Preparing Boys for Life

A Tribute to Haverford School Squash

Preview: Squash - A History of Excellence

Since its inception more than a century ago, The Haverford School's squash program has been the best in the country. The legacy of this storied program is now memorialized in Squash – A History of Excellence by James Zug, a member of The Haverford School's Class of 1987.

Over the past two years, he has interviewed dozens of former players, coaches and parents and read through each year's Index, Haligoluk and Haverford School Today. Professionally designed, the coffee table-style book is nearly 200 pages and full of engaging photographs. Some of the great names from the past – Sargent, Vehslage, Howe, Mellor, Edwards, McFarland, Clothier, Ball, Ford, and Hughes – are here, as well as key matches, the rivalry with EA, the TOC, the tournament at Choate, and now the National High Schools. In the appendix, the results of every single Haverford dual match are listed. It is an amazing story, finally brought together in a beautiful book.
