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. Read More

Squash
According
to Mr. Beard, “Not long after the war it was the Old Boys’

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. Read

It is with great sorrow that I report the passing of Adel Sarofim on December 4, 2011 in Virginia, U.S.A. He attended the ESC where he excelled academically and was active in sports. He played football and represented the school. He received a B.A. in chemistry from Oxford University in 1955, a Chemical Engineering Practice SM in 1957 and a Chemical Engineering ScD in 1962 from MIT. He became an instructor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT in 1958 and was named the Lammot du Pont Professor in 1989. He retired in 1996 and joined the University of Utah as Presidential Professor and became affiliated with Reactive Engineering International, a company he co-founded. Read More
