Help us make it a night to remember. The Freshman Class Dedication In today x27;s immense world, Glee is only a small event in a sleepy college town. Yet Glee has survived 68 years in this everchanging society. We feel that this feeling of cooperation can be extended to the world x27;s quest for a brighter dawn of freedom. We, therefore, would like to dedicate this Glee to anyone who has ever dreamed of that brighter dawn. 68 years? Glee was first held in Waller Hall in 1908. In 1916 Glee was moved out of Waller to the Salem Armory due to lack of room. Then again to the First Methodist Church and finally back to campus and into the gymnasium in 1923. Last year upon the completion of the Sparks Center, Glee was moved into the Cone Fieldhouse.

Classes March In Freshman Glee Co-Managers x27; Address Grif Frost/Hunter Emerick quot;Silver Mountain quot; Class of 1976 quot;After the Storm quot; Class of 1977 quot;Cornerstones quot; Class of 1978 quot;Start Again quot; Class of 1979 Entertainment Randy Crenshaw Presentation of the Decision of the Judges Dean Yocom AFTER THE STORM by K. C. Humphrey Dream of a day dawning after a storm As the sun breaks through a cloud And life is being born; There is a place yet uncovered by the day Where the wind and rain have gone, Touching everything with dismay But they cannot hold those who seek the rising sun. Though the rain is still pouring down I see the sun about to rise I see the freedom in your eyes; Slowly the whirlwinds blow away If only those in darkness knew The morning light I x27;ll share with you. So we wait for the dawn of a new day To drive away the storm And we wait for the dawn of a new day To see a rainbow form and light the sky. Look beyond these four painted walls The earth is full of living room The rainbow shines with life in bloom; Someday the storms will disappear When we allow ou world to be free By giving ourselves and all we can be. Oh, let yourself go; Freedom is a seed that has to grow Through the night and the day Through the sun and the rain The seed must be strong To endure the winds of change So we wait for the dawn of a new day To drive away the storm And we wait for the dawn of a new day To see the rainbow form and light the sky. Dream of a day dawning after a storm As the sun breaks through a cloud And life is being born The seed will grow as long as we will try And wait for the dawn of a new day To see a rainbow form and light the sky. Notes on quot;After the Storm quot; quot;After the Storm quot; was inspired by the writings of Kahlil Gibran, Omar Khayyam and the disciple Mark. The images are all traditional; the storms of life x27;s trials give way to the dawning of hope as the seed of freedom in each of us begins to grow. The rainbow ties the storm to the sunlight for both must nourish the seed. K. C. Humphrey quot;SILVER MOUNTAIN quot; by Gregg Capp When I was a little boy I had a special place to go, where I could be alone. It was called Silver Mountain and in this place, my thoughts were all my own, and the trees were made of gold. CHORUS I Take your troubles up to Silver Mountain, let them bubble out, the soda fountain and float right down into Lollipop Bay. And if your troubles seem a little hazy, spend the day picking peppermint daisies, you might even decide to stay. Whenever I was lonely I knew that there was one place I could call my own. I x27;d gather up my troubles and take them to the one place I called home, and I x27;d never be alone. CHORUS II Then I x27;d fly on up to Silver Mountain and I x27;d bubble out the soda fountain and float right on down into Lollipop Bay. And when my troubles seemed a little hazy, I x27;d spend the day picking peppermint daisies. Then I x27;d simply fly away. Now that I x27;m not so young I don x27;t forget the things that I learned long ago. Whenever I have troubles I know that there x27;s still one place I can go, And I x27;d like to let you know. CHORUS III Take your troubles up to Silver Mountain, let them bubble out the soda fountain and float right on down into Lollipop Bay. And if your troubles seem a little hazy, spend the day picking peppermint daisies. And you x27;ll find it will help you through the day. When you learn to see the silver way. Notes on quot;Silver Mountain quot; Silver Mountain is a short cruise through the delightful world of fantasy. It is a simple song of freedom, a personal freedom recaptured from the long lost world of childhood. Follow us as we take our troubles up to Silver Mountain, and don x27;t be surprised if you find yourself singing. Gregg Capp quot;Cornerstones quot; Words and Music by Andrew J. Gregg and Tom Spivey CHORUS We all stand here together, each one of us alone. . ,,. . -r lblx liu 4 ,. x27; , y x27; , * - : x27; . . Listen to our folklore, like echoes from the past; Looking down the long, long road that leads away from home. . . . n . iir rt ... . , . , * . ... . u . . . x27; 4 , . . x AU . . o Listen to our families who ve made our freedom last; We don t know where it s taking us, but then, who s ever known? . . . n . .. +Krt , *u , .

The blood-red dawn before me, fighting all around ... Be proud of what our fathers earned to keep us free. Friends I x27;ve known and loved, now lost . . . lying on the ground. Realize just how they yearned, there x27;s no one pushing me. We march now to a new day, the fighting dying down. And at the price they had to pay, But how much pain does freedom cost, for now our hearts are bound. Be sure it never slips away. INSTRUMENTAL So now we have our freedom, we had faith enough to win. Now another struggle is waiting to begin. Brothers will see brothers die, but hope will not run thin, If another war besieges us, we x27;ll join as one again. REPEAT CHORUS Notes on quot;Cornerstones quot; The thought behind quot;Cornerstones quot; is basically one of looking at the revolution through the eyes of personal freedom and feel ings; telling us not to forget our past and the struggles of our forefathers who fought for freedom, which we now enjoy. The underlying theme of this is to realize that we might not truley appreciate our freedom, not having fought for it. And of course, the titles, quot;Cornerstones quot; the basic element, the building block; that is what freedom is. Where would you and I be without it? Tom Spivey Start Again by Ben Carlile They told us everyone was equal but now we know that x27;s far from true They had told us we were governen x27;d by the people but now we know what Mr. Nixon knew. And in this year of celebration several things are becoming clearer not only must we thank our nation, but we must look into the mirror. CHORUS It is time to start again set this country on a better trend to build a place where freedom rings a world for us, and not machines. This was supposed to be a dawn of freedom but that means different things to different men and like the earth that knows to change its season it seems to us we x27;ve got to start again . . . start again But through the sadness we can still find room to love this country that has gone astray. In our hearts we know she x27;ll come back soon but we must help her find the way.
