Cody High School - Comet Yearbook (Detroit, MI)

Through their active participation in the Future Nurses and Stitch and Stir Clubs, co-eds at Cody acquired social grace along with many practical homemaking skills. Obtaining an insight into the nursing pro- fession were Cody's prospective women in white as the girls charitably aided the sick and needy in Detroit hospitals. They sewed quilts and provided amusing surprises for both bed- ridden children and adults. Working closely with various nurses' organizations, the girls received Ticker Tapes each month informing them of nursing activities in and around the city. Interest in the Future Nurses Club flourished as the girls took advantage of these activities by making tours of Detroit hospitals, their wards and de- partments. The girls were given another oppor- tunity to further acquaint themselves with the nursing profession as Wayne State University representatives lectured on and presented movies of the nursing program at Wayne. Practice in making a house a home was the endeavor of the amateur homemakers active in the Stitch and Stir Club. Regardless of her chosen vocation each girl hopes for a career in home- making. Given a chance to use their homemaking talents, the girls cooked for and served at senior banquets and faculty teas. Enjoying field trips to the city's leading hotels, top fashion shows, and bakeries, the girls gained a practical under- standing of home management and poise on the job. A climax to their activity calendar was the annual June picnic held at Mrs. Sturgeon's home on Cass Lake. Seventy-six FUTURE NURSES CLUB . . . Front Row: C. Sokol fpresidentl, B.

Whirling to the strains of the March of The Wooden Soldiers and Serenata, the girls in the Modern Dance Club displayed true artistry in motion in their performance in Bandarama. Long hours were spent mastering the graces of dance for Spring and Winter Festival production numbers. Highlighting the dancers' activity calendar was the High School Dance Concert in April. In' Cody's Art Club members found an excellent medium for self- expression. They created decorations for both social events and school produc- tions during the year. Through their field trips to museums, galleries, and attendance at lectures, they discovered and practiced new techniques of modern art design. Enthusiastic thespians of the Drama Club hosted numerous theater parties to popular metropolitan theaters. When the time for the school plays approached, the members concentrated on behind the scenes activity taking part in costuming, scenery, props, and sometimes acting in the dramatic productions themselves.

Each model hopeful often went without lunch to lose a few extra pounds to acquire a svelte figure and add to their attractiveness. Along with dieting came the never failing call of exercise and more exercise. Donning leotards these energetic co-eds enthusiastically practiced countless daily routines faithfully. Trimming down one's figure however was not the only purpose of each prospective model. Soon the girls were replacing their sloucning, slanting, and stooping posture habits with graceful walking mannerisms. Wherever and whenever possi- ble the girls also practiced standing and sitting correctly to eventually create a Comette of near perfect form. Our future models were then given an opportunity to practice their newly acquired graces by providing various art classes with subjects for sketching. Seventy-seven
