The School Magazine
The first issue of the school magazine appeared in 1938. It was the work of R. H. Shorten, a fifth form pupil. Since then the magazine has evolved and improved considerably. The school magazine is probably the best window on the life and state of the School over the years. I am delighted to present to you in electronic form some past issues of the School Magazine.

Squash
According to Mr. Beard, “Not long after the war it was the Old Boys’ Association that undertook to raise the large sum of money required to build the School’s two Squash Courts.” Many of the ESC boys and girls enjoyed playing squash. Some excelled at it, such as Eileen Jamal, and Aly Nasr who became Egyptian Amateur Squash Champion. I recall an exhibition match at our school between the famous world champions Hashem Khan and Mahmoud Abdel Kareem. Some of us continued to play squash after leaving school and some still do. I include a photo of Lotfi El-Sherbini and Freddy Saad at M.I.T. Both played on the top team, and Saad became captain in 1961.
