Gur most beloved student l Spotlight. Surprised students George Q Eberly, Geneva Pope, Sandy Berry and Q Darren Gibson take time out from a rookie photography class to become an experts subject. S.. l k F . ,V 3 Most high school students take life a day ata time, liv- ing it to the fullest, creating memories that will last a life- time. But just as concerts, homework, and jobs play a big part in growing up, so does the reality of death. On March 29, 1978, Sandy Berry was killed in a freak accident at the garage in her home. While placing clothes in the dryer, an explosion occured and Sandy's death was instantaneous. The days that followed were filled with disbelief, and a quiet thoughtfulness that followed the shocking news of her death. The funeral, held March 31, was one of the largest ever held at Pat H. Foley's funeral home. Over 900 students, friends and parents attended as the funeral pro- cession extended for more than 4 miles. Sandy was an all-star athlete. She was a varsity volley- ball and basketball player, bat girl for the boys varsity baseball team, and all-star catcher in softball. Nicknamed Hustleberry by her basketball teammates she was one of the most versatile of all the players. The number Sandy played under, number 11, now has been retired. Books covering the field of sports have been donated to the library on Sandy's behalf. A sports scholar- ship in her name has been established by the acting sen- ior class, to be given each year to the most deserving girl athlete. The friendships Sandy established will remain intact for a lifetime. It was the natural high she experienced every day that touched people most and her support for the school and all its activities will be sorely missed. f........ f ,H .--an-uuainw And then he said . . .
