The orientation team, headed by Sam Misenheimer and Kim Glacklin, was a strongly bonded group that helped with suitcases, trunks, and whatever else that seemed to find its way to Pfeiffer. Orientation also includes many dances sponsored by AMS, AWS, and RLC, that seem to attract many freshmen and transfers. There are also many seminars, refreshments, and a trip sponsored solely by RLC. Many friendships are made and this is the most important time for freshmen and new upperclassmen students to feel welcomed and secure. Orientation is indeed an important part of the Pfeiffer difference. Qualifications for the Chairman of Orientation is a process of signing up and coming before the Executive council of SGA. This chairman or co-chairmen will then be in a group of selecting those they feel will express the outgoing personality of Pfeiffer. This team, along with counselors, RD’s, and Student Affairs will then welcome and entertain our new students the week before classes resume. 57 Homecoming 1984 ...

Dr. West had been on the Pfeiffer history faculty from 1968 until his retirement. He coached the Falcon Men's tennis squads from 1968-70 and 1983-84. Quite a tennis player himself. West had played in the U.S. Open at Forest Hills, the Texas Open, and the North Carolina Seniors Tournament. He won the Texas Open and was the N.C. Seniors champion seven times. But more importantly, he won our hearts. 1984-85 marked the year Pfeiffer College made it national debut on ABC s 'Good Morning, America program.

So from day one the pressure was on. But being of sound mind and body, we undertook this vast project; and things were running smoothly, at first. We raised additional funds to allow for special supplements to the book. Then, with the resignation of Mr. Larry Sides, we were set back in production for about four months, but with the new ICP representative, this yearbook has finally been published. Publication would not have been possible without the determination and encouragement of Debbie Estes, our advisor, and our faithful staff. To all of these people and to those of you who have supported us throughout this ordeal, we say thank you. We ask you to take these things into consideration as you look back over this yearbook and to look now at the most important part of this centennial year; the way we have taken the past and blended it with the present to produce an image of what we think Pfeiffer College is ... The Past and the Present, but most importantly people like you and me. Thank you.
