Cutshall Participates In Pull HOLLAND, Mich. – Hannah Cutshall, a Hope College freshman from Warsaw, participated in the Pull, one of the nation’s oldest college traditions, Sept. 30. She was an even-year moraler. The Pull, first held in 1898, is an annual fall highlight at Hope. It started as a tug-of-war between the freshman and sophomore classes for the freshmen to earn their place on campus. Over the years, it evolved into a grueling three-hour match during which freshman and sophomore teams, entrenched in shallow pits on opposite sides of the Black River, attempt to gain the most rope through their strength and stamina. Each team has 18 students on the rope as “pullers,” and another 18 acting as guides and morale boosters, or “moralers.” The Pull brings hundreds of alumni, parents and students to cheer on the “odd-” or “even-” year team. The odd-year class of 2015 won this year’s Pull. Cutshall is the daughter of Tony and Deena Cutshall. She is a graduate of Warsaw Community High School.
