The ben- efits gained through the sports me- dia are of great importance in all phases of student development. lt is through athletics that the student can most easily observe his devel- opment and efforts toward the achievement of a significant goal. An individual must set his sights on the attainment of a certain plateau. If he fails to do this the result will invariably be intellectual and phy- sical stagnation. The well-rounded student cannot afford to restrict him- self solely to the pursuit of aca- demic distinction. The competitive nature of athletics enables the stu- dent to reflect on his own achieve- ments as compared to the achieve- ments of his peers. Educational de- velopment is often stimulated through this process of reflection.

The student's devel- opment is greatly influenced by the ideas and opinions which he encounters. The dis- cussion and exchange of ideas affords the student an opportunity to make decisions and to develop a measure of emotional stability. The ability to establish a place for himself in the social life of the high school is still anoth- er facet of the well-rounded student. IP? ' 'lklfgiin 44.
