MVP - Most Valuable Player - the honor of being the best. Students who have excelled in both sports and aca- demics over a period of four years, though not officially recognized, deserved this distinction. Seniors Amy Huber, Mary Brkich, Mandy Downer, and julie Joyce have proven their worthiness of this title. AMY HUBER Amy Huber has achieved a high level of efficiency in 3 sports: tennis, basketball and softball. She was awarded MVP for the Horizon League in tennis and was chosen for All CIF in bas- ketball in 1981. As presi- dent of G.A.A. Amy was involved in Student Council activities. Scho- lastically ranked second in the Senior class, Amy was constantly under pressure to keep her high GPA. After a school day she often rushed home to do homework or had hours of practice before a game. Usually tired but victorious, Amy then re- turned home to finish her work or get some well-deserved rest, be- fore another busy day. Amy has been accepted at U.C.L.A. where she plans to pursue a career in athletics. fb MARY BRKICH Demonstrating out- standing abilities in sports and academics, Mary Brkich was yet another student who was always striving for goals and un- willing to settle for sec- ond best.
