THE N O X F/J/ Volume XXXIX GALESBURG, ILLiNOIS SPRING ISSUE, 1965 No. 3 Pig Dinner a Big Success Gamma Deuteron's fifty-fourth an- nual Norris Pig Dinner was acclaim- ed a tremendous success by all who attended, alumni and undergradu- ates alike. The dinner, one of the foremost traditions of Phi Gamma Delta, gives the active and graduate brothers an opportunity to swap stories, and the tales told at this year's dinner varied in vintage from 1910 to 1965. The activities began at 4:30 on Saturday afternoon, March 13, at the Holiday Inn on Highway 150 north of Galesburg. The brothers spent about an hour and a half in the relaxed at- mosphere of the Red Coach Inn en- joying the conversation and refresh- ments.
