A When President Reagan met last year with a group of futurists, education emerged as the biggest single concern, topping even nuclear war Almost everybody, it seems, is voicing alarm over the current state of our schools.

DC, and state capitals In the future, trips to Madrid, for instance, to make a Spanish course more meaningful, may be commonplace p' Education will become more individualized. New instructional materials and technologies will make it possible for slow students to proceed at their own pace through a course, while faster students race ahead. p" Education will be viewed as a lifelong process.

We were often in a pretty playful mood and I remember a couple of times we gently threw the cashier in the Fish pond clothes and all. I don't recall what she did to deserve that or what she did to get even. Again, someone challenged us to put a hard roll in the lion's mouth in the ceiling. Of course that was easy.
