned during m y Im m ersion course, in sects are m uch more interesting and beneficial than m any people think. For m y independent Im m ersion program, I worked in the entom ology section o f the D ayton M u seum of Natural History.

Eighth Grade Im m ersion By H ans Helm ers
The Eighth Grade Im m ersion this year was defin itely an exciting and educational experience. T he first week was spent in Chicago where we studies the culture and history of the "W indy City." W e spent our second week in school do ing various activities. In the m ornings, we worked on a vaudeville play. The rest of the day, groups made ind ividual studies of architecture, history, Eng lish , and art.

Hotel InternshipBy John Sw eeney
There is a com pletely different world w ith in a hotel w hich m ost people do not k n o w exists. It is in that world that I spent three weeks. I visited every department, learning sales tactics, labor relations, and the d iff i culties of hotel m anagem ent. T w o of the m ost interesting departments were Food and Beverage and Security. A ll in all, I feel that the program was w orthw hile as I met a lot of people with different background and became acquainted w ith all facets of hotel life.

Girls' SoftballFor the first time in a long while, the Girls' Softball team, coached by Gayle B lum berg and Bill G lis so n , had enough talent to fill all of the field positions. The team had a rough start trying to find a pitcher, but in time, Ashley Kent, Nina and Monica Singla became the first string pitchers. M onica Singla controlled the infield as the short-stop. Lisa Elliot and Nina Singla both did a fine job of catching. A newcomer to the sport, Jenny Rhee, worked very hard to obtain a spot in the out-field, and capture the most improved player award. The Girls' best game was when they won both games at Wellington, capturing the championship at the tournament.
