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.

Sumner Academy's first semi- formal evening dance was held on November 3, 1978. Appropriately titled, THE BEGINNING, it cap- tured the spirit of our new school. It was held in place of a Homecoming dance and provided a valuable atmosphere for students to get acquainted. Many attended the event and watched as Diana Diaz and Michael Higgins were crowned Queen and King. The cafeteria was equipped with decorations, refreshments and a disc jockey, courtesy of Pep Club sponsoring. All danced while ohaperones looked on.
