MIDSESSION 1980 For those students still wondering which career is right for them, St. Monica's attempted to provide the answer. During the last week of January, Midsession was offered to students as a sort of recuperation period after finals. It provided such classes as Body Surfing, Arts and Crafts, trips and depth studies. Also included were various career opportunity classes which let the students explore many of the possible occupations and professions available to them. During the week of Midsession 1980, St. Monica students could be found almost anywhere. There was the annual trip to Yosemite, a trip south of the border to Mexico City and Acapulco, and another group of students spent their week touring California college campuses. Depth study classes were an important part of Midsession Week. The depth studies were basically academic, according to Mrs. Cheri Blackburn, co-director of Midsession. They were also different types of classes than are normally offered in the average curriculum, ranging from Film Criticism to Machine Calculators. A big THANK YOU to Sister Katherine Jean and Mrs. Cheri Blackburn for all the hard work they did to make this a great week for all of us. 32
