Ir Frank Malambrl Mrs Mary Irvin Mr Larry Wittig Many of PV,s students eventually enjoy the ac- tivities of the Performing Arts department either as a spectator during assemblies, plays and concerts or as an active participant. There were changes this year to offer the student a more specific approach to the arts. Other changes were in the drama department with the acquisition of a new teacher and a new class. Mrs. Mary Irvin, drama instructor, came to PV after three years of teaching drama at Greenway Middle School. She began teaching a stagecraft class designed to help those students interested in the technical aspects of theater such as set design, set building, lighting and directing. Mr. Frank Malambri, department chairman, Mr. Larry Wittig and Mrs. Mary Irvin work hard all year to provide the students the best education possi- ble which includes learning, timing, concentration and coordination.

Three new teachers taught in the department this year. Miss Susan Reich taught Freshman English, Sophomore and Junior English first semester. Ms. Beth Archibald taught Freshman English and Mrs. Jean Klingler taught two reading classes. There was also a new teacher added second semester, Mrs. Kay Spisto taught English 5-6. The new classes introduced into the curriculum this year included English 5-6, Applied Writing Skills, Language and Meaning, Gifted Freshman English, and Freshman and Junior English B. This year the Foreign Language department was combined with the English department. The reason for this, said Mr. Ortega, is there aren't enough students taking Spanish and French because of the required classes taken instead.
