Amid great uproar, Miss Jennings thumps vigorously upon the bell, and scowls down upon the disor- derly multitude. Anna Cooper and Anna Russell stand meekly on each side of Miss Jennings, whose thumping grows deafening.) Miss Jennings (in a martyr-like tone): If I can have the attention of those girls in the rear of the room for a few minutes, I should like to make a very important announcement. The Senior Class will meet their Manager — (turning around abruptly to Anna Russell) where is the meeting to be held? Anna Russell (in a meek whisper): In Miss Green ' s room immediately. Miss Jennings: In Miss Green ' s room immediately. Now those girls in the rear of the room may bring their books up here and spend the next two hours standing, not lounging, behind mv chair. (Gives the bell a final vigorous thump, and the classes rush out.) (Miss Green ' s recitation-room. Temperature ISO. Number of scarred-up benches huddled together in the middle of the room. A generation of Nashville soot upon discarded topic books on the antique mantle in the rear of the room. Class tumbles in, some bearing Psychologies and a goodly number History of Art books.) Elizabeth Dallas (gliding through the door as class settles down on benches): Gracious goodness, Anna Russell, why were you obliged to have this horrid meeting at this period? I simplv must study mv History of Art. Anna Russell (in impressively distant tones): I am afraid, Elizabeth, that if I consulted each member of the class individually when I wished to have a meeting there never would be any meeting. This class is the most unpatriotic lot I ever ran up against. Here we poor editors struggle night and day, and you are not even willing to come to one meeting. Anna Cooper (wearing a pileously worried expression): Do let ' s go to work. I am afraid we wont get half through anything before the bell rings. Anna Russell, what must we talk about first? (The editors whisper apart and make mysterious ■movements with backs turned to class). Martha Lipscomb (looking extremely bored): Hurry up, you all; we haven ' t got all day to sit here, with our minds far from our beloved studies. I shan ' t get E. in a thing to-day at this rate. Anna Cooper (facing the class with a flaming red dummy of the Iris, and a long finger-marked document) : Girls, the most important thing to come up before the class to-day is to decide what shade of red the Iris shall be. (Interruption from the business manager, who has been swinging her feel and whistling a low tune) : Now, please don ' t imagine that that thing is going to be the color. That book is only the dummy, and though you may not know it, a dummy is not supposed to be like the genuine article, except rarely in shape. Jean McDonald (smiling pleasantly and in an animated tone of voice): 0, Anna Russell, I know a dandy shade. Just the color we want. Anna Russell (eagerly): Do tell me; any suggestion on earth to help the poor editors ' Jean: A brick red as back-ground, with light pink shading. Elizabeth Dallas (raising her eye broil ' s, and in a very pleading tone of voice): What does that word shading mean when applied to color in leather? Anna Russell (impatiently): I don ' t know; but that does not signify. It isn ' t at all important. (In a condescending tone to Graham Alexander, who has been trying to speak for five minutes) What were you about to say, Graham? Graham (looking up sideways from her History of Art) : How are the Seniors going to have their pictures taken, in basrelief and strong contrast to the background — Anna Russell (abruptly interrupting, while the class titters in suppressed giggles): Thank you for that important suggestion. ( ;; a very emphatic tone, and punctuating her remarks with gestures) : Every Senior who does not have her picture taken before, or by, February 27th, will not appear in the Iris (with deep earnestness) . Honestly, this is no joke; and, moreover, no girl can have her picture taken in a low, round, or V-shaped garment. It ' s not in good taste for a school girl. (Clamoring protests from Elisabeth Dallas, Fannie Campbell, and Marcia Sellers) Oh, please lets do. It ' s so much nicer than old plain shirt-waists. Anna Cooper (who still wears troubled expression): Oh, we don ' t mean shirt waists, do we, Anna Russell? Just ordinary, common afternoon dresses. Lvdia Barrs (suddenly coming back to earth from the mysteries of psychology) : Oh, Anna Russell, couldn ' t we have some quaint, strange illustrations along the margin of the pages in the Iris, sort o ' gold and red, like they used to use in the old manu- scripts in ancient times? Anna Russell (very satirically) : I fancy, Lydia, that would be slightly imprac- ticable. Anna Cooper (imploringly): Hurry up, girls; pray let ' s decide. Everybody vote about the color of the Iris. Those in favor of brick red with pink trimmings, kindly make it known by getting up on the benches and shouting yes. Elizabeth Dallas (endeavoring to step up gracefully, with one foot poised in the air): Shade of Jupiter, I can ' t step up there. I ' ll just say yes where I am. Anna Russell (taking down notes on a tablet in a business-like manner): Thank goodness, that ' s finished. Now, if vou will kindly have the decency to listen to me for a few minutes, I am going to read a poem, which has been written to represent the ■ Senior Class in the Iris. Please tell me frankly what you think about it, but don ' t interrupt, since we haven ' t but twenty-three more seconds. (A clamor from the class whose heads are all buried in books) : Oh, gracious goodness alive, we haven ' t got time to hear that stuff ; we don ' t know our next period lessons. Let ' s cut that out and go on to something that doesn ' t have to be listened to. Anna Russell (utterly oblivious): This effusion is entitled ' A Sweet Senior Maiden — ' There once was a sweet Senior Maiden, Who never got anything right, She always omitted her G ' s, And never pronounc A series of jerky explosions from the bell over the door, which causes the class to put their hands over their ears. Everybody jumps up and makes a rush for the door, leaving Anna Russell mumbling away in the middle of the room. Tbe Revery of a Senior nT is the first of May. How soon it will be before the all-important day, the great day of graduation, comes. It has seemed as if it would never come, and you have thought with what joy you were going to welcome the first of May. What causes this different feeling, is it the time of afternoon? It is just at sunset; and now as you sit under your favorite tree, the old dogwood, with your books piled high around you, your eyes wander toward the west, where the sun has just disappeared, leaving its glorious touches on the solemn sky. The line from Wordsworth, The clouds that gather round the setting sun do take a sober coloring from the eye that hath kept watch o ' er man ' s mortality, keep flitting through your thoughts far more easily than they did several months ago when you thought it so unrea- sonable to be asked to learn the ode. Probably the very stillness of the hour has much to do with your mood and takes your mind far, far away from the books at your side. Many an afternoon you have sat here and dreamed, but then your thoughts wandered into the future — to the time when you would be a Senior, and even farther. Is it be- cause at last you are a Senior and feel the weight of your seventeen years that your mind now returns from the future and goes to the past? Or is it because you are soon to lay aside your books that you feel the sorrow at parting with your schoolhood days, which you have always declared you wished were over? Probably even up until the end — of course you mean the end of school days — you never again will have such thoughts as these, but now they are overpowering. Everything else is forgotten, even the old turkey gobbler who every afternoon struts up to receive the corn which he knows will be waiting, has gobbled and scraped his wings, and done all in his turkeyship ' s power to let you know that he is ready to be served, and now becom- ing impatient, succeeds in getting the ear of corn on the bench at your side to fall to the ground, and there in offended silence pecks the grains one by one from the cob. The old dogwood itself must feel that you need stirring ; this old dogwood is even older than you; what a great age it must be, for when you first started to school it had an arm strong enough to bear your solid weight. It is toward those days when you were young that now in your old age your mind turns. You even remember the very first book you had, a Reader with wonderful pictures ; and just as soon as you got home from school and were ready for study — study you called it then, but at last you realize it was only play — you would race out to the old dogwood, and with a squirm or two up you would go and seat yourself just where two limbs forked. In those ancient days little girls had pockets, and yours, to suit your needs, was unusually large; there was a needle and a spool of thread in it, for of course when your tree had flowers on it you had to sew the leaves and flowers together into wonderful hats; then when the flowers went away and the little red berries came there were coral necklaces and bracelets galore. Besides the spool of thread and the needle there were shelled acorns, and bits of bread for the old turkey, for there was a gobbler in those days, too, not of course the same one as now, for there have been a whole series since that time. You remember shedding many tears over the departed gobblers; some died because their years were many, but even more because Christmas and Thanksgiving were days of feasting, feasts at which the turkeys appear, it is true, in the flesh but without the feathers. Poor old gobblers, they had to pay for the bits they got from your pockets ; you would throw the corn away off and make them run for it, or, as was more fun, to tie some of the useful thread to a grain of corn and dangle it right over their heads, then at last let them swallow the corn, but you, full of the spirit of mischief, would hold to the string. True it is that you carried the Reader with you up the tree, but also true it is that generally the Reader had a great fall, and sometimes remained under the tree all night. Then the days of the First Reader and the paper doll playing in the primary room passed by, and you found yourself in the chapel; a first intermediate, looking down on the primaries, and though you would not have acknowledged it then, look- ing up towards the seniors. Yet, though you were a dignified and grown-up girl, on the bright spring afternoons you did not give up your dogwood tree, though it was a wee bit more difficult to hoist yourself up, and it was lucky that the tree grew in pro- portion to your size and number of books. In those days the books did not fall so often, nor was the gobbler teased so much. Thus two years longer you enjoyed your tree, but soon you became a Freshman, and then it was that you made up your mind to put aside childish things, yet you were taught that fresh air was healthful, so there was an excuse for having a seat built around the tree, and then sure it was not childish to feed a turkey, only humane, so still you were sheltered under the dogwood. Sometimes if you had time, for in those days you wrote themes and studied literature, not grammar, mind you, you would regretfully look up at your old seat, and what harm is it now to tell that once in a while you would actually go up? Well, there was not much change between the Freshman and the Junior year; your dresses only grew longer and your pile of books larger. Yet when the Junior year came you had forgotten that you had ever been a primary, or anything but a quiet, sedate young lady, who expected to be a Senior. That was the time when all your thoughts went far into the future, pausing only on the vision of yourself, dressed in the most beautiful of white dresses, surrounded by the most beautiful of flowers, and a diploma in your hand. There had been a day, when in a burst of love for the old dogwood, you had declared you thought her flowers more beautiful than any, but in your vision there were no dogwood branches about you — only American Beauties, lilies and fine flowers. This all came to your mind while a Junior, the time seemed far away when your dream should be realized, and yet it was a vivid one. Now here you sit ; you have reached the goal ; you are a Senior ; your hopes are realized, and just this afternoon, as you rest here beneath the old dogwood, with the white petals about you, you have not the feeling of joy that you anticipated at the thought of finishing school, but instead a feeling of sadness, which has carried you back and allowed you to go over again the years of school work gone by. You do not think now of the trials of school, but of its pleasures that are almost past. You wonder how you could have ever have wished so much to finish, and you begin to think of how much better you might have done, and this thought brings you back to the present. There is still time to do better, four weeks are ahead, and much may be gotten out of those weighty looking books by your side, so you begin to gather them up. The dark clouds of night are beginning to overcloud the sky and a gentle breeze stirs the old dogwood, brushing down a shower of petals upon you. Some are caught in the leaves of your books to be opened at some future day and found pressed, a remainder of this afternoon when you mused on school days gone by.

Tr e Woe? of tbe Juniors (with apologies to homer.) J -ING, oh Muses, the woes of the tribe called Juniors; the harrowing woes that make of the fair tribe of Juniors, rattling skeletons upon which there is no flesh. For, verily, through many moons have they endured exceed- ing tribulation, and for many moons more shall they endure, for so it is written in the prophecies of the catalogue. Lo, early in the morning they assemble with the tribes of their kinfolks in a great room in the house called Wards. And the house doth echo again as the hosts sit them down, and there is turmoil. And behold, the chief ruler of the tribes, even she that doth sit on high in the place of assemblage, doth descend therefrom and doth stand among the hosts and make words as follows: Verily, hearken ye! I insist upon order; I must have order and I will have order. For fifteen minutes thereafter do they rend the atmosphere with sweet music from their vocal organs, and with sweet smiles do sing 268, while a man doth wave his arms before them that the songs of the tribes may be sweeter to hear. Then do the tribe of the Juniorites separate themselves from thei r kindred that they may learn a strange language. But, alas! the tribe of the Juniorites do walk in evil and unsound ways ; they do read from a book which is called a pony, and because of their iniquity do possess brains which she that teacheth Latin doth declare to be bogus. She doth speak unto them from her mouth winged words: Lo, abide you in silence and give ear unto my words. The stupidity of the Juniors is a sore trial unto my heart, and verily you shall all have U ' s. With many bewailments and much flowing water from out the eyes do they betake themselves to a room wherein they do learn to draw strange figures. But, alas, the learned pedagogue doth lift her hands to wring them withal and doth speak with her mouth thusly : Ye gods, ye gods! I am so nervous I could fly. Drawing wisdom from thy empty heads verily is like unto extracting teeth. Were it not for thee, Mary, daughter of Barnwell, I should long since have been laid to repose with my ancestors. Whereupon she whose name is Amelia gently murmurs, Now, O wise one whose name is Sheppe, I know all concerning this. Just wait. But sorely wroth doth the nervous one turn them forth, and on their feet they depart therefrom unto a meeting which is called daily together by the awe-inspiring ruler of fire-darting eyes. Now, she of the fierce look is frequently much perturbed in her spirits by the movements which certain of the other tribes do make with their feet across the floor, and the sounds they do form with their lips. Therefore doth she make harangue thusly • Verily he who doth arise again from his seat shall surely stand upon his legs in that spot wherein I find him with my eyes until I do command him to stir therefrom. Now speaks the ruler unto Mary, whose second name is Goff : Say unto me what you know about Caesar, who, without the shadow of a doubt, was a most extraordinary man. And Mary makes answer for fifteen minutes. Hereupon doth there come unto the side of the ruler a black woman who doth bear a message withal. She of the keen eyes doth glower upon the black woman so that her knees do tremble beneath her and doth remark that she simply cannot be so continually interrupted, but doth also arise and with a loud voice make inquiry whether Kate Chambers be in the room, and doth say, Well, where dwelleth the damsel Kate, surnamed Chambers? Verily, anybody that doth set their eyes upon her make request that she draw nigh unto my presence immediately if not sooner. Then doth speak one named Mabel concerning that man Alba Longa, so that laughter unquenchable doth arise from out the mouth s of the Junior History class. And straightway do they repair unto that place wherein doth sit in state she surnamed Chapman, that giveth many U ' s and few E ' s, she that believeth in much air and much washing in water withal, and doth make frequent harangue thereon. Now, the air of the room wherein sitteth she named Chapman is purified by the outside atmosphere which doth enter in through five open windows. And, verily, icicles do hang about the ceiling and the wintry blasts do blow away the manuscripts of the Juniorites. And, lo, the stern aspect of the wise woman doth strike terror to the hearts of the timid. She doth open her mouth in speech unto Andrewena, scribe of the Juniors, saying: Miss Alexander, thou of the slothful tribes of Wards, which do nothing but eat and sleep, do thou repeat unto me a few chapters of Chaucer. And verily Andrewena cannot. Then is the wise woman wroth, and doth speak winged words into the ambrosial air as follow: Behold, thou shalt in nowise get an E, thou nor any of thy idle kindred, saving only one or two. And, verily, shalt thou be far from my heart, which shall be even the worse for thee. Then doth she also make a question unto her surnamed Scruggs, who truly doth patro- nize The Grand in preferment to Everyman. And, lo, the foolish one who did not attend Everyman answers, I do not know, and for her also is it even the worse. And concerning Esther, the trifler, and all others of the tribe of iniquitous Juniors, doth she pronounce hard things from her heart. They do fan themselves with bricks and feathers and ' tis like would ne ' er recover were it not that at this time their souls are refreshed with beefsteaks and distilled water. And, behold, in the last hour are they committed unto the instructions of one named Green, that they may become authors. And verily the Juniors do write thrill- ing stories, sublime descriptions and weighty arguments. But, alas! she named Green doth find many flaws, and doth not appreciate the genius of the Juniors. And, verily, she doth make with her lips embarrassing comment and doth cause red blushes to appear on the fair cheeks of the Juniors, through great depths of Mennen ' s talcum powder withal. But surely unto her called Anna and her named Carrie Duncan doth she ever hand out a sweet smile. And, lo, here endeth the tale of the woes of the Juniors. Ethel C. Cosgrove. SOPHOMORE. V: k uhAi •M - t y La cly Sopborporc My lady in the motor car How cute and coy your blushes are ! Ah, tell me truly I implore Are you my lady Sophomore ? Two years of test before you lie, And puzzling paths your wits defy. There ' s many a sum to vex your soul, Before you reach the happy goal, Against the dangers dark insure And let me be your brave chauffeur. Ah, lovely lady turn your eyes, To where the shining portals rise, For Cupid with his piercing dart Lurks by the way to wound your heart, But flowers bloom ' round yonder gate To crown you sweet girl graduate. Tbiogs Well To Be Remembered LWAYS sit in a dignified position in Literature, and never look as though you are going to sleep. Topics must appear on scene of action on Monday. Be sure to keep the seat assigned to you in History and keep clear of the back row. In Algebra always have two things equaling each other in order that Axiom I may be put in parenthesis. No example with less than two hundred steps will be accepted. Beware of all quadrupeds in Latin, and above all things do not get trapped. Not to the point is a most terrible thing to have written on topics, themes, etc. It is well to at least read your Bible lesson over before coming to class. Lastly, in all things live up to the standing (?) of a Sophomore.

These examples in elimination are awfully tedious. Suppose you work the first by comparison and I will work it by substitution, and see if we get the same result. Betty, have you seen Jack lately? You did? How lucky you are! Where did you say for me to substitute? Goodness! Just look at the clock; we ' ve been working on this algebra almost an hour. Betty, you don ' t know what you missed by not going yesterday. Six of us Freshmen went together. I knew you would be sorry you didn ' t go. O dear! This theme! I can ' t write it to save my life. Thesubject is hard enough for the Juniors. Must you go, Betty? I ' m so sorry. Well, we have studied two long hours, and if we have bad lessons to-morrow it won ' t be because we didn ' t study.

He was a promising specimen, and I had great hopes of his becoming cock-of-the-walk ; but it was not to be. While still in the prime of his kittenhood, Peter fell sick and died. After my first outburst of grief had subsided, I concluded to hold a wake over him. At first my friends seemed prostrated by the news of his death, but visibly brightened at the mention of a funeral. I and the minister-to-be spent all that day rendering the last services to the dead. We wrapped him in a white shroud and laid him out upon the washboard. He looked very gruesome, except that his tail would stick straight out from under everything, despite our efforts to conceal it. We covered him with a split pillow- case, tied at each corner with a black ribbon, and carried him into the parlor, where we established him upon two chairs. Then we tied a draggled piece of crepe to the front door knob, and retired to compose the burial service. Our guests were unusually prompt that night. All were in their places, when the minister, clad in what was familiarly known as Dad ' s long-tailed coat, rose to deliver her sermon. She started out bravely on the biography of Peter, but the very mention of his name caused such a tide of emotion that she was forced to wait until quiet could be restored. Her whole sermon was punctuated with similar outbursts of feelings. When she had finished, she took her seat, and another friend of the deceased read an impassioned appeal entitled Friends, mourners, pallbearers, lend me your tears. Two other poetic effusions, sacred to the memory of Peter, fol- lowed, each one producing in turn a startling effect upon the audience. When all were finished the minister, rising, announced in a sepulchral tone, The pallbearers will now take up the body and bear it to its final resting-place — meaning the watermelon patch in the back yard. Influenced, doubtless, by the cus- tom in such matters, we had chosen two gentlemen to be pallbearers, and it was not until too late that we saw our mistake. Disregarding all customary formalities, they proceeded, literally, to take up the body, ignoring the presence of the washboard. Horrified beyond measure, we flew to the rescue and persuaded them to release the unfortunate body. Peter ' s grave garments had not been adjusted with an eye to this emergency, and he had to be re-wrapped before we could proceed. At last they were secured; the minister gave the word, and the pallbearers started off, this time, with the washboard between them. We followed them out of the front door in single file, I at the end, bearing a torch. They were half way down the front steps when a sudden cry of Whoop, there she goes! broke from the one behind, and we beheld him seize the corpse by the tail, just in time to keep it from sliding off on the ground. An unseemly, giggle swept down the line. After that the minister watched more closely than ever to see that Peter ' s remains suffered no further indignities. Nevertheless, I thought we would never reach the grave. While rounding the corner of the house the rear pallbearer ran into a post, and the other one fell down. Again it was only Peter ' s tail that saved him. They insisted upon carrying the washboard at a most perilous angle, and nothing could have induced them to keep step. Finally, however, we did reach the grave. They were just about to drop Peter into it — and it seemed as if there was nothing else left to happen — when I needs that washboard came from the kitchen door. My hopes of the interment of my kitten began to shrivel; he seemed bewitched. But my guests were evidently more resourceful, for when I looked around again Peter was in the hole with a half inch of dirt over him, while the offending washboard lay serenely at my feet. While tha grave was filling up, all those who were not shoveling dirt favored all those who were, with My Peter, thou art dead, an original composition set to the tune of Nearer My God to Thee. The last note died away; the last clod tumbled into place, and all was over with Peter. Katharine Hammond. Peacb Crops Corrje ai?d Go NCE again the graduation days roll around. Once again the sweet girl graduate holds regal sway. Florists hang out their busy day sign. Papa goes down in his jeans again for the long green and with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow seeks out the jeweler ' s shop. Newspapers begin their annual consumption j of spring poetry Odes to Girlhood, innocence, and all that sort of thing. The college boy, big trousers, and a little sample of the cap he is intending to buy on the back of his overworked head (caused by butting in) is seen everywhere; on the streets, in the shops, looking down on life ' s tragedy from the roost of the theater, or standing around the lobby of the hotel. He suddenly takes an abnormal interest in recitals, church services, receptions, musicals, and other forms of herding the people (a college doesn ' t make fools, it develops them). On a bright May morning they gather. There ' s the President over there looking chesty and important. He is a great fisherman, you must know, and has written a learned treatise on How to prevent bad effects caused by the bite of venomous rep- tiles. There is something about this treatise that cheers and brightens, and it is needless to say this something comes in bottles. But the President ' s all right, and here ' s to him in Cumberland River punch. Near the President, foreign looking and distinguished, the cynosure of all feminine eyes, another member of the faculty. Altogether he is a pretty high-toned article, makes one want to say Monsieur and sug- gests the boulevards of gay Paree. On his face is a screamingly comic expression, seeming to say we are all here to kill time, and I ' ll try to sit through the performance. But he is the only one in captivity and must be handled with care. Our principal we see, sad-eyed at our going, looking into each loving face and thinking of the happy days gone by and the rest ahead. Ordinarily the mention of our names to her causes about as much enthusiasm to stir her as would Willie Brejan ' s name in Wall Street. Yet times have been when she actually seemed to dislike some of us. But now we know better; Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth. The faculty is the primal cause of our being here. They are the ones behind the guns. They have led us down the paths of learning, out the long road of art, through the wanderings of the English Literature, around the log of Mathewmatics. They have unfolded the secrets of Chemistry. We all know what radium is and can easily detect sodium chloride and write the formula for water. They have shown us that the menial profession of cook is not to be despised. How often we have heard some- thing like this: Suppose some day your cook left you; got sick, or was run over by a motor car. Husband down town telephones you that he will have an old college friend home for dinner. Now, what would you do? Thanks to our instruction, we are equipped for this emergency. Only a few minutes would be required to knock together a meal, put a bowl of flowers in the center of the table, robe ourselves in a charming gown, and wearing the smile of welcome, give husband and old college friend the glad hand and happy look at the door. After dinner, while John and his old friend are in John ' s room silently inspecting some old book-binding and a new device for carbonating lemonade, we are domestically washing dishes. All the knowledge we owe to our dear teachers. All this and many more things. Perhaps now we don ' t realize how much good we have from our life in school. Perhaps as that crusty old lady out there in the audience thinks we are only giddy girls and know nothing prac- tical. Time will show and all men come to her who waits, if she doesn ' t wait too long. But let us turn to the main attraction, the graduates, the others are only a side show. They are all here. Here is she who comes from one of the oldest and best families in the State, and wants every one to know it. She is one of those charter members of this foot-stool. The Lord made them and then quit. The rest of us just happened. That ' s the rich girl whose daddy has the dough. He is the big fellow with the warm tie and hot waistcoat sitting out there. He has just figured on back of his cuff that daughter inventories about $250 as she sits, and is wondering if it wouldn ' t be a good plan to get a detective to escort her home. Over on the end is the big brunette, strikingly handsome in a big black way. There ' s the girl with the dreamy eyes we hear so much about, and the cute little blonde, not to mention several blondines. But time flies. While we have been meditating the exercises are finished, the audience is filing out, only a few bad college boys left trying to flirt. To these faithful few also we must now say good-bye. Peach crops come and go, you know, and we ' ll meet you all when the peaches bloom again. Au revoir. Notes 017 Health N DECEMBER the well known speaker, Mrs. Townsend, gave before the school a series of interesting and instructive lectures on Hygiene. The following are some notes handed in by various classes : Notes 1. Never at any time take food upon an empty stomach. 2. Never do any work immediately after eating; rest for at least two hours after each meal. 3. Do not rise before seven o ' clock in the morning, and eight o ' clock would be even better. 4. When asleep be very careful to assume a correct position and breathe first through one nostril, then the other. 5. Castile soap is good for the eyes, sand paper for the teeth, vaseline for the feet, and listerine for the hair. (Be very careful not to get these directions confused.) 6. Chew every morsel you eat sixteen times, and at the same time indulge in cheerful con- versation. 7. Deep breathing and drinking a quantity of water will cure any known disease — even small-pox and yellow fever. Suggested A eous BREAKFAST Force Postum LUNCH Shredded Biscuit Two Nuts DINNER Clear Soup Pettijohn Two and one-half nuts (if the system should be in a condition to digest such heavy food) Ice Cream (of Wheat) Whatever else you may forget, remember this: Breathe deep and drink plenty of water, especially during school hours !

Tbe Argonauts HEN Jason led the valiant Argonauts From Hellas and Iolchos by the sea, To sail to distant lands and do a deed No man had ever dared, their hearts were strong, Their faces set undaunted toward one end, To conquer, and bring home the Golden Fleece, Or come not home themselves. How well they fared Has been in song and story written oft, And needs not here my telling ; but the Fleece, The price of all their labor they achieved, Fighting their way through dangers manifold, And bore it home in triumph. Ages since Have passed, and dark Aietes guards no more His Fleece from Greek marauders ; vanished now The dragon and the dim enchanted wood, And Brimo, the witch-huntress, with her pack. But still for each of us there is a Fleece, Wild, stormy seas to sail e ' re it be ours, Dragons to conquer e ' re we capture it. Still do we younger, happier Argonauts Love the ideals those Minyan heroes taught ; Honor and courage still are dear to us, Hateful are lying tales, and all deceit ; And, for the tasks that come to us through life, May we perform them with a right good will, And never shame the noble name we bear.

She had no great gift herself, but a love that was almost a passion. She was happy when she became old enough to study, and the study was never a drudgery, not even the finger exercises and scales which frighten most children. She said that she really liked them, this dear little girl ! Bach had no terror for her ; she pronounced him interesting. From the first, however, she felt always something lacking in her own Music, and often in that of others; a want, a something unsatisfied, a nameless longing and a vague unrest. As she grew in musical knowledge, she felt this more and more, this cry of the soul. At last, one day, she fell asleep, and she heard the most won- ful Music ; it was complete, satisfying, no unrest, nothing unfinished. It was most beautiful, ecstatic, and what she had always longed to hear, but she was afraid it would not last. She said, I shall awake presently and find it a dream. But, no ! she did not awake, and it was not a dream ! f iss Wardlav Instructor OUTDOOR SPORTS MISS WARDLAW . ANNA BLANTON ELLEN SELMAN . ROSA McRAE .

What a motley array of things there are hidden among ' the leaves of this beloved red volume — photographs, stories, jokes, illustrations — a variously assorted mass meaningless to the uninitiated, but crowded with associations for the least of us. How much of our school life is bound up in The Iris; what a host of recollections this book will always bring with it. When we shall grow old and prosaic, a peep into our half-forgotten Iris, lying discarded upon the upper shelf, will make us school girls once more.
