Cody athletics is a game played best by team players, certainly. But it is so much more. The COMET photographer while mixing with the crowd to photograph the sheer overwhelming pres- ence of sports discovers that mostly it is people . . . the fan shouting amidst the multitude . . . another watching alone from the sidelines. The faces in the crowd and at the sidelines are gay, happy, estatic, sad, glum, and disgusted. They are the loyal boosters sporting Cody's colors, the graduates returning to again share in Cody athletic triumph or defeat, the faculty cheering right along with Cody students. Each face varies from person to person, but all have a common denominator . . . enthusiasm and mixed emotions. Cody fans are ecstatic as their hopes for victory become points on the scoreboard. Each bursts forth with wild applause as now they feel the battle has been won.
