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.

Putting forth every ounce of energy, a Cody swimmer strokes to the turning block, determined to pull ahead of rival opponents. Forty-mne

Young and inexperienced Comette golfers began match play early in the fall, but they soon were in the rough. Defeated by Cooley and Mumford in the first two games, they made a spirited comeback by outscoring their next two opponents, Highland Park and Ham- tramck.. In their last match they were beaten by a powerful Redford squad. Also Codyls Girls, Tennis Team dur- ing the 1957 season consisted primarily of unseasoned performers who had little experience in Metropolitan League competition. Thus, they fared poorly against the more experienced squads on their schedule. The Cody Co-ed team netted only one viotory last season. In their last game they smashed a 6-0 win over Chadsey. However, they suffered losses in the previous matches to Mackenzie, Cooley, Western, Redford, Highland Park, and Mumford.
