Lo ! In the North there glearns A golden light, From realms above it seems To pierce the night. Its swiftly moving shafts appear To brighten weary hearts and cheer Those who are sad. And like the Northern Light XVith glad'ning powers, To chase away the blight Of darker hours, We send across our darkened skies This glow of light, which full supplies For last year's dearth. Q Prologue. my Think whence it comes E Afar From Greenlancl's heights, Xllhere sunlight strikes a bar Of shifting ice g And flashes back athwart the skies A soft goodnight to starry eyes And hids them rest. Then slowly fade from sight Beneath the hills, And leave to us the night, XV hose blackness fills Our hearts with longing, all in vain, To see their peace-light pierce again Night's sable shroud. Let not harsh judgment shroud Its peaceful flame, Nor critics rash encloud Its share of fame. XYith sympathetic heart and mind, 'With genial feeling, warm and kind, It comes in view. See in yon lights a hand W'hose fingers tint The azure dome with bland Yet beauteous glint, They glow and shine with splendor rare A weird, inspiring, potent glare, So full of awe. It gives one class good-bye, A kind farewellg It bids the others vie To struggle well. Anil when these pages fade in night May others bring before Ol The AYRORA. lr sight

Last year the friends of Heidelberg patiently awaited the appearance of this display but were disappointed in Ending only an illusionary ray of light stretching a very short distance above the horizon. Now the third appearance is in plain view of all beholders and may all its glory and grandeur be appreciated by those beholding. Many obstacles have been met in the preparation of this volume, but by a united effort and persistent zeal the Junior Class now presents this work to its readers for perusal and inspection. XYe have endeavored to use every means to make this work attractive and valuable by the insertion of numerous engravings. For the mistakes that we have made we make no excuse, but simply ask you to consider what you would doin the same circumstances.
