N .:,..,... , 1,,hNW N fp .fl- iv.: Class Prophecy In 1960, just thirty-nine years after our gradu- ation from our dear old McClure High School, we received the shock of a life-time to hear over the radio that our old class-mate, Kelso Richard, had been nominated for the presidency by the Demo- crats. It seems Kelso has been something of a poli- tician since leaving High School and has filled various offices. To begin with, he had been Clerk of Damascus 1'ownship. Later he moved to Malinta and was honored by his fellow townsmen by receiving a majority of votes for mayor of this prosperous little village. From this small beginning he was elected to fill offices in Henry County. As his fame for honesty and integrity grew, he was elected to several State offices. I telegraphed my congratulations and imagine my surprise to receive a reply asking me to be- come his campaign manager! The idea seemed somewhat staggering for, of course, Kelso must win or bust, after throwing his hat in the ring, and a great deal of his success depended largely on the selection of his campaign manager. I took stock of my qualifications and, in looking back over my past life, decided my training had been of the right sort to enable me to sell Kelso to the people of our own dear U. S. A. We decided to establish our main office in Columbus and left Kathryn Deilman in charge of a large force of stenographers that were thoroly imbued with the idea of Win or Bust. We decided it was best to travel in a special train and remembered hearing Warren Culbertson had taken a course in railroad engineering and had a run on the D. T. and I., we telegraphed Mr. Ford asking him to release Cub for a few months in order that he might take the position of chief engineer of our special train. This Mr. Ford agreed to do and, in addition, offered the use of a train from his road as his contribution to the campaign fund. We were very grateful for this offer and joyfully accepted, for we were finding our campaign expenses frightfully high. After leaving Columbus on a campaign trip, our first stop was made in Cincinnati. At the Union depot we were very agreeably surprised to hear the thrilling strains of our High School song, Pep , being played by a ladies' band and wondered why they should happen to choose the music of our old school song for one of their selec- tions. The rat-tat-tat of the drum seemed to have such a familiar sound and, upon locating the player, you may well guess our delight in find- ing the drummer to be Francis Alspaugh. Find- ing Bill gave us the happy thought of taking a band with us so we telegraphed our old orchestra leader, Howard Middleton, to select a hundred piece band and meet us the next week in St. Louis. We were delightfully surprised to find Mr. Mid- dleton had selected a number of our former orchestra leaders and players and among them were Frank Sturchio from Findlay, E. E. Hadley, HR. G., Huck, Margie and Bill. We felt confident that Kelso's election was assured for the crowds that met us in St. Louis and listened to our band and to Kelso's speeches seemed to think he was a Washington, Lincoln, McKinley and Wilson combined. At Atlanta, Georgia, Mrs. Richard joined the party and continued the trip with us. Our group seemed complete with Mrs. Richard in the party and we were once again convinced of the truth of the old proverb f 'U that Gentlemen Prefer Blondes-but marry Brunettes , for Mrs. Richard proved to be our class-mate. Laura Wolfe. Laurie's dark beauty was another hunch that Kelso's campaign would be successful for we re- membered reading that every First Lady, with one exception, since the time of Martha Wash- ington, had had dark hair. With Cub at the throttle we campaigned a great many cities and in Denver it was found necessary to send Kelso to a throat specialist. In making inquiries for the best specialist in the city some four or five were recommended but each person we asked seemed to think a Doctor Fiser had the best reputation. Having in mind our class-mate, Fuzzy Fiser, we decided to choose Dr. Fiser because of the similarity of names, never dreaming this Dr. Fiser would prove to be our own Claire Fiser from McClure. Dr. Fiser advised that Mr. Richard remain in the sanitarium for a couple of days for observa- tion and treatment. He ofered the services of his head nurse and said that he, himself, would supervise the treatment. It was finally decided that Dr. Fiser and his nurse should accompany the party for the remainder of the campaign for Mr. Richard's health must be safe-guarded at any cost. We were all anxious to meet the nurse, especially Mrs. Richard, for we all realized that so much of the patient's welfare depends on per- fect sympathy between the nurse and her patient. We were almost speechless with surprise when Dr. Fiser smilingly presented the nurse and proud- ly informed us that she was his newly acquired wife, for this peachy looking little nurse was Frances Van Tassel! We thought Mrs. Richard did not seem as pleased over the situation as Kelso but Van and Fuzzy acted as tho they were still in the third quarter of their honey-moon and we felt there would be no immediate danger of scandal if Van was included in our party. We left the sanitarium with Kelso much im- proved and traveled to California making stops in all the important cities in the West. In Los Angeles we inquired for the best hotel in the city and were directed to the Figueroa. Upon our arrival at the hotel we asked for the manager and introduced ourselves as the Democratic Presiden- tial candidate and party and asked for the best service the hotel afforded. He seemed pleased to have our patronage and told us that he remem- bered hearing the owner of the hotel speak of Mr. Richard as one of his class-mates. We were Fifteen
