One hundred eight Although Codyites could undoubtedly go right on yelling, screaming and cheering without someone to lead them, cheerleaders are needed to channel the fanls enthusiasm in the right way at the right time. Twelve bouncing, energetic girls, selected from over a hundred try-outs, represented Cody with their Go team, go! spirit. Whenever they led and directed the cheers from the spectators in the stands out onto the yield or court, they massively inspired Cody's teams. The majorettes served as a means of channeling enthusiasm also. They projected rhythmic routines to the fans, a spirited expression of their support of Cody's athletic teams.

school spirit and game attendance The G.A.A. and C Club worked together as booster teams, promoting and supporting Cody athletics. School spirit, game attendance and team turnouts were all given a boost by these two Cody pep squads. G.A.A. girls concluded the search begun in 1959 for a school mascot by choosing Leo the Lion to represent Cody at all athletic events. The money they earned from selling pom-poms and candy at home games purchased shelves for the girls rest rooms, skirts for the Modern Dance Club and shakeroos for the cheerleaders. A donation was also made to the United States Field Hockey Association for the 1963 International Tournament. The club selected a G.A.A. pin, which could be purchased when a member had earned twenty five points, and also established the custom of giving lifetime game passes to deserving senior members. As familiar figures in the halls and lunchroom, letter sweater clad C Club members sold booster pins to help advertise football and basketball games. Money earned this way went to the Tennis Team for jackets and into a fund for a film projector. The C Club also staged the annual Senior Faculty basketball game and co-sponsored the Sports Banquet with the G.A.A. -. Q 4- . V VARSITY C CLUB . . . Front Row: K. Matheson fsponsorl, J. Williams, L.
