Taylor Day, Greenberry Swango, and W.O. Mize.  In 1880, these founders established the Hazel Green Academy through an initial contribution of $500 each.  The school was noted as being one of the first junior colleges in the mountains and of which many of eastern Kentucky's most noted citizens attended.  In order to ensure that local needs were met, enrollment was limited to eastern Kentucky children with no more than 10% of outside attendance allowed.  At one time, the Academy held the distinction of having the highest percentage of graduates who enter college, as well as the lowest withdrawal rate, of any other accredited school in Kentucky. Supported by the United Christian Missionary Society of Indianapolis, Ind., Hazel Green Academy emphasized many extra curricular activities including 4-H work, conservation clubs, sports, folk games, music and drama. Academic departments were maintained for music, industrial arts, crafts, and home economics. The Annual Homecoming of former students, faculty, and friends was generally noted as the largest gathering of its kind in the eastern Kentucky region. Mrs. Pearl (Day) Bach (1887-1968), historian of the Former Students Association of Hazel Green Academy, was born in Hazel Green and graduated from the Academy in 1905.  Mrs. Bach was active in numerous organizations, committees, and causes, including membership in the Eastern Star, the United Daughters of Confederacy, President of the Crippled Children's Board of Good Samaritan Hospital, on Advisory Committee of the "Dessie Scott Children's Home" in Wolfe County, charter member and organizer of the "Kentucky Mountain Club" of Lexington, Kentucky, and chairman of the Sick and Hospital Committee from 1945 to 1958. Foremost, she is noted as being an active Kentucky genealogist and clubwoman. Her dedication was responsible for coordinating the activities of the Former Students Association of Hazel Green Academy, serving as president in 1951-1952, and acting as the historian of the association during most of its existence (beginning in 1940).       These papers deal primarily with the activities of the Former Students Association of Hazel Green Academy at Hazel Green, Kentucky. Materials include correspondence representing almost half the collection; historical and biographical sketches of the Academy, the Association, and alumni of the Academy; lists and records of the Association, including memorials, member and alumni lists, records of meetings, committee reports, and financial statements; photographs of the academy and of former students during their academy years; and data on the Kentucky Mountain Club. Also present are clippings on the Academy and the Association.
