1953 BC Foundation scholars, view looking across what was later to become the suburb of Parkmore, towards the ridge where Sandton City was built in 1973 on Zandfontein Farm.
This photograph illustrates the remoteness of the St Stithians property at the time the College was founded. The property, itself a portion of the original Driefontein Farm, was surrounded by farmland in 1953.
Physical album:
The Harris album was compiled from photographs, newspaper cuttings, programmes etc. sent to Miss Harris and her sister, Mrs Hetty Kingswell, in the United Kingdom by Mr E M (Monty) Harris, a founding staff member of the College. A few further photographs and an introductory page were added by Mr Walter Mears, the first headmaster of the College.
Digital album:
The digital album, for ease of use, has been divided into four items, each of which consists of various parts;
Item 1: Complete pages
Item 2: Multi-page documents that are contained within the album. This item allows one to browse through each document individually.
Item 3: Newspaper cuttings that were folded in the album are expanded here for full viewing.
Item 4: All 115 digitised photographs from the album, listed in the chronological order in which they appear in the album.
Items collected by Lilian Harris and amalgamated into an album presented to the College following the sudden death of E M Harris in 1961.
