lt;?toeH0tfe  4w v amp; The victorious Class of   x27;61. Around this time of year the Willamette campus is lively with the anticipation of Freshman Glee. Every spare minute of the day is filled with song and formation practices. The sounds of up, two, three, four, pivot, two, three, four echo across the quad. Glee bets are made and later carried out on  quot;Blue Monday quot;. Freshman Glee, now in its fifty-second year, has come to be one of the most popular traditions 6n the Willamette campus. Glee was originated in 1908 by three students of the freshman class, R. V. Ellis,  quot;Brick quot; Harrison, and Jimmie Oaks. The first Glee, then called College Glee, was held in the auditorium of Waller Hall. The idea of marching was introduced in 1912. Each class now had a formation which came to be just as important as the song. In 1916 the senior class established the wearing of caps and gowns. It was decided that a mutual type of song be sung by all classes so it would be easier to establish a basis for judging. Glee expanded in size as well as tradition until in 1924 the gym took the place of Waller Hall. Class participation and enthusiasm increased rapidly until Glee became a Willamette tradition. In 1938  quot;Life quot; published an article on Glee bringing further recognition to the campus as well as to Glee itself. Parodies were included in Glee, with a limit of three to each class. Brighter colors were used in the formation in 1947. But the next year they went back to traditional uniform dress with the men in dark clothes, the women in white. This same year brought a revival of the  quot;whiskerino quot; contest. In 1951 Glee was recorded for the first time, making it possible for all to keep its memory vivid. This Year  x27;s Glee,  quot;Serenade quot;, has seen a lot of hard work and has been fun for all participants. The banner was awarded to the junior class. The sophomore class again took the traditional swim into the mill stream. So another Glee with its uniting spirit fades into the past, as the Willamette campus settles back to await future Glee presentations.
