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.

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.
