Most served as resources to assist both administration and student body in better understanding the subject matter. The science equipment, the typewriters, and rental in- , struments in the music department are some of the apparatus offered. Not only is equipment offered, but also there are resource centers, such as the language labs, library, gym, and the art rooms. Using equip- ment can help the students to experience what they are studying. Therefore, resources play a large part in education, and Sumner provides much of the needed equipment for students' satisfaction.

Enthusiasm Runs High in Activities The student body at Sumner managed to become involved in a number of the varying activities this year. Whether it was football, French club or drama the students responded in great numbers when given the chance to participate in these activities. Because of the sizes of clubs the students were more able to meet new friends and have a good time. This helped make the ex- tracurricular activities at Sumner more interesting. Students and teachers alike also became fans and attended the many athletic events at Sumner to show their enthusiasm. tj Monica Sutton, eighth grader, shows her tennis ability on sports day, sponsored by the Pep Club. 25 Mr. Marsh, math teacher gives time after school to help Robert Rechtien on a dif- ficult assignment. 33 The Sophomore cheerleaders spent much time after school practicing to be well prepared for athletic events. 45 The school library can be a valuable place to study, as Mary Parks, eighth grader finds. 5l Looking forward to a free afternoon after school is Irene Diaz, Sophomore, 65 As principal, Mr. Neill was always available to discuss problems with students.
