who later wrote a book in honor of Sulsberger entitled "His Name is John."
This photo was taken by Dr. Sulsberger the night two-a-day practices ended,
and after John Sulsberger had made the comment earlier that day
that the natural valley below them would make a great site for a football stadium.

John Sulsberger, a young man of vitality,
taken too soon ... but remembered forever at ZHS.
