' Soul Train ' hauls North teams Ishmel Johnson-Bey was raised in Columbus and at- tended Columbus High School. In the past, he has sold cars and farmed nearly 200 acres, but by the students at North he ' s known for driving the soul train . Mr. Johnson-Bey first began driving a school bus as a substi- tute driver for the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corpora- tion, but for the past 10 years he has been transporting stu- dents to and from school every day. He is also the principal driver who transports the stu- dents involved in extra-curricu- lar activities to their destina- tion. He drives for several athletic teams, speech meets, and he will serve as a speech meet judge if the competition calls for one. In his spare time, Mr. John- son-Bey enjoys snowmobiling, fishing and boating. He also drives on the 4-H fair ' s demoli- tion derby circuit on a regular basis. His racing hobby began in 1974 while he was working at Noll Motors. According to Mr. Johnson-Bey, We had an old clunker that nobody wanted to drive, so I decided I ' d do it. During the summer, Mr, John- son-Bey farms nearly 200 acres where he raises both livestock and puts in a crop. When asked what he attrib- utes his popularity to, he re- plied, It ' s puzzling. While I ' m driving I can ' t be really friendly with kids because of discipli- nary problem reasons. About three years ago the basketball team started calling my bus the ' soul train ' . I guess that ' s where it all began. Left: Mr. IshmelJohnson-Beyisoneof the most popular bus drivers at North. Administratioa 23
