The environmenTal TacTors sur- rounding The sTudenT exerT a profound influence on his personaliTy and menTal reacTions. The sTudenTs oT Elk Grove High School are TorTunaTe in The physical aspecTs of The school buildings and grounds. The care and main- Tenance oT These has been The responsibiliTy of The cusTodians, Mr. Marshall Coons and Mr. E. A. Allen. ConsTanTly alerT and ever diligenT in repairing and prevenTing damage and deTerioraTion, These good Triends oT The sTudenT body have earned The sincere Thanks and graTiTude of The enTire school and disTricT. Under The able managemenT OT Mr. Wm. Lunn, a TleeT oT seven buses has conveyed The maioriTy of The sTudenTs To and Trom school. This branch oT school service is of paramounT imporTance, since nineTy per cenT of The sTudenTs require TransporTaTion. A com- peTenT corps oT drivers, consTanT waTchTulness and upkeep oT all equipment and The acidiTion of a new sTreamlined sTreeT car Type bus, one oT The TirsT To be adopTed Tor school use, have proved This deparTmenT a successful asseT To The disTricT.
