The group was first organized by the late Martha Tullos Hummel, a 1958 ECCC graduate who resided in Greenwood. Mrs. Hummel, a Choctaw County native and 1956 graduate ofLouisville High School, often remarked how she "treasured the memory of her classmates....and remembered that many warm friendships had formed" dunng her East Central years. Before she died in September 2004. Mrs. Hummel encouraged members of the three classes to continue their annual gct-togethcrs, which they have done so in impressive numbers. As a result of the reunions and continued friend– ships, the group decided to establish a scholarshap to assist ECCC students with college expenses.
