A collage of both the title page and foreword of the 1924 Loyolan yearbook, the first yearbook produced at Loyola. Both are very ornate, with pink and white designs. The cover page (left) includes the information: "Published by the STUDENTS of LOYOLA University - Chicago, Illinois." The foreword (left) says:
"The first volume of The Loyolan is the result of the co-operation of all the colleges of the University and the overcoming of great obstacles and difficulties which the staff encountered in fixing precendents and establishing a permanent year-book in Loyola University. That its readers will overlook such deficiencies as may appear in what has been an earnest attempt to record, in the college life, the fairest period of a life, and that future classes will carry on its effort, is the sincere hope of the editors and staff."

A newspaper clipping displaying an advertisement for Loyola University in a Yiddish-language newspaper. "Loyola University, Chicago, Illinois" is written in English, and the rest in Yiddish. The date is likely September 20, 1921 (Yiddish transliterated: "sept. 20tun, 1921"
The statistics below the title, framed by two pointing hands, reads "1940 studentn 147 profesorn" advertising that the school has 1940 students and 147 professors. Each paragraph begins with a large word: in order, they are "lawz," "meditzin," "art un science" and "sociolodzie" (law, medicine, arts and sciences, and sociology." Each paragraph describes the days and hours of classes, tuition fees, goals of the program, and the address and phone extension for each registrar. For instance, the law paragraph mentions "for di bar" - "for then bar [exam]." The medicine paragraph includes both the B.S. and the M.D. written in Hebrew letters. Art and science discusses its accreditation, offering such as "endzshineering" (engineering) . Sociology includes social work ("sotziale arbeyt"), extension classes, sociology, pedagogy, history, philosophy ("pilosophy"), literature, speaking ("shprachen"), and mathematics.
The last line reads: "ketelog un information - beym rezshistor, 617 ashland blok, telephone central 2883" and is probably translated as "Catalog and information - with the registrar, 617 Ashland Block, Telephone Central 2883."

Six students from the Sock and Buskin perform in the play "Turn to the Right". The students are dressed in tuxedoes with bow ties or formal dresses. The standing pair to the left gaze at each other, holding hairs. One member of the seated pair in the center gazes at his partner, who is looking ahead. The pair to the right stand and gaze at each other.
Founded in 1926, Sock and Buskin Club was a theater club. The club's name came about from the practice of comedians wearing socks and tragedians wearing a kind of half-shoe known as a "buskin". As the group wished to portray both humor and serious issues in their plays, they settled on a name that would reflect these directions.
