Ad Building turns into toboggan run
Sometime during the weekend of Jan. 20-21, 2007, following a six-inch snowfall, Herman Bubbert reappeared on campus after a long absence. With the help of some students, he built a toboggan run on the Ad Building steps in time to welcome prospective students for an Admissions Visit Day Jan. 22. A photo of then-Bethel President Barry Bartel and now-retired Vice President for Academic Affairs John Sheriff sliding down the run (garbed in their dress shirts and ties) made the rounds of Mennonite publications and The Newton Kansan. Cardboard signposts nearby directed travelers to “Barry Bartel Bungalow,” “Patty Shelly Point,” “Convocation Cabins,” “Dale Schrag Slalom” and “Mt. Menno Simons.”
“Teacher is a Fool”
This photo from 1914 may be the only evidence that Herman Bubbert’s grandfather also went to Bethel. Does anyone remember their own grandfather (or grandmother) talking about this prank?
Herman and Wilcia sighting
Wonder where the photo is?
These snow sculptures from 1997, near the Ad Building, may be the only known physical representation of Herman Bubbert and Wilcia (née Knutz) Bubbert. But where did the sculptor find the models?
Weapon of ice destruction
Perhaps these photos, thought to be from 1960, show someone’s idea of a good way to defend the Ad Building, should it come under attack.
