Mr. Schnorrbusch first came to Butler in 1961 to teach, and made an immediate mark through his vitality, good-nature, and obvious interest in his students and subject. He left in 1962 to further prepare himself by working on his master's degree at Columbia University, but returned the following year to resume his career at Butler. Many of the Seniors can remember their freshman year in Mr. Schnorrbusch’s Social Studies classes and can appreciate the time, effort and stimulating thought he offered. He was never too busy to help a student who wanted aid — or needed it. Over fhe years many Seniors were instructed thoroughly in the fundamentals of government in Mr. “S” ’s U. S. History I and II classes. He had a deep desire that his students be informed and concerned citizens. He also wanted them to be concerned human beings. We could never forget the enthusiasm that swept through his four U. S. History II classes when we learned we were foster parents to two boys and two girls. A Hopi Indian girl from New Mexico, a boy from Tanzania, a Peruvian Indian boy and a Filipino girl will all have a chance to develop physically and mentally in a way they never would have, without this aid. Mr. Schnorrbusch’s interest in young people, and his desire to help them has inspired his classes and left an indelible mark on the school. Many yearbook staffs remember Mr. Schnorrbusch for the driving energy and the stubborn determination he showed as their advisor. We all carry vivid memories of him running through the halls, directing the photographer or lecturing editors on the responsibilities of their positions. All differences were resolved with the climax of the year’s activities — the Publications Dinner — and the mutual pleasure with the result — the NUGGET. 6
