Help Needed, PLEASE!

I have been asked to compile a quiz for my children's school, which is celebrating it's 50th Anniversary this year.
All the questions/answers need to be related to 50. They can be cryptic, general knowledge, anagrams, etc. Please can anyone give me some help on this?

Many Thanks.
