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.

Jumping and yelling in rhythmic form they gave out with ringing shouts and peppy cheers to enthuse both Cody partisans and participants.

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.
