(Andy's) March 8, Friday

Up to Fairview...met Bennie etc....got stoned. Went to Ralph's....went home.

 

On the way to Ralph's, Jackie Ranger and Bennie were yelling at each other, half in fun, half serious. Jackie called her stupid to go out with me 'cause, after asking what she wanted to do, I "told" her we were going to Ralph's. I was half-kidding, half serious.

 

Ralph's was pretty good-I was pretty stoned. I had planned to finally get into Bennie for a change-but I forgot. Oh well.......

 

March 9 Saturday

Filmed Danny, Mish, Foster, Maggie and the car out front.

 

(Andy's) March 9, Saturday

Bennie babysat again tonight.

I went to the drop-in, got stoned, split down to the Mapes where there was ABSOLUTELY SWEET FUCK-ALL TO DO.

It's still quite cold.

 

I remember going to an ugly silver wallpapered cafeteria at the Dorval shops (upstairs at the Bay) after school one day with Foster and Michelle (who were going out for awhile, as did Maggie and Tim, Maggie and Ernie, Maggie and Jeff...) (c. March )

 

March 11 Monday

John Rennie had it's first [and last?] 'streaker' [who when he was called to the office after was cheered by a crowd.

The next? day Dave was going to streak down the great hall, we were going to sneak off with his clothes. He never did. Andy and Pat dared each other, but they didn't either].

 

(Andy's) March 14, Thursday

I had made up my mind to definitely get into my girlfriend tonight. I made it up to Fairview after blowing tokes of oil with Brad and Bob. As soon as I got up there, Brian Sage (who is now going with Julie) told me Julie told her parents she was stoned. She did some mescaline and her parents noticed her eyes were strange.

 

Needless to say, Bennie was worried about her and worried that Julia's parents would phone her own. There went my plans for the night.

 

Me, Bennie and Danny went to Vees [???] on the bus (and did a toke). We had a nice walk home, anyways....

 

March 15-17 Friday-Sunday

Went to the farm with Maggie, Rob, Mish, Foster and Danny. Climbed Mt. Boge, partied on Foster's hash oil ($175 worth in three days). Smoking it on small balls of steelwool in a pipe had been discovered by now. Also mickeys of Southern Comfort (and on one of these trips (probably this one) I was very drunk (Southern Comfort was our drink of choice) and had that curse of teenagers everywhere: the spins)). On the 16th we got out the snowmobile and went crazy in the fields (Michelle was doing 360's on the ice).

 

The next morning, the 17th, we walked in the valley across the road. Maggie was eating Southern Comfort snowballs. We scrambled up Boge Mountain, the blizzard had begun (it was beautiful that day, all the trees were covered in snow and all was white...)

 

When we left, Foster and Mish came with me in my car. We went off the road and got stuck, the car tilting down a hill. The blizzard didn't help at all. After about 6 hours (and some more hash oil) we got pulled out and got home. (a film survives of the weekend).
