Dean Howland N I9-l8 one of the greatest upsets in political history occurred. West Carrollton High School forecast an early impediment in Dr. GalIup's and Roper's predictions. Members of the social science classes, under the direction of Mr. Carr and Mr. Huffman, held a pre-election straw vote. Students from these classes represented the four major parties in a noisy, colorful campaign program. Representing their respective parties were: John Throckmorton as Truman. Bernard Reeher as Dewey. Dean Howland as Wallace. and Elwood Wilson Thurmond. lt's still a puzzle how John. a staunch Republican was talked into representing President Truman. 'l'ruman's party provided a donkey, while Dewey's followers produced a bathing beauty. Also conspicuous were the spectacles and mustache of Truman and Dewey. The Dixiecrats chewed tobac- co treally shredded pineapplel while carrying on their campaigning. Mr, Wallace campaigned with a long-winded speech. lt was a very enjoyable program. providing an interesting afternoon for students as well as faculty. Mr. Truman predicted his brilliant success by collecting 195 votes, whereas Dewey received IOS. The Progressive party polled I2 votes. while the Dixiecrats had ll voters' support. Well. Dr. Gallup and Elmo Roper. what do you say now?
