Please do not ban our so-called "grass orgies."  They provide students with what is perhaps the most relaxed climate for social interaction and building friendships.  They kindle strong friendships that last even after session ends, which is very important to many of the students, who are often socially isolated outside of CTY -- before they attend.  I implore you to maintain CTY as a place not only of academic education, but of life education and social development.  Students have never been known to do anything inappropriate, sexually or otherwise, while lying on the grass with heads on friends' stomachs -- I think you will agree that movement is quite restricted in such a position.  We keep our inappropriateness for those situations when we are not lying out in plain view of RAs and other staffers.  If nomenclature becomes an issue, I will happily work to oust the word "orgy" from our traditional CTY vocabulary on this site and in as many sessions and sites as I have the influence to do so.

Charlie McGeorge, operator of PCTYD, came up with the idea of collecting anything that CTYers write or record during CTY.  In other words, if you journal or write anything or sketch anything while at CTY, please keep it.  It'd be great if you could do so and then post things on your Userpages here at RealCTY. Charlie also wants to collect some of the stuff for use in his CTY magazine called "Forevermore."  It's still in its early stages, and it doesn't quite look fantastic yet, but if you would allow him to use your accounts, please make note of it wherever you post said accounts on RealCTY (again, Userpages are good), or email them to him (check PCTYD for his email).

Hey all.  I'm busy with the trauma that is junior year, so I haven't been able to do RealCTY updates and stuff, and I apologize.  I'm also very late with granting adminship, but I finally have.  Welcome your two newest admins, [[User:Yulia|Yulia]] and [[User:Dutchman|He Who Must Not Be Named]].  The latter, I believe, wishes to remain somewhat anonymous, and so I told Voldemort to blot out his name.  Yes, that is correct.  I control Voldemort.

It appears that many CAA folk have been posting assorted tiny bits of info about their sites and/or pictures into the middle and/or top of assorted pages.  Firstly, I would like simply to point out that you should use proper formatting.  Secondly, please do not intrude upon the established order of sites.  The order is based vaguely on size and amount of tradition, and goes as follows: Lancaster -> Carlisle -> Siena/Saratoga -> LMU -> JHU -> Hawai'i -> Easton -> Bristol.  Sure, I favor my home site, but it is also by far the largest and most tradition-heavy.

 Hello, all. I have a special request for all of you—to read and, if possible, take action on my June 20, 2012 open letter regarding the program's growing restrictions on student expression. Much thanks; I really do appreciate your time. —Max Wang, site administrator, RealCTY

Welcome

  • 72633455064916235913983 (This was the original content of Prune me, move me, change me, share me. It does not appear to hold meaning.)
  • Read this open letter to the CTY community.
  • Maybe if we write Center for Talented Youth on the Main Page, Google will notice us in a search of said words!
