T he Class Song .A........................ - .......................r.............. Beecher THE IRIS Of all the groups of flowers found in both the cultivated and wild forms, the Iris is perhaps the most truly democratic and yet the most dignified. The word Iris is the Greek for defied rainbow or robe of many colors and is certainly no misnomer when applied to the Blue Flag or Fleurfdeflis which is the most common of the family. It shows a fine, appreciation in variety of tgue colors, texture and beauty of blossom. The Fluer' deflis which is the flower of chivalry, says Ruskin, has a sword for its leaf and a lily for its heart . , The longest cultivated of all flowers is the Japanese Iris which flourishes in Eastern Sif beria and Japan. The colors of this particuf lar member of the family- run mostly from white through the purples to the most un' usual and yet the most astounding of all, the Black Jap. When the young and pious Cru' sader, Louis VII, adopted it for the emblem of his house, spelling was scarcely an exact science, and the Fleur-de-lis soon became corf rupted to its present form. Doubtless this Royal flower was the white or black Iris but since li is the Celtic for white there is still room for another theory as to the origin of the name. But let us not ponder on the name and the flower itself, let us rather investigate its significance in mythology for this is what its sight and name convey to us. I If we retrace our steps in literature to the works of Homer, we find Iris represented as the messenger of the gods, the attendant of Juno and the mediator between God and man. The Ancients looked upon .her as the guide and an adviser, They believed that the rainbow, the brilliant trail left in the sky by her many colored robe, was her sign. It was Iris, they believed who charged the clouds with water from the lakes and riverg and when her bow appeared, they welcomed it as a sign of rain to quicken their crops, and they saw in its splendor the reflection of her presence.
