Class of x27;80 quot;To the lovers of college traditions it will be a sad day when some new college generation shall scorn GLEE and cast it into the pile of ever growing discarded college traditions/ x27; Robert Moulton Gatke, Ph.D. 1942 ,,. Introduced By die cCass of neo lt;As a stxctaC tribute to tfie 6 annuaC ** Fresnman Qfcee ** * 5bart lt;s Center 3Aarch Ztti, mi x27;Wm-s j The Class of 1980 would like to dedicate the FRESHMAN GLEE OF 1977 to the Japanese Exchange Students on the Willamette Campus. Having recently arrived from the International College of Commerce and Economics near Tokyo, Japan, the students are studying courses in an American Studies Program while enrolled here at Willamette. As our honored guests and new friends, we would like to take this opportunity to welcome these students to our campus and especially, Willamette x27;s annual GLEE tradition HISTORY FRESHMAN GLEE began in 1909 when a challenge by the class of 1912 was issued to the other classes to meet them in a song competition. The first GLEE was held in the Chapel of Waller Hall. Soon, FRESHMAN GLEE grew in popularity and size and was moved into the First Methodist Church. As time progressed, Glee grew even larger and was performed in the Salem Armory. Upon completion of the old Willamette Gym (today x27;s Playhouse), GLEE was once again moved into this quot;new quot; facility to accommodate an ever-growing crowd. Since 1975, FRESHMAN GLEE has been held in the Cone Field House of Spark x27;s Center. FRESHMAN GLEE originally was a simple presentation of songs on a bare stage. Over the years, elaborate sets, marching and complex formations developed as a GLEE tradition. Today, these are essential parts of each class x27; performance. FRESHMAN GLEE rules, as developed by students over the years, are simple, yet important to GLEE as a whole. They are: a) any member of a class may participate b) all songs must be original, both in lyrics and text c) no instrument, other than piano, may be used d) no solos by any member of the class quot;FRESHMAN GLEE is, quot; according to the Wallulah of 1912, quot;an event belonging distinctly to Willamette. No other college in the Northwest, and as far as known, no other college in the country has a similar contest. quot; OFFICIAL GLEE JUDGES OF 1977 WORDS AND MUSIC: Dr. Melvin Geist, Dr. David Welch and David Hjelt VOCAL RENDITION: Dr. Paul Trueblood, William Tweedy and Roger Kirchner FORMATIONS: Ivan Novikoff, Cobe Grabenhorst, Jr. and J.

The sunlight for us lies in the memories of our four years at Willamette, the arch of our experience. We walk unafraid with these memories which never fade away. quot;Picturebook Dreams quot; Words and Music by Thomas R. Spivey and Andrew J. Gregg A.E.K.D.B. When I x27;m feeling lonely and the rain on the window is running down I open my picturebook, dusty and torn and let myself fly With dreams gone by The sun was still shining then, stormclouds and heartbreaks still far out of sight The faces and places long gone, Time washed them away Like waves on the beach so far out of reach. Those crazy old dreams we shared, we thought they would never come true The plans and promises, broken and kept now lost in the years Between laughs and tears The times we had together, now all I have are photographs Fragments of different lives scattered like leaves But they never grow old, always mine to hold. CHORUS Ahh PICTUREBOOK DREAMS reliving my life on many a Rainy Day. now I know what It means to have loved and to have lost. Still I keep holding on My yesterdays have all gone by . INTERLUDE My mind is a gallery, Portraits of times out of my past Vividly capture those long ago days Pictures of you and me Our time was still coming then, shaping our lives with Daydreams and Plans Emotions and Notions swirled in my head Some set us free, but they took you from me. I remember thinking long ago; that I x27;d never, never be growing old So I asked all of you, and you agreed in songs we x27;d sung at heart we x27;re young So while we x27;re still gatherejd here sunshine and blue sky surround us above Come, take my hand together we x27;ll slip Back into my PICTUREBOOK DREAMS. CHORUS Ahh PICTUREBOOK DREAMS Memories captured to hold in my hands for a while Now I know what it means to see faces and places Now lost to the world But they are still here with me. NOTES A photograph album, or quot;picturebook quot; as we have called it, holds memories of all kinds. Leafing through the pages, you may go back in time to see friends and places that remain in the past. Musically, the Interlude allows the listener to reflect on personal memories as the keyboards play. For us, the picturebook represents the breakwater for the waves that lap upon our lives. And for every new thing we take into our lives, we must also leave something behind. Andrew J. Gregg Valentine x27;s Day 1977 quot;Passing Time quot; By Ellen Baldwin and Benjie Bradford Sitting at home alone, turning back the hands of time. Letting the memories of your yesterdays float through your mind Remembering that you had so much time dreaming of the person to be. And the things you wanted to do, yet, Time passed so slowly. Ahh today your dreams aren x27;t so many and the time that once passed slowly, is now speeding right on by. The world you want to conquer is still turning. You realize that you x27;re not the person you wanted to be, but you x27;re still going to make it through. One day, many tomorrows from now, when our dreams have been fulfilled, we x27;ll sit and recall the hopes of our yesteryears. Not seeing what we want to see, wanting to do it again, our hopes and dreams of the past subside as tomorrow becomes yesterday, and yesterday is no more. Be all the things you want to be. Let yourself be young and free, for life is youthful and so are we. The enemy we fight is not ourselves, but the moving of eternity. NOTES Time, the least understood dimension of which neither We are but shadows passing through an endless beginning nor end has been found. corridor never to return. Ellen Baldwin quot;Collected Memories quot; By Michael G. O x27;Brien Mother Nature she sent me here With only the shirt on my back And though memories of the quot;good times quot; haunt me I can never go on back to where I x27;ve come from. Trailing down from Older Rivers Sailing down to Golden Rivers And you know, I x27;ll keep traveling forever, And you know, I x27;ll keep traveling forever. Dream Let x27;s look at our lives Let x27;s travel the skies And Live If I had a wish, you know what I x27;d do? I x27;d save up all the rest of my days And spend my whole life with you. But you x27;re so far away. You x27;re so far away. I look at your photograph and think of all the memories we x27;ve shared. Of old times and present times, too, And all the crazy things that we dared. But you x27;re so far away. You x27;re still far away. I x27;ll write you a letter saying, quot;I x27;m fine quot; and quot;how are you? quot; and quot;I miss you. quot; I x27;ve been thinking about you and wishing you were here with me. You know I x27;ll keep traveling forever. On my way. NOTES This song deals with two different, yet related interpretations of the theme. The first presents a person who dreams of the past but still strives to continue forward. The second looks at a common situation: how any photograph can stir memories within us all.
