The warmth of a friendly handclasp is a gesture of goodwill as Cody R.O.T.C. officers are welcomed by Canadian cadets on the Ambassador Bridge linking the two countries on Canada's R.O.T.C. Field Day. Commanding honor and military respect. for their achievements, Cody's R.O.T.C. cadets cap- tured second place in the year's tally of all com- petition and was selected as an R.O.T.C. Honor School. Our cadet fifteen placed at the top of the M-1 Competition last spring, winning the Military Order of the Purple Heart Trophy, for the best time in disassembling and assembling the M-1 Carbine Rifle. A year of rigid military routine was climaxed in April as the cadets looked forward to the annual Military Ball. Last year's record of top awards in all marks- manship competition served as an incentive for the eleven out of fifteen new hopefuls composing this year's Rifle Team. The Comet Sharpshooters Club, sponsored by Sgt. Netherton and Inspector Reed, awarded members marksmanship medals for record achievement. F i fty-seven

Mr. Melvyn Smith, COMET adviser, reminded his staff frequently to be resourceful and imaginative. Gretchen Roberts was Editor-in-Chief of the 1958 COMET. She has also achieved for her dedicated staff work the Outstanding Publication Service Medal and the Successful Editor Award plaque. Coming in on a wave of medalist winners, the 1958 COMET Staff was faced with the challenge of producing an even better yearbook, the best COMET ever. The staff was new, very new. But in the end we were all battle-weary veterans. Undermanned from the very start, the staff grew to rely a great deal upon our apprentices. Deadlines created the greatest pressures. As time of publication grew near the days seemed to grow shorter, the nights longer as we worked together inseparably with one purpose in mind, to make the 1958 COMET a reality. Some of us will cherish the comradeshipg others will remember only the hard work, aggravation and frustration. And yet, despite upsets in office routine and the rearranging of production schedules, we eventually achieved our goal. The 1958 COMET represents the proud accomplishments of every dedicated staff member.
