Word has been received by the
school authorities that Mt. Vernon
high school has been placed on the list
of accredited schools by the North
Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary schools, composed of insti-
tutions located in the middle west.
This enables the graduates of the high
school to enter any college or second
airy school on the list without entrance
examinations. The association embrac-
es schools In twelve different states
and it is very pleasing to know that
the standard of merit is high enough
in Mt. Vernon high school so as to
warrant the placing of 1t on the list.
