Poem Honors Class Of 1915 Poem Honors Class Of 1915
A nostalgic poem by Alpha Lynch Wahl honors the Moulton High School graduating class of 1915. It humorously laments changing times from newspapers and bifocals to modern cars and social expectations, ending with a playful twist that the speaker remains unchanged while others adapt. The piece reads as a period piece reflecting early 20th century attitudes and era-specific observations.
