Cody linksmen practiced from nine to eighteen holes a day to pave the way for the matches that followed. Dur- ing the 1957 season consisted primarily the challenges presented by Redford, Cooley, and University of Detroit High, but emerged from a three game losing streak to come up with their first win over Catholic Central in non-league com- petition. Cody clubbers continued to rally at the close of the season, and out- swung both Cass Tech and Mumford. The Boys' Tennis squad losing their first three games last year to Mumford, Chadsey, and Cooley, bounced back for their first victory over Southwestern. After being defeated by Redford, their next opponent, they closed the 1957 season with wins over Western and Mackenzie. F iffy-one

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.

F i fty-two SCOVF. lt's one of the H1051 popular events of half time at all football games. The time when school cheerleaders combine squads for Yea Team and a friendly Hello. Here Cody and Western girls participate in a sportsmanlike manner to produce better sportsmanship between schools. - ii .,-- Y - ,A -tat Our teams' most loyal boosters, Cody's cheerleaders, inspired everyone with their dynamic pyrotechnics. Jumping and yelling in rhythmic form they gave out with ringing shouts and peppy cheers to enthuse both Cody partisans and participants. These high-pitched human dynamos reveled even through icy sheets of rain, cold stinging winds, or soggy masses of slippery mud to implore Cody's teams to go all the way! Added to the squad this year was student manager Fred Rockwood who, with flash cards and megaphone, helped to generate the response from Cody fans into a crescendo of sound. Also, striving alway to improve its cheerleading routines, the squad represented Cody at the Michigan High School Athletic Association Cheerleading Clinic held annually in Ypsilanti. Snappy new tech- niques were acquired and later introduced at football and basketball pep rallies and games. The cheerleaders shedded their bulky knit sweaters during the basketball season for more comfortable indoor uniforms. In white ivy-league shirts, smart gray weskits and trim white tennis shoes, they wound up the school year in spectacular fashion. Capturing the cries of Cody's cheerleaders was a Detroit Times photographer at the Northwestern basketball game They whooped and hollered even though their team was being defeated by a lop sided
