1935
Latest word is that on February 5, when the Dartmouth alumni body turns out en masse at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York to honor President-Emeritus Ernest Martin Hopkins, the '35 contingent will gather for a pre-dinner cocktail party in Suite M on the fourth floor of the Waldorf. Reg Bankart and Ernie Draper, who are making arrangements mentsfor this '35 party, report that classmates will probably begin gathering in Suite M, 4th floor, as early as 6 o'clock, so that they will have time to catch up with old friends before the dinner begins at 7:30. At this writing, our class is planning to join with '34 for this pre-dinner party.
The Dartmouth Club is generously providing rooms for any alumni and wives who wish to change into evening clothes before the dinner (the dinner is black tie), and special arrangements have also been made with Meyer Bros, garage at 57 East 41st Street (between Madison and Park), where cars can be parked at the rate of $1.50 for the evening.
A great turnout is expected for this occasion honoring Dr. Hopkins, with the ma- jority of '3sers and their wives from the metropolitan New York area planning to attend, as well as classmates from New England and the Middle West. A number of '35ers from different parts of the country are trying to plan their winter business trips to New York for the first week in February so that they can be on hand for the dinner.
35 SANTA CLAUS
Back during the holiday season, Boston papers ran news stories and pictures featuring a Newton plastics company president who gave his employees a big trip to Europe as a Christmas present—and this Santa Claus turned out to be none other than our classmate Joe Sholkin. Employer Sholkin, it seems, had given his staff a trip to Canada the preceding Christmas, and the jaunt turned out to be successful that this year he organized a European trip for approximately 50 persons, most of them employees and some clients. The entire party left Boston aboard a special Trans-World airliner, and visited Rome, Paris, London, Ireland and Holland, spending New Year's Eve at the Folies Bergere. all on boss Sholkin. Joe himself had left for Europe on an earlier flight so he could make all the necessary arrangements for hotel reservations, tips, nightclub visits, and so forth, so that his people had nothing to worry about to enjoy themselves.

Paul Hilli sends us a photograph from a Hartford, Conn., newspaper which shows two distinguished '35ers, Sax Ziemen and BudSteinle, officiating at a Dartmouth get-to-gether in the insurance capitol.
Following is a note from Don Richardson in Palo Alto, Calif.:
Afraid I haven't much news to contribute, as Ann and I live a pretty quiet life here near Stanford University. We have a new house within the year, and are enjoying it and the many birds that Ann feeds. 132 cedar waxwings called a few days ago in one flock. I have recently changed jobs, shifting from aircraft radar to missiles. I am a research engineer for Lockheed Missile Division, which is expanding rapidly in this area. As you can imagine, we are under plenty of pressure at the present time.
John Harvey was recently made a partner in the New York CPA firm of Haskins and Sells. John lives in Ridgewood, N. J., with his wife and six boys.
Win Garth down Georgia way is still apparently in the lead, however, for the classmate with the largest number of offspring. Latest count in the Garth household is six boys and one girl.

By interesting coincidence, one morning recently five members of the class all ended up having breakfast in the same dining room in the Biltmore Hotel in New York. Your correspondent was meeting George Colton there to discuss the upcoming Hopkins Dinner, and we bumped into Al Sherwood, who was meeting one of his clients there. Then, at a nearby table we noticed carpet tycoon Herb Shuttleworth, who was holding a business breakfast, and while we were all saying hello and shaking hands, Don Rogers from Minneapolis dropped by to make it a sizable '35 conclave.
Hope to be seeing many of you at the Hopkins Dinner on February 5!
