March 25 Saturday

Sheila and Liz came over, they saw movie. Sheila wanted to hear the tape from Aug/71 (she and I). Tried the Moo-Moo Club out on Sheila, not too much happened. nite- went to Lesley's. Don, Gillian and Alan Walker (her boyfriend) there. Then Judy and Ralph came. Judy left, Lesley, Don, Ralph and I went to the D.Q.. When they gave Lesley her sundae she looked at it and said "Cuteness". I got a big i.c. cone. Went back to Lesley's, Don gave me a magic candle (one you can't blow out). Got a drive home with Ralph.

 

March 26 Sunday

Sheila and Liz came over at night. Heard tapes (Grade 7-Oct 16/70), argued over George, the Group, me phoning Sheila (Nov 21/71) etc.

 

March 27 Monday

Dave Webb got a haircut. Chris T came up to my locker and asked me if I knew someone called Sisset or something because that's where he was Saturday night, and he told me the drummer of Black Sabbath was sick. I said I knew and showed him the piece of glass. Math- Chris T came in and said he was at a house next to St Thomas Saturday night, and he had drunk something like a bottle of wine and 3 Bradors, then at home he had barfed twice. He said he was the drunkest he had ever been. At the end Christine took Chris's pen and I took Christine's (I still have it). Lunch- Lesley, Janet and I went to the aud, on the way we stopped at Woodworking, Lesley went on ahead. Janet got Todd McKinroy's keys for his locker off him to get a smoke. When Janet came back we tried to get Chris T's attention. When he did see us he waved his arms in the air and came towards us, but we told him to get McKinroy, he did and came to the door with him. Janet and I went to the aud, met Lesley and Christine up by the doors. Sat there awhile then we moved to the old place, then we left. Christine took off somewhere, Lesley wanted to get to the Great Hall but Janet and I didn't, so Janet and I walked up and down my locker hall 5 times. We stopped at Woodworking and I talked to Janet for awhile. When I was going up the stairs to Art, Chris T called me and asked if he could borrow a dime, I gave him one. English- I got out early (1:45), met Christine and Janet outside, we went to the aud. Science- Chris T was taking apart the watch he found, gave me pieces of it. He talked about being drunk again. He's not a bad kid.

 

March 28 Tuesday

Math- I was at the side blackboard doing a problem and I looked in the back of the book for the answer, and Lang hit the book and shot papers all over, and said for me to work it out. History- had a test. Sang Happy Birthday to Alison Hart, at the end (almost) Linda Ross came in with a birthday candle in a Mars bar. Lunch- Lesley, Christine, Janet and I went out to mail a letter, then we went outside the aud, then we went to the place under the stairs near Woodworking. Science- Todd told me his brother was in a group, he goes to L.P.H.S. [Lindsey Place].

 

March 29 Wednesday

Math- got out at 9:40, Chris caught up with me in the hall and we talked about the factoring test we'd just had, then Christine, Sue and I went out on St John's for a smoke. Gym- while Roy was testing people, Spacey and Metivier were at on end, and Reich, Webb and I at the other. Metivier hit the glass 'exit' sign over the door and broke it. On the way down to the locker room Warren Johnson was dragging me by my shirt. Lunch- the Hari Krisnas were in the Great Hall. Janet, Dave, Christine and I went out on St Louis and had a smoke, then we sat outside by the teacher's front door. After Science at 3 Christine and I were talking. Chris T went by and I called him an alcoholic, he said "Please, no ridicule!". nite- Lesley, Don and Mike came over (I didn't expect them). Saw all the movies. Mike had a button "I am here". He said we should come downtown and see him, lot's of drugs (heh heh!) [Mike then lived at Shawbridge. He had lived at a similar place in Winnipeg, which he had recognized on the cover of a 'Guess Who' album]. Did a weird handshake with Mike when he left.
