Coach Sarno trains the boys so that they may make the varsity team in their junior and senior years. We cer- tainly hope that the lads who made up this year's Jay Vee team will make the Varsity and keep up the fine tradition of victory which Saunders-Commerce has established.

. . Basketball This year's Commerce Jay Vee Basketball Team, led by Coach Gene Whittington, had a very successful year. Even though they lacked height, they scored the important points and won five straight games. Ted Purcher scored twenty-two points in one game and Joe Dessesow scored fifteen in another. Sturdy Doug Lathan and fast moving John Manning helped add to the team's success. Chet Toone has been known to bring down everything off the boards except the paint, and with a good bench, Coach Whittington hopes to reach new heights in his '59 court campaign.

Golf The Commerce High Golf Club is composed of three teams that compete with the other high schools in the city. Only those students who are out- standing in the game of golf are chosen by Mr. Dari, the golf chairman and coach, to rep- resent our school on the golf course. The game of golf is not like other sports because it re- quires knowledge first and then continual practice to develop playing ability. Left to right, Row 1.' R. Dix, D. Magilton, J. Mattarazzo, G.
