Kansas · United States · School

Lavatories flush and doors work by themselves. There used to be a piano at the very top of the school, and it played.

A good many things are reported at this school in Pittsburg, Kansas, and most of them are the ordinary school set: lavatories flushing on their own, doors opening and closing.

The one that has lasted is the piano. There used to be one at the very top of the building, and it played by itself.

A piano in an attic is a specific and slightly absurd piece of school architecture, and it is exactly the sort of thing that happens in an old building. Instruments get moved upstairs when a room is needed, and then nobody wants to carry them down again.

A piano is also the loudest thing anybody could put in a school attic, which is presumably why generations of pupils knew about it.

The school is in use.
