Bill ' s sons , Hugh (' 80 ) and Lachlan (' 84 ), wrote :
Bill was born at Hawthorn on 5 August 1928 . Initially educated at Maffra Higher Elementary School and Sale High School , the Great Depression and rural Victorian life left an indelible impression on Bill , especially gratitude for life ' s simple pleasures .
Fortunate that his parents believed in giving children a good education , in 1944 Bill was sent to Scotch , which he loved . Initially a day boy , in Term 2 he left Lawson House to board in School House as a member of Littlejohn House , of which he became 1946 Captain . Bill played in the premiership 1945 1st XVIII , and the 1946 1st XVIII , and competed in the 1946 Athletics team . He was a 1946 School Prefect . Also at Scotch was his brother , Donald Euan Cameron ( born 19.6.1933 , SC 1947-50 , died 20.5.2012 ).
Bill hoped to study Medicine , and achieved the required marks , but prioritised playing football and earning money . Working for Shell , he played football for Old Scotch , and hoped to join Carlton , where his father , Christopher Aldane Nickels Cameron , played in 1913 . However , zoning rules tied him to St Kilda , which rightly refused to transfer him , as he won St Kilda ' s best first year player award in 1948 .
Bill won ' most fearless ' awards in 1949 and 1950 – accolades that suited his approach to life . He played 61 games , scored two goals , and received two Brownlow medal votes before work
