JUN 4 1947 . o fated w 2 ni X5 ' v Ms THE TITLE OF OUR YEARBOOK Since we wish to have our readers share in the pride which we feel regarding the title of our book, we should like to relate the legend of Lake Innitou. In the early days of our country, when Indians roamed the land and the white man was little known, legend has it that Horn Pond was a frequent haunt of these Red Skins. At that time, the mountain behind the pond was known as Manitou, and the pond as Innitou. The legend comes down to us that the old spirit, Man¬ itou, liked to gaze at his reflection in the clear waters of Innitou. Thus, we gather that Innitou was the “looking glass” for Man¬ itou and the Indians of those days. So, today, the Class of 1947 has chosen the name “The Innitou” for its “Looking Glass” of school friends and activities.
