Rugby League Teams at Petersham Public School in early 1960s

I have not had time to identify all the people in these photos.   But please send me back a comment if you know people in these photos.  Thanks to Graeme Grubb for the following photos.

Fig. 2  Guessing this is Under 5 stone 7 lbs team in 1960.

I remember Mr Limbeck as the enthusiastic older teacher who managed Rugby League at Petersham Public School.  Other memory scraps include a weigh-in session on the covered verandah outside Mr Limbeck’s classroom, which was next door to the School Hall, and part of the original Victorian era school building – brick and sandstone walls, with steep slate roofs, and highly sculpted timber facias and barge boards.
