There were six girls and fifteen boys. The class showed great ability in athletics and in the literary and music departments. Herschel Coash, our freshman president, set somewhat of a record in athletics. As freshmen, our superiority showed up so much that the sophomores didn't bother to initiate us until the end of the year and then only because it was an Hold Cullom customju At the beginning of the second sem- ester, we lost a prominent member of our class, Dale Nettleingham, who dropped out of school. Our freshman year ended with only twenty of our twenty-one members left. We came back for our sophomore year with much more self-assurance than in our freshman year. We found our numbers depleted by two-nBernita Warthen, who had moved to Kankakee, and Freddie Crane, who transferred to Kempton. Robert soon demonstrated hi testants in every lit contralto solos. Al Lewin, who entered from Kempton, basketball ability. We had con- erary division and in tenor and ce Jeanne Flcssner placed second in oratory in the Vi V. Conference, We had four mem- bers of our class on the basketball squad. Herschel Coash again came through with a bang and won the free throw trophy in the V. V. Conference. We are looking forward to a very successful junior year. We have a junior-senior banquet to make plans for, and we, also, as upper classmen, will be allowed a greater range of privileges, subjects, and activities. xi-- '-p llt? .- . A -v fer- - -Q - -- ..

' When school began in September of 1936 and the FRESHMAN CLASS had fully organized, we had a total of 51 members. After six weeks of school, Brecter Alberts discontinued his work at Cullom High, but the entrance of Margery Hoff from Pontiac kept our membership total at 51. Mr. Lehman, also beginning his first year as a teacher at Cullom, was selected as our class adviser, and at our first meeting were chosen the officers: president, Andrew Froelichg vice-president, Eileen Frantzg secretary Dale Nettleinghamg and treasurer, Dorothy Mae Oiebel. On October 16, when Cullom played Chatsworth at the Homecoming football game, the freshmen were represented by a float decorated in blue and white and entitled Working On Chatsworth. We were certainly rewarded for our efforts when we received second prize. One of the big nights for the freshmen was our initation, given us by the sophomores on October 12. During the day we were compelled to wear funny costumes--everything from ladies' hats to safety pin necklaces and tooth brushes. In the evening we were set in our places by means of electric shocks but later were treated to a delicious marshmallow toast and Weiner roast with plenty of food to go around. The sophomores proved to be very capable hosts and we never had a dull moment. It then being our time to entertain, we took the sophomores and faculty to Chatsworth to see Joe E. Brown in Polo Joe,' an amusing show. In the Inter-society contests a great per- centage of the contestants were freshmen, which shows that we are in the middle of things with plenty of pep. Our FRBSHMAN CLASS is also represented by a basketball team, though we haven't been very successful as far as winning is concerned, some- day these players may be the varsity for Cullom. This gives you the highlights of the fresh- man affairs in 1956-575 and it is our present am- bition to be 1OO per cent sophomores next year. .x ,-, .--Q.
