The
motto
selected
for
the
Rup-Rec
emblem,
"Fitness
First"
to
be
properly
understood,
must
be
given
a
broad
Interpretation,
It
is
customary,
when
fitness
is
mentioned
to
Interpret
the
word
In
Its
narrowest
sense,
i.e.
physical
fitness.
To
do
this
is
to
miss
the
'true
meaning
of
the
motto
entirely.
The
dictionary
definition
of
fitness
is:
"conforming
to
a
standard
of
right,
duty,
taste
or
propriety."
This
is
the
Rup-Rec
interpretation.
For
our
purpose
fitness,
is
fourfold
including
physical
fitness.
social,
fitness,
mental
fitness
and
physical

it

three

In

i
Rup-Rec
will
always
have

supply
of
talented
people
to
direct
its
activities.
In

year
of

we
chose
instructors
at
the,
close
of
the
Fall
Leaders'
Training
Course
on
the
basis
of
ability
and
previous
training.
,In
this

we
were
extremely
fortunate
In

a

members
who
-had
had
previous
training
in
Pro-Rcc
Classes
in
iPrince

In

The

such
outstanding
work
In
the
Junior

classes,
the
Ladies'
Gymnastic
classes
and
the

are
Mrs.

The
fully

for

are

Mrs.

was
born
in

-When
she

she

with

a

from
8
years
as
a
member
of
the

sponsored

the
Dept.
of

In

Apart
from
excelling
at

Mrs.

of

5

In.

was
one
of
the
star-players
of
the

All
of
which
goes
to
prove
the
.point
that
the
co

timing,
flexibility;
and
grace
which
Is
built
up
through
fundamental
gymnastics
has
a
definite
carry-over
to

Ellleen

and
was

When

due
to

for

Ellleen
turned
to
badminton,

she
Is
