Mr. Edmisten addresses the students. Mr. Owens completes a daily bus check Jltr. C cfmis ten An A Jtfr. Owens OuiAe c5 out As Activities An administrator’s influence is infinite. In his power he has the opportunity to mold the lives of hundreds, even thousands, of students. He is looked up to, and many times his opinions, whether right or wrong, are accepted by the students under him as their own opinions. Often, his advice is accepted without question. Mr. Edmisten, along with the help of Mr. Owens, shoulders the tremendous responsi- bility of administering the affairs of a complex school with a large student body. The administration of South Mecklenburg serves in every capacity to provide a pleasant atmosphere for learning, working, and playing. Mr. Edmisten and Mr. Owens are a most vital part of South’s organization. 16
