From one of the caves located on the out lcirts of the camp we hear a deep resonant voice emoting. On looking in we see Ret iart gesticulating madly as he sings of the heroes of the tribe. As we follow the rest of the tribe we see Namlcreb bid- ding farewell to a group of stneduts, and telling them to be good till he returns. Further down, Kculg meets VVokark and they discuss various disciplinary measures. lt seems that Kculg believes in the written word. Sufyerd emerges from her cave, where she has been directing a French play, to join the crowd. And suddenly we see l-lcsad. Poor l-lcsad. All the tribesmen and stneduts bring their problems to him to solve. Wle wonder how he has retained his sanity this long. Finally we reach the ceremonial grounds. And there, in the midst of the reverent Ytlucafs, we see the medicine man, Reztievvhcs. l-le tells them in Ytlucafian that a very important prophecy is about to be made. Silence reigns as Reztiewhcs communes with the Muse. And then he tells, with closed eyes, of what he has heard. The Gods of the Ytlucafs have announced that in the future all Ytlucafian names will be spelled baclif ward . We silently leave the dumbfounded people contemplat- ing this momentous news, and rextujh to our own land, where names are only spelledglckwarcy ads. ff ?lB1ARVIWONIGSBERG AND PHYLLIS IWATLER X X M r WM ,jf X x J - sf' y fi y, .

O 101. 1' lhvyb N a bright summer's day in the year 2000, a young boy, leisurely flying in his heliocopter over an overgrown swamp, was suddenly startled when his radar dial began to spin wildly indicating the presence of metal in the ground. With the curiosity of the young, he descended and proceeded to investigate. He came upon a metallic cylinder partially imbedded in the groundg but before he opened the tube, pangs of hunger assailed him so he swallowed his condensed lunch tablets and took some vitamins for a chaser. I-le then examined the tube and found that it contained some ancient documents concerning a long un- heard of educational institution called Taft. The name struck a responsive chord in his memory-why that was the school that sank into the swamp until neither brick nor girder was left. I-le read on and found that the documents contained a history of the first five years of Taft. It began . . .
