As our teams play in competitive sports we see that Aurora means a spirit of co-operation, teamwork and good sportsman- ship-all qualities which will prove indispensable in later life. All these ingredients are integral parts of a whole which we Aurora people call the Aurora spirit. It's this elusive spirit which will keep a corner of our hearts for the college, even though we may be miles away, and may not be abie to return for many years. It is this same spirit which makes the singing of Aurora such a thrilling experience. But the history of the college can never be completely severed from its spirit; for it is this combination which makes the college what it is today, what it means to us now, and what it can do for future generations. 16

He whom a dream hath possessed knowefh no more of roaming; All roads and fhe flowing ef waves and ihe speediesf flight he knows, But wherever his feet are set, his soul is forever homing, And going, he comes, and coming he hearefh a call and goes . . . He whom a dream hafh possessed treads the impalpable marches, From the dust of the day's long road he leaps to a laughing sfar, And the ruin of worlds fhaf fall he views from eternal arches, And rides God's bafer-field in a flashing and golden car.
