Dedication To one who has always endeavored to as- sist us in our quest for education, who has in- creased the efficiency of our school to the best of his ability, who has striven to fulfill his vision of training us to be better, wiser and more appreciative Americans and who has been our sincere friend and adviser during our entire high school career we gladly dedicate our An- nual. This, we think, is the most appropriate token of our undying gratitude that we can present to Mr. Painter who has become our creditor for the remainder of our lives.

Foreword Listen, folks-just a minute before you begin reading this Hoop-Pole, of which we're proud. Of course we realize that Irving Bachellor or O. O. M'lntyre probably would't own this book on a dare, but all the same, simple amateurs that we are, this thirteenth edition of the Hoop-Pole is the pride of our hearts. We've burned gallons of midnight oil working on it in- stead of cramming for tests twith the sad results, sometimes, as far as our grades were concernedj 5 we've discussed covers, pic- tures, write-ups, and such every day, even to the extent of bolting our lunch and forsaking the rest of the crowdg we've dreamed of this 1924 Annual instead of the customary sugar plums. In other words, we've toiled and we've moiled on this piece of literature, and with the kind assistance of the business men of Mt. Vernon and the co-operation of our class and school., we've been able to overcome the hoodoo of that number thirteen. And now we take great pleasure in presenting our Annual to you, and we hope you enjoy it as much as you have the twelve preceding ones all put together.
