The Squash team played but one squash match, which was lost, two matches being cancelled by our opponents. Fortunately there is a strong list of fixtures for this term, for match experience is an absolute essential in a good squash player. And so we end this editorial on the threshold of 1939 with a feeling of hope and confidence, hoping that it will be a year free from cares and anxiety, confident that it will be a year as happy and successful as its predecessor.
