About Berry?




	Dr. Jerry C. Davis Class of 1961

Dr. Jerry Davis is a 1961 graduate of the Mount Berry School for Boys. His personal story of the struggle to find his way in life is an incredible and heartwarming one. A small portion of his search for God’s plan for him is recounted in the article "On the Right Path" which appeared in the February 2004 edition of Guideposts magazine. With special permission from Guideposts we are able to reprint and publish this inspiring article about one of our Berry brothers. From teenage runaway to broke and homeless to college president, it is an amazing journey. Today, Dr. Jerry Davis is President of College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, MO.

In the Spring of 2007, a group of Berry High School athletes from the 1960's honored their former
basketball coach Jerry Shelton. The dinner in Hill Dining Hall was a huge success, attended by
over 100 people. After the tribute, a few of the men decided to create an organization to preserve
the camaraderie of high school alumni and to work to preserve the history of the high schools.
The Berry Breakfast Club was born.

Scholarship Established in Memory of Jimmy Fletcher



		Click on the photo to read more about the scholarship

	Spearheaded by his friends and classmates, the Jimmy R. Fletcher Memorial Endowed Scholarship has been established at Berry College. Jimmy Fletcher, born with cerebral palsy, attended the Mount Berry School for Boys and was the class valedictorian in 1964. challenged his entire life, Jimmy never surrendered to his disability and inspired everyone who ever came to know him. When Jimmy passed away in February of 2010, a group of friends and classmates immediately began to search for a way to honor the memory of this unique individual. After numerous ideas were advanced, it was decided to raise money for an endowed scholarship that would honor Jimmy’s memory forever. In April of 2010 a scholarship committee consisting of John Shahan (64H), Ernie Chou (66H), Bob Williams (62H) and Dale Cummings (66H) was formed. Stacey Spillers, Senior Advancement Officer at Berry, advised the group that Berry required a minimum of $25,000 in order to endow a scholarship. An immediate challenge gift of $10,000 from Ernie Chou started the campaign on its way and by July, the fund had grown to over $37,000 cash in hand with another $6,000 that was pledged. The scholarship was awarded to a deserving student for the first time for the fall semester of 2010. Qualifications to receive the scholarship are: The recipient’s demonstration of financial need. The recipient maintaining a grade point average of 3.0 or better. The recipient’s participation in the on-campus student work program. The recipient must have a permanent physical disability. Contributions to the scholarship fund are still being accepted and are encouraged. The larger that this endowed fund grows, the greater financial impact it can have on Berry students for years to come.

Berry Cancels Alumni Weekend
and Work Week Due to Coronavirus
Outbreak

April 16, 2020 (from the Berry Alumni website)

This is typically the time of year when we are busy preparing for two of the most
anticipated events on Berry’s calendar: Alumni Weekend and Alumni Work Week.
Unfortunately, we all know this is not a typical year. Like everyone else, we are
doing everything we can to ensure the health of our extended community –
alumni included – by supporting local, state and national directives meant to
curtail the spread of COVID-19.

Unfortunately, this means that neither Alumni Weekend nor Alumni Work Week
will take place as planned this year.

While disappointed that we will miss out on seeing you this spring, we are already
talking with class reunion chairs about the possibility of rescheduling the reunions
that would have taken place during Alumni Weekend, as well as ways you can
participate in a “Virtual Work Week” to serve those in the broader community who
are in desperate need of assistance due to the ongoing pandemic.

Thank you for your understanding and your patience as we all work together to
navigate these challenging times. If you have any questions or concerns, please
feel free to call Jennifer Beard, Director of Alumni Engagement, at 706-290-2170.
