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!

Eligibility for Cody's lettermen's club was opened to varsity letter winners in various team sports. The C Club planned to take an educational trip through the Detroit Police Crime Laboratory in the spring. Other events on their calendar included selling Utrackmen pins, attending a track meet at Ypsilanti, and buying poplin varsity jackets. Membership in the Girls' Athletic Association was available to every girl at Cody, but only regular participation in its' group activities gave our co-eds the benefits of athletic fellowship. The G.A.A. sponsored a Freshie Coke in the fall to encourage interest in girls' athletics. Activities included selling candied apples, potato chips, and candy bars at all home games. At the close of the 1958 sports year, the C Club and the G.A.A. sponsored and planned a Sports Banquet honoring all Cody athletes who earned varsity letters in Metropolitan League Competition during the school year.
