Narrative:
Normal takeoff and climbout until about 24;000 ft when both the captain and myself became aware of a loss of cabin altitude control. ATC was notified; an emergency was declared; and the flight descended to 10;000 ft and returned to the departure airport for a normal landing. QRH and normal checklists were referenced.
