FIRST RUGBY XV
Bill Hart played "Flank" 1946 - 1947
One of Bill's most favourite things in the world: RUGBY!
I knew that he had attended the Parktown Boys High School and a drive down to Auckland Park to visit the school proved to be worth the effort!
Thanks to the Parktown Head Coach, Mr.R, I was able to obtain copies of the rugby team photographs where a young William Hart shows his grubby elbows.
Mr.R simply removed the photographs from the wall of the school gymnasium and gave them to me to get them scanned and xeroxed down the road..!
Mr. R: you're the best!
Historical Background of the Parktown Boys (as cited on their website):
The origins of Parktown Boys' High School may be traced back to 1920 when the school was established on a site now occupied by the SABC in Auckland Park, Johannesburg. In 1923 the present school was founded in Wellington Road, the original building now being a National Monument. Past Parktonians have acquitted themselves as leaders of commerce, renowned academics and international sportsmen.
hmmm...they seemed to have forgotten to mention ARTISTS??
