Vol. XXXX No. 2 SPRING ISSUE, 1970 UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO 50th NORRIS PIG DINNER GALA The Norris Pig Dinner was a huge success again this year as we celebrated our 50th anniversary with our section chief, brother John Freeman (Colorado '36), from Seattle. We had more alums sign up to attend this year than ever before but unfortunately, bad weather through the rugged Idaho mountains made it impossible for many of them to join in the celebration. Brother Freeman arrived with an ample supply of champaign from which all of the Mu Iota Fiji's drank a toast to the Cheney Cup and the Jordan Bowl. Brother Dave "Goofy" Goss (Idaho '69) was master of ceremonies for the evening and did a fine job, even with his standard jokes. The Mary McCartys served an excellent dinner as always, and our housemother, Mrs. Karl Klages, was her usual generous self in organizing and planning the dinner. Our sincere thanks goes out to the Mary McCarties and Mrs. Klages. John Freeman, Section Chief, takes a drink from the Cheney Cup at the 50th Norris Pig Dinner in celebration. Dean Boyd Martin of the College of Letters and Science, led the class of 1933 in a cheer while all the other alums from MU IOTA ALUM RECEIVES 1925 to 1970 cheered for their own pledge classes.
