Fox Lake Historical Society Show and Tell-- Part 4: Big Hollow School

GRADUATION PORTRAIT, CLASS OF 1952--  Another person brought in a graduation class picture of their graduating class in 1952.  It was the largest graduating class up until that time with 14 students.  The site of Big Hollow  School, which was torn down a few years ago) was at the corner of Il-134 and US-12 south of Fox Lake.

CONFIRMATION CLASS PICTURE--  Another person brought in the Confirmation Class picture of the 1956 Ingleside Methodist Church Sunday School class (which met in a structure right next to the Fox lake/Grant Township Historical Society Hall and Museum which used to be the Grant Township Transportation Center).

Sunday School was held in the fire station across Washington Street from the church.  Bingo was played there Saturday nights and the boys had to come in early to air it out from all the cigarette smoke.  Plus, there would be a problem with spilled beer.

BEATLES-- I brought in several early albums by the Beatles as it was 50 years ago that Beatlemania was in full swing and the group was releasing albums as fast as they could.  Several people remarked of their early experiences with the group.
