8 Friday
French-
had my guitar there (Rea had returned it before French)
[his borrowing it is not recorded. I had made an attempt
to learn the guitar but I have no musical talent].
Lunch- went outside with Sandi on the lawn where the fountain
is to have a smoke, went to the caf with Liz. Science- Einser
away so we all took off, sat in the Great Hall while a guy played
my guitar. Later went with Mike to deliver some papers to the
townhouses near J.R., then we went to the dance at the school
[Mahogany Rush, a local Hendrix style band lead by Frank
Marino, was the entertainment]. Mike, Lanore, Don,
Lesley, Sandi, Brenda, Judy, Christine Lovett (from my Art and
Math classes) and Sandi's friend Heidi were there. Liz was there
too with Diana. I am sort of going out with Judy[peer pressure]. Liz told me Laine was
there so we all went out to the hall, and fooled around near
him [now that's more like it]. Lanore, Mike, Christine, Judy and I were dancing at the back
of the gym. I was really rolling my head around. It ended about
11:45, got a ride home with Lanore. P.S.- told Liz that Mike
was George and she believed it. [Mike
and Don had done LSD, as had many there].

Rain!
cool- but we went out anyway. Went to Lesley's in the afternoon.
Don, Mike and Julian [Lesley's friend
Gillian Simons actually(18)] were there. Were in the livingroom then downstairs. I phoned
Mike and said "Hello, you suckhole", it was his 'father' [Mike lived in a foster home. The man said "I think
you want Mike"]. nite- I walked to the Mapes,
got splashed by a taxi. Mike came then Judy, went in to phone
Lesley and Don to see if they were coming. They came with Gillian
. We went outside the Caboose, got beer and toked. Judy's mother
drove us to the United Church, we sat in on a talk group. We
went back to my house, saw drug movie(19).
We walked back to the church, then I came home about 9:30.
October
11 Monday Holiday
From
1 to 5:40pm Don, Lesley, Judy, Sandi and Lanore came over, sat in the reckroom. I taped them (audio
sample). We phoned people, Judy and Lesley were trying
to get out so Don and I were keeping them in. They got out
once. Ordered pizza, played the drug game but gave up. Got
very unhappy (Lesley and Judy were mad). They danced and talked,
then they left.
17. The Pits used to be a rock quarry, long abandoned (and presumably
a brick factory at one time had been there). The land was owned
by CN. It was divided into two main sections: where the quarry
used to be was now used as hills for bicycles and dirtbikes,
and at a slightly higher level was a large field with long grass
and bushes. To the north of this was a wooded area with a small
stream running through it. Efforts to save it in 1971 resulted
in its official name becoming 'Terra Cotta'. Later (c.1975)
a playing field was built south of the bike hills and condos
on the eastern edge (early 1980's).
18.
Gillian had met Lesley through a mutual friend Gail West.
19. Probably a 3 minute 8mm I had made in the summer of 1969
called 'The Trip'. Unfortunately it does not survive.
