October 22 Friday
Gym(spare)- took the last 3 dexies on the way to the shops. Talked to Don. Lunch- went out with Sandi and a guy to the fountain. I drew them quick for Art. About 12:15 (by this time Cherryl McGill and Pierre Cappuccino [brother of Annie, who I'd known in grade school] were there). Russel was talking to Laine (he came from Lindsey Place). English- gave Yacknin the forged note (that Lesley did) for yesterday. He fell for it. Before Science in the Great Hall very near my locker I was talking to Liz and the guy from my Math class (Derek Shawn's friend) came from behind and asked for a smoke, Laine was with them. I didn't give them one. nite- met Don at Steinberg's, hitchhiked and got a ride to Don's, stayed about 45 minutes. Hitchhiked and got a ride down the 2&20 to Lesley's. Met Lesley, Sandi, Judy, Brenda and a friend and walked to the Mapes. Tried to get stuff but they were going to have a raid so we left (we lost Brenda and friend somewhere at the Mapes), sat and argued near Bayview where we were going to go. Went to Sandi's but left (he mother was in a bad mood), sat near Sandi's. Lesley was mad again. Went to Judy's, down in her basement. We played pool. Lesley was mad and left but came back with Lanore and David ? [Essiambre]. (P.S.- at the drugstore near Don's he bought 2 needles, I got one of them. He stole 2 boxes of wake up pills).

October 23 Saturday
Went to Lesley's then her father drove us (Lesley, Judy and I) to Fairview. I got a Led Zeppelin poster (25) and a cloth star [picture booth photos survive]. Went back to Lesley's and watched 'Bugs Bunny', and sowed the star on my pants. nite- went to the Mapes, met Sandi then Judy. Judy's brother drove Judy and I to Dave's [in D.D.O.] house. Don and Lesley came. Don, Judy and I went outside for a toke. I think I got stoned. We went in the garage, Judy broke something [a flower pot]. Got a drive home. [at Dave's that night were Pierre Cappuccino and Ralph deSmit. Ralph didn't think much of us...]
