This week the Hi Lights focuses its
beams on Evelyn Sue Landlord, daugh
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur w. Lank-
ford.
Evelyn Sue came to our school IN
81 from Quinton, little country girl
with big, innocent, blue eyes, who is
always asking the question, "Why?'
(She still retains this quizzical ma
ture).
When we asked her what her hob
bies were she replied, Dancing, trying
to drive a car, and attending the NOV

orite subject is Math, yet she still
says that a triangle is a four sided
figure.

FORGOTTEN FACTS ABOUT
WASHINGTON
Everyone knows the general facts
about George Washington, whose
birthday is February 22nd, SO it's the
forgotten that are of interest. Here
are fey:
George Washington liked to sur
round himself with gay young people
because he never lost the Zest of
youth. He loved dancing particularly
and even after he retired to Mount
Vernon he often INDUCED in every set
during the whole evening.
During the Revolution he entered
a ballroom one night. Immediately
his eyes fell upon a particularly beau
tiful young woman. The officers,
young and old, were all aflutter. With
a mischevious twinkle in his eye,
Washington advanced to her and claim
ed the first dance. Because of his
rank this was his prerogative and ETH
quette demanded that no one else ap-
proach the young lady until he de-
parted from her side. The feelings of
the other officers may be imagined
when he continued to dance with her
for three hours and one-half, without
once sitting down in a chair to rest!
The evening was then over. He had
had his SLY joke at the expense of
every other man in the room.
One at least complained wistfully
about it, even long after it happened.
Washington always enjoyed a prac-
tical joke. and often INDUCED in con-
siderable horseplay on his own ac-
count. He had a keen sense of wit,
and often was very witty-as when,
at the dinner he rendered Lord Corn
wallis, after the surrender, he gave
the toast etiquette demanded "The
King of England" and added under
his breath with a sly wink, "May he
stay there!" Even CORVALLIS laughed
and Immediately became Washington's
lifelong friend.
To show the respect everyone had
for Washington, we hear the story
that in the neighborhood lived mem
Der of strong men, among them Geo
Mason, and the Lees. One day they
were assembled at the Pohick Church
awaiting Washington's arrival. Some
one suggested that the habit everyone
had of arising, on his arrival, was un-
seeming and should be dispensed with;
that Washington was common clay

GREAT SOAP COMPANY
KEEPS STEP WITH
RISING WASHER SALES
Discovers way to make
famous soap better
than ever

Sales reports for last year show that
1928, 585 washing machines were sold
an increase of almost 300, 900 over
the year before. AS more and more
washers are being sold the demand for
a soap that will give rich, lasting suds
and wash clothes whittier and brighter
with absolute safety becomes increas-
ingly urgent.
Richer sudS
The makers of Rinse recently an
nounced the perfection of the latest and
most important step in the production
Of the ideal soap for washing machines.
After many months of intense research
and experimentation the Rinse Labora-
tories have discovered way to make
Rinse better than ever. According to
reports from washer owners every
where, the New improved Rinse now
gives from 25 to 500 more suds, even
in hard water.
Endorsed by experts

machines, aware that their modern
washers need truly modern soap, have
united in endorsing the New Rinse. It
is estimated that almost two million
washing machines will be sold this year.
Thousands of washer statesmen during
the year will be instructed by their
companies to recommend only Rinse
for best results.

precariously close to oblivion. George
Washington University's highly re-
garded football team will wedge its
way into more respected society to-
night at Griffith Stadium, clashing
with a powerful and versatile Missis-
sippi eleven in what may prove the
most attractive local collegiate game
of the season. The kickoff will be at
BIS o'clock.
Having smeared Furman, Butler,
Colorado and Davis and Elkins, at the
same time allowing turf in its end
zone to sprout weeds. George WASH
ington enters probably the toughest
game on its schedule properly geared.
The team is set extensively and de-
fensively and is confident.
Admittedly underdogs to one of the
South's strongest outfits, the Colonials
nevertheless have been brought to
midseason unfettered by injuries, un-
hampered by i'll fortune in any form
and, incidentally, undefeated, united
and unscored on. While that last
item is coveted zealously, G. w. would
settle for victory on any basis over the
formidable Rebels.

N0tre Dame 'F00tbalP Alumni

at Yankee Stadium before about 80 900.
The game is unique because of
this terrific outpouring Of the old
grads, most of whom bought their
tickets back in August. Otherwise the
contest is not particularly distin-
2uished. because Notre Dame usually
wins and national honors very seldom
are in the balance.
The 10000 alumni who scheme and
scrap for the privilege Of paying $40
each to see the game are not to be
confused with the calmer type Of
alumnus who actually attended classes
at one of the two institutions. The
latter is comparatively rare and has
become scattered all over the world,
while the Notre Dame football alumni
is concentrated right here in New
York.
There are estimated to be about
800 900 of them in the greater city,
men who for years have suffered
agonies every time the Army threat
ened to score on their alma mater.
Some of them have been loyal Notre

The Terps are in pretty good trim
for the game, with Charley Weidinger,
quarterback, and Bob Brown, big
tackle, sure to play and likely to start.
Jim Forester, senior center, also is
