Emphasis was placed on individual-type activities, such as canoeing and archery, rather than on team oriented sports. The program was designed to meet Minnesota requirements for transfer to a four-year college. Intramurals were a popular way for students to become involved in sports last year. Plans were underway to pro- vide additional teams in basketball, softball and co-educa- tional football and to stimulate student interest in these areas. The Physical Education classes at RCC reflected the growing national trend toward physical fitness and increased exercise. -1 .Pb 1 , Q Ted Gunnarson Lynn King John Philo Juliette Siem Mr. Lynn King CCENTERJ helps tally an unofficial cross country team score 'in- 'sill' , , 'kwa 7 .qw
