Looking back

The Willamette Archive, part of the Hatfield Library, unveiled a new website last year containing recorded Glee songs from many years across the last century.

See the rest of the Glee collection, including the 1970 program. You can navigate between videos, photos programs programs and more by using the headings at the top of the table. Also make sure to check out the 1970 Glee Memory Book and the winning class song from 1973!
