DEDICATIO ff? tt . 4 Fifty years ago in this town, a small group of earnest students embarked on a novel venture. They organized a school magazine. This does not sound like a particularly imposing project today. Perhaps even at that time it was not considered so. Be that as it may, the important fact lies not in what they did, but rather in the substantial manner in which they did it. So well did they perform their task that now, fifty years later, their work still continues. Therefore today, with the sincere hope that we have not failed our heritage, we dedicate this issue of the Advocate to this first staff: Albert H. Spence, '91 Harry Tay, '93 Lizzie M. Graves, '91 George Pond, '94 Helen W. Leach, '92 Frank 0. Woodruff, '92 Charles 0. Mclntosh, '91 Allston R. Bowers, '92 Horace Twigg, '94 Rubelle 1. Mills, '92 Marion Fuller, '93 Herbert Mclntosh, '93 ,J W.--..........-..-...........-.,.,...l .........,...-......-......-...-.--.-.W ---A-.-----A

FORE GRD A golden anniversary for our high school publication! Fifty years of continuous service! Half a century of headaches for the staff and enjoyment for the readers! This is the enviable record of the Advocate of Needham High School. When in 1891 in the old Kimball School, Albert H. Spence, Lizzie M. Graves, Helen W. Leach and their friends decided to start a school magazine, they founded a Needham institution which has developed in size and quality up to the present time. Through years in the Emery Grover School and the present junior High building, the pupils of Needham High published a record of their school life. At first this summary of the year's work was presented chiefly as a literary magazine. Later, material was added descrip- tive of the social events and the gayer side of school. Still later, when high school athletics developed, write-ups of sports and team pictures were added. Thus, throughout the years, with the growth of the school and the town, the Advocate also developed. This year, thinking that this record was indeed worthy of something special, we have prepared a more elaborate and more modern yearbook. The emphasis in this issue has been placed on the pictorial expression of school life rather than on the written ex- pression. We have included many more pictures and have broadened the scope of our view of school activities. The style and arrange- ment of the book have been changed and a theme, designed by Eugene Ward, has been used to give an effect of unity. We have also published a section containing excerpts from Advocates since 1891. We hope that our issue of the Advocate, commemorating fifty years of publication, will be found worthy of the enviable record already established.
