I did see an Alka-Seltzer ad featuring Salvidor Dali. All I remember of it was a girl in a white body stocking against a black background. As the voiceover said "pain", Dali slashed her with a paintbrush. [Finally, in 2006 this ad shows up on the net. Though I had remembered the visual part quiet acturately, the vocal over actually says :"Then the Alka-Seltzer SHOOTS into the stomach!"...unless there is an alternative version?]

There was also an animated one, in which a man is attacked in bed by an army of pitchfork and knife carrying vegatables...also for Alkaseltzer.

September 17 Sunday
At 12:30 Ralph came over, then Gillian. Watched TV, Lesley came and left with Gillian. Bored, went to the park, played chess, watched 'Jason King' [a silly British series about the adventures of a foppish spy, which must have been an inspiration for the movie "Astin Powers"]. Ralph left at 6:30.

September 18 Monday
Lunch-Lesley, Ralph, Dave and I sat under the trees at the Civic Center, Andy came. We went in and say in the student's lounge on the green carpet. French-they switched our French classes, now in Kafadarow's. Ralph is in it too. After school Ralph got the bus and came over, the phones were dead [the wire running to the house had snapped like a rubber band, hitting our garage and leaving a weaving black line on one of the doors] so we went to the Piddock's [the parent's of one of Karen's friend's Alison] and phoned the phone company. Did homework, watched 'Star Trek'.

September 19 Tuesday
Lunch-Dave, Ralph and I sat in the rink at the Civic Center. Math-Andy and I hit each other. After school Ralph, Dave and Andy came over. Watched 'Star Trek', Andy and Ralph had a 'fight' on the couches. They left at 5:40.

September 20 Wednesday
B(spare)-Christine, Dave and I went to the shops, got donuts, sat where the Salvation Army boxes are. Lunch-Lesley, Dave, Diane, Ralph and I went to the Civic Center outside the pool. Diane had her comb [Alphonse] in a bag. French-Calf away, had a ugly old bag!. Didn't do much, talked to Ralph. English-heard [Dave] Renwich [who I'd known since Grade 7] pulled a stiff in the showers in gym (ha!) [He became known as 'Hotrod Renwich']. Ralph, Lesley and I were talking by my bus and Chris walked by and said hi to us.

September 21 Thursday
B(spare)-went to the shops with Danielle, Dave and Christine. Bought donuts, sat in the same place as yesterday. Lunch-Ralph, Dave, Lesley and I went to the Civic Center under the trees. Andy came. It was warm for once. On the way to French passed Chris. He said hi to Ralph and I, I waved and Ralph insisted I did a peace sign (I didn't). English-have three girls (70) in the class now, one is Lora Kalio (71). After school Ralph came over, watched 'Star Trek'. Gillian came during it. Went downstairs, spanking Gillian [oh really]. They left at 6.

September 22 Friday
Chem-had an assembly welcoming us to the school. B(spare)-went to the shops with Dave and Christine, got donuts, sat in the same place as yesterday. Art-art history, told us what Renaissance was. Lunch-Dave, Christine, Ralph and I went to the Civic Center, sat outside the pool facing the Pits. Lesley came, then Andy. Dave bought some grass as I left. French-Ralph dropped his gum and we looked for it from our desks. Math-work. Got out 10 minutes early to watch the [Russia vs Canada] hockey game on TV in the Great Hall. nite-Gillian came over, then Andy and Ralph. Andy had grass, got stoned. Danielle came. Gillian and I were insulting each other, everyone seemed pissed off. They felt at 11.

71. Ralph's note: Laura Kalio. Very large breasts. She showed up one day wearing a sweatshirt with an anchor on it. Several of us started up a chorus of "Anchors Aweigh"
