Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a unique snapshot of a high school experience from a century ago, drawing from the personal writings and mementos of the graduating class of 1916 from a small Indiana high school. At the cusp of adulthood, these students were on the brink of great societal change, standing on the precipice of both WWI and the ratification of women's suffrage. Their collective voices in this text paint a vivid picture of the hopes, dreams, and fears of young people a century ago, and the unique challenges faced by their generation. The text includes not only class records and photos, but essays, jokes, prophecies, and imagined news articles, providing a multifaceted portrait of the class's shared experiences.
