Hardcover. 50 pages; A run of all twelve issues of the Saint Albans News for the 1955-1956 academic year bound in tan boards with a blue cloth spine and gilt lettering at front board. Contents in very nice condition, clean and tight; the boards have some fading and stains. Inscribed on ffep and signed by W. Stanfield Johnson (News Editor) and J. Kirkwood White (Lower School Editor). The Saint Albans News, the official student publication of St. Albans School, was founded in 1930 making it one of the oldest student newspapers in the country. Among the notable students of St. Albans are Al Gore, John Kerry, Neil Bush, Harold Ford, Jr., Gore Vidal and many Roosevelts. In addition to the usual coverage of athletics and school government and administration, the paper presents news and commentary on national politics, foreign affairs, book reviews, editorials, profiles of various students, etc. There is a brief opinion piece decrying the verdict in the trial for the murder of Emmett Louis Till. Succeeding his brother Alfred Friendly, Jr., Jonathan Friendly served as editor-in-chief during the 1955-56 season. Jonathan later worked for the Detroit Jewish News and Jewish Renaissance Media until his retirement in 2005. His father Alfred Friendly, Sr. (1911-1983) had started in journalism as a reporter with the Washington "Post" in 1939 and became the Post's Managing Editor in 1955; he played a major role in taking the 'Post' from a local paper to a journal of national and international importance. In 1967 he covered the Mideast War for the Post in a series of articles for which he won the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 1968. .
