In May we were ready to play a tournaaent the winner of which would become our new school cham- ' pion. There were ten entrants in all: seasoned veterans (relatively speaking, that is!) Brian Dyer, Dennis Morrill, Ron Flash, and Robert Deane; brothers Ricky and Jon Faulkner; our only girl, Sandy Green; and a WHIT, trio who had dominated play in our club most of the year, Paul Gorha•, Torr Kelso, and Josh Scandlcn.
