          x27;Uistory o  Qlcc Freshman Glee can be summed up in a word    quot;tradition quot; Glee started in 1908 under the imaginative leadership of Jim- mie Oaks,  quot;Brick quot; Harrison, and R. V. Ellis. The Freshman Class of 1909 challenged the upper classes to a contest of wit and musical talent. Each class was to write its own song and perform it for the mutual enjoyment of the Willamette community. For the first few years, Glee was held in Waller Auditorium. As Glee increased in popularity and size, it was moved to the First Methodist Church. The 1912 wallulah described Glee as an  quot;exhibition of vocal pyrotechnics, quot; and in that same year, classes added marching to their presentations. During 1913 the number of participants forced Glee to move again, this time to the Salem Armory. In 1923 it was finally moved to its present location, the Willamette Gymnasium. As the years passed, Glee  x27;s reputation grew until it earned headline status in the oregonian and a feature article in life magazine. Each successive year finds Glee taking on more meaning for those who participate. It is a time consuming experience in creative activity, group dynamics, and cooperation. The final day of Glee activities is the payment of Glee bets on  quot;Blue Monday quot; which includes the traditional swimming of the mill race by the losing class. Then that sacred piece of cloth goes into hiding until next year, and Glee becomes a memory again. This evening we offer you the tradition of yesterday and the vitality of today. In the spirit of all that Glee involves, the Class of 1973 presents the Sixty-second Annual Freshman Glee. 
        Welcome ASSress . . . and at last the evening arrives. For the sixty-second time the classes of Willamette are anxiously awaiting those final moments on stage. With parodies poised and hectic rehearsals behind, Glee again holds that intangible promise of victory and threat of defeat for those weary participants whose painstaking efforts have helped to insure another year of unforgetable memories. Tonight the colorful traditions of this annual event meet the complexities and challenges of the present for the first time under the new theme of  quot;Today quot;. A dramatic dimension of  quot;new quot; has thus been blended with  quot;old quot; to promise an evening of greater meaning and added enjoyment. Listen carefully . . . you may find that Today is just full of surprises. Enjoy yourselves . . . and move in on a little Soul and Inspiration. The evening  x27;s arrived . . . Freshman Glee 1970.

         quot;A REASON TO BELIEVE,y  When the time on blades of grass says  all will come to pass  And your friends come to ask of you  do you think it's true  Did you find a reason to believe?  When the people pass you by  not even blinking an eye  They send you to fight a war  you can't believe in anymore  Can you find a reason to believe?  Wind that blows over my own soul  Tells me to keep movin' on  Tells me to keep movin' on  And if the time comes when  we close our eyes  to what we might be if we looked inside  Then we've found a reason to believe  what they're tellin' us  Yes, then we've found a reason to believe.  In the house that we build there will be no war  there will be flowers of welcome  for all at our door  With wine from the land that we've promised our sons  With sky and good earth  for all those who come  In the house that we build in the sun,  In the house that we build in the sun.  In the house that we build in the sun.  Words and Music:  Doug Forsythe  John Foster  Bruce Robertson  Formation Leader: John Haynor   
         quot;TODAY quot; We make the world today seem smaller, But look at man, He  x27;s no taller. We  x27;re always right, but never wrong It  x27;s time for change. Come along. Passing days, Living in a world of dreams, But it seems, He can  x27;t find Today  Take it  And don  x27;t you mistake it. It  x27;s your life, so come on and make it  Living  And while we  x27;re forgiving, We  x27;re sharing our love and our caring. I live next to you And you live next to me ... Happiness will be In your heart, Can  x27;t you see? It will be A NEW TODAY  Words and Music: Dave Hjelt Kathy Hartman Song Leaders: Kathy Hartman Dave Hjelt Formation Leader: Skip Macy 
         quot;TODAY:   THROUGHOUT THE AGES quot; Today, We are but children, young and alive. Today, We cannot know for what we strive. What will we be? Have you been told? What will we know, when we grow old? Nothing means anything Unless we are willing to stop    To try to dare, to say I care, to say I care  Today, We are still young and wrought with confusion. Today, We  x27;re learning to live in an illusion. What are we now? What can you say? What do we know? Are we just clay? We won  x27;t grow up at all Unless we accept the call of one    Who tried to dare, to say I care, to say I care   Where there is hope do not despair; When fortunes fall someone will care. Do not lose sight of your ideal, And yet hold fast to what is real. At last, we find our hopes, our dreams, our inspiration, in other men. Today, Too old and too soon, and what have we seen? Today, Are we aware of where we  x27;ve been? What were we then? Have you been told? What have we learned, now that we  x27;re old? Anything means everything If tve at last are willing to stop    And say today, I see the way and think of you, not me. Words  x27;. Molly Mack Music: Kevin Boyd and Chuck White Song Leader: DeanPetrich Formation Leader: Dennis Reese 
         quot;THIS IS OUR SOUL; OUR HIGHEST INSPIRATION quot; Today, the blossoms cling to the trees; and yet they fall. In this world there is a place for us, We must do what we do. I as a person, will be forgotten, In a few years. But before I  x27;m gone, Today I must give all I  x27;ve got to give, To better the world with it  x27;s turmoil and trouble, In which I live. When we come together, We can reach each other through our thoughts, Our contrasting feelings. There is no joy, In looking through a mirror-glass pond, That warps, With what the sea breeze brings  A color is a color, A person himself. Take each idea for what it is worth. Is it worse that seven, than sev  x27;n hundred die? All for the presentation, Of what we think is right. People must live, in this land, As well as other lands. We will live our lives, And always reach out a helping hand This Is Our Soul; Our Highest Inspiration. To live in love, with our fellowman. This is Our Soul; Our Highest Inspiration. To pass on to others, The products, of our generation. Words and Music: John West Song Leader: John West Formation Leader: John Welty
