Explorers One of the most popular and energetic clubs here at Bellefontaine is the Explorer Post. The explorer program fits in very well with sem- inary life since it promotes good leadership and respon- sibility in the individual members. Fifty-two young men who meet twice a month to discuss their activity plans constitute Post lOl. These explorers T contribute much of their time and hard work to the success of the post. The activities this year in- cluded several hikes to Bear Town Mountain, a trip to the Explorer Officers: Mr. Mendel, Michael Perry, Fr. Krah, Edward Prybylski, Walter Springfield Hall of Fame, Lukasik, and Robert Piemock. and a day at the armory. All m ft these trips will lead up to a super activity in which some of the explorers will partici- pate at the end of the year. Our Explorer Post helps these young men to grow with the riddles of nature and aids them in overcoming the many obstacles which one confronts in the wilderness.
