p60 Standing in the top row from left to right are Tom Cashen, Jim Cashen, Bert Chivers, Alf Chivers, Gilbert Smith and Joe Beale. Seated in the middle row are Leo Fitzsimons, Mick Cashen, the umpire Walter Bilson, Ted Sheahan, and Lew Beale. In the front are Jim Sheahan and Jim Hodgson.

Apart from their common interest in cricket all these men contributed strongly to com-munity life in the middle years, as is indicated in the following brief notes.

Tom, Jim, and Mick Cashen were three of five brothers who in the 1880's and 1890's were pupils at the Templestowe State School. For many years Jim lived in the Cashen's old home in James Street which overlooked the bowling green. Later he lived beside his brother Tom in Atkinson Street between Milne and McLachlan Streets, and just near their brother Mick in James Street. All the Cashen brothers were orchardists.
