Dr. Jerry C. Davis
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.  Click

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 organize 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. Click

Scholarship
Established in
Memory of
Jimmy Fletcher
With fundraising
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.
Though physically
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 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.

This fall, a deserving Berry
student will be the first
recipient of the scholarship.
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.
