The Trail Blazer Senior Class Prophecy This is the summer of 1955, and I, Gloria Lee, nee Glenna Regest- er the new singing star of NBC at Hollywood, decided to take a rest trip east. As I was riding along on the streamliner and listening to the murmur of the wheels I iound my mind wondering back to the days of 1944 and 1945 when I was a senior of Melbeta High. As I rode along I started talking to a young nurse, who knew Dick Fullerton. I found to my surprise that he was the Chicago Cubs star first baseman. I decided to stop off there to watch him play ball the next day. When we pulled into the station the young nurse got off the train with me. She told me she was a nurse at the Fitzsimmons hospital, but she had left before I could ask her name. The next day I went shopping but happened to think about the ball game so I went to the ball park and was just in time to see Dick Fullerton hit a home run. He brought in three men, making the score 6 to 2 at the end of the game. As I walked back to the hotel I thought about the young nurse with whom I had visited on the train. So I decided to call on her. After talk- ing to her I said, You know it seems to me you look like someone I used to know. To my amazement she said, Well, my maiden name was Lois Lebertew, but now my name is Mrs. Ameche. You see I married Don Ameche's son. To say the least-I was surprised. In our conver- sation she mentioned Dwaine Johns and Bernard Schuman were both happily married and each had a pair of twins. They lived on adjacent farms in Iowa and they still stick like glue as they had in good old 1944 and 1945 school days. I decided to stop off there on my way back to Hollywood. This wouldn't be complete if I didn't tell you that I accidentally ran into Junior Pester in Buffalo, N. Y. and it is needless to say that he was still the gallant gentleman. He royally entertained me one evening at a very exclusive night club. He was the same old Junior-curly haired and dimples. He wasn't married but he told me about his various amours, and I was thrilled to hear he had made quite a place for himself as an actor, in fact I attended the play One Night Alone, in which he took the leading role. It seems that wonders never cease. My vacation ended all too soon. I went back to my career, tired but happy in the realization that I had met dear old friends that brought back to me pleasant memories of the good old days at Melbeta High. 1945
