Foreword INCE the time when huge glaciers crept slowly over the northern sections of the state encasing massive boulders which gouged out great basins, we have had our lakes. Thousands of them, green pearls in a setting of virgin timber. Lakes, river, streams, the route for travel for the Indians. They plied these wa- terways with their birchbark canoes in quest of hunt- ing territory and trapping marshes. Fishing was car- ried on only in amounts sufhcient for their needs. Con- sequently, when the first white settlers arrived, they had but to cast their line to catch many varieties of fish ranging from the sulking muskellonge to the flashing brook trout. iii i iii iii i it i'ii i i ' Minnesota's wild lifesis also abundant. Deer roam the silent forests. Porcupines amble along the trails, chattering and scolding in their silly manner. Beavers build their dams and slap their broad flat tails with re- sounding whacks on the placid waters. Moose crunch the delicious lily roots and birds furnish the music of the wilderness. No wonder then, that with so much natural beauty and wild grandeur we, the members of the Maroon Staff, should, if only as a token of appreciation to God's most worthy gift, use lakes as the theme of theinine- teen-hundred and thirty-two Maroon. Y e who love the haunts of N ature, Love the sunshine of the meadow Lofve the lakes amid the forests Love the wind among the branches.
