Freshman Glee. the b eginvung... Though it consisted of only thirty-four members, the class of 1912 was a quot;first quot; class. Besides challenging other classes to a Glee, they originated a May Day tug-of-war over the Mill Stream. Their numerals were the first of many to be painted on the roof of the grandstand facing the old Sweet- land Field, and they were the first class to leave a practical gift to the school upon graduation: the drinking fountain at the west end of the first floor of Eaton Hall. After graduation, the musical class which quot;wanted to pep things up, quot; didn x27;t lose contact with Glee and is still eagerly sending suggestions for improvement to a Glee Manager of fifty years later. program Master of Ceremonies Dale Daniel Freshman Class President x27;s Report Paul McGilvra Senior Class Song quot;Bearcats to Victory11 Junior Class Song quot;The Cardinal and Gold11 Sophomore Class Song quot;To Victory11 Freshman Class Song quot;Bearcat Locomotive quot; Entertainment quot;Supplement to the Chronicles quot; Narrator Dale Bunse Presentation of Judges1 Decision Dr. D.

These three were Jimmie Oaks, quot;Brick quot; Harrison, and R. V. Ellis. The Freshman class was victorious in the first Glee held in Waller Hall, and the first glory was awarded by the presentation of the Glee banner to this class by Mr. G. H. Patterson, former dean of music at Willamette. Because the freshmen were the winning class, they were awarded the banner for their outstanding all-around performance. In 1912, marching was incorporated and is still carried on as a tradition of the song contest. The senior class established the wearing of caps and gowns in 1916. In the following year Dr. Doney, a Willamette president, announced the winner of Glee. It was then decided, due to a difficulty of acquiring a basis for judging, that a mutual type of song be sung by all classes, furthering the bases for competition. In 1924, the gym took the place of Waller Hall for Glee. And the years rolled by, each characterized by the overwhelming spirit of each winning Glee class; the freshmen won Silver Glee in 1933. A remarkable young woman named Helen Brenner wrote the song for the twenty-fifth Glee and went on to win for her class for the next three years with her outstanding songs. Tradition grew out of the repetition of Glee and increased class participation and song writing enthusiasm. Willamette life gained further recognition when quot;Life quot; published an article on Glee in 1938. Words and music became the essence of Glee and were judged carefully, while parodies were limited to three for each class. In 1947 brighter dress colors were used in the formations which were being restricted for their movement. Fortieth Glee brought a revival of the quot;whiskerino quot; contest, while participants reverted back to traditional uniform dress the men in dark clothes, the women in white. The years.have brought new students and new spirit. The steps of Waller creaked louder, and the rain came down upon new generations. In 1951 Glee was recorded for the first time for those who wanted to keep its spirit alive. Golden Glee is upon us today with the enthusiasm and emotion of the many who have worked on its presentation with the old fervor that many today can remember in the not-so-distant past. The fight song theme is renewed, and slides and a complete recording are being incorporated this year as a lasting memento of this presentation. tdi judging ana rules d ruu WORDS Mrs. Forrest Lemm Miss Fay Sparks Miss Iris Gray judges MUSIC Mrs. Jean Vancil L.
