THE. J[ ,RIS 1907 TKe Iris Go then, sweet flower, to worlds beyond The gardens wherein you gently grew; Fro m tender maiden hearts, whose fond Care and affection go with you. Within your petals, faces fair Perchance will gladden those who see. Perchance in after years their smiles Will bring old longings back to me. From out your purple Iris heart There runs a song, forever sweet, The ecstacy of girlhood ' s voice Just where the brook and river meet. 3@ dltdtton Si n token of onr lone anfi gvstitn e to i lin ei.

BLANTOX E EDMUXD BURWEI.I The Declaration of Independence WHEN in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one set of girls to dissolve the bonds of imprisonment and hard study, which have separated them from the pleasures of the outside world, and to assume among the powers of the earth the distinct and equal privilege of coming out — the goal which they and their calculating mothers have watched year after year, a decent respect to the opinions of the student body requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the dissolution. We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all Seniors are human beings; that we are endowed by our Creator with certain rights and privileges; that among these afre life, — that is to say, eating when and what we please; liberty, that is, liberty to prome- nade about town when it suits our fancy, — liberty to choose as to when, where and with whom to take our daily walks, — and liberty to sleep as long as our drooping lids dictate; and the pursuit of happiness, — such as receiving at least six callers a day, — having midnight feasts, and attending dinner and box parties. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is our right and privilege to abolish it, and we here and now, in our Senior year, do abolish all said government, and do institute a new regime for the benefit of the Seniors-to-come, laying its foun- dation on such principles as we have just named. The class of 1907 has exhibited a wonderful amount of patient sufferance, and it is now necessary to alter the former systems of government. The history of the present rulers of our establishment, — namely, the Faculty, is a history of repeated usurpations. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. They have, at all times, refused their signatures to petitions for holidays and excursions to the Dudley football field and other such expeditions most wholesome and necessary for our happiness They have refused to pass certain laws for the accommodation of the boarding pupils, — for example, laws to prohibit the nightly tramps of the watchman to remind them when to put out their lights, and likewise his day-break journey over the house, cow bell in hand, to rouse each of the said victims from that most restful early morning nap. They have called together repeatedly a so-called ninth period class, — that is, an after-school class where every talkative young lady has an opportunity to make up any time lost during school hours. They have made our wills submit to theirs always, — and have used their judgment alone concerning the distribution of S ' s and P ' s. They have thrust upon us this mighty privilege (?) of issuing yearly an Annual, equal only to the abilities of statesmen, and have stationed, in times of peace, standing armies, — namely, the Staff, in order to keep revived within us that ever-smouldering fire of interest. In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms; but our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated usurpations. In such a bondage and under such ruling powers have we existed since September 28, 1906, unto this present date. We, therefore, the Senior Class of 1907, do, guided by the author- ity of our most exalted conscience, solemnly publish and declare, on this twenty-eighth day of May in the year of our Lord, 1907, that we are free and independent beings; that we are absolved from all allegiance to Ward Seminary ' s crown; and that, as free and independent characters, we have the liberty to return at once to our respective homes and enjoy the pursuit of happiness which inde- pendent girls may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our love. (Signed) f o a ' CjiAcica. T| oSUJC? OVA. P « aJ ( jUA Mj ' On Bein A.sKed to Write a Senior Poem ' Class poem — that ' s easy — Just call on the muse, Then tune up our lyre And begin to enthuse. First trot out the phrases We ' ve all heard so oft, And work in the sentiment Sticky and soft. Heave a sigh for our school days, Their companionship sweet; Mix up learning ' s fair paths And our own youthful feet. Palpitate over pleasures Of class room and hall; Fondly dwell on the pictures Upon memory ' s wall. Then a spiel on ideals, Aspirations and dreams; Intimate rather strongly All is not what it seems. On life and its meaning Come out good and strong; Be soulful, uplifting — Don ' t run on too long. Now looms the great future, And of course without fail We will ask what is hidden ' Neath its mystical veil. Now pile on our rainbows And roses and slush, And close in a climax Of glory and rush.

Her brows were sad, but her eye beneath Flashed like a falchion from its sheath. And like a silver clarion rung In accents of that unknown tongue — A test! In other rooms we saw the light Of happy faces, undimmed by fright. But for us some awful tortures shone. And from our lips escaped a groan — A testj Do try to pass! the teacher said, Dark looms the tempest o ' er your heads, Your marks are awful, -filrrible, bad; Again that teacher made us sad — A test! Oh wait, one girl said, let us rest Our weary heads before this test. No pity was in her bright blue eye. And still she said without a sigh — A test! Be sure your factors are on one line. Some pupil in this test must shine! This is our teacher ' s last advice ; Her voice still sounds as from the heights — A test! Thus in days that are cold and gray. Unsuspecting still we stay ; When from the sky, serene and far, This terror comes, like a falling star — A test! A. SopKomore ' s Midni Kt Spectre HAVE just returned from a Hallowe ' en party, tired and sleepy. The hands of the clock point to a quarter to twelve. How the wind whistles ! How inviting my bed looks; but to-morrow is Sophomore theme day and my theme is unwritten! But I am wasting time, and I must begin immediately. I wonder who invented themes. It must have been some very unkind mortal who wished to exterminate girls. This announcement met the eyes of the poor Sophomores a week ago: Sophomore theme: Something in Connection with Hallowe ' en. But as usual I have put it off to the eleventh hour, as most girls do. I suppose it would be easiest to write about the Hallowe ' en party; so the first thing is to decide upon a title. What was that mysterious noise? Only the wind. What a coward I am! An Exciting Evening does very well for a title; but as my theme will doubtless be commonplace I had better choose a com- monplace title, like A Hallowe ' en Party. We had such a splendid time at the real Hallowe ' en Party — (but isn ' t this theme- writing a sad postscript?). When we were going upstairs to leave our wraps, ghosts appeared from every direction, and the lights went out. What a race we had for the brightly lighted parlors ! I hear a step outside, a low, low step. My heart nearly stops beating. The door opens just as in ghost stories, without even a knock. Yes, mother, I am going to bed in a few minutes; and I return to the theme, eating the apple she brought me. Where was I? Oh! yes, we had just gone to the parlors. I thought I was nearly through. Well, we played all the Hallowe ' en games; then a wizard told us the story, in total darkness, about a dead man whose friend cut off his hand to get a ring from the little finger. When the story had advanced so far I felt something fall into my lap. It was a cold, clammy hand ! My stars! I feel a hand on my shoulder this very minute. It ' s a ghost in a white sheet! But Cousin Tom ' s feet betray him; and after calling him a mean, bad boy, I lock the door after him. But the ghost that I have just rid myself of is more welcome than the task that awaits me, this dreadful theme. To return to the party and that horrid hand! It thrills me to think of it now. The story having been completed, the most won- derful wizard told our fortunes. (What is that? Only a coal falling from the fire, but how it startled me!) After the party a ghost took each of us home. But how can I ever make a theme of that? Was there ever, ever such a plight? For a Sophomore, a Sophomore who has passed through the humiliations of a Fresh- man, not to know how, when or where to begin a theme is really distressing. Oh! Freshman, I warn you, as one become familiar with the ways of Ward Seminary, enjoy life while you may! When we were Freshmen, we were all happy; for we were not plagued with methods. For now the next thing to decide is by what method to write the theme. Contiguity, Cause and Effect, Anti- thesis or what? But oh! most dreadful of all — this must be remembered: Have the climax at the end. And in this case, how can it be done, when all the party was a climax — of fear! Oh! I can never do it, I know. Before I begin I will read a little to quiet my nerves. I pick up a book without examining the title. It is about a boy and his mother in a house alone, counting money f -om a chest, and hearing outside pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat. The Freshmen will understand I allude to Treasure Island. No, that will never do. Here is a book of poems, which is better. (Was that only the clock?) I open the book, and this is what I find: Clasp a rare and radiant maiden Whom the angels name Lenore, Quoth the Raven, nevermore. I simply cannot endure this agony any longer; so I am going to bed this very minute, and dream about ghosts, goblins, themes and zeros for Sophomores all night, theme or no theme.

Officers Lucy Wilkix Kirkp. trick - President Elizabeth Thompson Vice-President Elizabeth Hail , .........Secretary Elaine Jones Treasurer First Impressions of a FresHman WARD ! and a Freshman ! My ! what fun ! I enter the Chapel that first eventful morning with a feeling of awe, mixed with curiosity. The girls are making such a noise, as onlv girls can. The} ' are all talking at the same time, and very excitedly. Oh! future sttidents of Ward Seminary, I warn you to take out a life insurance policy before you venture within the Chapel doors on September 28th, for the girls rush wildly about; they are so glad to see their school-mates. I have rather a feeling of loneliness until some girl I have not seen all summer makes a dash for me with a thousand and one questions. I go up and sit at one of the desks and, full of curiosity, look around the Chapel. Some of the boarders are very lonesome look- ing. My heart goes out to one especially, who is sitting near me, and crying. I imagine all sorts of things about her in one short moment. But then my thoughts wander to the Faculty ; and I try to picture what they will look like. Will they be tall, stern and look forbidding? Will they ever remember that they were once girls, and really enjoved a bag of salted peanuts behind the teacher ' s back? Of com-se thev wear glasses; but a terrible thought comes to mv mind — will thev be of X-rav, so as to see right through a girl? ' But see! Miss Jennings appears, she stands before her desk, and taps that bell. All of the voices are hushed, but, perchance, one or two; and they are soon silent as Miss Jennings looks sternly over to their side of the Chapel. ■ Before I know it the members of the Faculty are actually appear- ing; the new girls (I among them) look with awe at this stately body. They are not so terrible looking. See! one actually smiles; one is really small! Altogether they look like mortals and not like beings of another world. They do not appear to have the X-ray glasses on either. I suppose they will reserve them for the class- room. A Mr. gives a long address ; but I am so busy thinking about and looking at the Faculty that I don ' t hear much of it. After the address, Miss Jennings announces that every girl must be present the next morning promptly at eight. Then she dis- misses the school and the first day is over, that day I had thought about so much. O! Senior students of Ward Seminary, shall I be disappointed with ' School life here, or will my highest expectations be fulfilled? First Freshman Class Colors: Purple and Green. Flower: Violet.

The structure of the building and its advantageous location is unequalled. It is situated on one of the most popular car lines in the city, and has the good fortune of being directly opposite to Vanderbilt University. This most desirable location gives to the Ward girls a rare opportunity for meeting the most aristocratic and high-bred young men from all parts of the United States. They are allowed to call on the girls any time between three in the afternoon and twelve at night, no exception being made to week nights. Social Life The directors and members of the Faculty advocate all social pleasures, and not only are the girls allowed to receive friends them- selves, but they are permitted to accept all invitations. Whenever any Ward girl gets a bid to a frat. dance, wjiich is a most frequent occurrence, she is urged to accept the kind hospitality offered her. The girls also enjoy many theater parties, buggy drives and expe- ditions to the Hippodrome during the scholastic term, and the principal of the school is careful to see that all courtesies are in turn repaid. It is a custom of the school to give an entertainment at least once a week, and to such functions each pupil is allowed to invite no less than five guests. As Wards has one of the best and largest ball rooms in the city, a dance is the favorite entertainment. SeminaiT- Building The Seminary building alone, aside from the life enjoyed within, would give it a world-wide reputation. It is one of the handsomest, most convenient and modem buildings in existence. It is a stone structure consisting of eight dormitories, each having every modem convenience. The first floor of the main building comprises a large reception hall, two drawing rooms, three living rooms, a very attrac- tive music room, an unusually large dining room and a well adapted ball room. The second floor of the main building is used exclu- sively for the study (?) hall (a room 120 X 60, carpeted in Brussels carpet), and the recitation rooms. The Chapel has one of the best stages in Nashville, and not only do the pupils of the school present pleasing little comedies (French and otherwise), but the Vendome and the Bijou often present here their most popular performances. The Chapel contains five hundred cushioned desks, and to each desk is attached an attractive waste basket in which the girls put all banana peelings and etc. that they wish to dispose of. A place is also provided for all rejected chewing gum. WorK The school hours are everything but long and tiresome. The managers of the school consider it unwise for the girls to be awakened before nine-thirty, and giving them an hour in which to adorn their graceful figures, and an hour to enjoy a good healthy breakfast, they begin school usually at eleven-thirty. An instructor is employed to teach the girls all the bright, catchy songs and hits of the season, and this lesson is given first place in the morning duties. The policy of the school is frivolous, easy work. In fact it is highly dis- approved of young girls ' health being virtually wrecked by late hours of study. The school duties are made pleasures and not bores. No girl is allowed to have more than two studies, and every instructor is careful to detect and highly disapprove of any exertion on the part of the pupil. The school hours are from eleven-thirty to one, with a recess of an hour, during which time a delightful six course luncheon is served. All during the day the young ladies engage in lively conversation — one aim of the institution is to cultivate the art of talking, in order that in after years no pupil of Ward Seminary can be accused of letting conversation drag. After school hours the young ladies are permitted to choose the way in which they are to spend the remainder of the afternoon and evening. Many often spend hours in the library, which contains every maga- zine and paper. Every copy of Puck and Judge published in the last ten years is at hand, to say nothing of Town Topics. One of the most helpful and elevating series in the library collection is that of Vogue, to which the girls are particularly partial. Dormitories The other buildings consist only of the girls ' private apartments. Each girl has a suite of rooms consisting of a boudoir, a bed room and a private bath. No room has less than nine electric lights — student lamps are positively prohibited. An individual maid is employed for every student, and is required to respond promptly to all calls of the electric bells or the telephone. The rooms are all elegantly furnished in mahogany or bird ' s-eye maple as the girl desires. AH necessary linen is provided by the school. It is altogether impossible to give, in so short a space, all the merits of the school, but satisfactory references can be furnished if desired. Those Little Girls in Blue Those little girls in blue, lads, Those little girls in blue ; Some have brothers and there are others Who own a cousin or two. But these things do not avail, lads. They ' re out of date at Ward ' s; You can only view those girls in blue From the safety distance affords. Those little girls in blue, lads, ' Those little girls in blue, In uniforms neat, when out on the street, They ' re a pretty sight for true. But when they have first arrived, lads, I ' ll tell you what they do; If you mention mother they ' ll look at each other, And then they ' ll all boo-hoo. But this stage is soon passed by, lads. There ' s many a reason why ; With lessons to learn, and honors to earn. And good times, they cease to cry ; And they ' ll tell you in years to come, lads. That the happiest time of their lives Was when they were scholars, spending pa ' s doUars, Learning to be good httle wives. Only a Dream i i ES indeed, why certainly they ' re to give us a reception. Didn ' t I we give the Seniors one last year? Indeed we did, and only finished paying for it this fall. Two Seniors had their heads very close together, and every other Senior that passed was stopped and asked if she didn ' t think the Juniors owed the Seniors a reception. All agreed that indeed it would be entirely out of the question for the Juniors not to give a reception, and a very fine one at that, to their departing school- mates. About twenty Seniors had gathered on the gallery, and it wasn ' t long before every girl had decided on the dress she was to have on the occasion of the very fine reception which the Juniors were surely going to give them in the spring. That night a very tired Senior retired at two A. M. after having tried to find the Wordsworthian touch in ten poems, memorizing ten or twelve other poems, and looking up thirty-two men for History of Art, not to mention four maps which she had prepared for her history class. Suddenly she found herself dressed in a beautiful white dress, with ribbons. After thinking a moment she realized that this was the dress she had planned to wear to the reception. In the same moment she seemed to remember that this was the day for the reception, and she ordered the carriage and was soon on her way. On arriving she was ushered in by a colored man in a dress suit who pointed the way to the dressing room. Wraps were every- where, all over the room, and she had some trouble in finding a place for hers. The most beautiful music she had ever heard sounded in her ears, and she was eager to go down, but first she must put some powder on her nose and comb up her hair. Before she was ready to go down, two teachers entered and began taking off their wraps. The one in pink with a large rose in her hair remarked, Receptions are more pleasant than teaching Physics — that music makes me want to dance — but oh, these French heels I have on! Indeed a reception is far more pleasant than teaching music lessons all day. How good it is to hear real music, sighed her companion as she stepped before a long mirror to admire her green silk dress and satin slippers. The Senior went slowly down the steps listening to the hum of voices. A tall teacher in a light blue princess dress stood near the door, and the Senior heard her remark, This hum of voices reminds me of the first period when I am trying to hear my small section of Senior history. The lesson is always very important, and the girls are so inconsiderate. When they will talk I take it as a personal insult— and I sometimes think they mean it as such. The Senior on hearing these words hurried away as quickly as she could, but before she realized where she was, another tall teacher in light blue and pink, seeming to forget herself, called in short, quick accents to a group of girls chatting across the room, Catch that girls — see what I mean? Oh dear, sighed the Senior, shall we never hear the end of these school expressions, and she slipped away to amuse herself elsewhere. She had hardly gone ten steps before she overheard another conversation. I hope every member of the Psychology Class will be able to remember well enough to tell the class how each dress here is made. Such a good opportunity for using those rules for the cultivation of the memory, a tall blonde was saying to a shorter blonde by her side, dressed in yellow, who wasn ' t paying the slightest attention for She was interested in the filling of a large frappe bowl. Tra-la-la, she sang in a clear soprano voice, Come, I think I ' ll get some frappe. So off they both walked, leaving the Senior alone. She wasn ' t long alone, however, for soon a Httle lady, dressed in lavendar, touched her arm, and with a foreign accent said, I ' m glad you have not missed this oppor-tunity for spending a pleasant afternoon. I think it will do you good, my child. Just then a Junior called them in to refreshments, and they went in to enjoy a bountiful supply of bananas and salted peanuts. The Senior noticed that the tall teacher in the light blue princess helped herself freely to the peanuts, and heard her say, You know I ' ve just learned to love peanuts in the last week or two. I ' ve had to take so many away from the girls, and I couldn ' t bear to see them wasted. The Senior laughed convulsively behind her handkerchief — choked — and — What an absurd dream! she gasped, starting up and rubbing her eyes, then laughingly added, A dream reception is better than A poet there was cleped Chaucer, The fynest you ever saw, sir; His spellin ' it was poor, ' Twas incorrect for sure, ' Till Roosevelt made it the law, sir.

CoacK Starr of Ward Seminary An- nounces Bright Prospect for Football Year. Lino-Up. Center Ross Right Guard Dr. Blanton Left Guard ilrs. Blanton Right Tackle Jaccard Left Tackle Sheppe . Quarter-back Thach Right Half Green Left Half Scruggs Fullback Jennings Right End Caldwell Left End Water Carrier Dr. Anderson Chief Linesman Miss Goodwin I am glad to inform the football enthus- iasts that the outlook for this year ' s football team is one of the best we have had for a long time, as there is some very good new material and almost all of the old stars are back again. Captain Jennings has already inspired her team with the importance of order and self control, and the team is beginning to im- prove under her careful enforcement of the rules. We are expecting great things from Captain Jennings, with whose wonderful kicking we are all familiar. The quarter-back, Thach, bids fair to be good on quarter-back runs, and I think she will run the team well, as she scans the line with a practiced eye and immediately detects any irregularity. In placing the team Green and Scruggs will be put in at right and left halfback, be- cause neither is a whole without the other. The Blantons are back at their old places, right and left guard — always on the watch. Sheppe and Jaccard will play right and left tackle, because neither w as ever known to let anyone pass. Caldwell will be at right end, but I have not decided who is to play left end yet. Ross, the new center, is a great ground gainer. She has been known to knock out five men at a time, and for endurance and stickability is a strong point in the line. The team practices from 8:31 to 2:15 five days in the week, and in spite of the seeming slaughter of their opponents, few lasting injuries are inflicted. Co. CH Starr. TKe S ard Query Box (Every effort will be made to answer all questions if received two weeks before Iris goes to press.) Wanderer — Is it at all advisable for a young man, fairly good looking, and of an agreeable nature, to pass the windows of Ward Seminary between twelve-forty-five and one-fifteen P. M.? We advise you to stay clear of such neighborhood at this time, for it is then the inmates of the Seminary indulge in a half hour recess, and every day many innocent young men of Nashville are way-laid in passing the building. They are not onh ' made to smile sweeth ' , and tip their hats to any unknown creature in recognition of a sweet bow, and a more fatal wink or smile, but lo, it is often hinted to the unfortunate creature, whosoever he may be, to make tracks to Mrs. Tony, only to spend there his hard-earned coin for chocolate creams, zu-zus, etc., and returning deposit them in the outstretched hands of her who is gracefully (?) balanced on the window sill. Oh. young men of such fate — beware, she is fooling thee. Eleanor Robertson — Would you be so kind as to tell me the cause of the uproar in the Senior Literature Class when I said Hood wrote the Tale of a Shirt? We fear you are hopeless. A Junior — What is a Psychology lesson ? The Seniors tell us it is an experience meeting. Zettc — In Literature I am troubled with the so-called malady — insomnia. Can you suggest a remedy? Try three minutes of pinches from your next door neighbor, taken until relieved. Trouble — What is to be most avoided in life? The Iris staff. Duck — Could you possibly tell all interested ones why Miss Sara FitzGerald Robertson never appears at school on Monday morning ? You show your ignorance by not knowing that the said Miss Robertson hasn ' t sufficiently recovered from the Fifty-seven Varieties of the dav before. The Ward Query Box Twenty-three — Define the term vegetarian? The name of Lois Ware is a good definition because it is an estabhshed truth she is extraordinarily fond of all Green things. Laura Butler— Did Leonardo da Vinci paint Botticelli ' s Spring? The Humane Society wishes your address. Inquisitive— Y hy did Dr. Blanton remove his mustache? To watch it grow out again. History of Art Class — Did Giorgione die of a broken heart or of the plague ? It is generally beheved that he died of a broken heart, but was he not then, as poor boys often are, plagued to death ? Slang — What does the expression a tight wad mean? The girl who doesn ' t subscribe for an Iris. Miss Green — What will one see in Antwerp? A lot of Rubens. Puzzle — Why was Wards ever estabhshed? Nobody knows the answer Nobodv ever will — Through this toilsome school, alas, Once, and only once, we pass; If a kindness we maj show. If a good deed we may do To our suffering sister friend, Let us do it when we can, Nor delay it, for ' tis plain We ' ll not pass through this again. Here ' s love and good wishes for the class, Gratitude and esteem for the faculty, A cheer for old Ward ' s, the White and Gold, And a sad farewell to all. THE 0man a Ololbg? 0f lalttmnr?
