January saw the annual 1967 squash tournament of our Boston classmates. The hardcore squash players gathered at the Boston Athletic Club for a playoff competition, while others joined them for drinks later. John Manaras helped plan the event that is now a tradition, and Tom Pyles arranged for the courts. After heated play, Tom Pyles won the final match over George Owens. In the consolation round Mark Sisitsky won over Bill White. Mark also won the award for being willing to travel farthest to defeat a classmate, having come from Washington, D.C., for the tournament. Among others present on the courts were Steve Cheheyl, Rick Shepard, Bill Bogardus, Pete Rosser, JohnWynne and Bill Sjogren. Bill was celebrating the fact that he was a new dad of less than three weeks.
