St. Paul's is like a clock, a system of many different machines which work together to provide an education for its students. The Trustees and the administration are the spring, providing the power for the machine to work. This is the portion of the clock that is usually not considered when people speak of St. Paul's School. This is the Physical Plant - a group of people dedicated to keeping St. Paul's and the grounds around it in ticking. This is the clock's case.
Every worker has a log in which they document each job they perform.
They share these with each other. Mrs. Boyd knows pretty much everything about the work that occurs in the Physical Plant. Her office, located in the first room inside the door, allows her to observe all the comings and goings of the Plant. A window-installed air conditioner sits in its sill. The office has an atmosphere unlike the rest of the building.
