Wasn't it in the late 40's or early 50's?

Taking a wild stab here... would it happen to be Bill Clinton?

I know he's been making the rounds lately.

 

[Logix]

Okay, some hints... he's a Democrat (if you could have guess that anyway) and his last term ended at the beginning of 2001. Try searching the school newspaper.
