r. H. V. Church Hli students ofthis school, in their hurry from class to class, have, no doubt, given little thought to the man who is respon- sible for the many advantages offered them as students of Morton. It is intended that this biography better acquaint one with lVlr. Church, in order that the full significance of being one of the students should be understood. lVlr. Harry Victor Church was born in Alle- gan, Michigan, and while there, like all other boys, was addicted to outdoor life. He became proficient in water sports, which marked his ca- reer as an athlete. Later his parents moved to Burlington, Kansas, and during the years 1891 and 1892 he attended the College of Emporia, where he distinguished himself as an athlete, having earned the position of first baseman on the college team. ln 1893 he came to Chicago, entered the University bearing that city's name, and graduated in 1894. Again in athletic activi- ties, he won his UC in the broad jump, holding supremacy in that event for four years in the Big Ten. For this the HC button and blanket were awarded him. This now distinguishes him as an honorary spectator at all athletic events con- tested for at the ull. College days over, he entered into his lifels work as an educator. ln 1896 he was appointed principal of the Goodwin School in Clyde, Illi- nois. For a year he was head of the Western Springs School, which position terminated with the appointment to the Clyde High School, the original nucleus of the now high ranking El. Ster- ling Morton. The Clyde High School, a three story red-brick building, was situated on Ogden Avenue two blocks east ofAustin Avenue. lVlr. Church's ability and desires for better edu- cation have gained for him the honor of being the most widely known principal in the United States. The Judd Club, an organization of secondary school principals of northern Illinois, was organ- ized by him and named after Dr, Charles H. Judd, director of education of the University of Chicago. The prime function of this organiza- tion is to discuss problems in education and to formulate plans for a bigger and better system of education. Among the various other outside activities he holds the oflice of secretary in the National Association of Secondary-school Prin- cipals and is also editor of the year-book pub- lished by the' association. The National,Honor society, sponsored by the foregoing association of principals, awards honors to students distin- guishing themselves scholastically and in leader- ship. This also is attributed to the endeavors of lVlr. Church. As a member ofthe executive com- mittee ofthe North Central Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools, he is marked as a judge of education and successful executives. lVlr. Church is modern. just lately he was appointed Director of Education for the Sears, Roebuck radio broadcasting station, W. L. S., because of his appreciation of the fine arts. To measure this man with his achievements as an executive would be incomplete without an insight of his domiciliary achievements. Music is one of his hobbies, the Cello being his instru- ment, which he plays with a master's touch. He knows no idlenessg his vacation consists of man- ual labor on his fruit farm in Michigan. All of these things contribute to the man we know as our principal, lVlr. H. V. Church. l7l
