Practice makes perfect GIRLS GAIN EVEN RECORD Swimming, always a favorite sport with the girls at Cody, did not diminish in popularity this year. In fact, so many girls came out for the sport this season that Cody had a team composed of some of the best swimmers in the school. Cody took part in six scheduled meets, opposing Mackenzie, Southwestern, Eastern, Cooley, Western, and Mumford. Losing their first meet, the Comet mermaids were far from disheartened, and proceeded to drown Southwestern, 73-42, and Eastern, 88-34. After losing to Cooley, the girls showed their usual fighting spirit and splashed to victory over Western, 70-50. In the final meet the girls were defeated by Mumford, 72-44, closing the season with a three win, three loss record. The girls practiced frequently and diligently, with the result that we had a team of which Cody could be proud. seventy-two GIRLS' SWIMMING TEAM...Front Row: C. Schneider, J. Mackie, L. Sem- mens, D.

Four Wins-Four Losses COMETS STREAK TO SPLIT SEASON Stroking their way through watery trails with churning zeal, Cody's swimming team submerged half of their competition this season. The combined talents of the tanksters provided Cody with suFlicient competitive strength to be considered a threat to west side league teams. The developing precision and coordination of each swimmer could be seen during the season as the Comets streaked through the water against their opponents. Two of Cody's swimmers, Bill Knechtges and Don Rothermel became the first to qualify for the Metropolitan League swimming championships. The swimmers closed the season with a four wins and four losses record. seven ty-one

THINCLADS OUTDISTANCED Long strides and hard workouts were the requirements of the high stepping Comet distance runners as they entered competition last fall. Lacking in veteran personnel, the team captured only one of its scheduled meets. Building for next year's competition, Coach Holmes tried to develop individual ability, the effort and promise of our team earning respect from our opponents even though the Comets trailed throughout the season. With a futuramic team taking shape, Cody hopes to enter keen competition in their quest for victory next year. 'J-,, Z,:a-j.a,?:..2f.1f3,2'2:'Z.sE'f:5f.?.?52':r ' - sg, , M .
