T!- W Future School Da in Central Sue felt the gentle touch of the automatic waker-upper. Time to get up, said the soft voice of the machine. She gently lifted herself up and tip- toed into the shower. After getting a once over from the automatic sponge, she dressed and stepped on the escalator which led into the dining room. Her breakfast consisted of three pills: one containing cereal and bread and butter, another containing milk and orange juice, and the last which contained an apple, orange and plum in one. With the help of a glass of water, she quickly gulped these down, while ringing for her helicopter. She had five minutes to get to school and still had to call for Anne, who lived ten miles away. From the window of her helicopter, Sue could see Anne waiting on the roof of her house. Anne boarded the ship and soon both were on their way to school. A minute or so later, they were alighting on the roof of Central Commercial High School. There was practically no parking space left on the school building, but they were able to get one. Their regular school day then began. First came History. The class pllt on their intelligence helmets and in this way secured their knowledge in American History. YVhile these hats were on, the class could engage in any other activity they chose. Some talkedg others tried to catch up on their sleep. WVhen a change of subject was desired, all that was necessary to effect this change was the loosening of a screw at the top of the helmet and the pouring of a liquid into this opening which dissolved into knowledge and stayed with the student for the rest of his life. After the first three subjects, lunch was served. YVaiters came in with a tray of food, which consisted of a full meal, for each of the students. Only one more period remained. This was gym. Stenography, bookkeep- ing and other related subjects had long since been abandoned as school subjects, since atomic machines and devices had since been invented. In gym the class engaged in fencing, wrestling, baseball, boxing, basketball, foot- ball, polo, hockey, volley ball. and many, many other forms of sports. The girls participated in all of these and in addition had various exercises for slenderizing and beautifying their figures. At the end of the day, Sue and Anne met again on the roof of the school building and boarded their ship. Another day over with, said Sue. Yes, said Anne, I am glad next month is March and school will be over. Then we can look forward to eight months of vacation. Anne Gatto 34
