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?

After graduating from the sixth grade, we entered into the various activities of Junior High School. On entering Senior High School, we carried on many successful campaigns for money. including the selling of pencils, and sponsoring of dances. under the supervision of Miss Arnold and Mr. Newberg. Our Junior year has been a prosperous one under the able leadership of Mr. Newberg. We have sold refreshments at the basketball games. selected and received our class rings, given the annual Jun- ior Play, entitled Just Ducky , and last of all. sponsored the Junior-Senior Reception. We are proud of our record in sports. Many of our boys participated in football. basketball. base- ball, and track during the l948-I949 season. Our athletes are: Elmer Alexander, Donald Allen, Wil- son Anders, Richard Beckett. George Bowden, Norman Gustin, Dean Howland, Robert Jennens, and Bill Porter. The class of 1950 is looking forward to a prosperous and exciting Senior Year.
