Career Day af Speedway High School in I969 On May 1, 1969, as in the past, Speedway was holding a Career Day to help the students decide what they would like to do in the future, Seems as though the class of 1954 just couldn't stay away from Speedway High Schoolg some had retumed to teach while others had come to talk to students on different subjects. On hand to welcome back his classmates was George Thompson, now principal of Speedway, replacing his fa- ther who retired in 1960. Sarah lNewsomei Seeley, al- though she has three children of her own, is a substitute, teaching classes in Grade School No. 4. Among the new subjects offered to the students is agriculture, taught by Carleton Toole, an expert on farming. Nancy Long, who took Miss Knittel's place as principal's secretary, tries to help George keep the school books straight and sometimes helps Mrs. Hine's bookkeeping students with their prob- lems. After her graduation from Butler University Ann Healey has taken over Mr. Foland's job as business educa- tion teacher. Bud Green, owner of the Rev'n Rod Used Car Lot, was telling boys and girls las usuall about the finer points of salesmanship. Now co-owners of the Indiana Bell Tele- phone Company, Phyllis Nuetzman and Shirley Moore told the students about the short hours and very high wages they'd receive at Indiana Bell. Dick Gose, owner of the Eat Well at Gose's Drive Inn, that now sits where the ever-loving Speedway Inn did back in 1954, was telling the boys how to start their own businesses. That well-known interior decorator, Miss Phyllis Rob- bins, was lecturing the Home Economics Department on the practical ways of interior decorating. After years of hard work and study at Indiana State Teachers College Joann Farley has taken Miss Kohlenberger's place as Home- making advisor. She says that she allows her students to doodle in class, this means letters or otherwise. Talking to the future society women of America were those well- known society leaders, Miss Sue Zink and Miss Donna Shultz, graduates of Stephens College. The twins Marilyn and Carolyn Quillin were giving beauty hints to the girls. The twins are now featured on the Arthur Godfrey show as Which twin has the Toni? Wayne Armentrout, the famous foreign correspondent, was lecturing the journalism class on the proper way of writing articles for Miss Spencer. While in Balla Balla, West Australia, Wayne contracted a very rare blood dis- ease and was treated by the world's greatest and most famous woman doctor, Miss Marjorie Flanagan. The de- bating team of Miss Judy Harris and Miss Diana Lennie was relating the fine points of debating to the English de- partment now headed by that perfect English teacher, Miss Marilyn Thomas. Dave Gross, who took Jackie Gleas- on's place, was searching for new talent for his show. In the field of science Bruce Kelley -and John Weddle told students of their research, John about his search for atoms and Bruce about his search. Marshall Dishon, the famous manager of Marshall's Mad Monsters lnew Hell-Drivers actl, was telling the boys of his new racing rocket of tomorrow. Bob Stierwalt and Gene Duffin, known for their daring stunt flying, will be the first lucky men to test Mr. Dishon's new racing rocket. To the future pharmacists of America, Duncan Mitchell and Charles Bische, owners of Mitchell and Bische Drugs, the main hang-out of the students, told about the proper ways of mixing medicines. Jim Farley, known all over the country for his fine construction work, just completed a very fabulous gym- nasium with a swimming pool under the gym floor for the ll. iii. PROPHETS Marshall Dishon, Phyllis Robbins students' gym classes. Teaching the new class of swim- ming is Miss Joan Marvel, holder of the world's record for swimming the English Channel three times in only five minutes. Mike Poland was giving the track team a few pointers on how to broad jump 30 feet by just taking one step. The football coach, Jim Howard, was telling the boys about the hard work they should do during the sum- mer if they expected to play on his All Star Team next year. Don Jones who became social studies teacher was living up to Mr, Weller's ways of telling little funnies to his History and Government classes, about things that had happened to him while driving a bakery truck for the Praed Bakery, owned by the famous do-nut maker, Miss Mary Praed. Mike Anger, now president of the United Nations, told the students of his many experiences as he conquered communism. Patty Slater and Myla Stage, lndiana's great- est social workers, were telling students of their ideas of future betterment for Indiana. Meanwhile in the music department students were listening to that opera star, Miss Jody Lily Ponds Piper, as she sang Punky Pumpkin from the opera which made her famous Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater. Miss Piper was accompanied by the highly respected vibraharpist, Miss Jacquie Loffland, who later played her rendition of I Walk Alone. Ted Breen and Jim McDaniels, who are known all over the world for their big hunting trips to Africa and Asia, were relating the finer points of how to trap a wild animal to the young ambitious hunters of tomorrow. Pam Owings and Bob Howard told students about the wild lands of Alaska and wanted volunteers from the senior class to go back with their party to venture further into the cold ter- ritory. Ray Smith was telling the boys in shop class about his new invention of saws that will cut through wood and metal but would not cut off a finger or an arm. That wealthy Texas oil man, Mr. Ronny Albright, was telling the students of his new oil pump invented by George Dryer. For those who planned and even those who didn't plan upon a career in Uncle Sam's armed forces, Keith Bard- ing and Rod Dolson were telling the boys of the fine fu- ture they would have if they joined this lwonderfull or- ganization. Anne Blair, Speedway's Drivers' training teacher, telling the students of the new cars that have steering wheels you can see over, brought the I969 Career Day to a close. So once again the men and women of the class of 1954 had their last day of school for quite some time.
