Charac- Ter denoTes loyalTy and moral courage acquired Through selT discipline, leadership denoTes accepTance oT responsibiliTy, decision and iniTiaTive. The only Time aThleTics can be iusTiTied in The school curriculum is when ToTal developmenT is Taking place noT only in The aThleTics buT in The whole sTudenT body as well.
