This film, produced 1n 1965-66 by the Women's Recreation Association at Western Washington State College (now Western Washington University), depicts various activities in which women could partake at Western.

Shown in the film are field hockey (see if you can recognize where the game is being played), basketball, badminton, hiking, skiing at Mount Baker and boating to the WRA's Viqueen Lodge on Sinclair Island in the San Juan Islands. Viqueen Lodge is now owned by the Associated Students of WWU.

The film comes from the records of the Physical Education, Health and Recreation Department at WWU. It was digitized from the original 16mm film in 2009.
