6ll l g . flue On May 3, Empehites welcomed their new principal, Harry L. Tate. Mr. Tate has been the principal of high schools in several towns of Illinois, and was city superintendent of schools at Plano, Illinois. He has taught at Culver Military Academy in Indiana, Morton High in Cicero, Illinois, and several Chicago high schools, among these Marshall, Tilden Tech, Hirsch and Hyde Park. Before coming to Morgan Park, he was principal of the Fort Dearborn grammar school. Our new principal is really an all 'round guy. He has taught history, mathematics, English, Latin, physics, bookkeeping and accounting. As proof of his versatility, he has coached football, baseball, basketball and track. He is hoping to repeat the football championship of l933, when, according to him, we had a wonderful team. In the short time he has been here, Mr. Tate has won over the students with his friendliness and affability of manner. They in turn have gained his full co-operation and support of the Student Court and Student Association, which he thinks represent a high degree of school citizenship. He particularly admires the frankness of the students and the sincere spirit of fellowship at Morgan Park. Page 5
