TRASTEES, ADMINISTRATORS: The trustees and administrators who have led LCC for the past 25 years have been — and still are — visionary and courageous. Where others saw only plowed earth, the founders saw 1,000 students streaming from all over campus to chapel. They saw dorms and textbooks and teachers. And they saw places for young people to eat, to exercise and to enjoy being together. They saw a community of learning and ser- vice rising out of a cotton field. One of our most important roots, giving stability and direction to the growing College, has been the vision of its leaders. Those who first led the way in the old wooden barracks passed on their dreams of growth to those who moved the College from junior to senior college status. Those who have guided the senior college through 12 years of expansion and excellence see a dream of what Lubbock Christian College will be in the years ahead. Vision and courage continue to be the qualities most needed by our leaders. 1 — Dr. F. W. Mattox, Founding President, 1956-1974. 2 — Paul Sherrod, First Chairman of the Trustees; one of three original Trustees still serving. 3 — Dr. Jack Bates, first Dean of the College. 4 — Dr. Herman Wilson, first Registrar. 5 — Five of the present administrators, left to right, Steve Eckman, Dr. Steven Lemley, Mary Davis, Bill Phillips and John King. “Far too many schools and colleges are leaving God out. | have devoted thousands of hours as an LCC Trustee for more than 25 years so we can have a College where the Bible is taught.”’ Paul Sherrod, First Chairman of the Board of Trustees. : “There are certain values which have made our nation the greatest on earth: patriotism, hard work, love of family, thrift, free enterprise, individual freedom and Christianity. If our children and grandchildren are to continue to be free we must teach these values.” J. E. Han- cock, Chairman, Board of Trustees “LCC has a heritage rich with dedicated people who have dreamed and sacrificed to bring her to this moment — the 25th Anniversary. Her future depends on those of us who will continue to dream and work to make those dreams come true.”” Robert E. Forcum, Founder BURGER KING, Miami Lakes, Florida A “| came to Lubbock to help start Lubbock Christian College because | believed that a small, private Christian college does more for students than large, impersonal universities.’ F. W. Mattox, Founding President eae

FRIENDS: PEOPLE A truly fruitful tree does not spring from one or two roots. There must be friends, constituents and donors working with the leaders, faculty and students. Because these friends share the values for which Lubbock Christian College stands, they become a vital part of a diverse spreading network of people who contribute their time, prayers and possessions to support LCC. As an example, the LCC Associates was formed during the College’s second year. This group has held gift fairs, garage sales, bake sales and in many other ways has raised over $1.5 million for LCC. In addition, men and women have given houses, farms, stocks, bonds and cash to help in the important work of training young people. Many have remembered the College in their wills. Large or small, every gift is important. These friends believe in what we stand for. As the College grows be- yond the Silver Anniversary Year the Ex-Students will assume an even greater role in perpetuating the goals and sur- vival of the tree that bore them. ala Rin aca Warsi van Aas ais 2A 1 — For many years, the Pay For A Day Program helped provide operational funds for LCC. 2 — The annual Fall Gift Fair is one of the main fund-raising activities of the LCC Associates.
