Watts, a prominent banker and the mayor of the city of Buffalo, David J. Watt, a ranchman and stocitman of Johnson Countyg Wilbur F.

THE FOREMAN is one of the most im- portant characters connected with the ranch. He devotes the greatest part of his time to help solve the problems of each member of the outfit, and does all in his power toward making our ranch one of the best in the country-one where we can find pleasure, enjoyment, and knowledge, and where the habits of successful individuals can be acquired to aid in the journey through life, be it one in thc wide open spaces or among the bright lights. Under his guidance, the home ranch has been made into one which any community should be proud to call a possession. In addition to the many duties he had as foreman, Mr. Strother assisted with the coaching of athletics and su- pervised the work of the N. Y. A. boys. He graduated from Wesleyan Col- lege in Kentucky with a B. S. degree and obtained his M A de ree at C0 . . . . g , lumbia University. He has been fore- man of the outfit since 1931, having served as athletic coach here for eight years previous to that time. MR STROTHER P Mr. Strother's influence reached beyond the ranch, he was president of the Northwest District Athletic Association and belonged to the state board foi ex alu ating high schools. Had it not been for Mr. Strother's influence and inspiring attitude, we would not be entering the society of the world with the firm foundation of knowledge cx perience, and habits with which we seniors leave Johnson County High School
