RICHARD F. SCHNORRBUSCH 1933-1968 THE PROFILE OF A HUMANITARIAN A dark cloud hung low over Butler High School on Monday, December 2. It was with shock and disbelief that the Administration, Faculty, and Students learned of the death of Mr. Richard Schnorrbusch. Mr. Schnorrbusch was a fine teacher who was deeply dedicated to his profession. His teaching methods were proficient, resourceful, and effective. He insisted upon quality because he felt, “That’s what they’re here for.” Fair in his judgment, Mr. Schnorrbusch had respect for the feelings and the opinions of others. He strongly believed in, and practiced, the theory of democracy. An argument was never settled, or an issue decided upon, until all viewpoints were examined. In settling an issue, the majority always ruled even if their decision was contrary to his own views. Likeable in character, Mr. Schnorrbusch possessed a great love of life. Often, he was seen walking happily down the hall, smiling and sometimes having a friendly word with those passing by. Kindness and consideration for all people, were two of the fine qualities he possessed. Mr. Schnorrbusch readily helped those who sought his aid and advice. Another of his attributes was a sense of responsibility, which he felt vital and important for all to acquire. Mr. Schnorrbusch will be sadly missed, but not forgotten. The shock and disbelief will disappear in time, but not the feeling that someone very dear and important is missing. Now we must start where he left off and follow the fine example he has set for all of us. In doing so, we shall be creating the greatest tribute that could ever be paid to him. Mr. Schnorrbusch greatly admired John F. Kennedy. One of John Kennedy’s favorite verses is contained in a scene from “Camelot.” This verse has been used in describing the late President, however, it could also describe Mr. Schnorrbusch. “Don’t let it be forgot That once there was a spot For one brief shining moment That was known as Camelot.”
