Back Bringing Tradition ttI really enjoyed it. I liked the much needed break in the everyday school routineW, ex- plained Kathleen Griesmer after she was asked about Mini-Week in The Spirit. Mini-Week was a program that was reinstated by Sister Ray- nald. Joe Sisto helped organize Mini-Week along with the committee which consisted of Ms. Tucker, Mr. Meaney, and Sister Mary Jane Slaney. The organization took two months, and the result was that the students could ' choose from 27 activities. During the week of March 16-19, students could choose to participate in three ac- tivities, two in the morn- ing and one in the after- noon. Activities varied from rifle safety, to golf, to powder puff mechanics tfor girls onlyL and to many others. The most popular course was aer- obics. Senior Marianne Jones expressed, ttI really enjoyed my childbirth class, it was very excit- ingft Mini-Week only proved that learning can be enjoyable.
