qua scores on g one uicfory The 1958 basketball season was almost an exact stereotype of previous campaigns for Comette Cagers. Posting a roster of many returning veterans, expecta- tions were high before the season commenced. However, seasoned performers did little to boost the year's record of one win and six defeats against scheduled com- petition. Cody lost to Redford in the season opener but re- bounded to score their first win of the season in a non- league encounter with St. Alphonsus.,The tables turned again, however, as Mackenzie and Central totaled winning scores to trip Cody 51-20 and 29-15, respectively. The Comettes lost the next two games to Northwestern and Southwestern also, but their determined spirit to win could not be overlooked as they were defeated first by only a single basket and second by just three points. Falling to Mumford, 50-26, in their last game, Cody rounded out a season of defeats. A game of close body-checking, basketball has its hazards too. Cager Pete Gilliam learns the hard way as she falls to the floor in an attempt to recover the ball for Cody. All eyes were on the mark as Comet Cager Mary Rea shoots to narrow the margin of the Mackenzie game. F orty-seven

Comette swimmers stroked their way through rough waters this season as they followed in the wake of previous Cody squads. Stiff competition dunked Cody's hopes for a better dual meet record early in the 1958 schedule. Neighboring Mackenzie gave Cody its first taste of defeat as for the second straight year Stag mermaids downed Comette swimmers in their first scheduled en- counter. Meeting Highland Park next, we again lost out to last year's winners, 68-55. A tri-meet with Cooley and Mackenzie squads gave Cody the edge over rival Cooley but we again failed to triumph over Stag opposition. Leaving Western trailing in our wake, Cody won its first dual meet of the season, 93-30. In our next tri-meet we stroked ahead of Mumford to place second, but Redford took first place honors again this year. The Southwestern meet concluded an in and out season for Comette swim- mers. Although this year's squad consisted primarily of unseasoned performers, the girls surpassed several pool and team records. Diver .lennie liartott cuts the air like a human jack knife in one of her regulation dives in the meet with Highland Park. Putting forth every ounce of energy, a Cody swimmer strokes to the turning block, determined to pull ahead of rival opponents. Forty-mne
