Halloween Foosball News 'N Notes
Three members of the Bartlett School Class of 1998 figure to benefit the

singles tournament. Greg and Lena
Mendonca won a match in the 2001
doubles tournament, marking the first time a mixed team ever had a
victory. Last year Sopha
and Linna Hor
became the first all girls team to win when they beat the Higson
brothers last year.
There still has been no sign of Greg Ouellette. Since the rumors of a possible trip to
