I remember using Big Chief writing tablets in elementary school. I think the last time I used them was in the second grade. There were several covers, but I think the one above is the one I used.
I wonder if any school still uses them. Edit: They are no longer manufactured – Wikipedia.
The last time I really thought about Big Chief tablets was in college. I was reading A Confederacy of Dunces and the book mentioned the main character writing in them.
I believe the paper was gray.
One thing that bugged me about that paper is when I just sharpened my pencil and tried to write in it – the pencil was too sharp for the paper. It was always best to use a dull pencil.
I remember hearing a story – When they told my older brother he needed a 10 cent tablet for school ( Big Chief) he cried because he thought it was a big pill.
A Confederacy of Dunces is an awesome book. I read it a year ago and then passed it over to my husband who read it in a week. It is a great story and possibly the best book I have read in ten years. The authors story is sad, but makes the book that more meaningful.

The U2 video was good, but it was derivative of the Let It Be video of the Beatles. IMHO, the OKGO video should win. Fun, quirky and creative…
I remember that writing paper with the solid and dotted blue lines, back when we were learning cursive. That was good stuff!
