YW Pl! ?E356' Q9 X New Teachers Join Staff Eight new teachers joined the school faculty in 1976-77, each making a significant contribution to the quality of education at PHS. Mrs. Teresa McMi- chael has kept the re- source room bright and cheery throughout the year with her sunny personality and attractive room de- corations. Cooking and working with plants are two of her favorite things . Portraits of students displayed in the hallways, mobiles, collages, and watercolors are all being produced by Pendleton stu- dents, a thanks to the school's first art teacher, Mrs. Carol Schwarting. To rovide instruction in the rgost basic and im- portant aspect of any stu- dent's education-reading- a teacher must possess a great deal of patience and understanding. Filling the bill at PHS is Mrs. Brenda Barton. In her first year out of Clemson University, Mrs. Rita Gillette is winning friends among the faculty by handling the overflow students from other class- es in Math and English. After three long months as a small-town policeman, Charles Bayne gave up law enforcement for the classroom. He says he wrote only one traffic ticket in his em- ployment, and feels much more suited to teaching Math at PHS. He admits to a love for comic books and rock music. After a successful col- legiate basketball career at Erskine College, Miss Mary Anne Devlin has taken the helm as coach of the PHS girls basketball team. She also handles duties as physical educa- tion instructor. Mrs. Rudene Marlowe is teaching classes in Al- gebra I and Basic Math. She also serves as faculty advisor to the Allied Youth, directing projects such as caroling at nurs- ing homes and presenting a Thanksgiving dinner to a needy family. Mrs. Opal Swaney has taken on the diEicult and often thankless job of su- pervising the study hall. She handles the task judi- ciously, but with a firm hand.
