Kathleen “Kitty” Bartl was a 1942 graduate of New Ulm High School. She married Dr. Harvey O’Phelan, and they had a happy life together until she died in 1990. Dr. O’Phelan subsequently established a scholarship fund in her memory, doing this through a donation to The New Ulm Community Fund (predecessor to NUAFI). His stipulations were that the distributions go towards a scholarship for graduates of New Ulm High School. Further, he indicated the recipient should be in good academic standing, though not necessarily the top student, and that he/she should be involved in some type of extracurricular activity, such as sports, drama, or music.
