To our faculty of Aurora College who have guided us on the academic highway number 1952 and who have given us new perspective when times were discouraging we are indebted for our advancement on the academic rood. Their personal integrity and loyalty have shown us the true Aurora spirit in action as they have joined us in class meetings, school parties, talent shows, homecom- ing, Shakespecrion productions, club meetings, senior skip and various other extra-curricular activities. For the fine quality of teachers at Aurora College we offer our heartiest thanks.

Mr. Cooprider serves as assistant registrar and has also been enrolled in graduate school at the University of Chicago. Their friendliness and spirit of co-operation have help- ed to weld the many phases of college life together into one harmonious organization. 20
