Training to a higher degree of style and stamina, the team proved that their strength could lie not only in the remaining veterans but in several new, unseasoned swimmers. Opposing Imaculata first, the girls swam right by to a close but decisive victory of 65-58. Uncertain of their next meet with renowned Redford tankers, unbeaten by Cody for two seasons, the Comettes fell behind in their wake, but not until they had thrashed through their most impressive performance against the Huskies. Swimming Mumford third, they glided on through easy waters, 75-35 and as the mermaids met Cooley next, they continued to build up their outstanding record for the season, surpassing the Cardinals, 67-55. Scheduled to swim their last meet against Mackenzie, the girls faced opposition unbeaten by Cody for three seasons. But the stags only staggered and fell before Comette skill as they proudly recorded the most glorified win of a season of many victories. One hundred three

The Boys' Golf Team faced 1958 opposition early in spring expecting a season in the rough. The course of play did not follow expectation, however, as Cody captured the West Side League title and placed second in the city. In Mackenzie territory and on home soil, they drove double victories over Stag opposition in the first matches of scheduled play. Successive victories over Cooley and Redford followed for Cody golf enthusiasts. Final wins over Wright and Cass Tech climaxed an undefeated season. Cody then out-swung Pershing for a victory in the first round of the final play-offs and a chance to try for the city title. Finally meeting their match, Come clubbers failed to drive home a victory over a dynamic University of Detroit squad, to place second in the Metropolitan League. In an exact stereotype of previous season's efforts, the 1958 Boys' Tennis Team won three games in league competition while losing four. Breaking a 3-3 tie with Mackenzie, they swung ahead to claim the first victory of the season. Cody then netted successive victories over Southwestern and Chadsey. Expectations dimmed as the boys lost to Western, Cooley, Cass Tech and Redford in the final four matches of play. One hundred five
