To the Classes
The passing years bring in their wake
A line, both long and wide, Ot girls from o'er this nation dear
To their Alma Mater's side. The East, the West, the North and South Contribute full share to her roll.
See here what schoolgirl vanities, displayed in the mirror's face! A pleasing reflection, 'tis true, with ruffles and dainty lace; But the procession keeps on with relentless tread
Till the year rolls by.
And the time is nigh When she enters the Junior dominion with dread.
O. little maid, your curly hair
Will soon be braided up! And gone will be your doll and slate
For things you deem grow-n up.
The Junior, bent and dried and sear — A sight one's heart to rend —
Is burdened with study, a " P " her fear. To be a Senior her end.
A thousand duties, a score of studies.
The hours beguile away. The Freshman year, so soon begun.
Fades swiftly into that day When across the space of a three-months' wait She sees the Sophomore land.
We see her. upon nearer view, A spirit, yet a woman, too; .A. countenance in which did meet Sweet records, promises as sweet; A creature not too bright or good To sip from Cupid's immortal food.
TH E C LASS ES'
To the Junior Class
O, Junior Class, we're leaving now, 0, very bright your future leads
New trails henceforth to follow; To the door of the great Ward-Belmont;
But the Seniors' wish remember thou: But in your glory, the Senior pleads:
Forget not our Alma Mater. Forget not our Alma JIater.
In joy, in pleasure, and everything
(May sorrow be ever distant) In all the change that life may bring,
O, forget not our Alma Mater!

AS A SENIOR APPEARS
TO A PRIMARY,
TO HER TEACHER,
TO HERSELF-
The Sublimation of a Senior An Explanatory Exposition
'^[i /'AVING arrived on the scene of this world's 'I L activities, the small girl is the material in the rough, the crude elements out of which the perfect woman is made. For this process, years of growth and cultivation are necessary, supplemented by that careful training for which Ward Seminary is so justly celebrated. As soon as the subject's faculties begin to assert themselves, comes the knowledge that this perfection can be attained only through the train- ing at this institution.
Accordingly, at the tender age of seven, when she is most susceptible to learning and most capable of receiv- ing mental impressions, she is planted within the pri- marj' walls of Ward, under the guidance of that excel- lent trainer. Miss McD., where her restless hands and feet are made to obey her mind and the first tiny seeds of " reading, writing, and "rithmetic " are sown. So carefully are these first stages taken that the firmly planted bulbs of learning take root, and soon the devel- oping child finds herself in the second stage of gi-o%\'th.
This part of her development is made under the same general guidance as the preceding. One other factor, however, is added. She first begins to seek light in the hotbed of the school, the general assembly room^ or chapel, as it is sometimes called. There, by precept and example, is she taught the way in which she should go.
At this time there is much judicious pruning of all hab- its that are injurious or that would dwarf the culmina- tion of a perfect specimen, such as whispering and gig- gling. It has been found that if these habits remain unmolested they will cause trouble later on. All the most noted educators of this century agree in this.
Now comes one of the most important stages, the Freshman year, which needs careful watching and in- finite patience, for the yet crude forces seem at times obdurate beyond endurance. The formula, with which the tender green sprouts, seeking room in which to spread their increasing tendrils, are sprayed, is a com- pound of English, 45'yr ; Algebra, 57t- ; Latin, 20% ; History, 27%; and fresh air and sunshine, 3%. This mixture is applied daily in rather large, unbroken doses. Daily also is fresh dirt added.
The fourth year, or Sophomore period, is spent mainly jj^ close proximity to others. Some of the ob- noxious weeds observed at this time are classed under the general head of " Boys." Commonly kno^^^^ divi- sions of this head are dancing, clothes, and a general tendency to Fifth Avenue. The pruning knife may be used here with impunity, especially in a particularly hard case. The formula is practically the same, with perhaps the addition or substitution of 10% French. Algebra, being of less real value to the material devel-
opment of the student, is the substance usually omitted. Here it is that the unfolding petals first come in con- tact with that element called " spiking." Unless the subject is of hardy fiber, this contact somewhat retards its finest growth. This last-named element, though rare in most localities, is found in abundance in Ward Seminary, where it is seen at its best. It is hard and has a peculiarly brilliant luster. The foi'emost scentists of the day have found no way to combat it.
In the Junior stage, the subject, almost ready to burst into flower, is put through the rigid tests of the refinery, intercourse with the outside world, that she may know just what is expected of her the succeeding year. Although this tends to force the bloom, no harm follows. A liberal sprinkling of dictionary words (Webster's is an old and tried variety) curbs the fast- est development; and a few tests, applied monthly, or oftener if needed, will insure strict attention to detail work. It is during this period that the nearly ripe
product begins to recognize undue power by striving to loiter unnecessarily on the gallery ; and, having during all these years suffered the crush of the upper class- men's yoke of superiority, she, in turn, develops a slightly patronizing attitude toward undergraduates. This, however, soon passes away, leaving the chrysalis to emerge into the last stage of her growth.
0, the importance and prominence which is expe- rienced here! Only those fortunate ones like herself can sympathize with her. What meetings and discus- sions ! What lofty and impressionable ideals revealed ! All her faculties are constantly exercised. She is the observed of all observers. She is in the lime light al- ways, and invariably shows the result of her long years of training. The last refining, the last acid test, is given with the infliction of the " Iris." Those who sur- vive this test are indeed ready to be plucked, perfect blooms! Thus, and only thus, is achieved the Senior sublime.
This is the class, noisy, stiff-necked, and proud. Vain, simpering, very foolish, and loud. The reason z^-e stand them, x^'e z^ish to say. Is for the sake of the tea they g-ivc earlv in May.

ESOLVED, That ice cream should be served at 11: 30 every morning instead of serving the usual chapel exercises." (Affirmative.)
I. Introduction.
A.
1. Ice cream has always been served as
food and sustenance to the civilized races of mankind.
2. Ice cream consists of harmless and
nourishing ingredients, which the genealogists say cause it to be one of the most nen'e-inspiring and bluff- infusing foods catalogued. B. Chapel exercises and ice cream defined.
1. Chapel exercises, as partaken of at
Ward, consist of a few hymns gar- nished by a responsive reading, and a spicy talk dished out by Dr. Landrith.
2. Ice cream, as it would be served, would
consist of one dish, evenly appor- tioned, to every girl in chapel.
II. Immaterial Issues.
It is granted by all —
1. At this hour pupils need something to uplift and inspire them, and enthuse them with the incarnation of knowl-
edge, and should receive that which will benefit them most, physically, mentally, and morally.
III. Material Issues.
1. Ice cream is more beneficial than chapel exercises in three ways — namely, physically, mentally, and morally.
IV. Proof.
One of the famous poets has said, " Eat, drink, and be merry," and it is a very wise motto to follow.
A. Physically. 1. Ice cream can be calmly
eaten reposing in a seat, while chapel exercises require gjnnnastic perform- ances and standing straight through an entire hymn, thus unnecessarily causing more weariness to the already burdened and fatigued pupils.
B. Mentally. 1. The mind should be strong
and obtuse, even obdurate, in order to cope with and overcome the incom- parable and extenuating circum- stances, reaching the limit which the required course of study demands of all individuals who have the audacity to contemplate a course at Ward.
C. Morally. 1. Ice cream, as it would be served, would always be cool and of even temperature, whereas the talks dished out by Dr. Landrith are not al- ways cool or of even temperature. Thus the moral rectitude is adminis- tered unto and aided by cool ice cream. V. Conclusion.
1. Each girl will have her own appor- tioiied share of cool, refreshing ice cream, eaten while reclining in her
seat; whereas Dr. Landrith occasion- ally favors one girl with a large sup- ply of advice, sometimes heated, mixed with some sarcasm, and we all feel that too much of the delicacies is injurious.
Therefore we, of the affirmative side, hold, retain, argue, declare, and have proven to you that " ice cream should be served at 11 : 30 every morning instead of serving the usual chapel exercises."

A Period in Chapel JVhen Miss Jennings Is Out
♦«^-^ES, Miss Atchison, you may change your seat,
^L/ if the draft is too strong. Janey, she isn't in
0^ chapel. No, Sara, you may not use the tele- phone."
With these parting instructions. Miss Jennings left chapel to join the Juniors, who were organizing their class. It seemed as if Miss Jennings was going to for- get to repeat her usual admonition, " Girls, don't get noisy while I am gone; " but no, she had hardly reached the door, when she turned to impress it upon them doubly strong by referring to the Honor Guild and her little book.
For a moment the school was remarkably quiet ; then a sigh was heard, a groan, followed by these words:
" Honeybunch, please go up to Tony's for me. I am absolutely famished. Honestly, I don't believe I ever have been so long without something to eat."
" Not if I value my life! I never do have any luck; and just as sure as I start stealing up to Tony's, I'll meet Miss Massey or run across Mr. Schmidt. He al- days looks at you so hard. No, sir-ee! Not for mine! "
" O, well, I guess I'm doomed, unless that little Freshie can be persuaded to go ! Cutie, you're the most adorable child in school. Please run up to Tony's with this order. That's it! You are an angel ! "
The " cute little Freshi". " started out on her danger-
ous errand, and returned five minutes later, panting for breath and laden with ten bags of peanuts. For per- haps five minutes the famished bunch of girls was quiet, all being engaged in eating the salty nuts as fast as possible. Then a rather fat girl was heard to re- mark : " 0, me ! I never can get enough peanuts, but really I must stop and start on this French. Five pages to translate, and only one paragraph finished! What will become of me? "
" Goodness ! " exclaimed the girl across the aisle. " You are lots better off than I am. I translated a page last night; but, to save my soul, I can't remember one word of it. I certainly hope Mademoiselle asks me to translate on the first page, because I can make a stag- ger at that."
"Mary, Mary! What on earth are you doing? I never saw any one so perfectly absorbed in a book. It must be the ' Romance of Billy-Goat Hill ' that I lent you last night. What! Only Algebra? Honestly, Mary, you will be a saint some day. I worked on that last night an hour by the clock, and I couldn't get a single problem. Of course, I will admit, I talked a lit- tle, consumed a bag of Skalowski's caramels, and — yes, I did read the joke page of the Ladies' Home Journal, too."
"Janet, I am absolutely consumed with fear. A
Latin text next period, and I haven't opened a book! Heavens, look at that clock! 0, that reminds me! I knew I had something to tell you. I went " beaning " yesterday, and met Mr. Brown. Janet, that man is too attractive for words. ' Fascinating ' isn't in it. He is absolutely hypnotizing."
"Mr. Brown!" exclaimed a slim, red-haired girl. " George Brown? My dear, I'm crazy about him! "
" George Brown? " said a tall Senior, as she stuck her head into the circle. " My children, you don't know a thing. He is perfectly dull compared to that cute Mr. Hunt, who steals around here every night and talks to the girls in front of No. — "
Here the discussion would have become heated, had not one of the girls remembered that she had just loads of work to do.
" Helen," she said, as she drew away, " what will
become of us? Themes to write nearly every day, and just piles of other stuff besides! Just think — Miss Lawrence gave us a theme, two descriptions to write, ten pages of Rhetoric, an outline, and about fifty de- scriptive words to bring to class ! O, dear me ! I haven't gotten a line of any of it, and that clock is cer- tainly pointing to ten ! Say, Helen, what would you leave out? The theme? I just can't write, but I can make an excuse for that ; but those words — she will be sure to call on me for them ! I guess I will try and get those descriptions and take a chance on that Rhetoric work."
At ten minutes past, everything was quiet; for all were expecting Miss Jennings to come, and they knew too well about dictionary words to be behaving uproar- ously when she returned.
Cornelia Keeble ('15.)
This is the c/ass, forlorn and forsaken. That much trouble had when their pictures xuere taken ; Thev got mixed on the -place, they got mixed on the date. And all of them arrived there tzvo hours too late.

^■•^'I^EAR SARA: I want to tell you what a nice
jl / time I am having. Miss Lawrence and Sis-
*" ter Mary met me at the station. We came
straight to Ward. Ward is the funniest place. It is
very dirty here. The girls eat all the time. When they
don't eat, they say they are starving. While Mary says
her lessons, I stay in chapel. Sometimes I go with
Mary. In the middle of the day a whole lot of grown
ladies and two men come to chapel and sit on the stage.
I thought the.v wei'e all going to say a speech. But just
one man says anjiihing. One day he said that Ward
and Belmont, or something like that, were going to be
one school. I am going there when I get grown up.
Mary says she don't believe she likes it. Mary's room-
mate says she ain't going to come back. It's the most fun to go to Mary's Algebra class. You just oughter hear Miss Sheppe fuss. She sure can. One day I was sitting in chapel waiting for Mary. Miss Jennings saw a girl talk. She made the girl take a great big book. She made her learn lots of words — about fifty, I reckon. Every morning it nearly scares me to death. A great big old bell just rings and rings. You just have to get up. Let's you and me come to Ward when we get big. I ain't going to have any old flags in my room. The girls' rooms are most covered with them. Well, I have to go now. Good-by. Elizabeth.
P.S. — Don't you and Billy have any more fights. How is your sweetheart'? — E.

' I passed a beautiful garden, On the fairest ot days in June, Wtiere the sound of sweetest singing
Floated out in a gladsome tune. I heard there the gardener telling
All the flowei-s to upward grow — Violets sweet and lilies tall.
Which grew in a long, straight row. And surely 'tis a noble truth
The gardener's lesson holds; For the gardener was a woman. And the flowers were little souls."

WARD lSi;5-1913
History of IVard Seminary
Dr. William E. Ward was among the first men after the war to realize the need for schools, and he decided to open a school himself. After several years, Mr. Byrd Douglas loaned him money. Accordingly, the old Kirkiiian residence, whose rooms were well adapted to dor- mitory and study-hall purposes, was secured; and there, in 1865, Ward Seminary " opened her doors for the promulgation of higher education for young women of the South." There were so many students enrolled that in the following spring it was necessary to move, and the school was transferred to Spruce Street, where it stands to-day. The street was as quiet as a village then, out of the hurry and bustle, with no street cars, and, it is said, with no more disturbing midnight sound than the tramp of the guard on the road to Fort Neg- ley. But the soldier boys of yesterday may have been just as fascinating as the Vanderbilt boys of to-day. There were thirteen girls in the first graduating class, including Miss Mattie Barnard (Mrs. John Gray).
The Bryant residence on Spruce Street was a delightful place for a school. Immediately in front of the building was a large vacant lot. There were inpumerable trees; and the long, shaded walk is even now a refreshing memory to former students. However, Ward Seminary had an unconquerable habit of out- growing itself — a malady from which it has never re- covered. Soon the cry was made for room, more room ; and gradually the surrounding buildings were an- nexed. In the year 1870, according to Mr. Eaton, of the Educational Bureau at Washington, D. C, this school ranked third in the United States in numbers aiid in advantages offered. The foremost school was Packer Institute, Brooklyn; and the Convent of the Sacred Heart, California, held second place. The Sem- inary far surpassed all other schools in the number and quality of curly locks. Miss Lizzie Fort, who is now actively engaged in Ward alumnse work, gradu- ated at this time.
tit was not until the death of the dis- tinguished President in 1887 that Ward Alumnse Association was founded. The next April local graduates held a meeting, at which steps were taken for the organization, and circulars were sent to all the out-of-town gradu- ates. The association started in with the sum of one hundred dollars in the treasury. Where they got it, we are unable to say. The evening entertainment, which followed the founding, was to welcome the new graduating class. The parlors of the school were used for the occasion, and there the pretty custom, which is still kept up, of formally receiving the new members was begun. Miss Florence Fite (Mrs. Hayden Dodd) was among these twenty-four. It was probably fortu- nate that there were no more than twenty-four, for we fail to see how the stage could have held any more of the voluminous costumes then worn.
Dr. Ward's successors were Mr. J. T. Hancock and then Rev. E. H. Charles, D.D. Mrs. Mary H. Robertson was Principal of the Home Department dur- ing all three administrations. At Christ- mas of 1892, Dr. John Diell Blanton, whose name has been to a later Ward Seminary what Dr. Ward's name was to the former, and a part of whose work in the institution has been to keep alive in the hearts of the alumnse members the deep-seated loyalty they cherish for the founder, be- came President of the school. Just one year later Miss Bell Jennings assumed control of the chapel, in which office she has been all that could be desired. It was al- most ten years after the first meeting that the reorgan- ization of the Alumnse Association took place, when " Ward Seminary Day " was observed at the Tennes- see Centennial Exposition. Many, many gold-and- white badges were scattered through the audience. Miss Lelia Stetson (Mrs. Roger Smith) graduated the year Dr. Blanton began his administration.
During the lifetime of the first Presi- dent the school enjoyed holidays spent in the woods on his birthdays. When Dr. Blanton arrived, he did not give the same days as holidays ; but he gave them, nevertheless. Picnics at Craggie Hope and in the city parks were not un- usual. On the other hand, essays were not required of the Seniors as previously. One record says of an early class : " Commencement continued for three days, un- til each of the forty-seven girls of the class had read an essay prepared especially for the occasion." Per- haps Dr. Blanton did not think the Seniors could write essays any more, or perhaps he felt that their friends could no longer stay awake for three days. At this time was added a School of Expression, a School of Physical Culture, and a Home Economics Depart- ment. The accompanying picture is Miss Nell Fall (Mrs. Avery Handly), who is now president of the Alumnse Association.
During the last ten years Ward Semi- nary has by no means stood still. Ward Conservatory, with its numbers of voice, violin, and piano pupils, has been added on one side. Farther out, the old Mur- phy Place, with its secret passages and ghosts, was purchased, with the in- tention of moving the school out. There has been not enough room and too much noise and confusion on Spruce Street. Ward Place has been used for a dormi- tory for several years, the strongest and bravest girls venturing out. Dr. Ira Landrith became President of the institution last September; Dr. Blanton, Vice Presi- dent and President of the Faculty. However, the above-mentioned plan has been changed, or, rather, new plans have been formed, as our readers know. Therefore this Class of 1913, these thirty-seven girls, will be the last class — the last Seniors — to graduate from Ward Seminary. Miss Lillian Dobson is presi- dent of this class.

The bis
■^im^ HE very name, " iris," brings to our minds L ^S thoughts of beauty and gladness. Before Na- ^^"^ ture spreads her green carpet beneath the leafless trees, the little iris springs up, bringing with it beauty and fragrance. This little herald comes to announce to us, after months of wind and snow, the approach of bright and sunshiny days ; but its name- sake, " The Iris," is not a herald. Its voice will, in after years, speak to us from its musty leaves and re- mind us of all the pleasure and happiness that we, as pupils of Ward Seminary, but more especially as the Class of 1913, enjoyed at Ward.

The Great Revolution
■^i^^ HE great student revolution was on ! ^■^ With white, strained faces, the Faculty sat huddled together, awaiting the next dread summons before the august Council of Thirteen. Oc- casionally there penetrated from the chapel, where the students were gathered, a stormy clamor, demanding that this teacher or that teacher be placed next on trial for high crimes and misdemeanors.
" I don't see why we can't have 'em all in at once and just bunch 'em," penetrated one shrill, vicious voice. " What's the use of wasting so much time? I've got a date to go ' beaning ' at four o'clock."
" Me, too ! " cried a member of the Subf reshman Grammar Class. " I got to go to a matinee of ' Busy Izzy ' at the Bijou; and, believe me, I think we ought to ' make hay while the sun shines.' "
" Ain't it the truth! " came a sjTnpathetic murmur.
" Well, then," said another, " why not just have them all in and put them through the combined soror- ity initiations ? "
The listening teachers shuddered.
At that moment the door opened.
" Miss Scruggs ! " Janie's voice summoned.
A murmur of compassion vibrated the group as, tot- teringly, the beautiful young literature teacher rose to her feet.
" Yes," she whispered, with dry lips.
" They want you next," said the messenger.
One of the Faculty whispered to another ; " I knew they would have it out on her among the very first. It's some of those Rhetoric pupils."
Again the door closed; again the awful silence, the terror-stricken straining to hear, the gloom, lightened only by one eight-candle, low-power electric lamp.
Out of the clamorous shadows came the voice of Miss Jennings: " They are bad — just plain bad! There's no other word for it ! "
There was a grunt behind her.
" Nonsense! " said Miss Ross. " It's just a part of the degenerate up-side-down-ness of these modem times. Now in the days of Pericles — "
Miss McDonald made a gesture with her hands. " Well," she began, with decision, " nobody's asked my opinion, but — "
" It seems to me," said Dr. Blanton, pausing in his pacing up and dovm the floor, " that, with so many women here, some successful resistance might be made. What can four or five poor, helpless men do ? I remem- ber that back in the days when men were supreme in political authority and were the stronger vessels, it would have been deemed incredible that such a calam- ity could happen in our fair land — "
He stopped, chilled to silence by the cold, resentful glances leveled at him. From outside came the roar of a passing electric car, its gong clangorously opening a passage as the motorwoman banged her heel. It stopped an instant, and they could hear distinctly the soft, polite voice of the lady conductor urging a gen- tleman not to try to get off until she could precede and assist him. Then came the " honk " of an automobile, and through the blinds drifted the courteous tones of the chauffeur as she solicitously pleaded with a gen- tleman to go on across and not to be afraid; that she would not move the car an inch further until he was safely upon the opposite sidewalk.
The listening Faculty glared at Dr. Blanton.
"And you would have the human race go back to the darkness of old conditions?" asked one, frostily; and the Doctor, the politest and most kindly courteous man in the world, eagerly solicited pardon for his unfortu- nate recurrence to bygone and antiquated social condi- tions.
"All the same," came the quiet, deep voice of Dr. Landrith, " if I were just outside there and had a good horse under me, I wouldn't be afraid of any revolution- ary body, even boarding-school girls."
" Voire cheval," began Miss Herring, then whispered an inquiry to Mademoiselle Cuendet : " Voulez-vous give me the word for — "
"Je ne vous comprends pas," said the young French- woman, with a shrug; " je ne parle pas Anglais."
The door opened.
" Next! " said Janie. " Miss McDuffie! "
With a low, heartrending cry, the little gray lady staggered to the threshold.
" Tell me, Janie," she gasped, pleadingly. " What about Miss Scruggs? Did they — did they — " She could not speak further.
The stem-visaged monitor hesitated.
" I can't tell you anything. Miss McDuffie," she said, " for they'll catch up with me."
"Just tell me this," gasped the other: " is she alive? "
Janie yielded a little before the eager, burning eyes. The rest listened with frightened apprehension.
" She's alive all right," said Janie, " but — "
Her kind face looked sjinpathetically at the little sea of white faces. She heaved a deep breath; then, al- most closing the door, she whispered : " But she's got to read Chaucer's ' Canterbury Tales,' Spenser's ' Faerie Queen,' and ' Harold the Last of the Saxon Kings ' between now and to-morrow morning."
There was silence an instant. The little group, with senses stunned, was unable to voice its terror and hor- ror at this last intelligence. Then there was a low, soft thud as Miss Morrison fell senseless from her chair.
In a moment Mrs. Blanton had raised her head. " Water," she said to Janie, " a glass of water! "
Janie shook her head. " I'm sorry, Mrs. Blanton," she said, " but you know water for drinking purposes is no longer permitted by the council. I can get her some Coca-Cola or some soda pop, but that's all. I believe, though, that John is making a couple of barrels of choc- olate nut sundffi, and perhaps that — "
"Never mind," said Miss Morrison, faintly; "I'm better now."
" Perhaps," said Mr. Neth, gallantly, " a little fresh air now — "
He moved resolutely toward one of the windows, but was halted by a general murmur of alarm.
" Have you forgotten," said Miss Tennant, sharply, " that teachers are not allowed to go to the windows? "
" Next! " came from the doorway. " Miss Smaill! "
The Expression teacher crossed the floor, and (low be it spoken, girls!) she was very much out of poise. She glanced about her, then elevated her chest and took a deep breath. An instant later she had disap- peared through the dread portal.
" 0-0-0 !" moaned Miss Sheppe, as her body shook with sobs. " Why — 0, why? — did I give so many ' P's " in grading? If I come out of this alive, never, never will I give another! "
" You should have thought of that before," said Miss Massey, sternly. "As for me, this has been a lesson, and I'll never again mark any poor girl anjrthing but ' E.' "
Again the door opened, and then again and again. At last every member of the Faculty had been sum- moned before the dread council — all, save one.
Mrs. Blanton was left alone !
In the presence of the others she had kept up a brave, stiff upper lip, inspiring all by her example of smiling courage. Now, however, she became a prey to her fears. With dread she recalled the permissions she had refused to grant, the reprimands for offenses against school rules. She recalled with a chill of de- spair that the council before which she was to appear was made up almost entirely of students who had at some time been required to keep study hall or had been chided for not wearing their uniforms when appearing in public.
Shudderingly she listened as footsteps sounded in
the hall without. Then there were riiore footsteps. Now they seemed to swell into the tramp of an army. Above this noise arose the sound of chattering voices and merry laughter.
She cowered into a corner. " They are coming for me en masse.' " she whispered. " For what? " Then a dreadful conjecture struck through her tortured brain. " 0, no," she whispered. " They coidd not do that; they would not be so heartlessly cruel! "
For of a sudden, like a bolt out of the blue, the awful thought had come to her that they were going to make her wear one of the new spring uniform hats.
"Anything but that," gasped the poor lady — " any- thing! " She wrung her hands. " I just eo!(W not bear that! I'll agree to anything else — compromise on any- thing ! "
The noise of footsteps swelled louder. Meeting this came a stream of girlish voices from the chapel.
"0, it's the Vanderbilt boys coming to tea!" she heard. " 0, how perfectly lovely! "
Then, as she all but swooned, a hand fell upon her shoulder and shook vigorously. She knew that her hour had come.
The hand was still shaking, but it was against my own shoulder.
" Here, wake up, you silly! " I heard my roommate say. " If you want any brealcfast, you'll have to hurry. Don't you hear the girls going downstairs? "
I sat up, rubbing my eyes.
" You must have been dreaming," said my roornmate, laughing.
I smiled feebly. It seemed likely that I had.

Everyday Life
SCENE I. Twelve girls on a corner of the gallery engaged in an animated discussion. Miss Jen- nings enters, and a hushed expectancy falls over the gay crowd.
Miss Jennings: " Well, girls, is this a social of some kind, or merely an indignation meeting? None of you had permission from me to loiter, and I don't understand this at all. Go right to the chapel ! "
Scene II. The Chapel. Twelve girls bent industri- ously over their books.
Miss J. (from her seat on the platform) : " Kath- lene, come to me! "
Kathlene advances, with very evident reluctance, to the platform, and, pulling up a chair, seats herself at Miss J.'s side.
Miss J. : " Well, Kathlene, can you explain your con- duct? No, not a H'orc/.' Your conduct explains itself ! "
Kathlene : " But, Miss Jennings — "
Miss J. : " That will do. I said ' not a word.' Take twenty dictionary words, and be glad to escape so lightly. You may go. No, I've changed my mind. Take forty words, for this is the second time you have misbehaved this week."
Kathlene sighs, but realizes that ' such is life ' in Ward Seminary.
Miss J.: " Mary, come here! I didn't think this of you, Mary; for I've always looked upon you as one of my best girls. I'm finding out about quite a few of you girls. None of you have any moral character left, and I'm losing all my respect for you. Have j'ou any- thing to say? "
Mary (very downcast and penitent) : " Miss Jen- nings, I just went to wash my hands, and had to wait for several other girls to finish."
Miss J. : "A very poor excuse! Never let this occur again ! You may go to your seat and sit there for the rest of the period."
Mary retires.
Miss J. (addressing the whole school) : " Young la- dies, I am getting up a dictionary class for the benefit of some of the girls ; and unless you want to join it, you had better get down to good, steady work. Now, re- member, girls, you who are on the Self-Regulating Guild, your deportment counts a great deal, and I wouldn't like to see you taken off the roll. I have a list of some girls of whom I am very doubtful, and unless their behavior shows a marked improvement — well, I won't say what will happen. You know, girls, there can be subtraction as well as addition."

A Visit to the Man in the Moon
■^m^ HE divan on which I was lying was very com- \^^ fortable and a favorite place of mine, where ^^"^ I often went to write themes. I was looking through the window, and my old friend, the moon, was doing his best to make fairyland of earth. While I looked (would you believe it?), the man in the moon winked at me. I never knew him to flirt before, al- though I had given him many opportunities. He next smiled and said: " Why don't you come up? "
" I wish I could," I said.
Just then the softest white cloud imaginable floated to my window. I lighted on its back, and before you could say "Jack Robinson," I was knocking at the cas- tle door of Mr. Moon.
At first he teased me and would not open the door. I was almost ready to cry, when two little moonbeams, with silver caps, knee trousers, and flowing capes, threw back two huge, shining doors set with stars. "Welcome to his royal palace!" sounded from hun- dreds of voices.
There, in truth, was he whom I had so long admired at a distance. Slowly he descended the steps of his throne room, and the little page moonbeams parted right and left, bowing before him. His trailing, kingly robes were held by two of the brightest. To a third
he gave his crown, and offered me his arm to conduct me in person through this wonderful moon castle. In the distance a chime of silver bells rang out.
" What can that be, Mr. Moon? "
" Why, school, of course. If you care, come to our seminary and see the girls at work."
My wondering eyes grew larger when the door opened on this moon chapel. The first classes were be- ing called. Miss Manier arose, with much dignity, say- ing : " Before passing to the recitation rooms, I wish Miss Jennings and Miss Lawrence to report to my desk at once. I understand they have been to Venus' bakery and bought angel food and divinity fudge without Mars' permission. The day pupils will please not go to the corner for the boarders." She then continued : "A lecture will be given in chapel to-morrow by Miss Henrietta Lindsley, which all must attend."
After this, Miss Manier dismissed classes, calling Rows 1, 2, 3, etc., striking her little silver bell as the students arose.
We went to the Music room. Miss Johnson was do- ing her best to bring Dr. Landrith's tenor to harmonize with Dr. Blanton's deep bass. Miss Ross' high soprano and Miss Scruggs' contralto were in entirely diff'erent keys.
Miss Johnson exclaimed : " Now, young ladies and gentlemen, this inattention and indifference is so dis- couraging that we will give up this quartet for com- mencement, and you must report to Miss Manier un- less you greatly improve."
Feeling sorry for the culprits, we quietly slipped into Miss Harriet Overton's room.
" To-morrow is theme day," said Miss Overton. " Miss Thach will have for her subject ' The Telephone System in Ancient Rome : ' Miss Sheppe, ' The Fourth Dimension ; ' Miss McDuffie, ' Woman Franchise.' "
In another room Miss Martha Lindsey had her Eng- lish class.
" Mademoiselle Sansot and Fraulein Reincken," said Miss Lindsey. " You know we tie a horse to a tree to make him fast, and then you also beat him to make him go fast. A board is a body of men who rule, and from a board we can also make a rule."
" 0, I was enjoying seeing my former taskmasters pulling up the same hills that I had climbed. I laughed aloud, jumped — and there was the moon smiling down at me. Margaret E. Morrow ('15).
After Pope
■ "J^ T was a dire calamity, disastrous, and almost fa- ll tal to the one concerned. She had left them right there on the dresser; but now they were gone, and no amount of scolding would bring them back. Ten minutes until tea! What would she do? She had looked for them in every nook and corner of the room, but her search had been fruitless.
The tea bell now has rung. She is desperate, raging like an infuriated tigress; but the guilty persons will not appease her by bringing forth the hidden treasures. She swears vengeance, and falls exhausted on her bed, while the other girls trip gayly down the steps to the dining room.
Soon there comes a light tap at the door, and a sweet voice says, very tenderly: '* Well, Elizabeth, why were you not down to tea? "
" 0, Mrs. Blanton," she chokingly sobs, " some one has hidden my switches ! "
Thus was published at Ward " The Rape of the Locks," but the culprits were never discovered.

Society Column
^^^K N event of great interest to the Athens of the _A\ South is the marriage of Ward and Bel- mont, which will unite two Nashville fami- lies famous in the educational world. When the ap- proaching marriage was rumored, it was received with no less surprise than ancient Verona felt at the love of a Montague for a Capulet. There has been for a long time great rivalry between the two houses; but now the followers of the Bro^\^l and the friends of the White and Gold realize that the marriage will bring increased prosperity to both parties, and that when the minister says, " Has any one here a just reason that this mar- riage should not take place? " no voice will be raised in protest.
The marriage will take place in the early fall. Al- though the details are not known, the following items are gleaned : The bride's dress will be a creation in white and gold, with her bouquet of iris, while the groom will wear brown. Dr. Ira Landrith will per- form the ceremony, and Dr. J. D. Blanton will give the bride away. The maid of honor will be one who has been the belle of Ward for some time. Miss Jennings.
The first and second bridesmaids will be Miss Hood and Miss Heron, and petite Misses Thach and Morrison will be the flower girls. Beautiful music will be a fea- ture of the occasion, and a chorus will be led by Mr. Charles Washburn; while Herr Fritz Schmitz, a very famous violinist of Nashville, will play a solo.
The bride to be, a very popular Southerner, has al- read}' received many congratulations and gifts from all parts of the country. Among the most interesting and beautiful of the gifts is the magnificent estate of Bel- mont, where the young couple will make their future home. It was given by the business associates of her father. The buildings are reproductions of an Italian villa, with a park beautified by a lake, fountains, and shrubbery. Even now the buildings are being en- larged, remodeled, and perfected, with every modem comfort and convenience installed. A splendid corps of caretakers will be selected to aid in the care and direc- tion of the large estate. The bride and groom's most ardent wish is that their old friends, as well as many new ones, will visit them during the coming winter. LiLLiE Morrow Atchison ('15).

Sociological Philosophic Association for the Discussion of Philanthropic Topics
-^fc»' HIS club was founded in the year nineteen thir- ^^ teen, under the auspices of the Right Hon- ^^"^ orable John Diell Blanton. The primary pur- pose of this august association is as aforesaid in the seaquidepal title. This association of " tantamount rights for ladies " has been the occasion of much au- maturgical discussion among the zetetic nonbelonging members of the Guild. Although mere j'ounkers of this ultramundane Seminary, these vicarious members have very intellectual physiognomies and quizzical fac- ulties of brain matter.
Professor Anna Treadwell Blanton, bearing the in- signia of " General," is truly illustrated above as re- lieving the fence of Miss Jane Eve Buckner, Miss Kate Savage, and Miss Mary Mitchell Clay by debates and more violent modes of persuasion, assisted by Miss Frances Clay. Miss Elizabeth Cushman and Miss Elizabeth Crenshavi' are vjvidly portrayed on the oppo- site side of the fence, with their negative ideas of no votes for women.

Where the Southern sunlight glistens
On the sweet magnolia trees, And many a snowy chalice
Flings its fragrance to the breeze.
Across the fields of cotton, We're longing, not for splendor.
With their blooms of pink and white. Nor for mansion's gilded dome;
We can hear the sweet birds singing But for sun-kissed Louisiana,
In the gently fading light. For the State we call our home.

Mars, the Roman god of war, called "Ares " by the Greeks and " Blanton " in the modern English tongue. He was a fierce and terrible god, who delighted in the rush and noise of battle, and from him no kindnesses were ever expected. Mars was greatly feared, and human sacrifices were sometimes offered on his altar.
Juno, called " Hera " by the Greeks and "Jennings " by the English, was queen of the gods. The life of the queen was not represented by poets as an exceedingly happy one, for she had many trials to vex her. Much of her time was of necessity spent in devising punish- ments for mortal beings. The goose, the cuckoo, and the peacock were sacred to her.

Ward Examinations Are Over. 'But Are the Girls Over?
^Perfectly Good Men Put in Appearance at the Cotillion Club Dance. H^edding Invitations Are Very, Very Interesting
J'Vard Notes — Selected from the Tennessean and American
Saturday night was one Big Night — capital B. The Cotillion Club had a regular, really, truly dance, with an orchestra, shaded lighte, frappe, and everything, except men. But the girls made perfectly good men in their stiil shirts, high collars, and mustaches. And no one would ever have guessed (thanks to the very efficient Decoration Committee) that the big room, softly lighted, softly scented, softly musical, was nothing in the world but the old gym. masquerading. Sev- eral guests from the outside world added to the pleasure and helped to make this one of the events of the year. We're hoping that the pictures Mr. Wiles took will be good.
Query: How do men carry their pumps wQen they are on their way to dances? One masculine (?) member of the Cotillion Club strolled in with her pumps in a most gor- geous pink satin slipper bag; another carried hers carefully wrapped in the comic section of a Sunday Tennessean and American; while a third, disdaining these feminine tactics, ar- rived with the black satin toes of her slip- pers sticking out of her coat pocket.
The names of the girls on the Self-Govern- ment Guild have been read out, announced, and posted. They are supposed to be the cream of the entire school body. We, edi- torially speaking (Ward Place), have never particularly cared for the name "Guild;" but, perhaps, the fortunate few in it will be so superlatively all that they are supposed
to be that the name will be — well, sub- merged.
The Ryman Auditorium was certainly dressed up in its best bib and tucker for the festivities Monday. The Governor of Ten- nessee was properly inaugurated, for the Ward girls were among those present to see it well done. They formed a long line, if not an extraordinarily impressive one be- cause of its motley array. There were girls in uniforms and girls in sweaters: there -were girls in fur coats and girls in slickers; there were day pupils and boarders. By the way, what is the correct inaugural costume?
Exams, are over. Whether we are over or not remains to be seen. At any rate, we are beginning to breathe regularly again. Exams, are enough to knock the breath out of the best athlete. We've decided they are a peculiar and painful form of punishment that ought to have been abolished along with the pillory and torture racks.
The circus was not " pulled off " in the big tent as announced last Tuesday, for the per- fectly good reason that the weather man ivouhl let it rain. However, it happened in Study Hall, and was truly exciting, with clowns, juvenile ballet dancers, tight-rope walkers, a performing monkey that stood on her — no, its — head, and a giraffe, a char- iot race, a balloon ascension, a band, peanuts and pink lemonade, and " then some." At last came the climax — a take off on the mem-
bers of the faculty. They were all so well done that nobody was unrecognized. If the teachers didn't care to see themselves as others saw them, they were too polite to say so.
Permission — and tickets — to see " The Trail of the LiOnesome Pine " have been given to all Ward girls soliciting such per- mission and such tickets. But, as we aren't going until Thursday night, and as the Tennessean and American insists on having " Notes " in by Thursday noon, we really cannot say, "What a good time we had!" However, on the strength of the book and of our pocketbook, we have invested in the very same kind of lucky stones that June has. They are fascinating things to ■wear around one's neck.
Riley Jarrett. who has been the friend and foe (but more often the friend) of every Ward girl for the past twenty-five years, in the capacity of house boy, butler, package carrier, and ringer of rising bells, has left to take a job with the Y. W. C. A.
Miss Gattinger took some of the girls of her art class to a large printing ofSce a few days ago to be instructed in book binding, etc. Calling cards, announcement cards, invitation cards, etc., were duly inspected; but when the wedding invitations were brought out, they were enthusiastically in- spected. Now the rest of the art class wants to go to that printing company.
Ward Sonsrs
We want to be, we want to be, we want to be right back at Ward, Where the girls are always glad to be, at dear old Ward, in Tennessee. You ought to see, you ought to see, you ought to see our home next year. You can tell the world we are going to W-A-R-D — we know how to spell it; And we're going — O, yes, we're going TO WARD, IN TENNESSEE!
Oopla, oopla, oopla, aery!
We're the girls of Ward Seminary!
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!
ward:
We're coming, we're coming ("Old Black Joe").
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the girls are coming (" Tramp ")
To Ward. Ward, from everywhere.
Soon we will be moving to our home out on Church Street ("John Brown's Body ") ;
Soon we will be near to you, dear old 'Vanderbilt.
For we all come here to the land of cotton (" Dixie ") ;
Good times here are not forgotten.
Come to Ward, come to Ward,
Come to Ward, come to —
'Way down upon the Cumberland River (" Suwanee River")
Alma Mater Stands.
For there's no place like Ward, girls ("Home, Sweet Home").
For we're the happiest ducks in town ("Yankee Doodle"),
Because we come from Ward, Ward.

Appreciation and Anticipation
W
kARD SEMINARY was not born to die.
Just when niiser Mars had sated his greed for both Southern blood and treasure, and when, the flower of her manhood slain, the South had not where to train the flower of her young maidenhood, Ward Seminary for Young Ladies was conceived and begun by the great-souled man and woman whose name the school immortalizes and will forever honor. Through many a year of beautiful devotion Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Ward wrought themselves into the fine, high character of the young woinen and girls of Nash- ville and the Southland until God took the workers and» blessed with eternal life their work.
Then came others to the leadership, others who did what they could, and left the work in 1892 to be com- pleted by those who have proved to be the very elect of the Lord for the task tremendous. For two toilsome decades of sacrifice and service, and amid difficulties so numerous and so great that, before them, the less true and stout-hearted would have quailed and quit. Dr. and Mrs. John Diell Blanton carried on and out and up the cause of Christian culture for young women, winning the confidence of everybody the while. Pat- rons believed in them because of the womanhood into which girlhood was helped by them to grow ; the com- munity's faith was complete because the more-than-acid
test of twenty years had discovered no sham and no lack of sincerity and integrity ; and educators gave their allegiance because the President and his wife made no extravagant claim which the school could not meet, and because the things which the school an- nounced that it could do were done so well that higher institutions of learning could accept it with no fear of having to undo it or to do it over.
What a story, fully written,' would be the forty-eight years of Ward Seminary's ministry, and of the share these four powerful personalities had in this minis- try— Dr. and Mrs. Ward, whose labors have ended in the Master's " Well done," and Dr. and Mrs. Blanton, whose contribution to the four-square education of young women, we all pray, may be only just fairly be- gun ! Men and women nowadays are being valued at their true worth to other people, and not by any arti- ficial commercial tables of weights and measures. What a man is in dependableness, and what he does in un- selfishness, and what he prepares and inspires others to do in ways that are good and lofty and great — this is the true present-day test of greatness ; and by that test we are dwelling here on the names of the really great, and thousands of women all over the land will confirm this judgment.
But there are others of whom we ara thinking with
loving-kindness as we approach Wai'd's first " moving day " for more than a generation — teachers true and self-forgetting, who threw in the best they had of tal- ents and toil that the treasury of good work done hei-e might be filled. How much Ward Seminary and her daughters dear owe to these great teachers, some of the first and most deserving of whom have remained ! It cannot be thought invidious if the name of Miss Bell Jennings is inscribed here as representative of all the rest of the best. God grant a cloudless afternoon and glorious eventide to the beautiful day throughout the heat and burden of which she has been a benediction to us all.
" Old Ward Seminary," giizzled old pile, thou hast well fulfilled thy mission ; yet we turn away from thee with a sigh, even though we go to a new and larger and lovelier home, and to dwell and labor with friends as faithful as the old ones have been, and to enter upon a career in all ways greater than could ever have been possible in our - now commerce-crowded and urban- invaded dwelling place. Sorrows and .ioys alike have sanctified these halls and rooms. Success and failure have striven together here, and success has won. Out from here to the real greatness of usefulness, multitudes have marched into, and many of them through, the world's larger life toward eternity's full existence. The
daughters, and in later years the granddaughters, of Ward's earlier students have come to the same scenes hallowed in the memory of their mothers. It is not easy to abandon the old, old home. It would not be creditable to us if it were easy. Those of us who have lived a while beyond the impetuosity and quick deci- sions of youth have been rather pleased than otherwise with the disappointments which students in both schools at first suffered over the changes, even though every change plainly presaged improvement and uni- versal advantage. Time has already healed these hurts, and we shall forget in our growing love for the better new our natural melancholy over surrendering the cherished, but outgrown, old home.
Buildings, old or new, are but the temporal bodies for the indwelling of the spirit, which is the real school. Into Ward-Belmont enters to live forever this eternal personality which we call "Ward Seminary;'^ and with Ward Seminary into Ward-Belmont will go not only many of the people who helped the school to great- ness, but also the faith and loyalty of evety worthy daughter and of every genuine friend Ward has on earth; for on September 25^ 1913, Ward-Belmont will open the forty-ninth year of Ward Seminary for Young- Ladies.

Music is one of the fine arts; to express
it, your piano must be a work of art.
Why attempt musical expression without a piano that responds to your every mood and feeling?
STARR PIANOS are works of art, conceived in an atmosphere of art; wrought by artist workmen — owned and loved by the leading musicians of the world.
