Sports are a vital part of the school, not only because they physically tone students, but because they give the school publicity through the newspa­ pers.
Sports emphasize team efforts, thus working with other people becomes necessary. Whether a person is a starter or a third string player he or she is part of a team which is the most important part.
Excelling in sports becomes very im­ portant to juniors and seniors because many colleges look at a student’s athle­ tic background when considering him or her for acceptance.
Sports require players to strive for personal goals: to be a member of that varsity team, to be appointed to an all- state team, to be the BEST.
