Dedication When the dedication of a yearbook is to be made, many things must be taken into consideration. These things range from a sincere interest in the students and the college to an active participation in the various facets of life. There are many such people to be-found on the Pfeiffer campus; this year we have chosen a man who excels in varied as- pects of life. He is known for the concrete interest he has taken in the justice of decisions relating to students; many students, whether or not he is their teacher, have found in him a friend when they really needed one. He is at home in any situation, varying from the political to the intellectual. Because of his wealth of experience in so many things, he is a much sought after speaker for civic organizations. A native of Bryson City, he attended the United States Naval Academy where he was a member of the football squad. He also wrestled professionally for several years. His B.A. and M.A. degrees were earned from Appalachian State Teachers’ College in 1949 and 1951 respectively. He has always taken a vital interest in politics and served in the State House as a representative from Swain County. Prior to coming to Pfeiffer in 1955, he was a high school principal. At Pfeiffer he is an associate professor of business administration and serves as a coach for both the tennis and wrest- ling teams. For several summers he held the posi- tion of supervisor of the waterfront at Lake Junaluska; in this capacity he became an unofficial recruiter for Pfeiffer and was the cause of many students’ deciding to come here. Because of his interest in the school and the com- munity, he has been secretary of the Water Associa- tion which was responsible for bringing the water supply from Albemarle to Pfeiffer and has spent much time with this. At present he lives on the campus with his wife and three children. It is thus that we are proud to dedicate this, the 1963 Chimes, to a man who has been so much a part of Pfeiffer’s growth and has spent such a large por- tion of his time in the students’ interest, W. Wallace Martin. 2
