HB had a thing for urine as a kid, IRCC - urolagnia or urophilia. He looks primed for peeing on something in that HS photo with classmates.
More reading, if posted previously, apologies:
Perhaps it was that same German-Hoosier work ethic that propelled Dr. Herbert E. Baumeister through medical school, then from the modest suburbs of Butler-Tarkington where his children were born throughout the 1940s and 50s to the Northern suburbs of Washington Township. He provided a comfortable life for his four children, who all appeared to be happy kids.
That was, until his eldest, also named Herb, began to have some trouble fitting in as a young man. He showed an interest in dead animals and gory subjects, repelling friends. He had urinated on a teacher’s desk, and then left a dead crow that he’d found on the playground on the same desk. He had outbursts in class. Teachers contacted his parents for help.
Ultimately, he was diagnosed with a combination of schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder. It’s unclear what kind of treatment they sought to help little Herb, but shock therapy was the most popular remedy of the day. He returned to some semblance of normalcy for a few years, though still ostracized from friends because of his macabre interests. Herb enrolled in Indiana University in 1965, but dropped out in his first semester, repeating the pattern again in 1967 at his father’s behest. During his second failed attempt at college, Herb met his future wife, Julie, whom he would marry in 1971 — the same year Herb’s father had him involuntarily committed for undisclosed reasons.
MOO
