Taking Aim

These five sharpshooters were very likely members of the Women’s Athletic Association (WAA) when this photo was taken circa 1935-36. The WAA, founded by Doris Chamberlain in 1925, offered approximately 23 sports, including archery, bowling, skiing and golf. The WAA used a point system for awards, had jacket winners, and gave an award for “All-Around Girl.”
