Foreword In the few short months following the 1962 Kentucky Legislature’s approval of a community college in Elizabethtown, the hill between College Street and St. John’s Road was transformed from a pictur¬ esque rural scene to a bustling center of construction and organization. Local citizens, comprising the North Central Education Foundation, made this transformation possible through their interest and labor in raising the money for the land and obtaining the popular support of this endeavor. In September of 1964, the first class of 364 was enrolled with a full-time faculty of 10. The next fall the enrollment surpassed by 35 the 500-student capacity of the building. The rapid growth of E.C.C. is an indication of the fruitfulness of the work of administration, local citizens and students. The increased curriculum and enrollment are also indications of the cooperation of the adminis¬ tration and the Advisory Board, which embodies the representation of the community, in coordinating the needs of the community and the facilities offered by the college. The Advisory Board consists of representatives from the various communities who also represent the varied vocations of the area. Robert Wade, Glendale, chairman of the board, represents the agri¬ cultural industry of the community. J. Ray Jenkins, Elizabethtown; Bernie Sears, Radcliff; James D. LaRue, Jr., Hodgenville and Lee Stearman, Munfordville are prominent figures in the business and industry of the surrounding communities. A feminine touch is added to the board by the presence of Mrs. C. B. Morgan, a city council member from Leitchfield. If the remarkable advances of the past three years are indications of the future, Elizabethtown Community College will exert a major influence upon the development and growth of the community. The accomplishments of the first class are proof that the faith these students exhibited in the value of the community institution was not misplaced. 3 II ' il !llllllll!lllllll!ll
