[[Category:General]]</div>CronchyTreeshttps://www.realcty.org/index.php?title=American_Pie&diff=51672American Pie2019-08-06T19:07:18Z<p>CronchyTrees: /* Artifacts */</p>
<hr />
<div>"[[American Pie]]" by Don McLean is the last song played at every dance at every CTY site (the singular exception being the last dance at [[Skidmore]] Session 1), making it almost universally part of the High Holy [[Canon]]. This tradition even extends to [[Baby CTY]] and [[CAA]], which normally do not observe the same traditions as CTY sites. The tradition of "American Pie" has spread to [[TIP]] (a gifted youth program run by Duke University), the Summer Institute for the Gifted (or SIG, another gifted youth program), and CTYI (The Irish Centre for Talented Youth).<br />
<br />
Although it is generally accepted that "American Pie" was played at the first session of CTY, there is some dispute as to exactly what this statement means; some say that this refers to [[St. Mary's]] in 1980/1981, but this may also refer to the first session of CTY at [[Lancaster]] in 1982. Regardless, the tradition was started by American Pie-loving staff members, and the students enjoyed it and carried it to successive sites and sessions. It has been the last song of dances at all sessions for a good amount of time. However, at Carlisle, "[[Stairway to Heaven]]" was played after "American Pie" until '91-'92, when the staff could not locate a copy of "American Pie" and had to play "Stairway" first to stall. This led to protesting, but was eventually accepted as a superior arrangement.<br />
<br />
Released on the eponymous album in 1972, "American Pie" topped the charts for many a week and was nominated for many Grammies. The song was voted "5th Most Memorable Song of the 20th Century" in a survey taken several years ago. Don McLean has said that he wrote the song in order to sum up what rock and roll was like up to that time and how it influenced the lives of the people around it. The nature of the lyrics is rather cryptic and Don McLean has not officially stated what he meant by them; rather, he encourages people to give them meaning.<br />
<br />
It is the longest song in the Canon at 8 minutes 34 seconds, followed by Stairway to Heaven at 8 minutes.<br />
<br />
The song is not affiliated with the movie of the same name in any way.<br />

<br />
"I am pleased to be a part of your lives and I hope my song will not just be nostalgia, but a reminder to hold onto creativity and truth as you grow older and become less flexible.<br />
<br />
All the best<br /><br />
Don McLean"<br />

==Lyrics==<br />
<br />
A long, long time ago,<br /><br />
I can still remember<br /><br />
How that music used to make me smile<br /><br />
And I knew if I had my chance,<br /><br />
That I could make those people dance<br /><br />
And maybe they'd be happy for a while<br /><br />
But February made me shiver,<br /><br />
With every paper I'd deliver<br /><br />
Bad news on the doorstep,<br /><br />
I couldn't take one more step<br /><br />
I can't remember if I cried<br /><br />
When I read about his widowed bride<br /><br />
But something touched me deep inside<br /><br />
The day the music died<br />
<br />
'''Chorus:'''<br /><br />
So bye, bye Miss American Pie<br /><br />
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry<br /><br />
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye<br /><br />
Singing this will be the day that I die,<br /><br />
This will be the day that I die<br />
<br />
Did you write the Book of Love,<br /><br />
And do you have faith in God above,<br /><br />
If the Bible tells you so?<br /><br />
Now, do you believe in rock 'n' roll,<br /><br />
Can music save your mortal soul,<br /><br />
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?<br /><br />
Well, I know that you're in love with him<br /><br />
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym<br /><br />
You both kicked off your shoes,<br /><br />
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues!<br /><br />
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck<br /><br />
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck<br /><br />
But I knew that I was out of luck<br /><br />
The day the music died<br />
<br />
I started singing...<br />
<br />
'''Chorus'''<br />
<br />
Now for ten years we've been on our own,<br /><br />
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone,<br /><br />
But that's not how it used to be.<br /><br />
When the jester sang for the King and Queen<br /><br />
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean<br /><br />
And a voice that came from you and me<br /><br />
Oh, and while the King was looking down,<br /><br />
The jester stole his thorny crown.<br /><br />
The courtroom was adjourned,<br /><br />
No verdict was returned.<br /><br />
And while Lennon/Lenin read a book on Marx,<br /><br />
The quartet practiced in the park,<br /><br />
And we sang dirges in the dark,<br /><br />
The day the music died.<br />
<br />
We were singing...<br />
<br />
'''Chorus'''<br />
<br />
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter<br /><br />
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter<br /><br />
Eight miles high and falling fast<br /><br />
It landed foul on the grass<br /><br />
The players tried for a forward pass<br /><br />
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast<br /><br />
Now, the halftime air was sweet perfume<br /><br />
While The Sergeants played a marching tune<br /><br />
We all got up to dance,<br /><br />
Oh, but we never got the chance<br /><br />
'Cause the players tried to take the field<br /><br />
The marching band refused to yield<br /><br />
Do you recall what was revealed<br /><br />
The day the music died?<br />
<br />
We started singing...<br />
<br />
'''Chorus'''<br />
<br />
Oh, and there we were all in one place<br /><br />
A generation lost in space<br /><br />
With no time left to start again<br /><br />
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick<br /><br />
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick<br /><br />
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend<br /><br />
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage<br /><br />
My hands were clenched in fists of rage<br /><br />
No angel born in Hell<br /><br />
Could break that Satan's spell<br /><br />
And as the flames climbed high into the night<br /><br />
To light the sacrificial rite<br /><br />
I saw Satan laughing with delight<br /><br />
The day the music died<br />
<br />
He was singing...<br />
<br />
'''Chorus'''<br />
<br />
I met a girl who sang the blues<br /><br />
And I asked her for some happy news...<br /><br />
But she just smiled and turned away<br /><br />
I went down to the sacred store<br /><br />
Where I'd heard the music years before<br /><br />
But the man there said the music wouldn't play<br /><br />
And in the streets the children screamed<br /><br />
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed<br /><br />
But not a word was spoken<br /><br />
The church bells all were broken<br /><br />
And the three men I admire most<br /><br />
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost<br /><br />
They caught the last train for the coast<br /><br />
The day the music died<br />
<br />
And they were singing...<br /><br />
<br />
'''Chorus'''<br />
<br />
They were singin'<br /><br />
Bye, bye Miss American Pie<br /><br />
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry<br /><br />
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye<br /><br />
Singing this will be the day that I die.<br />
<br />
==Tradition==<br />
<br />
===Lancaster===<br />
<br />
====Student Participation====<br />
<br />
* The whole camp links arms in a giant circle during the first and last verses; they sway and kick alternate feet. "Right foot first!" (This used to be "Left foot first, right!").<br />
* Two circles are formed for the first and last verses, an inner circle composed of nomores, nevermores, and staff members, and an outer circle with the rest of the student population.<br />
* For the other verses, everyone runs into the center and surrounds the inner circle, singing the lyrics.<br />
* Clap hands twice and then once on the offbeats of the pre-choruses starting with a double clap after the "Day".<br />
* Wave hands back and forth during the chorus.<br />
* After each line of "This will be the day that I die," everyone chants "Die, die, die, die! Live, live, live, live! Sex, sex, sex, sex! More, more, more, more!" while shaking fists (right for each "die," left for each "live," both for each "sex," and pelvic thrust with fist pumps for each "more.") Old, old ctyers, such as Pommersheim, the highly famous Number Theory teacher, report that this chant evolved by linear addition - first just "Die" (x4), and then "Live," "Sex," "More," and "Orgy" added, in order, with a few years in between each time. <br />
* A shout of "Orgy!" often follows the final "more." The RAs usually respond with a shout of "No Orgies," to which students may respond "Yes Orgies!" as of 18.2.<br />

Now, do you believe in rock 'n' roll,<br /><br />
Can music save your mortal soul,<br /><br />

*'' people dance slowly in the center.''<br />
Well, I know that you're in love with him<br /><br />
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym<br /><br />
You both kicked off your shoes,<br /><br />
*'' Pretend to kick off your shoes by kicking at air two or more times. Do not actually kick off your shoes, of course, as footwear must be worn at all times.''<br />
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues!<br /><br />
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck<br /><br />
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck<br /><br />
*'' Pretend to drive a car by turning an imaginary steering wheel.''<br />

*'' The [[Jester|Jester]], King, and Queen step into the circle and act out their roles. The King wears any kind of hat as a substitute for real crown. Someone may help the Jester don their coat (the Jester's "James Dean").''<br />
And a voice that came from you and me<br /><br />
Oh, and while the King was looking down,<br /><br />
The jester stole his thorny crown.<br /><br />
The courtroom was adjourned,<br /><br />
No verdict was returned.<br /><br />
*'' Yell out the lyrics "No verdict was returned".''<br />
And while Lennon/Lenin read a book on Marx,<br /><br />
*'' After singing, "And while Lennon/Lenin read a book on Marx," yell "Which one?"''<br />

Helter Skelter in a summer swelter<br /><br />
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter<br /><br />

With the jester on the sidelines in a cast<br /><br />
*'' The Jester hops around as if in a cast.''<br />
Now, the halftime air was sweet perfume<br /><br />
*'' While accenting "sweet" (swEEEt) and reach into the air and spread your hands apart.''<br />
While The Sergeants played a marching tune<br /><br />
*'' Pretend to play a marching band instrument (often the trombone).''<br />
We all got up to dance,<br /><br />
Oh, but we never got the chance<br /><br />
*'' Accent "oh" (OHH).''<br />
'Cause the players tried to take the field<br /><br />
*'' Run in place. (As of either 15.1 or 16.1, a group of RA's will rush into the center of the circle)''<br />
The marching band refused to yield<br /><br />

So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick<br /><br />
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick<br /><br />
*'' 1st session Jack Flash and Fire act out the actions with glowsticks"<br />
*'' 2nd session When singing about Jack Flash, and (usually) the fiend [[Satan]] act out the actions with a glow stick.''<br />
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend<br /><br />

**'' Session 1: a person wearing red for the fire and "Satan" act in an amiable manner. Recently, the person acting out Satan has picked fire up and spun them around.''<br />
**'' Session 2: Satan caresses/deep throats a glowstick.''<br />
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage<br /><br />
My hands were clenched in fists of rage<br /><br />

<br />
He was singing...<br />
<br />
'''Chorus'''<br />
<br />
I met a girl who sang the blues<br /><br />
*'' A girl goes into the circle and calls out shades of blue (e.g. royal, navy, periwinkle), although this has become an obsolete callback (brought back by 16.1, will have to wait to see if it stays)<br />
And I asked her for some happy news...<br /><br />
But she just smiled and turned away<br /><br />
*'' Many smile dejectedly here and turn away, quickly returning to the large circle.''<br />
I went down to the sacred store<br /><br />
*'' After the word store, yell "[[Turkey Hill]]!"''<br />

But the man there said the music wouldn't play<br /><br />

The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed<br /> <br />

*'' For the final Chorus the whole circle rushes into its center and sings the song.''<br />
<br />
'''Chorus'''<br />
<br />
*'' At the end of the dance and of American Pie, the staff shouts "Go home! Nobody loves you!" to which the students respond "We love you!" and scurry to the [[Afterdance]]. At First Session, this callback occurs after the Afterdance. Instead, the students shout "Come to the Afterdance!"''<br />
<br />
====Artifacts====<br />
<br />
* The Jester's Garments: These were introduced long ago and are shared between sessions. However, this often results in the Session 2 recipient's delayed return of the Jester garments to the Session 1 Jester. The hat is a regular Jester's hat, originally belonging to Ken Levin; the coat is Ken's colorful plaid jacket.<br />
<br />
* The Thorny Crown: During Session 2, the Thorny Crown, worn by the King, can be any hat that the Jester can steal. It has often been the Duct Tape Hat. During Session 1, in 2007 and 2008, a wreath made of grape stems and duct tape was used. However, Session 1 has since returned to using a hat. A crown was imagined for 13.1. For 15.1, a duct tape crown was created. Since around 18.1, the Jester’s hat has been used.<br />
<br />
* Glowsticks: These are used for the verse which starts out "Oh, and then we were all in one place." They are ordinary glowsticks, generally borrowed from a nearby raver. They are used to represent candles for Jack Flash and for the sacrificial rite; at Session 2, they are also used by Satan to represent fire. Second Session's Satan often inserts the glowstick into a variety of his/her orifices.<br />
<br />
====Roles====<br />
<br />
* The King and Queen: Two people are chosen during session to represent the King and Queen mentioned in the third verse. The King looks down (note: in 08.1, the King looked down the Queen's shirt and in 10.1, the King leaned the Queen over and kissed her at the last dance) and has his crown stolen.<br />
<br />
* [[Jester|The Jester]]: A position passed down from generation to generation, the Jester is a nomore and bears the artifacts mentioned above. The Jester is the only character who has parts in multiple verses; in the third, the Jester entertains the King and Queen and then steals the Thorny Crown, and in the fourth, s/he displays that s/he has a broken bone (generally in the leg).<br />
<br />
* The Players: The players try to take the field by running across the circle.<br />
<br />
* Jack Flash: Jack Flash is a reference to "Jumpin' Jack Flash," a song by The Rolling Stones, and it is mentioned in the song. The designated Jack Flash sits on a glowstick during the fifth verse. In 08.1, Jack Flash was established as a First Session position belonging to the head nomore glowsticker; this person also plays the role during American Pie.<br />
<br />
* Fire: A position unique to Session 1, usually decided during session. Fire acts as the devil's only friend in the proper verse of the song. Fire is also lifted up in the line "And the flames climbed high into the night." Fire usually wears red to the dances, or some attire to indicate fire; however, this is not required.<br />
<br />
* The Sacrificial Rite: Someone is selected to this position during session and lies down in the circle during the proper verse. Meanwhile, the rest of the participants light them with imaginary torches, while Satan uses a glowstick.<br />
<br />
* [[Satan]]: The position of Satan during American Pie has, at some time during both sessions' histories, been passed down as a position; at other times, it is a role in American Pie only and is decided during session. Satan has several roles, but they are different depending on the session:<br />
** During First Session, Satan must be friends with Fire.<br />
** During Second Session, Satan lights the sacrificial rite with a glowstick, holds the candlestick for Jack Flash, and inserts a glowstick into some orifice as the flames climb high into the night.<br />
** During both sessions, Satan laughs manically when "Satan laughing with delight" is sung.<br />
<br />
* Girl and Asker: The girl steps into the middle and shouts shades of blue. The Asker asks if she has any news, and she turns away. These roles have fallen out of use.<br />
<br />
===Carlisle===<br />
<br />
* The whole camp links arms in a giant circle while swaying and kicking alternate feet during the first and last verses. The Dean of Residential Life yells out which foot to start with. Then the Dean's name is repeated along with the foot. ("Right Foot!" "Jack says Right Foot!")<br />
* Nevermores and nomores form a circle in the center. After the dance, the nevermores & nomores chant where and when [[Passionfruit]] will be (although other CTYers chant along).<br />
** For the first two Passionfruits: "Passionfruit! Seven o' clock! Upper Quad! Bring a drink!" (for the last Passionfruit, "Six o' clock!" is substituted)<br />
** Or, after the last Passionfruit of 10.2, when DRL Megan decided she didn't want to wake up at 6: "Passionfruit! Half past six! Upper Quad! Bring a drink!"<br />
** 6:30 has been the regular time of the last Passionfruit since then<br />
* At "You both kicked off your shoes", kick off your shoes (or pretend to).<br />
* Clap hands once and then twice on the offbeats of the pre-choruses starting after "The Day..."<br />
* Wave hands in the air during the chorus.<br />
** The proper form is both hands side-to-side, like the RAs do, instead of the more popular (but untraditional) fist pumps.<br />
* After the line, "This will be the day that I die," everyone jumps up and down, shakes their fists, and chants "Die, die, die, die! Live, live, live, live! Sex, sex, sex, sex! More, more, more, more!" These are called "callbacks."<br />
** Yelling "Orgy!" has been strictly forbidden since 2006 to differentiate from the Lancastrians who remained devoted to the tradition.<br />
** This ban is largely supported by the students, who will yell "Go back to Lancaster!" at the "Orgy"-yellers<br />
* At the line "Eight miles high and falling fast", raise up your arms, letting them fall and then raising them back up at the end of the line.<br />
* At "The players tried for a forward pass" gesture a forward pass with your right arm.<br />
* Say "sweet perfume" sweetly.<br />
* March to "a marching tune".<br />
* Shake fists and yell each of the lines: "fists of rage," "refused to yield," and "lost in space."<br />
* Yell "not even one!" after "no angel born in hell".<br />
* Raise arms up at "Flames climbed high into the night".<br />
* Scream after the line "And in the streets, the children screamed."<br />
* After the line "The church bells all were broken," yell "Ding-Dong!" <br />
** However, Bret will mock you behind your back for doing so because broken bells don't ring.<br />
** As Brett is no longer Site Director (as of 10.2), RAs instead yell "They're broken!" after "Ding-Dong!"<br />
* After the line "The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost," yell "Casper!"<br />
* After the line "They caught the last train for the coast," yell "East Coast"; people from the west coast yell "West Coast".<br />
<br />
===Loudonville (Siena)===<br />
<br />
* The whole camp links arms in a giant circle while swaying and kicking alternate feet during the first and last verses.<br />
* The Dean of Residential Life decides the great existential quandary of the times: left or right foot first?<br />
* Clap hands once and then twice on the offbeats of the pre-choruses.<br />
* Wave hands in the air during the chorus.<br />
* Do NOT chant "Die, die, die, die..." after "This will be the day that I die." This tradition is omitted because a CTYer committed suicide during a dance, and chanting "Die, die, die, die" is considered disrespectful. Flying squirrels from other sites, however, often do not acknowledge this unique tradition.<br />
* During the line "You both kicked off your shoes," take off your shoes.<br />
* Shake fists and yell the the line "fists of rage."<br />
* Scream after the line "And in the streets, the children screamed."<br />
* After the line "The church bells all were broken," cry a broken "Ding-dong!"<br />
<br />
===Saratoga Springs===<br />
<br />
* The first verse and last verse are sung in a giant circle.<br />
* Everyone runs into a the center in between the first verse and chorus<br />
* Clap hands once and then twice on the offbeats of the pre-choruses.<br />
* Shout "fists of rage" and pump fists.<br />
* Yell "Left foot first!" before kicking ("Right foot first" for Session 2)<br />
* After each line of "This will be the day that I die," chant "Die, die, die, die! Live, live, live, live! Sex, sex, sex, sex! More, more, more, more!"<br />
* People who yell "Orgy" after the call backs often meet with a reply of "Fu-- that Lancaster sh--" or some other expletive in general opposition to the tradition.<br />
* Yell along "in the gym!" during the line "'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym"<br />
* During "a generation lost in space", yell along "lost in space!<br />
* During the line "You both kicked off your shoes," kick off your shoes (As of 16.2 kick your feet as IF kicking off shoes).<br />
* Scream after the line "And in the streets, the children screamed."<br />
* After the line "The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost," yell "and Jon Good!"<br />
* Nevermores form a separate circle for the last dance.<br />

<s>Don McLean wrote and first performed the song "American Pie" in the Cafe Lena in the city of Saratoga Springs.</s><br />
<br />
As much as Saratoga wishes American Pie was written there, sadly that is not the case. American Pie, according to Don McLean, was written in Philadelphia and was first performed at Temple University.<br />

<br />
===Los Angeles (LMU)===<br />
<br />
* Everyone puts their arms around each other, forming a huge circle of CTYers around the dance floor, sways, and kicks alternate feet during first and last verses. People often sing along.<br />
** Most people kick their right feet first, or at least try to. "Right foot first!” is usually called out.<br />
* Run towards the center at the end of the first verse and second-to-last verses.<br />
* Jump and sing along loudly during the choruses.<br />
* Clap hands once and then twice on the offbeats of the pre-choruses.<br />
* After the line "This will be the day that I die," chant "Die, die, die, die! Live, live, live, live! Sex, sex, sex, sex! More, more, more, more!"<br />
* This is followed by a loud shout of "Orgy!"<br />
* In 08.1, a few students (mostly flying squirrels or PCTYDers) began importing some of the Lancaster callbacks, including:<br />
** Responding "Not even one!" after "No angel born in hell..." <br />
** Screaming after "And in the streets the children screamed" <br />
** After "The church bells all were broken" shouting "CLANG!"<br />
** Responding "CASPER!" after "three men I admire...Holy ghost" This was later replaced.<br />
* In 09, many things were changed.<br />
** After the line "And the three men I admired most, the father son, and the holy ghost," Jallegra chanted, "AND JASON BORING!" This chant stuck and was in use until after 13.2<br />
** On the line, "Satan laughing with delight," Catherine Li laughed evilly. [session two] As of 2013.2, RA Taylor dons the hood of his famous robes and cackles at this line. <br />
** Margot Solmssen [onemore], stole a hat off of Davey Krucik [nevermore]'s head on the line, "Jester stole his thorny crown." People are still known to steal hats on this line. <br />
** People screamed after the line, "Children screamed."<br />
* At the last dance, on the last verse, nevermores and nomores make their own circle in the center within the larger group of CTYers.<br />
* Shout the lines "Refused to yield" and "Fists of rage" as loud as possible while pumping fists into the air.<br />
* On the line, "The flames climbed high into the night," raise arms into the air, mimicking fire.<br />
* At second session, the members of the Holy Trinity step forward and bow/curtsey/wave when their respective titles are named in the last verse.<br />
* Except for nevermores and nomores (sometimes including RAs who are not returning) at the last dance, there should be no one inside the circle at the beginning and end of the song.<br />
* At the end of the song, the RAs shout, "Go home! Nobody loves you!" Student responses are varied. [They include, "WE LOVE YOU, and etc.] Recently, the RAs have taken to shouting only "Go home!" and the students respond, "Nobody loves you!" In 15.2, several students were the ones to shout "Go home! Nobody loves you!"<br />
* RA's had their own circle in the inside for all the dances in 17.2 and some were confused my the presence of nomores and nevermores in the inside circle at the last dance.<br />
<br />
===Baltimore===<br />
[[Image:American Pie Circle at JHU.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Circling up]]<br />

* Shout the phrase "fists of rage" while pumping fists into the air.<br />
* Shout the phrase "lost in space" while pumping fists into the air<br />
* Scream during the line "The children screamed"<br />
* Scream either "West coast!" or "East coast!" after the line, "They caught the last train for the coast" depending on which coast you come from / are the closest to geographically <br />
* Mime pretty much everything (this can get exhausting)<br />
* Try not to run into the RAs frantically escaping the mosh pit<br />
<br />
===Hawaii===<br />
<br />
* Hold hands in circle and kick alternate feet in first and last verses and the first chorus.<br />
* Run towards the center at end of first chorus.<br />
* Clap hands once and then twice on the offbeats of the pre-choruses.<br />
* After the line "This will be the day that I die," chant "Die, die, die, die! Live, live, live, live! Sex, sex, sex, sex! More, more, more, more!"<br />
* Jump during the chorus.<br />
* At the last dance, the nevermores form a separate circle in the center of the main circle; it becomes the center of the dance when everybody runs in.<br />
* Shout the line "Fists of rage," while pumping fists into the air.<br />
* Scream after the line "And in the streets the children screamed."<br />
<br />
===Easton===<br />

* Run towards the center at the end of the first chorus through the last chorus, jumping during the choruses<br />
* Clap hands twice and then once on the offbeats of the pre-choruses starting with a double clap after the "Day".<br />

** Pump fists along with the chant, starting with the right on "DIE!"<br />
* On the last verse, nomores, nevermores, and non-returning staff form a seperate circle in the center<br />
* Shout the lines "Fists of rage," and "Jack be quick!" and "Lost in Space!" while pumping fists into the air.<br />
* In 16.2, RA Dan convinced a few students to shout some of other site's traditions, such has "Casper!" after "The father, son and the holy ghost,"<br />
<br />
Note: beware; injuries have occurred during this song.<br />
<br />
===Bristol===<br />
<br />
* Run towards the center at the end of the first verse and second-to-last verses. <br />
*jump during the chorus.<br />
*Shout "fists of rage" while fist pumping<br />
* After the line "This will be the day that I die," chant "Die, die, die, die! Live, live, live, live! Sex, sex, sex, sex! More, more, more, more!"<br />
* Couples dance in the center of the circle.<br />
* Hold hands during the slow parts.<br />
<br />
===CTYI (Ireland)===<br />
<br />
* Everyone puts their arms around each other's shoulders, forming a large circle running the whole way around the canteen. The Nevermores form a separate, smaller circle in the middle. There is never quite enough room for this circle, leaving many participants (keeping in mind that everyone participates) a little squashed, and the circle deeply misshapen.<br />
* Apart from during the intro and outro, students kick their legs in time with the music.<br />
* When the music speeds up at "Did you write the Book of Love?..", the kicking speeds up and the circles sway from side to side more enthusiastically. <br />
* During the chorus, when the song goes, "This'll be the day that I die...", everybody jumps in time and shouts/chants "DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, LIVE, LIVE, LIVE, LIVE, SEX, SEX, SEX, SEX, MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE!" Some students add an extra "orgy!" onto the end of this chant. If there is a Psychology class that year, the Psych class substitutes "PSYCH PSYCH PSYCH PSYCH" for "SEX."<br />
*At the line "You both Kicked off your shoes", everybody kicks off their shoes as high as they can manage. This is a particularly dangerous time to be in the Nevermore circle as one has to risk a barrage of flying shoes.<br />
* At the line "My hands were clenched in fists of rage," students shout along with "FISTS OF RAGE" and shake their fists in the air. <br />
* Everybody screams when the song goes, "And in the streets, the children screamed"<br />
* * A recent addition: When the Holy Ghost is mentioned, students point to a "Ghost" (a student who was previously a Nevermore but got invited back for another year) and scream "Arghh! A ghost!" Previously, the callback here was to replace Holy Ghost with "Fergal Close," the long-running site director, until his retirement in 2003.<br />
* At the end of the song, the lights are switched on and mass crying ensues. The Nevermores cluster together and cry, while the rest of the students try to find their lost shoes from the floor and wipe away the tears. RAs give speeches and try to move everybody down to the Quad for the Candle-light Ceremony.<br />
<br />
===Hong Kong===<br />
Since the Hong Kong site is relatively new, most or even all of the traditions are brought over from the US sites by returning students and RAs from other sites. As a result, much like Hong Kong itself, the HKU site has become a mixing pot for traditions and cultures from all around the world.<br />
<br />
===Haverford===<br />
<br />
* (Song Starts): The students form a large circle on the outside of the room, and staff/admins make a smaller circle in the center<br />
* (First Chorus): A staff member yells "RIGHT FOOT FIRST," and staff and students kick out starting with that foot through the chorus<br />
* (End of First Chorus): The circle collapses and students flood into the center area<br />
* At the end of each verse on "the day the music died," start clapping two claps, a pause, 1 clap<br />
* (Second Verse): Shout during the lines "REFUSE TO YIELD!"<br />
* (Fourth Verse): Shout during "FISTS OF RAGE!"<br />
* (Fifth Verse): During "I met a girl who sang the blues," students form a larger circle, and RAs form a smaller circle inside of it<br />
* Scream after "the children screamed"<br />
* After "the church bells were all broken," yell "DING-DONG" or yell "BROKEN BELLS DON'T RING" back to them<br />
* On "the day the music died," do the same kicks as the first verse. Another chorus comes next, students rush into the center for it, and the song ends with the lights on.<br />

<div>[[Image:Passionfruit Speech.jpg|thumb|250px|right|A CTYer makes a Passionfruit speech]]<br />
<br />
[[Passionfruit]] (sometimes referred to with a preliminary definite article) is an early morning ritual involving fruit juice and making toasts to things at CTY that are... toastworthy. It is generally led by the [[Emperor|Emperor, Empress]], or [[Trinity (Session 1)|Trinity]].<br />
<br />
==Carlisle==<br />
<br />
Passionfruit originated at [[Carlisle]] in 1989. The first one was held by four toasters.<br />
<br />
It is held on the two Sundays of the session and the last Friday. At the end of the Saturday dance (or the Thursday dance, in the case of the last one) the night before, the Empress and Emperor (and their buddies) will shout the time and place of Passionfruit for the following morning. "Passionfruit! Upper Quad! 7 o' clock! Bring a drink!" for the first two or "Passionfruit! Upper Quad! Six-Thirty! Bring a drink!" for the last one (half-past-six is new as of 10.2, as DRL Megan didn't want to wake up for a traditionally 6:00 Passionfruit)<br />
<br />
Passionfruit is traditionally run by the [[Emperor|Emperor and Empress]], with the Emperor giving the first speech, and the Empress giving the last. The Emperor and Empress are also responsible for coming up with den00bifications/devirginzations/Passionfruit Games (13.1) to initiate those who aren't returning students to Carlisle. Once devirginized, one can make a Passionfruit speech. Unlike other sites, Passionfruit is open to students of all ages, and everyone, once devirginized, can make a speech. As of 12.1, everyone can make a toast, regardless of their initiation status. Any student can now participate in the Passionfruit Games, regardless of returning status.<br />
<br />
All speeches and toasts are given while standing and end with "I love CTY, and I love the Passionfruit." Additionally, many people choose to say "I like you, I love you, I CTY you" before ending their speech with "I love CTY, and I love the Passionfruit." Customarily, every speech is followed by the entire circle taking a sip of his or her own drink, meaning that after Passionfruit everyone has to go to the bathroom after (or, in rare cases, throw up a half-gallon of Tea Cooler to the side of the Alley; Amalia Bowen, CAR.10.2). Every attendee gives a speech, if desired.<br />
<br />
Passionfruit is now always supervised by RAs at Carlisle. You actually cannot be anywhere without being supervised, so if you are not going to Passionfruit, you cannot be outside, and you can only go to the [[Carlisle#TheHUB|HUB]] at 7:30, and only because it becomes supervised by RAs at 7:30. This means there can be no risqué devirginizations, toasts, or speeches, and devirginzations are referred to as den00bizations. If you show up earlier than the time Passionfruit officially starts, the RAs will kick you out back to your dorms.<br />
<br />
==Lancaster==<br />
<br />
Passionfruit first came to [[Lancaster]] in 1994, brought there by [[User:Ayelton|Andromeda Yelton]]. <br />
<br />
At 6 A.M. on [[Lancaster#Hartman Green|Hartman Green]], students form a circle on the brick top with a collection of drinks in the center. At Lancaster Session One, juice has been purchased for the entire group by the [[Alcove]], though in 2007 and 2008 the CTY staff have turned down the money, claiming Passionfruit to be a gift to the students. The Holy Ghost kicks off the festivities with the ceremonial pouring of a sip of SKL into the ground for those who cannot be there; however, as we all know, you never really leave. After all students have gathered, the Emperors or Trinity each give their speeches, customarily ending with "I like you, I love you, I CTY you, I love CTY, and I love the Passionfruit." They then take a drink and pass it onward to the next [[Student Hierarchy#Nomore/Nevermore|nomore/nevermore]]. In theory, after all the nomores/nevermores have spoken, everyone else can give their speech with onemores having priority (But usually due to time constraints, even many nomore/nevermores aren't able to give their speeches). In 14.1, a Post-Passionfruit was held outside the ASFC for nomores who were unable to speak. This attempted inclusion of all students present results in a very long Passionfruit. This has created a few problems, such as a very early morning wake-up, hunger due to lack of a breakfast, and in 2007.1, relocating the Passionfruit to Weis Field due to the noise of construction.<br />
<br />
It is also customary to eat crackers and saltines while others are toasting, although this tradition has largely been lost to Session 2. This was started when, in 99.1, Joe Mermelstein and several of his friends began a competition to see who could steal the most saltines from the dining hall. Upon the beginning of Passionfruit, they realized the had nothing to do with the stolen saltines, and donated them to the event. From then on, saltines and other crackers have been both stolen and bought for Passionfruit and thoroughly enjoyed by all.<br />
<br />
It is also here that the [[Jester]] position, the [[Duct Tape Suit]], the [[Lorekeeper|42 Duct Tape Bathrobe]], the [[Caution Tape Cape]], and the [[Fruitopia bottle]] are passed on during Second Session. <br />
<br />
During First Session, most positions and their holy items are passed down here, including the documentator, trinity, jester, and quotebook. New positions and traditional items are officially christened here by being passed to the next generation, a good example of which is the creation of The Savage in 15.1.<br />
<br />
Most other tradition items are also passed down in Passionfruit, including the lanyard stack, Vladimir's cloak, the coconuts, and the shot glasses during first session.<br />

<br />
===Organization===<br />
<br />
Because there is no persistent emperor position, organization of Passionfruit can be a bit of a mess. <br />
<br />
At session one, though the Trinity has some power over who speaks, it is essentially a free-for-all once the positions and passed items are done speaking. At session two, the responsibility of Emperor is decided at the no-more meeting in the first week, and they have the responsibility to organize the order of speaking and run Passionfruit, as well as being the first to give a speech. This is usually considered to be more of a responsibility than an honor, as it involves dealing with many frustrated CTYers.<br />
<br />
At 16.1, the Trinity decided to hold Passionfruit signups for nomores and impose a time limit of 2:45 on speeches to ensure that everyone got a chance to speak. Holders of positions and items were given extra time to pass down their respective things (positions not held by onemores were passed during Last Supper or after Monkwalk). This was an astonishing success, as everyone got a chance to speak, including some nomores who hadn't signed up and decided to speak last-minute. There was even time to do two End of the Tours and to clean up Hartman Green, an unprecedented instance.<br />
<br />
===Electric Tree===<br />
<br />
The '''Electric Tree''' is a particular tree on [[Hartman Green]] that has an electrical outlet installed at the base of its trunk (although there are actually at least two such tress). This tree is used to play They Might Be Giants songs on the last day of each session, after the Passionfruit. This last traditional event is always bittersweet, and lasts until the second before class starts. It always ends with the song "[[The End of the Tour]]," sometimes played multiple times (sometimes replacing the playing of other TMBG songs)/ This tradition has been observed since at least 1998.<br />
<br />
==Saratoga Springs (Skidmore)==<br />
<br />
Passionfruit at Skidmore takes place at 5:00 A.M on the last day of the session. Students are then seen wandering around trying to shake off headaches caused by excessive amounts of high-fructose corn syrup and sleep deprivation. Everyone who is able to get out of bed is invited, and everyone meets out by the door of Howe-Rounds. Everyone then troops over to the back field behind the gym, and settles down on blankets to watch the sun rise. After a while, the Emperors/Empresses decide it's time for Passionfruit.<br />
<br />
The nevermores and nomores get together and lead the procession through the haze down to the hill above the duck pond. Here the nevermores and nomores form a seated circle and everyone else sits outside to quietly observe.<br />
<br />
The actual Passionfruit Juice is a secret mix of juices only known to the RAs at this point, and the RAs coordinate the purchase of the drink. The drink is poured out and all the members of the circle get a glass. The Empresses make the first speeches, and the designation of speakers proceeds counter-clockwise around the circle. Most speeches are rather short (it is all you can manage at that hour), but all end with the line, "I like you, I love you, I CTY you. I love CTY, and I love the Passionfruit." After this is spoken, everyone repeats the line, "I love CTY, and I love the Passionfruit" and takes a sip of their drink. The last speeches are given by the current Emperors.<br />
<br />
Before the event, the Nevermores agree on the Royalty's successors, and each Emperor/Empress announces one (if a current monarch is missing, his or her same-gender counterpart fulfills his/her role). Eligible candidates are Onemores. At this point the new royalty can make brief remarks and thanks. At session two, the new royalty butt-wrestles the old. Once they are done, everyone packs up and goes home. There is generally a gigantic hugfest, that is broken up after a while by overzealous RA's.<br />

<br />
==Los Angeles (LMU)==<br />
<br />
Passionfruit at LMU is on the last morning at 5:30 A.M. and is only for nevermores, where they share confidential stories that cannot be repeated to anyone else unless stated otherwise. Nomores cannot attend unless they gain permission from the dean [or, in the case of 09, C-Bad.]. The girls and boys meet at Doheny fountain, and then are taken to the bluff, where Passionfruit actually takes place, to watch the sunrise. It is rumored that coveted [[Lanyard#Black Lanyards|Black Lanyards]] are handed out at the end of the event.<br />
<br />
Numerous exceptions were made to Nomores who were 100% sure they weren't going to return. In order to attend, one had to do the following. <br />
*Be 100% sure that they aren't returning<br />
*Be at least in their second year at the site<br />
*Talk to [[The Borings|Jason Boring]] [or, in 09, C-Bad.]<br />
<br />
Double sessioners must get permission from staff [Usually, C-Bad] before going. <br />
<br />
At 14.2, and probably many other sessions, Passionfruit was said to be exclusive to nevermores and nomores, but there was no official enforcement and at least one person attended who thought they were a nomore but ended up returning (oops).<br />
<br />
Black Lanyards were handed out leading up to 07.1, but starting in 08.1, they were no longer handed out as people were coming back, wearing them, pretending to be from Hopkins. As of 08.1, C-Bad attempted to dye student lanyards with Passionfruit Juice, we unfortunately learned that Dark green and pink don't mix well. In 08.2, CTY Lanyards dyed dark green were given to the nevermores at Passionfruit. No lanyards were given out in 09.<br />
<br />
Starting 08.2, a notebook was passed around, in which people could write advice to next year's nevermores and nomores, as well as inside jokes, messages, feelings about leaving, and etc. There was also advice on how to sneak out of CTY, although, who wants to do that?<br />
<br />
Because the new DRL Steph attended Passionfruit in 09, stories about breaking rules were not told except in secret circles. Before this, there were no restrictions on stories told at Passionfruit.<br />
<br />
At 17.1, Passionfruit was not held at the Bluffs, much to the dissatisfaction of the CTYers and RAs. However in 17.2, it was held at the Bluffs after the RAs got permission to move it (Big thanks to RAs Luis and Sarah).<br />
<br />
==JHU==<br />
[[Image:Passionfruit Squirrel Ritual at JHU 09.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The Passionfruit ritual at JHU.09.1]]<br />
Passionfruit has, in the past, been an on-again, off-again tradition for Johns Hopkins University. The first official Passionfruit at Hopkins was started by Rohan Kumthekar in 03.2 when he petitioned site director Joe Cox to hold a Passionfruit circle and watch the sun rise on the morning of the last day. There, the tradition was born to say "I love CTY and I love the Passionfruit." First, all the nevermores were given a chance to make short speeches, and then others could talk about their experiences as well. <br />
<br />
As of 08.1, 08.2, and 09.1, Passionfruit started at 6:30, with the nevermores forming a tight circle on the Gentle Slope, and everyone else (anyone is allowed to come to Passionfruit) forming a circle around them. <br />
<br />
At 10.1, Passionfruit began at 5:45 AM. At 15.2, it began at 6:05. The nevermores all shared a memory, then the rest of the group shared memories. After each memory, and after the entire ceremony, the Passionfruit juice is drunk, along with the customary phrase, "I love CTY and I love the Passionfruit." An Emperor and Empress from the onemores are chosen, and then Passionfruit ends.<br />
<br />
Other traditions may vary depending on the staff/RAs running Passionfruit. In 09 and 10, CTYers used their empty cups of Passionfruit juice (after speeches) to spell out "CTY '09.1." Then, squirrels proceeded to jump/run over the cups without knocking any of them down. At the end of Passionfruit, everyone jumped on and crushed the cups.<br />
<br />
In 10.2, Passionfruit started at 6:11 (at sunrise). However, AMRI blocked everyone's view of the sun from the Gentle Slope. Approximately 100 people attended (120 cups of Passionfruit juice were made by the Empress and a few insomniac RAs, with very few remaining after the ceremony.) The event began with Goddess of BLAMMO/Empress of the Passionfruit Trinity's speech. After people showed reluctance to make a speech following Trinity's, student Maddie Caballero bravely stepped up and shared some of her memories. After a bit more coaxing (Trinity threatened to call out random names over the JHU Megaphone, and carried out said threat a couple of times) the event proceeded without difficulty. Toward the end, Trinity crowned the new God of BLAMMO, Karl Heinlein, in a knighting-style coronation. She then passed on the Passionfruit crown (an oversized blue and yellow sparkly hat) to Chris Yi, who had spoke of returning to JHU the next year as a nevermore in his speech. However, after Passionfruit, Chris confessed he was in fact not returning to JHU, or to CTY in general, in 2011. Thus, Chris and Trinity crowned Karl Heinlein as the true Emperor of Passionfruit in a private ceremony after breakfast. <br />
<br />
In 11.2, Karl Heinlein crowned Ryan Muggleton as both the God and Emperor for 12.2. However, it was later revealed that Muggletown had a prior promise to attend Carlisle, which he upheld instead of assuming the throne of 12.2. <br />
<br />
As a result, there was an unclear hierarchy present in 12.2, where a nevermore declared himself God. Due to the confusion involving the legality of self-crowning, there was also confusion over who would succeed the said nevermore. On the morning of Passionfruit, he crowned [[User: indiekrp|Indie Page]] as the Goddess of BLAMMO for 13.2. However, a couple of other nevermores somehow persuaded him into relinquishing his self-proclaimed powers as Emperor, allowing them to crown [[User: Longlive10.2|Amanda Sin]] (JHU 10.2, 11.2 and 12.2) as the Empress, thus creating two separate monarchs for 13.2. Approximately 30 CTY-ers attended. Passionfruit was held in a vaguely Carlislean manner, with the nevermores and nomores in an inner circle and returners or maybemores making up the outer circle. Passionfruit juice was only supplied to nevermores and nomores. The tradition of 09 and 10 of crushing the cups was revived!<br />
<br />
In 18.1, Passionfruit occurred on the brick circle right outside AMR1 at 6 am, and was attended by at least 50 CTYers. Toasts were made, each ending with, "I love CTY and I love the Passionfruit," and a royal court of four was established. To end the ceremony, CTY was spelled out using cups and crushed after everyone said, "I like you, I love you, I CTY you." <br />
<br />
In 18.2, the same happened, except only the Emperor and Empress were appointed. Note: at the 18.2 Passionfruit, watered down Kool-aid was given to all the students rather than a mix of fruit juices. <br />
[[Image:AMR1 Sunrise Passionfruit.jpg|thumb|700px|center|The Sun Rising Over AMR 1, 12.2]]<br />
[[Image:Passionfruit Cups at JHU 09.jpg|thumb|500px|center|"CTY '09" spelled out in cups; this occurred in both 09.1 and 09.2]]<br />
<br />
==Easton==<br />
<br />
Easton is one of the only CAA sites to have a Passionfruit. It is much the same as at the CTY sites and the tradition began at EST in '06. However, there is no Emperor/Empress, and it is only on the final Friday of camp. Instead of an Emperor/Empress, Passionfruit is often unofficially lead by a few of the nevermores. RAs are rarely involved. All are invited to attend, though few who are returning make speeches, and the drinks, which were once actual passionfruit juice but have degenerated down to hawaiian punch, are provided by the RAs. There was actual passionfruit juice again in 12.1 and 16.1. It was planned to be real passionfruit juice in 16.2, at the demand of RA Allan, but Wawa was out of stock. Sob.<br />
<br />
Before Passionfruit, there had been a nevermore party after the last dance. Passionfruit starts early in the morning of the last day and allows all CAAmpers. During the Passionfruit, CAAmpers sit in a large circle on the quad and drink juice. Some make speeches, some make toasts. This was typically held at 5:00 am (sunrise), however in 10.1 it was changed to 6:00 am. In 12.1 and 12.2 it was held at 5:30am. During 15.1, it was restricted to nomores and nevermores only, but some lied and said they were nomores to attend anyway. It is surprisingly cold at 5am on the quad.<br />
<br />
In 17.1 Passionfruit was not allowed to be attended by anyone other than never/nomores. However, there were many people that were leaving that morning and many non-never/nomores still attended to say goodbye. There was only enough Passionfruit for the people who weren't coming back, so there was a circle of never/nomores on the inside with the Passionfruit juice, and then a circle of others on the outside. Many RAs had told their kids, even though it was banned for them to go, that it was fine if they went to Passionfruit.<br />
<br />
==Santa Cruz==<br />
<br />
Santa Cruz also has Passionfruit. Only nevermores are invited, and it takes place at 6:00 am (5:15 am in 2011) only on the last day. It is led by RAs. In 13.1 invites were not needed to attend Passionfruit, sparking over 100 CTYers in attendance. The 100+ campers (with only 8 being Nevermores) successfully managed to split 7 cartons of Passionfruit. The Admin has decided 13.2 Passionfruit will be invite only.<br />
In 16.1 only nevermores and nomores were invited. It took place at 5:30 and only about 20 people attended the event.<br />
<br />
==Seattle==<br />
Seattle's Passionfruit is held on the last morning of the session on the 12th floor lounge of Campion, also known as Club 12. It starts at 5:00 am. CTYers drink Hawaiian Punch, which is renowned throughout the site for being terrible.<br />
<br />
As of at least 13.2, everyone was eligible to join Passionfruit. This was again the case in 17.2, which was probably a good idea as Passionfruit was not at all popular and opening it up to everyone likely increased attendance by at least a little.<br />
<br />
In 15.2, the Passionfruit drink was very watery and the morning was super cold.<br />
<br />
In 18.1, CTYers drank Passionfruit juice<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Lancaster]] has the most [[student positions]] of any site, due to being one of the most tradition heavy. This is not a complete list of all positions, only those not accorded their own page. For a list of all Lancaster positions, see [[Student position#Lancaster|Lancaster Positions]].<br />
<br />
If a position appears to be missing, it may have been moved to the [[Memories:LAN|Lancaster Memories]] page. Once a position has lasted for over five years- long enough that everyone originally around during its creation has aged out- it may be considered for a move to this page. This pruning is due to the [[shameless egotism]] that has sprung up over the last decade regarding positions.<br />

<br />
==Both Sessions==<br />
<br />
===Quotebook===<br />
<br />
Quotebook spans both sessions. The duties of the person who holds the quotebook are to record funny, inspirational, or just plain weird things that are said at LAN in his or her quotebook, and then publish them for all to see on the internet after CTY. When a holder of the quotebook nomores or nevermores out, their quotebook will be passed down to someone who is coming back the next year and is willing to carry the duties out.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook was passed down at Passionfruit for the first time at 13.2 but may be passed through whatever method is most convenient to the outgoing quotekeeper.<br />
<br />
It began in 08.1, when two year tragedy [[User:Kokomo|Zoe M.]] noticed the multitude of quotable sayings being said wherever she went in Lancaster. Due to the lack of computers and her bad memory, she forgot most of them. Therefore, a quotebook made of notebook paper was created and decorated. It filled up within three days, as well as started to fall apart. A new, sturdy, 80 page mini notebook was bought and decorated. 250 quotes were collected in 08.1, and about 550 were collected the next year. At the end of the session, quotebooks were passed to twomore Marnie P. of second session and onemore Vira Shao of first session. Due to some necessary position switching, is unknown if second session will continue to have a book.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook has proven tricky to keep continuous between sessions, as in 11.1 when there was no Quotebook until the second week when it was realized that there was no Quotekeeping being done. Even if there is no strictly passed-down Quotebook, it is true that wherever there are CTYers, funny things being said, and notebooks for sale, there will be a quotebook<br />
<br />
All quotebooks should in theory be transcribed on the userpages of the quotekeepers.<br />
<br />
After 14.2, [[User:dihalikias|Diana Halikias]] and Sam Mauro (the 15.2 quotebook keeper) created a tumblr for Lancaster Session 2's quotes. It can be found at http://lancasterquotebook.tumblr.com/<br />
<br />
Daniel Rock kept quotes on a sheet of looseleaf paper. His successor purchased a lovely leatherbound unlined notebook to keep quotes in. Many recent Quotebook keepers take submissions before Last Supper (when quotes are read). A good place to hear funny quips and quotations is Acting Improv, where many Keepers go for inspiration. <br />
<br />
After 19.1, [[User:gracechen|Grace Chen]] and [[User:Deej|Deirdre Cunniffe]] (the 19.1 and 20.1 quotebook keepers) created a [[Quotebook|page to upload the quotes of the quotebook]] for all to enjoy.<br />

==Session 1==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.1 Position Holders]]''<br />
===Jack Flash===<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is a First Session position. Their main duty is the organization and management of the stringers and breakdancers during songs such as James Brown is Dead, Sandstorm, etc. Jack Flash will always be a nomore glowsticker, preforming in the circle along with other glowstickers and breakdancers. Jack Flash is also charged with promoting and teaching [[glowsticking]] among the students. Lastly, Jack Flash will play the role of Jack Flash in the students' circle during [[American Pie]].<br />
<br />
The first Jack Flash was Wes McClung, who saw the need for the position and created it in 08.1, his nomore year. The position was passed down to J. T. Booth ("Mongoose") in the form of the orange glowstick used for American Pie during 2nd saturday dance in 08.1. The one used during the last dance exploded in a shower of pure CTY awesomeness.<br />
<br />
In 11.1, a very awesome and PLUR-tastic raver had to leave CTY mid-session and bequeathed upon then-Jack Flash Ajay Nadig a pair of chain raving nun-chuks. Made of precisely <s>44</s> 42 chain links each (the perfect length!), Ajay chose to pass these down as the new Jack Flash relic to Logan C. One of these was unfortunately lost during 14.1 when they were stolen to distract the Jack Flash from holding his Blammo spoon. The popular belief is that it was picked up by a sports camp participant. Spencer McClung made a much longer and heavier chain with 42 links as a substitute. Ariel Uy replaced the chain with a nearly identical one to the original.<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is apparently associated with hats. Glib Dolotov wore a red fedora in 13.1, which he popped off his head whenever he sat on a candlestick at dances. This was passed, and each Jack Flash has passed a different hat. Spencer passed his bear hat, Sara Nill passed a Cookie Monster baseball cap, Ariel passed a JHU bluejays cap, and Matt passed a Santa hat.<br />

<br />
===Lanyard Stack===<br />
<br />
The lanyard stack is a collection of many lanyards and name cards accumulated through the years since 2009. It is meant to represent collecting the memories of CTY over the years. According to Rudy Garcia, it was never actually meant to be passed down at Passionfruit but only as a low-key artifact, although passing at Passionfruit started in 14.1, when Thomas passed it to Steven along with a half gallon of bad [[Turkey Hill]] lemonade. The keeper is expected to add their lanyard from the previous year to the stack. It is rather cumbersome to wear, although most keepers wear it around their necks and with the lanyards braided in an effort to ease the burden. They are then unbraided for Passionfruit. Thomas would loop it around his shoulder. <br />
<br />
Holders of the Lanyards:<br />
<br />
*09.1: Elena Karras<br />
*10.1: Julian Weiss<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />
*12.1: Zoe Colbert<br />
*13.1: Zoe Colbert<br />

*19.1: Jessica Fox<br />
*20.1: [[User:TeleportingPanda| Sam Naiman]]<br />
<br />
===Coconuts===<br />
<br />
Coconuts is a onemore position and typically goes to an individual with knowledge of traditions. Coconuts receives a pair of empty coconut shells covered in duct tape and leads the students for the [[Monk Walk]] during dinner on the last Wednesday. During Passionfruit, the Coconuts of the session usually comes up momentarily in order to pass on their item. The coconuts used to be a relic belonging to the Jester, along with the corresponding responsibilities, but became a separate position in 2010 when the current jester handed them (and the responsibility) to onemore Deena Alexander.<br />
*10.1: Deena Alexander<br />
*11.1: Sam Sagan<br />
*12.1: Benjamin Zweig<br />
*13.1: Lou Lindsay<br />

<br />
===Secretkeeper===<br />
<br />
The Secretkeeper is Lancaster's only secret position. The identity of a Secretkeeper may only be revealed after that position holder's term has expired, and purely at their discretion, so naturally it is the least-known Lancaster position. Should the identity of a keeper be discovered prematurely, the discoverer shall become the new position holder immediately. Although the main duty of a Secretkeeper is to keep their identity classified, they are also expected to aid taxing positions such as the Blammo Gods or Jack Flash whenever possible. The position was created in 10.1 by Jessica Wyatt and was passed down to Lucy He for 11.1.<br /><br />
<br />
During 15.1, the Secretkeeper notebook was mysteriously found in the Alcove by RA Wes and later given to Asher Orner, apparently lost during the Monk Walk. Asher Orner presented the notebook at Passionfruit, but no one claimed it. Since the position holder has not revealed their identity for 2 years running, as is their prerogative, some assumed it to be dead. Asher Orner threw the book into the crowd. A Ctyanonymous post was made soon after by the 16.1 secret keeper, confirming that the position is still alive, and that they have a way to get the notebook back. However, no evidence of the position being alive has been seen since, which has been at least 3 years, it is still considered dead.<br />

===Cloak===<br />
<br />
The Cloak is a majestic article of black velvet. It is silver on the inside. A student who went by Vlad but whose real name was Brian wore this cloak every day without exception throughout 13.1. The cloak took on a distinct CTY smell. Vlad explained at Passionfruit that the cloak was given to him by his squirrel year roommate. He passed the cloak/cape to a onemore. The Cloak Bearer is not required to wear the cloak; they are simply required to own it. The third owner of the cloak, John Isaac Boland, said that the bearer should simply pick a thing to be and be it as much and as hard as possible.<br />

===The Friend===<br />
<br />
The Friend is a position which was created by Brenton Whiting at Passionfruit 12.1 and given to then one-more, Anna Mehrabyan. It should be passed down from a nomore to a onemore. The idea of The Friend, as said by Brenton, is simply to be a friend. Someone to talk to or rely on. The Friend represents the friendships that form and kinship that exists between the wizards at CTY. This person is meant to personify these things and to be willing to be anyone's friend when they need one. The passed down item is a pair of rainbow suspenders, because like the Friend, they are whimsical and when the time comes will hold your pants up.<br />
The suspenders were stolen in 17.1, but Hudson got a new set for 18.1 which happened to come with a rainbow bow tie, so he will pass that down as well.<br />
<br />
Friends:<br />
* 12.1: Brenton Whiting (created position at Passionfruit)<br />

===Shots===<br />
<br />
During a game of Truth or Dare among COGN-A 13.1 students, [[User: cdonegan778|Ciara Donegan]] dared [[User:Andrewmoore|Andrew Moore]] and a few other classmates to drink bubble mix, not expecting anyone to actually do it. However, they did, and they repeated the stupidity every year following during the Thanksgiving Feast, a tradition started by [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]] in 14.1. In 15.1, Andrew bought shot glasses from the bookstore, so at the Thanksgiving Feast, he and other CTYers took shots of bubble mix. At Passionfruit, the shotglasses were used to take shots of SKL. Andrew, at the suggestion of the Trinity, then passed them to onemore [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]], officializing the item.<br />
<br />
The shot glass holders have a reputation for being slightly off their rockers.<br />
<br />
During 15.2, the stunt was repeated (carrying the tradition to session 2) along with the Thanksgiving feast by Andrew and other double-sessioners. Unexpectedly, large amounts of people decided to try a shot and the feast got rather out of hand. This caught the negative attention of DRL Will. At Passionfruit 15.2, the RAs attempted to suppress the passing of the position by preventing Andrew from speaking, but the item was passed down to Apurva afterwards anyway to Apurva Memani. However, the tradition did not continue at 16.2. The holder of the shot glasses, in addition to taking shots, organizes the Thanksgiving feast.<br />
<br />
At 16.1, Victoria led the CTYers in taking shots of a mixture of watermelon, watermelon juice, SKL, and cream soda. When a student suggested that the supreme watermelon overlord who sacrifices Carol should be a position, it was decided that the annual sacrifice of Carol the Watermelon should be forever continued. Rather than create a new position, the two current ringleaders of Carol and Thanksgiving decided to merge their duties and add the killing of Carol to the responsibilities of Shots in the future.<br />
<br />
After the fiasco at 15.2, admin declared that the ingestion of bubble mix was strictly forbidden. Shprinkles was reminded of this at the start of 16.1 with a stern warning. In light of the situation, the Thanksgiving Feast-goers took shots of lemon juice (as it was deemed to be similarly awful), SKL, and different combinations of the two. Admin was fine with this. <br />
<br />
At 18.1, [[User:SuperCrazyMonkey|Justin Su]] was unable to buy lemon juice, and instead brought a bottle of white vinegar to Thanksgiving. Everyone present took shots (some students watered theirs down), and the bottle was emptied. No students were harmed during this time.<br />
<br />
At 19.1, [[User:Xamuel| Sam Schulman]] brought a great amount of lemon juice to the session to prevent make sure vinegar shots never happened again. However, much to the unawareness of [[User:SophiaZR| Sophia Ribeiro]], [[User:AsianDonut| Matthew Maung]] drank all the lemon juice on his own before Thanksgiving. Therefore, the shots were done with Schnaderade, which had been made by Sophia during dinner and kept cool over an AC Unit until quad time. Despite it not tasting as awful as expected, this is not recommended. Please bring lemon juice and make sure nobody drinks it. Please.<br />

===King James===<br />
<br />
The position of King/Queen James is very similar to the position of Jack Flash. King James is a glowsticking position, that is bestowed on a glowsticker who embodies P.L.U.R., demonstrates their passion for glowsticking in their performance, and shares the artistry of glowsticking with the greater community whether through teaching or otherwise. They are more of a rallying point and encouraging, positive force in the glowsticking community as well as a leader. Even so, King James should ensure that the rave circle is always big enough to give everyone enough space to rave and ensure that two rave songs are played at each dance. This position was created in 2010 session 2 by [[User:Sqfnyc|Sam Fomon]]. During "[[James Brown is Dead]]" at the last dance of 10.2, instead of passing on her [[User:Sqfnyc#The James Brown Lives Jacket|James Brown Lives jacket]], she coronated Ryan Cebulko as King James I using a luminous crown she had fashioned from a plastic gold crown and EL-wire. This is to be the relic for King James, and each wearer of the crown should ideally add something shiny, flashy, and/or glow-y to the crown to make it even more seizure-inducing in the rave circle. King/Queen James is not necessarily given to a onemore, yet the recipient is encouraged to wear the crown for only one year and then pass it on in ceremony at the final "James Brown is Dead" of session. Jackie Liu made the crown anew, styled after the first, to guarantee its longevity and wearability, no matter whose cranium it cradles.<br />
<br />

* 19.2: [[User:C.skinnergrant|Ceci Skinner Grant]] and [[user:curiositykilledthekat|Kat Liang]] (unable to return), Co-King James VIII<br />
<br />
===Squirrel of the Year===<br />
<br />
''Example'' is a CD by a band called For Squirrels. It was discovered in the fall of 2006 by [[User: Mint Sharpie|Ariel Hyre]], who simply could not leave it where she found it. She brought it back to Lancaster in 07.2, her nomore year, with the intent of passing it on to a worthy squirrel who had the intention of returning. The disc is to be bestowed on a squirrel at Passionfruit of Second Session at Lancaster, one who has approached CTY with great energy and enthusiasm and who plans to return the following year. For this reason, this position is frequently referred to as Squirrel of the Year. Muskaan Garg, however, lost the CD. She redeemed herself by replacing the CD with a stuffed edamame toy as a play on words of the acronym for Squirrel of the Year, SOY. <br />

===Duct Tape Dress Wearer===<br />
<br />
The Duct Tape Dress was created by [[User:Yulia|Yulia Korovikov]] in Second Session of 2007. The dress is very shiny and of quite good quality, though it requires frequent repair. Yulia decided to pass down the dress at Passionfruit to Ellie Kladky, whom she, along with many others, felt deserved a special item and title for her nomore year. Ellie returned in 08.2 and treated the dress as a friendly gift rather than a weighty tradition, and so gave it to Lena Beckenstein after the Passionfruit was over to avoid the trend of making empty traditions. However, the dress managed to survive and continues to be passed down. In 09.2, when Dennis Cowan received the dress, there were some issues with getting it to fit. Because of this, the dress was remade with velcro down one side so as to be easier to put on and take off. In 14.2, when October Henley wore the dress, it was discovered that the velcro had been inside out for years, and had accumulated all of its adornments on the wrong side. It was refurbished right-side out, every major fixture transplanted to the new front. As of 15.2, the dress now sports pockets in an attempt both to make the dress easier to wear with regards to the joys of being able to place things in them (up to and including an entire roll of duct tape!), as well as to hopefully prevent another inside-out incident. <br />
The Duct Tape Dress has been associated with enthusiasm, whether it is for CTY culture, sketchiness, or just doing as the wearer pleases, no matter how off the beaten path it is, as well as the encouragement of such behavior in others. Since 13.2, it has begun to collect love tape every love tape day.<br />

===Kiwi Backpack===<br />
<br />
The Kiwi Backpack was first given as a kindergarten gift from a boy known by his nick name "Kiwi" to his best friend, Hang-Hang, who was nicknamed "Strawberry". Hang-Hang carried around the backpack for ten years and was rarely seen without it; it was almost an extra limb, both at home and when he came to CTY. At CTY, he met Dan Russotto, and at Passionfruit of session two, 2010, Hang-Hang passed it down to Dan, his willingness to part with the navy backpack with "KIWI" embroidered on the front the ultimate symbol friendship. The backpack continues to symbolize friendship imparted; in the words of Louie Brown, "Basically, [the backpack symbolizes] someone who is a friend, someone who will always have your back, who will always be there to talk with you when you're down, when you need a shoulder or a voice in your life." <br />
<br />
Holders of the Kiwi Backpack:<br />
*10.2: Hang-Hang<br />
*11.2: [[User: AqueousFire|Dan Russotto]]<br />

*17.2: Alex Burnside<br />
*18.2: Claire Davis<br />
*19.2: Alexandra Mendelsohn<br />
<br />
===Rascal===<br />
<br />
The Rascal, formerly known as the Pedobear, is a session two position started with Loren Sherman who first passed down a teddy bear and position Pedobear to Venya Mayakovsky. However the Bear was lost. In 2012, a bear hat was given to Nick Richardson by Gia Rigoli. Nick decided to pass down the bear hat in place of the actual bear. Their job is to promote sketchiness and help the Fiend. Moreover, the Rascal is an advocate of experimentation for themselves and others, and is someone to cuddle with or be sketchy with, as long as you're comfortable. <br />
Note: the Rascal and Chester Q. Carter are positions created in the same year, by the same person, carried out the next year by the same person, but are distinct entities and occur over different sessions.<br />
<br />
Rascals:<br />
* 12.2: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.2: Nick Richardson<br />
* 14.2: Andrea Tsao<br />
* 15.2: Mona Lee<br />
* 16.2: Claire Medina<br />
* 17.2: Gloria Herman<br />
* 18.2: Rene Itah<br />
* 19.2: Maira Carloni<br />
<br />
===Egg Parent===<br />
<br />
<p>The Egg Parent was originated at 15.2 by [[User:halloweenpants|Elliot Grant]]. The Egg Parent is the camper responsible for ensuring that session two's pride parade goes forward and ensuring that the Equality Egg is given new tape on Love Tape Day.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position itself was originated at 15.2, however, the artifact with which the position is passed down was created during 14.2, when Elliot was thrown into a popsickle stick crafting activity and created a giant egg out of duct tape and popsickle sticks. The egg was just that--an egg--until, during the first dance of 14.2, while Elliot and his friends were holding up the egg and chanting, a kid with a history of homophobia and sexism began to squeeze the egg, partially crushing it. Once the egg was repaired, it became known as the Equality Egg.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position came about after Elliot, with the help of Hanna Hildebolt, Rosemary Wonell, Colin Sackett, and others, and with special thanks to R.A. Viv, were able to bring back CTY Pride. The idea was sparked first by Skylar Karzhevsky. CTY Pride occurs on Love Tape Day and features slightly modified Afterdance chants, both versions of which are listed in the Nomorenomicon. The egg is meant to be passed down quietly immediately following the parade. However, Jessica Kuleshov, the second egg parent, passed it down to Ky during Passionfruit.</p><br />
<br />
Egg Parents:<br />
* 15.2: Elliot Grant<br />
* 16.2 Jessica Kuleshov<br />
* 17.2 Ky Lynch<br />
* 18.2 Archer Goodwyn<br />
* 19.2 Felix Brener<br />
* 20.2 Charlotte Price<br />
<br />
===Fanhammer===<br />
<p>The Fanhammer is a large hammer made from cardboard boxes wrapped neatly in grey duct tape, with a band of glow-in-the-dark duct tape wrapped around the base of the handle. It also has a duct-tape wrist loop at the end of the handle, which requires frequent repair. It is quite sturdy and is a viable weapon for bopping people with. The holder of the Fanhammer is a position usually given to a two-more, passed down very unofficially at some point near the end of the session or at passionfruit. The hammer was created by the hall of Max Franklin during 12.2, and the hammer was given to him to hold the following year, bearing the name "Mjolnir". Since then it has been customary for the holder of the Fanhammer to re-dub it with a name of their own choice. The holder of the hammer should carry it around during the session and use it to affectionately whack other CTYers. </p><br />
<br />
Hammer Holders:<br />
*12.2 Max Franklin, Chris Grossack, Theo Lipeles<br />
*13.2 Max Franklin<br />
*14.2 Milan Roberson<br />
*15.2 Sophia Hager<br />
*16.2 Annie Gleiberman (When Savannah Parrot could not return)<br />
*17.2 Jake Landsman<br />
*18.2 Jamie Landsman<br />
*19.2 [[User: Savannah.neibart|Savannah Neibart]]<br />
<br />
===Anglerfish===<br />
<br />
The Anglerfish was a flamboyant sparkly cowboy hat, with two glowsticks attached to the brim. It derives its name from a certain deep sea Lophiiforme. At Lancaster session 2, the Anglerfish is a sign of individuality and self confidence. It is traditionally worn at every dance and quad time. That was until the end of 18.2 when the cowboy hat was stolen—currently, Clara Robertson, former Anglerfish wearer, is working on a new artifact. The Anglerfish is held for the wearer’s onemore and nomore years.<br />
<br />
Wearers:<br />
* 15.2: Ethan<br />
* 16.2-17.2: Russell Schwartz<br />
* 18.2-19.2: Clara Robertson<br />
* 20.2-21.2: Avery Lamprecht<br />
<br />
== Defunct Positions and Passed Items ==<br />
<br />
Some items or positions that have been passed down have not been revived or continued. Most of these positions are not likely to be brought up again. Here, they rest, until their records may be placed in a more proper location.<br />
<br />
===Satan (Session One)===<br />
<br />
Satan is still a part of the Session Two Pentinity, where it is now known as the Fiend. At Session One, the position of Satan died when Brenton Whiting failed to pass it down in 2012. It still informally exists, but only as an American Pie role any nomore/nevermore may sign up for.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Panda===<br />
<br />
In 2013, Kayla (Dos) Ende passed her dearly beloved stuffed panda bear to Masha Zhdanova after Passionfruit. The holder of the Panda Bear (according to Masha) should be a low-key loving person. The Panda was passed for two years until Kayla expressed her desire to have it back, as she had not intended it to be anything official. The passing never occurred during Passionfruit but rather afterwards.<br />
<br />
*13.1: Kayla (Dos) Ende<br />
*14.1: Masha Zhdanova<br />
*15.1: Chris Ponsa Nazario<br />
<br />
===Chester Q. Carter===<br />
<br />
Chester Q. Carter, or CQC, was the nickname of Loren Sherman, whose nomore session was 11.2. Loren was jokingly known for his status as "pimp" among his friends. Venya Mayakovsky, double-sessioning in his final year of 2012, informally declared himself CQC of 12.1. He then began considering making it an actual position. Loren's girlfriend, Hannah (still at CTY), spoke with Loren over the phone, and he gave his consent to CQC becoming a position. Venya did not give a Passionfruit speech at session 1, so even the ceremony of passing the position down was incredibly informal, although in the grand scheme of things, it could really be thought of as almost a joke position, but a position nonetheless. The purpose of the position is, as said by Venya and his successor Peter, is to teach the importance of independence and staying true to yourself and your own personal happiness, although not necessarily in a selfish manner. (But everyone knows it's really about getting all of the biddies.) The passed down item is intended to be a top hat (Loren is known for wearing one), but the top hat has yet to be purchased by the current positionholder.<br />
<br />
CQC was apparently not passed<br />
<br />
CQCs:<br />
* 11.2: Loren Sherman<br />
* 12.1: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.1: Peter Suh<br />
<br />
===The Guide===<br />
<br />
After the end of session 1 2011, Sam Cawkwell had the idea of creating a guide to CTY for squirrels to help them integrate more easily into the student culture. The guide is co-written by many wizards, but always led by the person who holds the position of The Guide. The passed down item is the master copy of the Guide itself from the previous year. For example, Sam passed down the 2012 edition of the Guide to Hannah Barclay. Unfortunately, Hannah did not return in 13.1, and the Guide was quietly phased out. It was generally considered by some (I emphasize the ''some'') to be a useless addition to Lancaster's culture.<br />
<br />
*12.1: Sam Cawkwell<br />
*13.1: Hannah Barclay<br />
<br />
===The Pimp===<br />
<br />
The Pimp, or Master Pimp is a first session position. The duty of The Pimp is to use his/her insanely amazing sexiness to make other incredible CTYers feel loved, good about themselves, and unbearably sexy as well. The Pimp is often found in the center of pimp-lines and encourages other pimp-lines to form. S/he is a frequent giver of hugs and other public displays of affection. <br />
<br />
Monogamy is not unheard of in the polygamous lifestyle of The Pimp, although it usually occurs toward the end of the session. The Pimp must keep in mind however, that loving one person more does not mean they have to love the rest of CTY less. If the Pimp is fortunate enough to form a relationship with an understanding and not particularly territorial CTYer, then he/she need not cease whoring off of everyone else. The Pimp should be a rather out-going CTYer who is loving, caring, and sexy beyond reason.<br />
<br />
The role of the Pimp is a far less pronounced roles than the roles of most other Lancastrian positions. The position, in fact, is not even passed down during CTY, but is given a less official transfer via direct communication between past and present Pimps.<br />
<br />
Pimps:<br />
* 07.1: Aaron Ladd<br />
* 08.1: [[User: PathologicalLiar|Kate Wymbs]] (Ev Maus may have also done some pimping during 08.1; however, it was not official)<br />
<br />
===Bitch Bra===<br />
<br />
This article of clothing is a strapless, hot pink bra with seven claps. During Session 2 of 2007, this bra was forfeited/passed on to [[user:maggieanne|Maggie Farrell]], as a twomore, by Nixxi Chen. The receiver of this bra is someone who is known as a 'bitch' because she speaks her mind. She also knows her way around inducing pain throughout a male's genitalia (just kidding...or am I?). <br />
<br />
For purposes of making it CTYA, the significance behind this bra, asides from being the ruling Queen Bitch, is that the wearer knows how to make fun of themselves and not take things too seriously. However when her friends need her she's always the shoulder to cry on.<br />
<br />
* 2007: Nixxi Chen<br />
* 2008-2009: Maggie Farrell<br />
<br />
===Jay and Silent Bob===<br />
<br />
Jay and Silent Bob is a new tradition that may or may not be revived as seen fit. It all started on Halloween at CTY Lancaster Session 2 2006 when Cristina D'Ancona dressed up as Jay from the movies "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Dogma" and others. Immediately, her friend Peter Treadway caught the reference and changed his costume (originally it had been "emo") by borrowing a bathrobe and a hat and drawing a beard on his face with sharpie to represent Jay's infamous partner, Silent Bob. Jay and Silent Bob proceeded to terrorize the campus with their antics, their place in CTY history carved in stone.<br />
<br />
The Jay and Silent Bob tradition is unique in that it CANNOT be passed on to the next generation of CTYers by the current Jay and Silent Bob. Anyone who wishes to continue the tradition only needs to don the costume, and play the part.<br />
<br />
===Risk Board===<br />
<br />
At Passionfruit of LAN 06.2, Greg Lawrence passed his Risk board which he'd used in previous years down to Vishal Mehta. The Board had been modified in Sharpie, changing the names of the oceans to various geographic locations at Franklin and Marshall, and the names of the continents to types of [[courses]] and groups of wizards. The idea behind it was that each bearer of the Board would cross out a territory's name and rename it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Vishal chose not to return to CTY in 2007. Instead, he chose to go to some medical study in California. As such, the Board is currently discontinued, and extremely unlikely to come back again.<br />
<br />
===Hammertime===<br />
<br />
The Hammertime has several definitions:<br />
<br />
# The official time zone of CTY Lancaster Session 2, especially during [[Silent Football]], but still applicable elsewhere.<br />
# The time on the watch of [[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]], which may or may not correspond with CTY time.<br />
# The time on the watch of the person wearing the Hammertime mood ring.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Jeff has lost the mood ring, which he had planned on passing down to the next Keeper of the Hammertime.<br />
<br />
Relatedly, during opening ceremonies at LAN.09.2, Matt the DRL declared, "CTY time is 7:21 p.m." supposedly neglecting to include the word "currently." This led many to respond throughout the session to the question, "What time is it?" with "7:21 p.m." along with the occasional "Hammertime," and also [un]officially established the time (in addition to the time zone) of Lancaster Session 2 as 7:21 p.m., Hammertime.<br />
<br />
====Origin of the Hammertime====<br />
<br />
Hammertime was created during a game of Silent Football during LAN.05.2, some time after music was declared existant within the universe.<br />
<br />
During this game, MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" was being played from a Kunkel balcony. The universe was dancing happily. Suddenly, <b>horror of unspeakable horrors</b>, a player wanted to know what time it was! Said player raised said player's hand and made said player's query, stating, "Mr. Dictator, what is the current time?" to which Mr. Dictator <br />
(Shea Levy) replied, "It is the Hammertime." To which the ever-curious player replied, "What is the current hammertime?" A certain player, [[User:Jeff Sachs|Dr. Strangelove or: Etymologies SUCKS]], was then called on and said, "Mr. Dictator, the current Hammertime is X:YZ." The term Hammertime was used repeatedly to ask this question, and the same player always had the answer. That player then made a request, saying, "Mr. Dictator I motion that the official time zone of the Universe be the Hammertime!" This motion was granted and has been enstated ever since.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Lancaster]] has the most [[student positions]] of any site, due to being one of the most tradition heavy. This is not a complete list of all positions, only those not accorded their own page. For a list of all Lancaster positions, see [[Student position#Lancaster|Lancaster Positions]].<br />
<br />
If a position appears to be missing, it may have been moved to the [[Memories:LAN|Lancaster Memories]] page. Once a position has lasted for over five years- long enough that everyone originally around during its creation has aged out- it may be considered for a move to this page. This pruning is due to the [[shameless egotism]] that has sprung up over the last decade regarding positions.<br />

==Both Sessions==<br />
<br />
===Quotebook===<br />
<br />
Quotebook spans both sessions. The duties of the person who holds the quotebook are to record funny, inspirational, or just plain weird things that are said at LAN in his or her quotebook, and then publish them for all to see on the internet after CTY. When a holder of the quotebook nomores or nevermores out, their quotebook will be passed down to someone who is coming back the next year and is willing to carry the duties out.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook was passed down at Passionfruit for the first time at 13.2 but may be passed through whatever method is most convenient to the outgoing quotekeeper.<br />
<br />
It began in 08.1, when two year tragedy [[User:Kokomo|Zoe M.]] noticed the multitude of quotable sayings being said wherever she went in Lancaster. Due to the lack of computers and her bad memory, she forgot most of them. Therefore, a quotebook made of notebook paper was created and decorated. It filled up within three days, as well as started to fall apart. A new, sturdy, 80 page mini notebook was bought and decorated. 250 quotes were collected in 08.1, and about 550 were collected the next year. At the end of the session, quotebooks were passed to twomore Marnie P. of second session and onemore Vira Shao of first session. Due to some necessary position switching, is unknown if second session will continue to have a book.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook has proven tricky to keep continuous between sessions, as in 11.1 when there was no Quotebook until the second week when it was realized that there was no Quotekeeping being done. Even if there is no strictly passed-down Quotebook, it is true that wherever there are CTYers, funny things being said, and notebooks for sale, there will be a quotebook<br />
<br />
All quotebooks should in theory be transcribed on the userpages of the quotekeepers.<br />
<br />
After 14.2, [[User:dihalikias|Diana Halikias]] and Sam Mauro (the 15.2 quotebook keeper) created a tumblr for Lancaster Session 2's quotes. It can be found at http://lancasterquotebook.tumblr.com/<br />
<br />
Daniel Rock kept quotes on a sheet of looseleaf paper. His successor purchased a lovely leatherbound unlined notebook to keep quotes in. Many recent Quotebook keepers take submissions before Last Supper (when quotes are read). A good place to hear funny quips and quotations is Acting Improv, where many Keepers go for inspiration. <br />
<br />
After 19.1, [[User:gracechen|Grace Chen]] and [[User:Deej|Deirdre Cunniffe]] (the 19.1 and 20.1 quotebook keepers) created a [[Quotebook|page to upload the quotes of the quotebook]] for all to enjoy.<br />

==Session 1==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.1 Position Holders]]''<br />
===Jack Flash===<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is a First Session position. Their main duty is the organization and management of the stringers and breakdancers during songs such as James Brown is Dead, Sandstorm, etc. Jack Flash will always be a nomore glowsticker, preforming in the circle along with other glowstickers and breakdancers. Jack Flash is also charged with promoting and teaching [[glowsticking]] among the students. Lastly, Jack Flash will play the role of Jack Flash in the students' circle during [[American Pie]].<br />
<br />
The first Jack Flash was Wes McClung, who saw the need for the position and created it in 08.1, his nomore year. The position was passed down to J. T. Booth ("Mongoose") in the form of the orange glowstick used for American Pie during 2nd saturday dance in 08.1. The one used during the last dance exploded in a shower of pure CTY awesomeness.<br />
<br />
In 11.1, a very awesome and PLUR-tastic raver had to leave CTY mid-session and bequeathed upon then-Jack Flash Ajay Nadig a pair of chain raving nun-chuks. Made of precisely <s>44</s> 42 chain links each (the perfect length!), Ajay chose to pass these down as the new Jack Flash relic to Logan C. One of these was unfortunately lost during 14.1 when they were stolen to distract the Jack Flash from holding his Blammo spoon. The popular belief is that it was picked up by a sports camp participant. Spencer McClung made a much longer and heavier chain with 42 links as a substitute. Ariel Uy replaced the chain with a nearly identical one to the original.<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is apparently associated with hats. Glib Dolotov wore a red fedora in 13.1, which he popped off his head whenever he sat on a candlestick at dances. This was passed, and each Jack Flash has passed a different hat. Spencer passed his bear hat, Sara Nill passed a Cookie Monster baseball cap, Ariel passed a JHU bluejays cap, and Matt passed a Santa hat.<br />

<br />
===Lanyard Stack===<br />
<br />
The lanyard stack is a collection of many lanyards and name cards accumulated through the years since 2009. It is meant to represent collecting the memories of CTY over the years. According to Rudy Garcia, it was never actually meant to be passed down at Passionfruit but only as a low-key artifact, although passing at Passionfruit started in 14.1, when Thomas passed it to Steven along with a half gallon of bad [[Turkey Hill]] lemonade. The keeper is expected to add their lanyard from the previous year to the stack. It is rather cumbersome to wear, although most keepers wear it around their necks and with the lanyards braided in an effort to ease the burden. They are then unbraided for Passionfruit. Thomas would loop it around his shoulder. <br />
<br />
Holders of the Lanyards:<br />
<br />
*09.1: Elena Karras<br />
*10.1: Julian Weiss<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />

*19.1: Jessica Fox<br />
*20.1: [[User:TeleportingPanda| Sam Naiman]]<br />
<br />
===Coconuts===<br />
<br />
Coconuts is a onemore position and typically goes to an individual with knowledge of traditions. Coconuts receives a pair of empty coconut shells covered in duct tape and leads the students for the [[Monk Walk]] during dinner on the last Wednesday. During Passionfruit, the Coconuts of the session usually comes up momentarily in order to pass on their item. The coconuts used to be a relic belonging to the Jester, along with the corresponding responsibilities, but became a separate position in 2010 when the current jester handed them (and the responsibility) to onemore Deena Alexander.<br />
*10.1: Deena Alexander<br />
*11.1: Sam Sagan<br />
*12.1: Benjamin Zweig<br />
*13.1: Lou Lindsay<br />
*14.1: [[User:Qatarina|Katrina Howard]]<br />

*17.1: [[User: Brick|Oliver "Brick" Reinhardt]]<br />
*18.1: Jordyn Flaherty<br />
*19.1: Ava Lazar<br />
*20.1: Henry Goldschmidt<br />
<br />
===Secretkeeper===<br />
<br />
The Secretkeeper is Lancaster's only secret position. The identity of a Secretkeeper may only be revealed after that position holder's term has expired, and purely at their discretion, so naturally it is the least-known Lancaster position. Should the identity of a keeper be discovered prematurely, the discoverer shall become the new position holder immediately. Although the main duty of a Secretkeeper is to keep their identity classified, they are also expected to aid taxing positions such as the Blammo Gods or Jack Flash whenever possible. The position was created in 10.1 by Jessica Wyatt and was passed down to Lucy He for 11.1.<br /><br />
<br />
During 15.1, the Secretkeeper notebook was mysteriously found in the Alcove by RA Wes and later given to Asher Orner, apparently lost during the Monk Walk. Asher Orner presented the notebook at Passionfruit, but no one claimed it. Since the position holder has not revealed their identity for 2 years running, as is their prerogative, some assumed it to be dead. Asher Orner threw the book into the crowd. A Ctyanonymous post was made soon after by the 16.1 secret keeper, confirming that the position is still alive, and that they have a way to get the notebook back. However, no evidence of the position being alive has been seen since, which has been at least 3 years, it is still considered dead.<br />
<br />
Secretkeepers:<br />

<br />
===Cloak===<br />
<br />
The Cloak is a majestic article of black velvet. It is silver on the inside. A student who went by Vlad but whose real name was Brian wore this cloak every day without exception throughout 13.1. The cloak took on a distinct CTY smell. Vlad explained at Passionfruit that the cloak was given to him by his squirrel year roommate. He passed the cloak/cape to a onemore. The Cloak Bearer is not required to wear the cloak; they are simply required to own it. The third owner of the cloak, John Isaac Boland, said that the bearer should simply pick a thing to be and be it as much and as hard as possible.<br />
<br />
Cloak Bearers:<br />
*10.1: Evan Connors<br />
*11-13.1: Brian "Igor" DeRose<br />
*14.1: John Isaac Boland<br />
*15.1: Grace Drake<br />
*16.1: Sophia "Elphie" Hager<br />

*19.1: [[User:Julien Goodrich|Julien Goodrich]] (when [[User:Aleighyoung|Alex Young]] could not return)<br />
*20.1: Alex Rhoman<br />
<br />
===The Friend===<br />
<br />
The Friend is a position which was created by Brenton Whiting at Passionfruit 12.1 and given to then one-more, Anna Mehrabyan. It should be passed down from a nomore to a onemore. The idea of The Friend, as said by Brenton, is simply to be a friend. Someone to talk to or rely on. The Friend represents the friendships that form and kinship that exists between the wizards at CTY. This person is meant to personify these things and to be willing to be anyone's friend when they need one. The passed down item is a pair of rainbow suspenders, because like the Friend, they are whimsical and when the time comes will hold your pants up.<br />
The suspenders were stolen in 17.1, but Hudson got a new set for 18.1 which happened to come with a rainbow bow tie, so he will pass that down as well.<br />
<br />
Friends:<br />
* 12.1: Brenton Whiting (created position at Passionfruit)<br />
* 13.1: Hannah Mitlak (filled in for the absent [[User: Anulik96|Anna Mehrabyan]])<br />

* 19.1: [[User:Swolff24|Sylvie Wolff]]<br />
* 20.1: Daniella Tsang<br />
<br />
===Shots===<br />
<br />
During a game of Truth or Dare among COGN-A 13.1 students, [[User: cdonegan778|Ciara Donegan]] dared [[User:Andrewmoore|Andrew Moore]] and a few other classmates to drink bubble mix, not expecting anyone to actually do it. However, they did, and they repeated the stupidity every year following during the Thanksgiving Feast, a tradition started by [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]] in 14.1. In 15.1, Andrew bought shot glasses from the bookstore, so at the Thanksgiving Feast, he and other CTYers took shots of bubble mix. At Passionfruit, the shotglasses were used to take shots of SKL. Andrew, at the suggestion of the Trinity, then passed them to onemore [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]], officializing the item.<br />
<br />
The shot glass holders have a reputation for being slightly off their rockers.<br />
<br />
During 15.2, the stunt was repeated (carrying the tradition to session 2) along with the Thanksgiving feast by Andrew and other double-sessioners. Unexpectedly, large amounts of people decided to try a shot and the feast got rather out of hand. This caught the negative attention of DRL Will. At Passionfruit 15.2, the RAs attempted to suppress the passing of the position by preventing Andrew from speaking, but the item was passed down to Apurva afterwards anyway to Apurva Memani. However, the tradition did not continue at 16.2. The holder of the shot glasses, in addition to taking shots, organizes the Thanksgiving feast.<br />
<br />
At 16.1, Victoria led the CTYers in taking shots of a mixture of watermelon, watermelon juice, SKL, and cream soda. When a student suggested that the supreme watermelon overlord who sacrifices Carol should be a position, it was decided that the annual sacrifice of Carol the Watermelon should be forever continued. Rather than create a new position, the two current ringleaders of Carol and Thanksgiving decided to merge their duties and add the killing of Carol to the responsibilities of Shots in the future.<br />
<br />
After the fiasco at 15.2, admin declared that the ingestion of bubble mix was strictly forbidden. Shprinkles was reminded of this at the start of 16.1 with a stern warning. In light of the situation, the Thanksgiving Feast-goers took shots of lemon juice (as it was deemed to be similarly awful), SKL, and different combinations of the two. Admin was fine with this. <br />
<br />
At 18.1, [[User:SuperCrazyMonkey|Justin Su]] was unable to buy lemon juice, and instead brought a bottle of white vinegar to Thanksgiving. Everyone present took shots (some students watered theirs down), and the bottle was emptied. No students were harmed during this time.<br />
<br />
At 19.1, [[User:Xamuel| Sam Schulman]] brought a great amount of lemon juice to the session to prevent make sure vinegar shots never happened again. However, much to the unawareness of [[User:SophiaZR| Sophia Ribeiro]], [[User:AsianDonut| Matthew Maung]] drank all the lemon juice on his own before Thanksgiving. Therefore, the shots were done with Schnaderade, which had been made by Sophia during dinner and kept cool over an AC Unit until quad time. Despite it not tasting as awful as expected, this is not recommended. Please bring lemon juice and make sure nobody drinks it. Please.<br />

==Session 2==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.2 Position Holders]]''<br />
===King James===<br />
<br />
The position of King/Queen James is very similar to the position of Jack Flash. King James is a glowsticking position, that is bestowed on a glowsticker who embodies P.L.U.R., demonstrates their passion for glowsticking in their performance, and shares the artistry of glowsticking with the greater community whether through teaching or otherwise. They are more of a rallying point and encouraging, positive force in the glowsticking community as well as a leader. Even so, King James should ensure that the rave circle is always big enough to give everyone enough space to rave and ensure that two rave songs are played at each dance. This position was created in 2010 session 2 by [[User:Sqfnyc|Sam Fomon]]. During "[[James Brown is Dead]]" at the last dance of 10.2, instead of passing on her [[User:Sqfnyc#The James Brown Lives Jacket|James Brown Lives jacket]], she coronated Ryan Cebulko as King James I using a luminous crown she had fashioned from a plastic gold crown and EL-wire. This is to be the relic for King James, and each wearer of the crown should ideally add something shiny, flashy, and/or glow-y to the crown to make it even more seizure-inducing in the rave circle. King/Queen James is not necessarily given to a onemore, yet the recipient is encouraged to wear the crown for only one year and then pass it on in ceremony at the final "James Brown is Dead" of session. Jackie Liu made the crown anew, styled after the first, to guarantee its longevity and wearability, no matter whose cranium it cradles.<br />

* 19.2: [[User:C.skinnergrant|Ceci Skinner Grant]] and [[user:curiositykilledthekat|Kat Liang]] (unable to return), Co-King James VIII<br />
<br />
===Squirrel of the Year===<br />
<br />
''Example'' is a CD by a band called For Squirrels. It was discovered in the fall of 2006 by [[User: Mint Sharpie|Ariel Hyre]], who simply could not leave it where she found it. She brought it back to Lancaster in 07.2, her nomore year, with the intent of passing it on to a worthy squirrel who had the intention of returning. The disc is to be bestowed on a squirrel at Passionfruit of Second Session at Lancaster, one who has approached CTY with great energy and enthusiasm and who plans to return the following year. For this reason, this position is frequently referred to as Squirrel of the Year. Muskaan Garg, however, lost the CD. She redeemed herself by replacing the CD with a stuffed edamame toy as a play on words of the acronym for Squirrel of the Year, SOY. <br />

===Duct Tape Dress Wearer===<br />
<br />
The Duct Tape Dress was created by [[User:Yulia|Yulia Korovikov]] in Second Session of 2007. The dress is very shiny and of quite good quality, though it requires frequent repair. Yulia decided to pass down the dress at Passionfruit to Ellie Kladky, whom she, along with many others, felt deserved a special item and title for her nomore year. Ellie returned in 08.2 and treated the dress as a friendly gift rather than a weighty tradition, and so gave it to Lena Beckenstein after the Passionfruit was over to avoid the trend of making empty traditions. However, the dress managed to survive and continues to be passed down. In 09.2, when Dennis Cowan received the dress, there were some issues with getting it to fit. Because of this, the dress was remade with velcro down one side so as to be easier to put on and take off. In 14.2, when October Henley wore the dress, it was discovered that the velcro had been inside out for years, and had accumulated all of its adornments on the wrong side. It was refurbished right-side out, every major fixture transplanted to the new front. As of 15.2, the dress now sports pockets in an attempt both to make the dress easier to wear with regards to the joys of being able to place things in them (up to and including an entire roll of duct tape!), as well as to hopefully prevent another inside-out incident. <br />
The Duct Tape Dress has been associated with enthusiasm, whether it is for CTY culture, sketchiness, or just doing as the wearer pleases, no matter how off the beaten path it is, as well as the encouragement of such behavior in others. Since 13.2, it has begun to collect love tape every love tape day.<br />

===Kiwi Backpack===<br />
<br />
The Kiwi Backpack was first given as a kindergarten gift from a boy known by his nick name "Kiwi" to his best friend, Hang-Hang, who was nicknamed "Strawberry". Hang-Hang carried around the backpack for ten years and was rarely seen without it; it was almost an extra limb, both at home and when he came to CTY. At CTY, he met Dan Russotto, and at Passionfruit of session two, 2010, Hang-Hang passed it down to Dan, his willingness to part with the navy backpack with "KIWI" embroidered on the front the ultimate symbol friendship. The backpack continues to symbolize friendship imparted; in the words of Louie Brown, "Basically, [the backpack symbolizes] someone who is a friend, someone who will always have your back, who will always be there to talk with you when you're down, when you need a shoulder or a voice in your life." <br />

===Rascal===<br />
<br />
The Rascal, formerly known as the Pedobear, is a session two position started with Loren Sherman who first passed down a teddy bear and position Pedobear to Venya Mayakovsky. However the Bear was lost. In 2012, a bear hat was given to Nick Richardson by Gia Rigoli. Nick decided to pass down the bear hat in place of the actual bear. Their job is to promote sketchiness and help the Fiend. Moreover, the Rascal is an advocate of experimentation for themselves and others, and is someone to cuddle with or be sketchy with, as long as you're comfortable. <br />
Note: the Rascal and Chester Q. Carter are positions created in the same year, by the same person, carried out the next year by the same person, but are distinct entities and occur over different sessions.<br />

<br />
===Egg Parent===<br />
<br />
<p>The Egg Parent was originated at 15.2 by [[User:halloweenpants|Elliot Grant]]. The Egg Parent is the camper responsible for ensuring that session two's pride parade goes forward and ensuring that the Equality Egg is given new tape on Love Tape Day.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position itself was originated at 15.2, however, the artifact with which the position is passed down was created during 14.2, when Elliot was thrown into a popsickle stick crafting activity and created a giant egg out of duct tape and popsickle sticks. The egg was just that--an egg--until, during the first dance of 14.2, while Elliot and his friends were holding up the egg and chanting, a kid with a history of homophobia and sexism began to squeeze the egg, partially crushing it. Once the egg was repaired, it became known as the Equality Egg.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position came about after Elliot, with the help of Hanna Hildebolt, Rosemary Wonell, Colin Sackett, and others, and with special thanks to R.A. Viv, were able to bring back CTY Pride. The idea was sparked first by Skylar Karzhevsky. CTY Pride occurs on Love Tape Day and features slightly modified Afterdance chants, both versions of which are listed in the Nomorenomicon. The egg is meant to be passed down quietly immediately following the parade. However, Jessica Kuleshov, the second egg parent, passed it down to Ky during Passionfruit.</p><br />
<br />
Egg Parents:<br />
* 15.2: Elliot Grant<br />
* 16.2 Jessica Kuleshov<br />
* 17.2 Ky Lynch<br />
* 18.2 Archer Goodwyn<br />
* 19.2 Felix Brener<br />
* 20.2 Charlotte Price<br />
<br />
===Fanhammer===<br />
<p>The Fanhammer is a large hammer made from cardboard boxes wrapped neatly in grey duct tape, with a band of glow-in-the-dark duct tape wrapped around the base of the handle. It also has a duct-tape wrist loop at the end of the handle, which requires frequent repair. It is quite sturdy and is a viable weapon for bopping people with. The holder of the Fanhammer is a position usually given to a two-more, passed down very unofficially at some point near the end of the session or at passionfruit. The hammer was created by the hall of Max Franklin during 12.2, and the hammer was given to him to hold the following year, bearing the name "Mjolnir". Since then it has been customary for the holder of the Fanhammer to re-dub it with a name of their own choice. The holder of the hammer should carry it around during the session and use it to affectionately whack other CTYers. </p><br />

<br />
===Anglerfish===<br />
<br />
The Anglerfish was a flamboyant sparkly cowboy hat, with two glowsticks attached to the brim. It derives its name from a certain deep sea Lophiiforme. At Lancaster session 2, the Anglerfish is a sign of individuality and self confidence, and is similar to first session’s Cloak. It is traditionally worn at every dance and quad time. That was until the end of 18.2 when the cowboy hat was stolen—currently, Clara Robertson, former Anglerfish wearer, is working on a new artifact. The Anglerfish is held for the wearer’s onemore and nomore years.<br />
<br />
Wearers:<br />
* 15.2: Ethan<br />
* 16.2-17.2: Russell Schwartz<br />
* 18.2-19.2: Clara Robertson<br />
* 20.2-21.2: Avery Lamprecht<br />
<br />
== Defunct Positions and Passed Items ==<br />
<br />
Some items or positions that have been passed down have not been revived or continued. Most of these positions are not likely to be brought up again. Here, they rest, until their records may be placed in a more proper location.<br />
<br />
===Satan (Session One)===<br />
<br />
Satan is still a part of the Session Two Pentinity, where it is now known as the Fiend. At Session One, the position of Satan died when Brenton Whiting failed to pass it down in 2012. It still informally exists, but only as an American Pie role any nomore/nevermore may sign up for.<br />
<br />
*01.1: Adam Roush<br />
*02.1: Gabe Slamovits<br />
*03.1: Jon Napolitano<br />
*04.1: Jeremy Berkowitz<br />
*05.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*06.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*07.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*08.1: Everett "Ev" Maus<br />
*09.1: Joe Lodin<br />
*10.1: James "Turtle" Buckland<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />
*12.1: Brenton Whiting<br />
<br />
===Panda===<br />
<br />
In 2013, Kayla (Dos) Ende passed her dearly beloved stuffed panda bear to Masha Zhdanova after Passionfruit. The holder of the Panda Bear (according to Masha) should be a low-key loving person. The Panda was passed for two years until Kayla expressed her desire to have it back, as she had not intended it to be anything official. The passing never occurred during Passionfruit but rather afterwards.<br />
<br />
*13.1: Kayla (Dos) Ende<br />
*14.1: Masha Zhdanova<br />
*15.1: Chris Ponsa Nazario<br />
<br />
===Chester Q. Carter===<br />
<br />
Chester Q. Carter, or CQC, was the nickname of Loren Sherman, whose nomore session was 11.2. Loren was jokingly known for his status as "pimp" among his friends. Venya Mayakovsky, double-sessioning in his final year of 2012, informally declared himself CQC of 12.1. He then began considering making it an actual position. Loren's girlfriend, Hannah (still at CTY), spoke with Loren over the phone, and he gave his consent to CQC becoming a position. Venya did not give a Passionfruit speech at session 1, so even the ceremony of passing the position down was incredibly informal, although in the grand scheme of things, it could really be thought of as almost a joke position, but a position nonetheless. The purpose of the position is, as said by Venya and his successor Peter, is to teach the importance of independence and staying true to yourself and your own personal happiness, although not necessarily in a selfish manner. (But everyone knows it's really about getting all of the biddies.) The passed down item is intended to be a top hat (Loren is known for wearing one), but the top hat has yet to be purchased by the current positionholder.<br />
<br />
CQC was apparently not passed<br />
<br />
CQCs:<br />
* 11.2: Loren Sherman<br />
* 12.1: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.1: Peter Suh<br />
<br />
===The Guide===<br />
<br />
After the end of session 1 2011, Sam Cawkwell had the idea of creating a guide to CTY for squirrels to help them integrate more easily into the student culture. The guide is co-written by many wizards, but always led by the person who holds the position of The Guide. The passed down item is the master copy of the Guide itself from the previous year. For example, Sam passed down the 2012 edition of the Guide to Hannah Barclay. Unfortunately, Hannah did not return in 13.1, and the Guide was quietly phased out. It was generally considered by some (I emphasize the ''some'') to be a useless addition to Lancaster's culture.<br />
<br />
*12.1: Sam Cawkwell<br />
*13.1: Hannah Barclay<br />
<br />
===The Pimp===<br />
<br />
The Pimp, or Master Pimp is a first session position. The duty of The Pimp is to use his/her insanely amazing sexiness to make other incredible CTYers feel loved, good about themselves, and unbearably sexy as well. The Pimp is often found in the center of pimp-lines and encourages other pimp-lines to form. S/he is a frequent giver of hugs and other public displays of affection. <br />
<br />
Monogamy is not unheard of in the polygamous lifestyle of The Pimp, although it usually occurs toward the end of the session. The Pimp must keep in mind however, that loving one person more does not mean they have to love the rest of CTY less. If the Pimp is fortunate enough to form a relationship with an understanding and not particularly territorial CTYer, then he/she need not cease whoring off of everyone else. The Pimp should be a rather out-going CTYer who is loving, caring, and sexy beyond reason.<br />
<br />
The role of the Pimp is a far less pronounced roles than the roles of most other Lancastrian positions. The position, in fact, is not even passed down during CTY, but is given a less official transfer via direct communication between past and present Pimps.<br />
<br />
Pimps:<br />
* 07.1: Aaron Ladd<br />
* 08.1: [[User: PathologicalLiar|Kate Wymbs]] (Ev Maus may have also done some pimping during 08.1; however, it was not official)<br />
<br />
===Bitch Bra===<br />
<br />
This article of clothing is a strapless, hot pink bra with seven claps. During Session 2 of 2007, this bra was forfeited/passed on to [[user:maggieanne|Maggie Farrell]], as a twomore, by Nixxi Chen. The receiver of this bra is someone who is known as a 'bitch' because she speaks her mind. She also knows her way around inducing pain throughout a male's genitalia (just kidding...or am I?). <br />
<br />
For purposes of making it CTYA, the significance behind this bra, asides from being the ruling Queen Bitch, is that the wearer knows how to make fun of themselves and not take things too seriously. However when her friends need her she's always the shoulder to cry on.<br />
<br />
* 2007: Nixxi Chen<br />
* 2008-2009: Maggie Farrell<br />
<br />
===Jay and Silent Bob===<br />
<br />
Jay and Silent Bob is a new tradition that may or may not be revived as seen fit. It all started on Halloween at CTY Lancaster Session 2 2006 when Cristina D'Ancona dressed up as Jay from the movies "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Dogma" and others. Immediately, her friend Peter Treadway caught the reference and changed his costume (originally it had been "emo") by borrowing a bathrobe and a hat and drawing a beard on his face with sharpie to represent Jay's infamous partner, Silent Bob. Jay and Silent Bob proceeded to terrorize the campus with their antics, their place in CTY history carved in stone.<br />
<br />
The Jay and Silent Bob tradition is unique in that it CANNOT be passed on to the next generation of CTYers by the current Jay and Silent Bob. Anyone who wishes to continue the tradition only needs to don the costume, and play the part.<br />
<br />
===Risk Board===<br />
<br />
At Passionfruit of LAN 06.2, Greg Lawrence passed his Risk board which he'd used in previous years down to Vishal Mehta. The Board had been modified in Sharpie, changing the names of the oceans to various geographic locations at Franklin and Marshall, and the names of the continents to types of [[courses]] and groups of wizards. The idea behind it was that each bearer of the Board would cross out a territory's name and rename it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Vishal chose not to return to CTY in 2007. Instead, he chose to go to some medical study in California. As such, the Board is currently discontinued, and extremely unlikely to come back again.<br />
<br />
===Hammertime===<br />
<br />
The Hammertime has several definitions:<br />
<br />
# The official time zone of CTY Lancaster Session 2, especially during [[Silent Football]], but still applicable elsewhere.<br />
# The time on the watch of [[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]], which may or may not correspond with CTY time.<br />
# The time on the watch of the person wearing the Hammertime mood ring.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Jeff has lost the mood ring, which he had planned on passing down to the next Keeper of the Hammertime.<br />
<br />
Relatedly, during opening ceremonies at LAN.09.2, Matt the DRL declared, "CTY time is 7:21 p.m." supposedly neglecting to include the word "currently." This led many to respond throughout the session to the question, "What time is it?" with "7:21 p.m." along with the occasional "Hammertime," and also [un]officially established the time (in addition to the time zone) of Lancaster Session 2 as 7:21 p.m., Hammertime.<br />
<br />
====Origin of the Hammertime====<br />
<br />
Hammertime was created during a game of Silent Football during LAN.05.2, some time after music was declared existant within the universe.<br />
<br />
During this game, MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" was being played from a Kunkel balcony. The universe was dancing happily. Suddenly, <b>horror of unspeakable horrors</b>, a player wanted to know what time it was! Said player raised said player's hand and made said player's query, stating, "Mr. Dictator, what is the current time?" to which Mr. Dictator <br />
(Shea Levy) replied, "It is the Hammertime." To which the ever-curious player replied, "What is the current hammertime?" A certain player, [[User:Jeff Sachs|Dr. Strangelove or: Etymologies SUCKS]], was then called on and said, "Mr. Dictator, the current Hammertime is X:YZ." The term Hammertime was used repeatedly to ask this question, and the same player always had the answer. That player then made a request, saying, "Mr. Dictator I motion that the official time zone of the Universe be the Hammertime!" This motion was granted and has been enstated ever since.<br />

<div>[[Lancaster]] has the most [[student positions]] of any site, due to being one of the most tradition heavy. This is not a complete list of all positions, only those not accorded their own page. For a list of all Lancaster positions, see [[Student position#Lancaster|Lancaster Positions]].<br />
<br />
If a position appears to be missing, it may have been moved to the [[Memories:LAN|Lancaster Memories]] page. Once a position has lasted for over five years- long enough that everyone originally around during its creation has aged out- it may be considered for a move to this page. This pruning is due to the [[shameless egotism]] that has sprung up over the last decade regarding positions.<br />

<br />
==Both Sessions==<br />
<br />
===Quotebook===<br />
<br />
Quotebook spans both sessions. The duties of the person who holds the quotebook are to record funny, inspirational, or just plain weird things that are said at LAN in his or her quotebook, and then publish them for all to see on the internet after CTY. When a holder of the quotebook nomores or nevermores out, their quotebook will be passed down to someone who is coming back the next year and is willing to carry the duties out.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook was passed down at Passionfruit for the first time at 13.2 but may be passed through whatever method is most convenient to the outgoing quotekeeper.<br />
<br />
It began in 08.1, when two year tragedy [[User:Kokomo|Zoe M.]] noticed the multitude of quotable sayings being said wherever she went in Lancaster. Due to the lack of computers and her bad memory, she forgot most of them. Therefore, a quotebook made of notebook paper was created and decorated. It filled up within three days, as well as started to fall apart. A new, sturdy, 80 page mini notebook was bought and decorated. 250 quotes were collected in 08.1, and about 550 were collected the next year. At the end of the session, quotebooks were passed to twomore Marnie P. of second session and onemore Vira Shao of first session. Due to some necessary position switching, is unknown if second session will continue to have a book.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook has proven tricky to keep continuous between sessions, as in 11.1 when there was no Quotebook until the second week when it was realized that there was no Quotekeeping being done. Even if there is no strictly passed-down Quotebook, it is true that wherever there are CTYers, funny things being said, and notebooks for sale, there will be a quotebook<br />
<br />
All quotebooks should in theory be transcribed on the userpages of the quotekeepers.<br />
<br />
After 14.2, [[User:dihalikias|Diana Halikias]] and Sam Mauro (the 15.2 quotebook keeper) created a tumblr for Lancaster Session 2's quotes. It can be found at http://lancasterquotebook.tumblr.com/<br />
<br />
Daniel Rock kept quotes on a sheet of looseleaf paper. His successor purchased a lovely leatherbound unlined notebook to keep quotes in. Many recent Quotebook keepers take submissions before Last Supper (when quotes are read). A good place to hear funny quips and quotations is Acting Improv, where many Keepers go for inspiration. <br />
<br />
After 19.1, [[User:gracechen|Grace Chen]] and [[User:Deej|Deirdre Cunniffe]] (the 19.1 and 20.1 quotebook keepers) created a [[Quotebook|page to upload the quotes of the quotebook]] for all to enjoy.<br />

==Session 1==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.1 Position Holders]]''<br />
===Jack Flash===<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is a First Session position. Their main duty is the organization and management of the stringers and breakdancers during songs such as James Brown is Dead, Sandstorm, etc. Jack Flash will always be a nomore glowsticker, preforming in the circle along with other glowstickers and breakdancers. Jack Flash is also charged with promoting and teaching [[glowsticking]] among the students. Lastly, Jack Flash will play the role of Jack Flash in the students' circle during [[American Pie]].<br />
<br />
The first Jack Flash was Wes McClung, who saw the need for the position and created it in 08.1, his nomore year. The position was passed down to J. T. Booth ("Mongoose") in the form of the orange glowstick used for American Pie during 2nd saturday dance in 08.1. The one used during the last dance exploded in a shower of pure CTY awesomeness.<br />
<br />
In 11.1, a very awesome and PLUR-tastic raver had to leave CTY mid-session and bequeathed upon then-Jack Flash Ajay Nadig a pair of chain raving nun-chuks. Made of precisely <s>44</s> 42 chain links each (the perfect length!), Ajay chose to pass these down as the new Jack Flash relic to Logan C. One of these was unfortunately lost during 14.1 when they were stolen to distract the Jack Flash from holding his Blammo spoon. The popular belief is that it was picked up by a sports camp participant. Spencer McClung made a much longer and heavier chain with 42 links as a substitute. Ariel Uy replaced the chain with a nearly identical one to the original.<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is apparently associated with hats. Glib Dolotov wore a red fedora in 13.1, which he popped off his head whenever he sat on a candlestick at dances. This was passed, and each Jack Flash has passed a different hat. Spencer passed his bear hat, Sara Nill passed a Cookie Monster baseball cap, Ariel passed a JHU bluejays cap, and Matt passed a Santa hat.<br />

<br />
===Lanyard Stack===<br />
<br />
The lanyard stack is a collection of many lanyards and name cards accumulated through the years since 2009. It is meant to represent collecting the memories of CTY over the years. According to Rudy Garcia, it was never actually meant to be passed down at Passionfruit but only as a low-key artifact, although passing at Passionfruit started in 14.1, when Thomas passed it to Steven along with a half gallon of bad [[Turkey Hill]] lemonade. The keeper is expected to add their lanyard from the previous year to the stack. It is rather cumbersome to wear, although most keepers wear it around their necks and with the lanyards braided in an effort to ease the burden. They are then unbraided for Passionfruit. Thomas would loop it around his shoulder. <br />
<br />
Holders of the Lanyards:<br />

*19.1: Jessica Fox<br />
*20.1: [[User:TeleportingPanda| Sam Naiman]]<br />
<br />
===Coconuts===<br />
<br />
Coconuts is a onemore position and typically goes to an individual with knowledge of traditions. Coconuts receives a pair of empty coconut shells covered in duct tape and leads the students for the [[Monk Walk]] during dinner on the last Wednesday. During Passionfruit, the Coconuts of the session usually comes up momentarily in order to pass on their item. The coconuts used to be a relic belonging to the Jester, along with the corresponding responsibilities, but became a separate position in 2010 when the current jester handed them (and the responsibility) to onemore Deena Alexander.<br />
*10.1: Deena Alexander<br />
*11.1: Sam Sagan<br />
*12.1: Benjamin Zweig<br />

*19.1: Ava Lazar<br />
*20.1: Henry Goldschmidt<br />
<br />
===Secretkeeper===<br />
<br />
The Secretkeeper is Lancaster's only secret position. The identity of a Secretkeeper may only be revealed after that position holder's term has expired, and purely at their discretion, so naturally it is the least-known Lancaster position. Should the identity of a keeper be discovered prematurely, the discoverer shall become the new position holder immediately. Although the main duty of a Secretkeeper is to keep their identity classified, they are also expected to aid taxing positions such as the Blammo Gods or Jack Flash whenever possible. The position was created in 10.1 by Jessica Wyatt and was passed down to Lucy He for 11.1.<br /><br />
<br />
During 15.1, the Secretkeeper notebook was mysteriously found in the Alcove by RA Wes and later given to Asher Orner, apparently lost during the Monk Walk. Asher Orner presented the notebook at Passionfruit, but no one claimed it. Since the position holder has not revealed their identity for 2 years running, as is their prerogative, some assumed it to be dead. Asher Orner threw the book into the crowd. A Ctyanonymous post was made soon after by the 16.1 secret keeper, confirming that the position is still alive, and that they have a way to get the notebook back. However, no evidence of the position being alive has been seen since, which has been at least 3 years, it is still considered dead.<br />

===Cloak===<br />
<br />
The Cloak is a majestic article of black velvet. It is silver on the inside. A student who went by Vlad but whose real name was Brian wore this cloak every day without exception throughout 13.1. The cloak took on a distinct CTY smell. Vlad explained at Passionfruit that the cloak was given to him by his squirrel year roommate. He passed the cloak/cape to a onemore. The Cloak Bearer is not required to wear the cloak; they are simply required to own it. The third owner of the cloak, John Isaac Boland, said that the bearer should simply pick a thing to be and be it as much and as hard as possible.<br />
<br />
Cloak Bearers:<br />
*10.1: Evan Connors<br />
*11-13.1: Brian "Igor" DeRose<br />

*20.1: Alex Rhoman<br />
<br />
===The Friend===<br />
<br />
The Friend is a position which was created by Brenton Whiting at Passionfruit 12.1 and given to then one-more, Anna Mehrabyan. It should be passed down from a nomore to a onemore. The idea of The Friend, as said by Brenton, is simply to be a friend. Someone to talk to or rely on. The Friend represents the friendships that form and kinship that exists between the wizards at CTY. This person is meant to personify these things and to be willing to be anyone's friend when they need one. The passed down item is a pair of rainbow suspenders, because like the Friend, they are whimsical and when the time comes will hold your pants up.<br />
The suspenders were stolen in 17.1, but Hudson got a new set for 18.1 which happened to come with a rainbow bow tie, so he will pass that down as well.<br />
<br />
Friends:<br />
* 12.1: Brenton Whiting (created position at Passionfruit)<br />
* 13.1: Hannah Mitlak (filled in for the absent [[User: Anulik96|Anna Mehrabyan]])<br />

* 20.1: Daniella Tsang<br />
<br />
===Shots===<br />
<br />
During a game of Truth or Dare among COGN-A 13.1 students, [[User: cdonegan778|Ciara Donegan]] dared [[User:Andrewmoore|Andrew Moore]] and a few other classmates to drink bubble mix, not expecting anyone to actually do it. However, they did, and they repeated the stupidity every year following during the Thanksgiving Feast, a tradition started by [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]] in 14.1. In 15.1, Andrew bought shot glasses from the bookstore, so at the Thanksgiving Feast, he and other CTYers took shots of bubble mix. At Passionfruit, the shotglasses were used to take shots of SKL. Andrew, at the suggestion of the Trinity, then passed them to onemore [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]], officializing the item.<br />
<br />
The shot glass holders have a reputation for being slightly off their rockers.<br />
<br />
During 15.2, the stunt was repeated (carrying the tradition to session 2) along with the Thanksgiving feast by Andrew and other double-sessioners. Unexpectedly, large amounts of people decided to try a shot and the feast got rather out of hand. This caught the negative attention of DRL Will. At Passionfruit 15.2, the RAs attempted to suppress the passing of the position by preventing Andrew from speaking, but the item was passed down to Apurva afterwards anyway to Apurva Memani. However, the tradition did not continue at 16.2. The holder of the shot glasses, in addition to taking shots, organizes the Thanksgiving feast.<br />
<br />
At 16.1, Victoria led the CTYers in taking shots of a mixture of watermelon, watermelon juice, SKL, and cream soda. When a student suggested that the supreme watermelon overlord who sacrifices Carol should be a position, it was decided that the annual sacrifice of Carol the Watermelon should be forever continued. Rather than create a new position, the two current ringleaders of Carol and Thanksgiving decided to merge their duties and add the killing of Carol to the responsibilities of Shots in the future.<br />
<br />
After the fiasco at 15.2, admin declared that the ingestion of bubble mix was strictly forbidden. Shprinkles was reminded of this at the start of 16.1 with a stern warning. In light of the situation, the Thanksgiving Feast-goers took shots of lemon juice (as it was deemed to be similarly awful), SKL, and different combinations of the two. Admin was fine with this. <br />
<br />
At 18.1, [[User:SuperCrazyMonkey|Justin Su]] was unable to buy lemon juice, and instead brought a bottle of white vinegar to Thanksgiving. Everyone present took shots (some students watered theirs down), and the bottle was emptied. No students were harmed during this time.<br />
<br />
At 19.1, [[User:Xamuel| Sam Schulman]] brought a great amount of lemon juice to the session to prevent make sure vinegar shots never happened again. However, much to the unawareness of [[User:SophiaZR| Sophia Ribeiro]], [[User:AsianDonut| Matthew Maung]] drank all the lemon juice on his own before Thanksgiving. Therefore, the shots were done with Schnaderade, which had been made by Sophia during dinner and kept cool over an AC Unit until quad time. Despite it not tasting as awful as expected, this is not recommended. Please bring lemon juice and make sure nobody drinks it. Please.<br />

==Session 2==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.2 Position Holders]]''<br />
===King James===<br />
<br />
The position of King/Queen James is very similar to the position of Jack Flash. King James is a glowsticking position, that is bestowed on a glowsticker who embodies P.L.U.R., demonstrates their passion for glowsticking in their performance, and shares the artistry of glowsticking with the greater community whether through teaching or otherwise. They are more of a rallying point and encouraging, positive force in the glowsticking community as well as a leader. Even so, King James should ensure that the rave circle is always big enough to give everyone enough space to rave and ensure that two rave songs are played at each dance. This position was created in 2010 session 2 by [[User:Sqfnyc|Sam Fomon]]. During "[[James Brown is Dead]]" at the last dance of 10.2, instead of passing on her [[User:Sqfnyc#The James Brown Lives Jacket|James Brown Lives jacket]], she coronated Ryan Cebulko as King James I using a luminous crown she had fashioned from a plastic gold crown and EL-wire. This is to be the relic for King James, and each wearer of the crown should ideally add something shiny, flashy, and/or glow-y to the crown to make it even more seizure-inducing in the rave circle. King/Queen James is not necessarily given to a onemore, yet the recipient is encouraged to wear the crown for only one year and then pass it on in ceremony at the final "James Brown is Dead" of session. Jackie Liu made the crown anew, styled after the first, to guarantee its longevity and wearability, no matter whose cranium it cradles.<br />

* 19.2: [[User:C.skinnergrant|Ceci Skinner Grant]] and [[user:curiositykilledthekat|Kat Liang]] (unable to return), Co-King James VIII<br />
<br />
===Squirrel of the Year===<br />
<br />
''Example'' is a CD by a band called For Squirrels. It was discovered in the fall of 2006 by [[User: Mint Sharpie|Ariel Hyre]], who simply could not leave it where she found it. She brought it back to Lancaster in 07.2, her nomore year, with the intent of passing it on to a worthy squirrel who had the intention of returning. The disc is to be bestowed on a squirrel at Passionfruit of Second Session at Lancaster, one who has approached CTY with great energy and enthusiasm and who plans to return the following year. For this reason, this position is frequently referred to as Squirrel of the Year. Muskaan Garg, however, lost the CD. She redeemed herself by replacing the CD with a stuffed edamame toy as a play on words of the acronym for Squirrel of the Year, SOY. <br />

===Duct Tape Dress Wearer===<br />
<br />
The Duct Tape Dress was created by [[User:Yulia|Yulia Korovikov]] in Second Session of 2007. The dress is very shiny and of quite good quality, though it requires frequent repair. Yulia decided to pass down the dress at Passionfruit to Ellie Kladky, whom she, along with many others, felt deserved a special item and title for her nomore year. Ellie returned in 08.2 and treated the dress as a friendly gift rather than a weighty tradition, and so gave it to Lena Beckenstein after the Passionfruit was over to avoid the trend of making empty traditions. However, the dress managed to survive and continues to be passed down. In 09.2, when Dennis Cowan received the dress, there were some issues with getting it to fit. Because of this, the dress was remade with velcro down one side so as to be easier to put on and take off. In 14.2, when October Henley wore the dress, it was discovered that the velcro had been inside out for years, and had accumulated all of its adornments on the wrong side. It was refurbished right-side out, every major fixture transplanted to the new front. As of 15.2, the dress now sports pockets in an attempt both to make the dress easier to wear with regards to the joys of being able to place things in them (up to and including an entire roll of duct tape!), as well as to hopefully prevent another inside-out incident. <br />
The Duct Tape Dress has been associated with enthusiasm, whether it is for CTY culture, sketchiness, or just doing as the wearer pleases, no matter how off the beaten path it is, as well as the encouragement of such behavior in others. Since 13.2, it has begun to collect love tape every love tape day.<br />

===Kiwi Backpack===<br />
<br />
The Kiwi Backpack was first given as a kindergarten gift from a boy known by his nick name "Kiwi" to his best friend, Hang-Hang, who was nicknamed "Strawberry". Hang-Hang carried around the backpack for ten years and was rarely seen without it; it was almost an extra limb, both at home and when he came to CTY. At CTY, he met Dan Russotto, and at Passionfruit of session two, 2010, Hang-Hang passed it down to Dan, his willingness to part with the navy backpack with "KIWI" embroidered on the front the ultimate symbol friendship. The backpack continues to symbolize friendship imparted; in the words of Louie Brown, "Basically, [the backpack symbolizes] someone who is a friend, someone who will always have your back, who will always be there to talk with you when you're down, when you need a shoulder or a voice in your life." <br />
<br />

<br />
===Rascal===<br />
<br />
The Rascal, formerly known as the Pedobear, is a session two position started with Loren Sherman who first passed down a teddy bear and position Pedobear to Venya Mayakovsky. However the Bear was lost. In 2012, a bear hat was given to Nick Richardson by Gia Rigoli. Nick decided to pass down the bear hat in place of the actual bear. Their job is to promote sketchiness and help the Fiend. Moreover, the Rascal is an advocate of experimentation for themselves and others, and is someone to cuddle with or be sketchy with, as long as you're comfortable. <br />
Note: the Rascal and Chester Q. Carter are positions created in the same year, by the same person, carried out the next year by the same person, but are distinct entities and occur over different sessions.<br />
<br />
Rascals:<br />
* 12.2: Venya Mayakovsky<br />

===Egg Parent===<br />
<br />
<p>The Egg Parent was originated at 15.2 by [[User:halloweenpants|Elliot Grant]]. The Egg Parent is the camper responsible for ensuring that session two's pride parade goes forward and ensuring that the Equality Egg is given new tape on Love Tape Day.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position itself was originated at 15.2, however, the artifact with which the position is passed down was created during 14.2, when Elliot was thrown into a popsickle stick crafting activity and created a giant egg out of duct tape and popsickle sticks. The egg was just that--an egg--until, during the first dance of 14.2, while Elliot and his friends were holding up the egg and chanting, a kid with a history of homophobia and sexism began to squeeze the egg, partially crushing it. Once the egg was repaired, it became known as the Equality Egg.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position came about after Elliot, with the help of Hanna Hildebolt, Rosemary Wonell, Colin Sackett, and others, and with special thanks to R.A. Viv, were able to bring back CTY Pride. The idea was sparked first by Skylar Karzhevsky. CTY Pride occurs on Love Tape Day and features slightly modified Afterdance chants, both versions of which are listed in the Nomorenomicon. The egg is meant to be passed down quietly immediately following the parade. However, Jessica Kuleshov, the second egg parent, passed it down to Ky during Passionfruit.</p><br />
<br />
Egg Parents:<br />
* 15.2: Elliot Grant<br />
* 16.2 Jessica Kuleshov<br />
* 17.2 Ky Lynch<br />
* 18.2 Archer Goodwyn<br />
* 19.2 Felix Brener<br />
* 20.2 Charlotte Price<br />
<br />
===Fanhammer===<br />
<p>The Fanhammer is a large hammer made from cardboard boxes wrapped neatly in grey duct tape, with a band of glow-in-the-dark duct tape wrapped around the base of the handle. It also has a duct-tape wrist loop at the end of the handle, which requires frequent repair. It is quite sturdy and is a viable weapon for bopping people with. The holder of the Fanhammer is a position usually given to a two-more, passed down very unofficially at some point near the end of the session or at passionfruit. The hammer was created by the hall of Max Franklin during 12.2, and the hammer was given to him to hold the following year, bearing the name "Mjolnir". Since then it has been customary for the holder of the Fanhammer to re-dub it with a name of their own choice. The holder of the hammer should carry it around during the session and use it to affectionately whack other CTYers. </p><br />

===Anglerfish===<br />
<br />
The Anglerfish was a flamboyant sparkly cowboy hat, with two glowsticks attached to the brim. It derives its name from a certain deep sea Lophiiforme. At Lancaster session 2, the Anglerfish is a sign of individuality and self confidence. It is traditionally worn at every dance and quad time. That was until the end of 18.2 when the cowboy hat was stolen—currently, Clara Robertson, former Anglerfish wearer, is working on a new artifact. The Anglerfish is held for the wearer’s onemore and nomore years.<br />

== Defunct Positions and Passed Items ==<br />
<br />
Some items or positions that have been passed down have not been revived or continued. Most of these positions are not likely to be brought up again. Here, they rest, until their records may be placed in a more proper location.<br />
<br />
===Satan (Session One)===<br />
<br />
Satan is still a part of the Session Two Pentinity, where it is now known as the Fiend. At Session One, the position of Satan died when Brenton Whiting failed to pass it down in 2012. It still informally exists, but only as an American Pie role any nomore/nevermore may sign up for.<br />
<br />
*01.1: Adam Roush<br />
*02.1: Gabe Slamovits<br />
*03.1: Jon Napolitano<br />
*04.1: Jeremy Berkowitz<br />
*05.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*06.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*07.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*08.1: Everett "Ev" Maus<br />
*09.1: Joe Lodin<br />
*10.1: James "Turtle" Buckland<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />
*12.1: Brenton Whiting<br />
<br />
===Panda===<br />
<br />
In 2013, Kayla (Dos) Ende passed her dearly beloved stuffed panda bear to Masha Zhdanova after Passionfruit. The holder of the Panda Bear (according to Masha) should be a low-key loving person. The Panda was passed for two years until Kayla expressed her desire to have it back, as she had not intended it to be anything official. The passing never occurred during Passionfruit but rather afterwards.<br />
<br />
*13.1: Kayla (Dos) Ende<br />
*14.1: Masha Zhdanova<br />
*15.1: Chris Ponsa Nazario<br />
<br />
===Chester Q. Carter===<br />
<br />
Chester Q. Carter, or CQC, was the nickname of Loren Sherman, whose nomore session was 11.2. Loren was jokingly known for his status as "pimp" among his friends. Venya Mayakovsky, double-sessioning in his final year of 2012, informally declared himself CQC of 12.1. He then began considering making it an actual position. Loren's girlfriend, Hannah (still at CTY), spoke with Loren over the phone, and he gave his consent to CQC becoming a position. Venya did not give a Passionfruit speech at session 1, so even the ceremony of passing the position down was incredibly informal, although in the grand scheme of things, it could really be thought of as almost a joke position, but a position nonetheless. The purpose of the position is, as said by Venya and his successor Peter, is to teach the importance of independence and staying true to yourself and your own personal happiness, although not necessarily in a selfish manner. (But everyone knows it's really about getting all of the biddies.) The passed down item is intended to be a top hat (Loren is known for wearing one), but the top hat has yet to be purchased by the current positionholder.<br />
<br />
CQC was apparently not passed<br />
<br />
CQCs:<br />
* 11.2: Loren Sherman<br />
* 12.1: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.1: Peter Suh<br />
<br />
===The Guide===<br />
<br />
After the end of session 1 2011, Sam Cawkwell had the idea of creating a guide to CTY for squirrels to help them integrate more easily into the student culture. The guide is co-written by many wizards, but always led by the person who holds the position of The Guide. The passed down item is the master copy of the Guide itself from the previous year. For example, Sam passed down the 2012 edition of the Guide to Hannah Barclay. Unfortunately, Hannah did not return in 13.1, and the Guide was quietly phased out. It was generally considered by some (I emphasize the ''some'') to be a useless addition to Lancaster's culture.<br />
<br />
*12.1: Sam Cawkwell<br />
*13.1: Hannah Barclay<br />
<br />
===The Pimp===<br />
<br />
The Pimp, or Master Pimp is a first session position. The duty of The Pimp is to use his/her insanely amazing sexiness to make other incredible CTYers feel loved, good about themselves, and unbearably sexy as well. The Pimp is often found in the center of pimp-lines and encourages other pimp-lines to form. S/he is a frequent giver of hugs and other public displays of affection. <br />
<br />
Monogamy is not unheard of in the polygamous lifestyle of The Pimp, although it usually occurs toward the end of the session. The Pimp must keep in mind however, that loving one person more does not mean they have to love the rest of CTY less. If the Pimp is fortunate enough to form a relationship with an understanding and not particularly territorial CTYer, then he/she need not cease whoring off of everyone else. The Pimp should be a rather out-going CTYer who is loving, caring, and sexy beyond reason.<br />
<br />
The role of the Pimp is a far less pronounced roles than the roles of most other Lancastrian positions. The position, in fact, is not even passed down during CTY, but is given a less official transfer via direct communication between past and present Pimps.<br />
<br />
Pimps:<br />
* 07.1: Aaron Ladd<br />
* 08.1: [[User: PathologicalLiar|Kate Wymbs]] (Ev Maus may have also done some pimping during 08.1; however, it was not official)<br />
<br />
===Bitch Bra===<br />
<br />
This article of clothing is a strapless, hot pink bra with seven claps. During Session 2 of 2007, this bra was forfeited/passed on to [[user:maggieanne|Maggie Farrell]], as a twomore, by Nixxi Chen. The receiver of this bra is someone who is known as a 'bitch' because she speaks her mind. She also knows her way around inducing pain throughout a male's genitalia (just kidding...or am I?). <br />
<br />
For purposes of making it CTYA, the significance behind this bra, asides from being the ruling Queen Bitch, is that the wearer knows how to make fun of themselves and not take things too seriously. However when her friends need her she's always the shoulder to cry on.<br />
<br />
* 2007: Nixxi Chen<br />
* 2008-2009: Maggie Farrell<br />
<br />
===Jay and Silent Bob===<br />
<br />
Jay and Silent Bob is a new tradition that may or may not be revived as seen fit. It all started on Halloween at CTY Lancaster Session 2 2006 when Cristina D'Ancona dressed up as Jay from the movies "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Dogma" and others. Immediately, her friend Peter Treadway caught the reference and changed his costume (originally it had been "emo") by borrowing a bathrobe and a hat and drawing a beard on his face with sharpie to represent Jay's infamous partner, Silent Bob. Jay and Silent Bob proceeded to terrorize the campus with their antics, their place in CTY history carved in stone.<br />
<br />
The Jay and Silent Bob tradition is unique in that it CANNOT be passed on to the next generation of CTYers by the current Jay and Silent Bob. Anyone who wishes to continue the tradition only needs to don the costume, and play the part.<br />
<br />
===Risk Board===<br />
<br />
At Passionfruit of LAN 06.2, Greg Lawrence passed his Risk board which he'd used in previous years down to Vishal Mehta. The Board had been modified in Sharpie, changing the names of the oceans to various geographic locations at Franklin and Marshall, and the names of the continents to types of [[courses]] and groups of wizards. The idea behind it was that each bearer of the Board would cross out a territory's name and rename it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Vishal chose not to return to CTY in 2007. Instead, he chose to go to some medical study in California. As such, the Board is currently discontinued, and extremely unlikely to come back again.<br />
<br />
===Hammertime===<br />
<br />
The Hammertime has several definitions:<br />
<br />
# The official time zone of CTY Lancaster Session 2, especially during [[Silent Football]], but still applicable elsewhere.<br />
# The time on the watch of [[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]], which may or may not correspond with CTY time.<br />
# The time on the watch of the person wearing the Hammertime mood ring.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Jeff has lost the mood ring, which he had planned on passing down to the next Keeper of the Hammertime.<br />
<br />
Relatedly, during opening ceremonies at LAN.09.2, Matt the DRL declared, "CTY time is 7:21 p.m." supposedly neglecting to include the word "currently." This led many to respond throughout the session to the question, "What time is it?" with "7:21 p.m." along with the occasional "Hammertime," and also [un]officially established the time (in addition to the time zone) of Lancaster Session 2 as 7:21 p.m., Hammertime.<br />
<br />
====Origin of the Hammertime====<br />
<br />
Hammertime was created during a game of Silent Football during LAN.05.2, some time after music was declared existant within the universe.<br />
<br />
During this game, MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" was being played from a Kunkel balcony. The universe was dancing happily. Suddenly, <b>horror of unspeakable horrors</b>, a player wanted to know what time it was! Said player raised said player's hand and made said player's query, stating, "Mr. Dictator, what is the current time?" to which Mr. Dictator <br />
(Shea Levy) replied, "It is the Hammertime." To which the ever-curious player replied, "What is the current hammertime?" A certain player, [[User:Jeff Sachs|Dr. Strangelove or: Etymologies SUCKS]], was then called on and said, "Mr. Dictator, the current Hammertime is X:YZ." The term Hammertime was used repeatedly to ask this question, and the same player always had the answer. That player then made a request, saying, "Mr. Dictator I motion that the official time zone of the Universe be the Hammertime!" This motion was granted and has been enstated ever since.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Lancaster]] has the most [[student positions]] of any site, due to being one of the most tradition heavy. This is not a complete list of all positions, only those not accorded their own page. For a list of all Lancaster positions, see [[Student position#Lancaster|Lancaster Positions]].<br />
<br />
If a position appears to be missing, it may have been moved to the [[Memories:LAN|Lancaster Memories]] page. Once a position has lasted for over five years- long enough that everyone originally around during its creation has aged out- it may be considered for a move to this page. This pruning is due to the [[shameless egotism]] that has sprung up over the last decade regarding positions.<br />

<br />
==Both Sessions==<br />
<br />
===Quotebook===<br />
<br />
Quotebook spans both sessions. The duties of the person who holds the quotebook are to record funny, inspirational, or just plain weird things that are said at LAN in his or her quotebook, and then publish them for all to see on the internet after CTY. When a holder of the quotebook nomores or nevermores out, their quotebook will be passed down to someone who is coming back the next year and is willing to carry the duties out.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook was passed down at Passionfruit for the first time at 13.2 but may be passed through whatever method is most convenient to the outgoing quotekeeper.<br />
<br />
It began in 08.1, when two year tragedy [[User:Kokomo|Zoe M.]] noticed the multitude of quotable sayings being said wherever she went in Lancaster. Due to the lack of computers and her bad memory, she forgot most of them. Therefore, a quotebook made of notebook paper was created and decorated. It filled up within three days, as well as started to fall apart. A new, sturdy, 80 page mini notebook was bought and decorated. 250 quotes were collected in 08.1, and about 550 were collected the next year. At the end of the session, quotebooks were passed to twomore Marnie P. of second session and onemore Vira Shao of first session. Due to some necessary position switching, is unknown if second session will continue to have a book.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook has proven tricky to keep continuous between sessions, as in 11.1 when there was no Quotebook until the second week when it was realized that there was no Quotekeeping being done. Even if there is no strictly passed-down Quotebook, it is true that wherever there are CTYers, funny things being said, and notebooks for sale, there will be a quotebook<br />
<br />
All quotebooks should in theory be transcribed on the userpages of the quotekeepers.<br />
<br />
After 14.2, [[User:dihalikias|Diana Halikias]] and Sam Mauro (the 15.2 quotebook keeper) created a tumblr for Lancaster Session 2's quotes. It can be found at http://lancasterquotebook.tumblr.com/<br />
<br />
Daniel Rock kept quotes on a sheet of looseleaf paper. His successor purchased a lovely leatherbound unlined notebook to keep quotes in. Many recent Quotebook keepers take submissions before Last Supper (when quotes are read). A good place to hear funny quips and quotations is Acting Improv, where many Keepers go for inspiration. <br />
<br />
After 19.1, [[User:gracechen|Grace Chen]] and [[User:Deej|Deirdre Cunniffe]] (the 19.1 and 20.1 quotebook keepers) created a [[Quotebook|page to upload the quotes of the quotebook]] for all to enjoy.<br />

==Session 1==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.1 Position Holders]]''<br />
===Jack Flash===<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is a First Session position. Their main duty is the organization and management of the stringers and breakdancers during songs such as James Brown is Dead, Sandstorm, etc. Jack Flash will always be a nomore glowsticker, preforming in the circle along with other glowstickers and breakdancers. Jack Flash is also charged with promoting and teaching [[glowsticking]] among the students. Lastly, Jack Flash will play the role of Jack Flash in the students' circle during [[American Pie]].<br />
<br />
The first Jack Flash was Wes McClung, who saw the need for the position and created it in 08.1, his nomore year. The position was passed down to J. T. Booth ("Mongoose") in the form of the orange glowstick used for American Pie during 2nd saturday dance in 08.1. The one used during the last dance exploded in a shower of pure CTY awesomeness.<br />
<br />
In 11.1, a very awesome and PLUR-tastic raver had to leave CTY mid-session and bequeathed upon then-Jack Flash Ajay Nadig a pair of chain raving nun-chuks. Made of precisely <s>44</s> 42 chain links each (the perfect length!), Ajay chose to pass these down as the new Jack Flash relic to Logan C. One of these was unfortunately lost during 14.1 when they were stolen to distract the Jack Flash from holding his Blammo spoon. The popular belief is that it was picked up by a sports camp participant. Spencer McClung made a much longer and heavier chain with 42 links as a substitute. Ariel Uy replaced the chain with a nearly identical one to the original.<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is apparently associated with hats. Glib Dolotov wore a red fedora in 13.1, which he popped off his head whenever he sat on a candlestick at dances. This was passed, and each Jack Flash has passed a different hat. Spencer passed his bear hat, Sara Nill passed a Cookie Monster baseball cap, Ariel passed a JHU bluejays cap, and Matt passed a Santa hat.<br />

<br />
===Lanyard Stack===<br />
<br />
The lanyard stack is a collection of many lanyards and name cards accumulated through the years since 2009. It is meant to represent collecting the memories of CTY over the years. According to Rudy Garcia, it was never actually meant to be passed down at Passionfruit but only as a low-key artifact, although passing at Passionfruit started in 14.1, when Thomas passed it to Steven along with a half gallon of bad [[Turkey Hill]] lemonade. The keeper is expected to add their lanyard from the previous year to the stack. It is rather cumbersome to wear, although most keepers wear it around their necks and with the lanyards braided in an effort to ease the burden. They are then unbraided for Passionfruit. Thomas would loop it around his shoulder. <br />
<br />
Holders of the Lanyards:<br />
<br />
*09.1: Elena Karras<br />
*10.1: Julian Weiss<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />
*12.1: Zoe Colbert<br />
*13.1: Zoe Colbert<br />
*14.1: Thomas Haines<br />
*15.1: Max Lee (when Steven Zhou did not return)<br />
*16.1: [[User:Leadtip|Matthew Li]]<br />
*17.1: Sarah Michelsen<br />
*18.1: [[User:ArugulaBannerji|Aradhana Bannerji]] (originally [[User:MSpencer|Maya Spencer]])<br />
*19.1: Jessica Fox<br />
*20.1: [[User:TeleportingPanda| Sam Naiman]]<br />
<br />
===Coconuts===<br />
<br />
Coconuts is a onemore position and typically goes to an individual with knowledge of traditions. Coconuts receives a pair of empty coconut shells covered in duct tape and leads the students for the [[Monk Walk]] during dinner on the last Wednesday. During Passionfruit, the Coconuts of the session usually comes up momentarily in order to pass on their item. The coconuts used to be a relic belonging to the Jester, along with the corresponding responsibilities, but became a separate position in 2010 when the current jester handed them (and the responsibility) to onemore Deena Alexander.<br />
*10.1: Deena Alexander<br />
*11.1: Sam Sagan<br />
*12.1: Benjamin Zweig<br />
*13.1: Lou Lindsay<br />
*14.1: [[User:Qatarina|Katrina Howard]]<br />
*15.1: Chloe Kekedjian<br />
*16.1: [[User:Jordantheg|Jordan Ginsburg]]<br />
*17.1: [[User: Brick|Oliver "Brick" Reinhardt]]<br />
*18.1: Jordyn Flaherty<br />
*19.1: Ava Lazar<br />
*20.1: Henry Goldschmidt<br />
<br />
===Secretkeeper===<br />
<br />
The Secretkeeper is Lancaster's only secret position. The identity of a Secretkeeper may only be revealed after that position holder's term has expired, and purely at their discretion, so naturally it is the least-known Lancaster position. Should the identity of a keeper be discovered prematurely, the discoverer shall become the new position holder immediately. Although the main duty of a Secretkeeper is to keep their identity classified, they are also expected to aid taxing positions such as the Blammo Gods or Jack Flash whenever possible. The position was created in 10.1 by Jessica Wyatt and was passed down to Lucy He for 11.1.<br /><br />
<br />
During 15.1, the Secretkeeper notebook was mysteriously found in the Alcove by RA Wes and later given to Asher Orner, apparently lost during the Monk Walk. Asher Orner presented the notebook at Passionfruit, but no one claimed it. Since the position holder has not revealed their identity for 2 years running, as is their prerogative, some assumed it to be dead. Asher Orner threw the book into the crowd. A Ctyanonymous post was made soon after by the 16.1 secret keeper, confirming that the position is still alive, and that they have a way to get the notebook back. However, no evidence of the position being alive has been seen since, which has been at least 3 years, it is still considered dead.<br />
<br />
Secretkeepers:<br />

<br />
===Cloak===<br />
<br />
The Cloak is a majestic article of black velvet. It is silver on the inside. A student who went by Vlad but whose real name was Brian wore this cloak every day without exception throughout 13.1. The cloak took on a distinct CTY smell. Vlad explained at Passionfruit that the cloak was given to him by his squirrel year roommate. He passed the cloak/cape to a onemore. The Cloak Bearer is not required to wear the cloak; they are simply required to own it. The third owner of the cloak, John Isaac Boland, said that the bearer should simply pick a thing to be and be it as much and as hard as possible.<br />
<br />
Cloak Bearers:<br />
*10.1: Evan Connors<br />
*11-13.1: Brian "Igor" DeRose<br />
*14.1: John Isaac Boland<br />
*15.1: Grace Drake<br />
*16.1: Sophia "Elphie" Hager<br />
*17.1: Alex Baxter<br />
*18.1: [[User:kerrycolf|Kerry Colford]] (when [[User:Mnemmxx|Misah Edwards]] could not return)<br />
*19.1: [[User:Julien Goodrich|Julien Goodrich]] (when [[User:Aleighyoung|Alex Young]] could not return)<br />
*20.1: Alex Rhoman<br />
<br />
===The Friend===<br />
<br />
The Friend is a position which was created by Brenton Whiting at Passionfruit 12.1 and given to then one-more, Anna Mehrabyan. It should be passed down from a nomore to a onemore. The idea of The Friend, as said by Brenton, is simply to be a friend. Someone to talk to or rely on. The Friend represents the friendships that form and kinship that exists between the wizards at CTY. This person is meant to personify these things and to be willing to be anyone's friend when they need one. The passed down item is a pair of rainbow suspenders, because like the Friend, they are whimsical and when the time comes will hold your pants up.<br />
The suspenders were stolen in 17.1, but Hudson got a new set for 18.1 which happened to come with a rainbow bow tie, so he will pass that down as well.<br />
<br />
Friends:<br />
* 12.1: Brenton Whiting (created position at Passionfruit)<br />
* 13.1: Hannah Mitlak (filled in for the absent [[User: Anulik96|Anna Mehrabyan]])<br />
* 14.1: Robby Feffer<br />
* 15.1: Dan Fu<br />
* 16.1: Brandon Lee<br />
* 17.1: Michael Corcione<br />
* 18.1: [[User:H double J|Hudson Jakubowicz]]<br />
* 19.1: [[User:Swolff24|Sylvie Wolff]]<br />
* 20.1: Daniella Tsang<br />
<br />
===Shots===<br />
<br />
During a game of Truth or Dare among COGN-A 13.1 students, [[User: cdonegan778|Ciara Donegan]] dared [[User:Andrewmoore|Andrew Moore]] and a few other classmates to drink bubble mix, not expecting anyone to actually do it. However, they did, and they repeated the stupidity every year following during the Thanksgiving Feast, a tradition started by [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]] in 14.1. In 15.1, Andrew bought shot glasses from the bookstore, so at the Thanksgiving Feast, he and other CTYers took shots of bubble mix. At Passionfruit, the shotglasses were used to take shots of SKL. Andrew, at the suggestion of the Trinity, then passed them to onemore [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]], officializing the item.<br />
<br />
The shot glass holders have a reputation for being slightly off their rockers.<br />
<br />
During 15.2, the stunt was repeated (carrying the tradition to session 2) along with the Thanksgiving feast by Andrew and other double-sessioners. Unexpectedly, large amounts of people decided to try a shot and the feast got rather out of hand. This caught the negative attention of DRL Will. At Passionfruit 15.2, the RAs attempted to suppress the passing of the position by preventing Andrew from speaking, but the item was passed down to Apurva afterwards anyway to Apurva Memani. However, the tradition did not continue at 16.2. The holder of the shot glasses, in addition to taking shots, organizes the Thanksgiving feast.<br />
<br />
At 16.1, Victoria led the CTYers in taking shots of a mixture of watermelon, watermelon juice, SKL, and cream soda. When a student suggested that the supreme watermelon overlord who sacrifices Carol should be a position, it was decided that the annual sacrifice of Carol the Watermelon should be forever continued. Rather than create a new position, the two current ringleaders of Carol and Thanksgiving decided to merge their duties and add the killing of Carol to the responsibilities of Shots in the future.<br />
<br />
After the fiasco at 15.2, admin declared that the ingestion of bubble mix was strictly forbidden. Shprinkles was reminded of this at the start of 16.1 with a stern warning. In light of the situation, the Thanksgiving Feast-goers took shots of lemon juice (as it was deemed to be similarly awful), SKL, and different combinations of the two. Admin was fine with this. <br />
<br />
At 18.1, [[User:SuperCrazyMonkey|Justin Su]] was unable to buy lemon juice, and instead brought a bottle of white vinegar to Thanksgiving. Everyone present took shots (some students watered theirs down), and the bottle was emptied. No students were harmed during this time.<br />
<br />
At 19.1, [[User:Xamuel| Sam Schulman]] brought a great amount of lemon juice to the session to prevent make sure vinegar shots never happened again. However, much to the unawareness of [[User:SophiaZR| Sophia Ribeiro]], [[User:AsianDonut| Matthew Maung]] drank all the lemon juice on his own before Thanksgiving. Therefore, the shots were done with Schnaderade, which had been made by Sophia during dinner and kept cool over an AC Unit until quad time. Despite it not tasting as awful as expected, this is not recommended. Please bring lemon juice and make sure nobody drinks it. Please.<br />

===King James===<br />
<br />
The position of King/Queen James is very similar to the position of Jack Flash. King James is a glowsticking position, that is bestowed on a glowsticker who embodies P.L.U.R., demonstrates their passion for glowsticking in their performance, and shares the artistry of glowsticking with the greater community whether through teaching or otherwise. They are more of a rallying point and encouraging, positive force in the glowsticking community as well as a leader. Even so, King James should ensure that the rave circle is always big enough to give everyone enough space to rave and ensure that two rave songs are played at each dance. This position was created in 2010 session 2 by [[User:Sqfnyc|Sam Fomon]]. During "[[James Brown is Dead]]" at the last dance of 10.2, instead of passing on her [[User:Sqfnyc#The James Brown Lives Jacket|James Brown Lives jacket]], she coronated Ryan Cebulko as King James I using a luminous crown she had fashioned from a plastic gold crown and EL-wire. This is to be the relic for King James, and each wearer of the crown should ideally add something shiny, flashy, and/or glow-y to the crown to make it even more seizure-inducing in the rave circle. King/Queen James is not necessarily given to a onemore, yet the recipient is encouraged to wear the crown for only one year and then pass it on in ceremony at the final "James Brown is Dead" of session. Jackie Liu made the crown anew, styled after the first, to guarantee its longevity and wearability, no matter whose cranium it cradles.<br />

===Squirrel of the Year===<br />
<br />
''Example'' is a CD by a band called For Squirrels. It was discovered in the fall of 2006 by [[User: Mint Sharpie|Ariel Hyre]], who simply could not leave it where she found it. She brought it back to Lancaster in 07.2, her nomore year, with the intent of passing it on to a worthy squirrel who had the intention of returning. The disc is to be bestowed on a squirrel at Passionfruit of Second Session at Lancaster, one who has approached CTY with great energy and enthusiasm and who plans to return the following year. For this reason, this position is frequently referred to as Squirrel of the Year. Muskaan Garg, however, lost the CD. She redeemed herself by replacing the CD with a stuffed edamame toy as a play on words of the acronym for Squirrel of the Year, SOY. <br />

===Duct Tape Dress Wearer===<br />
<br />
The Duct Tape Dress was created by [[User:Yulia|Yulia Korovikov]] in Second Session of 2007. The dress is very shiny and of quite good quality, though it requires frequent repair. Yulia decided to pass down the dress at Passionfruit to Ellie Kladky, whom she, along with many others, felt deserved a special item and title for her nomore year. Ellie returned in 08.2 and treated the dress as a friendly gift rather than a weighty tradition, and so gave it to Lena Beckenstein after the Passionfruit was over to avoid the trend of making empty traditions. However, the dress managed to survive and continues to be passed down. In 09.2, when Dennis Cowan received the dress, there were some issues with getting it to fit. Because of this, the dress was remade with velcro down one side so as to be easier to put on and take off. In 14.2, when October Henley wore the dress, it was discovered that the velcro had been inside out for years, and had accumulated all of its adornments on the wrong side. It was refurbished right-side out, every major fixture transplanted to the new front. As of 15.2, the dress now sports pockets in an attempt both to make the dress easier to wear with regards to the joys of being able to place things in them (up to and including an entire roll of duct tape!), as well as to hopefully prevent another inside-out incident. <br />
The Duct Tape Dress has been associated with enthusiasm, whether it is for CTY culture, sketchiness, or just doing as the wearer pleases, no matter how off the beaten path it is, as well as the encouragement of such behavior in others. Since 13.2, it has begun to collect love tape every love tape day.<br />

===Kiwi Backpack===<br />
<br />
The Kiwi Backpack was first given as a kindergarten gift from a boy known by his nick name "Kiwi" to his best friend, Hang-Hang, who was nicknamed "Strawberry". Hang-Hang carried around the backpack for ten years and was rarely seen without it; it was almost an extra limb, both at home and when he came to CTY. At CTY, he met Dan Russotto, and at Passionfruit of session two, 2010, Hang-Hang passed it down to Dan, his willingness to part with the navy backpack with "KIWI" embroidered on the front the ultimate symbol friendship. The backpack continues to symbolize friendship imparted; in the words of Louie Brown, "Basically, [the backpack symbolizes] someone who is a friend, someone who will always have your back, who will always be there to talk with you when you're down, when you need a shoulder or a voice in your life." <br />
<br />
Holders of the Kiwi Backpack:<br />
*10.2: Hang-Hang<br />
*11.2: [[User: AqueousFire|Dan Russotto]]<br />

*17.2: Alex Burnside<br />
*18.2: Claire Davis<br />
*19.2: Alexandra Mendelsohn<br />
<br />
===Rascal===<br />
<br />
The Rascal, formerly known as the Pedobear, is a session two position started with Loren Sherman who first passed down a teddy bear and position Pedobear to Venya Mayakovsky. However the Bear was lost. In 2012, a bear hat was given to Nick Richardson by Gia Rigoli. Nick decided to pass down the bear hat in place of the actual bear. Their job is to promote sketchiness and help the Fiend. Moreover, the Rascal is an advocate of experimentation for themselves and others, and is someone to cuddle with or be sketchy with, as long as you're comfortable. <br />
Note: the Rascal and Chester Q. Carter are positions created in the same year, by the same person, carried out the next year by the same person, but are distinct entities and occur over different sessions.<br />
<br />
Rascals:<br />
* 12.2: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.2: Nick Richardson<br />
* 14.2: Andrea Tsao<br />
* 15.2: Mona Lee<br />
* 16.2: Claire Medina<br />
* 17.2: Gloria Herman<br />
* 18.2: Rene Itah<br />
* 19.2: Maira Carloni<br />
<br />
===Egg Parent===<br />
<br />
<p>The Egg Parent was originated at 15.2 by [[User:halloweenpants|Elliot Grant]]. The Egg Parent is the camper responsible for ensuring that session two's pride parade goes forward and ensuring that the Equality Egg is given new tape on Love Tape Day.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position itself was originated at 15.2, however, the artifact with which the position is passed down was created during 14.2, when Elliot was thrown into a popsickle stick crafting activity and created a giant egg out of duct tape and popsickle sticks. The egg was just that--an egg--until, during the first dance of 14.2, while Elliot and his friends were holding up the egg and chanting, a kid with a history of homophobia and sexism began to squeeze the egg, partially crushing it. Once the egg was repaired, it became known as the Equality Egg.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position came about after Elliot, with the help of Hanna Hildebolt, Rosemary Wonell, Colin Sackett, and others, and with special thanks to R.A. Viv, were able to bring back CTY Pride. The idea was sparked first by Skylar Karzhevsky. CTY Pride occurs on Love Tape Day and features slightly modified Afterdance chants, both versions of which are listed in the Nomorenomicon. The egg is meant to be passed down quietly immediately following the parade. However, Jessica Kuleshov, the second egg parent, passed it down to Ky during Passionfruit.</p><br />
<br />
Egg Parents:<br />
* 15.2: Elliot Grant<br />
* 16.2 Jessica Kuleshov<br />
* 17.2 Ky Lynch<br />
* 18.2 Archer Goodwyn<br />
* 19.2 Felix Brener<br />
* 20.2 Charlotte Price<br />
<br />
===Fanhammer===<br />
<p>The Fanhammer is a large hammer made from cardboard boxes wrapped neatly in grey duct tape, with a band of glow-in-the-dark duct tape wrapped around the base of the handle. It also has a duct-tape wrist loop at the end of the handle, which requires frequent repair. It is quite sturdy and is a viable weapon for bopping people with. The holder of the Fanhammer is a position usually given to a two-more, passed down very unofficially at some point near the end of the session or at passionfruit. The hammer was created by the hall of Max Franklin during 12.2, and the hammer was given to him to hold the following year, bearing the name "Mjolnir". Since then it has been customary for the holder of the Fanhammer to re-dub it with a name of their own choice. The holder of the hammer should carry it around during the session and use it to affectionately whack other CTYers. </p><br />
<br />
Hammer Holders:<br />
*12.2 Max Franklin, Chris Grossack, Theo Lipeles<br />
*13.2 Max Franklin<br />
*14.2 Milan Roberson<br />
*15.2 Sophia Hager<br />
*16.2 Annie Gleiberman (When Savannah Parrot could not return)<br />
*17.2 Jake Landsman<br />
*18.2 Jamie Landsman<br />
*19.2 [[User: Savannah.neibart|Savannah Neibart]]<br />
<br />
===Anglerfish===<br />
<br />
The Anglerfish was a flamboyant sparkly cowboy hat, with two glowsticks attached to the brim. It derives its name from a certain deep sea Lophiiforme. At Lancaster session 2, the Anglerfish is a sign of individuality and self confidence. It is traditionally worn at every dance and quad time. That was until the end of 18.2 when the cowboy hat was stolen—currently, Clara Robertson, former Anglerfish wearer, is working on a new artifact. The angler fish is held for the wearer’s onemore and nomore years.<br />
<br />
Wearers:<br />
* 15.2: Ethan<br />
* 16.2-17.2: Russell Schwartz<br />
* 18.2-19.2: Clara Robertson<br />
* 20.2-21.2: Avery Lamprecht<br />
<br />
== Defunct Positions and Passed Items ==<br />
<br />
Some items or positions that have been passed down have not been revived or continued. Most of these positions are not likely to be brought up again. Here, they rest, until their records may be placed in a more proper location.<br />
<br />
===Satan (Session One)===<br />
<br />
Satan is still a part of the Session Two Pentinity, where it is now known as the Fiend. At Session One, the position of Satan died when Brenton Whiting failed to pass it down in 2012. It still informally exists, but only as an American Pie role any nomore/nevermore may sign up for.<br />
<br />
*01.1: Adam Roush<br />
*02.1: Gabe Slamovits<br />
*03.1: Jon Napolitano<br />
*04.1: Jeremy Berkowitz<br />
*05.1: Zev Hurwich<br />

*07.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*08.1: Everett "Ev" Maus<br />
*09.1: Joe Lodin<br />
*10.1: James "Turtle" Buckland<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />
*12.1: Brenton Whiting<br />
<br />
===Panda===<br />
<br />
In 2013, Kayla (Dos) Ende passed her dearly beloved stuffed panda bear to Masha Zhdanova after Passionfruit. The holder of the Panda Bear (according to Masha) should be a low-key loving person. The Panda was passed for two years until Kayla expressed her desire to have it back, as she had not intended it to be anything official. The passing never occurred during Passionfruit but rather afterwards.<br />
<br />
*13.1: Kayla (Dos) Ende<br />
*14.1: Masha Zhdanova<br />
*15.1: Chris Ponsa Nazario<br />
<br />
===Chester Q. Carter===<br />
<br />
Chester Q. Carter, or CQC, was the nickname of Loren Sherman, whose nomore session was 11.2. Loren was jokingly known for his status as "pimp" among his friends. Venya Mayakovsky, double-sessioning in his final year of 2012, informally declared himself CQC of 12.1. He then began considering making it an actual position. Loren's girlfriend, Hannah (still at CTY), spoke with Loren over the phone, and he gave his consent to CQC becoming a position. Venya did not give a Passionfruit speech at session 1, so even the ceremony of passing the position down was incredibly informal, although in the grand scheme of things, it could really be thought of as almost a joke position, but a position nonetheless. The purpose of the position is, as said by Venya and his successor Peter, is to teach the importance of independence and staying true to yourself and your own personal happiness, although not necessarily in a selfish manner. (But everyone knows it's really about getting all of the biddies.) The passed down item is intended to be a top hat (Loren is known for wearing one), but the top hat has yet to be purchased by the current positionholder.<br />
<br />
CQC was apparently not passed<br />
<br />
CQCs:<br />
* 11.2: Loren Sherman<br />
* 12.1: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.1: Peter Suh<br />
<br />
===The Guide===<br />
<br />
After the end of session 1 2011, Sam Cawkwell had the idea of creating a guide to CTY for squirrels to help them integrate more easily into the student culture. The guide is co-written by many wizards, but always led by the person who holds the position of The Guide. The passed down item is the master copy of the Guide itself from the previous year. For example, Sam passed down the 2012 edition of the Guide to Hannah Barclay. Unfortunately, Hannah did not return in 13.1, and the Guide was quietly phased out. It was generally considered by some (I emphasize the ''some'') to be a useless addition to Lancaster's culture.<br />
<br />
*12.1: Sam Cawkwell<br />
*13.1: Hannah Barclay<br />
<br />
===The Pimp===<br />
<br />
The Pimp, or Master Pimp is a first session position. The duty of The Pimp is to use his/her insanely amazing sexiness to make other incredible CTYers feel loved, good about themselves, and unbearably sexy as well. The Pimp is often found in the center of pimp-lines and encourages other pimp-lines to form. S/he is a frequent giver of hugs and other public displays of affection. <br />
<br />
Monogamy is not unheard of in the polygamous lifestyle of The Pimp, although it usually occurs toward the end of the session. The Pimp must keep in mind however, that loving one person more does not mean they have to love the rest of CTY less. If the Pimp is fortunate enough to form a relationship with an understanding and not particularly territorial CTYer, then he/she need not cease whoring off of everyone else. The Pimp should be a rather out-going CTYer who is loving, caring, and sexy beyond reason.<br />
<br />
The role of the Pimp is a far less pronounced roles than the roles of most other Lancastrian positions. The position, in fact, is not even passed down during CTY, but is given a less official transfer via direct communication between past and present Pimps.<br />
<br />
Pimps:<br />
* 07.1: Aaron Ladd<br />
* 08.1: [[User: PathologicalLiar|Kate Wymbs]] (Ev Maus may have also done some pimping during 08.1; however, it was not official)<br />
<br />
===Bitch Bra===<br />
<br />
This article of clothing is a strapless, hot pink bra with seven claps. During Session 2 of 2007, this bra was forfeited/passed on to [[user:maggieanne|Maggie Farrell]], as a twomore, by Nixxi Chen. The receiver of this bra is someone who is known as a 'bitch' because she speaks her mind. She also knows her way around inducing pain throughout a male's genitalia (just kidding...or am I?). <br />
<br />
For purposes of making it CTYA, the significance behind this bra, asides from being the ruling Queen Bitch, is that the wearer knows how to make fun of themselves and not take things too seriously. However when her friends need her she's always the shoulder to cry on.<br />
<br />
* 2007: Nixxi Chen<br />
* 2008-2009: Maggie Farrell<br />
<br />
===Jay and Silent Bob===<br />
<br />
Jay and Silent Bob is a new tradition that may or may not be revived as seen fit. It all started on Halloween at CTY Lancaster Session 2 2006 when Cristina D'Ancona dressed up as Jay from the movies "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Dogma" and others. Immediately, her friend Peter Treadway caught the reference and changed his costume (originally it had been "emo") by borrowing a bathrobe and a hat and drawing a beard on his face with sharpie to represent Jay's infamous partner, Silent Bob. Jay and Silent Bob proceeded to terrorize the campus with their antics, their place in CTY history carved in stone.<br />
<br />
The Jay and Silent Bob tradition is unique in that it CANNOT be passed on to the next generation of CTYers by the current Jay and Silent Bob. Anyone who wishes to continue the tradition only needs to don the costume, and play the part.<br />
<br />
===Risk Board===<br />
<br />
At Passionfruit of LAN 06.2, Greg Lawrence passed his Risk board which he'd used in previous years down to Vishal Mehta. The Board had been modified in Sharpie, changing the names of the oceans to various geographic locations at Franklin and Marshall, and the names of the continents to types of [[courses]] and groups of wizards. The idea behind it was that each bearer of the Board would cross out a territory's name and rename it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Vishal chose not to return to CTY in 2007. Instead, he chose to go to some medical study in California. As such, the Board is currently discontinued, and extremely unlikely to come back again.<br />
<br />
===Hammertime===<br />
<br />
The Hammertime has several definitions:<br />
<br />
# The official time zone of CTY Lancaster Session 2, especially during [[Silent Football]], but still applicable elsewhere.<br />
# The time on the watch of [[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]], which may or may not correspond with CTY time.<br />
# The time on the watch of the person wearing the Hammertime mood ring.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Jeff has lost the mood ring, which he had planned on passing down to the next Keeper of the Hammertime.<br />
<br />
Relatedly, during opening ceremonies at LAN.09.2, Matt the DRL declared, "CTY time is 7:21 p.m." supposedly neglecting to include the word "currently." This led many to respond throughout the session to the question, "What time is it?" with "7:21 p.m." along with the occasional "Hammertime," and also [un]officially established the time (in addition to the time zone) of Lancaster Session 2 as 7:21 p.m., Hammertime.<br />
<br />
====Origin of the Hammertime====<br />
<br />
Hammertime was created during a game of Silent Football during LAN.05.2, some time after music was declared existant within the universe.<br />
<br />
During this game, MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" was being played from a Kunkel balcony. The universe was dancing happily. Suddenly, <b>horror of unspeakable horrors</b>, a player wanted to know what time it was! Said player raised said player's hand and made said player's query, stating, "Mr. Dictator, what is the current time?" to which Mr. Dictator <br />
(Shea Levy) replied, "It is the Hammertime." To which the ever-curious player replied, "What is the current hammertime?" A certain player, [[User:Jeff Sachs|Dr. Strangelove or: Etymologies SUCKS]], was then called on and said, "Mr. Dictator, the current Hammertime is X:YZ." The term Hammertime was used repeatedly to ask this question, and the same player always had the answer. That player then made a request, saying, "Mr. Dictator I motion that the official time zone of the Universe be the Hammertime!" This motion was granted and has been enstated ever since.<br />

<div>[[Lancaster]] has the most [[student positions]] of any site, due to being one of the most tradition heavy. This is not a complete list of all positions, only those not accorded their own page. For a list of all Lancaster positions, see [[Student position#Lancaster|Lancaster Positions]].<br />
<br />
If a position appears to be missing, it may have been moved to the [[Memories:LAN|Lancaster Memories]] page. Once a position has lasted for over five years- long enough that everyone originally around during its creation has aged out- it may be considered for a move to this page. This pruning is due to the [[shameless egotism]] that has sprung up over the last decade regarding positions.<br />

<br />
==Both Sessions==<br />
<br />
===Quotebook===<br />
<br />
Quotebook spans both sessions. The duties of the person who holds the quotebook are to record funny, inspirational, or just plain weird things that are said at LAN in his or her quotebook, and then publish them for all to see on the internet after CTY. When a holder of the quotebook nomores or nevermores out, their quotebook will be passed down to someone who is coming back the next year and is willing to carry the duties out.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook was passed down at Passionfruit for the first time at 13.2 but may be passed through whatever method is most convenient to the outgoing quotekeeper.<br />
<br />
It began in 08.1, when two year tragedy [[User:Kokomo|Zoe M.]] noticed the multitude of quotable sayings being said wherever she went in Lancaster. Due to the lack of computers and her bad memory, she forgot most of them. Therefore, a quotebook made of notebook paper was created and decorated. It filled up within three days, as well as started to fall apart. A new, sturdy, 80 page mini notebook was bought and decorated. 250 quotes were collected in 08.1, and about 550 were collected the next year. At the end of the session, quotebooks were passed to twomore Marnie P. of second session and onemore Vira Shao of first session. Due to some necessary position switching, is unknown if second session will continue to have a book.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook has proven tricky to keep continuous between sessions, as in 11.1 when there was no Quotebook until the second week when it was realized that there was no Quotekeeping being done. Even if there is no strictly passed-down Quotebook, it is true that wherever there are CTYers, funny things being said, and notebooks for sale, there will be a quotebook<br />
<br />
All quotebooks should in theory be transcribed on the userpages of the quotekeepers.<br />
<br />
After 14.2, [[User:dihalikias|Diana Halikias]] and Sam Mauro (the 15.2 quotebook keeper) created a tumblr for Lancaster Session 2's quotes. It can be found at http://lancasterquotebook.tumblr.com/<br />
<br />
Daniel Rock kept quotes on a sheet of looseleaf paper. His successor purchased a lovely leatherbound unlined notebook to keep quotes in. Many recent Quotebook keepers take submissions before Last Supper (when quotes are read). A good place to hear funny quips and quotations is Acting Improv, where many Keepers go for inspiration. <br />
<br />
After 19.1, [[User:gracechen|Grace Chen]] and [[User:Deej|Deirdre Cunniffe]] (the 19.1 and 20.1 quotebook keepers) created a [[Quotebook|page to upload the quotes of the quotebook]] for all to enjoy.<br />

===Jack Flash===<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is a First Session position. Their main duty is the organization and management of the stringers and breakdancers during songs such as James Brown is Dead, Sandstorm, etc. Jack Flash will always be a nomore glowsticker, preforming in the circle along with other glowstickers and breakdancers. Jack Flash is also charged with promoting and teaching [[glowsticking]] among the students. Lastly, Jack Flash will play the role of Jack Flash in the students' circle during [[American Pie]].<br />
<br />
The first Jack Flash was Wes McClung, who saw the need for the position and created it in 08.1, his nomore year. The position was passed down to J. T. Booth ("Mongoose") in the form of the orange glowstick used for American Pie during 2nd saturday dance in 08.1. The one used during the last dance exploded in a shower of pure CTY awesomeness.<br />
<br />
In 11.1, a very awesome and PLUR-tastic raver had to leave CTY mid-session and bequeathed upon then-Jack Flash Ajay Nadig a pair of chain raving nun-chuks. Made of precisely <s>44</s> 42 chain links each (the perfect length!), Ajay chose to pass these down as the new Jack Flash relic to Logan C. One of these was unfortunately lost during 14.1 when they were stolen to distract the Jack Flash from holding his Blammo spoon. The popular belief is that it was picked up by a sports camp participant. Spencer McClung made a much longer and heavier chain with 42 links as a substitute. Ariel Uy replaced the chain with a nearly identical one to the original.<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is apparently associated with hats. Glib Dolotov wore a red fedora in 13.1, which he popped off his head whenever he sat on a candlestick at dances. This was passed, and each Jack Flash has passed a different hat. Spencer passed his bear hat, Sara Nill passed a Cookie Monster baseball cap, Ariel passed a JHU bluejays cap, and Matt passed a Santa hat.<br />

===Lanyard Stack===<br />
<br />
The lanyard stack is a collection of many lanyards and name cards accumulated through the years since 2009. It is meant to represent collecting the memories of CTY over the years. According to Rudy Garcia, it was never actually meant to be passed down at Passionfruit but only as a low-key artifact, although passing at Passionfruit started in 14.1, when Thomas passed it to Steven along with a half gallon of bad [[Turkey Hill]] lemonade. The keeper is expected to add their lanyard from the previous year to the stack. It is rather cumbersome to wear, although most keepers wear it around their necks and with the lanyards braided in an effort to ease the burden. They are then unbraided for Passionfruit. Thomas would loop it around his shoulder. <br />
<br />

<br />
===Coconuts===<br />
<br />
Coconuts is a onemore position and typically goes to an individual with knowledge of traditions. Coconuts receives a pair of empty coconut shells covered in duct tape and leads the students for the [[Monk Walk]] during dinner on the last Wednesday. During Passionfruit, the Coconuts of the session usually comes up momentarily in order to pass on their item. The coconuts used to be a relic belonging to the Jester, along with the corresponding responsibilities, but became a separate position in 2010 when the current jester handed them (and the responsibility) to onemore Deena Alexander.<br />
*10.1: Deena Alexander<br />

<br />
===Secretkeeper===<br />
<br />
The Secretkeeper is Lancaster's only secret position. The identity of a Secretkeeper may only be revealed after that position holder's term has expired, and purely at their discretion, so naturally it is the least-known Lancaster position. Should the identity of a keeper be discovered prematurely, the discoverer shall become the new position holder immediately. Although the main duty of a Secretkeeper is to keep their identity classified, they are also expected to aid taxing positions such as the Blammo Gods or Jack Flash whenever possible. The position was created in 10.1 by Jessica Wyatt and was passed down to Lucy He for 11.1.<br /><br />
<br />
During 15.1, the Secretkeeper notebook was mysteriously found in the Alcove by RA Wes and later given to Asher Orner, apparently lost during the Monk Walk. Asher Orner presented the notebook at Passionfruit, but no one claimed it. Since the position holder has not revealed their identity for 2 years running, as is their prerogative, some assumed it to be dead. Asher Orner threw the book into the crowd. A Ctyanonymous post was made soon after by the 16.1 secret keeper, confirming that the position is still alive, and that they have a way to get the notebook back. However, no evidence of the position being alive has been seen since, which has been at least 3 years, it is still considered dead.<br />

===Cloak===<br />
<br />
The Cloak is a majestic article of black velvet. It is silver on the inside. A student who went by Vlad but whose real name was Brian wore this cloak every day without exception throughout 13.1. The cloak took on a distinct CTY smell. Vlad explained at Passionfruit that the cloak was given to him by his squirrel year roommate. He passed the cloak/cape to a onemore. The Cloak Bearer is not required to wear the cloak; they are simply required to own it. The third owner of the cloak, John Isaac Boland, said that the bearer should simply pick a thing to be and be it as much and as hard as possible.<br />
<br />

*10.1: Evan Connors<br />

*20.1: Alex Rhoman<br />
<br />
===The Friend===<br />
<br />
The Friend is a position which was created by Brenton Whiting at Passionfruit 12.1 and given to then one-more, Anna Mehrabyan. It should be passed down from a nomore to a onemore. The idea of The Friend, as said by Brenton, is simply to be a friend. Someone to talk to or rely on. The Friend represents the friendships that form and kinship that exists between the wizards at CTY. This person is meant to personify these things and to be willing to be anyone's friend when they need one. The passed down item is a pair of rainbow suspenders, because like the Friend, they are whimsical and when the time comes will hold your pants up.<br />
The suspenders were stolen in 17.1, but Hudson got a new set for 18.1 which happened to come with a rainbow bow tie, so he will pass that down as well.<br />
<br />
Friends:<br />
* 12.1: Brenton Whiting (created position at Passionfruit)<br />

===Shots===<br />
<br />
During a game of Truth or Dare among COGN-A 13.1 students, [[User: cdonegan778|Ciara Donegan]] dared [[User:Andrewmoore|Andrew Moore]] and a few other classmates to drink bubble mix, not expecting anyone to actually do it. However, they did, and they repeated the stupidity every year following during the Thanksgiving Feast, a tradition started by [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]] in 14.1. In 15.1, Andrew bought shot glasses from the bookstore, so at the Thanksgiving Feast, he and other CTYers took shots of bubble mix. At Passionfruit, the shotglasses were used to take shots of SKL. Andrew, at the suggestion of the Trinity, then passed them to onemore [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]], officializing the item.<br />
<br />
The shot glass holders have a reputation for being slightly off their rockers.<br />
<br />
During 15.2, the stunt was repeated (carrying the tradition to session 2) along with the Thanksgiving feast by Andrew and other double-sessioners. Unexpectedly, large amounts of people decided to try a shot and the feast got rather out of hand. This caught the negative attention of DRL Will. At Passionfruit 15.2, the RAs attempted to suppress the passing of the position by preventing Andrew from speaking, but the item was passed down to Apurva afterwards anyway to Apurva Memani. However, the tradition did not continue at 16.2. The holder of the shot glasses, in addition to taking shots, organizes the Thanksgiving feast.<br />
<br />
At 16.1, Victoria led the CTYers in taking shots of a mixture of watermelon, watermelon juice, SKL, and cream soda. When a student suggested that the supreme watermelon overlord who sacrifices Carol should be a position, it was decided that the annual sacrifice of Carol the Watermelon should be forever continued. Rather than create a new position, the two current ringleaders of Carol and Thanksgiving decided to merge their duties and add the killing of Carol to the responsibilities of Shots in the future.<br />
<br />
After the fiasco at 15.2, admin declared that the ingestion of bubble mix was strictly forbidden. Shprinkles was reminded of this at the start of 16.1 with a stern warning. In light of the situation, the Thanksgiving Feast-goers took shots of lemon juice (as it was deemed to be similarly awful), SKL, and different combinations of the two. Admin was fine with this. <br />
<br />
At 18.1, [[User:SuperCrazyMonkey|Justin Su]] was unable to buy lemon juice, and instead brought a bottle of white vinegar to Thanksgiving. Everyone present took shots (some students watered theirs down), and the bottle was emptied. No students were harmed during this time.<br />
<br />
At 19.1, [[User:Xamuel| Sam Schulman]] brought a great amount of lemon juice to the session to prevent make sure vinegar shots never happened again. However, much to the unawareness of [[User:SophiaZR| Sophia Ribeiro]], [[User:AsianDonut| Matthew Maung]] drank all the lemon juice on his own before Thanksgiving. Therefore, the shots were done with Schnaderade, which had been made by Sophia during dinner and kept cool over an AC Unit until quad time. Despite it not tasting as awful as expected, this is not recommended. Please bring lemon juice and make sure nobody drinks it. Please.<br />

==Session 2==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.2 Position Holders]]''<br />
===King James===<br />
<br />
The position of King/Queen James is very similar to the position of Jack Flash. King James is a glowsticking position, that is bestowed on a glowsticker who embodies P.L.U.R., demonstrates their passion for glowsticking in their performance, and shares the artistry of glowsticking with the greater community whether through teaching or otherwise. They are more of a rallying point and encouraging, positive force in the glowsticking community as well as a leader. Even so, King James should ensure that the rave circle is always big enough to give everyone enough space to rave and ensure that two rave songs are played at each dance. This position was created in 2010 session 2 by [[User:Sqfnyc|Sam Fomon]]. During "[[James Brown is Dead]]" at the last dance of 10.2, instead of passing on her [[User:Sqfnyc#The James Brown Lives Jacket|James Brown Lives jacket]], she coronated Ryan Cebulko as King James I using a luminous crown she had fashioned from a plastic gold crown and EL-wire. This is to be the relic for King James, and each wearer of the crown should ideally add something shiny, flashy, and/or glow-y to the crown to make it even more seizure-inducing in the rave circle. King/Queen James is not necessarily given to a onemore, yet the recipient is encouraged to wear the crown for only one year and then pass it on in ceremony at the final "James Brown is Dead" of session. Jackie Liu made the crown anew, styled after the first, to guarantee its longevity and wearability, no matter whose cranium it cradles.<br />

===Squirrel of the Year===<br />
<br />
''Example'' is a CD by a band called For Squirrels. It was discovered in the fall of 2006 by [[User: Mint Sharpie|Ariel Hyre]], who simply could not leave it where she found it. She brought it back to Lancaster in 07.2, her nomore year, with the intent of passing it on to a worthy squirrel who had the intention of returning. The disc is to be bestowed on a squirrel at Passionfruit of Second Session at Lancaster, one who has approached CTY with great energy and enthusiasm and who plans to return the following year. For this reason, this position is frequently referred to as Squirrel of the Year. Muskaan Garg, however, lost the CD. She redeemed herself by replacing the CD with a stuffed edamame toy as a play on words of the acronym for Squirrel of the Year, SOY. <br />

===Duct Tape Dress Wearer===<br />
<br />
The Duct Tape Dress was created by [[User:Yulia|Yulia Korovikov]] in Second Session of 2007. The dress is very shiny and of quite good quality, though it requires frequent repair. Yulia decided to pass down the dress at Passionfruit to Ellie Kladky, whom she, along with many others, felt deserved a special item and title for her nomore year. Ellie returned in 08.2 and treated the dress as a friendly gift rather than a weighty tradition, and so gave it to Lena Beckenstein after the Passionfruit was over to avoid the trend of making empty traditions. However, the dress managed to survive and continues to be passed down. In 09.2, when Dennis Cowan received the dress, there were some issues with getting it to fit. Because of this, the dress was remade with velcro down one side so as to be easier to put on and take off. In 14.2, when October Henley wore the dress, it was discovered that the velcro had been inside out for years, and had accumulated all of its adornments on the wrong side. It was refurbished right-side out, every major fixture transplanted to the new front. As of 15.2, the dress now sports pockets in an attempt both to make the dress easier to wear with regards to the joys of being able to place things in them (up to and including an entire roll of duct tape!), as well as to hopefully prevent another inside-out incident. <br />
The Duct Tape Dress has been associated with enthusiasm, whether it is for CTY culture, sketchiness, or just doing as the wearer pleases, no matter how off the beaten path it is, as well as the encouragement of such behavior in others. Since 13.2, it has begun to collect love tape every love tape day.<br />

===Kiwi Backpack===<br />
<br />
The Kiwi Backpack was first given as a kindergarten gift from a boy known by his nick name "Kiwi" to his best friend, Hang-Hang, who was nicknamed "Strawberry". Hang-Hang carried around the backpack for ten years and was rarely seen without it; it was almost an extra limb, both at home and when he came to CTY. At CTY, he met Dan Russotto, and at Passionfruit of session two, 2010, Hang-Hang passed it down to Dan, his willingness to part with the navy backpack with "KIWI" embroidered on the front the ultimate symbol friendship. The backpack continues to symbolize friendship imparted; in the words of Louie Brown, "Basically, [the backpack symbolizes] someone who is a friend, someone who will always have your back, who will always be there to talk with you when you're down, when you need a shoulder or a voice in your life." <br />
<br />
Holders of the Kiwi Backpack:<br />
*10.2: Hang-Hang<br />
*11.2: [[User: AqueousFire|Dan Russotto]]<br />

*18.2: Claire Davis<br />
*19.2: Alexandra Mendelsohn<br />
<br />
===Rascal===<br />
<br />
The Rascal, formerly known as the Pedobear, is a session two position started with Loren Sherman who first passed down a teddy bear and position Pedobear to Venya Mayakovsky. However the Bear was lost. In 2012, a bear hat was given to Nick Richardson by Gia Rigoli. Nick decided to pass down the bear hat in place of the actual bear. Their job is to promote sketchiness and help the Fiend. Moreover, the Rascal is an advocate of experimentation for themselves and others, and is someone to cuddle with or be sketchy with, as long as you're comfortable. <br />
Note: the Rascal and Chester Q. Carter are positions created in the same year, by the same person, carried out the next year by the same person, but are distinct entities and occur over different sessions.<br />
<br />
Rascals:<br />
* 12.2: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.2: Nick Richardson<br />
* 14.2: Andrea Tsao<br />

* 18.2: Rene Itah<br />
* 19.2: Maira Carloni<br />
<br />
===Egg Parent===<br />
<br />
<p>The Egg Parent was originated at 15.2 by [[User:halloweenpants|Elliot Grant]]. The Egg Parent is the camper responsible for ensuring that session two's pride parade goes forward and ensuring that the Equality Egg is given new tape on Love Tape Day.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position itself was originated at 15.2, however, the artifact with which the position is passed down was created during 14.2, when Elliot was thrown into a popsickle stick crafting activity and created a giant egg out of duct tape and popsickle sticks. The egg was just that--an egg--until, during the first dance of 14.2, while Elliot and his friends were holding up the egg and chanting, a kid with a history of homophobia and sexism began to squeeze the egg, partially crushing it. Once the egg was repaired, it became known as the Equality Egg.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position came about after Elliot, with the help of Hanna Hildebolt, Rosemary Wonell, Colin Sackett, and others, and with special thanks to R.A. Viv, were able to bring back CTY Pride. The idea was sparked first by Skylar Karzhevsky. CTY Pride occurs on Love Tape Day and features slightly modified Afterdance chants, both versions of which are listed in the Nomorenomicon. The egg is meant to be passed down quietly immediately following the parade. However, Jessica Kuleshov, the second egg parent, passed it down to Ky during Passionfruit.</p><br />
<br />
Egg Parents:<br />
* 15.2: Elliot Grant<br />
* 16.2 Jessica Kuleshov<br />
* 17.2 Ky Lynch<br />
* 18.2 Archer Goodwyn<br />
* 19.2 Felix Brener<br />
* 20.2 Charlotte Price<br />
<br />
===Fanhammer===<br />
<p>The Fanhammer is a large hammer made from cardboard boxes wrapped neatly in grey duct tape, with a band of glow-in-the-dark duct tape wrapped around the base of the handle. It also has a duct-tape wrist loop at the end of the handle, which requires frequent repair. It is quite sturdy and is a viable weapon for bopping people with. The holder of the Fanhammer is a position usually given to a two-more, passed down very unofficially at some point near the end of the session or at passionfruit. The hammer was created by the hall of Max Franklin during 12.2, and the hammer was given to him to hold the following year, bearing the name "Mjolnir". Since then it has been customary for the holder of the Fanhammer to re-dub it with a name of their own choice. The holder of the hammer should carry it around during the session and use it to affectionately whack other CTYers. </p><br />
<br />
Hammer Holders:<br />
*12.2 Max Franklin, Chris Grossack, Theo Lipeles<br />
*13.2 Max Franklin<br />
*14.2 Milan Roberson<br />

*17.2 Jake Landsman<br />
*18.2 Jamie Landsman<br />
*19.2 [[User: Savannah.neibart|Savannah Neibart]]<br />
<br />
===Anglerfish===<br />
<br />
The Anglerfish was a flamboyant sparkly cowboy hat, with two glowsticks attached to the brim. It derives its name from a certain deep sea Lophiiforme. At Lancaster session 2, the Anglerfish is a sign of individuality and self confidence. It is traditionally worn at every dance and quad time. That was until the end of 18.2 when the cowboy hat was stolen—currently, Clara Robertson, former Anglerfish wearer, is working on a new artifact. <br />
<br />
Wearers:<br />
* 15.2: Ethan<br />
* 16.2-17.2: Russell Schwartz<br />
* 18.2-19.2: Clara Robertson<br />
* 20.2-21.2: Avery Lamprecht<br />

== Defunct Positions and Passed Items ==<br />

Some items or positions that have been passed down have not been revived or continued. Most of these positions are not likely to be brought up again. Here, they rest, until their records may be placed in a more proper location.<br />
<br />
===Satan (Session One)===<br />
<br />
Satan is still a part of the Session Two Pentinity, where it is now known as the Fiend. At Session One, the position of Satan died when Brenton Whiting failed to pass it down in 2012. It still informally exists, but only as an American Pie role any nomore/nevermore may sign up for.<br />

===Panda===<br />
<br />
In 2013, Kayla (Dos) Ende passed her dearly beloved stuffed panda bear to Masha Zhdanova after Passionfruit. The holder of the Panda Bear (according to Masha) should be a low-key loving person. The Panda was passed for two years until Kayla expressed her desire to have it back, as she had not intended it to be anything official. The passing never occurred during Passionfruit but rather afterwards.<br />
<br />
*13.1: Kayla (Dos) Ende<br />

*15.1: Chris Ponsa Nazario<br />
<br />
===Chester Q. Carter===<br />
<br />
Chester Q. Carter, or CQC, was the nickname of Loren Sherman, whose nomore session was 11.2. Loren was jokingly known for his status as "pimp" among his friends. Venya Mayakovsky, double-sessioning in his final year of 2012, informally declared himself CQC of 12.1. He then began considering making it an actual position. Loren's girlfriend, Hannah (still at CTY), spoke with Loren over the phone, and he gave his consent to CQC becoming a position. Venya did not give a Passionfruit speech at session 1, so even the ceremony of passing the position down was incredibly informal, although in the grand scheme of things, it could really be thought of as almost a joke position, but a position nonetheless. The purpose of the position is, as said by Venya and his successor Peter, is to teach the importance of independence and staying true to yourself and your own personal happiness, although not necessarily in a selfish manner. (But everyone knows it's really about getting all of the biddies.) The passed down item is intended to be a top hat (Loren is known for wearing one), but the top hat has yet to be purchased by the current positionholder.<br />
<br />
CQC was apparently not passed<br />
<br />
CQCs:<br />
* 11.2: Loren Sherman<br />
* 12.1: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.1: Peter Suh<br />
<br />
===The Guide===<br />
<br />
After the end of session 1 2011, Sam Cawkwell had the idea of creating a guide to CTY for squirrels to help them integrate more easily into the student culture. The guide is co-written by many wizards, but always led by the person who holds the position of The Guide. The passed down item is the master copy of the Guide itself from the previous year. For example, Sam passed down the 2012 edition of the Guide to Hannah Barclay. Unfortunately, Hannah did not return in 13.1, and the Guide was quietly phased out. It was generally considered by some (I emphasize the ''some'') to be a useless addition to Lancaster's culture.<br />
<br />
*12.1: Sam Cawkwell<br />
*13.1: Hannah Barclay<br />
<br />
===The Pimp===<br />
<br />
The Pimp, or Master Pimp is a first session position. The duty of The Pimp is to use his/her insanely amazing sexiness to make other incredible CTYers feel loved, good about themselves, and unbearably sexy as well. The Pimp is often found in the center of pimp-lines and encourages other pimp-lines to form. S/he is a frequent giver of hugs and other public displays of affection. <br />
<br />
Monogamy is not unheard of in the polygamous lifestyle of The Pimp, although it usually occurs toward the end of the session. The Pimp must keep in mind however, that loving one person more does not mean they have to love the rest of CTY less. If the Pimp is fortunate enough to form a relationship with an understanding and not particularly territorial CTYer, then he/she need not cease whoring off of everyone else. The Pimp should be a rather out-going CTYer who is loving, caring, and sexy beyond reason.<br />
<br />
The role of the Pimp is a far less pronounced roles than the roles of most other Lancastrian positions. The position, in fact, is not even passed down during CTY, but is given a less official transfer via direct communication between past and present Pimps.<br />
<br />
Pimps:<br />
* 07.1: Aaron Ladd<br />
* 08.1: [[User: PathologicalLiar|Kate Wymbs]] (Ev Maus may have also done some pimping during 08.1; however, it was not official)<br />
<br />
===Bitch Bra===<br />
<br />
This article of clothing is a strapless, hot pink bra with seven claps. During Session 2 of 2007, this bra was forfeited/passed on to [[user:maggieanne|Maggie Farrell]], as a twomore, by Nixxi Chen. The receiver of this bra is someone who is known as a 'bitch' because she speaks her mind. She also knows her way around inducing pain throughout a male's genitalia (just kidding...or am I?). <br />
<br />
For purposes of making it CTYA, the significance behind this bra, asides from being the ruling Queen Bitch, is that the wearer knows how to make fun of themselves and not take things too seriously. However when her friends need her she's always the shoulder to cry on.<br />
<br />
* 2007: Nixxi Chen<br />
* 2008-2009: Maggie Farrell<br />
<br />
===Jay and Silent Bob===<br />
<br />
Jay and Silent Bob is a new tradition that may or may not be revived as seen fit. It all started on Halloween at CTY Lancaster Session 2 2006 when Cristina D'Ancona dressed up as Jay from the movies "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Dogma" and others. Immediately, her friend Peter Treadway caught the reference and changed his costume (originally it had been "emo") by borrowing a bathrobe and a hat and drawing a beard on his face with sharpie to represent Jay's infamous partner, Silent Bob. Jay and Silent Bob proceeded to terrorize the campus with their antics, their place in CTY history carved in stone.<br />
<br />
The Jay and Silent Bob tradition is unique in that it CANNOT be passed on to the next generation of CTYers by the current Jay and Silent Bob. Anyone who wishes to continue the tradition only needs to don the costume, and play the part.<br />
<br />
===Risk Board===<br />
<br />
At Passionfruit of LAN 06.2, Greg Lawrence passed his Risk board which he'd used in previous years down to Vishal Mehta. The Board had been modified in Sharpie, changing the names of the oceans to various geographic locations at Franklin and Marshall, and the names of the continents to types of [[courses]] and groups of wizards. The idea behind it was that each bearer of the Board would cross out a territory's name and rename it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Vishal chose not to return to CTY in 2007. Instead, he chose to go to some medical study in California. As such, the Board is currently discontinued, and extremely unlikely to come back again.<br />
<br />
===Hammertime===<br />
<br />
The Hammertime has several definitions:<br />
<br />
# The official time zone of CTY Lancaster Session 2, especially during [[Silent Football]], but still applicable elsewhere.<br />
# The time on the watch of [[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]], which may or may not correspond with CTY time.<br />
# The time on the watch of the person wearing the Hammertime mood ring.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Jeff has lost the mood ring, which he had planned on passing down to the next Keeper of the Hammertime.<br />
<br />
Relatedly, during opening ceremonies at LAN.09.2, Matt the DRL declared, "CTY time is 7:21 p.m." supposedly neglecting to include the word "currently." This led many to respond throughout the session to the question, "What time is it?" with "7:21 p.m." along with the occasional "Hammertime," and also [un]officially established the time (in addition to the time zone) of Lancaster Session 2 as 7:21 p.m., Hammertime.<br />
<br />
====Origin of the Hammertime====<br />
<br />
Hammertime was created during a game of Silent Football during LAN.05.2, some time after music was declared existant within the universe.<br />
<br />
During this game, MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" was being played from a Kunkel balcony. The universe was dancing happily. Suddenly, <b>horror of unspeakable horrors</b>, a player wanted to know what time it was! Said player raised said player's hand and made said player's query, stating, "Mr. Dictator, what is the current time?" to which Mr. Dictator <br />
(Shea Levy) replied, "It is the Hammertime." To which the ever-curious player replied, "What is the current hammertime?" A certain player, [[User:Jeff Sachs|Dr. Strangelove or: Etymologies SUCKS]], was then called on and said, "Mr. Dictator, the current Hammertime is X:YZ." The term Hammertime was used repeatedly to ask this question, and the same player always had the answer. That player then made a request, saying, "Mr. Dictator I motion that the official time zone of the Universe be the Hammertime!" This motion was granted and has been enstated ever since.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Lancaster]] has the most [[student positions]] of any site, due to being one of the most tradition heavy. This is not a complete list of all positions, only those not accorded their own page. For a list of all Lancaster positions, see [[Student position#Lancaster|Lancaster Positions]].<br />
<br />
If a position appears to be missing, it may have been moved to the [[Memories:LAN|Lancaster Memories]] page. Once a position has lasted for over five years- long enough that everyone originally around during its creation has aged out- it may be considered for a move to this page. This pruning is due to the [[shameless egotism]] that has sprung up over the last decade regarding positions.<br />

==Both Sessions==<br />
<br />
===Quotebook===<br />
<br />
Quotebook spans both sessions. The duties of the person who holds the quotebook are to record funny, inspirational, or just plain weird things that are said at LAN in his or her quotebook, and then publish them for all to see on the internet after CTY. When a holder of the quotebook nomores or nevermores out, their quotebook will be passed down to someone who is coming back the next year and is willing to carry the duties out.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook was passed down at Passionfruit for the first time at 13.2 but may be passed through whatever method is most convenient to the outgoing quotekeeper.<br />
<br />
It began in 08.1, when two year tragedy [[User:Kokomo|Zoe M.]] noticed the multitude of quotable sayings being said wherever she went in Lancaster. Due to the lack of computers and her bad memory, she forgot most of them. Therefore, a quotebook made of notebook paper was created and decorated. It filled up within three days, as well as started to fall apart. A new, sturdy, 80 page mini notebook was bought and decorated. 250 quotes were collected in 08.1, and about 550 were collected the next year. At the end of the session, quotebooks were passed to twomore Marnie P. of second session and onemore Vira Shao of first session. Due to some necessary position switching, is unknown if second session will continue to have a book.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook has proven tricky to keep continuous between sessions, as in 11.1 when there was no Quotebook until the second week when it was realized that there was no Quotekeeping being done. Even if there is no strictly passed-down Quotebook, it is true that wherever there are CTYers, funny things being said, and notebooks for sale, there will be a quotebook<br />
<br />
All quotebooks should in theory be transcribed on the userpages of the quotekeepers.<br />
<br />
After 14.2, [[User:dihalikias|Diana Halikias]] and Sam Mauro (the 15.2 quotebook keeper) created a tumblr for Lancaster Session 2's quotes. It can be found at http://lancasterquotebook.tumblr.com/<br />
<br />
Daniel Rock kept quotes on a sheet of looseleaf paper. His successor purchased a lovely leatherbound unlined notebook to keep quotes in. Many recent Quotebook keepers take submissions before Last Supper (when quotes are read). A good place to hear funny quips and quotations is Acting Improv, where many Keepers go for inspiration. <br />
<br />
After 19.1, [[User:gracechen|Grace Chen]] and [[User:Deej|Deirdre Cunniffe]] (the 19.1 and 20.1 quotebook keepers) created a [[Quotebook|page to upload the quotes of the quotebook]] for all to enjoy.<br />

==Session 1==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.1 Position Holders]]''<br />
===Jack Flash===<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is a First Session position. Their main duty is the organization and management of the stringers and breakdancers during songs such as James Brown is Dead, Sandstorm, etc. Jack Flash will always be a nomore glowsticker, preforming in the circle along with other glowstickers and breakdancers. Jack Flash is also charged with promoting and teaching [[glowsticking]] among the students. Lastly, Jack Flash will play the role of Jack Flash in the students' circle during [[American Pie]].<br />
<br />
The first Jack Flash was Wes McClung, who saw the need for the position and created it in 08.1, his nomore year. The position was passed down to J. T. Booth ("Mongoose") in the form of the orange glowstick used for American Pie during 2nd saturday dance in 08.1. The one used during the last dance exploded in a shower of pure CTY awesomeness.<br />
<br />
In 11.1, a very awesome and PLUR-tastic raver had to leave CTY mid-session and bequeathed upon then-Jack Flash Ajay Nadig a pair of chain raving nun-chuks. Made of precisely <s>44</s> 42 chain links each (the perfect length!), Ajay chose to pass these down as the new Jack Flash relic to Logan C. One of these was unfortunately lost during 14.1 when they were stolen to distract the Jack Flash from holding his Blammo spoon. The popular belief is that it was picked up by a sports camp participant. Spencer McClung made a much longer and heavier chain with 42 links as a substitute. Ariel Uy replaced the chain with a nearly identical one to the original.<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is apparently associated with hats. Glib Dolotov wore a red fedora in 13.1, which he popped off his head whenever he sat on a candlestick at dances. This was passed, and each Jack Flash has passed a different hat. Spencer passed his bear hat, Sara Nill passed a Cookie Monster baseball cap, Ariel passed a JHU bluejays cap, and Matt passed a Santa hat.<br />

<br />
===Lanyard Stack===<br />
<br />
The lanyard stack is a collection of many lanyards and name cards accumulated through the years since 2009. It is meant to represent collecting the memories of CTY over the years. According to Rudy Garcia, it was never actually meant to be passed down at Passionfruit but only as a low-key artifact, although passing at Passionfruit started in 14.1, when Thomas passed it to Steven along with a half gallon of bad [[Turkey Hill]] lemonade. The keeper is expected to add their lanyard from the previous year to the stack. It is rather cumbersome to wear, although most keepers wear it around their necks and with the lanyards braided in an effort to ease the burden. They are then unbraided for Passionfruit. Thomas would loop it around his shoulder. <br />
<br />
Holders of the Lanyards:<br />
<br />
*09.1: Elena Karras<br />
*10.1: Julian Weiss<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />
*12.1: Zoe Colbert<br />
*13.1: Zoe Colbert<br />
*14.1: Thomas Haines<br />
*15.1: Max Lee (when Steven Zhou did not return)<br />
*16.1: [[User:Leadtip|Matthew Li]]<br />
*17.1: Sarah Michelsen<br />
*18.1: [[User:ArugulaBannerji|Aradhana Bannerji]] (originally [[User:MSpencer|Maya Spencer]])<br />
*19.1: Jessica Fox<br />
*20.1: [[User:TeleportingPanda| Sam Naiman]]<br />
<br />
===Coconuts===<br />
<br />
Coconuts is a onemore position and typically goes to an individual with knowledge of traditions. Coconuts receives a pair of empty coconut shells covered in duct tape and leads the students for the [[Monk Walk]] during dinner on the last Wednesday. During Passionfruit, the Coconuts of the session usually comes up momentarily in order to pass on their item. The coconuts used to be a relic belonging to the Jester, along with the corresponding responsibilities, but became a separate position in 2010 when the current jester handed them (and the responsibility) to onemore Deena Alexander.<br />
*10.1: Deena Alexander<br />
*11.1: Sam Sagan<br />
*12.1: Benjamin Zweig<br />
*13.1: Lou Lindsay<br />
*14.1: [[User:Qatarina|Katrina Howard]]<br />
*15.1: Chloe Kekedjian<br />
*16.1: [[User:Jordantheg|Jordan Ginsburg]]<br />
*17.1: [[User: Brick|Oliver "Brick" Reinhardt]]<br />
*18.1: Jordyn Flaherty<br />
*19.1: Ava Lazar<br />
*20.1: Henry Goldschmidt<br />
<br />
===Secretkeeper===<br />
<br />
The Secretkeeper is Lancaster's only secret position. The identity of a Secretkeeper may only be revealed after that position holder's term has expired, and purely at their discretion, so naturally it is the least-known Lancaster position. Should the identity of a keeper be discovered prematurely, the discoverer shall become the new position holder immediately. Although the main duty of a Secretkeeper is to keep their identity classified, they are also expected to aid taxing positions such as the Blammo Gods or Jack Flash whenever possible. The position was created in 10.1 by Jessica Wyatt and was passed down to Lucy He for 11.1.<br /><br />
<br />
During 15.1, the Secretkeeper notebook was mysteriously found in the Alcove by RA Wes and later given to Asher Orner, apparently lost during the Monk Walk. Asher Orner presented the notebook at Passionfruit, but no one claimed it. Since the position holder has not revealed their identity for 2 years running, as is their prerogative, some assumed it to be dead. Asher Orner threw the book into the crowd. A Ctyanonymous post was made soon after by the 16.1 secret keeper, confirming that the position is still alive, and that they have a way to get the notebook back. However, no evidence of the position being alive has been seen since, which has been at least 3 years, it is still considered dead.<br />
<br />
Secretkeepers:<br />
<br />
* 10.1: Jessica Wyatt<br /> <br />
* 11.1: Lucy He<br /> <br />
* 12.1: [Undisclosed]<br /> <br />
* 13.1: Laura Sakon<br /><br />
* 14.1: [Undisclosed]<br /><br />

* 19.1: ???<br />
* 20.1: ???<br />
<br />
===Cloak===<br />
<br />
The Cloak is a majestic article of black velvet. It is silver on the inside. A student who went by Vlad but whose real name was Brian wore this cloak every day without exception throughout 13.1. The cloak took on a distinct CTY smell. Vlad explained at Passionfruit that the cloak was given to him by his squirrel year roommate. He passed the cloak/cape to a onemore. The Cloak Bearer is not required to wear the cloak; they are simply required to own it. The third owner of the cloak, John Isaac Boland, said that the bearer should simply pick a thing to be and be it as much and as hard as possible.<br />
<br />
Cloak Bearers:<br />
*10.1: Evan Connors<br />
*11-13.1: Brian "Igor" DeRose<br />
*14.1: John Isaac Boland<br />
*15.1: Grace Drake<br />
*16.1: Sophia "Elphie" Hager<br />
*17.1: Alex Baxter<br />
*18.1: [[User:kerrycolf|Kerry Colford]] (when [[User:Mnemmxx|Misah Edwards]] could not return)<br />
*19.1: [[User:Julien Goodrich|Julien Goodrich]] (when [[User:Aleighyoung|Alex Young]] could not return)<br />
*20.1: Alex Rhoman<br />
<br />
===The Friend===<br />
<br />
The Friend is a position which was created by Brenton Whiting at Passionfruit 12.1 and given to then one-more, Anna Mehrabyan. It should be passed down from a nomore to a onemore. The idea of The Friend, as said by Brenton, is simply to be a friend. Someone to talk to or rely on. The Friend represents the friendships that form and kinship that exists between the wizards at CTY. This person is meant to personify these things and to be willing to be anyone's friend when they need one. The passed down item is a pair of rainbow suspenders, because like the Friend, they are whimsical and when the time comes will hold your pants up.<br />
The suspenders were stolen in 17.1, but Hudson got a new set for 18.1 which happened to come with a rainbow bow tie, so he will pass that down as well.<br />
<br />
Friends:<br />
* 12.1: Brenton Whiting (created position at Passionfruit)<br />
* 13.1: Hannah Mitlak (filled in for the absent [[User: Anulik96|Anna Mehrabyan]])<br />
* 14.1: Robby Feffer<br />
* 15.1: Dan Fu<br />
* 16.1: Brandon Lee<br />
* 17.1: Michael Corcione<br />
* 18.1: [[User:H double J|Hudson Jakubowicz]]<br />
* 19.1: [[User:Swolff24|Sylvie Wolff]]<br />
* 20.1: Daniella Tsang<br />
<br />
===Shots===<br />
<br />
During a game of Truth or Dare among COGN-A 13.1 students, [[User: cdonegan778|Ciara Donegan]] dared [[User:Andrewmoore|Andrew Moore]] and a few other classmates to drink bubble mix, not expecting anyone to actually do it. However, they did, and they repeated the stupidity every year following during the Thanksgiving Feast, a tradition started by [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]] in 14.1. In 15.1, Andrew bought shot glasses from the bookstore, so at the Thanksgiving Feast, he and other CTYers took shots of bubble mix. At Passionfruit, the shotglasses were used to take shots of SKL. Andrew, at the suggestion of the Trinity, then passed them to onemore [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]], officializing the item.<br />
<br />
The shot glass holders have a reputation for being slightly off their rockers.<br />
<br />
During 15.2, the stunt was repeated (carrying the tradition to session 2) along with the Thanksgiving feast by Andrew and other double-sessioners. Unexpectedly, large amounts of people decided to try a shot and the feast got rather out of hand. This caught the negative attention of DRL Will. At Passionfruit 15.2, the RAs attempted to suppress the passing of the position by preventing Andrew from speaking, but the item was passed down to Apurva afterwards anyway to Apurva Memani. However, the tradition did not continue at 16.2. The holder of the shot glasses, in addition to taking shots, organizes the Thanksgiving feast.<br />
<br />
At 16.1, Victoria led the CTYers in taking shots of a mixture of watermelon, watermelon juice, SKL, and cream soda. When a student suggested that the supreme watermelon overlord who sacrifices Carol should be a position, it was decided that the annual sacrifice of Carol the Watermelon should be forever continued. Rather than create a new position, the two current ringleaders of Carol and Thanksgiving decided to merge their duties and add the killing of Carol to the responsibilities of Shots in the future.<br />
<br />
After the fiasco at 15.2, admin declared that the ingestion of bubble mix was strictly forbidden. Shprinkles was reminded of this at the start of 16.1 with a stern warning. In light of the situation, the Thanksgiving Feast-goers took shots of lemon juice (as it was deemed to be similarly awful), SKL, and different combinations of the two. Admin was fine with this. <br />
<br />
At 18.1, [[User:SuperCrazyMonkey|Justin Su]] was unable to buy lemon juice, and instead brought a bottle of white vinegar to Thanksgiving. Everyone present took shots (some students watered theirs down), and the bottle was emptied. No students were harmed during this time.<br />
<br />
At 19.1, [[User:Xamuel| Sam Schulman]] brought a great amount of lemon juice to the session to prevent make sure vinegar shots never happened again. However, much to the unawareness of [[User:SophiaZR| Sophia Ribeiro]], [[User:AsianDonut| Matthew Maung]] drank all the lemon juice on his own before Thanksgiving. Therefore, the shots were done with Schnaderade, which had been made by Sophia during dinner and kept cool over an AC Unit until quad time. Despite it not tasting as awful as expected, this is not recommended. Please bring lemon juice and make sure nobody drinks it. Please.<br />
<br />

==Session 2==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.2 Position Holders]]''<br />
===King James===<br />
<br />
The position of King/Queen James is very similar to the position of Jack Flash. King James is a glowsticking position, that is bestowed on a glowsticker who embodies P.L.U.R., demonstrates their passion for glowsticking in their performance, and shares the artistry of glowsticking with the greater community whether through teaching or otherwise. They are more of a rallying point and encouraging, positive force in the glowsticking community as well as a leader. Even so, King James should ensure that the rave circle is always big enough to give everyone enough space to rave and ensure that two rave songs are played at each dance. This position was created in 2010 session 2 by [[User:Sqfnyc|Sam Fomon]]. During "[[James Brown is Dead]]" at the last dance of 10.2, instead of passing on her [[User:Sqfnyc#The James Brown Lives Jacket|James Brown Lives jacket]], she coronated Ryan Cebulko as King James I using a luminous crown she had fashioned from a plastic gold crown and EL-wire. This is to be the relic for King James, and each wearer of the crown should ideally add something shiny, flashy, and/or glow-y to the crown to make it even more seizure-inducing in the rave circle. King/Queen James is not necessarily given to a onemore, yet the recipient is encouraged to wear the crown for only one year and then pass it on in ceremony at the final "James Brown is Dead" of session. Jackie Liu made the crown anew, styled after the first, to guarantee its longevity and wearability, no matter whose cranium it cradles.<br />
<br />
King/Queen James:<br />
* 10.2: Sam Fomon<br />
* 11.2: Ryan Cebulko, King James I<br />
* 12.2: Jackie Liu, King James II<br />

* 14.2: Dan Fu, King James IV (when [[User:KingJamesIV|Lou Lindsay]], Regent James, did not return)<br />
* 15.2: Dan Fu, King James IV (he decided to keep the crown)<br />

===Squirrel of the Year===<br />
<br />
''Example'' is a CD by a band called For Squirrels. It was discovered in the fall of 2006 by [[User: Mint Sharpie|Ariel Hyre]], who simply could not leave it where she found it. She brought it back to Lancaster in 07.2, her nomore year, with the intent of passing it on to a worthy squirrel who had the intention of returning. The disc is to be bestowed on a squirrel at Passionfruit of Second Session at Lancaster, one who has approached CTY with great energy and enthusiasm and who plans to return the following year. For this reason, this position is frequently referred to as Squirrel of the Year. Muskaan Garg, however, lost the CD. She redeemed herself by replacing the CD with a stuffed edamame toy as a play on words of the acronym for Squirrel of the Year, SOY. <br />

===Duct Tape Dress Wearer===<br />
<br />
The Duct Tape Dress was created by [[User:Yulia|Yulia Korovikov]] in Second Session of 2007. The dress is very shiny and of quite good quality, though it requires frequent repair. Yulia decided to pass down the dress at Passionfruit to Ellie Kladky, whom she, along with many others, felt deserved a special item and title for her nomore year. Ellie returned in 08.2 and treated the dress as a friendly gift rather than a weighty tradition, and so gave it to Lena Beckenstein after the Passionfruit was over to avoid the trend of making empty traditions. However, the dress managed to survive and continues to be passed down. In 09.2, when Dennis Cowan received the dress, there were some issues with getting it to fit. Because of this, the dress was remade with velcro down one side so as to be easier to put on and take off. In 14.2, when October Henley wore the dress, it was discovered that the velcro had been inside out for years, and had accumulated all of its adornments on the wrong side. It was refurbished right-side out, every major fixture transplanted to the new front. As of 15.2, the dress now sports pockets in an attempt both to make the dress easier to wear with regards to the joys of being able to place things in them (up to and including an entire roll of duct tape!), as well as to hopefully prevent another inside-out incident. <br />
The Duct Tape Dress has been associated with enthusiasm, whether it is for CTY culture, sketchiness, or just doing as the wearer pleases, no matter how off the beaten path it is, as well as the encouragement of such behavior in others. Since 13.2, it has begun to collect love tape every love tape day.<br />

===Kiwi Backpack===<br />
<br />
The Kiwi Backpack was first given as a kindergarten gift from a boy known by his nick name "Kiwi" to his best friend, Hang-Hang, who was nicknamed "Strawberry". Hang-Hang carried around the backpack for ten years and was rarely seen without it; it was almost an extra limb, both at home and when he came to CTY. At CTY, he met Dan Russotto, and at Passionfruit of session two, 2010, Hang-Hang passed it down to Dan, his willingness to part with the navy backpack with "KIWI" embroidered on the front the ultimate symbol friendship. The backpack continues to symbolize friendship imparted; in the words of Louie Brown, "Basically, [the backpack symbolizes] someone who is a friend, someone who will always have your back, who will always be there to talk with you when you're down, when you need a shoulder or a voice in your life." <br />

<br />
===Rascal===<br />
<br />
The Rascal, formerly known as the Pedobear, is a session two position started with Loren Sherman who first passed down a teddy bear and position Pedobear to Venya Mayakovsky. However the Bear was lost. In 2012, a bear hat was given to Nick Richardson by Gia Rigoli. Nick decided to pass down the bear hat in place of the actual bear. Their job is to promote sketchiness and help the Fiend. Moreover, the Rascal is an advocate of experimentation for themselves and others, and is someone to cuddle with or be sketchy with, as long as you're comfortable. <br />
Note: the Rascal and Chester Q. Carter are positions created in the same year, by the same person, carried out the next year by the same person, but are distinct entities and occur over different sessions.<br />
<br />
Rascals:<br />
* 12.2: Venya Mayakovsky<br />

<br />
===Egg Parent===<br />
<br />
<p>The Egg Parent was originated at 15.2 by [[User:halloweenpants|Elliot Grant]]. The Egg Parent is the camper responsible for ensuring that session two's pride parade goes forward and ensuring that the Equality Egg is given new tape on Love Tape Day.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position itself was originated at 15.2, however, the artifact with which the position is passed down was created during 14.2, when Elliot was thrown into a popsickle stick crafting activity and created a giant egg out of duct tape and popsickle sticks. The egg was just that--an egg--until, during the first dance of 14.2, while Elliot and his friends were holding up the egg and chanting, a kid with a history of homophobia and sexism began to squeeze the egg, partially crushing it. Once the egg was repaired, it became known as the Equality Egg.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position came about after Elliot, with the help of Hanna Hildebolt, Rosemary Wonell, Colin Sackett, and others, and with special thanks to R.A. Viv, were able to bring back CTY Pride. The idea was sparked first by Skylar Karzhevsky. CTY Pride occurs on Love Tape Day and features slightly modified Afterdance chants, both versions of which are listed in the Nomorenomicon. The egg is meant to be passed down quietly immediately following the parade. However, Jessica Kuleshov, the second egg parent, passed it down to Ky during Passionfruit.</p><br />
<br />
Egg Parents:<br />
* 15.2: Elliot Grant<br />
* 16.2 Jessica Kuleshov<br />
* 17.2 Ky Lynch<br />
* 18.2 Archer Goodwyn<br />
* 19.2 Felix Brener<br />
* 20.2 Charlotte Price<br />
<br />
===Fanhammer===<br />
<p>The Fanhammer is a large hammer made from cardboard boxes wrapped neatly in grey duct tape, with a band of glow-in-the-dark duct tape wrapped around the base of the handle. It also has a duct-tape wrist loop at the end of the handle, which requires frequent repair. It is quite sturdy and is a viable weapon for bopping people with. The holder of the Fanhammer is a position usually given to a two-more, passed down very unofficially at some point near the end of the session or at passionfruit. The hammer was created by the hall of Max Franklin during 12.2, and the hammer was given to him to hold the following year, bearing the name "Mjolnir". Since then it has been customary for the holder of the Fanhammer to re-dub it with a name of their own choice. The holder of the hammer should carry it around during the session and use it to affectionately whack other CTYers. </p><br />
<br />
Hammer Holders:<br />
*12.2 Max Franklin, Chris Grossack, Theo Lipeles<br />
*13.2 Max Franklin<br />
*14.2 Milan Roberson<br />
*15.2 Sophia Hager<br />

*19.2 [[User: Savannah.neibart|Savannah Neibart]]<br />
<br />
===Anglerfish===<br />
<br />
The Anglerfish was a flamboyant sparkly cowboy hat, with two glowsticks attached to the brim. It derives its name from a certain deep sea Lophiiforme. At Lancaster session 2, the Anglerfish is a sign of individuality and self confidence. It is traditionally worn at every dance and quad time. That was until the end of 18.2 when the cowboy hat was stolen—currently, Clara Robertson, former Anglerfish wearer, is working on a new artifact. <br />
<br />
Wearers:<br />
* 15.2: Ethan<br />
* 16.2-17.2: Russell Schwartz<br />
* 18.2-19.2: Clara Robertson<br />
* 20.2-21.2: Avery Lamprecht<br />
<br />
== Defunct Positions and Passed Items ==<br />
<br />
Some items or positions that have been passed down have not been revived or continued. Most of these positions are not likely to be brought up again. Here, they rest, until their records may be placed in a more proper location.<br />
<br />
===Satan (Session One)===<br />
<br />
Satan is still a part of the Session Two Pentinity, where it is now known as the Fiend. At Session One, the position of Satan died when Brenton Whiting failed to pass it down in 2012. It still informally exists, but only as an American Pie role any nomore/nevermore may sign up for.<br />
<br />
*01.1: Adam Roush<br />
*02.1: Gabe Slamovits<br />
*03.1: Jon Napolitano<br />
*04.1: Jeremy Berkowitz<br />
*05.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*06.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*07.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*08.1: Everett "Ev" Maus<br />
*09.1: Joe Lodin<br />
*10.1: James "Turtle" Buckland<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />
*12.1: Brenton Whiting<br />
<br />
===Panda===<br />
<br />
In 2013, Kayla (Dos) Ende passed her dearly beloved stuffed panda bear to Masha Zhdanova after Passionfruit. The holder of the Panda Bear (according to Masha) should be a low-key loving person. The Panda was passed for two years until Kayla expressed her desire to have it back, as she had not intended it to be anything official. The passing never occurred during Passionfruit but rather afterwards.<br />
<br />
*13.1: Kayla (Dos) Ende<br />
*14.1: Masha Zhdanova<br />
*15.1: Chris Ponsa Nazario<br />
<br />
===Chester Q. Carter===<br />
<br />
Chester Q. Carter, or CQC, was the nickname of Loren Sherman, whose nomore session was 11.2. Loren was jokingly known for his status as "pimp" among his friends. Venya Mayakovsky, double-sessioning in his final year of 2012, informally declared himself CQC of 12.1. He then began considering making it an actual position. Loren's girlfriend, Hannah (still at CTY), spoke with Loren over the phone, and he gave his consent to CQC becoming a position. Venya did not give a Passionfruit speech at session 1, so even the ceremony of passing the position down was incredibly informal, although in the grand scheme of things, it could really be thought of as almost a joke position, but a position nonetheless. The purpose of the position is, as said by Venya and his successor Peter, is to teach the importance of independence and staying true to yourself and your own personal happiness, although not necessarily in a selfish manner. (But everyone knows it's really about getting all of the biddies.) The passed down item is intended to be a top hat (Loren is known for wearing one), but the top hat has yet to be purchased by the current positionholder.<br />
<br />
CQC was apparently not passed<br />
<br />
CQCs:<br />
* 11.2: Loren Sherman<br />
* 12.1: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.1: Peter Suh<br />
<br />
===The Guide===<br />
<br />
After the end of session 1 2011, Sam Cawkwell had the idea of creating a guide to CTY for squirrels to help them integrate more easily into the student culture. The guide is co-written by many wizards, but always led by the person who holds the position of The Guide. The passed down item is the master copy of the Guide itself from the previous year. For example, Sam passed down the 2012 edition of the Guide to Hannah Barclay. Unfortunately, Hannah did not return in 13.1, and the Guide was quietly phased out. It was generally considered by some (I emphasize the ''some'') to be a useless addition to Lancaster's culture.<br />
<br />
*12.1: Sam Cawkwell<br />
*13.1: Hannah Barclay<br />
<br />
===The Pimp===<br />
<br />
The Pimp, or Master Pimp is a first session position. The duty of The Pimp is to use his/her insanely amazing sexiness to make other incredible CTYers feel loved, good about themselves, and unbearably sexy as well. The Pimp is often found in the center of pimp-lines and encourages other pimp-lines to form. S/he is a frequent giver of hugs and other public displays of affection. <br />
<br />
Monogamy is not unheard of in the polygamous lifestyle of The Pimp, although it usually occurs toward the end of the session. The Pimp must keep in mind however, that loving one person more does not mean they have to love the rest of CTY less. If the Pimp is fortunate enough to form a relationship with an understanding and not particularly territorial CTYer, then he/she need not cease whoring off of everyone else. The Pimp should be a rather out-going CTYer who is loving, caring, and sexy beyond reason.<br />
<br />
The role of the Pimp is a far less pronounced roles than the roles of most other Lancastrian positions. The position, in fact, is not even passed down during CTY, but is given a less official transfer via direct communication between past and present Pimps.<br />
<br />
Pimps:<br />
* 07.1: Aaron Ladd<br />
* 08.1: [[User: PathologicalLiar|Kate Wymbs]] (Ev Maus may have also done some pimping during 08.1; however, it was not official)<br />
<br />
===Bitch Bra===<br />
<br />
This article of clothing is a strapless, hot pink bra with seven claps. During Session 2 of 2007, this bra was forfeited/passed on to [[user:maggieanne|Maggie Farrell]], as a twomore, by Nixxi Chen. The receiver of this bra is someone who is known as a 'bitch' because she speaks her mind. She also knows her way around inducing pain throughout a male's genitalia (just kidding...or am I?). <br />
<br />
For purposes of making it CTYA, the significance behind this bra, asides from being the ruling Queen Bitch, is that the wearer knows how to make fun of themselves and not take things too seriously. However when her friends need her she's always the shoulder to cry on.<br />
<br />
* 2007: Nixxi Chen<br />
* 2008-2009: Maggie Farrell<br />
<br />
===Jay and Silent Bob===<br />
<br />
Jay and Silent Bob is a new tradition that may or may not be revived as seen fit. It all started on Halloween at CTY Lancaster Session 2 2006 when Cristina D'Ancona dressed up as Jay from the movies "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Dogma" and others. Immediately, her friend Peter Treadway caught the reference and changed his costume (originally it had been "emo") by borrowing a bathrobe and a hat and drawing a beard on his face with sharpie to represent Jay's infamous partner, Silent Bob. Jay and Silent Bob proceeded to terrorize the campus with their antics, their place in CTY history carved in stone.<br />
<br />
The Jay and Silent Bob tradition is unique in that it CANNOT be passed on to the next generation of CTYers by the current Jay and Silent Bob. Anyone who wishes to continue the tradition only needs to don the costume, and play the part.<br />
<br />
===Risk Board===<br />
<br />
At Passionfruit of LAN 06.2, Greg Lawrence passed his Risk board which he'd used in previous years down to Vishal Mehta. The Board had been modified in Sharpie, changing the names of the oceans to various geographic locations at Franklin and Marshall, and the names of the continents to types of [[courses]] and groups of wizards. The idea behind it was that each bearer of the Board would cross out a territory's name and rename it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Vishal chose not to return to CTY in 2007. Instead, he chose to go to some medical study in California. As such, the Board is currently discontinued, and extremely unlikely to come back again.<br />
<br />
===Hammertime===<br />
<br />
The Hammertime has several definitions:<br />
<br />
# The official time zone of CTY Lancaster Session 2, especially during [[Silent Football]], but still applicable elsewhere.<br />
# The time on the watch of [[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]], which may or may not correspond with CTY time.<br />
# The time on the watch of the person wearing the Hammertime mood ring.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Jeff has lost the mood ring, which he had planned on passing down to the next Keeper of the Hammertime.<br />
<br />
Relatedly, during opening ceremonies at LAN.09.2, Matt the DRL declared, "CTY time is 7:21 p.m." supposedly neglecting to include the word "currently." This led many to respond throughout the session to the question, "What time is it?" with "7:21 p.m." along with the occasional "Hammertime," and also [un]officially established the time (in addition to the time zone) of Lancaster Session 2 as 7:21 p.m., Hammertime.<br />
<br />
====Origin of the Hammertime====<br />
<br />
Hammertime was created during a game of Silent Football during LAN.05.2, some time after music was declared existant within the universe.<br />
<br />
During this game, MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" was being played from a Kunkel balcony. The universe was dancing happily. Suddenly, <b>horror of unspeakable horrors</b>, a player wanted to know what time it was! Said player raised said player's hand and made said player's query, stating, "Mr. Dictator, what is the current time?" to which Mr. Dictator <br />
(Shea Levy) replied, "It is the Hammertime." To which the ever-curious player replied, "What is the current hammertime?" A certain player, [[User:Jeff Sachs|Dr. Strangelove or: Etymologies SUCKS]], was then called on and said, "Mr. Dictator, the current Hammertime is X:YZ." The term Hammertime was used repeatedly to ask this question, and the same player always had the answer. That player then made a request, saying, "Mr. Dictator I motion that the official time zone of the Universe be the Hammertime!" This motion was granted and has been enstated ever since.<br />

<div>[[Lancaster]] has the most [[student positions]] of any site, due to being one of the most tradition heavy. This is not a complete list of all positions, only those not accorded their own page. For a list of all Lancaster positions, see [[Student position#Lancaster|Lancaster Positions]].<br />
<br />
If a position appears to be missing, it may have been moved to the [[Memories:LAN|Lancaster Memories]] page. Once a position has lasted for over five years- long enough that everyone originally around during its creation has aged out- it may be considered for a move to this page. This pruning is due to the [[shameless egotism]] that has sprung up over the last decade regarding positions.<br />

<br />
==Both Sessions==<br />
<br />
===Quotebook===<br />
<br />
Quotebook spans both sessions. The duties of the person who holds the quotebook are to record funny, inspirational, or just plain weird things that are said at LAN in his or her quotebook, and then publish them for all to see on the internet after CTY. When a holder of the quotebook nomores or nevermores out, their quotebook will be passed down to someone who is coming back the next year and is willing to carry the duties out.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook was passed down at Passionfruit for the first time at 13.2 but may be passed through whatever method is most convenient to the outgoing quotekeeper.<br />
<br />
It began in 08.1, when two year tragedy [[User:Kokomo|Zoe M.]] noticed the multitude of quotable sayings being said wherever she went in Lancaster. Due to the lack of computers and her bad memory, she forgot most of them. Therefore, a quotebook made of notebook paper was created and decorated. It filled up within three days, as well as started to fall apart. A new, sturdy, 80 page mini notebook was bought and decorated. 250 quotes were collected in 08.1, and about 550 were collected the next year. At the end of the session, quotebooks were passed to twomore Marnie P. of second session and onemore Vira Shao of first session. Due to some necessary position switching, is unknown if second session will continue to have a book.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook has proven tricky to keep continuous between sessions, as in 11.1 when there was no Quotebook until the second week when it was realized that there was no Quotekeeping being done. Even if there is no strictly passed-down Quotebook, it is true that wherever there are CTYers, funny things being said, and notebooks for sale, there will be a quotebook<br />
<br />
All quotebooks should in theory be transcribed on the userpages of the quotekeepers.<br />
<br />
After 14.2, [[User:dihalikias|Diana Halikias]] and Sam Mauro (the 15.2 quotebook keeper) created a tumblr for Lancaster Session 2's quotes. It can be found at http://lancasterquotebook.tumblr.com/<br />
<br />
Daniel Rock kept quotes on a sheet of looseleaf paper. His successor purchased a lovely leatherbound unlined notebook to keep quotes in. Many recent Quotebook keepers take submissions before Last Supper (when quotes are read). A good place to hear funny quips and quotations is Acting Improv, where many Keepers go for inspiration. <br />
<br />
After 19.1, [[User:gracechen|Grace Chen]] and [[User:Deej|Deirdre Cunniffe]] (the 19.1 and 20.1 quotebook keepers) created a [[Quotebook|page to upload the quotes of the quotebook]] for all to enjoy.<br />

==Session 1==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.1 Position Holders]]''<br />
===Jack Flash===<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is a First Session position. Their main duty is the organization and management of the stringers and breakdancers during songs such as James Brown is Dead, Sandstorm, etc. Jack Flash will always be a nomore glowsticker, preforming in the circle along with other glowstickers and breakdancers. Jack Flash is also charged with promoting and teaching [[glowsticking]] among the students. Lastly, Jack Flash will play the role of Jack Flash in the students' circle during [[American Pie]].<br />
<br />
The first Jack Flash was Wes McClung, who saw the need for the position and created it in 08.1, his nomore year. The position was passed down to J. T. Booth ("Mongoose") in the form of the orange glowstick used for American Pie during 2nd saturday dance in 08.1. The one used during the last dance exploded in a shower of pure CTY awesomeness.<br />
<br />
In 11.1, a very awesome and PLUR-tastic raver had to leave CTY mid-session and bequeathed upon then-Jack Flash Ajay Nadig a pair of chain raving nun-chuks. Made of precisely <s>44</s> 42 chain links each (the perfect length!), Ajay chose to pass these down as the new Jack Flash relic to Logan C. One of these was unfortunately lost during 14.1 when they were stolen to distract the Jack Flash from holding his Blammo spoon. The popular belief is that it was picked up by a sports camp participant. Spencer McClung made a much longer and heavier chain with 42 links as a substitute. Ariel Uy replaced the chain with a nearly identical one to the original.<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is apparently associated with hats. Glib Dolotov wore a red fedora in 13.1, which he popped off his head whenever he sat on a candlestick at dances. This was passed, and each Jack Flash has passed a different hat. Spencer passed his bear hat, Sara Nill passed a Cookie Monster baseball cap, and Ariel passed a JHU bluejays cap.<br />

===Lanyard Stack===<br />
<br />
The lanyard stack is a collection of many lanyards and name cards accumulated through the years since 2009. It is meant to represent collecting the memories of CTY over the years. According to Rudy Garcia, it was never actually meant to be passed down at Passionfruit but only as a low-key artifact, although passing at Passionfruit started in 14.1, when Thomas passed it to Steven along with a half gallon of bad [[Turkey Hill]] lemonade. The keeper is expected to add their lanyard from the previous year to the stack. It is rather cumbersome to wear, although most keepers wear it around their necks and with the lanyards braided in an effort to ease the burden. They are then unbraided for Passionfruit. Thomas would loop it around his shoulder. <br />

<br />
===Coconuts===<br />
<br />
Coconuts is a onemore position and typically goes to an individual with knowledge of traditions. Coconuts receives a pair of empty coconut shells covered in duct tape and leads the students for the [[Monk Walk]] during dinner on the last Wednesday. During Passionfruit, the Coconuts of the session usually comes up momentarily in order to pass on their item. The coconuts used to be a relic belonging to the Jester, along with the corresponding responsibilities, but became a separate position in 2010 when the current jester handed them (and the responsibility) to onemore Deena Alexander.<br />

===Secretkeeper===<br />
<br />
The Secretkeeper is Lancaster's only secret position. The identity of a Secretkeeper may only be revealed after that position holder's term has expired, and purely at their discretion, so naturally it is the least-known Lancaster position. Should the identity of a keeper be discovered prematurely, the discoverer shall become the new position holder immediately. Although the main duty of a Secretkeeper is to keep their identity classified, they are also expected to aid taxing positions such as the Blammo Gods or Jack Flash whenever possible. The position was created in 10.1 by Jessica Wyatt and was passed down to Lucy He for 11.1.<br /><br />
<br />
During 15.1, the Secretkeeper notebook was mysteriously found in the Alcove by RA Wes and later given to Asher Orner, apparently lost during the Monk Walk. Asher Orner presented the notebook at Passionfruit, but no one claimed it. Since the position holder has not revealed their identity for 2 years running, as is their prerogative, some assumed it to be dead. Asher Orner threw the book into the crowd. A Ctyanonymous post was made soon after by the 16.1 secret keeper, confirming that the position is still alive, and that they have a way to get the notebook back. However, no evidence of the position being alive has been seen since, which has been at least 3 years, it is still considered dead.<br />

===Cloak===<br />
<br />
The Cloak is a majestic article of black velvet. It is silver on the inside. A student who went by Vlad but whose real name was Brian wore this cloak every day without exception throughout 13.1. The cloak took on a distinct CTY smell. Vlad explained at Passionfruit that the cloak was given to him by his squirrel year roommate. He passed the cloak/cape to a onemore. The Cloak Bearer is not required to wear the cloak; they are simply required to own it. The third owner of the cloak, John Isaac Boland, said that the bearer should simply pick a thing to be and be it as much and as hard as possible.<br />
<br />

*10.1: Evan Connors<br />

*20.1: Alex Rhoman<br />
<br />
===The Friend===<br />
<br />
The Friend is a position which was created by Brenton Whiting at Passionfruit 12.1 and given to then one-more, Anna Mehrabyan. It should be passed down from a nomore to a onemore. The idea of The Friend, as said by Brenton, is simply to be a friend. Someone to talk to or rely on. The Friend represents the friendships that form and kinship that exists between the wizards at CTY. This person is meant to personify these things and to be willing to be anyone's friend when they need one. The passed down item is a pair of rainbow suspenders, because like the Friend, they are whimsical and when the time comes will hold your pants up.<br />
The suspenders were stolen in 17.1, but Hudson got a new set for 18.1 which happened to come with a rainbow bow tie, so he will pass that down as well.<br />
<br />
Friends:<br />
* 12.1: Brenton Whiting (created position at Passionfruit)<br />

===Shots===<br />
<br />
During a game of Truth or Dare among COGN-A 13.1 students, [[User: cdonegan778|Ciara Donegan]] dared [[User:Andrewmoore|Andrew Moore]] and a few other classmates to drink bubble mix, not expecting anyone to actually do it. However, they did, and they repeated the stupidity every year following during the Thanksgiving Feast, a tradition started by [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]] in 14.1. In 15.1, Andrew bought shot glasses from the bookstore, so at the Thanksgiving Feast, he and other CTYers took shots of bubble mix. At Passionfruit, the shotglasses were used to take shots of SKL. Andrew, at the suggestion of the Trinity, then passed them to onemore [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]], officializing the item.<br />
<br />
The shot glass holders have a reputation for being slightly off their rockers.<br />
<br />
During 15.2, the stunt was repeated (carrying the tradition to session 2) along with the Thanksgiving feast by Andrew and other double-sessioners. Unexpectedly, large amounts of people decided to try a shot and the feast got rather out of hand. This caught the negative attention of DRL Will. At Passionfruit 15.2, the RAs attempted to suppress the passing of the position by preventing Andrew from speaking, but the item was passed down to Apurva afterwards anyway to Apurva Memani. However, the tradition did not continue at 16.2. The holder of the shot glasses, in addition to taking shots, organizes the Thanksgiving feast.<br />
<br />
At 16.1, Victoria led the CTYers in taking shots of a mixture of watermelon, watermelon juice, SKL, and cream soda. When a student suggested that the supreme watermelon overlord who sacrifices Carol should be a position, it was decided that the annual sacrifice of Carol the Watermelon should be forever continued. Rather than create a new position, the two current ringleaders of Carol and Thanksgiving decided to merge their duties and add the killing of Carol to the responsibilities of Shots in the future.<br />
<br />
After the fiasco at 15.2, admin declared that the ingestion of bubble mix was strictly forbidden. Shprinkles was reminded of this at the start of 16.1 with a stern warning. In light of the situation, the Thanksgiving Feast-goers took shots of lemon juice (as it was deemed to be similarly awful), SKL, and different combinations of the two. Admin was fine with this. <br />
<br />
At 18.1, [[User:SuperCrazyMonkey|Justin Su]] was unable to buy lemon juice, and instead brought a bottle of white vinegar to Thanksgiving. Everyone present took shots (some students watered theirs down), and the bottle was emptied. No students were harmed during this time.<br />
<br />
At 19.1, [[User:Xamuel| Sam Schulman]] brought a great amount of lemon juice to the session to prevent make sure vinegar shots never happened again. However, much to the unawareness of [[User:SophiaZR| Sophia Ribeiro]], [[User:AsianDonut| Matthew Maung]] drank all the lemon juice on his own before Thanksgiving. Therefore, the shots were done with Schnaderade, which had been made by Sophia during dinner and kept cool over an AC Unit until quad time. Despite it not tasting as awful as expected, this is not recommended. Please bring lemon juice and make sure nobody drinks it. Please.<br />

==Session 2==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.2 Position Holders]]''<br />
===King James===<br />
<br />
The position of King/Queen James is very similar to the position of Jack Flash. King James is a glowsticking position, that is bestowed on a glowsticker who embodies P.L.U.R., demonstrates their passion for glowsticking in their performance, and shares the artistry of glowsticking with the greater community whether through teaching or otherwise. They are more of a rallying point and encouraging, positive force in the glowsticking community as well as a leader. Even so, King James should ensure that the rave circle is always big enough to give everyone enough space to rave and ensure that two rave songs are played at each dance. This position was created in 2010 session 2 by [[User:Sqfnyc|Sam Fomon]]. During "[[James Brown is Dead]]" at the last dance of 10.2, instead of passing on her [[User:Sqfnyc#The James Brown Lives Jacket|James Brown Lives jacket]], she coronated Ryan Cebulko as King James I using a luminous crown she had fashioned from a plastic gold crown and EL-wire. This is to be the relic for King James, and each wearer of the crown should ideally add something shiny, flashy, and/or glow-y to the crown to make it even more seizure-inducing in the rave circle. King/Queen James is not necessarily given to a onemore, yet the recipient is encouraged to wear the crown for only one year and then pass it on in ceremony at the final "James Brown is Dead" of session. Jackie Liu made the crown anew, styled after the first, to guarantee its longevity and wearability, no matter whose cranium it cradles.<br />

===Squirrel of the Year===<br />
<br />
''Example'' is a CD by a band called For Squirrels. It was discovered in the fall of 2006 by [[User: Mint Sharpie|Ariel Hyre]], who simply could not leave it where she found it. She brought it back to Lancaster in 07.2, her nomore year, with the intent of passing it on to a worthy squirrel who had the intention of returning. The disc is to be bestowed on a squirrel at Passionfruit of Second Session at Lancaster, one who has approached CTY with great energy and enthusiasm and who plans to return the following year. For this reason, this position is frequently referred to as Squirrel of the Year. Muskaan Garg, however, lost the CD. She redeemed herself by replacing the CD with a stuffed edamame toy as a play on words of the acronym for Squirrel of the Year, SOY. <br />

===Duct Tape Dress Wearer===<br />
<br />
The Duct Tape Dress was created by [[User:Yulia|Yulia Korovikov]] in Second Session of 2007. The dress is very shiny and of quite good quality, though it requires frequent repair. Yulia decided to pass down the dress at Passionfruit to Ellie Kladky, whom she, along with many others, felt deserved a special item and title for her nomore year. Ellie returned in 08.2 and treated the dress as a friendly gift rather than a weighty tradition, and so gave it to Lena Beckenstein after the Passionfruit was over to avoid the trend of making empty traditions. However, the dress managed to survive and continues to be passed down. In 09.2, when Dennis Cowan received the dress, there were some issues with getting it to fit. Because of this, the dress was remade with velcro down one side so as to be easier to put on and take off. In 14.2, when October Henley wore the dress, it was discovered that the velcro had been inside out for years, and had accumulated all of its adornments on the wrong side. It was refurbished right-side out, every major fixture transplanted to the new front. As of 15.2, the dress now sports pockets in an attempt both to make the dress easier to wear with regards to the joys of being able to place things in them (up to and including an entire roll of duct tape!), as well as to hopefully prevent another inside-out incident. <br />
The Duct Tape Dress has been associated with enthusiasm, whether it is for CTY culture, sketchiness, or just doing as the wearer pleases, no matter how off the beaten path it is, as well as the encouragement of such behavior in others. Since 13.2, it has begun to collect love tape every love tape day.<br />

===Kiwi Backpack===<br />
<br />
The Kiwi Backpack was first given as a kindergarten gift from a boy known by his nick name "Kiwi" to his best friend, Hang-Hang, who was nicknamed "Strawberry". Hang-Hang carried around the backpack for ten years and was rarely seen without it; it was almost an extra limb, both at home and when he came to CTY. At CTY, he met Dan Russotto, and at Passionfruit of session two, 2010, Hang-Hang passed it down to Dan, his willingness to part with the navy backpack with "KIWI" embroidered on the front the ultimate symbol friendship. The backpack continues to symbolize friendship imparted; in the words of Louie Brown, "Basically, [the backpack symbolizes] someone who is a friend, someone who will always have your back, who will always be there to talk with you when you're down, when you need a shoulder or a voice in your life." <br />
<br />
Holders of the Kiwi Backpack:<br />
*10.2: Hang-Hang<br />
*11.2: [[User: AqueousFire|Dan Russotto]]<br />

*17.2: Alex Burnside<br />
*18.2: Claire Davis<br />
*19.2: Alexandra Mendelsohn<br />
<br />
===Rascal===<br />
<br />
The Rascal, formerly known as the Pedobear, is a session two position started with Loren Sherman who first passed down a teddy bear and position Pedobear to Venya Mayakovsky. However the Bear was lost. In 2012, a bear hat was given to Nick Richardson by Gia Rigoli. Nick decided to pass down the bear hat in place of the actual bear. Their job is to promote sketchiness and help the Fiend. Moreover, the Rascal is an advocate of experimentation for themselves and others, and is someone to cuddle with or be sketchy with, as long as you're comfortable. <br />
Note: the Rascal and Chester Q. Carter are positions created in the same year, by the same person, carried out the next year by the same person, but are distinct entities and occur over different sessions.<br />
<br />
Rascals:<br />
* 12.2: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.2: Nick Richardson<br />
* 14.2: Andrea Tsao<br />
* 15.2: Mona Lee<br />
* 16.2: Claire Medina<br />
* 17.2: Gloria Herman<br />
* 18.2: Rene Itah<br />
* 19.2: Maira Carloni<br />
<br />
===Egg Parent===<br />
<br />
<p>The Egg Parent was originated at 15.2 by [[User:halloweenpants|Elliot Grant]]. The Egg Parent is the camper responsible for ensuring that session two's pride parade goes forward and ensuring that the Equality Egg is given new tape on Love Tape Day.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position itself was originated at 15.2, however, the artifact with which the position is passed down was created during 14.2, when Elliot was thrown into a popsickle stick crafting activity and created a giant egg out of duct tape and popsickle sticks. The egg was just that--an egg--until, during the first dance of 14.2, while Elliot and his friends were holding up the egg and chanting, a kid with a history of homophobia and sexism began to squeeze the egg, partially crushing it. Once the egg was repaired, it became known as the Equality Egg.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position came about after Elliot, with the help of Hanna Hildebolt, Rosemary Wonell, Colin Sackett, and others, and with special thanks to R.A. Viv, were able to bring back CTY Pride. The idea was sparked first by Skylar Karzhevsky. CTY Pride occurs on Love Tape Day and features slightly modified Afterdance chants, both versions of which are listed in the Nomorenomicon. The egg is meant to be passed down quietly immediately following the parade. However, Jessica Kuleshov, the second egg parent, passed it down to Ky during Passionfruit.</p><br />
<br />
Egg Parents:<br />
* 15.2: Elliot Grant<br />
* 16.2 Jessica Kuleshov<br />
* 17.2 Ky Lynch<br />
* 18.2 Archer Goodwyn<br />
* 19.2 Felix Brener<br />
* 20.2 Charlotte Price<br />
<br />
===Fanhammer===<br />
<p>The Fanhammer is a large hammer made from cardboard boxes wrapped neatly in grey duct tape, with a band of glow-in-the-dark duct tape wrapped around the base of the handle. It also has a duct-tape wrist loop at the end of the handle, which requires frequent repair. It is quite sturdy and is a viable weapon for bopping people with. The holder of the Fanhammer is a position usually given to a two-more, passed down very unofficially at some point near the end of the session or at passionfruit. The hammer was created by the hall of Max Franklin during 12.2, and the hammer was given to him to hold the following year, bearing the name "Mjolnir". Since then it has been customary for the holder of the Fanhammer to re-dub it with a name of their own choice. The holder of the hammer should carry it around during the session and use it to affectionately whack other CTYers. </p><br />
<br />
Hammer Holders:<br />
*12.2 Max Franklin, Chris Grossack, Theo Lipeles<br />
*13.2 Max Franklin<br />
*14.2 Milan Roberson<br />
*15.2 Sophia Hager<br />
*16.2 Annie Gleiberman (When Savannah Parrot could not return)<br />
*17.2 Jake Landsman<br />
*18.2 Jamie Landsman<br />
*19.2 [[User: Savannah.neibart|Savannah Neibart]]<br />
<br />
===Anglerfish===<br />
<br />
The Anglerfish was a flamboyant sparkly cowboy hat, with two glowsticks attached to the brim. It derives its name from a certain deep sea Lophiiforme. At Lancaster session 2, the Anglerfish is a sign of individuality and self confidence. It is traditionally worn at every dance and quad time. That was until the end of 18.2 when the cowboy hat was stolen—currently, Clara Robertson, former Anglerfish wearer, is working on a new artifact. <br />
<br />
Wearers:<br />
* 15.2: Ethan<br />
* 16.2-17.2: Russell Schwartz<br />
* 18.2-19.2: Clara Robertson<br />
* 20.2-21.2: Avery Lamprecht<br />

== Defunct Positions and Passed Items ==<br />
<br />
Some items or positions that have been passed down have not been revived or continued. Most of these positions are not likely to be brought up again. Here, they rest, until their records may be placed in a more proper location.<br />
<br />
===Satan (Session One)===<br />
<br />
Satan is still a part of the Session Two Pentinity, where it is now known as the Fiend. At Session One, the position of Satan died when Brenton Whiting failed to pass it down in 2012. It still informally exists, but only as an American Pie role any nomore/nevermore may sign up for.<br />

===Panda===<br />
<br />
In 2013, Kayla (Dos) Ende passed her dearly beloved stuffed panda bear to Masha Zhdanova after Passionfruit. The holder of the Panda Bear (according to Masha) should be a low-key loving person. The Panda was passed for two years until Kayla expressed her desire to have it back, as she had not intended it to be anything official. The passing never occurred during Passionfruit but rather afterwards.<br />
<br />
*13.1: Kayla (Dos) Ende<br />
*14.1: Masha Zhdanova<br />
*15.1: Chris Ponsa Nazario<br />
<br />
===Chester Q. Carter===<br />
<br />
Chester Q. Carter, or CQC, was the nickname of Loren Sherman, whose nomore session was 11.2. Loren was jokingly known for his status as "pimp" among his friends. Venya Mayakovsky, double-sessioning in his final year of 2012, informally declared himself CQC of 12.1. He then began considering making it an actual position. Loren's girlfriend, Hannah (still at CTY), spoke with Loren over the phone, and he gave his consent to CQC becoming a position. Venya did not give a Passionfruit speech at session 1, so even the ceremony of passing the position down was incredibly informal, although in the grand scheme of things, it could really be thought of as almost a joke position, but a position nonetheless. The purpose of the position is, as said by Venya and his successor Peter, is to teach the importance of independence and staying true to yourself and your own personal happiness, although not necessarily in a selfish manner. (But everyone knows it's really about getting all of the biddies.) The passed down item is intended to be a top hat (Loren is known for wearing one), but the top hat has yet to be purchased by the current positionholder.<br />
<br />
CQC was apparently not passed<br />
<br />
CQCs:<br />
* 11.2: Loren Sherman<br />
* 12.1: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.1: Peter Suh<br />
<br />
===The Guide===<br />
<br />
After the end of session 1 2011, Sam Cawkwell had the idea of creating a guide to CTY for squirrels to help them integrate more easily into the student culture. The guide is co-written by many wizards, but always led by the person who holds the position of The Guide. The passed down item is the master copy of the Guide itself from the previous year. For example, Sam passed down the 2012 edition of the Guide to Hannah Barclay. Unfortunately, Hannah did not return in 13.1, and the Guide was quietly phased out. It was generally considered by some (I emphasize the ''some'') to be a useless addition to Lancaster's culture.<br />
<br />
*12.1: Sam Cawkwell<br />
*13.1: Hannah Barclay<br />
<br />
===The Pimp===<br />
<br />
The Pimp, or Master Pimp is a first session position. The duty of The Pimp is to use his/her insanely amazing sexiness to make other incredible CTYers feel loved, good about themselves, and unbearably sexy as well. The Pimp is often found in the center of pimp-lines and encourages other pimp-lines to form. S/he is a frequent giver of hugs and other public displays of affection. <br />
<br />
Monogamy is not unheard of in the polygamous lifestyle of The Pimp, although it usually occurs toward the end of the session. The Pimp must keep in mind however, that loving one person more does not mean they have to love the rest of CTY less. If the Pimp is fortunate enough to form a relationship with an understanding and not particularly territorial CTYer, then he/she need not cease whoring off of everyone else. The Pimp should be a rather out-going CTYer who is loving, caring, and sexy beyond reason.<br />
<br />
The role of the Pimp is a far less pronounced roles than the roles of most other Lancastrian positions. The position, in fact, is not even passed down during CTY, but is given a less official transfer via direct communication between past and present Pimps.<br />
<br />
Pimps:<br />
* 07.1: Aaron Ladd<br />
* 08.1: [[User: PathologicalLiar|Kate Wymbs]] (Ev Maus may have also done some pimping during 08.1; however, it was not official)<br />
<br />
===Bitch Bra===<br />
<br />
This article of clothing is a strapless, hot pink bra with seven claps. During Session 2 of 2007, this bra was forfeited/passed on to [[user:maggieanne|Maggie Farrell]], as a twomore, by Nixxi Chen. The receiver of this bra is someone who is known as a 'bitch' because she speaks her mind. She also knows her way around inducing pain throughout a male's genitalia (just kidding...or am I?). <br />
<br />
For purposes of making it CTYA, the significance behind this bra, asides from being the ruling Queen Bitch, is that the wearer knows how to make fun of themselves and not take things too seriously. However when her friends need her she's always the shoulder to cry on.<br />
<br />
* 2007: Nixxi Chen<br />
* 2008-2009: Maggie Farrell<br />
<br />
===Jay and Silent Bob===<br />
<br />
Jay and Silent Bob is a new tradition that may or may not be revived as seen fit. It all started on Halloween at CTY Lancaster Session 2 2006 when Cristina D'Ancona dressed up as Jay from the movies "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Dogma" and others. Immediately, her friend Peter Treadway caught the reference and changed his costume (originally it had been "emo") by borrowing a bathrobe and a hat and drawing a beard on his face with sharpie to represent Jay's infamous partner, Silent Bob. Jay and Silent Bob proceeded to terrorize the campus with their antics, their place in CTY history carved in stone.<br />
<br />
The Jay and Silent Bob tradition is unique in that it CANNOT be passed on to the next generation of CTYers by the current Jay and Silent Bob. Anyone who wishes to continue the tradition only needs to don the costume, and play the part.<br />
<br />
===Risk Board===<br />
<br />
At Passionfruit of LAN 06.2, Greg Lawrence passed his Risk board which he'd used in previous years down to Vishal Mehta. The Board had been modified in Sharpie, changing the names of the oceans to various geographic locations at Franklin and Marshall, and the names of the continents to types of [[courses]] and groups of wizards. The idea behind it was that each bearer of the Board would cross out a territory's name and rename it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Vishal chose not to return to CTY in 2007. Instead, he chose to go to some medical study in California. As such, the Board is currently discontinued, and extremely unlikely to come back again.<br />
<br />
===Hammertime===<br />
<br />
The Hammertime has several definitions:<br />
<br />
# The official time zone of CTY Lancaster Session 2, especially during [[Silent Football]], but still applicable elsewhere.<br />
# The time on the watch of [[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]], which may or may not correspond with CTY time.<br />
# The time on the watch of the person wearing the Hammertime mood ring.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Jeff has lost the mood ring, which he had planned on passing down to the next Keeper of the Hammertime.<br />
<br />
Relatedly, during opening ceremonies at LAN.09.2, Matt the DRL declared, "CTY time is 7:21 p.m." supposedly neglecting to include the word "currently." This led many to respond throughout the session to the question, "What time is it?" with "7:21 p.m." along with the occasional "Hammertime," and also [un]officially established the time (in addition to the time zone) of Lancaster Session 2 as 7:21 p.m., Hammertime.<br />
<br />
====Origin of the Hammertime====<br />
<br />
Hammertime was created during a game of Silent Football during LAN.05.2, some time after music was declared existant within the universe.<br />
<br />
During this game, MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" was being played from a Kunkel balcony. The universe was dancing happily. Suddenly, <b>horror of unspeakable horrors</b>, a player wanted to know what time it was! Said player raised said player's hand and made said player's query, stating, "Mr. Dictator, what is the current time?" to which Mr. Dictator <br />
(Shea Levy) replied, "It is the Hammertime." To which the ever-curious player replied, "What is the current hammertime?" A certain player, [[User:Jeff Sachs|Dr. Strangelove or: Etymologies SUCKS]], was then called on and said, "Mr. Dictator, the current Hammertime is X:YZ." The term Hammertime was used repeatedly to ask this question, and the same player always had the answer. That player then made a request, saying, "Mr. Dictator I motion that the official time zone of the Universe be the Hammertime!" This motion was granted and has been enstated ever since.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Lancaster]] has the most [[student positions]] of any site, due to being one of the most tradition heavy. This is not a complete list of all positions, only those not accorded their own page. For a list of all Lancaster positions, see [[Student position#Lancaster|Lancaster Positions]].<br />
<br />
If a position appears to be missing, it may have been moved to the [[Memories:LAN|Lancaster Memories]] page. Once a position has lasted for over five years- long enough that everyone originally around during its creation has aged out- it may be considered for a move to this page. This pruning is due to the [[shameless egotism]] that has sprung up over the last decade regarding positions.<br />

==Both Sessions==<br />
<br />
===Quotebook===<br />
<br />
Quotebook spans both sessions. The duties of the person who holds the quotebook are to record funny, inspirational, or just plain weird things that are said at LAN in his or her quotebook, and then publish them for all to see on the internet after CTY. When a holder of the quotebook nomores or nevermores out, their quotebook will be passed down to someone who is coming back the next year and is willing to carry the duties out.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook was passed down at Passionfruit for the first time at 13.2 but may be passed through whatever method is most convenient to the outgoing quotekeeper.<br />
<br />
It began in 08.1, when two year tragedy [[User:Kokomo|Zoe M.]] noticed the multitude of quotable sayings being said wherever she went in Lancaster. Due to the lack of computers and her bad memory, she forgot most of them. Therefore, a quotebook made of notebook paper was created and decorated. It filled up within three days, as well as started to fall apart. A new, sturdy, 80 page mini notebook was bought and decorated. 250 quotes were collected in 08.1, and about 550 were collected the next year. At the end of the session, quotebooks were passed to twomore Marnie P. of second session and onemore Vira Shao of first session. Due to some necessary position switching, is unknown if second session will continue to have a book.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook has proven tricky to keep continuous between sessions, as in 11.1 when there was no Quotebook until the second week when it was realized that there was no Quotekeeping being done. Even if there is no strictly passed-down Quotebook, it is true that wherever there are CTYers, funny things being said, and notebooks for sale, there will be a quotebook<br />
<br />
All quotebooks should in theory be transcribed on the userpages of the quotekeepers.<br />
<br />
After 14.2, [[User:dihalikias|Diana Halikias]] and Sam Mauro (the 15.2 quotebook keeper) created a tumblr for Lancaster Session 2's quotes. It can be found at http://lancasterquotebook.tumblr.com/<br />
<br />
Daniel Rock kept quotes on a sheet of looseleaf paper. His successor purchased a lovely leatherbound unlined notebook to keep quotes in. Many recent Quotebook keepers take submissions before Last Supper (when quotes are read). A good place to hear funny quips and quotations is Acting Improv, where many Keepers go for inspiration. <br />
<br />
After 19.1, [[User:gracechen|Grace Chen]] and [[User:Deej|Deirdre Cunniffe]] (the 19.1 and 20.1 quotebook keepers) created a [[Quotebook|page to upload the quotes of the quotebook]] for all to enjoy.<br />

==Session 1==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.1 Position Holders]]''<br />
===Jack Flash===<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is a First Session position. Their main duty is the organization and management of the stringers and breakdancers during songs such as James Brown is Dead, Sandstorm, etc. Jack Flash will always be a nomore glowsticker, preforming in the circle along with other glowstickers and breakdancers. Jack Flash is also charged with promoting and teaching [[glowsticking]] among the students. Lastly, Jack Flash will play the role of Jack Flash in the students' circle during [[American Pie]].<br />
<br />
The first Jack Flash was Wes McClung, who saw the need for the position and created it in 08.1, his nomore year. The position was passed down to J. T. Booth ("Mongoose") in the form of the orange glowstick used for American Pie during 2nd saturday dance in 08.1. The one used during the last dance exploded in a shower of pure CTY awesomeness.<br />
<br />
In 11.1, a very awesome and PLUR-tastic raver had to leave CTY mid-session and bequeathed upon then-Jack Flash Ajay Nadig a pair of chain raving nun-chuks. Made of precisely <s>44</s> 42 chain links each (the perfect length!), Ajay chose to pass these down as the new Jack Flash relic to Logan C. One of these was unfortunately lost during 14.1 when they were stolen to distract the Jack Flash from holding his Blammo spoon. The popular belief is that it was picked up by a sports camp participant. Spencer McClung made a much longer and heavier chain with 42 links as a substitute. Ariel Uy replaced the chain with a nearly identical one to the original.<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is apparently associated with hats. Glib Dolotov wore a red fedora in 13.1, which he popped off his head whenever he sat on a candlestick at dances. This was passed, and each Jack Flash has passed a different hat. Spencer passed his bear hat, Sara Nill passed a Cookie Monster baseball cap, and Ariel passed a JHU bluejays cap.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Lanyard Stack===<br />
<br />
The lanyard stack is a collection of many lanyards and name cards accumulated through the years since 2009. It is meant to represent collecting the memories of CTY over the years. According to Rudy Garcia, it was never actually meant to be passed down at Passionfruit but only as a low-key artifact, although passing at Passionfruit started in 14.1, when Thomas passed it to Steven along with a half gallon of bad [[Turkey Hill]] lemonade. The keeper is expected to add their lanyard from the previous year to the stack. It is rather cumbersome to wear, although most keepers wear it around their necks and with the lanyards braided in an effort to ease the burden. They are then unbraided for Passionfruit. Thomas would loop it around his shoulder. <br />
<br />
Holders of the Lanyards:<br />
<br />
*09.1: Elena Karras<br />
*10.1: Julian Weiss<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />
*12.1: Zoe Colbert<br />
*13.1: Zoe Colbert<br />
*14.1: Thomas Haines<br />
*15.1: Max Lee (when Steven Zhou did not return)<br />
*16.1: [[User:Leadtip|Matthew Li]]<br />
*17.1: Sarah Michelsen<br />
*18.1: [[User:ArugulaBannerji|Aradhana Bannerji]] (originally [[User:MSpencer|Maya Spencer]])<br />
*19.1: Jessica Fox<br />
*20.1: [[User:TeleportingPanda| Sam Naiman]]<br />
<br />
===Coconuts===<br />
<br />
Coconuts is a onemore position and typically goes to an individual with knowledge of traditions. Coconuts receives a pair of empty coconut shells covered in duct tape and leads the students for the [[Monk Walk]] during dinner on the last Wednesday. During Passionfruit, the Coconuts of the session usually comes up momentarily in order to pass on their item. The coconuts used to be a relic belonging to the Jester, along with the corresponding responsibilities, but became a separate position in 2010 when the current jester handed them (and the responsibility) to onemore Deena Alexander.<br />
*10.1: Deena Alexander<br />
*11.1: Sam Sagan<br />
*12.1: Benjamin Zweig<br />
*13.1: Lou Lindsay<br />
*14.1: [[User:Qatarina|Katrina Howard]]<br />
*15.1: Chloe Kekedjian<br />
*16.1: [[User:Jordantheg|Jordan Ginsburg]]<br />
*17.1: [[User: Brick|Oliver "Brick" Reinhardt]]<br />
*18.1: Jordyn Flaherty<br />
*19.1: Ava Lazar<br />
*20.1: Henry Goldschmidt<br />
<br />
===Secretkeeper===<br />
<br />
The Secretkeeper is Lancaster's only secret position. The identity of a Secretkeeper may only be revealed after that position holder's term has expired, and purely at their discretion, so naturally it is the least-known Lancaster position. Should the identity of a keeper be discovered prematurely, the discoverer shall become the new position holder immediately. Although the main duty of a Secretkeeper is to keep their identity classified, they are also expected to aid taxing positions such as the Blammo Gods or Jack Flash whenever possible. The position was created in 10.1 by Jessica Wyatt and was passed down to Lucy He for 11.1.<br /><br />
<br />
During 15.1, the Secretkeeper notebook was mysteriously found in the Alcove by RA Wes and later given to Asher Orner, apparently lost during the Monk Walk. Asher Orner presented the notebook at Passionfruit, but no one claimed it. Since the position holder has not revealed their identity for 2 years running, as is their prerogative, some assumed it to be dead. Asher Orner threw the book into the crowd. A Ctyanonymous post was made soon after by the 16.1 secret keeper, confirming that the position is still alive, and that they have a way to get the notebook back. However, no evidence of the position being alive has been seen since, which has been at least 3 years, it is still considered dead.<br />
<br />
Secretkeepers:<br />
<br />
* 10.1: Jessica Wyatt<br /> <br />
* 11.1: Lucy He<br /> <br />
* 12.1: [Undisclosed]<br /> <br />
* 13.1: Laura Sakon<br /><br />
* 14.1: [Undisclosed]<br /><br />
* 15.1: [Undisclosed]<br /><br />
* 16.1: [Undisclosed]<br />
* 17.1: [Undisclosed]<br />
* 18.1: [Undisclosed]<br />
* 19.1: ???<br />
* 20.1: ???<br />
<br />
===Cloak===<br />
<br />
The Cloak is a majestic article of black velvet. It is silver on the inside. A student who went by Vlad but whose real name was Brian wore this cloak every day without exception throughout 13.1. The cloak took on a distinct CTY smell. Vlad explained at Passionfruit that the cloak was given to him by his squirrel year roommate. He passed the cloak/cape to a onemore. The Cloak Bearer is not required to wear the cloak; they are simply required to own it. The third owner of the cloak, John Isaac Boland, said that the bearer should simply pick a thing to be and be it as much and as hard as possible.<br />
<br />
Cloak Bearers:<br />
*10.1: Evan Connors<br />
*11-13.1: Brian "Igor" DeRose<br />
*14.1: John Isaac Boland<br />
*15.1: Grace Drake<br />
*16.1: Sophia "Elphie" Hager<br />
*17.1: Alex Baxter<br />
*18.1: [[User:kerrycolf|Kerry Colford]] (when [[User:Mnemmxx|Misah Edwards]] could not return)<br />
*19.1: [[User:Julien Goodrich|Julien Goodrich]] (when [[User:Aleighyoung|Alex Young]] could not return)<br />
*20.1: Alex Rhoman<br />
<br />
===The Friend===<br />
<br />
The Friend is a position which was created by Brenton Whiting at Passionfruit 12.1 and given to then one-more, Anna Mehrabyan. It should be passed down from a nomore to a onemore. The idea of The Friend, as said by Brenton, is simply to be a friend. Someone to talk to or rely on. The Friend represents the friendships that form and kinship that exists between the wizards at CTY. This person is meant to personify these things and to be willing to be anyone's friend when they need one. The passed down item is a pair of rainbow suspenders, because like the Friend, they are whimsical and when the time comes will hold your pants up.<br />
The suspenders were stolen in 17.1, but Hudson got a new set for 18.1 which happened to come with a rainbow bow tie, so he will pass that down as well.<br />
<br />
Friends:<br />
* 12.1: Brenton Whiting (created position at Passionfruit)<br />
* 13.1: Hannah Mitlak (filled in for the absent [[User: Anulik96|Anna Mehrabyan]])<br />
* 14.1: Robby Feffer<br />
* 15.1: Dan Fu<br />
* 16.1: Brandon Lee<br />
* 17.1: Michael Corcione<br />
* 18.1: [[User:H double J|Hudson Jakubowicz]]<br />
* 19.1: [[User:Swolff24|Sylvie Wolff]]<br />
* 20.1: Daniella Tsang<br />
<br />
===Shots===<br />
<br />
During a game of Truth or Dare among COGN-A 13.1 students, [[User: cdonegan778|Ciara Donegan]] dared [[User:Andrewmoore|Andrew Moore]] and a few other classmates to drink bubble mix, not expecting anyone to actually do it. However, they did, and they repeated the stupidity every year following during the Thanksgiving Feast, a tradition started by [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]] in 14.1. In 15.1, Andrew bought shot glasses from the bookstore, so at the Thanksgiving Feast, he and other CTYers took shots of bubble mix. At Passionfruit, the shotglasses were used to take shots of SKL. Andrew, at the suggestion of the Trinity, then passed them to onemore [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]], officializing the item.<br />
<br />
The shot glass holders have a reputation for being slightly off their rockers.<br />
<br />
During 15.2, the stunt was repeated (carrying the tradition to session 2) along with the Thanksgiving feast by Andrew and other double-sessioners. Unexpectedly, large amounts of people decided to try a shot and the feast got rather out of hand. This caught the negative attention of DRL Will. At Passionfruit 15.2, the RAs attempted to suppress the passing of the position by preventing Andrew from speaking, but the item was passed down to Apurva afterwards anyway to Apurva Memani. However, the tradition did not continue at 16.2. The holder of the shot glasses, in addition to taking shots, organizes the Thanksgiving feast.<br />
<br />
At 16.1, Victoria led the CTYers in taking shots of a mixture of watermelon, watermelon juice, SKL, and cream soda. When a student suggested that the supreme watermelon overlord who sacrifices Carol should be a position, it was decided that the annual sacrifice of Carol the Watermelon should be forever continued. Rather than create a new position, the two current ringleaders of Carol and Thanksgiving decided to merge their duties and add the killing of Carol to the responsibilities of Shots in the future.<br />
<br />
After the fiasco at 15.2, admin declared that the ingestion of bubble mix was strictly forbidden. Shprinkles was reminded of this at the start of 16.1 with a stern warning. In light of the situation, the Thanksgiving Feast-goers took shots of lemon juice (as it was deemed to be similarly awful), SKL, and different combinations of the two. Admin was fine with this. <br />
<br />
At 18.1, [[User:SuperCrazyMonkey|Justin Su]] was unable to buy lemon juice, and instead brought a bottle of white vinegar to Thanksgiving. Everyone present took shots (some students watered theirs down), and the bottle was emptied. No students were harmed during this time.<br />
<br />
At 19.1, [[User:Xamuel| Sam Schulman]] brought a great amount of lemon juice to the session to prevent make sure vinegar shots never happened again. However, much to the unawareness of [[User:SophiaZR| Sophia Ribeiro]], [[User:AsianDonut| Matthew Maung]] drank all the lemon juice on his own before Thanksgiving. Therefore, the shots were done with Schnaderade, which had been made by Sophia during dinner and kept cool over an AC Unit until quad time. Despite it not tasting as awful as expected, this is not recommended. Please bring lemon juice and make sure nobody drinks it. Please.<br />
<br />

==Session 2==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.2 Position Holders]]''<br />
===King James===<br />
<br />
The position of King/Queen James is very similar to the position of Jack Flash. King James is a glowsticking position, that is bestowed on a glowsticker who embodies P.L.U.R., demonstrates their passion for glowsticking in their performance, and shares the artistry of glowsticking with the greater community whether through teaching or otherwise. They are more of a rallying point and encouraging, positive force in the glowsticking community as well as a leader. Even so, King James should ensure that the rave circle is always big enough to give everyone enough space to rave and ensure that two rave songs are played at each dance. This position was created in 2010 session 2 by [[User:Sqfnyc|Sam Fomon]]. During "[[James Brown is Dead]]" at the last dance of 10.2, instead of passing on her [[User:Sqfnyc#The James Brown Lives Jacket|James Brown Lives jacket]], she coronated Ryan Cebulko as King James I using a luminous crown she had fashioned from a plastic gold crown and EL-wire. This is to be the relic for King James, and each wearer of the crown should ideally add something shiny, flashy, and/or glow-y to the crown to make it even more seizure-inducing in the rave circle. King/Queen James is not necessarily given to a onemore, yet the recipient is encouraged to wear the crown for only one year and then pass it on in ceremony at the final "James Brown is Dead" of session. Jackie Liu made the crown anew, styled after the first, to guarantee its longevity and wearability, no matter whose cranium it cradles.<br />
<br />
King/Queen James:<br />
* 10.2: Sam Fomon<br />
* 11.2: Ryan Cebulko, King James I<br />
* 12.2: Jackie Liu, King James II<br />

* 17.2: Jason Chang, King James VI (when Miles Mikofsky did not return)<br />
* 18.2: Vijay Subramanian, King James VII<br />
* 19.2: [[User:C.skinnergrant|Ceci Skinner Grant]] and [[user:curiositykilledthekat|Kat Liang]] (unable to return), Co-King James VIII<br />
<br />
===Squirrel of the Year===<br />
<br />
''Example'' is a CD by a band called For Squirrels. It was discovered in the fall of 2006 by [[User: Mint Sharpie|Ariel Hyre]], who simply could not leave it where she found it. She brought it back to Lancaster in 07.2, her nomore year, with the intent of passing it on to a worthy squirrel who had the intention of returning. The disc is to be bestowed on a squirrel at Passionfruit of Second Session at Lancaster, one who has approached CTY with great energy and enthusiasm and who plans to return the following year. For this reason, this position is frequently referred to as Squirrel of the Year. Muskaan Garg, however, lost the CD. She redeemed herself by replacing the CD with a stuffed edamame toy as a play on words of the acronym for Squirrel of the Year, SOY. <br />

===Duct Tape Dress Wearer===<br />
<br />
The Duct Tape Dress was created by [[User:Yulia|Yulia Korovikov]] in Second Session of 2007. The dress is very shiny and of quite good quality, though it requires frequent repair. Yulia decided to pass down the dress at Passionfruit to Ellie Kladky, whom she, along with many others, felt deserved a special item and title for her nomore year. Ellie returned in 08.2 and treated the dress as a friendly gift rather than a weighty tradition, and so gave it to Lena Beckenstein after the Passionfruit was over to avoid the trend of making empty traditions. However, the dress managed to survive and continues to be passed down. In 09.2, when Dennis Cowan received the dress, there were some issues with getting it to fit. Because of this, the dress was remade with velcro down one side so as to be easier to put on and take off. In 14.2, when October Henley wore the dress, it was discovered that the velcro had been inside out for years, and had accumulated all of its adornments on the wrong side. It was refurbished right-side out, every major fixture transplanted to the new front. As of 15.2, the dress now sports pockets in an attempt both to make the dress easier to wear with regards to the joys of being able to place things in them (up to and including an entire roll of duct tape!), as well as to hopefully prevent another inside-out incident. <br />
The Duct Tape Dress has been associated with enthusiasm, whether it is for CTY culture, sketchiness, or just doing as the wearer pleases, no matter how off the beaten path it is, as well as the encouragement of such behavior in others. Since 13.2, it has begun to collect love tape every love tape day.<br />

===Kiwi Backpack===<br />
<br />
The Kiwi Backpack was first given as a kindergarten gift from a boy known by his nick name "Kiwi" to his best friend, Hang-Hang, who was nicknamed "Strawberry". Hang-Hang carried around the backpack for ten years and was rarely seen without it; it was almost an extra limb, both at home and when he came to CTY. At CTY, he met Dan Russotto, and at Passionfruit of session two, 2010, Hang-Hang passed it down to Dan, his willingness to part with the navy backpack with "KIWI" embroidered on the front the ultimate symbol friendship. The backpack continues to symbolize friendship imparted; in the words of Louie Brown, "Basically, [the backpack symbolizes] someone who is a friend, someone who will always have your back, who will always be there to talk with you when you're down, when you need a shoulder or a voice in your life." <br />
<br />

===Rascal===<br />
<br />
The Rascal, formerly known as the Pedobear, is a session two position started with Loren Sherman who first passed down a teddy bear and position Pedobear to Venya Mayakovsky. However the Bear was lost. In 2012, a bear hat was given to Nick Richardson by Gia Rigoli. Nick decided to pass down the bear hat in place of the actual bear. Their job is to promote sketchiness and help the Fiend. Moreover, the Rascal is an advocate of experimentation for themselves and others, and is someone to cuddle with or be sketchy with, as long as you're comfortable. <br />
Note: the Rascal and Chester Q. Carter are positions created in the same year, by the same person, carried out the next year by the same person, but are distinct entities and occur over different sessions.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Egg Parent===<br />
<br />
<p>The Egg Parent was originated at 15.2 by [[User:halloweenpants|Elliot Grant]]. The Egg Parent is the camper responsible for ensuring that session two's pride parade goes forward and ensuring that the Equality Egg is given new tape on Love Tape Day.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position itself was originated at 15.2, however, the artifact with which the position is passed down was created during 14.2, when Elliot was thrown into a popsickle stick crafting activity and created a giant egg out of duct tape and popsickle sticks. The egg was just that--an egg--until, during the first dance of 14.2, while Elliot and his friends were holding up the egg and chanting, a kid with a history of homophobia and sexism began to squeeze the egg, partially crushing it. Once the egg was repaired, it became known as the Equality Egg.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position came about after Elliot, with the help of Hanna Hildebolt, Rosemary Wonell, Colin Sackett, and others, and with special thanks to R.A. Viv, were able to bring back CTY Pride. The idea was sparked first by Skylar Karzhevsky. CTY Pride occurs on Love Tape Day and features slightly modified Afterdance chants, both versions of which are listed in the Nomorenomicon. The egg is meant to be passed down quietly immediately following the parade. However, Jessica Kuleshov, the second egg parent, passed it down to Ky during Passionfruit.</p><br />
<br />
Egg Parents:<br />
* 15.2: Elliot Grant<br />
* 16.2 Jessica Kuleshov<br />
* 17.2 Ky Lynch<br />
* 18.2 Archer Goodwyn<br />
* 19.2 Felix Brener<br />
* 20.2 Charlotte Price<br />
<br />
===Fanhammer===<br />
<p>The Fanhammer is a large hammer made from cardboard boxes wrapped neatly in grey duct tape, with a band of glow-in-the-dark duct tape wrapped around the base of the handle. It also has a duct-tape wrist loop at the end of the handle, which requires frequent repair. It is quite sturdy and is a viable weapon for bopping people with. The holder of the Fanhammer is a position usually given to a two-more, passed down very unofficially at some point near the end of the session or at passionfruit. The hammer was created by the hall of Max Franklin during 12.2, and the hammer was given to him to hold the following year, bearing the name "Mjolnir". Since then it has been customary for the holder of the Fanhammer to re-dub it with a name of their own choice. The holder of the hammer should carry it around during the session and use it to affectionately whack other CTYers. </p><br />

Hammer Holders:<br />
*12.2 Max Franklin, Chris Grossack, Theo Lipeles<br />

== Defunct Positions and Passed Items ==<br />
<br />
Some items or positions that have been passed down have not been revived or continued. Most of these positions are not likely to be brought up again. Here, they rest, until their records may be placed in a more proper location.<br />
<br />
===Satan (Session One)===<br />
<br />
Satan is still a part of the Session Two Pentinity, where it is now known as the Fiend. At Session One, the position of Satan died when Brenton Whiting failed to pass it down in 2012. It still informally exists, but only as an American Pie role any nomore/nevermore may sign up for.<br />
<br />
*01.1: Adam Roush<br />
*02.1: Gabe Slamovits<br />
*03.1: Jon Napolitano<br />
*04.1: Jeremy Berkowitz<br />
*05.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*06.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*07.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*08.1: Everett "Ev" Maus<br />
*09.1: Joe Lodin<br />
*10.1: James "Turtle" Buckland<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />
*12.1: Brenton Whiting<br />
<br />
===Panda===<br />
<br />
In 2013, Kayla (Dos) Ende passed her dearly beloved stuffed panda bear to Masha Zhdanova after Passionfruit. The holder of the Panda Bear (according to Masha) should be a low-key loving person. The Panda was passed for two years until Kayla expressed her desire to have it back, as she had not intended it to be anything official. The passing never occurred during Passionfruit but rather afterwards.<br />
<br />
*13.1: Kayla (Dos) Ende<br />
*14.1: Masha Zhdanova<br />
*15.1: Chris Ponsa Nazario<br />
<br />
===Chester Q. Carter===<br />
<br />
Chester Q. Carter, or CQC, was the nickname of Loren Sherman, whose nomore session was 11.2. Loren was jokingly known for his status as "pimp" among his friends. Venya Mayakovsky, double-sessioning in his final year of 2012, informally declared himself CQC of 12.1. He then began considering making it an actual position. Loren's girlfriend, Hannah (still at CTY), spoke with Loren over the phone, and he gave his consent to CQC becoming a position. Venya did not give a Passionfruit speech at session 1, so even the ceremony of passing the position down was incredibly informal, although in the grand scheme of things, it could really be thought of as almost a joke position, but a position nonetheless. The purpose of the position is, as said by Venya and his successor Peter, is to teach the importance of independence and staying true to yourself and your own personal happiness, although not necessarily in a selfish manner. (But everyone knows it's really about getting all of the biddies.) The passed down item is intended to be a top hat (Loren is known for wearing one), but the top hat has yet to be purchased by the current positionholder.<br />
<br />
CQC was apparently not passed<br />
<br />
CQCs:<br />
* 11.2: Loren Sherman<br />
* 12.1: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.1: Peter Suh<br />
<br />
===The Guide===<br />
<br />
After the end of session 1 2011, Sam Cawkwell had the idea of creating a guide to CTY for squirrels to help them integrate more easily into the student culture. The guide is co-written by many wizards, but always led by the person who holds the position of The Guide. The passed down item is the master copy of the Guide itself from the previous year. For example, Sam passed down the 2012 edition of the Guide to Hannah Barclay. Unfortunately, Hannah did not return in 13.1, and the Guide was quietly phased out. It was generally considered by some (I emphasize the ''some'') to be a useless addition to Lancaster's culture.<br />
<br />
*12.1: Sam Cawkwell<br />
*13.1: Hannah Barclay<br />
<br />
===The Pimp===<br />
<br />
The Pimp, or Master Pimp is a first session position. The duty of The Pimp is to use his/her insanely amazing sexiness to make other incredible CTYers feel loved, good about themselves, and unbearably sexy as well. The Pimp is often found in the center of pimp-lines and encourages other pimp-lines to form. S/he is a frequent giver of hugs and other public displays of affection. <br />
<br />
Monogamy is not unheard of in the polygamous lifestyle of The Pimp, although it usually occurs toward the end of the session. The Pimp must keep in mind however, that loving one person more does not mean they have to love the rest of CTY less. If the Pimp is fortunate enough to form a relationship with an understanding and not particularly territorial CTYer, then he/she need not cease whoring off of everyone else. The Pimp should be a rather out-going CTYer who is loving, caring, and sexy beyond reason.<br />
<br />
The role of the Pimp is a far less pronounced roles than the roles of most other Lancastrian positions. The position, in fact, is not even passed down during CTY, but is given a less official transfer via direct communication between past and present Pimps.<br />
<br />
Pimps:<br />
* 07.1: Aaron Ladd<br />
* 08.1: [[User: PathologicalLiar|Kate Wymbs]] (Ev Maus may have also done some pimping during 08.1; however, it was not official)<br />
<br />
===Bitch Bra===<br />
<br />
This article of clothing is a strapless, hot pink bra with seven claps. During Session 2 of 2007, this bra was forfeited/passed on to [[user:maggieanne|Maggie Farrell]], as a twomore, by Nixxi Chen. The receiver of this bra is someone who is known as a 'bitch' because she speaks her mind. She also knows her way around inducing pain throughout a male's genitalia (just kidding...or am I?). <br />
<br />
For purposes of making it CTYA, the significance behind this bra, asides from being the ruling Queen Bitch, is that the wearer knows how to make fun of themselves and not take things too seriously. However when her friends need her she's always the shoulder to cry on.<br />
<br />
* 2007: Nixxi Chen<br />
* 2008-2009: Maggie Farrell<br />
<br />
===Jay and Silent Bob===<br />
<br />
Jay and Silent Bob is a new tradition that may or may not be revived as seen fit. It all started on Halloween at CTY Lancaster Session 2 2006 when Cristina D'Ancona dressed up as Jay from the movies "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Dogma" and others. Immediately, her friend Peter Treadway caught the reference and changed his costume (originally it had been "emo") by borrowing a bathrobe and a hat and drawing a beard on his face with sharpie to represent Jay's infamous partner, Silent Bob. Jay and Silent Bob proceeded to terrorize the campus with their antics, their place in CTY history carved in stone.<br />
<br />
The Jay and Silent Bob tradition is unique in that it CANNOT be passed on to the next generation of CTYers by the current Jay and Silent Bob. Anyone who wishes to continue the tradition only needs to don the costume, and play the part.<br />
<br />
===Risk Board===<br />
<br />
At Passionfruit of LAN 06.2, Greg Lawrence passed his Risk board which he'd used in previous years down to Vishal Mehta. The Board had been modified in Sharpie, changing the names of the oceans to various geographic locations at Franklin and Marshall, and the names of the continents to types of [[courses]] and groups of wizards. The idea behind it was that each bearer of the Board would cross out a territory's name and rename it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Vishal chose not to return to CTY in 2007. Instead, he chose to go to some medical study in California. As such, the Board is currently discontinued, and extremely unlikely to come back again.<br />
<br />
===Hammertime===<br />
<br />
The Hammertime has several definitions:<br />
<br />
# The official time zone of CTY Lancaster Session 2, especially during [[Silent Football]], but still applicable elsewhere.<br />
# The time on the watch of [[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]], which may or may not correspond with CTY time.<br />
# The time on the watch of the person wearing the Hammertime mood ring.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Jeff has lost the mood ring, which he had planned on passing down to the next Keeper of the Hammertime.<br />
<br />
Relatedly, during opening ceremonies at LAN.09.2, Matt the DRL declared, "CTY time is 7:21 p.m." supposedly neglecting to include the word "currently." This led many to respond throughout the session to the question, "What time is it?" with "7:21 p.m." along with the occasional "Hammertime," and also [un]officially established the time (in addition to the time zone) of Lancaster Session 2 as 7:21 p.m., Hammertime.<br />
<br />
====Origin of the Hammertime====<br />
<br />
Hammertime was created during a game of Silent Football during LAN.05.2, some time after music was declared existant within the universe.<br />
<br />
During this game, MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" was being played from a Kunkel balcony. The universe was dancing happily. Suddenly, <b>horror of unspeakable horrors</b>, a player wanted to know what time it was! Said player raised said player's hand and made said player's query, stating, "Mr. Dictator, what is the current time?" to which Mr. Dictator <br />
(Shea Levy) replied, "It is the Hammertime." To which the ever-curious player replied, "What is the current hammertime?" A certain player, [[User:Jeff Sachs|Dr. Strangelove or: Etymologies SUCKS]], was then called on and said, "Mr. Dictator, the current Hammertime is X:YZ." The term Hammertime was used repeatedly to ask this question, and the same player always had the answer. That player then made a request, saying, "Mr. Dictator I motion that the official time zone of the Universe be the Hammertime!" This motion was granted and has been enstated ever since.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Lancaster]] has the most [[student positions]] of any site, due to being one of the most tradition heavy. This is not a complete list of all positions, only those not accorded their own page. For a list of all Lancaster positions, see [[Student position#Lancaster|Lancaster Positions]].<br />
<br />
If a position appears to be missing, it may have been moved to the [[Memories:LAN|Lancaster Memories]] page. Once a position has lasted for over five years- long enough that everyone originally around during its creation has aged out- it may be considered for a move to this page. This pruning is due to the [[shameless egotism]] that has sprung up over the last decade regarding positions.<br />

<br />
==Both Sessions==<br />
<br />
===Quotebook===<br />
<br />
Quotebook spans both sessions. The duties of the person who holds the quotebook are to record funny, inspirational, or just plain weird things that are said at LAN in his or her quotebook, and then publish them for all to see on the internet after CTY. When a holder of the quotebook nomores or nevermores out, their quotebook will be passed down to someone who is coming back the next year and is willing to carry the duties out.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook was passed down at Passionfruit for the first time at 13.2 but may be passed through whatever method is most convenient to the outgoing quotekeeper.<br />
<br />
It began in 08.1, when two year tragedy [[User:Kokomo|Zoe M.]] noticed the multitude of quotable sayings being said wherever she went in Lancaster. Due to the lack of computers and her bad memory, she forgot most of them. Therefore, a quotebook made of notebook paper was created and decorated. It filled up within three days, as well as started to fall apart. A new, sturdy, 80 page mini notebook was bought and decorated. 250 quotes were collected in 08.1, and about 550 were collected the next year. At the end of the session, quotebooks were passed to twomore Marnie P. of second session and onemore Vira Shao of first session. Due to some necessary position switching, is unknown if second session will continue to have a book.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook has proven tricky to keep continuous between sessions, as in 11.1 when there was no Quotebook until the second week when it was realized that there was no Quotekeeping being done. Even if there is no strictly passed-down Quotebook, it is true that wherever there are CTYers, funny things being said, and notebooks for sale, there will be a quotebook<br />
<br />
All quotebooks should in theory be transcribed on the userpages of the quotekeepers.<br />
<br />
After 14.2, [[User:dihalikias|Diana Halikias]] and Sam Mauro (the 15.2 quotebook keeper) created a tumblr for Lancaster Session 2's quotes. It can be found at http://lancasterquotebook.tumblr.com/<br />
<br />
Daniel Rock kept quotes on a sheet of looseleaf paper. His successor purchased a lovely leatherbound unlined notebook to keep quotes in. Many recent Quotebook keepers take submissions before Last Supper (when quotes are read). A good place to hear funny quips and quotations is Acting Improv, where many Keepers go for inspiration. <br />
<br />
After 19.1, [[User:gracechen|Grace Chen]] and [[User:Deej|Deirdre Cunniffe]] (the 19.1 and 20.1 quotebook keepers) created a [[Quotebook|page to upload the quotes of the quotebook]] for all to enjoy.<br />

==Session 1==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.1 Position Holders]]''<br />
===Jack Flash===<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is a First Session position. Their main duty is the organization and management of the stringers and breakdancers during songs such as James Brown is Dead, Sandstorm, etc. Jack Flash will always be a nomore glowsticker, preforming in the circle along with other glowstickers and breakdancers. Jack Flash is also charged with promoting and teaching [[glowsticking]] among the students. Lastly, Jack Flash will play the role of Jack Flash in the students' circle during [[American Pie]].<br />
<br />
The first Jack Flash was Wes McClung, who saw the need for the position and created it in 08.1, his nomore year. The position was passed down to J. T. Booth ("Mongoose") in the form of the orange glowstick used for American Pie during 2nd saturday dance in 08.1. The one used during the last dance exploded in a shower of pure CTY awesomeness.<br />
<br />
In 11.1, a very awesome and PLUR-tastic raver had to leave CTY mid-session and bequeathed upon then-Jack Flash Ajay Nadig a pair of chain raving nun-chuks. Made of precisely <s>44</s> 42 chain links each (the perfect length!), Ajay chose to pass these down as the new Jack Flash relic to Logan C. One of these was unfortunately lost during 14.1 when they were stolen to distract the Jack Flash from holding his Blammo spoon. The popular belief is that it was picked up by a sports camp participant. Spencer McClung made a much longer and heavier chain with 42 links as a substitute. Ariel Uy replaced the chain with a nearly identical one to the original.<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is apparently associated with hats. Glib Dolotov wore a red fedora in 13.1, which he popped off his head whenever he sat on a candlestick at dances. This was passed, and each Jack Flash has passed a different hat. Spencer passed his bear hat, Sara Nill passed a Cookie Monster baseball cap, and Ariel passed a JHU bluejays cap.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Lanyard Stack===<br />
<br />
The lanyard stack is a collection of many lanyards and name cards accumulated through the years since 2009. It is meant to represent collecting the memories of CTY over the years. According to Rudy Garcia, it was never actually meant to be passed down at Passionfruit but only as a low-key artifact, although passing at Passionfruit started in 14.1, when Thomas passed it to Steven along with a half gallon of bad [[Turkey Hill]] lemonade. The keeper is expected to add their lanyard from the previous year to the stack. It is rather cumbersome to wear, although most keepers wear it around their necks and with the lanyards braided in an effort to ease the burden. They are then unbraided for Passionfruit. Thomas would loop it around his shoulder. <br />
<br />
Holders of the Lanyards:<br />
<br />
*09.1: Elena Karras<br />
*10.1: Julian Weiss<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />
*12.1: Zoe Colbert<br />
*13.1: Zoe Colbert<br />
*14.1: Thomas Haines<br />

*19.1: Jessica Fox<br />
*20.1: [[User:TeleportingPanda| Sam Naiman]]<br />
<br />
===Coconuts===<br />
<br />
Coconuts is a onemore position and typically goes to an individual with knowledge of traditions. Coconuts receives a pair of empty coconut shells covered in duct tape and leads the students for the [[Monk Walk]] during dinner on the last Wednesday. During Passionfruit, the Coconuts of the session usually comes up momentarily in order to pass on their item. The coconuts used to be a relic belonging to the Jester, along with the corresponding responsibilities, but became a separate position in 2010 when the current jester handed them (and the responsibility) to onemore Deena Alexander.<br />
*10.1: Deena Alexander<br />
*11.1: Sam Sagan<br />
*12.1: Benjamin Zweig<br />
*13.1: Lou Lindsay<br />
*14.1: [[User:Qatarina|Katrina Howard]]<br />

*18.1: Jordyn Flaherty<br />
*19.1: Ava Lazar<br />
*20.1: Henry Goldschmidt<br />
<br />
===Secretkeeper===<br />
<br />
The Secretkeeper is Lancaster's only secret position. The identity of a Secretkeeper may only be revealed after that position holder's term has expired, and purely at their discretion, so naturally it is the least-known Lancaster position. Should the identity of a keeper be discovered prematurely, the discoverer shall become the new position holder immediately. Although the main duty of a Secretkeeper is to keep their identity classified, they are also expected to aid taxing positions such as the Blammo Gods or Jack Flash whenever possible. The position was created in 10.1 by Jessica Wyatt and was passed down to Lucy He for 11.1.<br /><br />
<br />
During 15.1, the Secretkeeper notebook was mysteriously found in the Alcove by RA Wes and later given to Asher Orner, apparently lost during the Monk Walk. Asher Orner presented the notebook at Passionfruit, but no one claimed it. Since the position holder has not revealed their identity for 2 years running, as is their prerogative, some assumed it to be dead. Asher Orner threw the book into the crowd. A Ctyanonymous post was made soon after by the 16.1 secret keeper, confirming that the position is still alive, and that they have a way to get the notebook back. However, no evidence of the position being alive has been seen since, which has been at least 3 years, it is still considered dead.<br />

===Cloak===<br />
<br />
The Cloak is a majestic article of black velvet. It is silver on the inside. A student who went by Vlad but whose real name was Brian wore this cloak every day without exception throughout 13.1. The cloak took on a distinct CTY smell. Vlad explained at Passionfruit that the cloak was given to him by his squirrel year roommate. He passed the cloak/cape to a onemore. The Cloak Bearer is not required to wear the cloak; they are simply required to own it. The third owner of the cloak, John Isaac Boland, said that the bearer should simply pick a thing to be and be it as much and as hard as possible.<br />

<br />
===The Friend===<br />
<br />
The Friend is a position which was created by Brenton Whiting at Passionfruit 12.1 and given to then one-more, Anna Mehrabyan. It should be passed down from a nomore to a onemore. The idea of The Friend, as said by Brenton, is simply to be a friend. Someone to talk to or rely on. The Friend represents the friendships that form and kinship that exists between the wizards at CTY. This person is meant to personify these things and to be willing to be anyone's friend when they need one. The passed down item is a pair of rainbow suspenders, because like the Friend, they are whimsical and when the time comes will hold your pants up.<br />
The suspenders were stolen in 17.1, but Hudson got a new set for 18.1 which happened to come with a rainbow bow tie, so he will pass that down as well.<br />
<br />
Friends:<br />
* 12.1: Brenton Whiting (created position at Passionfruit)<br />
* 13.1: Hannah Mitlak (filled in for the absent [[User: Anulik96|Anna Mehrabyan]])<br />

===Shots===<br />
<br />
During a game of Truth or Dare among COGN-A 13.1 students, [[User: cdonegan778|Ciara Donegan]] dared [[User:Andrewmoore|Andrew Moore]] and a few other classmates to drink bubble mix, not expecting anyone to actually do it. However, they did, and they repeated the stupidity every year following during the Thanksgiving Feast, a tradition started by [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]] in 14.1. In 15.1, Andrew bought shot glasses from the bookstore, so at the Thanksgiving Feast, he and other CTYers took shots of bubble mix. At Passionfruit, the shotglasses were used to take shots of SKL. Andrew, at the suggestion of the Trinity, then passed them to onemore [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]], officializing the item.<br />
<br />
The shot glass holders have a reputation for being slightly off their rockers.<br />
<br />
During 15.2, the stunt was repeated (carrying the tradition to session 2) along with the Thanksgiving feast by Andrew and other double-sessioners. Unexpectedly, large amounts of people decided to try a shot and the feast got rather out of hand. This caught the negative attention of DRL Will. At Passionfruit 15.2, the RAs attempted to suppress the passing of the position by preventing Andrew from speaking, but the item was passed down to Apurva afterwards anyway to Apurva Memani. However, the tradition did not continue at 16.2. The holder of the shot glasses, in addition to taking shots, organizes the Thanksgiving feast.<br />
<br />
At 16.1, Victoria led the CTYers in taking shots of a mixture of watermelon, watermelon juice, SKL, and cream soda. When a student suggested that the supreme watermelon overlord who sacrifices Carol should be a position, it was decided that the annual sacrifice of Carol the Watermelon should be forever continued. Rather than create a new position, the two current ringleaders of Carol and Thanksgiving decided to merge their duties and add the killing of Carol to the responsibilities of Shots in the future.<br />
<br />
After the fiasco at 15.2, admin declared that the ingestion of bubble mix was strictly forbidden. Shprinkles was reminded of this at the start of 16.1 with a stern warning. In light of the situation, the Thanksgiving Feast-goers took shots of lemon juice (as it was deemed to be similarly awful), SKL, and different combinations of the two. Admin was fine with this. <br />
<br />
At 18.1, [[User:SuperCrazyMonkey|Justin Su]] was unable to buy lemon juice, and instead brought a bottle of white vinegar to Thanksgiving. Everyone present took shots (some students watered theirs down), and the bottle was emptied. No students were harmed during this time.<br />
<br />
At 19.1, [[User:Xamuel| Sam Schulman]] brought a great amount of lemon juice to the session to prevent make sure vinegar shots never happened again. However, much to the unawareness of [[User:SophiaZR| Sophia Ribeiro]], [[User:AsianDonut| Matthew Maung]] drank all the lemon juice on his own before Thanksgiving. Therefore, the shots were done with Schnaderade, which had been made by Sophia during dinner and kept cool over an AC Unit until quad time. Despite it not tasting as awful as expected, this is not recommended. Please bring lemon juice and make sure nobody drinks it. Please.<br />
<br />
Session 1:<br />
*15.1: [[User:Andrewmoore|Andrew Moore]]<br />

==Session 2==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.2 Position Holders]]''<br />
===King James===<br />
<br />
The position of King/Queen James is very similar to the position of Jack Flash. King James is a glowsticking position, that is bestowed on a glowsticker who embodies P.L.U.R., demonstrates their passion for glowsticking in their performance, and shares the artistry of glowsticking with the greater community whether through teaching or otherwise. They are more of a rallying point and encouraging, positive force in the glowsticking community as well as a leader. Even so, King James should ensure that the rave circle is always big enough to give everyone enough space to rave and ensure that two rave songs are played at each dance. This position was created in 2010 session 2 by [[User:Sqfnyc|Sam Fomon]]. During "[[James Brown is Dead]]" at the last dance of 10.2, instead of passing on her [[User:Sqfnyc#The James Brown Lives Jacket|James Brown Lives jacket]], she coronated Ryan Cebulko as King James I using a luminous crown she had fashioned from a plastic gold crown and EL-wire. This is to be the relic for King James, and each wearer of the crown should ideally add something shiny, flashy, and/or glow-y to the crown to make it even more seizure-inducing in the rave circle. King/Queen James is not necessarily given to a onemore, yet the recipient is encouraged to wear the crown for only one year and then pass it on in ceremony at the final "James Brown is Dead" of session. Jackie Liu made the crown anew, styled after the first, to guarantee its longevity and wearability, no matter whose cranium it cradles.<br />
<br />
King/Queen James:<br />
* 10.2: Sam Fomon<br />
* 11.2: Ryan Cebulko, King James I<br />

* 17.2: Jason Chang, King James VI (when Miles Mikofsky did not return)<br />
* 18.2: Vijay Subramanian, King James VII<br />
* 19.2: [[User:C.skinnergrant|Ceci Skinner Grant]] and [[user:curiositykilledthekat|Kat Liang]] (unable to return), Co-King James VIII<br />
<br />
===Squirrel of the Year===<br />
<br />
''Example'' is a CD by a band called For Squirrels. It was discovered in the fall of 2006 by [[User: Mint Sharpie|Ariel Hyre]], who simply could not leave it where she found it. She brought it back to Lancaster in 07.2, her nomore year, with the intent of passing it on to a worthy squirrel who had the intention of returning. The disc is to be bestowed on a squirrel at Passionfruit of Second Session at Lancaster, one who has approached CTY with great energy and enthusiasm and who plans to return the following year. For this reason, this position is frequently referred to as Squirrel of the Year. Muskaan Garg, however, lost the CD. She redeemed herself by replacing the CD with a stuffed edamame toy as a play on words of the acronym for Squirrel of the Year, SOY. <br />

===Duct Tape Dress Wearer===<br />
<br />
The Duct Tape Dress was created by [[User:Yulia|Yulia Korovikov]] in Second Session of 2007. The dress is very shiny and of quite good quality, though it requires frequent repair. Yulia decided to pass down the dress at Passionfruit to Ellie Kladky, whom she, along with many others, felt deserved a special item and title for her nomore year. Ellie returned in 08.2 and treated the dress as a friendly gift rather than a weighty tradition, and so gave it to Lena Beckenstein after the Passionfruit was over to avoid the trend of making empty traditions. However, the dress managed to survive and continues to be passed down. In 09.2, when Dennis Cowan received the dress, there were some issues with getting it to fit. Because of this, the dress was remade with velcro down one side so as to be easier to put on and take off. In 14.2, when October Henley wore the dress, it was discovered that the velcro had been inside out for years, and had accumulated all of its adornments on the wrong side. It was refurbished right-side out, every major fixture transplanted to the new front. As of 15.2, the dress now sports pockets in an attempt both to make the dress easier to wear with regards to the joys of being able to place things in them (up to and including an entire roll of duct tape!), as well as to hopefully prevent another inside-out incident. <br />
The Duct Tape Dress has been associated with enthusiasm, whether it is for CTY culture, sketchiness, or just doing as the wearer pleases, no matter how off the beaten path it is, as well as the encouragement of such behavior in others. Since 13.2, it has begun to collect love tape every love tape day.<br />

===Kiwi Backpack===<br />
<br />
The Kiwi Backpack was first given as a kindergarten gift from a boy known by his nick name "Kiwi" to his best friend, Hang-Hang, who was nicknamed "Strawberry". Hang-Hang carried around the backpack for ten years and was rarely seen without it; it was almost an extra limb, both at home and when he came to CTY. At CTY, he met Dan Russotto, and at Passionfruit of session two, 2010, Hang-Hang passed it down to Dan, his willingness to part with the navy backpack with "KIWI" embroidered on the front the ultimate symbol friendship. The backpack continues to symbolize friendship imparted; in the words of Louie Brown, "Basically, [the backpack symbolizes] someone who is a friend, someone who will always have your back, who will always be there to talk with you when you're down, when you need a shoulder or a voice in your life." <br />
<br />
Holders of the Kiwi Backpack:<br />
*10.2: Hang-Hang<br />
*11.2: [[User: AqueousFire|Dan Russotto]]<br />

*17.2: Alex Burnside<br />
*18.2: Claire Davis<br />
*19.2: Alexandra Mendelsohn<br />
<br />
===Rascal===<br />
<br />
The Rascal, formerly known as the Pedobear, is a session two position started with Loren Sherman who first passed down a teddy bear and position Pedobear to Venya Mayakovsky. However the Bear was lost. In 2012, a bear hat was given to Nick Richardson by Gia Rigoli. Nick decided to pass down the bear hat in place of the actual bear. Their job is to promote sketchiness and help the Fiend. Moreover, the Rascal is an advocate of experimentation for themselves and others, and is someone to cuddle with or be sketchy with, as long as you're comfortable. <br />
Note: the Rascal and Chester Q. Carter are positions created in the same year, by the same person, carried out the next year by the same person, but are distinct entities and occur over different sessions.<br />
<br />
Rascals:<br />
* 12.2: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.2: Nick Richardson<br />
* 14.2: Andrea Tsao<br />
* 15.2: Mona Lee<br />
* 16.2: Claire Medina<br />
* 17.2: Gloria Herman<br />
* 18.2: Rene Itah<br />
* 19.2: Maira Carloni<br />
<br />
===Egg Parent===<br />
<br />
<p>The Egg Parent was originated at 15.2 by [[User:halloweenpants|Elliot Grant]]. The Egg Parent is the camper responsible for ensuring that session two's pride parade goes forward and ensuring that the Equality Egg is given new tape on Love Tape Day.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position itself was originated at 15.2, however, the artifact with which the position is passed down was created during 14.2, when Elliot was thrown into a popsickle stick crafting activity and created a giant egg out of duct tape and popsickle sticks. The egg was just that--an egg--until, during the first dance of 14.2, while Elliot and his friends were holding up the egg and chanting, a kid with a history of homophobia and sexism began to squeeze the egg, partially crushing it. Once the egg was repaired, it became known as the Equality Egg.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position came about after Elliot, with the help of Hanna Hildebolt, Rosemary Wonell, Colin Sackett, and others, and with special thanks to R.A. Viv, were able to bring back CTY Pride. The idea was sparked first by Skylar Karzhevsky. CTY Pride occurs on Love Tape Day and features slightly modified Afterdance chants, both versions of which are listed in the Nomorenomicon. The egg is meant to be passed down quietly immediately following the parade. However, Jessica Kuleshov, the second egg parent, passed it down to Ky during Passionfruit.</p><br />
<br />
Egg Parents:<br />
* 15.2: Elliot Grant<br />
* 16.2 Jessica Kuleshov<br />
* 17.2 Ky Lynch<br />
* 18.2 Archer Goodwyn<br />
* 19.2 Felix Brener<br />
* 20.2 Charlotte Price<br />
<br />
===Fanhammer===<br />
<p>The Fanhammer is a large hammer made from cardboard boxes wrapped neatly in grey duct tape, with a band of glow-in-the-dark duct tape wrapped around the base of the handle. It also has a duct-tape wrist loop at the end of the handle, which requires frequent repair. It is quite sturdy and is a viable weapon for bopping people with. The holder of the Fanhammer is a position usually given to a two-more, passed down very unofficially at some point near the end of the session or at passionfruit. The hammer was created by the hall of Max Franklin during 12.2, and the hammer was given to him to hold the following year, bearing the name "Mjolnir". Since then it has been customary for the holder of the Fanhammer to re-dub it with a name of their own choice. The holder of the hammer should carry it around during the session and use it to affectionately whack other CTYers. </p><br />
<br />
Hammer Holders:<br />
*12.2 Max Franklin, Chris Grossack, Theo Lipeles<br />
*13.2 Max Franklin<br />
*14.2 Milan Roberson<br />
*15.2 Sophia Hager<br />
*16.2 Annie Gleiberman (When Savannah Parrot could not return)<br />

== Defunct Positions and Passed Items ==<br />
<br />
Some items or positions that have been passed down have not been revived or continued. Most of these positions are not likely to be brought up again. Here, they rest, until their records may be placed in a more proper location.<br />
<br />
===Satan (Session One)===<br />
<br />
Satan is still a part of the Session Two Pentinity, where it is now known as the Fiend. At Session One, the position of Satan died when Brenton Whiting failed to pass it down in 2012. It still informally exists, but only as an American Pie role any nomore/nevermore may sign up for.<br />
<br />
*01.1: Adam Roush<br />
*02.1: Gabe Slamovits<br />
*03.1: Jon Napolitano<br />
*04.1: Jeremy Berkowitz<br />
*05.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*06.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*07.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*08.1: Everett "Ev" Maus<br />
*09.1: Joe Lodin<br />
*10.1: James "Turtle" Buckland<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />
*12.1: Brenton Whiting<br />
<br />
===Panda===<br />
<br />
In 2013, Kayla (Dos) Ende passed her dearly beloved stuffed panda bear to Masha Zhdanova after Passionfruit. The holder of the Panda Bear (according to Masha) should be a low-key loving person. The Panda was passed for two years until Kayla expressed her desire to have it back, as she had not intended it to be anything official. The passing never occurred during Passionfruit but rather afterwards.<br />
<br />
*13.1: Kayla (Dos) Ende<br />
*14.1: Masha Zhdanova<br />
*15.1: Chris Ponsa Nazario<br />
<br />
===Chester Q. Carter===<br />
<br />
Chester Q. Carter, or CQC, was the nickname of Loren Sherman, whose nomore session was 11.2. Loren was jokingly known for his status as "pimp" among his friends. Venya Mayakovsky, double-sessioning in his final year of 2012, informally declared himself CQC of 12.1. He then began considering making it an actual position. Loren's girlfriend, Hannah (still at CTY), spoke with Loren over the phone, and he gave his consent to CQC becoming a position. Venya did not give a Passionfruit speech at session 1, so even the ceremony of passing the position down was incredibly informal, although in the grand scheme of things, it could really be thought of as almost a joke position, but a position nonetheless. The purpose of the position is, as said by Venya and his successor Peter, is to teach the importance of independence and staying true to yourself and your own personal happiness, although not necessarily in a selfish manner. (But everyone knows it's really about getting all of the biddies.) The passed down item is intended to be a top hat (Loren is known for wearing one), but the top hat has yet to be purchased by the current positionholder.<br />
<br />
CQC was apparently not passed<br />
<br />
CQCs:<br />
* 11.2: Loren Sherman<br />
* 12.1: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.1: Peter Suh<br />
<br />
===The Guide===<br />
<br />
After the end of session 1 2011, Sam Cawkwell had the idea of creating a guide to CTY for squirrels to help them integrate more easily into the student culture. The guide is co-written by many wizards, but always led by the person who holds the position of The Guide. The passed down item is the master copy of the Guide itself from the previous year. For example, Sam passed down the 2012 edition of the Guide to Hannah Barclay. Unfortunately, Hannah did not return in 13.1, and the Guide was quietly phased out. It was generally considered by some (I emphasize the ''some'') to be a useless addition to Lancaster's culture.<br />
<br />
*12.1: Sam Cawkwell<br />
*13.1: Hannah Barclay<br />
<br />
===The Pimp===<br />
<br />
The Pimp, or Master Pimp is a first session position. The duty of The Pimp is to use his/her insanely amazing sexiness to make other incredible CTYers feel loved, good about themselves, and unbearably sexy as well. The Pimp is often found in the center of pimp-lines and encourages other pimp-lines to form. S/he is a frequent giver of hugs and other public displays of affection. <br />
<br />
Monogamy is not unheard of in the polygamous lifestyle of The Pimp, although it usually occurs toward the end of the session. The Pimp must keep in mind however, that loving one person more does not mean they have to love the rest of CTY less. If the Pimp is fortunate enough to form a relationship with an understanding and not particularly territorial CTYer, then he/she need not cease whoring off of everyone else. The Pimp should be a rather out-going CTYer who is loving, caring, and sexy beyond reason.<br />
<br />
The role of the Pimp is a far less pronounced roles than the roles of most other Lancastrian positions. The position, in fact, is not even passed down during CTY, but is given a less official transfer via direct communication between past and present Pimps.<br />
<br />
Pimps:<br />
* 07.1: Aaron Ladd<br />
* 08.1: [[User: PathologicalLiar|Kate Wymbs]] (Ev Maus may have also done some pimping during 08.1; however, it was not official)<br />
<br />
===Bitch Bra===<br />
<br />
This article of clothing is a strapless, hot pink bra with seven claps. During Session 2 of 2007, this bra was forfeited/passed on to [[user:maggieanne|Maggie Farrell]], as a twomore, by Nixxi Chen. The receiver of this bra is someone who is known as a 'bitch' because she speaks her mind. She also knows her way around inducing pain throughout a male's genitalia (just kidding...or am I?). <br />
<br />
For purposes of making it CTYA, the significance behind this bra, asides from being the ruling Queen Bitch, is that the wearer knows how to make fun of themselves and not take things too seriously. However when her friends need her she's always the shoulder to cry on.<br />
<br />
* 2007: Nixxi Chen<br />
* 2008-2009: Maggie Farrell<br />
<br />
===Jay and Silent Bob===<br />
<br />
Jay and Silent Bob is a new tradition that may or may not be revived as seen fit. It all started on Halloween at CTY Lancaster Session 2 2006 when Cristina D'Ancona dressed up as Jay from the movies "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Dogma" and others. Immediately, her friend Peter Treadway caught the reference and changed his costume (originally it had been "emo") by borrowing a bathrobe and a hat and drawing a beard on his face with sharpie to represent Jay's infamous partner, Silent Bob. Jay and Silent Bob proceeded to terrorize the campus with their antics, their place in CTY history carved in stone.<br />
<br />
The Jay and Silent Bob tradition is unique in that it CANNOT be passed on to the next generation of CTYers by the current Jay and Silent Bob. Anyone who wishes to continue the tradition only needs to don the costume, and play the part.<br />
<br />
===Risk Board===<br />
<br />
At Passionfruit of LAN 06.2, Greg Lawrence passed his Risk board which he'd used in previous years down to Vishal Mehta. The Board had been modified in Sharpie, changing the names of the oceans to various geographic locations at Franklin and Marshall, and the names of the continents to types of [[courses]] and groups of wizards. The idea behind it was that each bearer of the Board would cross out a territory's name and rename it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Vishal chose not to return to CTY in 2007. Instead, he chose to go to some medical study in California. As such, the Board is currently discontinued, and extremely unlikely to come back again.<br />
<br />
===Hammertime===<br />
<br />
The Hammertime has several definitions:<br />
<br />
# The official time zone of CTY Lancaster Session 2, especially during [[Silent Football]], but still applicable elsewhere.<br />
# The time on the watch of [[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]], which may or may not correspond with CTY time.<br />
# The time on the watch of the person wearing the Hammertime mood ring.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Jeff has lost the mood ring, which he had planned on passing down to the next Keeper of the Hammertime.<br />
<br />
Relatedly, during opening ceremonies at LAN.09.2, Matt the DRL declared, "CTY time is 7:21 p.m." supposedly neglecting to include the word "currently." This led many to respond throughout the session to the question, "What time is it?" with "7:21 p.m." along with the occasional "Hammertime," and also [un]officially established the time (in addition to the time zone) of Lancaster Session 2 as 7:21 p.m., Hammertime.<br />
<br />
====Origin of the Hammertime====<br />
<br />
Hammertime was created during a game of Silent Football during LAN.05.2, some time after music was declared existant within the universe.<br />
<br />
During this game, MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" was being played from a Kunkel balcony. The universe was dancing happily. Suddenly, <b>horror of unspeakable horrors</b>, a player wanted to know what time it was! Said player raised said player's hand and made said player's query, stating, "Mr. Dictator, what is the current time?" to which Mr. Dictator <br />
(Shea Levy) replied, "It is the Hammertime." To which the ever-curious player replied, "What is the current hammertime?" A certain player, [[User:Jeff Sachs|Dr. Strangelove or: Etymologies SUCKS]], was then called on and said, "Mr. Dictator, the current Hammertime is X:YZ." The term Hammertime was used repeatedly to ask this question, and the same player always had the answer. That player then made a request, saying, "Mr. Dictator I motion that the official time zone of the Universe be the Hammertime!" This motion was granted and has been enstated ever since.<br />
<br />
===Anglerfish===<br />
<br />
The Anglerfish is a flamboyant sparkly cowboy hat, with two glowsticks attached to the brim. It derives its name from a certain deep sea Lophiiforme. At Lancaster session 2, the Anglerfish is a sign of individuality and self confidence. It is traditionally worn at every dance and quad time. That was until the end of 18.2 when the cowboy hat was lost.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Lancaster]] has the most [[student positions]] of any site, due to being one of the most tradition heavy. This is not a complete list of all positions, only those not accorded their own page. For a list of all Lancaster positions, see [[Student position#Lancaster|Lancaster Positions]].<br />
<br />
If a position appears to be missing, it may have been moved to the [[Memories:LAN|Lancaster Memories]] page. Once a position has lasted for over five years- long enough that everyone originally around during its creation has aged out- it may be considered for a move to this page. This pruning is due to the [[shameless egotism]] that has sprung up over the last decade regarding positions.<br />

==Both Sessions==<br />
<br />
===Quotebook===<br />
<br />
Quotebook spans both sessions. The duties of the person who holds the quotebook are to record funny, inspirational, or just plain weird things that are said at LAN in his or her quotebook, and then publish them for all to see on the internet after CTY. When a holder of the quotebook nomores or nevermores out, their quotebook will be passed down to someone who is coming back the next year and is willing to carry the duties out.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook was passed down at Passionfruit for the first time at 13.2 but may be passed through whatever method is most convenient to the outgoing quotekeeper.<br />
<br />
It began in 08.1, when two year tragedy [[User:Kokomo|Zoe M.]] noticed the multitude of quotable sayings being said wherever she went in Lancaster. Due to the lack of computers and her bad memory, she forgot most of them. Therefore, a quotebook made of notebook paper was created and decorated. It filled up within three days, as well as started to fall apart. A new, sturdy, 80 page mini notebook was bought and decorated. 250 quotes were collected in 08.1, and about 550 were collected the next year. At the end of the session, quotebooks were passed to twomore Marnie P. of second session and onemore Vira Shao of first session. Due to some necessary position switching, is unknown if second session will continue to have a book.<br />
<br />
The Quotebook has proven tricky to keep continuous between sessions, as in 11.1 when there was no Quotebook until the second week when it was realized that there was no Quotekeeping being done. Even if there is no strictly passed-down Quotebook, it is true that wherever there are CTYers, funny things being said, and notebooks for sale, there will be a quotebook<br />
<br />
All quotebooks should in theory be transcribed on the userpages of the quotekeepers.<br />
<br />
After 14.2, [[User:dihalikias|Diana Halikias]] and Sam Mauro (the 15.2 quotebook keeper) created a tumblr for Lancaster Session 2's quotes. It can be found at http://lancasterquotebook.tumblr.com/<br />
<br />
Daniel Rock kept quotes on a sheet of looseleaf paper. His successor purchased a lovely leatherbound unlined notebook to keep quotes in. Many recent Quotebook keepers take submissions before Last Supper (when quotes are read). A good place to hear funny quips and quotations is Acting Improv, where many Keepers go for inspiration. <br />
<br />
After 19.1, [[User:gracechen|Grace Chen]] and [[User:Deej|Deirdre Cunniffe]] (the 19.1 and 20.1 quotebook keepers) created a [[Quotebook|page to upload the quotes of the quotebook]] for all to enjoy.<br />

==Session 1==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.1 Position Holders]]''<br />
===Jack Flash===<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is a First Session position. Their main duty is the organization and management of the stringers and breakdancers during songs such as James Brown is Dead, Sandstorm, etc. Jack Flash will always be a nomore glowsticker, preforming in the circle along with other glowstickers and breakdancers. Jack Flash is also charged with promoting and teaching [[glowsticking]] among the students. Lastly, Jack Flash will play the role of Jack Flash in the students' circle during [[American Pie]].<br />
<br />
The first Jack Flash was Wes McClung, who saw the need for the position and created it in 08.1, his nomore year. The position was passed down to J. T. Booth ("Mongoose") in the form of the orange glowstick used for American Pie during 2nd saturday dance in 08.1. The one used during the last dance exploded in a shower of pure CTY awesomeness.<br />
<br />
In 11.1, a very awesome and PLUR-tastic raver had to leave CTY mid-session and bequeathed upon then-Jack Flash Ajay Nadig a pair of chain raving nun-chuks. Made of precisely <s>44</s> 42 chain links each (the perfect length!), Ajay chose to pass these down as the new Jack Flash relic to Logan C. One of these was unfortunately lost during 14.1 when they were stolen to distract the Jack Flash from holding his Blammo spoon. The popular belief is that it was picked up by a sports camp participant. Spencer McClung made a much longer and heavier chain with 42 links as a substitute. Ariel Uy replaced the chain with a nearly identical one to the original.<br />
<br />
Jack Flash is apparently associated with hats. Glib Dolotov wore a red fedora in 13.1, which he popped off his head whenever he sat on a candlestick at dances. This was passed, and each Jack Flash has passed a different hat. Spencer passed his bear hat, Sara Nill passed a Cookie Monster baseball cap, and Ariel passed a JHU bluejays cap.<br />

<br />
===Lanyard Stack===<br />
<br />
The lanyard stack is a collection of many lanyards and name cards accumulated through the years since 2009. It is meant to represent collecting the memories of CTY over the years. According to Rudy Garcia, it was never actually meant to be passed down at Passionfruit but only as a low-key artifact, although passing at Passionfruit started in 14.1, when Thomas passed it to Steven along with a half gallon of bad [[Turkey Hill]] lemonade. The keeper is expected to add their lanyard from the previous year to the stack. It is rather cumbersome to wear, although most keepers wear it around their necks and with the lanyards braided in an effort to ease the burden. They are then unbraided for Passionfruit. Thomas would loop it around his shoulder. <br />
<br />
Holders of the Lanyards:<br />
<br />
*09.1: Elena Karras<br />
*10.1: Julian Weiss<br />

*19.1: Jessica Fox<br />
*20.1: [[User:TeleportingPanda| Sam Naiman]]<br />
<br />
===Coconuts===<br />
<br />
Coconuts is a onemore position and typically goes to an individual with knowledge of traditions. Coconuts receives a pair of empty coconut shells covered in duct tape and leads the students for the [[Monk Walk]] during dinner on the last Wednesday. During Passionfruit, the Coconuts of the session usually comes up momentarily in order to pass on their item. The coconuts used to be a relic belonging to the Jester, along with the corresponding responsibilities, but became a separate position in 2010 when the current jester handed them (and the responsibility) to onemore Deena Alexander.<br />
*10.1: Deena Alexander<br />
*11.1: Sam Sagan<br />
*12.1: Benjamin Zweig<br />
*13.1: Lou Lindsay<br />

*17.1: [[User: Brick|Oliver "Brick" Reinhardt]]<br />
*18.1: Jordyn Flaherty<br />
*19.1: Ava Lazar<br />
*20.1: Henry Goldschmidt<br />
<br />
===Secretkeeper===<br />
<br />
The Secretkeeper is Lancaster's only secret position. The identity of a Secretkeeper may only be revealed after that position holder's term has expired, and purely at their discretion, so naturally it is the least-known Lancaster position. Should the identity of a keeper be discovered prematurely, the discoverer shall become the new position holder immediately. Although the main duty of a Secretkeeper is to keep their identity classified, they are also expected to aid taxing positions such as the Blammo Gods or Jack Flash whenever possible. The position was created in 10.1 by Jessica Wyatt and was passed down to Lucy He for 11.1.<br /><br />
<br />
During 15.1, the Secretkeeper notebook was mysteriously found in the Alcove by RA Wes and later given to Asher Orner, apparently lost during the Monk Walk. Asher Orner presented the notebook at Passionfruit, but no one claimed it. Since the position holder has not revealed their identity for 2 years running, as is their prerogative, some assumed it to be dead. Asher Orner threw the book into the crowd. A Ctyanonymous post was made soon after by the 16.1 secret keeper, confirming that the position is still alive, and that they have a way to get the notebook back. However, no evidence of the position being alive has been seen since, which has been at least 3 years, it is still considered dead.<br />
<br />

===Cloak===<br />
<br />
The Cloak is a majestic article of black velvet. It is silver on the inside. A student who went by Vlad but whose real name was Brian wore this cloak every day without exception throughout 13.1. The cloak took on a distinct CTY smell. Vlad explained at Passionfruit that the cloak was given to him by his squirrel year roommate. He passed the cloak/cape to a onemore. The Cloak Bearer is not required to wear the cloak; they are simply required to own it. The third owner of the cloak, John Isaac Boland, said that the bearer should simply pick a thing to be and be it as much and as hard as possible.<br />
<br />
Cloak Bearers:<br />
*10.1: Evan Connors<br />
*11-13.1: Brian "Igor" DeRose<br />

*19.1: [[User:Julien Goodrich|Julien Goodrich]] (when [[User:Aleighyoung|Alex Young]] could not return)<br />
*20.1: Alex Rhoman<br />
<br />
===The Friend===<br />
<br />
The Friend is a position which was created by Brenton Whiting at Passionfruit 12.1 and given to then one-more, Anna Mehrabyan. It should be passed down from a nomore to a onemore. The idea of The Friend, as said by Brenton, is simply to be a friend. Someone to talk to or rely on. The Friend represents the friendships that form and kinship that exists between the wizards at CTY. This person is meant to personify these things and to be willing to be anyone's friend when they need one. The passed down item is a pair of rainbow suspenders, because like the Friend, they are whimsical and when the time comes will hold your pants up.<br />
The suspenders were stolen in 17.1, but Hudson got a new set for 18.1 which happened to come with a rainbow bow tie, so he will pass that down as well.<br />
<br />
Friends:<br />
* 12.1: Brenton Whiting (created position at Passionfruit)<br />
* 13.1: Hannah Mitlak (filled in for the absent [[User: Anulik96|Anna Mehrabyan]])<br />

* 20.1: Daniella Tsang<br />
<br />
===Shots===<br />
<br />
During a game of Truth or Dare among COGN-A 13.1 students, [[User: cdonegan778|Ciara Donegan]] dared [[User:Andrewmoore|Andrew Moore]] and a few other classmates to drink bubble mix, not expecting anyone to actually do it. However, they did, and they repeated the stupidity every year following during the Thanksgiving Feast, a tradition started by [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]] in 14.1. In 15.1, Andrew bought shot glasses from the bookstore, so at the Thanksgiving Feast, he and other CTYers took shots of bubble mix. At Passionfruit, the shotglasses were used to take shots of SKL. Andrew, at the suggestion of the Trinity, then passed them to onemore [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]], officializing the item.<br />
<br />
The shot glass holders have a reputation for being slightly off their rockers.<br />
<br />
During 15.2, the stunt was repeated (carrying the tradition to session 2) along with the Thanksgiving feast by Andrew and other double-sessioners. Unexpectedly, large amounts of people decided to try a shot and the feast got rather out of hand. This caught the negative attention of DRL Will. At Passionfruit 15.2, the RAs attempted to suppress the passing of the position by preventing Andrew from speaking, but the item was passed down to Apurva afterwards anyway to Apurva Memani. However, the tradition did not continue at 16.2. The holder of the shot glasses, in addition to taking shots, organizes the Thanksgiving feast.<br />
<br />
At 16.1, Victoria led the CTYers in taking shots of a mixture of watermelon, watermelon juice, SKL, and cream soda. When a student suggested that the supreme watermelon overlord who sacrifices Carol should be a position, it was decided that the annual sacrifice of Carol the Watermelon should be forever continued. Rather than create a new position, the two current ringleaders of Carol and Thanksgiving decided to merge their duties and add the killing of Carol to the responsibilities of Shots in the future.<br />
<br />
After the fiasco at 15.2, admin declared that the ingestion of bubble mix was strictly forbidden. Shprinkles was reminded of this at the start of 16.1 with a stern warning. In light of the situation, the Thanksgiving Feast-goers took shots of lemon juice (as it was deemed to be similarly awful), SKL, and different combinations of the two. Admin was fine with this. <br />
<br />
At 18.1, [[User:SuperCrazyMonkey|Justin Su]] was unable to buy lemon juice, and instead brought a bottle of white vinegar to Thanksgiving. Everyone present took shots (some students watered theirs down), and the bottle was emptied. No students were harmed during this time.<br />
<br />
At 19.1, [[User:Xamuel| Sam Schulman]] brought a great amount of lemon juice to the session to prevent make sure vinegar shots never happened again. However, much to the unawareness of [[User:SophiaZR| Sophia Ribeiro]], [[User:AsianDonut| Matthew Maung]] drank all the lemon juice on his own before Thanksgiving. Therefore, the shots were done with Schnaderade, which had been made by Sophia during dinner and kept cool over an AC Unit until quad time. Despite it not tasting as awful as expected, this is not recommended. Please bring lemon juice and make sure nobody drinks it. Please.<br />

==Session 2==<br />
: ''See also: [[Current LAN.2 Position Holders]]''<br />
===King James===<br />
<br />
The position of King/Queen James is very similar to the position of Jack Flash. King James is a glowsticking position, that is bestowed on a glowsticker who embodies P.L.U.R., demonstrates their passion for glowsticking in their performance, and shares the artistry of glowsticking with the greater community whether through teaching or otherwise. They are more of a rallying point and encouraging, positive force in the glowsticking community as well as a leader. Even so, King James should ensure that the rave circle is always big enough to give everyone enough space to rave and ensure that two rave songs are played at each dance. This position was created in 2010 session 2 by [[User:Sqfnyc|Sam Fomon]]. During "[[James Brown is Dead]]" at the last dance of 10.2, instead of passing on her [[User:Sqfnyc#The James Brown Lives Jacket|James Brown Lives jacket]], she coronated Ryan Cebulko as King James I using a luminous crown she had fashioned from a plastic gold crown and EL-wire. This is to be the relic for King James, and each wearer of the crown should ideally add something shiny, flashy, and/or glow-y to the crown to make it even more seizure-inducing in the rave circle. King/Queen James is not necessarily given to a onemore, yet the recipient is encouraged to wear the crown for only one year and then pass it on in ceremony at the final "James Brown is Dead" of session. Jackie Liu made the crown anew, styled after the first, to guarantee its longevity and wearability, no matter whose cranium it cradles.<br />

===Squirrel of the Year===<br />
<br />
''Example'' is a CD by a band called For Squirrels. It was discovered in the fall of 2006 by [[User: Mint Sharpie|Ariel Hyre]], who simply could not leave it where she found it. She brought it back to Lancaster in 07.2, her nomore year, with the intent of passing it on to a worthy squirrel who had the intention of returning. The disc is to be bestowed on a squirrel at Passionfruit of Second Session at Lancaster, one who has approached CTY with great energy and enthusiasm and who plans to return the following year. For this reason, this position is frequently referred to as Squirrel of the Year. Muskaan Garg, however, lost the CD. She redeemed herself by replacing the CD with a stuffed edamame toy as a play on words of the acronym for Squirrel of the Year, SOY. <br />

===Duct Tape Dress Wearer===<br />
<br />
The Duct Tape Dress was created by [[User:Yulia|Yulia Korovikov]] in Second Session of 2007. The dress is very shiny and of quite good quality, though it requires frequent repair. Yulia decided to pass down the dress at Passionfruit to Ellie Kladky, whom she, along with many others, felt deserved a special item and title for her nomore year. Ellie returned in 08.2 and treated the dress as a friendly gift rather than a weighty tradition, and so gave it to Lena Beckenstein after the Passionfruit was over to avoid the trend of making empty traditions. However, the dress managed to survive and continues to be passed down. In 09.2, when Dennis Cowan received the dress, there were some issues with getting it to fit. Because of this, the dress was remade with velcro down one side so as to be easier to put on and take off. In 14.2, when October Henley wore the dress, it was discovered that the velcro had been inside out for years, and had accumulated all of its adornments on the wrong side. It was refurbished right-side out, every major fixture transplanted to the new front. As of 15.2, the dress now sports pockets in an attempt both to make the dress easier to wear with regards to the joys of being able to place things in them (up to and including an entire roll of duct tape!), as well as to hopefully prevent another inside-out incident. <br />
The Duct Tape Dress has been associated with enthusiasm, whether it is for CTY culture, sketchiness, or just doing as the wearer pleases, no matter how off the beaten path it is, as well as the encouragement of such behavior in others. Since 13.2, it has begun to collect love tape every love tape day.<br />

===Kiwi Backpack===<br />
<br />
The Kiwi Backpack was first given as a kindergarten gift from a boy known by his nick name "Kiwi" to his best friend, Hang-Hang, who was nicknamed "Strawberry". Hang-Hang carried around the backpack for ten years and was rarely seen without it; it was almost an extra limb, both at home and when he came to CTY. At CTY, he met Dan Russotto, and at Passionfruit of session two, 2010, Hang-Hang passed it down to Dan, his willingness to part with the navy backpack with "KIWI" embroidered on the front the ultimate symbol friendship. The backpack continues to symbolize friendship imparted; in the words of Louie Brown, "Basically, [the backpack symbolizes] someone who is a friend, someone who will always have your back, who will always be there to talk with you when you're down, when you need a shoulder or a voice in your life." <br />

===Rascal===<br />
<br />
The Rascal, formerly known as the Pedobear, is a session two position started with Loren Sherman who first passed down a teddy bear and position Pedobear to Venya Mayakovsky. However the Bear was lost. In 2012, a bear hat was given to Nick Richardson by Gia Rigoli. Nick decided to pass down the bear hat in place of the actual bear. Their job is to promote sketchiness and help the Fiend. Moreover, the Rascal is an advocate of experimentation for themselves and others, and is someone to cuddle with or be sketchy with, as long as you're comfortable. <br />
Note: the Rascal and Chester Q. Carter are positions created in the same year, by the same person, carried out the next year by the same person, but are distinct entities and occur over different sessions.<br />

<br />
===Egg Parent===<br />
<br />
<p>The Egg Parent was originated at 15.2 by [[User:halloweenpants|Elliot Grant]]. The Egg Parent is the camper responsible for ensuring that session two's pride parade goes forward and ensuring that the Equality Egg is given new tape on Love Tape Day.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position itself was originated at 15.2, however, the artifact with which the position is passed down was created during 14.2, when Elliot was thrown into a popsickle stick crafting activity and created a giant egg out of duct tape and popsickle sticks. The egg was just that--an egg--until, during the first dance of 14.2, while Elliot and his friends were holding up the egg and chanting, a kid with a history of homophobia and sexism began to squeeze the egg, partially crushing it. Once the egg was repaired, it became known as the Equality Egg.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The position came about after Elliot, with the help of Hanna Hildebolt, Rosemary Wonell, Colin Sackett, and others, and with special thanks to R.A. Viv, were able to bring back CTY Pride. The idea was sparked first by Skylar Karzhevsky. CTY Pride occurs on Love Tape Day and features slightly modified Afterdance chants, both versions of which are listed in the Nomorenomicon. The egg is meant to be passed down quietly immediately following the parade. However, Jessica Kuleshov, the second egg parent, passed it down to Ky during Passionfruit.</p><br />
<br />
Egg Parents:<br />
* 15.2: Elliot Grant<br />
* 16.2 Jessica Kuleshov<br />
* 17.2 Ky Lynch<br />
* 18.2 Archer Goodwyn<br />
* 19.2 Felix Brener<br />
<br />
===Fanhammer===<br />
<p>The Fanhammer is a large hammer made from cardboard boxes wrapped neatly in grey duct tape, with a band of glow-in-the-dark duct tape wrapped around the base of the handle. It also has a duct-tape wrist loop at the end of the handle, which requires frequent repair. It is quite sturdy and is a viable weapon for bopping people with. The holder of the Fanhammer is a position usually given to a two-more, passed down very unofficially at some point near the end of the session or at passionfruit. The hammer was created by the hall of Max Franklin during 12.2, and the hammer was given to him to hold the following year, bearing the name "Mjolnir". Since then it has been customary for the holder of the Fanhammer to re-dub it with a name of their own choice. The holder of the hammer should carry it around during the session and use it to affectionately whack other CTYers. </p><br />

== Defunct Positions and Passed Items ==<br />
<br />
Some items or positions that have been passed down have not been revived or continued. Most of these positions are not likely to be brought up again. Here, they rest, until their records may be placed in a more proper location.<br />
<br />
===Satan (Session One)===<br />
<br />
Satan is still a part of the Session Two Pentinity, where it is now known as the Fiend. At Session One, the position of Satan died when Brenton Whiting failed to pass it down in 2012. It still informally exists, but only as an American Pie role any nomore/nevermore may sign up for.<br />
<br />
*01.1: Adam Roush<br />
*02.1: Gabe Slamovits<br />
*03.1: Jon Napolitano<br />
*04.1: Jeremy Berkowitz<br />
*05.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*06.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*07.1: Zev Hurwich<br />
*08.1: Everett "Ev" Maus<br />
*09.1: Joe Lodin<br />
*10.1: James "Turtle" Buckland<br />
*11.1: Rudy Garcia<br />
*12.1: Brenton Whiting<br />
<br />
===Panda===<br />
<br />
In 2013, Kayla (Dos) Ende passed her dearly beloved stuffed panda bear to Masha Zhdanova after Passionfruit. The holder of the Panda Bear (according to Masha) should be a low-key loving person. The Panda was passed for two years until Kayla expressed her desire to have it back, as she had not intended it to be anything official. The passing never occurred during Passionfruit but rather afterwards.<br />
<br />
*13.1: Kayla (Dos) Ende<br />
*14.1: Masha Zhdanova<br />
*15.1: Chris Ponsa Nazario<br />
<br />
===Chester Q. Carter===<br />
<br />
Chester Q. Carter, or CQC, was the nickname of Loren Sherman, whose nomore session was 11.2. Loren was jokingly known for his status as "pimp" among his friends. Venya Mayakovsky, double-sessioning in his final year of 2012, informally declared himself CQC of 12.1. He then began considering making it an actual position. Loren's girlfriend, Hannah (still at CTY), spoke with Loren over the phone, and he gave his consent to CQC becoming a position. Venya did not give a Passionfruit speech at session 1, so even the ceremony of passing the position down was incredibly informal, although in the grand scheme of things, it could really be thought of as almost a joke position, but a position nonetheless. The purpose of the position is, as said by Venya and his successor Peter, is to teach the importance of independence and staying true to yourself and your own personal happiness, although not necessarily in a selfish manner. (But everyone knows it's really about getting all of the biddies.) The passed down item is intended to be a top hat (Loren is known for wearing one), but the top hat has yet to be purchased by the current positionholder.<br />
<br />
CQC was apparently not passed<br />
<br />
CQCs:<br />
* 11.2: Loren Sherman<br />
* 12.1: Venya Mayakovsky<br />
* 13.1: Peter Suh<br />
<br />
===The Guide===<br />
<br />
After the end of session 1 2011, Sam Cawkwell had the idea of creating a guide to CTY for squirrels to help them integrate more easily into the student culture. The guide is co-written by many wizards, but always led by the person who holds the position of The Guide. The passed down item is the master copy of the Guide itself from the previous year. For example, Sam passed down the 2012 edition of the Guide to Hannah Barclay. Unfortunately, Hannah did not return in 13.1, and the Guide was quietly phased out. It was generally considered by some (I emphasize the ''some'') to be a useless addition to Lancaster's culture.<br />
<br />
*12.1: Sam Cawkwell<br />
*13.1: Hannah Barclay<br />
<br />
===The Pimp===<br />
<br />
The Pimp, or Master Pimp is a first session position. The duty of The Pimp is to use his/her insanely amazing sexiness to make other incredible CTYers feel loved, good about themselves, and unbearably sexy as well. The Pimp is often found in the center of pimp-lines and encourages other pimp-lines to form. S/he is a frequent giver of hugs and other public displays of affection. <br />
<br />
Monogamy is not unheard of in the polygamous lifestyle of The Pimp, although it usually occurs toward the end of the session. The Pimp must keep in mind however, that loving one person more does not mean they have to love the rest of CTY less. If the Pimp is fortunate enough to form a relationship with an understanding and not particularly territorial CTYer, then he/she need not cease whoring off of everyone else. The Pimp should be a rather out-going CTYer who is loving, caring, and sexy beyond reason.<br />
<br />
The role of the Pimp is a far less pronounced roles than the roles of most other Lancastrian positions. The position, in fact, is not even passed down during CTY, but is given a less official transfer via direct communication between past and present Pimps.<br />
<br />
Pimps:<br />
* 07.1: Aaron Ladd<br />
* 08.1: [[User: PathologicalLiar|Kate Wymbs]] (Ev Maus may have also done some pimping during 08.1; however, it was not official)<br />
<br />
===Bitch Bra===<br />
<br />
This article of clothing is a strapless, hot pink bra with seven claps. During Session 2 of 2007, this bra was forfeited/passed on to [[user:maggieanne|Maggie Farrell]], as a twomore, by Nixxi Chen. The receiver of this bra is someone who is known as a 'bitch' because she speaks her mind. She also knows her way around inducing pain throughout a male's genitalia (just kidding...or am I?). <br />
<br />
For purposes of making it CTYA, the significance behind this bra, asides from being the ruling Queen Bitch, is that the wearer knows how to make fun of themselves and not take things too seriously. However when her friends need her she's always the shoulder to cry on.<br />
<br />
* 2007: Nixxi Chen<br />
* 2008-2009: Maggie Farrell<br />
<br />
===Jay and Silent Bob===<br />
<br />
Jay and Silent Bob is a new tradition that may or may not be revived as seen fit. It all started on Halloween at CTY Lancaster Session 2 2006 when Cristina D'Ancona dressed up as Jay from the movies "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Dogma" and others. Immediately, her friend Peter Treadway caught the reference and changed his costume (originally it had been "emo") by borrowing a bathrobe and a hat and drawing a beard on his face with sharpie to represent Jay's infamous partner, Silent Bob. Jay and Silent Bob proceeded to terrorize the campus with their antics, their place in CTY history carved in stone.<br />
<br />
The Jay and Silent Bob tradition is unique in that it CANNOT be passed on to the next generation of CTYers by the current Jay and Silent Bob. Anyone who wishes to continue the tradition only needs to don the costume, and play the part.<br />
<br />
===Risk Board===<br />
<br />
At Passionfruit of LAN 06.2, Greg Lawrence passed his Risk board which he'd used in previous years down to Vishal Mehta. The Board had been modified in Sharpie, changing the names of the oceans to various geographic locations at Franklin and Marshall, and the names of the continents to types of [[courses]] and groups of wizards. The idea behind it was that each bearer of the Board would cross out a territory's name and rename it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Vishal chose not to return to CTY in 2007. Instead, he chose to go to some medical study in California. As such, the Board is currently discontinued, and extremely unlikely to come back again.<br />
<br />
===Hammertime===<br />
<br />
The Hammertime has several definitions:<br />
<br />
# The official time zone of CTY Lancaster Session 2, especially during [[Silent Football]], but still applicable elsewhere.<br />
# The time on the watch of [[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]], which may or may not correspond with CTY time.<br />
# The time on the watch of the person wearing the Hammertime mood ring.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Jeff has lost the mood ring, which he had planned on passing down to the next Keeper of the Hammertime.<br />
<br />
Relatedly, during opening ceremonies at LAN.09.2, Matt the DRL declared, "CTY time is 7:21 p.m." supposedly neglecting to include the word "currently." This led many to respond throughout the session to the question, "What time is it?" with "7:21 p.m." along with the occasional "Hammertime," and also [un]officially established the time (in addition to the time zone) of Lancaster Session 2 as 7:21 p.m., Hammertime.<br />
<br />
====Origin of the Hammertime====<br />
<br />
Hammertime was created during a game of Silent Football during LAN.05.2, some time after music was declared existant within the universe.<br />
<br />
During this game, MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" was being played from a Kunkel balcony. The universe was dancing happily. Suddenly, <b>horror of unspeakable horrors</b>, a player wanted to know what time it was! Said player raised said player's hand and made said player's query, stating, "Mr. Dictator, what is the current time?" to which Mr. Dictator <br />
(Shea Levy) replied, "It is the Hammertime." To which the ever-curious player replied, "What is the current hammertime?" A certain player, [[User:Jeff Sachs|Dr. Strangelove or: Etymologies SUCKS]], was then called on and said, "Mr. Dictator, the current Hammertime is X:YZ." The term Hammertime was used repeatedly to ask this question, and the same player always had the answer. That player then made a request, saying, "Mr. Dictator I motion that the official time zone of the Universe be the Hammertime!" This motion was granted and has been enstated ever since.<br />
<br />
===Anglerfish===<br />
<br />
The Anglerfish is a flamboyant sparkly cowboy hat, with two glowsticks attached to the brim. It derives its name from a certain deep sea Lophiiforme. At Lancaster session 2, the Anglerfish is a sign of individuality and self confidence. It is traditionally worn at every dance and quad time. That was until the end of 18.2 when the cowboy hat was lost.<br />
<br />
Wearers:<br />
* 15.2: Ethan<br />
* 16.2-17.2: Russell Schwartz<br />
* 18.2: Clara Robertson<br />

<div>Hello peoples! This is Avery Lamprecht. I’m really awkward around people and I like to draw and write, among other things. I am also clearly the strongest student at Lancaster. That is, if you exclude basically everyone there. I’m also boring and don’t really have that many hobbies- I can’t play any instruments, don’t do any sports, etc. For a person who loves writing, I have taken a low number of writing courses, but whatever. I plan to double session as much as possible. I am also wonderful at spellling.<br />

===The Most Adoptions Ever===<br />
<br />
Zev Hurwich currently holds the unchallenged record for being adopted 42 times in his squirrel year. The idea for this started due to his seeming dual adoption, first by Alexia Simmonard, and then by Jeremy Berkowitz. Zev and Jeremy discussed the possibility of being adopted more than once which led to the idea of being adopted 42 times. Zev and Jeremy, in the last week of 04.1, ran around the campus asking people to adopt Zev. The entire Alcove of 04.1 ended up adopting him, plus other random people around the site, leading to a final tally of 42 adoptions.<br />
<br />
==2005.1==<br />
<br />
===Bad Posture===<br />
<br />
In [[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]]'s [[Math Logic]] class in 2005.1, one of his friends noticed that Dan's shoulders were slouched down all the time. She brought it up with him, saying "Put your shoulders up, like this." Dan took note of this.<br />
<br />
A year later, just before 2006.1, someone in school told Dan he had good posture. Dan was like "o.o" and then he was like ":D".<br />
<br />
===Holding the Door for 500 People===<br />
<br />
[[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]] and his friend Luyu were bored one day and they were sitting in the Schnader stairwell, between the front and back doors, just lightly talking. Noticing the many people walking in and out, Dan and Luyu began holding doors open for people. Dan couldn't help but notice that only certain people said "thank you" as they opened the door - this made him curious, and he decided to get creative.<br />
<br />
Dan and Luyu relocated to the door coming in from Schnader porch, and their friend Andrey decided to join them. Together, the three of them held the door for anyone entering while counting each person who walked through; they also counted the number of "thank yous" received. Out of the 500 people they held the door open for, they received 255 "thank yous" - that's 55 percent. They also created a set of rules determining who says "thank you" and how it is said:<br />
*RAs are much more likely to say "thank you" than students.<br />
*Females are more likely to say "thank you" than males. This applies for students and RAs.<br />
*If the walker is familiar with the door holder, he/she is less likely to say "thank you."<br />
*People in a small group are unlikely to say "thank you" unless one person says it; in this case, the rest of the small group usually says "thank you" as well.<br />
*People are more likely to say "thank you" if they witness the door holder opening the door.<br />
*Unless a female RA, walkers are likely to say "thank you" quietly.<br />
*Small groups are more likely to say "thank you" than large groups.<br />
*Female RAs are most likely to smile when saying "thank you."<br />
<br />
===Change of Heart===<br />
<br />
[[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]], the Son of the [[Trinity (Session 1)|Holy Trinity]] in 2008.1, was ironically as non-traditionalist as possible during his first year in 2005.1. He had come to CTY during the lowest point of his three-year depression; he felt that CTY would give him a chance to start his life over with new people. Dan was generally happy at CTY, staying inside during dances to play cards and spending every Quad Time in his hall. However, his depression still affected him; he sometimes felt like everyone cared about each other more than Dan. Feeling that CTY was nothing special for him, he decided not to return the next year. He told this to his friend Ly, who was disappointed.<br />
<br />
Because of a thunderstorm on the day of the last dance, all students were required to report to the ASFC, which Dan was unhappy about. However, he managed to play cards with his friends against the wall, despite the blaring Canon songs in the background. Eventually, though, Dan's card-playing friends dispersed, and Dan was left alone to sit against the wall. ''Nightswimming'' began to play, and Dan was terribly upset - he was all alone again, just like at home. But then he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked up to see Artem, a onemore in his hall with a wonderful heart. He asked Dan what was wrong, only to get a shrug in return. Artem then said to Dan, "Hey, if there's something bothering you, you can always come to me to talk about it, and I'll be here to listen. I care about you, I want you to know that." A pat on the shoulder, and Artem was off.<br />
<br />
This single trigger caused Dan to reconsider what he had so stubbornly been so sure of for the past three years. He realized that maybe there were people out there - people who could care and listen; people who could love. After a lot of self-debate, Dan replaced each negative thought of his with something positive and motivational. His depression was over. On the last day, when Ly asked Dan to sign her shirt, Dan happily obliged and wrote his name, and underneath his name, a message: "I'll be back."<br />
<br />
==2006.1==<br />
<br />
===The Forty Two Person Grass Orgy===<br />
<br />
In Lancaster 06.1 during the first week of CTY when hand holding was still considered quite promiscuous Teh Corner decided to start a grass orgy. They had already been reprimanded for similar conduct but they hoped that they could get away with it. Then realizing that the more people who joined the orgy the less likely they were to get into trouble so members of Teh Corner kept inviting random people to join the orgy. When the orgy had past around 23 people the idea came into the minds of those present to achieve a forty two person grass orgy. Within a few minutes they had achieved the ultimate grass orgy and not a single one got yelled at by any member of staff.<br />
<br />
===Evil Vending Machine===<br />
<br />
One weekend, Dan Salvato and a few friends in his hall were bored. As all bored people do, they began climbing on top of the vending machine in their kitchen. Wondering if it was light enough to move, about five people positioned themselves around the vending machine. To their surprise, they managed to move it! Having fun with the whole situation, they pushed it in front of the doorway, blocking entrance to the kitchen. They wanted to give the vending machine a more menacing look, so they gave it an angry face made out of duct tape. The evil vending machine remained in place for several hours.<br />
<br />
RA Jeff was walking down the hall when something red caught his eye. Turning left, he found himself face-to-face with a vending machine, smiling at him mischeivously. He stood there for about five seconds, smiling to himself, before saying "Okay, can you guys move it back now?"<br />
<br />
The vending machine became the basis of the signature panels in the 2006 yearbook for both Etse's and Jeff's halls. (If you have a 2006 yearbook, check it out!) [http://privateimage.com/images/akcbf7ns7m2yqn4tdw4.jpg Here is a photo of the vending machine].<br />
<br />
==2006.2==<br />
<br />
===Sexapussy (The Sexapus)===<br />
<br />
During Second Saturday of 2006.02, Crafting the Essay 3C student [[User:DreamTwister|Ashok]] was getting bored as the day was dragging on to around 4:00, the end of the activities. Hallmate Greg Lawrence IV had had some twisty balloons mailed to him, and Ashok had collected 2 balloons so far that Greg had left lying around, presumed to be broken. Upon returning to his room, Ashok suddenly had an idea: he would make a balloon octopus! Quickly, Ashok scoured the hall for 2 more balloons. Alas, he only found one more, but not to be deterred, he used the 3 balloons he had to make a six-armed octopus. And thus Sexapussy, The Sexapus, was born.<br />
<br />
Ashok took the Sexapus to the 3rd Dubbs lounge, which was at the top floor of South Ben and very hot. As the people in the lounge started playing with Sexapussy, a few were interested in how slowly it fell. Noticing that there were several fans cooling the room, Ashok and RA Adam Roush set up 3 fans pointing upwards and dropped Sexapussy into the current. For the next half-hour or so, Sexapussy would float to the top of the room, then flip and fall, then flip and spin around several times while catching the air currents and floating upwards again. In summary, it would float, flip, and spin without touching the ground for several minutes at a time, and it looked really cool. Word of the Sexapus got around quickly, and many people came up to 3rd Dubbs to see the balloon creature. Unfortunately, someone jostled one of the fans before a good video could be taken, and it couldn't be put quite in the same position so that the Sexapus would float as long again. Later, Adam and some others tied inflated plastic bags onto 3 of Sexapussy's 6 arms, which made it float much slower and longer.<br />
<br />
Sexapussy suffered the same unfortunate fate that all balloons must, unfortunately, but plans for a bigger setup are under way.<br />
<br />
P.S. we all secretly (or not so secretly) want to have the sexapussy's babies. its true. ~Yulia speaking for all of CTY who witnessed the glory that was Sexapussy.<br />
<br />
Years later, a live [http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/03/03/hexapus-octopus.html "hexapus"] was found in a British aquatic zoo.<br />
<br />
===The Legend of The Ivan===<br />
<br />
For those of you who don't know (i.e. those of you who weren't in Archaeology or Advanced Chem 06.2), this is the legend of The Ivan, collaborate on by Lena and AmanDaray (Amanda Ray).<br />
<br />
It unfolds thusly: Soon after arrival at CTY, Amandar and Lena conversed and became friends. Of the myriad unusual and nerdy things discussed, the subject soon veered towards sex, drugs, communists and other such risque business (as CTY conversations have a knack for doing). Amandar brought forth the idea of locating an individual on campus to stalk for the remainder of the session, an idea that was met with enthusiasm from the not yet "attached-at-the-hip-and-left-knee-to-Kib" [The origin of this quotation remains uncertain] Lena. Walking past the arches, Lena spotted a more than adequate stalkee and rushed to inform Amandar of the charming new development.<br />
<br />
The two giddily overeager students and some friends they told about the stalkee stared at, "casually" walked by, and giggled uncontrollably at and around him for excessive amounts of time. He was of slim build, dark hair, and pasty complexion. On some occasions, he wore grey Asics of the same style as Lena's. He was often seen carrying an "indie" messenger bag and reading books while eating meals instead of socializing, like an "emo" student would. He often appeared very pensive and existential (if it is possible for one to look existential). He had a Russian look about him, and was soon dubbed a communist. At breakfast, Lena once remarked that he looked as if he should be at a coffee shop or vintage record store "like, in Belgium or somewhere!" which prompted the notion that he was a stereotypical Kerouac-esque beat traveler, and all of his books were written by Nietzsche, Camus, Ginsberg, and Palahniuk. Upon writing a report on fourteenth-century Russia in class, Lena researched Ivan the Terrible and immediately decided that the stalkee's name must be Ivan, Nikolai, Sven, or "something swanky like that." Ivan was preferred by Amandar and the matter was settled.<br />
<br />
At first, since he was too old to be a camper, and looked too mystical and worldly to be a TA or teacher (and obviously wasn't an RA), Amandar was misled to believe that he was a random F&M college student crashing CTY meals for unknown, mysterious reasons. Soon thereafter, one of the CTYers involved in the stalkage discovered that he did, in fact, have a black lanyard. This prompted Amandar to drag a whining Lena to the bulletin board outside the Nurse's office in Thomas where the pictures of RAs and TAs were posted. To both girls' dismay, the elusive stalkee's picture was ripped from the board, probably by a first session CTYer. They did, however, discover his real name, Nicolas (surprisingly close to Nikolai!), and that he TAed MIND B.<br />
<br />
By the third week, Ivan probably was well aware that he was being stalked, especially since an involved CTYer, Kristin, decided to approach him and strike up a conversation which promptly failed. Lena had kind of forgotten about him by this point, but Amandar was still recruiting stalkers to join the rapidly growing cult of Ivanites. She hopes Ivan will return next year so the tradition can be passed on, but they probably freaked him out too much, in addition to everyone in MIND B. Apparently, no one in MIND B had caught on that their TA was being stalked by everyone in ARCH, CHEM, and a few random people from paleo and other classes.<br />
<br />
Here is a strategically taken picture of Ivan and Amandar's shoulder by another A-Chem student:<br />

<br />
As a member of Mind B. I am completely shocked that people were stalking Nicolas "Fries"<br />
Friesner. Although I did read some interesting Dr. Uffy, Fries, Lectern, fanfics...<br />
<br />
Laney Newhouse says:<br />
<br />
DO NOT LISTEN TO JEFF SACHS. THAT IS A LIE. THERE WAS NO FANFICTION WRITTEN ABOUT DR. UFFIE, FRIES <br />
OR THE LECTERN, AND CERTAINLY NOT ABOUT THE THREE OF THEM ENGAGING IN ILLICIT ACTIVITIES TOGETHER. <br />
However, I, too, am very much amused by the stalkage of our beloved TA, and would like to note that <br />
a lot of members of our class stalked him as well, as they found him quite attractive and soulful.<br />
<br />
Amanda Ray says:<br />
<br />
'Twas the great Amandar herself who discovered the black lanyard, silly Lena.<br />

===Waffle House===<br />
<br />
On the last day of CTY, two CTY'ers, Harrison and Jordan, thought it would be a good idea to go to the Waffle House on Harrison's last day at CTY. The plan was to sneak out and leave the exterior door to the dorm building propped open with a flip flop (as they had already returned their key fobs). They made it past [[Turkey Hill]] and into the Waffle House, where they had a lovely breakfast, and stopped at a convenience store to buy some disallowed caffeinated products (an energy drink and caffeinated gum). They then attempted to call their dorm neighbor, Andrew, from a payphone, but he wasn't awake. On their way back, they were stopped by the Lancaster police for being out past curfew. After trying unsuccessfully to pass themselves off as townies, they were carted back to F&M, where they were summarily grilled about what exactly they had done. While the administration couldn't do much to Harrison, as he was a [[nomore]] and it was the last day of the session, Jordan was not allowed to come back for his nomore year.<br />
<br />
===D-Qwon===<br />
<br />
D-Qwon (the hyphen is important because otherwise one may think it's pronounced "deh-qwon") is a lamppost at [[Lancaster]], closest to North Ben, and near the arches.<br />
<br />
CTYers mainly in Crafting the Essay B and C spent their [[Quad Time]]s of the first week of LAN.06.2 basking in its light before realizing that... well, lampposts have feelings too. It was then that Johnny Mondel named the lamppost D-Qwon and, through some telepathic means, learned of his life. D-Qwon and his brother Dupree [whose body lay dying during 06.2, but has since been buried] were inner city lampposts who set out on a journey to Lancaster. D-Qwon, being the luckier brother, arrived on the Franklin & Marshall campus alive, but Dupree didn't have the same fate and was destroyed by the construction of Ware.<br />
<br />
On the first weekend in 06.2, with he help of Ellie Kladky's iPod speakers, the first D-Qwon Dance Party occurred, in which people sat around, listened to music, and of course, danced. Following this first D-Qwon Dance Party, any weekend time these CTYers spent hanging out and dancing to music, regardless of the place on the Quad, became known as a D-Qwon Dance Party.<br />
<br />
It is believed by many that the drawing on the back of the LAN 06.2 "year"book is of D-Qwon.<br />

<br />
===Be Strong===<br />
<br />
[[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]] cried very much on the last day of 2007.1. It was his last time in his room with his roommate [[User:Zev|Zev Hurwich]]. Dan had just finished packing and was about to leave; he gave Zev one last hug and began to cry again. Zev let go and Dan began backing out of the door. "Dan..." Zev said. "...Be strong." Zev smiled and held up a fist of strength to Dan. Dan sniffled and couldn't help but smile back - he held up his own fist in return. He then turned around and walked out of his hall for the last time. This was the most dramatic and epic moment of Dan's life - it was straight out of a movie. Only better...<br />
<br />
===Balcony Incidents===<br />
<br />
The only person to witness the balcony incident was [[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]]. The entire campus was on its way to the ASFC to watch the annual Talent Show. Dan, however, was a performer in the Talent Show and was preparing to depart with the other performers, who were grouped in Thomas Hall. A Rubik's Cube was needed as a prop for one of the MC acts, and Dan was asked to run back to his dorm in North Ben to get his cube as quickly as possible. At the front of North Ben were three RAs (Dan does not remember who) - two were at ground level, and one was a floor up on the balcony. All three RAs were laughing as the bottom two RAs attempted to toss a lanyard up to the RA on the balcony - they missed several times, and the lanyard fell back down. This is a major rule violation and would get all the balconies banned if any of the RAs caught students tossing anything up or down the balcony. It was very funny for Dan to watch, but unfortunately, he couldn't think of anything witty to say to the RAs at the time. He returned to Thomas Hall with the Rubik's Cube, and the RAs were never caught by anyone else.<br />
<br />
There was a second incident leading to the near-banning of the Muhlenburg/Mull balcony and possibly all other balconies due to the throwing of sprinkles off it. This occurred after the 4th dance while everyone was coming in from the afterdance. The two perpetrators were stopped by two CTY students because they did not want the balconies to be banned. The following day, an RA noticed and called a hall meeting for Muhlenburg and Mull to try to figure out what happened. The RA accused these two halls because they were the only ones with sprinkles.The punishment would be having to clean up other halls. Luckily, one of the two students that stopped the two perpetrators was in one of these halls, and told his RA what he saw. The perpetrators were caught and the balconies stayed open, and the halls were not punished. One perpetrator was from outside the hall, and his punishments are unknown.<br />

==2008.1==<br />
<br />
===Dan's Disappointment Speech===<br />
<br />
A transcription of the speech can be found here: [[Essay:Dan's Disappointment Speech]]<br />
<br />
[[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]] spent 2008.1, his nomore year of CTY, involved with tradition and the [[Alcove]] more than ever. When heading out of a lounge in North Ben during the first Saturday, he saw his two friends, Alex "Sasha" Ayvazov and Rowan Matney, in the distance. Sasha looked upset; Dan asked what was wrong upon approaching them. Sasha explained that he did not feel as much of a sense of love and family in the Alcove as he always had in the past; Dan and Sasha talked about this together for a while and agreed that something should be done to unite the Alcove as a family. Thus, they decided to write a speech to give to the Alcove the following Tuesday during dinner. When Sasha had to go, he hugged Dan and said "I love you, Dan." Dan started to cry, as this was the first true sense of love and family he was given during 2008.1.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE:''' The Alcove and its sense of family is a very touchy and debatable subject, mainly in terms of whether the Alcove has lost a sense of family over the years, whether it has become less of a family after 2007.1 when Zev and others nomored out, or whether it has always been the same but was given a goal in 2008.1 that was not upheld to the fullest of expectations. This entry only covers the interpretations of Dan, Sasha, and the written speech.<br />
<br />
Dan and Sasha spent several quad times and early mornings working on the speech. The original idea of the speech was that the Alcove contained a strong sense of family in the past, but this was failing in 2008.1. Dan consulted Dana Reback after the completion of the speech; he was glad he did, because she was involved in the Alcove for four years and believed that the sense of family was never truly given in the Alcove any more in the past, but was rather a new perspective the Alcove wanted to uphold for 2008.1. Dan spent his quad time rewriting the speech and went over it with Sasha Tuesday morning.<br />
<br />
After a long talk with the Site Director, Dan was ready to give the speech, though he was incredibly nervous. Upon quieting down the Alcove, he got their attention by opening with the sentence "A few of us have been disappointed this year at CTY." From here, he was able to deliver the rest of the speech; a few people were in tears at the end, including Dan himself. The speech was awarded with a lively applause, followed by each member of the Alcove hugging Dan one by one. The Alcove then formed a circle by linking their arms around each others' shoulders, singing the Beatles' "Hey Jude." Dan left the Alcove crying and was stopped by Frank Wang, sitting with several other RAs. Frank asked Dan what was wrong, and Dan said "I just gave my speech" in between sniffles. Frank reached out his arm to pat Dan on the back, but Dan moved closer and gave Frank a hug (Frank said "Okay, okay" in slight disapproval).<br />
<br />
''"42 is a great number, but if it means one more person can join in, 43 is even greater."''<br />
<br />
===Brotime===<br />
<br />
On the talent show program, an act midway through the set was listed only as "Brotime." This act turned out to be five male RAs (Tom, Diego, Papa Pucci, Joe, and Scruff) dancing to Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," leading to much laughter and many cheers from the female students. The next day, at the final dance, "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" was played. As soon as it was started, there were many yells of "BROTIME!", people cleared the blacktop, and the fivesome performed. Then, at closing ceremonies, two encore acts from the talent show were scheduled; Dan Salvato, Alan He, and Victor Song's breakdancing, and Sarah Hackney, Sarah Parr, and Rachel Khatan's singing and playing ''Scarborough Fair''. The breakdancing went over well (besides the fact that the iPod's battery died mid-performance), but before the ''Scarborough Fair'' act went on, there was a small scuffle between Sarah H.'s guitar and a member of the History of Disease class, which ended with one of the guitar strings breaking, rendering it unplayable. Therefore, Sarah had to rush to get a spare, leaving a large time gap. Some students yelled "Brotime!" and weren't taken seriously at first, but when more students called for Brotime, RA Mama Kate asked if anyone in the ASFC had Wham on their iPod. Both Byron Callan and Jeremy Strege donated their iPods and Brotime put on one final performance for the CTYers and parents. They received a standing ovation.<br />

<br />
==="Hey, Shae!"===<br />
<br />
During a break in Rocky Horror rehearsal on Second Saturday, certain students who here shall remain unnamed (due both to lack of consent from both parties and also full group LAN 08.1 memory of the event anyways) engaged in flagrant violation of PDA rules. Unbeknownst to them, RA Shae (still fully in drag) entered Mull/Muhlenberg 2nd lounge, with a full view of them from the door. It took a few tries from other students to get their attention, but once they realized Shae was there, one student immediately jumped off the other and onto the chair arm, and essentially hid behind a combination of knees and carefully-draped hair. Suddenly, jumbled excuses were heard from various unknown parts of the lounge about "part of the rehearsal" and "in the lab...on the slab!" Shae, who appeared somewhat startled, seemed to accept these excuses, and then said something about having to go get Adam Roush to watch the rehearsal, followed by what seemed like a plea: "Please don't make out anymore...!" After Shae's exit, the two students were ridiculed. This ridicule continued for the rest of the session, by changing the practice of directing the words "Hey, Frank!" to the air behind a PDA-ing couple with "Hey, Shae!" especially for this particular couple.<br />
<br />
'''Edit:''' Most of this information is, quite surprisingly, 100 % accurate. I must interject to defend myself, however, because I totally didn't believe the excuses of said students at the time. Not at all. They were clearly not "in the lab, on the slab," as implied. They were in an armchair, being CTYI. I was just too gobsmacked to act otherwise. --[[User:Shaeberry|Shae]] 10:14, 25 November 2008 (PST)<br />

I know you didn't believe them but it was more fun to write it that way. It would have been even more fun if ''I'' had thought to describe you as "gobsmacked". -Rachel<br />
<br />
===Balcony Mishaps===<br />
<br />
The balcony of Rauch 3 was a place of mishaps and mayhem during LAN.08.01. The ETYM girls were often reprimanded for their interesting and slightly CTYI beheavior on side jutting precipice. The beginning of this saga was the Dangling of the Bra, during the Sunday Lockdown. A moth killed with a shoe mistaken for a gunshot put the whole campus under house arrest, but the girls of Rauch 3 had a religious RA, and therefore were barely informed through sparse text messages. During the lockdown, a bra was torn from the body of an unsuspecting ETYM-ite and dangled off the balcony, upon which very angry RAs/Policeman ordered the girls inside and the bra off its makeshift flagpole.<br />
<br />
This was not the only offense, however. One night during lights out, one of the girls was talking on the phone on the balcony, when two attractive (yes... they were attractive. We could tell. It doesn't matter that it was dark. Shhhhhh) men were spotted walking through the campus. NAKED. Well... in boxers, but close enough. Being the true Rauch 3 girls they were, catcalling erupted and the boys walked over to talk. But right before numbers could be exchanged, the half-naked boys were caught by an RA and escorted off the premises, into the land of legend.<br />
<br />
The last incident took place when a CTYer was reciting a sonnet rather loudly off the balcony into the night. A couple heading towards Weiss Hall shouted, "SHUT UP!!!" To which the response was, "It's Shakespeare, you illiterate manwhore!!!" But who should be walking by at that very moment but DRL Scary Matt? So, you can guess what happened next - yes. Failure. But a little Catholic girl wrote an apology and everything was right as rain. Suspicious? Maybe. Ingenious? Yes.<br />
<br />
===Frank Wang: Owned Via PDA===<br />
<br />
It was the last dance of session 1 and CTYer X and CTYer Y were kissing near the back of the dance crowd. Suddenly, Frank Wang came by, and he shouted "No PDA!" Lo and behold, however, he was shouting to an unsuspecting couple right nearby CTYers X and Y, not X and Y themselves. Frank began to reprimand the victims verbally, and CTYer Y interjected, politely commending Frank on his excellent work catching the PDAers. It was then, when Frank began to go into full swing lecture, that CTYers X and Y kissed for a long time, right behind the great Frank Wang's back. It was a satisfying, triumphant moment never to be forgotten.<br />
<br />
When Frank Wang turned back to face them, "lock down" mode was initiated, and both X and Y faced away and shouted, "Ew!!! Cooties!"<br />
<br />
Thus, Frank Wang had been owned.<br />
<br />
===The Name Train===<br />
<br />
The Name Train was a horrible evil devised by an RA as a method to supposedly help CTYers learn each others' names, but was truthfully a nightmarish form of torture. It dates back to as early as the first day of 08.1, being used as an ice breaker, but it began to become more well-known during the very first hall bonding, in which it wickedly ruined the bonding of many other halls. Sporadically throughout the rest of the session, the Name Train was revived, causing many CTYers to flee in fear when it approached.<br />
<br />
''"What's YOUR name on the Name Train?!"''<br />
<br />
''"...Debbie?"''<br />
<br />
''"DEBBIE! DEBBIE! DEBBIE-DEBBIE-DEBBIE! Hop on the Name Train!!"''<br />
<br />
The Name Train's reign of evil was broken, however, when a group of CTYers determined to stop it planned to join the train with really long names, like Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo, obscene names, like Mike Hunt, or simply a few hundred digits of pi. The plan of action was changed when [[User:Kokomo|Zoe]] stated that any name train that attempted to kidnap her would be promptly Rickrolled, and held up her ever-present portable speakers. Inspired, [[User:Madredhattie|Christine]] suggested that the whole group simply gather together in an acapella Rickroll, and thus the Wall of Rolling Rickroll was born. The Name Train was Rickrolled three times before the Wall scattered and fled, but the damage had been done. The Name Train was no more.<br />
<br />
EDIT: The Name Train lives on! Several 2nd sessioners jumped on board. In fact, Katherine's girls <i>requested</i> to be Name Trained on the first day! AND! a lot of you 1st sessioners loved the Name Train! So much so that we had to establish a regular schedule — the 6:10 Name Train. (RA, Andrew Dillon)<br />
<br />
'''EDIT:''' Andrew, I have to defend the honor of my hall by stating that it was actually MY girls that requested to be Name Trained. Specifically Kleo and Kate. Because the Transformers rock.<br />
--[[User:Shaeberry|Shae]] 10:14, 25 November 2008 (PST)<br />
<br />
EDIT: The acapella Rickroll was one of my favorite memories that I had Session 1.<br />
-Austin<br />
<br />
EDIT: On Second Saturday of 09.1, James "Turtle" Buckland started a pre-dance Name Train, which managed to gather about 25 people. This Name Train was destroyed by Sam Bauman who, upon asking of his name, screamed "YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!" and charged the Name Train, breaking it apart.<br />
<br />
===Best Typo of the Year===<br />
<br />
In the middle of the session, one of the activities on the Activity Sheet appeared as "Hot Bo and Tom With Balls." This was laughed about for the remainder of the session by many. The activity was meant to be "Hit Bo and Tom With Balls" (dodgeball). It may or may not have been an accident. *coughcough*<br />
<br />
===The Schnade, The Chart, and The Health Office Party===<br />
<br />
During first session, a nasty cold quickly spread throughout the Alcove and the campus. (this cold was so nasty that it even sent one girl to the ER) It was spread quickly because the person who first caught a bad case was in -close contact- with many people. She was quarantined in the Health Office for two and a half days, only allowed out for meals and activities. During lunch of the first day, she, along with a few of her friends who were already showing symptoms, created a sick table to contain the illness, and created a Schnade chart. This chart showed how the cold would spread, AKA it showed the people who were already sick, and the people closest to them, the people closest to them, etc. As more and more people got sick, their names were checked off of the list. That Friday, this girl had to stay in the Health Office during the dance. She was feeling better, so she grabbed the candy she had left from Turkey Hill and the previous week's Farmers Market, so she could make her own party in the Health Office. When she got there, she realized that three of her friends were also still sick and stuck in the Health Office. They sat in the suite lounge eating candy and hanging out for the entire dance. During the night, they had visitors pop in for water and just for fun, including friendly RA's Shae and Sean and even SRA Frank Wang. Frank, after letting the no longer deathly sick girl sign up early for the Farmer's Market, showed a side of himself not usually seen by CTYers. <br />
<br />
"Man, you guys all look really sick" Frank<br />
<br />
"...uh... yea.. well we are.. pretty much..." CTYers<br />
<br />
"No, you don't get it... like, SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK" Frank, striking a pose<br />
<br />
In the moment, it was so funny that one girl fell off the couch laughing and took a few minutes to calm down. She's having trouble right now finding the words to explain the hilarity of the situation. All in all, the four sick friends in the Health Office had fun with each other, with friends, RA's, SRA's, with the chart, and made the best out of this potentially horrible situation.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, due to his illness during the Lip Sync Contest, [[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]] was unable to perform a romantic broadway-themed dance to the Pokemon Theme Song (which he spent weeks choreographing before CTY) with his partner Margaret Rigg, so the performance was canceled.<br />
<br />
===Schnader Hall Lockdown===<br />
<br />
Since it's been almost a year since this happened, I feel like this famous event should be recorded before too many of us forget.<br />
<br />
It was a lazy second Sunday morning on the 3rd floor of Schnader Hall, and I had just finished taking a shower. I was chilling, talking to people, and waiting for brunch to be served. As several of us were lounging in Schnader's 3rd floor lounge, an RA from a lower floor came up the stairs and said something about hearing gunshots. Confused, we all sat there for a moment, and continued about our business. Around 2 minutes later, my RA, Rob came in and said to everybody, "Everybody get to your rooms, we are on lockdown. Someone heard gunshots." <br />
<br />
Now we were very nervous. We all scrambled to our rooms and shut the doors tight. Unfortunately, my room was locked. I tried my key, but nothing happened. Luckily, Rob was still in the hallway and asked what I was doing. I then told him what had happened, and he whacked on the door a couple times, calling the person to open the door. Now I had no idea what had happened. Maybe the gunman had taken cover in my room and had barricaded himself in there! <br />
<br />
Luckily, moments later, a screeching could be heard and my door opened. I am not going to reveal who it was in there, to protect his privacy, even though many of you already know who it is. Nervous as crap by now, I dashed inside my room. For some reason though, my dorm window was open and the person was shouting to somebody outside. Fearing for our safety, I tried to close the window, when I realized the person was holding a phone and talking to a cop. Really scared now, I backed away to my bed. <br />
<br />
Seconds later, I heard a knocking. Looking through the peephole of my door, I saw three police officers with body armor, and Police version M1 carbines. Relieved, I opened the door. They soon began asking us what had happened. The caller said he had heard gunshots, laughing, and a cry of "Is he dead? Is he dead?" By this point, the caller was extremely upset, and they figured it would be better off if they asked him questions in private. They allowed me and my roommate to return to our room. <br />
<br />
5 minutes later, an announcement was made, and certain dorms were allowed to go to brunch. Naturally, many of us thought thought that this was incredibly stupid. As far as we knew, there was still a gunman somewhere out on the campus. Grouping America's future together in one crowded cafeteria seemed to be very unwise. Little did we know, that a clear signal was tentatively given, and they figured that we should at least eat. <br />
<br />
For the first time, we were allowed to talk to other people about what had happened. As we talked, a slow realization came upon me. I knew what the caller had heard! Earlier that day, someone had walked into our lounge from our microwave room, laughing hysterically. When we asked him why he was laughing so hard, he told us what happened. He, along with others, had been trying to kill a moth. They had managed to chase the moth into the microwave, and effectively cooked it. He noted that it had made a popping sound. We of course, thought nothing of it at the time and remarked how each of us would never use the microwave again. <br />
<br />
Returning from this flashback, I unveiled my conclusion. There was never any gunshots at all! It was instead the popping of the moth in the microwave! This theory was not exactly correct however, as I never heard about a flip flop being involved. But this theory was the catalyst in figuring out what had happened. <br />
<br />
Later, we were able to piece together exactly what had happened. Several people were in the Microwave room. In there, they saw a moth. As Schnader Hall 3rd floor is infested with moths, the leaped at the opportunity to kill it. Literally. They had been jumping up all over the place, using flip flops to kill it but often missing. The resulting miss still hit the wall though, and I am sure that everybody is familiar with the sound of a flipflop hitting a surface at a fast speed. They were laughing, asking if it was dead in loud voices, and just causing a ruckus. I however, heard none of this as it happened. Meanwhile in my room, the caller had awoken from a sleepover from the previous night. He awoke to the sound of loud popping, laughing, and cries of "Is it dead yet?". Naturally, being half-asleep and a squirrel, he panicked. He dialed 911 and reported gunshots in Schnader hall. And that is where my story began.<br />
<br />
Epilogue:<br />
On one of the last days of CTY, the caller received a package. It was a hat and a certificate from the Lancaster police department. The certificate was one of thanks for "cool thinking and fast action in the face of potential crisis." or something like that. The best possible response to this goes to Ben Levy: "Cool thinking? What the hell? That wasn't cool thinking at all, he thought that people trying to kill a moth were crazed gunmen!!!!"<br />
<br />
==2008.2==<br />
<br />
===Pantsless Macarena Line===<br />
<br />
During the final dance of Session 2, the songs Sexy Back and BLT were played back to back. The Macarena and Sexy Back had been combined at CTY before, but not in a manner such as this. Following BLT, a small group of students rushed to the ASFC track where it overlooked the dance floor. They then began to form a Macarena line similar to the one formed at the last dance in the ASFC, but with one vital difference: their pants had been left off following BLT. As the song went on, the line grew, until only a small portion of the dancers were pantsless, the other ones either wearing dresses, or leaving their pants on. And that was how the Pantsless Macarena Line was born. <br />
<br />
Previous to this, the Macarena was also done during other rap-ish songs as well. Thus, during (I believe) the 3rd dance, the Macarena was played, but although some were actually doing the Macarena, a line of people refused to dance the Macarena to the correct song and instead performed the Generic Gangster Dance directly in front of the Macarena-ers. <br />
<br />
-This is entirely true. I was part of both of these. [[User:FJØRKËN|FJØRKËN]] 13:55, 20 August 2008 (PDT)<br />

==2009.1==<br />
<br />
===400 Babies!===<br />
<br />
During 2009.1, a new rule was introduced that banned hugging for more than three seconds. This was not received well by the CTY community, and some started to make jokes about this. One popular joke was that it couldn't be fear of girls getting pregnant, because we were all educated people there and we knew how it actually worked. So, it must have been fear of the guys getting pregnant. [[User: D short|Declan Kennedy]], inspired by the PowerThirst commercial, mounted a plan to be hugged for longer than 3 seconds 400 times by the end of second session. He had gotten 400 long before the end of first. No idea when those babies are going to show up.<br />
<br />
===Pie Through the Window===<br />
<br />
During 2009, a swine flu scare sent many students home. Rudy Garcia was kept in the health office for a very long time because the admin and his parents had to arrange transportation back to California. He was there so long that his symptoms disappeared, but Baltimore ruled that he had to go home anyway and that he could not have visitors. Some enterprising friends of his began talking to him through the Health Office window. On the second Thursday, some Alcovians were talking to him through the windows. Zoe M. then played the Dr. Mario dance off her speakers, and Rudy and the Alcovians did it. After Dr. Mario, Zoe started playing "American Pie" for Rudy, because he would not get to attend another dance. The Alcovians and Rudy's friends then did a full rendition of it, albeit with some switched positions because the official ones were not there. (Erik Goldberg as the Jester, Zoe as the queen/Fire, Bill Fedullo as king/Jack Flash.) There was no Afterdance because of everyone having to go to class, but Rudy seemed very happy. There were also plans to go and American Pie sick nomore Colin Stanfill, but his parents picked him up before that could happen.<br />

===The Walking Afterdance===<br />
<br />
On second Saturday, a variety of unfortunate things occurred at the dance that are discussed in detail on the Hall of Shame. The last of these was the appearance of lightning, which caused the RAs to begin ushering students back to their dorms. Instead of abandoning the Afterdance for one night, there occurred a walking afterdance that was incredibly surreal as well as incredibly awesome, everyone shouting the songs with such emotional intensity that, to this editor, captured the feeling of CTY perfectly.<br />
<br />
Walking Afterdances have continued to occur whenever there is lightning after the dances.<br />
<br />
===Dimbyism===<br />
<br />
Once upon a time, there was an awesome Number Theory TA called Dimby. He developed a cult following in class, which spread across campus via a loud and rancorous song. Indeed, the THEO.B class loved their Dimby so much that they developed a variation of a famous and ages-old Number Theory song (only the Dimbytized variation of which will be written here):<br />
<br />
We have Dimby<br /><br />
Great big Dimby<br /><br />
Teaching through night<br /><br />
Not beautiful sight<br /><br />
We have Dimby<br /><br />
Great big Dimby<br /><br />
YYYYYAAAHH!<br />
<br />
Other variations of the song were created, notably one about a cripple. The original song itself could be heard, as usual, resounding across the quad on many-a-day. The Dimby version was particularly audible on the last CTY Friday, when the THEO.B class transported Dimby to Keiper held aloft on a pool mattress. Dimby himself became a widely recognized person among many CTYers (his appearance at a dance resulted in over fifty nearby students bowing down to him in supplication), and his glory has converted many students to Dimbyism.<br />
<br />
During second session, the THEO.A class, also sang this song, (but we didn't know that this song existed already), replacing trucking with proving, and the fourth line staying the same. Awkward thing is, that we called our religion Dimbyism as well... We must have a special connection.<br />
<br />
===The Artificial Creation of a Meme===<br />
<br />
On one of the last days of 2009.1, some campers sat down in LLRT and decided that they would create a meme just to see how fast it would spread. The meme was this: The sentence "1 part cranberry, 2 parts orange juice, 5 parts root beer, it's delicious!" repeated as quickly and as often as possible. It was spread throughout the campus until most, if not all, people had heard of it. It is a prime example of the memetic effect of information propagating throughout a society for no purpose other than the lulz.<br />
<br />
==2010.1==<br />
<br />
===TOPI Insanity, or, TOPI BOYS <3 THE PEEN===<br />
<br />
The Utopias and Dystopias class of 2010.1 became quite notorious for their general rowdiness, overwhelming love for naked time, and the fact that all the boys in the class were either gay, bisexual, or otherwise attracted to males. The default state of the TOPI girls in their hall in South Schnader 2 was partially naked, sometimes fully naked, like during one particular sleepover that began with a game of strip never have I ever. The war chant of TOPI was to simply shout NAKED TIME!, and several other TOPI classmates would invariably respond with cheers and more NAKED TIME. Ironically, the one time four TOPI girls ended up in the same shower stall, three of them were fully clothed.<br />
<br />
The TOPI girls played an unending stream of ruthless pranks on each other, which terrified their hallmates, the Crafting the Essay A girls, and stimulated intense hatred in the Physics B girls, who lived across the hall and were disgusted by the TOPI girls' lack of conservatism. One TOPI girl played a stream of pranks on a second one who couldn't poop when others were in the bathroom, like dumping an entire bottle of baby powder on her head while she was pooping or taking pictures of her over the stall wall. A pair of roommates kept up a humorous war throughout the session; one was afraid of Jello, one was afraid of feet. One day after dinner the first girl entered her room to discover that her roommate had smuggled six cups of Jello out of the dining hall and dumped them all on her bed. The next morning, the second girl was woken up by the first girl's feet in her face. Eventually, Jello was thrown, Silly String was shot, and the rest of the hall was so inspired by the chaos that water ices were smushed in faces and people were attacked with shaving cream.<br />
<br />
Other antics involved two TOPI girls running around Schnader in a nothing but underwear and a large tube of fabric, declaring themselves to be a chinese dragon, followed by a girl in a leopard snuggie, for no reason other than that snuggies are awesome. TOPI often ended up down in the South Schnader basement to visit the CODE C girls, who expressed extreme appreciation for naked time and TOPI in general. CODE girls often visited TOPI girls and in one instance pelted them with duct tape while the TOPI girls were being yelled at by SRA Megan. It should be noted that the CODE C girls in question had almost decided to come up shirtless but did not. The crypto girls expressed their extreme remorse for not doing so afterward for it would have made for intense hilarity. TOPI girls had nightly illegal sleepovers; one girl slept in her own bed all of three nights throughout the entire session. Late-night illegal sleepover activities included throwing paper airplanes covered with sexual innuendoes out the window and pelting one TOPI girl with full water bottles when she refused to get off the phone with her boyfriend.<br />
<br />
Many TOPI rooms were decorated with bras (or in one case, a chastity belt made out of duct tape) hanging from the ceiling. The large quoteboard page hanging in the hallway, meant for doodles, was adorned with the large statements "NAKED TIME 22:00," "BOYS IN TOPI <3 THE PEEN, ESPECIALLY IN THEIR ORFICES," and "I WANT TO DO DIRTY THINGS TO YOUR MOIST BUTTHOLE." A book of gay erotica (purchased at a used bookstore for $5) was kept hidden in someone's dorm room, only to emerge for dramatic readings during sleepovers, and on the last day the receipt for its purchase turned up mysteriously covered in baby oil. A TOPI girl had a phobia of the words moist and musky; as a result, Betty Crocker Warm Delights (THE BEST THINGS EVER) were referred to as Moist Delights for the whole session and the word musk was thrown in whenever possible, especially in reference to vaginas.<br />
<br />
The ridiculousness was not limited to the TOPI girls. The TOPI boys' extreme sexuality and touchy-feely-ness forced their instructor to make a rule allowing only one boy to go to the bathroom at a time. A regular reprimand of the class was for them all to stop touching each other, and at any possible time TOPI held indoor grass orgies in the center of the classroom. Just like the TOPI girls. TOPI boys did some awesome/highly CTY-I things. From gaorgies to taping the door of their RA shut, mattress dominos, and more gaorgies. One day when activities were rained out, the TOPI boys held a Ke$ha dance party in their bathroom. They were only told to stop when their RA realized that Ke$ha's "Blah Blah Blah" isn't exactly the most CTY-A song.<br />
<br />
Three TOPI-ers famously got sent to the DRL during the third dance for "simulating oral sex" on a fourth TOPI-er, when in reality they were merely having their picture taken while pretending to nom on his butt. While the three spent an hour in DRL Bree's office, a rumor spread throughout the dance that they had been sent to the office for licking people's elbows, a result of the elbow-licking craze that had started in TOPI and spread through the rest of the campus. Continuing the trend of rule-breaking (by the end of the session, TOPI had broken more rules than it had followed), five TOPI girls got busted for an illegal sleepover on the third Monday and for punishment were made to clean up the dining hall for 15 minutes after breakfast and dinner. The punishment ended up being ridiculously enjoyable, and the girls became BFFs with Earl, the totally awesome man who checked for CTY IDs at the entrance. The punishment became known retroactively as the funishment.<br />
<br />
==2010.2==<br />
<br />
===The Great 599===<br />
<br />
Muhlenberg 2 10.2 was a rather special hall, being both a THEO hall and a TOPI hall. This combination of two classes with reputations for attracting hardcore CTYers meant this hall had great things in store for it. <br />
<br />
One of the stunts best remembered by the hall came to be known as "The Great 599". Through various channels, the hall was able to acquire a total of 600 off-brand copies of the famous red Solo Cup (Kroger brand, to be precise, and there were some blue ones too). One night, following lights out, much of Muhlenberg 2 left their rooms, and set to work. <br />
<br />
Using the 27 gallons of water that Ryan and Noah had collected in various empty bottles and jugs, as well as an additional 33 gallons from jugs refilled during the prank, the hall outside Blaise's door was full within the hour. And so began the waiting game. Most of the hall expected Blaise to wake up late, after they had already gone to class. However, unbeknownst to the hall, Blaise had been out on patrol that night. <br />
<br />
Around 2:00 in the morning, Blaise returned to his hall, two members of the prank team waiting in the lounge in hopes of catching his reaction. As Blaise asked them why they were in the lounge, they silently led him through the door into the hall itself. Their celebratory cries alerted the rest of the hall, who congregated outside to see the reaction. After he had been sufficiently pranked, a path was cleared in the cups for Blaise to walk through. Once he had gotten into his room, a few of those involved took it upon themselves to fix the prank. They emptied out all of the cups and [http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs146.ash2/40658_1542734537277_1502385115_1347671_2862142_n.jpg stacked them in the bathroom], leaving one solitary cup sitting outside of Blaise's room. They then retired to the lounge to eat ramen with a glowstick until they passed out at various wee hours of the morning.<br />
<br />
One member of the hall, who had not been part of the prank, summed up the event with a quotation: "WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO NOISY, AND WHY IS IT TWO A.M.?" (We answered that it was 2 AM because time flows linearly. Some later argued that time flows more like a parabola.)<br />
<br />
A video of Blaise's reaction is available at http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1436169137130.<br />
<br />
You can also find a series of photos taken in a stop-motion style at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=30442&id=100000121159312&l=6d818727ba (by Noah Goldstein) or at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2075472&id=1216741875 (by Theo Hong)<br />
<br />
There remains one question, though. Why 599 cups?<br />
<br />
It's simple; 600 would have been too many. <br />
<br />
The hall (including RA Blaise) proceeded to make a few other uses of those same cups until the end of session, as detailed on the [[Hall:LAN#10.2_M.C3.BChlenberg_2|Hall page]].<br />
<br />
===Astro Vs. Pbio===<br />
<br />
Vienna Harvey and Liz O'Neill took Paleobiology together in 2009. In 2010, they signed up for Astronomy together. This act led them to be declared traitors by Richard, the Pbio TA. After a few days of continued taunting and argument over which class was better, Richard challenged the Astronomy class to an Astro-Pbio Ultimate Frisbee game, which would continue until second Thursday. On this day, the winning class would have first choice of seats on the shared bus for both class field trips to the Smithsonian. Astro won, 6-2.<br />
<br />
For a while after the field trip there was relative peace between the rival classes, although the Astro students were clamoring to play a prank on Pbio. Finally, Astro TA Lauren agreed. The Pbio classroom was invaded by binocular-weilding astronomers who wrote "THE ROMULANS ARE COMING!!!!" on the chalkboard, thoroughly confusing the Pbio kids, who were ignorant of such higher ideas. Richard challenged Lauren to a break-key match, and won, but everyone knows that was just a matter of luck, and no indication of Pbio's superiority (which is, of course, a ludicrous idea. As Vienna and Liz told Richard, in 2009 Pbio was better because Vienna and Liz were in it. In 2010, Astro was better, for the same reason).<br />
<br />
Pbio retaliated by taping astrology charts to the door of the Astro classroom. Much to the annoyance of the students, Astro teacher Jason refused to let them play further pranks on Pbio. Instead, the Astro class resorted to ignoring Pbio's prank entirely--it was so bad it didn't even deserve recognition.<br />
<br />
In 2011, at least two of the Astro girls plan to attend Pbio. Stay tuned...!<br />

===DO THE MUFFIN...BOOM!===<br />
<br />
During the second Acting Improv of 2011.1, Yida Cai asked the sphinx a seemingly ordinary question: "O, great and mighty Sphinx...Do you know the Muffin Man?" The sphinx responded, "Do the muffin man." Because of the potential sexual interpretation of this answer, [[User: knight7770|Alex Kohanski]] turned to [[User: Ajay|Ajay Nadig]] and said "It's a dance!" Then, on a spot to the side of the Acting Improv circle, they proceeded to choreograph a simple, but beautiful dance.<br />
<br />
[http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/268359_2281462115002_1202283438_32733129_7172265_n.jpg Picture of Ajay and Kohanski doing the muffin for the first time]<br />
<br />
Within the next week, the muffin became a meme around the quad, making its way into [http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/282602_2281643759543_1202283438_32733743_1329179_n.jpg numerous breakdance circles (Ajay and Kohanski pictured)] and Acting Improv jokes. Kohanski and Ajay were astounded to find random people doing the dance they had created. The Muffin was performed to numerous songs, especially the Nyan Cat song. It is likely that a dance of such calibre will persevere throughout the ages. <br />
<br />

=== Breakfast Congratulations ===<br />
<br />
One seemingly normal morning as CTYers walked in for breakfast a few people noticed an at first, small camp made up of a few Alcovians sitting in front of the main doors just outside of the arches. At first their intentions may have been unknown, but as people entered the dining hall applause followed. Soon more people began joining their humble, applauding camp and the group of CTYers expanded to continue their approval of fellow CTYers' choice of eating breakfast through applause. This continued, even towards a few campers attending the soccer camp (notorious for [http://i.imgur.com/YybpG.jpg spelling]), until one of the Lancastrian administrators disbanded the now bustling group of CTYers.<br />
<br />
===RACCOONS===<br />
<br />
"You could cut the sexual tension in this room with a knife". These were the words used by a CTYer to describe the Philosophy of Mind class in 2011.1. The girls in this class, along with some of the ladies in HDIS B were united under Jen, the hottest (female) RA on campus, in the hall that infamously became known as the Raccoons. Some offenses of these rowdy kids were walking around shirtless, taking group showers, and too much "boy talk" during hall meetings. Many Raccoons chose not to sleep at night, and instead talked through walls, or called their male friends in Schnader/Thomas. While this behavior was not okay with the SRAs, the Racoons used their good looks and seductive charm to get away with everything. They were best known for their classy and straight to the point chant, yelled whenever entering a formal event, of "Who are we? Raccoons! What do we want? Boys! When do we want them?! NOW!" Some other favorite raccoon activities included excessive PDA in the canoodle bushes, napping during class, and the stalking of a certain Joseph Curran. And occasionally Christian. And everyone else. Oh and making friendship bracelets.<br />
<br />
===Za or Pizza Time===<br />
The song Za, a staple of the 11.1 Session was actually first introduced in the 10.1 session by one, Paul Quigley, who had showed it to his Theo.B hall as a song that he made himself with a friend back home. It was kept mainly under wraps during 10.1, mostly only known to the Theo and Code.C halls who shared it with glee. However, during 11.1, the song was revived by Sam Fishman, a zombie nomore who had been in Quigley's Theo.B class the year before. Fishman spread it through the current Theo.B class to the Alcove, where it took on a new life and was celebrated every day at 6:09, known as "Pizza Time" by being sung by the entire Alcove. The song became so popular, that a petition was sought to try and get it played at the dance, though the song was completely NSFW, Fishman created a SFW version on his computer using intense music magic and played it for SRA John Moses, who then approved it for use at a dance. Unfortunately, it never was played at a dance, but was sung by Fishman and Rudy Garcia at an open-mic night held at one Quad Time session.<br />

===The Worst Story Ever Written===<br />
<br />
Having been imported by Mullin, the reading of the worst thing ever written. Trumping the previously '''Worst Story Ever Written''', ''My Immortal'', ''Metroid High School'' took the throne. Lacking a logical plot and simple grammar, it was concluded that this fan-fiction was created by the Worst-Author-Ever-To-Have-Existed or the Best-Literary-Troll-Ever-To-Have-Existed. The plot of a high school drama revolved around the characters of the game '''Metroid'''. The story was read throughout LAN.11.1 and an audiobook was found and replaced the reading. Here is a link to the first chapter.<br />

==2011.2==<br />
<br />
===The "Anonymous Box"===<br />
<br />
At the end of 2011.2, a number of campers made a prefabricated, person-sized tinfoil box with which to prank RA Jeff Sachs. On the last full day of the session, Jeff opened the door to his room to a small tinfoil room that was constructed out of tinfoil. He made his way through a small opening into a second tinfoil room, filled with paper hearts and plastic cups (a reference to the 599 cups prank). It took roughly eight hours to premake the tinfoil sheets, and about three hours to assemble. The prank name comes from the fact that, the day before, Jeff received a miniature version of the prank in the form of a small tinfoil box filled with paper hearts. Not knowing what to do with it, he taped it to the wall beside his door and called it the "Anonymous Box," unaware that the box he received would foreshadow the later prank.<br />
<br />
===Chesterqcarter===<br />
<br />
The man... the myth... the legend.<br />
<br />
On July 17, an unassuming CTYer boarded the train to Lancaster. Unbeknownst to him, a fellow CTYer was in the same train, and noticed his many lanyards. Recognizing him from the previous year, she excitedly texted her friend, who, meaning to type "Is his name Chester or Carter?", typoed "Is his name Chesterqcarter?" instead. Thus, the CQC fanclub was born, and grew rapidly during LAN 11.2, comprised mainly of Pop Culture girls. His fans were especially excited whenever he was spotted with his top hat or pedo bear, which he most often had at the dances and Acting Improv, respectively. When he was spotted, his fans would shout "CHESTER-Q-F**KIN-CARTER!". A great time was had by all, and the fanclub continues to carry out its duties through the medium of Facebook.<br />
Chesterqcarter's given name is neither Chester nor Carter.<br />
<br />
It is also worth noting that Chester Q. Carter has become a session 1 position as of 12.1.<br />

===Ghosts of the Quad===<br />
On CTY Halloween, during quad time, two mysterious figures in white ran out of Thomas hall and throughout the quad. At one point, they even danced at the dance show that was occurring at the moment. Their attempts to haunt the quad were repeatedly foiled by a (asian!) Ghostbuster who chased right back to where they came from. No ghost sightings have been reported since...<br />
<br />
Ok, you wanna know the truth?<br />
<br />
Kenjiro Lee decided it would be funny to prank the entire quad by dressing up as a Ghostbuster and chasing his two friends, David Hsu and Kevin Chen, around the quad. It proved really effective. And we got a good laugh because no one stopped us for running. Ok, maybe one guy tried to, but he figured out what we were doing and just laughed it off.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Neil "Soggy Raj" Limaye===<br />
During the second dance of the session, there was a slow dance going on. Neil entered into a slow dance circle. Samantha Ngan, the future Muse, put her hand on his back and exclaimed that Neil was, in fact, very soggy. Neil, not offended by this remark, took over the title of Soggy. From that point onward, Neil was forever known as Soggy. That's how Neil inherited his first nickname. His second nickname came through two sources. The first source was from the current Jester, Noah Goldstein. Noah Goldstein always had to correct himself when addressing Neil because he always wanted to say "Hello Raj". Upon telling him about this, it was greatly complimented and told to Noah that he was the only one in the entire site who could call him Raj on a regular basis. The second source was from a couple of his friends including Gina Foley. During a weekend hangout in Schnader lounge, he asked them which Big Bang Theory character he was most like. They all replied with Raj. Soon, everyone was calling Neil Raj along with Soggy. Upon saying his final goodbyes to both his friends at CTY and CTY itself, many people said goodbye by saying "Stay Soggy, Raj."<br />
<br />
Written by Neil. I love CTY and I love all of you guys so much.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Because Neil is awesome, his nickname is also written as "Sogieq".<br />

During lunch one day in the Alcove...<br />
<br />
"What's brown and sticky?"<br />

===I feel nauseous===<br />
During the stretch of time between dinner and study hall the evening of Second Sunday, a certain nomore girl named Jackie Liu felt particularly uneasy. This, however, did not stop her from socializing with her beloved friends, such as Venya Mayokovsky-Guschin. Venya, known for his rather intimate gestures of greetings, got in such close contact with Jackie that their bodies pressed together, and their faces were mere centimeters apart. His eyes bore lustfully into hers, but she couldn't help but to feel slightly sick. Perhaps it was due her unsettling hormones, or maybe it was a result of the amount of snacks from Turkey Hill she consumed during the preceding hall bonding. Although she adored Venya deeply, she said exactly as she felt: "I feel nauseous". Venya forwarded this gesture of intimacy with his fellow campers by greeting his friends with tender strokes on the cheeks and a hint of a kiss, soon followed by the same phrase, whispered sensually. Not long after, many a campers seemed to share a common sense of nausea while greeting each other.<br />
<br />
===The Gangly Gang===<br />
It all started with an awkward squirrel. This child (whose name is forever lost to the winds of time) asked Danny McClanahan where to find John Boysen. Danny being the quick-witted smartass he is, he answered "the gangly white kid who's not me or Venya," as Venya Mayakovsky-Gushchin walked up beside, resulting in great hilarity. This, after it was immediately communicated to JBoysee, became an inside joke on the scale of "also me," referred to many times throughout the session by campers of all ages. At one point (details are fuzzy (fuzieq <3) on this part), JBoysee had the brilliant observation that the group had become a sort of gang, which was denoted "the Gangly Gang." Danny then noted that this could totally be a 90s TV show. Since 90s TV shows always have ridiculous theme songs, a theme song was then improvised, which created a conga line of finger-snapping, from the dining hall all the way to the doors of North Ben. Neil being Neil, he intervened, and his charm and good looks quickly won over the Gangly Gang despite his overabundance of melanin and substandard height. From then on, the Gangly Gang referred to themselves as "the Gangly Gang (also Neil)." This continued until the final day, when Bryn Hammarberg, a onemore, was chosen as the successor to the Gangly Gang (fun fact: Bryn is the first member of the Gangly Gang without a distinctive hat), uniting gangly white kids to toe the line between awesome and facepalm-worthy. It is not known whether this shall continue for years to come.<br />
<br />
===Also Jonah===<br />
Saturdays where you need to Lancaster session 2. Like all sessions in Lancaster, they were filled with complete freedom, where the only obligation was going to the dance at 7:30 PM. During this time, a lot of the alcovians hung out in Schnader lounge. What they did there was something that no other session ever did. It was called couch time with Noah, Theo, and Jonah. It was like a radio show, but live and in person and in front of the audience. The thing about the show was that a lot of the times, Noah would be the one who was talking and most of his stories would be about his escapades with Theo. Jonah, feeling a little bit left out, would sometimes interject with "Also Me" to keep some of the direction that directed towards him. This became very popular throughout the campus, and people were saying "also me" in honor of him and to get their point in and to be included during multiple conversations. Even at the talent show, right after Noah Goldstein's performance, Jonah went up to the mic and said "also me". This became a very popular but also a very repetitive saying throughout the campus. This will forever be immortalized through the Internet.<br />
<br />
===Morty the Childsaur===<br />
A social experiment occured where Grace Kennedy and some others from her hall in South Ben (2A) placed a dinosaur with a baby head, who is and was affectionately called "Morty", around campus and watched what happened. Some people were rather violent, and did things like kicking and throwing the childsaur. Others showed their love for Morty by taking pictures/videos, praying to him, leaving him offerings, and even things like hugging and kissing the adored childsaur. Many people enjoyed seeing this friendly creature around campus. He was mentioned in many conversations and the occasional AI. Morty returned with Grace for her final two years of CTY, LAN 13.2 and LAN 14.2. We love you, Morty!!! <3. Morty returned yet again at lab 16.2, this time under the possession of camper Alex Burnside.<br />

===Tennis Campers Showdown===<br />
A rather interesting event took place during the Last Supper, but was not the Last Supper itself. <br />
<br />
Girls from the nearby tennis camps had joined CTYers for dinner, much to their dismay at CTY PDA. Most of them were in the KiVO line, where CTYers Derek Kim and Gustavo had engaged in conversation with said tennis campers, due to the conundrum of the KiVO line. One girl reportedly proclaimed, "Touching others are gross!" and "Touching someone spreads sooo many germs!" Derek and Gustavo, understandably irritated, proceeded to shake hands, hug, and bump fists, much to the girl's disgust. After stating that even KISSING was somewhat sinful, Derek, (the beast he was) told the girl that "you obviously haven't had a significant other in your life before." <br />
<br />
The girl was clearly offended. She turned to her fellow campers, claimed that tennis campers had more tradition, and chanted something along the lines of, "I feel so good, oh I feel so good, HUH!" <br />
<br />
By that time, many other CTYers had gathered around the commotion. Derek, Gustavo, and Andrea Tsao started screaming Afterdance chants. They picked up by every CTYer around. The overall noise was so loud that a CTYer inside their dorm claimed to hear it from the 3rd floor of North Ben. <br />
<br />
After the incident was broken up by RAs, the participating campers then proceeded to join the Last Supper traditions that were taking place. <br />
<br />
While being outside for the Passing of the Duck, the tennis campers passed by, chanting their "I feel so good" chant among jeers and other derogatory comments, and responded with the CTY chant. CTYers faced this with the utmost dignity and pride in their nerdiness.<br />
<br />
That is all.<br />

===Fanhammer===<br />
<br />
The Fanhammer is a large hammer made from cardboard boxes wrapped neatly in grey duct tape, with a band of glow-in-the-dark duct tape wrapped around the base of the handle. It also has a duct-tape wrist loop at the end of the handle, which requires frequent repair. It is quite sturdy and is a viable weapon for bopping people with. The holder of the Fanhammer is a position usually given to a two-more, passed down very unofficially at some point near the end of the session. The hammer was created by the hall of Max Franklin during 12.2, and the hammer was given to him to hold the following year, bearing the name "Mjolnir". Since then it has been customary for the holder of the Fanhammer to re-dub it with a name of their own choice. The holder of the hammer should carry it around during the session and use it to affectionately whack other CTYers. Recent legend has it, that as of April 16, 2017, a co-fanhammer will be instated, who, according to a legend, may carry around a duct tape nail to compliment the spirit of the Fanhammer.<br />

===Sherlock Reenactment===<br />
On several occasions during the first session, Milan Wolff stood on the Schnader Ledge in a complete Sherlock (of the television show) cosplay (unfortunately lacking Benedict Cumberbatch's voice), and reenacted Sherlock's scene on the hospital building at the end of Season Two. Often, an Alcovian would act as John, and they would complete the dialogue for the scene a few times. Due to an indestructible Nokia, Sherlock's act of throwing his phone dramatically aside could also be included. Due to shrubbery, The Fall could not truly be reenacted, which was lamentable indeed.<br />
<br />
==2013.2==<br />
<br />
===House Cup===<br />
During the second session of 2013, the RAs decided to split the different halls into four different magical houses, as described in the legendary ''Harry Potter'' series by J.K. Rowling. This prompted students to begin to make posters for their respective houses along with various large drawings adorned on open walls. For instance, the Ravenclaws of North Ben had a notable war with the Slytherins as they tried to outcompete each other with tape drawings of snakes and ravens. <br />
As for the actual competition, points were awarded to halls that were able to get to bed before lights out (Note: This feat was incredibly difficult to accomplish for obvious reasons, and thus points were rarely awarded for this reason), CTYers who displayed exemplary sportsmanship and kindness to their fellow CTYers, cleaning up plates in the dining rooms for friends, and other actions deemed points-worthy. <br />
Along with the competition, during the second week, the RAs planned a ''Harry Potter'' themed fair where campers had the chance to concoct potions with Snape (although these were not advised to be consumed, containing strange colorful liquids such as vinegar and baking soda that bubbled pleasantly when combined), create wands at Ollivander's, test their ''Harry Potter'' trivia knowledge, drink Butterbeer, and mass-marry their friends. <br />
The winners of the House Cup were announced at the Talent Show, along with the winners of various other competitions including the Ultimate Frisbee tournament, tennis tournament, Egyptian Rat Screw tournament, and soccer tournament. The campers who had attended all of the Fitness Bootcamp activity sessions were also given an award for their amazing dedication to physical fitness. Finally, much to the campers' surprise, the winning house was announced - Gryffindor! The announcement was greeted by much fanfare from the winning house, whose halls were subsequently awarded by being allowed to leave the Talent Show earlier than the other houses.<br />
<br />
===Edible Forks Return===<br />
Many older CTYers had been upset that the Kivo forks were no longer cornstarch-based, and thus no longer "edible." They now used a set of black plastic utensils that were not often recycled. (However, the black spoons were harder to mistake for the white spoons used in Blammo, which could have been a small advantage.) The CTY Admins and RAs designated a day to celebrate all birthdays occurring during the three weeks of CTY, and thus brought in an enormous vanilla and chocolate cake to be shared with all CTYers. And lo and behold, the edible biodegradable forks made a reappearance, prompting many young CTYers to attempt to consume the cornstarch utensils.<br />
<br />
===Television Crews' Arrival===<br />
The session was particularly special because a group of intellectually talented students from Greece arrived at camp for a part of the scholarship they received from CTY. The campers immediately assimilated themselves among the other CTYers, many becoming popular with the campers especially because their arrival prompted television crews to come in and videotape certain classes.<br />
<br />
==2014.1==<br />
<br />
===Unpause===<br />
The Unpause was a "family-friendly neighborhood language cult" formed the first Saturday of 14.1 by [[User:Qatarina|Katrina Howard]], Sophie Feldman, Nico Vallone, and Matisse Peppet. Nico started calling Katrina "Qatarina" (like the country) to annoy her; some conversation and a grammar mistake later, a list of rules had been created and passersby were being asked to introduce themselves. The rules were dubbed "The Unpause Clause" and are as follows:<br />
<br />
1. No plural<br />
<br />
2. All name country<br />
<br />
3. May or may not article<br />
<br />
4. No tense<br />
<br />
5. Occasional Spanish<br />
<br />
6. No French...EVER<br />
<br />
7. Qatarina have 7 oil<br />
<br />
8. All hail 8 spade<br />
<br />
9. qaTARina<br />
<br />
10. 10 rule<br />
<br />
By dinner, more than thirty people (including multiple staff members) were circled up outside of South Ben, chanting the rules. New people would be pulled in with shouts of "Introduce!" and "Name?"; their name would then be turned into a play on the name of a country (e.g. "Lily" might become "Lilthuania"); each person would introduce themself by their country name; the rules would be stated; if the person desired clarification of any rules, the rules would be explained; and then the Death Pop Quiz ("Death if and only if fail. No wish fail; therefore many generous hint if necessary.") would take place. The quiz consisted of the new cult member stating a specific rule. The explanations of rules generally followed the same pattern:<br />
<br />
1. No plural: all noun singular<br />
<br />
2. All name country: have country, like Qatar; mesh with name. Country name only name in Unpause--may not use pause name<br />
<br />
3. May or may not article: Unpause have free speech, so give choice. "A," "an," and "the" may be use or be omit, according to desire. All part speech (like preposition, conjunction, pronoun) may omit as well.<br />
<br />
4. No tense: verb not have tense. Use shorten infinitive. Example: Nicoragua be not good at use rule four. Use "be" since infinitive be "to be."<br />
<br />
5. Occasional Spanish: self-explanatory.<br />
<br />
6. No French...EVER: nothing against France or French culture, food, or people. Not even dislike language. Just use of French language prohibited.<br />
<br />
7. Qatarina have 7 oil: Qatarina come from Qatar. Qatar in Middle East, have much oil--7 oil. Nicoragua have 3 oil. Maltese have half oil. Sophinland have .7 oil. Amount oil roughly depend real world, geography. No one have more than 7 oil. <br />
<br />
8. All hail 8 spade: *hold up 8 spade card* 8 spade be deity. <br />
<br />
9. qaTARina: on pronunciation of Qatarina's name. Pronounce country name override pronounce pause name<br />
<br />
10. 10 rule: there be 10 rule. <br />
<br />
A few other notes: <br />
<br />
* The day Unpause was born, Matisse had drawn the seams and buttons onto Nico's flower pot, which he had painted blue and pink in a manner that resembled a polo shirt. It is a matter of debate within the founding members whether in the end Matisse or Nico did more work on the flower pot. The polo flower pot became the home of the 8 Spade card. At one point during a slightly homoerotic dorm room scuffle between Nico and his roommate Brady, the pot cracked. In a display of immense skill one breakfast time, Katrina used bright orange duct tape Matisse had lying around to keep it together.<br />
<br />
* All members have an oil count. Everyone (except Qatarina) has less than seven oil. Some people have negative oil. Each person makes up their own amount of oil, roughly based on their country.<br />
<br />
* Rule 6 was unintentionally caused by Ariel Rotter-Aboyoun. On the first Saturday, she was with Matisse, Nico, and Katarina, left to get laundry, and came back the first five rules of Unpause. (the name "Arielgentina" was suggested for her) After hearing rule five, she asked if French was allowed. She was quickly and emphatically told no, and this was declared the sixth rule. Ariel never joined Unpause, and always felt hurt hearing the sixth rule.<br />
<br />
* Rule 7 is based about the 7 oil qatarina have. These 7 oil be olive, peanut, baby, peppermint, lemon, extra virgin olive, and bath. Somewhat purposely leaving out actual oil. <br />
<br />
* Rule 8 came into existence because it was decided that the cult needed an object to worship, so the four founders brainstormed. Matisse happened to have an eight of spades that had been used as a straightedge for the drawing of a seam on the polo flower pot. Since it was a ruler, it only seemed fitting to declare it a deity.<br />
<br />
* Rule 10 was suggested by David May (country name Dåland, but usually called Davemark to annoy him) when the four founders were looking for a tenth rule to round out the number of rules they had.<br />
<br />
Unpause meetings were held daily before morning class. The Unpause doctrine grew more sophisticated, like cavemen doing the first crude cave drawings. A list of clarifications, written on the second Sunday without regards to any grammar, is as follows: <br />
<br />
* allowed to remove any words so long as the gist of the meaning is able to be understood<br />
<br />
* no disruptive unpauses<br />
<br />
* allowed to use any language so long as it is not French and is occasionally Spanish<br />
<br />
* French words adopted into English are neither condoned nor condemned<br />
<br />
* if a noun is always plural, use a synonym<br />
<br />
* if a word is both singular and plural, add "ie" to the end (e.g. one deerie, two deerie) <br />
<br />
* dueling protocol: if one does not accept apology or gets into other trouble, one may request a duel. Both people play ninja, frisbee (every time successful throw, one step back), thumb war, or 10 pace pistol. If cannot agree-- 10 pace pistol. Death = intense humiliation from everyone present.<br />
<br />
* after introduce-> polite clapping<br />
<br />
* all 8 spade hailworthy <br />
<br />
* country pronounce overrule name pronounce<br />
<br />
Saying "unpause" (or being in "the unpause") means one is then required to speak according to the Unpause Clause; conversely "pause" temporarily halts the speaking of the language. Sometimes, after the world had recently been paused, Unpause language would bleed into the pause. This phenomenon was dubbed "Midpause" and could be quite awkward if those being talked to were unaware of Unpause. However, not many people escaped the clutches of Unpause entirely, probably due to the fact that a group of thirty people chanting in unison isn't exactly hard to miss. Several cult jokes were made in Acting Improv and "All hail 8 buzzsaw" (in reference to the glowstringing move) became a joke among a group of people who were not members.<br />
On the second Wednesday, it was decided that an 8 Spade hymn was needed, and, after deciding against parodying the Gloria Patri, the Ode to 8 Spade was born. Sung to the tune of "O Christmas Tree," the lyrics are as follows:<br />
<br />
All hail 8 Spade<br />
<br />
All hail 8 Spade<br />
<br />
Giver of language rule<br />
<br />
All hail 8 Spade <br />
<br />
All hail 8 Spade<br />
<br />
(The) passive seer of our world<br />
<br />
The membership of Unpause ranked in the fifties or sixties by the end of the session. Many members were squirrels, though the cult drew in returners as well. Some people were frightened of Unpause and chose to not join; however, many of these people ended up learning the rules nonetheless. <br />
<br />
There was some talk of creating an Afterdance chant for The Unpause, but sadly, this was not possible due to things.<br />
<br />
On Second Saturday, the carnival was themed International and there was an activity for CTYers to paint their own flags. Sophie and Katrina decided to make an 8 Spade flag in the ten minutes before an Unpause meeting was due to begin. On a section of red butcher paper, an eight of spades design was hastily painted. The flag was very beautiful. After the meeting that day, it was taped to North Ben, outside Nico's third-floor window. The flag was taken down later that day after a no-knock raid by the administration but was glorious while it lasted. For some reason, the SRA refused to believe that Nico did not, in fact, open his window (and thus violate window-opening rule) but rather scaled the building to hang the flag. The SRA failed to recognize that in order to take the flag down, the window would have to be opened.<br />
<br />
Unpause faced religious persecution once, during an afternoon meeting on Second Saturday. A girl with an aluminum foil scythe came over to the meeting and mimed murdering half of the circle while a story about eggplants was being told. Politely enduring this genocide, Unpause turned the other cheek until the girl was satisfied with her rampage and skipped away. The remaining members then tuned back into the riveting narrative being told by Brodeman Empire (Brady Itkin).<br />
<br />
Also on Second Saturday, it was learned that Samanada had received a new, fluffy puppy named Tater. The girl's iPhone was passed around the circle so that everyone might see a picture of the newly named Taterland (like Ireland; fitting because of the potato association). It was decided that Taterland was the mascot of 8 spade as well as the president of Nepal (where no potatoes grow). A duel that day consisted of the Bradaman Empire (Brady Itkin) and Nicoragua (Nico Vallone) filibustering on the topic of Taterland as the president of Nepal. The one who talked longest without messing up a rule of The Unpause Clause won. Nicoragua lost the duel.<br />
<br />
Nicoragua, despite being a founding member and generally very bad at the grammar, tended to infringe upon the rules very often, which led to many duels. In fact, he was a part of every duel held in Unpause that session . . . and lost every duel. After losing each duel, he 'died': accepting humiliation from each member of the Unpause present one at a time in a hilariously inefficient process.<br />
<br />
On the last Tuesday of the session, the daily meeting was moved to 6:20 PM. Instead of trying to draw in new members, the meeting was focused on rehashing the past. Members were introduced, as were the rules, but then people read the clarifications and sang Ode to 8 Spade. Finally, the four founding members told the story of Unpause from the beginning. When they reached the end of the story, they intended to end Unpause forever.<br />
<br />
However, they were shocked as members began inquiring about the future and there was a movement to continue it in 15.1. In the words of Nicoragua: 'Had no idea that people actually gave shit about Unpause.' To which members replied: 'shit given.' In the few minutes before class began, people interested in doing unpause in 15.1 came forward. No one person was chosen to carry Unpause on; instead, the interested persons formed a council. However, this list was lost and the council did not happen, so instead, Unpause was carried on in 15.1 by Qatarina. <br />
<br />
Unpause carried through during 15.1, when Qatarina held the 8spade and poll flower pot. After the session it was decided by 16.1 nomores to introduce the Unpause rules as an Afterdance chant. Qatarina, who was still in possession, passed the 8spade and polo flower pot down to [[User:Shprinkles|Victanzania]] at MIT Splash! 2015, and created the position of Unpause Priest(ess). It be hope that Unpause continue for many century. <br />
<br />
Unpause carried variable emotional associations. For some, it was a joke; for others, a way of feeling a part of a community; still others felt it was a method for meeting new people; and some even found they cared about Unpause, the stories, and the memories. All hail 8 spade!<br />
<br />
===Unpause Priest(ess)===<br />
<br />
The Unpause Priest(ess) is the person (or people) who holds the polo flower pot and the original holy 8spade of your favorite family-friendly neighborhood language cult, [[Memories:LAN#Unpause|Unpause]]. The Unpause was started in 14.1 by Matisse Peppet, Katrina Howard, Nico Vallone, and Sophie Feldman during the first Saturday carnival, and grew in strength and members throughout the session. During 15.1, Katrina was the only remaining creator who returned. The Unpause kept a low profile, but the spirit remained, and the 16.1 nomores promised to revitalize the cult for the next year as an Afterdance chant. The Priest is responsible for keeping the cult alive and dangerous and beautiful, as it should be. It should be noted that the Priest should not exactly be treated as a position in the traditional sense (for instance, it has never been passed at Passionfruit but rather at an informal ceremony). Rather, one should view the Priest as a democratic leader within the Unpause only (which is clearly the entire world, anyway).<br />
<br />
Priests:<br />
<br />
* 14.1: Matisse Peppet, [[User:Qatarina|Katrina Howard]], Nico Vallone, and Sophie Feldman<br /><br />
* 15.1: [[User:Qatarina|Katrina Howard]]<br /><br />
* 16.1: [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]]<br />
<br />
===Forevermore Videos===<br />
During 1st Week, Kenjiro Lee had the idea to film videos for various Lancaster forevermores he was friends with and put out a Facebook call asking if anyone wanted a message from their friends at Session 1. Needless to say, the response was huge: around 50 people requested videos. Kenjiro managed to get all of them done over the session, with varying degrees of quality (some turned out a little awkward), but others ended up documenting fairly significant parts of 14.1 that otherwise would not have been documented, including:<br />
<br />
* A cover of "Hooked on a Feeling."<br />
* Thomas's "26 Foot Penis" song.<br />
* People singing Anna Sun.<br />
* JIB, Megan, Brady, Sammy, and Spencer inexplicably improvising elaborate stories about Kenjiro.<br />
* People seductively eating bananas.<br />
* Kylie, Robby, Ryan, Kenjiro, and Lois staring into the camera for about ten seconds before cracking up.<br />
<br />
===The Sung-Through American Pie===<br />
<br />
The legendary [[Hall of Shame:LAN#Laundry|Laundry Run]] of 13.1 left an outstanding legacy. The night before the last dance of 14.1, there came a knocking at the doors: an ISO check. Realizing the danger, an emergency text send-out to quite a few people prevented a huge ISO bust, but two nomores were caught. As a result, they were banned from attending the last dance, much to everyone's anger. To make up for them missing their last "American Pie," shortly after the Afterdance a group of students led by John Boland formed a circle, threw the two nomores into it, and began belting out "American Pie." Those left on the quad after the Afterdance (almost everyone, actually) soon joined in and the entire thing was performed. It was an emotional moment.<br />
<br />
The ISO check caused some confusion: no one is sure what prompted it, unlike last year where a parent calling the police after not hearing from their child caused the huge bust. The best explanation one can give is it was a result of last year's bust. Their were plans to change the CTY chant to this:<br />
<br />
CTY HAS NICE QUADS<br><br />
CTY WE LOVE YOU<br><br />
ADMIN IMPOSED<br><br />
ADMIN IMPOSED<br><br />
CTY WHAT HAPPENED?<br />
<br />
But then Radhika accidentally shouted "Do your laundry!" and that was the end of that.<br />
<br />
===The Dave===<br />
<br />
The Dave is a session two position created in session 1 of 2014 by [[User:theliteraldave|David May]], who is the eternal session 1 The Dave. It began as a gimmick, because whenever Dave would introduce himself, he would say "Hi, I'm Dave," resulting in someone else chiming in, "He's Dave," and someone else "Yeah he's Dave," "It's the Dave," etc. The Dave, as is written in the The Dave notebook, is given to a person who is best at being themselves, doing whatever they want to do, knowing when it is appropriate to break or bend the rules, who can make a fool of themselves any time of the day through awkwardness, clinical insanity, the need to dance to any song by flailing about, and air-guitaring vigorously to the second half of Stairway to Heaven. Essentially, The Dave is given to whatever onemore has best embodied the OD and the example he set during his time at session 2. The Dave, besides being a position of flaunting your vibrant personality, has a digital watch that is passed down to be worn on lanyards, akin to how the style in which the OD wore it, and a The Dave notebook serving as the doctrine for The Dave's sacred order and detailing the specifics and duties of The Dave, along with the prophecy held sacred to all The Dave's. <br />
<br />
During Lancaster 14.2, [[User:dihalikias| Diana Halikias]] had the honor of being the first non-OD Dave. The entire site quickly learned of this important position, and witnessed an iconic passing-down during 14.2 Passionfruit. Diana first passed The Dave to her fellow nomore [[User:Matias "Mavs" Gonzalez| Matias "Mavs" Gonzalez]], who then returned it to the OD. The OD finally passed it to Drew Hill. The Dave is a position that is passed down with flair each year; in the case of 14.2, it involved Matias as an honorary Dave. <br />
<br />
Daves:<br />
* 14.1: [[User:theliteraldave|David May]]<br /><br />
* 14.2: [[User:dihalikias| Diana Halikias]]<br /><br />
* 14.2.1: [[User:Matias "Mavs" Gonzalez| Matias "Mavs" Gonzalez]]<br /><br />
* 14.2.2: [[User:theliteraldave|David May]]<br /><br />
* 15.2: Drew Hill<br /><br />
<br />
David May is the eternal session 1 Dave.<br />
<br />
The Dave is passed down to a nomore at Passionfruit before being passed to a young onemore PreDave via <s>mating</s> ritual.<br />

===TOPI-B Wild===<br />
<br />
14.2, TOPI-B was a wild class, taught by Brent Krammes with the legendary TA Ruth A. Book (Original Form). The warriors of this class included: John Issac Boland (JIB), Louis Herman (master analyzer of V for Vendetta), Claire Borecki, Angelique Fenton (Mama Fenton), Drew Hill (dsmallmountain), Thomas Godwin (T-GOD), Hannah Hildebolt (hanlax), Annabelle Hutchinson, Andrew Javens (preppy tourist), Mona Lee (mona sa lee), Christian Lillie, Grace Nie (the cute pie), Ellie Taylor, Allison Tielking (tielqueen), and Andrea Tsao. Before this class, all these people were strangers. None of them knew each other at all. From the second night of camp, TOPI-B wild.<br />
<br />
Both halls were the stuff of legends. In the TOPI-B guys' hall, was the Suite. The Suite consisted of Louis Herman, Andrew Javens, Christian Lillie, and John Boland. This was the most attractive suite in history. One night, three members gathered to watch Cow Belles, a Disney original movie starring Aly and Aj. While the other three were watching the movie, the fourth talked to his lesbian S.O. over Skype. A fight club was never ever ever even considered. Not even once. Two students didn't decide to start a bare-knuckles Brad Pitt and Edward Norton style ring. It definitely did not end after one night. It didn't exist, so it totally wasn't the most pathetic fight club in history. Nobody got a black eye. What are you even talking about?<br />
<br />
The TOPI-B girls' hall was, if at all possible, even gayer and wilder. However, due to all the girls being such rule-abiding students, and despite many members of the hall being bisexual (and the rest being pretty heteroflexible), nobody hooked up. Ever. They didn't. Shut up. Several of the girls were eventually barred from the last dance because they were caught having one of their many ISOs (and possibly an incident involving tea leaves).<br />
<br />
TOPI-B discovered that birthmarks don't have to be on your body from birth, and don't have to last more than a few hours (or a few days in the case of the more enthusiastic students), especially those on the neck.<br />
<br />

<br />
===The Whip===<br />
A seemingly harmless dance of the CTY-I Nasty Freestyle by Megan Howard and Catalina Ruiz-Jimenez turned into the dance of the session. They proceeded to do it whenever and wherever to the annoyance of Gene and hardcore CTYers. Megan, who played Columbia in Rocky Horror, did the Whip during the words "He had a pickup truck", which resulted in loud cheers and groans from the crowd.<br />
<br />
===Gene the Gnome===<br />
The Jester, Gene, was a abnormally short man under 5' 6" whose life was turned upside down by Yik Yak. His height was a constant topic of AI and meal time. He was known as a gnome for most of the session which sparked many ideas such as asking the Great Sphinx why he was short, working at a gnome factory during Late to Work, and more.<br />
<br />
This was the feed of Yik Yak at one time:<br />
*GENE THE BEAN DIDN'T GET WATERED ENOUGH AS A SEEDLING<br />
*GENEALINA only exists in Gene's dream<br />
**Genealina was a common ship between Gene and Catalina, a hot One Hit Wonder<br />
*Genetics 101: A Gene at gene will stay at gene unless acted upon by a greater and/or stronger GENE<br />
*Heard on campus: "What did Gene (allegedly) do now?"<br />
*Gene is a bean to the extreme<br />
*Gene is a gentleman and a scholar<br />
*Gene does not have a nice butt<br />
*Get "GENE" off of Yik Yak. We don't need no CTY middle school<br />
*Gene.........is ok?<br />
*Gene is special<br />
*Gene is ok I guess<br />
*Gene's face looks unfinished<br />
*Gene does the CTY challenge<br />
*The weather is awful because of Gene<br />
*Gene jacks off in the shower<br />
<br />
CTY IS LIKE A SECOND HOME, WE EVEN HAVE A GARDEN GNOME<br />
<br />
===Giant Grass Orgy===<br />
One day after dinner during the second week of the session, one-more [[User:cdonegan778|Ciara Donegan]] mentioned to [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]] that she had yet to be in a grass orgy, as her class was almost entirely made up of squirrels and flying squirrels. With the help of other friends, they then went on to call people over and have a grass orgy. Many people attempted to count how many people were there, and although the exact number is not known, approximately 76 people are thought to have participated in what was certainly the largest grass orgy that session, and possibly one of the largest ones to ever happen since the grass orgy of first dance Stairway 14.1.<br />
<br />
<br />
===The Savage===<br />
<br />
The Savage, created by nomore Tekettay Ludvig at LAN 15.1, is a loosely defined position meant to be the "anti-jester". They hype up rap battles, attack people with the Savage pool noodle (an artifact of the position, christened with SKL), and generally try to get people psyched and do savage things. Though the position may seem petty/insignificant, the role of the Savage is supposed to represent courage, individuality and the willingness to stand up to the system. The position was created/declared by Tekettay at the Last Supper, and later passed to maybe-onemore Alex "Chinchilla" Waclawski at passionfruit. While the validity of this position may be in question due to significant opposition, its creation was approved by several of the current position holders. However, at a later date, Alex Waclawski was removed from this position. Tekettay then passed the position of Savage to Trinity Duffield-Pugsley, who had been declared 'the female savage' at 15.1. Trinity Duffield-Pugsley was then unable to attend 16.1, so she passed it onto her best-friend and equally savage partner in crime, Diane Hwangpo. <br />
<br />
(Note: As noted above, there is no official process for the creation of a new position. It is valid if and only if it remains a "thing").<br />
<br />
Savages:<br />
* 15.1: Tekettay Ludvig<br />
* 16.1: Trinity Duffield-Pugsley/Diane Hwangpo<br />
* 17.1: Andrew Budge<br />
* 18.1: Justin Ha<br />
* 19.1: Niko Economos (After Nick Murphy didn’t return)<br />

<br />
The tension between the Blue Mountain Festival summer camp and CTY came to be known as the BMF War. College students attending Franklin & Marshall in the summer also caught onto this war, however the majority of the battles were in between BMF and CTY. This tension was displayed primarily on Yik Yak. Many Yaks changed the BMF abbreviation in order to make fun of the camp, including "bmf: bacon mettuce fomato" and "BMF= Buffalos Must Fuck". The BMF students and college kids grew frustrated at CTY campers constantly blocking the walkways and ended up putting out all their frustrations onto Yik Yak. Some Yaks nearly became threats, in which someone (most probably an RA) replied "Touch my kids and I'll fuck you up", which was greeted with much enthusiasm. At one point, the war nearly came to life when a CTYer Yakked, inviting any BMF camper to fight in front of the Arches at 7:00 PM. The fight never happened, as at that time, study hall at already begun. This camp war goes down as the first camp rivalry to ever have occurred in the history of LAN.<br />
<br />
===Easy Mac===<br />
<br />
An abnormal amount of fire alarms occurred that session. Although not all alarms were thanks to the burning of Easy Mac, it came to be known at AI and site-wide that Easy Mac was the primary reason for all the alarms. The first alarm was not because of Easy Mac. At Weis, someone pulled the fire alarm for an unknown reason the night before the actual fire alarm drill. (Apparently, it was an accident.) The second alarm after the drill was in Schnader after lights out when Helen Zhang forgot to put water in her Easy Mac and the whole dorm was evacuated. Yelling and screaming from the quad could be heard in other dorms. The third alarm was late in the afternoon on Second Saturday. Schnader, again, was the affected dorm. An unknown person burned popcorn and set off the alarms, sending all CTYers in Schnader outside.<br />
<br />
While outside a number of halls began to sing fire related songs until an SRA told us all to "Please stop, some people can sleep right now and will be very mad at you later if you don't let them" after this parodies of fire related songs started to crop up across the quad at a lower volume. Notably Sanna's hall composed CTY Yankee Doodle as follows:<br />
<br />
''Yankee Doodle went to town''<br /><br />
''Riding on a pony''<br /><br />
''Put no water in the bowl'' <br /><br />
''And burned the macaroni''<br /><br />
''Yankee Doodle effed it up'' (this line was originally sung in anger at 11:27 pm with the actual F-word and was repeated to adults with "messed it up" instead. All three ways are acceptable.)<br /><br />
''Keep the water handy''<br /><br />
''Yankee Doodle effed it up''<br /><br />
''Next time just eat candy'' (sometimes sung as "with a glass of Brandy" to imply that only drunk people could mess up easy mac, but this is CTY-I and also doesn't make as much sense.)<br />
<br />
After the popcorn fire drill, a second verse was composed. Helen Zhang herself walked past this, and asked for the entire thing to be sung again so she could get a recording of it.<br />
<br />
''Yankee Doodle went to town''<br /><br />
''Riding on a pony''<br /><br />
''Burnt the popcorn in the bag''<br /><br />
''Just like the macaroni''<br /><br />
''Yankee Doodle effed it up''<br /><br />
''Keep the water handy''<br /><br />
''Yankee Doodle effed it up''<br /><br />
''Next time just eat candy''<br />
<br />
===Netflix and Chill===<br />
<br />
During one particularly memorable game of Freeze at Acting Improv, Ashley Wells received an opportunity to make a joke that would be remembered for centuries. She entered the compromising position set up by the previous scenario's actors, looked up at her partner, and said, "But I thought you said Netflix and chill!" This joke was greeted by enormous applause and laughter and would be repeated in several different AIs, in the Facebook group, and on Yik Yak. This being one of the most notable quotes of the session, Sam Mauro proceeded to pass on the Quotebook position to Ashley Wells.<br />
<br />
===KIVO American Pie===<br />
The last Monday of 15.2, during lunch, there was (as usual) a large crowd gathered in the KIVO section of the dining hall. The radio station playing in the dining hall usually plays songs that your parents would have thought were very cool, and hip, and mostly go ignored by students. However, that fateful Monday, a song known and beloved by all at CTY came on - American Pie. Slowly at first, but quickly gaining traction, CTYers began to sing, and by the first chorus, at least 50-60 CTYers in KIVO, both in line and sitting at tables, were singing along. During the first chorus, almost everyone sang all of the callbacks (complete with a shout of "no orgies" from the Jester, Isaiah Cole and other responsible nomores), but the more explicit words were replaced by "Shh" and "KIVO" shouted instead of "ORGY" during the subsequent verses. (NO KIVO was shouted in confusion at least once per verse) Not only did a large crowd sing around, the lyrics were acted out, with Hannah Hildebolt as Jack Flash, Isaiah Cole as (obviously) the Jester, Dan Rabinovich as Satan, Lucy Danger as the Sacrificial Rite, Patrick Yee and AR Ciccariello as king and queen respectively, and even a marching band and football team. Any object on hand was used for props, including a rainbow duct tape roll to stand in for Fire, and a baseball hat as the thorny crown. By the end, a circle had formed, and linked together to kick along (with the right foot first, of course) to the final chorus. Everyone who was in attendance generally agreed that it was one of the coolest things that had ever happened to them while waiting in line for a quesadilla, and definitely worth losing your previous place in line over.<br />
<br />
===Anna Sun===<br />
<br />
This song was first played at the last quadtime of 14.2, and it was very emotionally compromising for the nomores. At 15.2, it was played at nearly every single dance. Students would congregate in the center in a "Mr. Brightside" way, but instead of grabbing a staff, they all held hands in the middle. It was very emotional and CTY-y. It is the intention of many to make it both session one and session two canon, as it is unofficially canon for session 2 already and was treated as such.<br />
<br />
===Ball Stuck in the Tree===<br />
<br />
The tree near the center of Hartman Green was notorious this session for getting all sorts of things stuck in it. From Frisbee to sticks to water bottles to foursquare balls, the tree devoured any athletic equipment that was thrown at it. This resulted in large portions of every class break time being spent not playing ball sports, but attempting to retrieve the ball. Eventually, a member of the NEURO class got a green foursquare ball was stuck so well that no matter what was chucked at it, it wouldn't budge. After a few days of relentless struggle, (which attracted quite a crowd at each break) the CTYers below had given up all hope. However, mysteriously, the ball appeared one morning at the base of the tree covered in various duct tape with the message "To Neuro, With Love" from Satan (with Satan crossed out and Santa written underneath). This ball was subsequently deemed the class item of NEURO and was taken home by Via Barr to pass to the following year's class.<br />
<br />
===Pride Parade===<br />
<br />
The session of 15.2 is the first session on record to have a pride parade. The parade, the brainchild of nomore Ele Grant, was a revitalization of the old Love Tape day ideas that centered around LGBT+ awareness. In an effort to bring back the awareness and to host a pride parade for those closeted at home or missing out on other pride parades, the parade was birthed. It was planned by Ele, Rosemary Wonnell, Hannah Hildebolt, and Lucy Danger, who headed an activity called "Pride Parade planning" to make duct tape flags for participants to carry around. The actual parade was held between dinner time and study hall on Love Tape day. It garnered around 50 campers, who marched around the quad holding their flags, blowing bubbles, and shouting four chants: "CTY has a gay butt, CTY we love you, forevermore, forevermore, CTY we love you," "She's beauty, she's grace, she's really really ace," "G is for gender, that's good enough for me, G is for gender, that's good enough for me, G is for gender, that's good enough for me, oh gender gender sexuality!," and lastly, "Things are so gay, but they could be gayer!" Two of chants are variants of afterdance chants, one chant is a pop culture reference, and one is a play on an activity that had happened that week. The parade only lasted ten minutes or so, but was hugely successful. The nomores of 16.2 plan to repeat the parade the next year, and to hopefully keep it going.<br />
<br />
==2016.1==<br />
<br />
===SKL Easy Mac===<br />
<br />
During the third week of camp, [[User: Brick|Oliver "Brick" Reinhardt]] was quoted saying, "has anyone ever made SKL with easy mac?" Naturally, he decided to test the inverse of this inquiry (that is, easy mac with SKL), and with the help of Drew Genuit he brought to life his vision during lunch on third Tuesday. The easy mac was left on a table in KIVO and all were invited to try. Upon taking a bite, the easy mac was discovered to be a mix of cheesy and sugary, and it was generally accepted to be frankly quite disgusting.<br />
<br />
===Scalene Triangles===<br />
<br />
As CTY sessions go, there is always at least one meme that defines a large amount of jokes made in those three weeks. For this session, it was the scalene triangle who took prevalence over all other contenders. The staff would look away in shame as campers would continually make sex noises that seemed to come from the actions of a certain trigonometric element, though it became harder to ignore as their voices steadily got louder and more erotic (driving many an asexual camper away from the alcove for a time). The scalene triangle was recited all over campus throughout the three weeks and never lost its glory and luster, despite the increasingly disturbed groans that came from many who had heard it a time too many.<br />
<br />
===Camping on the Quad===<br />
On the morning of the second Sunday, campers who went to breakfast were greeted by an unfamiliar sight- a bright green tent set up on the quad. Those who bothered to look inside found that there were six people inside the tent, wearing pajamas, surrounded by sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets, and eating food pirated from the dining hall. [[User:Ariel|Ariel Uy]], [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]], [[User:Buzzsaw|Sophia Hager]], [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]], Ciara Donegan, and Lily Dondoshansky would only explain that the tent belonged to the Collective. A very tired-looking Deb the RA (who may or may not have made a deal with admins to not have check-out duty for the rest of session) was supervising the tent (and may have left for a few minutes to catch pokemon). It is unclear as to how long the nomores spent in the tent.<br />
<br />
===Pokemon Go===<br />
The release for Pokemon go happened to be during first session. Thereafter, for the rest of session, campers (and sometimes RAs) would often be seen wandering around campus attempting to locate elusive pokemon. These players often formed marauding bands working together for a common goal, since once the location of a pokemon was found, others would flock to the spot in the hopes of also obtaining it. This single-minded determination became the subject of a few AI jokes, and also created by necessity a hall announcement that ran somewhere along the lines of "Pokemon Go is fun! Please don't leave the areas you're supposed to be in to get new pokemon though." A Pokemon Go activity was formed, and numerous halls' bonding activities consisted of looking for new pokemon. The madness went so far that some campers actually started playing Pokemon Go when the Pokemon Theme played at the last dance.<br />
<br />
===Pride Parade .1===<br />
Inspired by the work by Ele Grant and Rosemary Wonnell, CTYers Will and Annie decided to bring a pride parade to session 1. A rained-out planning activity caused an impromptu poster making session to be held in Schnader lounge on second Saturday and another one outside Thomas on Sunday. A lacrosse stick (that had only been in use for two hours ever) was decorated by Annie with rainbow duct tape on the stick and an assortment on duct tape at the top, and given to Will to lead the parade with. The parade was a success with chants being borrowed from the 15.2 parade including a new one "If you're gay and you know it [clap your hands, stomp your feet, shout out loud]". At the end of the parade the staff (dubbed the Gay Lord Staff) was passed down to onemore Grace Finlayson to continue the tradition next year. At the end of 17.1 it was given to Maya Spencer to carry on the Pride Parade during 18.1. <br />
<br />
Session One<br />
<br />
* Pre 16.1: [[User:annievail9|Annie Gleiberman]]<br />
* 16.1: [[User:melondad|Will McClelland]]<br />
* 17.1: Grace Finlayson<br />
* 18.1: [[User:Mspencer|Maya Spencer]]<br />
* 19.1: [[user:Lauraseth|Laura Seth]] (after [[user:Caroline Huber|Caroline Huber]] was unable to return)<br />
<br />
===Hamilton Sing Along===<br />
After the Hamilton craze, RAs ? and ? created a Hamilton activity. There was a lot of excitement around this activity. As RAs prepared the playlist for sing along, a long line of fans were left on the quad, some toting Hamilton books or wearing t-shirts. Jordyn and Maggie started singing and soon the whole line was joined in a rousing rendition of the opening song, Alexander Hamilton. Everyone kept singing after the first song. We were half way through “My Shot” when the activity started. (There is footage of this on the Iris Documentator account).<br />
<br />
=2016.2=<br />
<br />
===The Bee Movie===<br />
After a game of Half-Life in AI required the actors to act out the plot of the bee movie went terribly wrong (none of the actors had seen the movie), a slight obsession of The Bee Movie was spawned. A later game of Half-Life ("escaping from quarantine") devolved into a student twerking while reading bee movie fanfiction, to the delight of all onlookers.<br />
<br />
===Spicy Big Dads===<br />
Nomores Rosemary Wonnell and Caroline Shea bought matching shirts for twin day that had the words "SPICY BIG DAD" written on them. These shirts brought them much attention and quickly became a meme.<br />
<br />
===Linguistics vs. Logic-b===<br />
A feud rooted in sidewalk illustrations. The classes would often shout out "LOGIC B!" and "LINGUISTICS!" during the afterdance, and would feign dislike for each other. <br />
<br />
===Watch Asher Flail===<br />
One activity involved watching RA Asher play Just Dance 4. It was incredible.<br />
<br />
===Formation===<br />
An activity to learn Beyonce's choreography to Formation turned into so much more when it was performed at the second Saturday dance. Lots of cheering and screaming "EMMA JOHNSTON I LOVE YOU!!!" ensued. <br />
<br />
===The Satan Are You Crying Club===<br />
<br />
This session, a group of campers from various courses (there were always students from Paleobiology and Astrophysics) gathered in the KIVO Alcove to read aloud horrible fanfiction, including "She wants the B," "Donkey, please," and, most prominently, "My Immortal." They would sit at what was known as the Gayble (gay + table), a long rectangular table, and pass around one camper's phone to read aloud a horrible fanfiction, which was almost always "My Immortal." They called themselves the Satan Are You Crying Club in reference to "My Immortal."<br />
<br />
===The Last Dance===<br />
During the last dance, RA Viv played Sweatshirt by Jacob Sartorius, which quickly evolved into a rick roll. However, that rick roll turned into the John Cena theme song to the delight and surprise of the campers. The last dance also featured another performance of Formation, and of course, Anna Sun. <br />
<br />
===Canon Additions===<br />
16.2 had a camp-wide canon vote to introduce new songs and consolidate old songs into canon. Anna Sun by Walk the Moon was voted into canon, as was Iris and Always.<br />
<br />
===Communism===<br />
Casey Waite.<br />
<br />
=2017.1= <br />
<br />
===Admin===<br />
With the arrival of a new site director from JHU, Lancaster 17.1 faced the challenge of dealing with incompetent admin. Nomores found themselves submitting lists of activities after the RAs lost the old one (Bad Acting Appreciation was entirely omitted from the session, much to everyone's disappointment), writing two four-page drafts of the rules of blammo after it was banned from Lancaster, and fixing canon when the wrong versions of songs were played (i.e. Oh L'Amour). The admin situation put something of a damper on the session for a lot of nomores, but they refused to go down without a fight, and in the end, everything turned out okay.<br />
<br />
===First Weekend===<br />
CTYers were told by RAs that Lancaster weekends were too unscheduled. The administration made some activities on the weekend mandatory. There was a competition with different races (like potato sack races). Boy and girl halls combined to make teams. Some halls were very spirited and coordinated colored outfits with war paint.. A few halls started chanting “Rain! Rain!” There was clapping and a few rain dances were attempted but unfortunately for these students, it did not rain.<br />
<br />
===2 Gods, No Masters===<br />
Admin tried to ban blammo because they always like to forget that LAN is not JHU. We didn't let them. Two meetings with admin and two four-page drafts of rules written by .1 gods [[User: sienzala | Sienna Axe]] and [[User:Aidan|Aidan Parker]] (with help from the .2 god, Michael Zhang) later, blammo began on second Thursday instead of the usual first Wednesday.<br />
<br />
===Let It Snow===<br />
The Advanced Fiction class at LAN 17.1 happened to host jester [[User: caseyw8| Casey Waite]]. Much to the delight of literally everyone at camp, he showed his classmates a link to a hella zesty version of Let It Snow that he helped produce. The song became a well-known and beloved anthem, and with the help of onemores Nathan Burke and Josh Hejna, Father [[User:melondad|Will McClelland]] created a sick mix that lead from Let It Snow into Darude's Sandstorm, which was then used for the rave circle at the Second Saturday dance. This remix was played again at the First Saturday dance at 18.1. The original song can be found here: https://m.soundcloud.com/couples-counseling/let-it-snow.<br />
<br />
===3 Kazoo's===<br />
<br />
Camper [[User: Iguessillhavenomore|Elizabeth Hawk]] became a legend one day during lunch. she was asked how many kazoo's she could fit in her mouth and she responded"I have three lets fine out" and proceeded to put all 3 in her mouth and then play them. while they were in her mouth she screamed "this is my greatest life achievement" and "I am a god amongst you peasants".<br />
<br />
===Beezed Out===<br />
<br />
Getting "beezed out" was a popular experience among students that constitutes putting burt's bees chapstick on your eyelids. This was introduced by the Jester Casey Waite. Some were hesitant at first, but eventually most agreed to try it. Beezing out produces a tingling sensation on your eyelids, some would describe it as feeling like your eyelids fell off. May also lead to hallucinations. It lead to frequent AI jokes, a lot of pain amongst students with weaker eyelids, and also to RA Asher stating "there is no more use for coffee, I'll just put some of this stuff on and I'll be awake". It was wild, would recommend 100% if you enjoy masochism and bees.<br />
<br />
===Old Spice?===<br />
<br />
Jack Flash Emily Haase brought Old Spice to camp and proceeded to walk around and whip it out of her pocket asking "old spice?". Old Spice was then brutally murdered by jester Casey Waite* during an acting improv where Emily was being slightly loud, which lead to louder indignation and the accumulation of another Old Spice by the end of the week.<br />
<br />
*I put it out of its misery- Casey<br />
<br />
===The Summoning of Nathan Burke===<br />
<br />
One day during session, Son [[User:Mia024|Mia Hotsuki]] was wondering where [[User:Natan|Nathan Burke]], who made frequent sexual jokes, was. [[User:OwenG|Owen Gao]] claimed that if one said something that could be taken into a sexual context, then Nathan would show up to do so. Onemore [[User:H double J|Hudson Jakubowicz]] said that if someone said "That's what she said", then Nathan would show up. Alexander Huang responded with a statement to which the people replied "That's what she said", and then, Nathan walked into view of the alcove, thus summoning him.<br />
<br />
To simplify: some one made a sexual joke and Nathan showed up therefore summoning him. <br />
<br />
(also note) Nathan and [[User:Iguessillhavenomore|I]] were making death by death quietly at the frozen yogurt machine and when we walked into the alcove everybody started screaming and it was the most confusing and terrifying moment of my life.<br />
<br />
===The Despacito Kid from Mexico===<br />
<br />
On the very first day of LAN 17.1 a wee young lad by the name Ricardo Marrero, or Ricky, became known as the Despacito kid. He walked up to random campers and introduced himself by singing a flawless recreation of the popular Spanish song, Despacito. His fame grew quickly and by the end of week one he was known by everyone aroud campus. His beautiful singing brought many campers to tears as he hit every note with the voice of an angel. Those lucky enough to hear him have said, "I will never hear anything as beautiful again," and, "Aaaayyyyy Caraaaayyyy!" He is also known for his amazing Michael Jackson like dance moves. Long Live Despacito Kid!!!<br />
<br />
===Schlllllorp===<br />
<br />
Enough said.<br />
<br />
===Room 327===<br />
<br />
Those who were on the third floor of South Ben know the legend of room 327 in RA Luke's hall. Legend has it that an odor so powerful that it could be smelled two floors away inhabited that room like a crude beast. The odor, caused by a pair of sandals, became even worse after a camper attempted to defeat the monster with 20 dollars worth of febreeze. Being the extremly kind RA that he is, Luke took pity on the campers and allowed them to move out of room 327. Whatever you do, stay away from room 327.<br />
<br />
===P Bio vs. Physics===<br />
<br />
A particularly loud instructor, lovingly called Rich by his students, always called for his students to congregate at his meeting spot by shouting the infamous call, P BIOooOooOooOoo, only to hear a group of 'terrible' physics students mock him by repeating those hideously provocative words. This back and forth would continue several times. It was said before that the PBIO students retaliated with glitter, however that is false as the glitter (distributed by Anna Johnson, a PBIO student) was strewn about campus for little to no reason other than glitter itself.<br />
<br />
Note: Anna got glitter banned and therefore eliminated a position at second session you heathen!!!!<br />
<br />
===Logan the Cockroach===<br />
<br />
On the 3rd floor of North Ben, two roommates were surprised to induct a third honorary roommate: a cockroach dubbed the name of Logan. Logan was found on the wall one morning and the girls put a clear plastic cup around him and taped it to the wall in rainbow love tape. Surprisingly the cockroach lived for three days stuck to the wall before the girls set him free during quad time in a drain. However Logan's story will live on as pieces of the tape and his souls remain embedded in the wall of Room 310 of North Ben.<br />
<br />
===Waluigi and Macklemore===<br />
<br />
CTY, especially Lancaster, is a place where many already beautiful things are memed into even holier existences of higher greatness, and 17.1 was no different. "Waluigi" (Hallelujah but every time "hallelujah" came up, "Waluigi" was sung instead; an example is "and every breath we drew was WALUIIIGIIIIII") was particularly popular this session, as was "Macklemore" (Oh L'Amour but "Oh L'Amour" replaced by "Macklemore" and "What's a boy in love supposed to do" replaced by "What's a gay in love supposed to do"). During breakfast on last Thursday ("Friday"), when Son [[User:mia024|Mia Hotsuki]] began a rendition of "Waluigi", many campers near her joined in, and the [[Alcove]] was soon filled with sobs and cries of "WAAAALLLLLUUUUIIIIIIIGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIII".<br />
<br />
===Ma'am Your Whole Thrussy Out===<br />
<br />
During the first week of 17.1 at Lancaster, Jennifer June came across a text post from tumblr. The text post goes: Walmart employee: Ma'am, your whole pus*y out. / Me: I know. This meme was then referenced many a time to the 17.1 Logic and Principles of Reasoning class. During the same day, another student in the class, Emily Haase, discovered the '(insert body part) p*ssy?' and then inserting the first letter of the body part to the front of the word p*ssy. This joke originally comes from another tumblr text post about a throat p*ssy, also known as a 'thrussy'. From here, the joke spread around the campus both as 'Ma'am your whole p*ssy out'as well as 'Ma'am your whole thrussy out'. These phrases were not only used as a greeting, but also as a fun comment to make to friends. It was also transformed to 'Ma'am your whole titty out', and was sometimes used when friends wanted to warn each other of what they were wearing or comment on clothing in a more casual comedic way. This joke is especially well remembered in a story about Misah Edwards, who supposedly was overheard saying 'Oh f*ck, my whole titty out'. An RA, upon hearing this asked her to repeat herself. She replied 'My whole titty out?' and the RA said 'No, before that'. Many students at Lancaster 17.1 bonded over this phrase, and it will not soon be forgotten.<br />
<br />
===Family Tree===<br />
<br />
Nullip (Anna and Phil) (or anil?) was widely shipped by the class INBS A. [[User:Genji_deflect|Allen]] came up with the idea of a family tree, resulting in a family encircling Nullip - Allen and Priyanka were the children, Christopher (Spaghetti) was Phil's brother, thus their uncle, with a child called Austin (Salty Churros); Their aunt was Emily, and their other cousin was [[User:Skapasitator|Sara]]. Grandfathers included Edward (KJU Jr) and Andrew, while grandmothers were unknown. Christopher was nicknamed "The Drunk Uncle," due to his constant erotic behavior. Arya was put in the position of family doctor.<br />
<br />
Members of INBS A did not only create a family tree circled around Nullip, but shipped their TA with some of the students' RA. Marcos and Yvonne were shipped as Marvonne. There was even a marriage certificate made for them, which Yvonne threw away, but still was meaningful nonetheless. The class's Snapchat Group Chat continues to be named Marvonne to this day.<br />
<br />
(Editor's note: Part of INBS A shared their hall with the girls in the mostly-nomore class PHYW B, who jokingly shipped Yvonne with the PHYW B guys' RA, Jimmy. Yvonne, I'm sorry many hall meetings ended in an all-out ship-war between Marvonne and Jivonne. We had a blast with you though, and I hope you did too!)<br />
<br />
===The Great Glitter Ban===<br />
A sparkly catastrophe that swept the Lancaster campus into chaos and later resulted in the ban of our beloved glitter started with a girl named Anna Johnson. This girl's strange logic led her to bring a large bag full of tubes of microscopic glitter onto campus. Upon arrival to her dorm room, she taped the bag to her wall and labeled it "Emergency Glitter". Around the very middle of the session, for reasons unknown, she decided to unleash the glitter in its full force. It could have been simply because 'it was time', or perhaps there was truly some unsaid emergency, but its coming was inevitable. Patient Zero was a girl named Lauren Schwartz. In being the first to don a shimmering layer of microscopic glitter, her influence was the driving force behind the glitter's fast spread. Anna and Lauren spent the entirety of quad time for the next few days spreading the glitter to their fellow campers, until a great fraction of the campus sparkled. The term 'getting glittered' became a thing, and soon the RA's were rushing to stop the distribution of the glitter tubes. It was common to get glittered on the head, hair, and one boy laid in the grass and let himself be covered head to toe. While the proclaimed Glitter Goddesses were admired for their fabulousness, they also... "slightly" annoyed staff. Soon glittering was banned, however at some of the dances glitter dealers adamantly kept glittering. The dorm carpets shone! The next year, glitter appeared at the bottom of the list of things banned at CTY. RIP glitter.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Toast and Reid ===<br />
<br />
Session 2 at Lancaster in 2017 was attended by both a student named Reid and a student named Toast. The two shared a resemblance, and within the first day were mistaken for one other several times. However, the majority of cases involved a stranger approaching Reid and addressing him as "TOAST!" Within a week, however, incidents began to accumulate in which Toast was misidentified as Reid. To make things even more confusing, the two could often be seen walking around campus together.<br />
<br />
Session 2 at Lancaster 2017 was also attended by two students who went by the names of Jorian and Leyla. They were self admitted doppelgängers and many couldn't tell them apart, the most notable being their Paleobiology Instructor, Rich. They played tricks such as switching shirts with their names on them and changing name tags. This succeeded in confusing Rich more.<br />
<br />
=== Trash Can Fridge ===<br />
<br />
One hall in Weis decided that they needed to keep their SKL cool. This led to them turning a trash can into a fridge. They would steal ice and salt from the dining hall to keep their fridge cold. Unfortunately, in week two, KIVO Man told them they were taking too much ice and had to stop.<br />
<br />
=== Long Live The Afterdance ===<br />
<br />
It was a rainy day during the third dance in the ASFC and the Afterdance was cancelled. The students tried to push it back into the ASFC(they even stayed in the ASFC in denial until they were kicked out) but were promptly denied and scolded to go back. They all complied reluctantly and were pretty upset about the cancellation of this tradition. During the walk back to the quad, [[User: Nails907|Jake]], Rene, Kate, Emily, and Siona all began the afterdance songs outraged that it had been cancelled. They started to chant "Circle" and got most of the students to join in. They then continued to chant more of the Afterdance during the walk. The chants were out of order and were messed up a couple of times but the students were all enjoying it. After the second chant or so some RAs started to get in on it too. After the CTY chant, the RAs concluded the "Afterdance" by saying "go home nobody loves you". Then they all dispersed into their respective dorms while shouting "Long Live the Afterdance".<br />
<br />
=== KIVO Crashers ===<br />
<br />
The KIVO Crashers are a large group of friends who all aged out together and is one of the biggest group of forevermores in LAN history. They would sit in the back of Kivo and bring 3-5 tables together in order to seat everybody. This group includes; Adela Zhou, Andrea Lim, Andrew Goldberg, Claire Jiang, Daniel Xiao, Eric Shi, Erika Berlik, Jack Silvers, Jackie Lee, [[User: Nails907|Jake Landsman]], Jeffrey Jehng, Kate Eames, Kurt Tio, Lauren Raziano, Angela Qian, Lucas Lin, May Zheng, Mia Chu, Michael Zhang, Nick Kim, Shana Chen, Shreya Joshi, Steven Liu, Thomas Lee, Vincent Ho, and Will Chu. These people bonded solely over CTY and it shows how this program can turn three weeks into a lifetime of friendship.<br />

=== Fanhammmer Legacy ===<br />
<br />
The Fanhammer (look at 12.2) was a position that was handed down at random times during the end of session and did not really mean much at all. When Annie Vail handed it down to Jake Landsman he decided to take this matter into his own hands. Jake would carry the duct tape thor hammer around campus bopping students in the head enough times that it was recognized as an actual tradition. Throughout session more and more people wanted to be thoroughly whacked in the head with this cardboard. He was the first hammer holder to pass it down during passionfruit and thus the tradition has gained much more popularity and became much more than it usually was. For the sake of remembrance, the holders will be restated here in 17.2.<br />

=== Tide Pods ===<br />
<br />
One night in South Ben, the residents were called outside for a building meeting. Everyone was confused about why they were all brought outside and all assumed it had something to do with the Honor Code. However they were then greeted by an SRA who informed them all about vandalism in the dorms. He then threatened them with the installation of cameras in the hallways which they all knew was a lie. The SRA did not specifically say what the vandalism exactly was but they all immediately knew that it had to be one thing, throwing tide pods. Tide pods were used frequently in the dorms as a prank war weapon because it would leave a residue behind and an unpleasant odor. <br />
<br />
As of that day, tide pods became a huge joke in campus. Students would ask around if they threw the tide pods and will respond yes or no regardless if they did or did not. Then, at final AI, the joke was made countless times. Especially in Freeze, where numerous students came up to "DRL Joe" (A student role playing as him) and admitted to throwing the tide pods. However, at passionfruit, at the end of his speech, Noah finally admitted to throwing the pods and everyone cheered him on as he sat back down in contenet.<br />
<br />
=== F*** Admin ===<br />
<br />
In Lancaster 17.2, Administration was not acting as they should have been for this session. They were either too strict in banning and changing traditions or too lenient on things that actually mattered to the students (Like the limits of consent and creating a comfortable safe space). So during passionfruit a common theme was to say "F*** Admin" at the end of the speeches because at that point the students could not be punished for anything they do or say and all nomore/nevermores felt that all staff and students should be aware that admin had made mistakes and needed to change.<br />
<br />
===KSD===<br />
<br />
Every year CTY holds an ultimate frisbee tournament with any campers who want to play. KSD is the legacy team at Lancaster site, the name standing for 'Knock Shit Down' and Milk Money was their rival team over the years. At Lancaster 16.2 Jack Horan passed the position of KSD captain to Luke Teasley however in the event of Luke not returning to CTY Kate Eames became the KSD captain for 17.2. Kate lead her team into the tournament with the KSD speech (Aragorns speech at the black gate). The tournament ended with three teams who had to fight for the win- Milk Money, KSD, and Shell Daddy. [Milk Money beat KSD] then [Shell Daddy beat Milk Money] then [KSD crushed Shell Daddy] After all of this Will Chu (captain of Milk Money) and Kate Eames agreed to call it a tie. The two teams banded together to create, SKL (a team to face the RAs). To cristen the joining of the teams, Kate Eames chugged an entire bottle of SKL.<br />
<br />
=== Joe's man bun ===<br />
In Lancaster 17.2 the DRL Joe would walk around campus rocking his man bun and obviously flaunting it around. The students there then started to joke about what actually was contained inside his luscious hair. These objects included but were not limited to...<br />
<br />
* cocaine<br />
* stainless steel fidget spinner<br />
* rubber duck<br />
<br />
=== Give Me Your Goddamned Money ===<br />
This phrase was uttered many a time by passionfruit Empress Elizabeth Hawk because no one would give her their goddamned passionfruit money. Some of you still owe her that shit. This became a joke during nomore AI because Elizabeth Hawk and Jester Ky were the main participants (on the occasion that no one would participate) so they did as they pleased. <br />
<br />
This was not the only passionfruit joke those include: <br />
Jeffry with: I know you already bought the drinks but can I sign up for passionfruit? answer: NO JEFFREY YOU CAN'T.<br />
And many a younger ctyer with: can (insert number larger than one here) mores sign up? answer: NO YOU CAN'T.<br />
<br />
===Chorgy===<br />
<br />
After the screening of Star Crash, a chorgy (chair orgy)(Note: "Chairgy", which, as an amalgamation of the words chair and orgy, is reminiscent of the "airgy" which also took place between select members of this group, is also acceptable) took place in the very back row of Adams. It very nearly caused some worrisome injuries from the piling of people on top of each other. Members of this legendary chorgy include Colin Ly, Jason Chang, Jeffrey Jehng, Andrew Brose, Kathie Liang, Lucas Lin, Jeffrey Cui, Madeline Lee, Simar Arora, and briefly Simran Sharma and Annabelle Hinks. <br />
Notable events that occurred during this chorgy include:<br />
*the almost-blowjob between Kat and Jeff C.<br />
*the usage of Kat's head as a drum<br />
*the usage of Kat's head as the muse and/or fiend staffs while screaming the lyrics to Mr. Brightside<br />
*the near explosion of Colin's nether regions (Let's try to keep it PG rated here)<br />
*the violation of Kat's poor blanket<br />
*the taking of many, many memorable pictures<br />
*the wearing of Kat's glasses by Jeffrey Jehng and Lucas Lin<br />
*Jeff J.'s poor arms<br />
<br />
=== The Cronch ===<br />
<br />
During the first farmers market trip, a student named Archer purchased an entire head of raw cabbage from a stand. On the way back and throughout the day, the cabbage was named the Cronch and many people took bites out of the raw head of cabbage. This caused 3 students to get sick, 2 (one indirectly) with what might have been mono and one from just eating too much raw cabbage. However, the rest of the Cronch-eaters seemed to be fine. The Cronch was kept in Archer's backpack and room until it was deemed to disgusting to keep anymore. An attempt to play foursquare with the Cronch was made, but was shut down by the RAs. After the attempted foursquare, the Cronch was left on the quad and disappeared a few days later. Additionally, this alleged spread of mono was made into a joke ("Want mono?") and appeared multiple times in Acting Improv.<br />
<br />
===The Story===<br />
<br />
One day, the Fiction and Poetry class was assigned to write a story. For his assignment ctyer Eric Shi decides to write a story about a man having "relations" with a girl he had been staring at in a non consensual manner. After the class was done writing their stories they passed their respective works around for peer editing. When the rest of the class read his story, they attempted with great effort to explain to Mr.Shi the importance of consent. Mr.Shi in turn replied "consent ruins the mood". After class, and after a fair bit of arguing, Eric proceeded to post "When you try to debate with a fucking liberal (referencing student Roland Blake) but they have no chill" on his snapchat story.<br />

===The Most Patriotic Fire===<br />
<br />
On one fateful 4th of July, a thunderstorm struck the otherwise quiet city of Lancaster. It was a generally dreary night with pouring rain. Quad time was cancelled (but evening session was not). At 9:17, the residents of Thomas Hall received a rather unpleasant surprise. The fire alarm rang; everyone ran outside, thinking it was a drill, and the RAs were confused. The Site Director came and told us to “calm down,” but that didn't stop anyone who was panicking. Afterwards, we found out that someone had put a metal spoon/fork in a microwave, triggering the shrill sounds of the alarm. Naturally, everyone was unhappy about the situation. To add to the frustration, many students had to rush out of the shower. All students were forced to group up with their respective RA. People inside of North Ben and South Ben were waving phone flashlights at the people on the Quad, and there was some flashlight waving in return. Eventually, many students became frustrated at the lack of patriotism shown on the Fourth of July. THIS WAS AMERICA'S GODDAMN BIRTHDAY AND WE WEREN'T GONNA SIT AROUND AND LET AMERICA NOT HAVE A PARTY. First, they sang the Star Spangled-Banner with their hands on their hearts. The boys of Thomas then decided to circle up in the most dominating of positions, the T-Pose, followed by a rendition of Country Roads. The Country Roads T-Pose circle was started by George and Oliver from Theron's Hall, and Theron even entered the center of the circle to conduct the song (Country Roads and the Soviet Union anthem started in Yeon's hall in South Ben, just to give credit to us). On this day, these boys became MEN, as they had fulfilled their most noble duty: serving their country. It was a patriotic moment. As people were re-entering the hall, people sang the Star Spangled Banner again. Lights out stayed at 10:30 for some reason.<br />
<br />
===SKL Pong===<br />
<br />
On the second Sunday, Jester [[User:Natan|Nathan Burke]] brought ping pong balls, SKL, and red plastic cups into the alcove. It was set up to be like beer pong except with SKL. The rules were the same as beer pong with the exceptions of playing in pairs and drinking SKL instead of beer. Three rounds were played, two of which were comeback wins (y’all know who you are and how legendary those comebacks were) until one of the RA’s shut it down.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Room 225A===<br />
<br />
In Thomas, room 225A was drenched in a moldy wet smell, which was caused by a student putting wet shoes and clothing over an AC, as it had rained on the first day of CTY, a heavy rain. The stench was known across the whole hall and no one could walk past the suite without getting the attention. This room was put to shame and most people stayed away.<br />
<br />
=== Banana Bunch ===<br />
After hearing of the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist from their ASTR.A hallmates, three girls from RA Clayla's hall decided to start stealing bananas. After multiple heists, their greed for bananas grew larger and amounted to around 20 bananas in a day. This eventually culminated in the Great American Banana Heist of 2018, where the Banana Bunch stole a whopping 16 bananas from the barrel during one lunch. They would later distribute their stolen bananas among friends and hungry CTYers. Another incident occured when the Bunch, who idolized RA Yeon Cho, stole enough bananas to spell out “YEON” on one of the dining tables, successfully summoning him to the table. Ultimately, they failed to steal the barrel of bananas from F&M dining; however, it was not put out on the last day.<br />
<br />
=== RA Yeon Cho ===<br />
During the end of the first week, RA Yeon Cho became increasingly popular among his hall and the creative nonfiction class. During the Avatar: the Last Airbender marathon, the first half of the activity period was spent on making the computer work. There was a trivia game to make up for the time lost. Somehow "Yeon Cho " became the answer to everything, including Katara's first crush.<br />
<br />
=== SKL Poi ===<br />
[[Jester]] Nathan Burke and nomore Dylan Lee sat next to each other for the first week of class in THEO-B. During that first week of session, after seeing Nathan repeatedly fail to make holes in the tops of SKL bottles for the purpose of swinging them around like a lunatic, legendary camper Dylan Lee decided to take two empty SKL half-gallon cartons and put some rice (courtesy of the dining staff) and small lights that could be turned on and off from outside the cartons into each carton. He then attached shoelaces to each carton and had well-balanced and weighted makeshift poi! He was the star of every rave circle after making those poi, especially the last one.<br />
<br />
===Marcos===<br />
During the course of INBS C, a meme was created out of the TA (named Marcos.) The students wrote his name and various snippets of utterly hilarious conversations onto the CTY memories board, as well as making several stickers in the groupchat, called Marcosstickers. They also wrote no less than '''twenty-three''' Marcos onto the Why I Love CTY board on the second Saturday.<br />
<br />
===Starcrash Fiasco===<br />
Feeling that too many people had been rejected from the beloved activity [[Starcrash]], which had always been held in Adams, Admin decided to make Starcrash uncapped. However, the traditional location, Adams, could only accommodate around 200 people, so Starcrash was relocated to the ASFC. This meant CTYers were forced to sit on the ground of the field house. In addition, the ASFC’s no food or drink policy stifled the traditional Starcrash drinking game. Instead, students were forced to smuggle in goods such as snacks and SKL. Despite the best efforts of the students, famed RA Yeon Cho confiscated nearly two dozen bottles of SKL(he drank them too), which were not allowed to be reclaimed at the end of the activity. (Though one valiant CTYer managed to snag two half-gallon bottles right in front of all the ras. It was pretty sneaky)<br />
<br />

<br />
===Second Wednesday Caution-Tape===<br />
On Second Wednesday, the students of COGN.A (Specifically [[User:Benji.is.dead|Benji]] and [[User:Supersteg|Steg]]) Thought it'd be fun to just give people caution tape, so they did. When all was said and done, an entire role of caution tape (30 yards) had been used. Some notable uses for the tape included the tying of caution tape around one’s head, or wearing it like a belt. [[User:Felix.Stan|Felix]] found a large stick on the quad and tied two long strands of caution tape to it. He then wrapped the stick with fairy lights and named it the “safety stick” or alternatively “the stick of big stick energy.” One thing is for sure; there is nothing more CTY, than 100 students walking around on the Quad wearing caution tape. The class of COGN.A had an enjoyable evening class quite content with themselves after this.<br />
<br />
===WE OUR===<br />
During the [[Pride parade]] the chant "WE OUR" was chanted because someone forgot to finish their "we heart our gay son" poster. Needless to say it was pretty funny as the people who were not participating were very confused.<br />
<br />
===Fire Alarms in North Ben===<br />
In the North Ben dorms, the fire alarms went off about 3 or 4 times due to several students not knowing how to make microwave mac and cheese properly. The incidents happened at around 11:00-12:00 at night, much to the annoyance of many sleeping students. The alarms even went off on the last night, prompting anger towards the unknown camper who, willingly or not, set off the alarm.<br />
<br />
===Starcrash and Slideshow in Mayser===<br />
This year [[Starcrash]] and the Slideshow took place in the sweaty, over heated, overcrowded gym that is called Mayser. The excuse was that is was going to rain but that doesn't excuse why we couldn't go into Adams to watch Starcrash. Admin @ it again ruining traditions <br />
<br />
===#StairwayToHelix===<br />
Squirrel [[User:Schu22|Sabine Chu]], wanting to “make [her] mark on CTY” attempted to organize a movement to change the shape of the dance in [[Stairway to Heaven]] from the traditional circle to a helix. She walked around dances, KIVO, and other places, asking people a variant of “Hello. Would you be interested in changing the shape of the dance in Stairway to Heaven?” Her petition got around 80 signatures, and Sabine even gave it to the Pentennial, who made a poster advertising the movement. Unfortunately, despite Sabine’s best efforts, only about 6 people participated in the helix dance.<br />
<br />
===Boris Strots===<br />
Although not many know his name (arguable), everyone at LAN 18.2 has seen Boris Strots' amazing dance moves and innovative raving style (the fidget spinner). He is renowned throughout LAN 18.2 not for his 3rd place Blammo finish, but for his impressive performances and brave self-embarrassment during the dances. Allegedly, Boris can also read minds. To demonstrate this, he would hold his hand up for a high five, and as a victim went in for a high five, he would be able to predict the trajectory of the incoming high five, and cleverly dodge it, instead dabbing on the victim. Unfortunately, he did not pass the talent show audition, or else the camp would have seen a brilliant rendition of "MC Gang". Boris' hall petitioned for him to be a backup dancer for their RA's talent show performances, but it ultimately never happened as it was determined that he would have stolen the show.<br />
<br />
During the last dance, Boris transcended into fashion enlightenment after donning 3 shorts simultaneously, swim goggles, and boasting a hellish hairstyle. See: [https://ibb.co/b1D9iz here.] He was seen before the dance with a towel wrapped around his head, presumably preparing for hair. It was during the same dance that he entered the rave circle, repeating the same move for the duration of the rave. During afternoon class before the dance, he attempted to stick his hair back with duct tape, but his Russian hair was far too resilient and he had to resort to hairdrying, water, and wax.<br />
<br />
Boris is also a nice person. During the last dance, if he saw circles of two (couples), he would join them in an attempt to make them feel less lonely. It is controversial whether this was effective, though.<br />
<br />
===Shirtless Running Man===<br />
During one of the quad times, a shirtless running man on his tiptoes confronted a group of students. Many RAs intervened, yet he was still seen running around for a few more minutes. He said, "This is a public place and I am allowed to be here and talk to the kids."<br />
<br />
Goodbye, Mr. Shirtless Running Man. I hope your life is going well.<br />
<br />
===Aidan Chan===<br />
The nomore (nevermore by Lancasterian tradition) that had the ability to pass sadness and tears onto anybody.<br />
<br />
===Cult of the L===<br />
Somehow in INBS C, all the boys in the class participated in a cult hailing Marcos. Writing L's on the chalkboard and giving people the L as agreeting and a CTY-A was commonplace. Marcos threatened to sanction at least two of the students, so one of the two learned Marcos's accent and ended up getting sanctioned. "Bryce, Sanctioned" That student took the biggest L. people would fold and cut paper and duct tape Ls to Will. Marcos has ascended into a living meme. At least five people hailed Marcos in a picture. (Instructions below) <br />
<br />
How to hail glorious leader Marcos:<br />
<br />
Make L with right hand<br />
Seig Heil hail but with the L.<br />
Done.<br />
<br />
"TAKE THE L"<br />
"Bryce/Will took the biggest L'<br />
"HAIL MARCOS'<br />
<br />
===Ian Day's Mousetrap===<br />
<br />
A first year CTYer, Ian Day, screwed around with a mousetrap he found in Mayser Gym for 5 days straight. His RA confiscated the mousetrap after catching Ian throwing it across the hall. Ian had the mousetrap snap on his finger while he was arming it at least 42 times. How he didn't end up injured is not known.<br />
<br />
===The Jump-Rope Orbital===<br />
Upon fooling around with 18.2 ravers, soon-to-be 19.2 Rave Queen Ceci Skinner-Grant came up with the idea of performing an orbital, then jumping over it like a jump rope and bringing it back over your head as it continued to spin. This seemingly complex move was attempted to be instantiated a number of times, and soon even became a goal to achieve for a number of similarly-minded ravers.<br />
<br />
= 2019.1=<br />
<br />
===Spoons===<br />
<br />
On June 24th, 2019, in North Ben, RA Theron led the largest game of Spoons ever played at CTY with support of RAs Rory, Cordaro, Daniel, and Evan. 40 people participated with over eight decks of cards in play. People kept throwing spoons and cheating, meanwhile, during gametime, people were crawling on top of one another to get a spoon. The game ended halfway through because of concerns brought up by RA Theron.<br />
<br />
===Friend Journal===<br />
<br />
In an effort to help make squirrels more knowledgeable about the tradition at Lancaster, the 19.1 Friend Sylvie made a journal with everything there was to know about tradition. The journal became an extremely useful for all those coming to Lancaster.<br />
<br />
===Talent Show===<br />
<br />
Lemmy performed 'Count on Me' by Bruno Mars. Multiple people performed the piano, including a beautiful original piece. Standup comedy was done by Sam. Eva and two others performed a duo of popular classical songs. One man performed a meme remix. One woman sang her heart out to 'X's and O's' by Elle King. The health office nurse sang a Christian piece. Amazing string performances were done. One man was brave enough to sing a pop song without music in the background. The talent show was great all around, but a bit short.<br />
<br />
===Pride Flags & Such===<br />
<br />
Pride flags were bought and worn all over Lancaster 19.1 throughout the remaining Pride Month and rest of the session. Clara Robertson charged $5 to ship quality content such as gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, and more flags. Many people 'took pride' in wearing them as capes, towels, blankets, etc. Many students flaunted the flags throughout 19.1 and participated in a pride parade, pride month, etc.<br />
<br />
===Alright===<br />
<br />
On June 8th, 2019, RA Evan and another RA brought a group of students down to Hartman Green to play a game half of them didn't know of. It's called '[[Alright]]', and you can read all about it by clicking the link around the word. To sum it up, the girls and boys got in separate groups, then proceeded to make absolute fools of themselves by screaming, picking up Dragon Zballs, running, and trying to look like vegetables. RA Evan did an amazing job, with the help of participants, to teach the game to a new generation. It was Alright.<br />
<br />
===Shampoo===<br />
<br />
On a particularly wet and rainy quad time, Andy Bohan got Henry Goldschmidt brought out their shampoo bottle and shampooed everyone's hair. It was a fun night with many moments including the transformation of Julien Goodrich into a Smurf.<br />
<br />
===Kivo Man and the Bean Spillage===<br />
During session there was a mysterious disappearance of one of the booth tables in Kivo. Coincidentally, it was the same table that Immy Drysdale, the 19.1 Father, had spilled beans all over a few hours prior to its disappearance. Also during session, the Alcove was once again yelled at by the Kivo Man to stop sitting on the ledge in the corner behind the high top tables. These are both crucial pieces of information. Because of these two incidents, Sophia Ribeiro, the 19.1 Holy Ghost, and Deej Cunniffe, the 20.1 Quotebook, created a chant complete with hand motions to document the two incidents. The chant goes as follows, <br />
<br />
KIVO MAN, <br />
sitting on <br />
the ledge, <br />
BEAN SPILLAGE <br />
<br />
The chant is broken up by word, each of which is accompanied by swinging your arms wildly either vertically or horizontally. The chant starts of vertically and switches with each word with the exeption of KIVO, which is spilt into its two syllables. This chant was added to the last after dance, and hopefully will continue on.<br />
<br />
===New Positions===<br />
At an unfortunately early hour of the morning, Deej Cunniffe decided that the current positions needed to be replaced, for absolutely no visible purpose at all. She came up with some new ones, which had no rhyme or reason in the least. These new positions included the KIVO diplomat, who's job it would be to apologize to the KIVO man whenever ctyers in KIVO were breaking the rules (which happens rather often), Throckmorton, cousin to all, who would also choreograph The Throcky Horror Picture Show, and Sticks, which had no explanation because she couldn't stop laughing for long enough to make one up. She brought these ideas down to the quad where Immy Drysdale, Lindsey Russ, Paige Zhang, Kristy Trojak, Allison Mak, and Grace Chen, who were all also awake far earlier than they would have liked to have been. Because of how early it was, these new positions seemed hilarious, and so they helped Deej compile the rest of the list, the final rendition of which included...<br />
<br />
KIVO diplomat - Apologizes to KIVO man,<br />
Throckmorton - cousin to all, runs Throcky, relic is several snapbacks on in all different directions and a pin that says respect women, <br />
Sticks - ????, <br />
Latex Man - enforcer of the Latex Ban,<br />
Schnader - just like, the embodiment of every plague, reminds people of the dangers of breaking PDA rules,<br />
Jan - Jean Man! his relic is a joutfit,<br />
Holy Ghost - enforces all of the rules using whatever means necessary. will arrest you for treason if you even LOOK at one of F&Ms trees. Stands between people to enforce PDA rules. Leave room for Jesus.<br />
<br />
Later they realized these new positions were not as funny as they were at seven am on a Saturday morning, but they were still referenced throughout session as an ongoing joke.<br />
<br />
===RA Andrew===<br />
Overcoming all odds, 16.1 Nomore Andrew Zhou became an RA at Lancaster. Due to a large portion of RAs being new to the site, RA Andrew served as the veteran that everyone needed hosting LEGENDARY activities such as watching him flail like an idiot (a tribute to Asher's watch Asher flail like and idiot), playing the worlds worst song, bad acting appreciation and bad music theory. Overall, he was a super chill RA that kept on the legendary kazoos and immortalized the "wanna have a wrap battle?". We love you Andrew <3.<br />
<br />
===The Pestilence===<br />
As people came to session sick and with the lack of CTYers knowing how to not get sick, three different but equally terrifying diseases spread around the entire site getting entire halls sick and sending many to quarantine. This however did not stop many from still participating in disease spreading activities.<br />
<br />
===The Floats===<br />
Near the end of 19.1, two students, Tristan Mayock and Avery Lamprecht, had many brilliant ideas. It started when Tristan created a ranch float (a root beer float, but instead of root beer, it was ranch). Later on, Avery created a marinara sauce float and a ramen float. It is unknown whether or not Tristan drank his entire float, but Avery finished both the marinara float and the ramen float.</div>CronchyTreeshttps://www.realcty.org/index.php?title=Memories:LAN&diff=50472Memories:LAN2019-07-14T12:59:52Z<p>CronchyTrees: </p>

<br />
===The Most Adoptions Ever===<br />
<br />
Zev Hurwich currently holds the unchallenged record for being adopted 42 times in his squirrel year. The idea for this started due to his seeming dual adoption, first by Alexia Simmonard, and then by Jeremy Berkowitz. Zev and Jeremy discussed the possibility of being adopted more than once which led to the idea of being adopted 42 times. Zev and Jeremy, in the last week of 04.1, ran around the campus asking people to adopt Zev. The entire Alcove of 04.1 ended up adopting him, plus other random people around the site, leading to a final tally of 42 adoptions.<br />
<br />
==2005.1==<br />
<br />
===Bad Posture===<br />
<br />
In [[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]]'s [[Math Logic]] class in 2005.1, one of his friends noticed that Dan's shoulders were slouched down all the time. She brought it up with him, saying "Put your shoulders up, like this." Dan took note of this.<br />
<br />
A year later, just before 2006.1, someone in school told Dan he had good posture. Dan was like "o.o" and then he was like ":D".<br />
<br />
===Holding the Door for 500 People===<br />
<br />
[[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]] and his friend Luyu were bored one day and they were sitting in the Schnader stairwell, between the front and back doors, just lightly talking. Noticing the many people walking in and out, Dan and Luyu began holding doors open for people. Dan couldn't help but notice that only certain people said "thank you" as they opened the door - this made him curious, and he decided to get creative.<br />
<br />
Dan and Luyu relocated to the door coming in from Schnader porch, and their friend Andrey decided to join them. Together, the three of them held the door for anyone entering while counting each person who walked through; they also counted the number of "thank yous" received. Out of the 500 people they held the door open for, they received 255 "thank yous" - that's 55 percent. They also created a set of rules determining who says "thank you" and how it is said:<br />
*RAs are much more likely to say "thank you" than students.<br />
*Females are more likely to say "thank you" than males. This applies for students and RAs.<br />
*If the walker is familiar with the door holder, he/she is less likely to say "thank you."<br />
*People in a small group are unlikely to say "thank you" unless one person says it; in this case, the rest of the small group usually says "thank you" as well.<br />
*People are more likely to say "thank you" if they witness the door holder opening the door.<br />
*Unless a female RA, walkers are likely to say "thank you" quietly.<br />
*Small groups are more likely to say "thank you" than large groups.<br />
*Female RAs are most likely to smile when saying "thank you."<br />
<br />
===Change of Heart===<br />
<br />
[[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]], the Son of the [[Trinity (Session 1)|Holy Trinity]] in 2008.1, was ironically as non-traditionalist as possible during his first year in 2005.1. He had come to CTY during the lowest point of his three-year depression; he felt that CTY would give him a chance to start his life over with new people. Dan was generally happy at CTY, staying inside during dances to play cards and spending every Quad Time in his hall. However, his depression still affected him; he sometimes felt like everyone cared about each other more than Dan. Feeling that CTY was nothing special for him, he decided not to return the next year. He told this to his friend Ly, who was disappointed.<br />
<br />
Because of a thunderstorm on the day of the last dance, all students were required to report to the ASFC, which Dan was unhappy about. However, he managed to play cards with his friends against the wall, despite the blaring Canon songs in the background. Eventually, though, Dan's card-playing friends dispersed, and Dan was left alone to sit against the wall. ''Nightswimming'' began to play, and Dan was terribly upset - he was all alone again, just like at home. But then he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked up to see Artem, a onemore in his hall with a wonderful heart. He asked Dan what was wrong, only to get a shrug in return. Artem then said to Dan, "Hey, if there's something bothering you, you can always come to me to talk about it, and I'll be here to listen. I care about you, I want you to know that." A pat on the shoulder, and Artem was off.<br />
<br />
This single trigger caused Dan to reconsider what he had so stubbornly been so sure of for the past three years. He realized that maybe there were people out there - people who could care and listen; people who could love. After a lot of self-debate, Dan replaced each negative thought of his with something positive and motivational. His depression was over. On the last day, when Ly asked Dan to sign her shirt, Dan happily obliged and wrote his name, and underneath his name, a message: "I'll be back."<br />

===The Forty Two Person Grass Orgy===<br />
<br />
In Lancaster 06.1 during the first week of CTY when hand holding was still considered quite promiscuous Teh Corner decided to start a grass orgy. They had already been reprimanded for similar conduct but they hoped that they could get away with it. Then realizing that the more people who joined the orgy the less likely they were to get into trouble so members of Teh Corner kept inviting random people to join the orgy. When the orgy had past around 23 people the idea came into the minds of those present to achieve a forty two person grass orgy. Within a few minutes they had achieved the ultimate grass orgy and not a single one got yelled at by any member of staff.<br />
<br />
===Evil Vending Machine===<br />
<br />
One weekend, Dan Salvato and a few friends in his hall were bored. As all bored people do, they began climbing on top of the vending machine in their kitchen. Wondering if it was light enough to move, about five people positioned themselves around the vending machine. To their surprise, they managed to move it! Having fun with the whole situation, they pushed it in front of the doorway, blocking entrance to the kitchen. They wanted to give the vending machine a more menacing look, so they gave it an angry face made out of duct tape. The evil vending machine remained in place for several hours.<br />
<br />
RA Jeff was walking down the hall when something red caught his eye. Turning left, he found himself face-to-face with a vending machine, smiling at him mischeivously. He stood there for about five seconds, smiling to himself, before saying "Okay, can you guys move it back now?"<br />
<br />
The vending machine became the basis of the signature panels in the 2006 yearbook for both Etse's and Jeff's halls. (If you have a 2006 yearbook, check it out!) [http://privateimage.com/images/akcbf7ns7m2yqn4tdw4.jpg Here is a photo of the vending machine].<br />

<br />
===Sexapussy (The Sexapus)===<br />
<br />
During Second Saturday of 2006.02, Crafting the Essay 3C student [[User:DreamTwister|Ashok]] was getting bored as the day was dragging on to around 4:00, the end of the activities. Hallmate Greg Lawrence IV had had some twisty balloons mailed to him, and Ashok had collected 2 balloons so far that Greg had left lying around, presumed to be broken. Upon returning to his room, Ashok suddenly had an idea: he would make a balloon octopus! Quickly, Ashok scoured the hall for 2 more balloons. Alas, he only found one more, but not to be deterred, he used the 3 balloons he had to make a six-armed octopus. And thus Sexapussy, The Sexapus, was born.<br />
<br />
Ashok took the Sexapus to the 3rd Dubbs lounge, which was at the top floor of South Ben and very hot. As the people in the lounge started playing with Sexapussy, a few were interested in how slowly it fell. Noticing that there were several fans cooling the room, Ashok and RA Adam Roush set up 3 fans pointing upwards and dropped Sexapussy into the current. For the next half-hour or so, Sexapussy would float to the top of the room, then flip and fall, then flip and spin around several times while catching the air currents and floating upwards again. In summary, it would float, flip, and spin without touching the ground for several minutes at a time, and it looked really cool. Word of the Sexapus got around quickly, and many people came up to 3rd Dubbs to see the balloon creature. Unfortunately, someone jostled one of the fans before a good video could be taken, and it couldn't be put quite in the same position so that the Sexapus would float as long again. Later, Adam and some others tied inflated plastic bags onto 3 of Sexapussy's 6 arms, which made it float much slower and longer.<br />
<br />
Sexapussy suffered the same unfortunate fate that all balloons must, unfortunately, but plans for a bigger setup are under way.<br />
<br />
P.S. we all secretly (or not so secretly) want to have the sexapussy's babies. its true. ~Yulia speaking for all of CTY who witnessed the glory that was Sexapussy.<br />
<br />
Years later, a live [http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/03/03/hexapus-octopus.html "hexapus"] was found in a British aquatic zoo.<br />

===The Legend of The Ivan===<br />
<br />
For those of you who don't know (i.e. those of you who weren't in Archaeology or Advanced Chem 06.2), this is the legend of The Ivan, collaborate on by Lena and AmanDaray (Amanda Ray).<br />
<br />
It unfolds thusly: Soon after arrival at CTY, Amandar and Lena conversed and became friends. Of the myriad unusual and nerdy things discussed, the subject soon veered towards sex, drugs, communists and other such risque business (as CTY conversations have a knack for doing). Amandar brought forth the idea of locating an individual on campus to stalk for the remainder of the session, an idea that was met with enthusiasm from the not yet "attached-at-the-hip-and-left-knee-to-Kib" [The origin of this quotation remains uncertain] Lena. Walking past the arches, Lena spotted a more than adequate stalkee and rushed to inform Amandar of the charming new development.<br />
<br />
The two giddily overeager students and some friends they told about the stalkee stared at, "casually" walked by, and giggled uncontrollably at and around him for excessive amounts of time. He was of slim build, dark hair, and pasty complexion. On some occasions, he wore grey Asics of the same style as Lena's. He was often seen carrying an "indie" messenger bag and reading books while eating meals instead of socializing, like an "emo" student would. He often appeared very pensive and existential (if it is possible for one to look existential). He had a Russian look about him, and was soon dubbed a communist. At breakfast, Lena once remarked that he looked as if he should be at a coffee shop or vintage record store "like, in Belgium or somewhere!" which prompted the notion that he was a stereotypical Kerouac-esque beat traveler, and all of his books were written by Nietzsche, Camus, Ginsberg, and Palahniuk. Upon writing a report on fourteenth-century Russia in class, Lena researched Ivan the Terrible and immediately decided that the stalkee's name must be Ivan, Nikolai, Sven, or "something swanky like that." Ivan was preferred by Amandar and the matter was settled.<br />
<br />
At first, since he was too old to be a camper, and looked too mystical and worldly to be a TA or teacher (and obviously wasn't an RA), Amandar was misled to believe that he was a random F&M college student crashing CTY meals for unknown, mysterious reasons. Soon thereafter, one of the CTYers involved in the stalkage discovered that he did, in fact, have a black lanyard. This prompted Amandar to drag a whining Lena to the bulletin board outside the Nurse's office in Thomas where the pictures of RAs and TAs were posted. To both girls' dismay, the elusive stalkee's picture was ripped from the board, probably by a first session CTYer. They did, however, discover his real name, Nicolas (surprisingly close to Nikolai!), and that he TAed MIND B.<br />
<br />
By the third week, Ivan probably was well aware that he was being stalked, especially since an involved CTYer, Kristin, decided to approach him and strike up a conversation which promptly failed. Lena had kind of forgotten about him by this point, but Amandar was still recruiting stalkers to join the rapidly growing cult of Ivanites. She hopes Ivan will return next year so the tradition can be passed on, but they probably freaked him out too much, in addition to everyone in MIND B. Apparently, no one in MIND B had caught on that their TA was being stalked by everyone in ARCH, CHEM, and a few random people from paleo and other classes.<br />
<br />
Here is a strategically taken picture of Ivan and Amandar's shoulder by another A-Chem student:<br />

[[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]] says:<br />
<br />
As a member of Mind B. I am completely shocked that people were stalking Nicolas "Fries"<br />
Friesner. Although I did read some interesting Dr. Uffy, Fries, Lectern, fanfics...<br />
<br />
Laney Newhouse says:<br />
<br />
DO NOT LISTEN TO JEFF SACHS. THAT IS A LIE. THERE WAS NO FANFICTION WRITTEN ABOUT DR. UFFIE, FRIES <br />
OR THE LECTERN, AND CERTAINLY NOT ABOUT THE THREE OF THEM ENGAGING IN ILLICIT ACTIVITIES TOGETHER. <br />
However, I, too, am very much amused by the stalkage of our beloved TA, and would like to note that <br />
a lot of members of our class stalked him as well, as they found him quite attractive and soulful.<br />
<br />
Amanda Ray says:<br />
<br />
'Twas the great Amandar herself who discovered the black lanyard, silly Lena.<br />
<br />
===Waffle House===<br />
<br />
On the last day of CTY, two CTY'ers, Harrison and Jordan, thought it would be a good idea to go to the Waffle House on Harrison's last day at CTY. The plan was to sneak out and leave the exterior door to the dorm building propped open with a flip flop (as they had already returned their key fobs). They made it past [[Turkey Hill]] and into the Waffle House, where they had a lovely breakfast, and stopped at a convenience store to buy some disallowed caffeinated products (an energy drink and caffeinated gum). They then attempted to call their dorm neighbor, Andrew, from a payphone, but he wasn't awake. On their way back, they were stopped by the Lancaster police for being out past curfew. After trying unsuccessfully to pass themselves off as townies, they were carted back to F&M, where they were summarily grilled about what exactly they had done. While the administration couldn't do much to Harrison, as he was a [[nomore]] and it was the last day of the session, Jordan was not allowed to come back for his nomore year.<br />
<br />
===D-Qwon===<br />
<br />
D-Qwon (the hyphen is important because otherwise one may think it's pronounced "deh-qwon") is a lamppost at [[Lancaster]], closest to North Ben, and near the arches.<br />
<br />
CTYers mainly in Crafting the Essay B and C spent their [[Quad Time]]s of the first week of LAN.06.2 basking in its light before realizing that... well, lampposts have feelings too. It was then that Johnny Mondel named the lamppost D-Qwon and, through some telepathic means, learned of his life. D-Qwon and his brother Dupree [whose body lay dying during 06.2, but has since been buried] were inner city lampposts who set out on a journey to Lancaster. D-Qwon, being the luckier brother, arrived on the Franklin & Marshall campus alive, but Dupree didn't have the same fate and was destroyed by the construction of Ware.<br />
<br />
On the first weekend in 06.2, with he help of Ellie Kladky's iPod speakers, the first D-Qwon Dance Party occurred, in which people sat around, listened to music, and of course, danced. Following this first D-Qwon Dance Party, any weekend time these CTYers spent hanging out and dancing to music, regardless of the place on the Quad, became known as a D-Qwon Dance Party.<br />
<br />
It is believed by many that the drawing on the back of the LAN 06.2 "year"book is of D-Qwon.<br />

<br />
===Be Strong===<br />
<br />
[[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]] cried very much on the last day of 2007.1. It was his last time in his room with his roommate [[User:Zev|Zev Hurwich]]. Dan had just finished packing and was about to leave; he gave Zev one last hug and began to cry again. Zev let go and Dan began backing out of the door. "Dan..." Zev said. "...Be strong." Zev smiled and held up a fist of strength to Dan. Dan sniffled and couldn't help but smile back - he held up his own fist in return. He then turned around and walked out of his hall for the last time. This was the most dramatic and epic moment of Dan's life - it was straight out of a movie. Only better...<br />
<br />
===Balcony Incidents===<br />
<br />
The only person to witness the balcony incident was [[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]]. The entire campus was on its way to the ASFC to watch the annual Talent Show. Dan, however, was a performer in the Talent Show and was preparing to depart with the other performers, who were grouped in Thomas Hall. A Rubik's Cube was needed as a prop for one of the MC acts, and Dan was asked to run back to his dorm in North Ben to get his cube as quickly as possible. At the front of North Ben were three RAs (Dan does not remember who) - two were at ground level, and one was a floor up on the balcony. All three RAs were laughing as the bottom two RAs attempted to toss a lanyard up to the RA on the balcony - they missed several times, and the lanyard fell back down. This is a major rule violation and would get all the balconies banned if any of the RAs caught students tossing anything up or down the balcony. It was very funny for Dan to watch, but unfortunately, he couldn't think of anything witty to say to the RAs at the time. He returned to Thomas Hall with the Rubik's Cube, and the RAs were never caught by anyone else.<br />
<br />
There was a second incident leading to the near-banning of the Muhlenburg/Mull balcony and possibly all other balconies due to the throwing of sprinkles off it. This occurred after the 4th dance while everyone was coming in from the afterdance. The two perpetrators were stopped by two CTY students because they did not want the balconies to be banned. The following day, an RA noticed and called a hall meeting for Muhlenburg and Mull to try to figure out what happened. The RA accused these two halls because they were the only ones with sprinkles.The punishment would be having to clean up other halls. Luckily, one of the two students that stopped the two perpetrators was in one of these halls, and told his RA what he saw. The perpetrators were caught and the balconies stayed open, and the halls were not punished. One perpetrator was from outside the hall, and his punishments are unknown.<br />

==2008.1==<br />
<br />
===Dan's Disappointment Speech===<br />
<br />
A transcription of the speech can be found here: [[Essay:Dan's Disappointment Speech]]<br />
<br />
[[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]] spent 2008.1, his nomore year of CTY, involved with tradition and the [[Alcove]] more than ever. When heading out of a lounge in North Ben during the first Saturday, he saw his two friends, Alex "Sasha" Ayvazov and Rowan Matney, in the distance. Sasha looked upset; Dan asked what was wrong upon approaching them. Sasha explained that he did not feel as much of a sense of love and family in the Alcove as he always had in the past; Dan and Sasha talked about this together for a while and agreed that something should be done to unite the Alcove as a family. Thus, they decided to write a speech to give to the Alcove the following Tuesday during dinner. When Sasha had to go, he hugged Dan and said "I love you, Dan." Dan started to cry, as this was the first true sense of love and family he was given during 2008.1.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE:''' The Alcove and its sense of family is a very touchy and debatable subject, mainly in terms of whether the Alcove has lost a sense of family over the years, whether it has become less of a family after 2007.1 when Zev and others nomored out, or whether it has always been the same but was given a goal in 2008.1 that was not upheld to the fullest of expectations. This entry only covers the interpretations of Dan, Sasha, and the written speech.<br />
<br />
Dan and Sasha spent several quad times and early mornings working on the speech. The original idea of the speech was that the Alcove contained a strong sense of family in the past, but this was failing in 2008.1. Dan consulted Dana Reback after the completion of the speech; he was glad he did, because she was involved in the Alcove for four years and believed that the sense of family was never truly given in the Alcove any more in the past, but was rather a new perspective the Alcove wanted to uphold for 2008.1. Dan spent his quad time rewriting the speech and went over it with Sasha Tuesday morning.<br />
<br />
After a long talk with the Site Director, Dan was ready to give the speech, though he was incredibly nervous. Upon quieting down the Alcove, he got their attention by opening with the sentence "A few of us have been disappointed this year at CTY." From here, he was able to deliver the rest of the speech; a few people were in tears at the end, including Dan himself. The speech was awarded with a lively applause, followed by each member of the Alcove hugging Dan one by one. The Alcove then formed a circle by linking their arms around each others' shoulders, singing the Beatles' "Hey Jude." Dan left the Alcove crying and was stopped by Frank Wang, sitting with several other RAs. Frank asked Dan what was wrong, and Dan said "I just gave my speech" in between sniffles. Frank reached out his arm to pat Dan on the back, but Dan moved closer and gave Frank a hug (Frank said "Okay, okay" in slight disapproval).<br />
<br />
''"42 is a great number, but if it means one more person can join in, 43 is even greater."''<br />
<br />
===Brotime===<br />
<br />
On the talent show program, an act midway through the set was listed only as "Brotime." This act turned out to be five male RAs (Tom, Diego, Papa Pucci, Joe, and Scruff) dancing to Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," leading to much laughter and many cheers from the female students. The next day, at the final dance, "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" was played. As soon as it was started, there were many yells of "BROTIME!", people cleared the blacktop, and the fivesome performed. Then, at closing ceremonies, two encore acts from the talent show were scheduled; Dan Salvato, Alan He, and Victor Song's breakdancing, and Sarah Hackney, Sarah Parr, and Rachel Khatan's singing and playing ''Scarborough Fair''. The breakdancing went over well (besides the fact that the iPod's battery died mid-performance), but before the ''Scarborough Fair'' act went on, there was a small scuffle between Sarah H.'s guitar and a member of the History of Disease class, which ended with one of the guitar strings breaking, rendering it unplayable. Therefore, Sarah had to rush to get a spare, leaving a large time gap. Some students yelled "Brotime!" and weren't taken seriously at first, but when more students called for Brotime, RA Mama Kate asked if anyone in the ASFC had Wham on their iPod. Both Byron Callan and Jeremy Strege donated their iPods and Brotime put on one final performance for the CTYers and parents. They received a standing ovation.<br />

<br />
==="Hey, Shae!"===<br />
<br />
During a break in Rocky Horror rehearsal on Second Saturday, certain students who here shall remain unnamed (due both to lack of consent from both parties and also full group LAN 08.1 memory of the event anyways) engaged in flagrant violation of PDA rules. Unbeknownst to them, RA Shae (still fully in drag) entered Mull/Muhlenberg 2nd lounge, with a full view of them from the door. It took a few tries from other students to get their attention, but once they realized Shae was there, one student immediately jumped off the other and onto the chair arm, and essentially hid behind a combination of knees and carefully-draped hair. Suddenly, jumbled excuses were heard from various unknown parts of the lounge about "part of the rehearsal" and "in the lab...on the slab!" Shae, who appeared somewhat startled, seemed to accept these excuses, and then said something about having to go get Adam Roush to watch the rehearsal, followed by what seemed like a plea: "Please don't make out anymore...!" After Shae's exit, the two students were ridiculed. This ridicule continued for the rest of the session, by changing the practice of directing the words "Hey, Frank!" to the air behind a PDA-ing couple with "Hey, Shae!" especially for this particular couple.<br />
<br />
'''Edit:''' Most of this information is, quite surprisingly, 100 % accurate. I must interject to defend myself, however, because I totally didn't believe the excuses of said students at the time. Not at all. They were clearly not "in the lab, on the slab," as implied. They were in an armchair, being CTYI. I was just too gobsmacked to act otherwise. --[[User:Shaeberry|Shae]] 10:14, 25 November 2008 (PST)<br />

I know you didn't believe them but it was more fun to write it that way. It would have been even more fun if ''I'' had thought to describe you as "gobsmacked". -Rachel<br />
<br />
===Balcony Mishaps===<br />
<br />
The balcony of Rauch 3 was a place of mishaps and mayhem during LAN.08.01. The ETYM girls were often reprimanded for their interesting and slightly CTYI beheavior on side jutting precipice. The beginning of this saga was the Dangling of the Bra, during the Sunday Lockdown. A moth killed with a shoe mistaken for a gunshot put the whole campus under house arrest, but the girls of Rauch 3 had a religious RA, and therefore were barely informed through sparse text messages. During the lockdown, a bra was torn from the body of an unsuspecting ETYM-ite and dangled off the balcony, upon which very angry RAs/Policeman ordered the girls inside and the bra off its makeshift flagpole.<br />
<br />
This was not the only offense, however. One night during lights out, one of the girls was talking on the phone on the balcony, when two attractive (yes... they were attractive. We could tell. It doesn't matter that it was dark. Shhhhhh) men were spotted walking through the campus. NAKED. Well... in boxers, but close enough. Being the true Rauch 3 girls they were, catcalling erupted and the boys walked over to talk. But right before numbers could be exchanged, the half-naked boys were caught by an RA and escorted off the premises, into the land of legend.<br />
<br />
The last incident took place when a CTYer was reciting a sonnet rather loudly off the balcony into the night. A couple heading towards Weiss Hall shouted, "SHUT UP!!!" To which the response was, "It's Shakespeare, you illiterate manwhore!!!" But who should be walking by at that very moment but DRL Scary Matt? So, you can guess what happened next - yes. Failure. But a little Catholic girl wrote an apology and everything was right as rain. Suspicious? Maybe. Ingenious? Yes.<br />
<br />
===Frank Wang: Owned Via PDA===<br />
<br />
It was the last dance of session 1 and CTYer X and CTYer Y were kissing near the back of the dance crowd. Suddenly, Frank Wang came by, and he shouted "No PDA!" Lo and behold, however, he was shouting to an unsuspecting couple right nearby CTYers X and Y, not X and Y themselves. Frank began to reprimand the victims verbally, and CTYer Y interjected, politely commending Frank on his excellent work catching the PDAers. It was then, when Frank began to go into full swing lecture, that CTYers X and Y kissed for a long time, right behind the great Frank Wang's back. It was a satisfying, triumphant moment never to be forgotten.<br />
<br />
When Frank Wang turned back to face them, "lock down" mode was initiated, and both X and Y faced away and shouted, "Ew!!! Cooties!"<br />
<br />
Thus, Frank Wang had been owned.<br />
<br />
===The Name Train===<br />
<br />
The Name Train was a horrible evil devised by an RA as a method to supposedly help CTYers learn each others' names, but was truthfully a nightmarish form of torture. It dates back to as early as the first day of 08.1, being used as an ice breaker, but it began to become more well-known during the very first hall bonding, in which it wickedly ruined the bonding of many other halls. Sporadically throughout the rest of the session, the Name Train was revived, causing many CTYers to flee in fear when it approached.<br />
<br />
''"What's YOUR name on the Name Train?!"''<br />
<br />
''"...Debbie?"''<br />
<br />
''"DEBBIE! DEBBIE! DEBBIE-DEBBIE-DEBBIE! Hop on the Name Train!!"''<br />
<br />
The Name Train's reign of evil was broken, however, when a group of CTYers determined to stop it planned to join the train with really long names, like Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo, obscene names, like Mike Hunt, or simply a few hundred digits of pi. The plan of action was changed when [[User:Kokomo|Zoe]] stated that any name train that attempted to kidnap her would be promptly Rickrolled, and held up her ever-present portable speakers. Inspired, [[User:Madredhattie|Christine]] suggested that the whole group simply gather together in an acapella Rickroll, and thus the Wall of Rolling Rickroll was born. The Name Train was Rickrolled three times before the Wall scattered and fled, but the damage had been done. The Name Train was no more.<br />
<br />
EDIT: The Name Train lives on! Several 2nd sessioners jumped on board. In fact, Katherine's girls <i>requested</i> to be Name Trained on the first day! AND! a lot of you 1st sessioners loved the Name Train! So much so that we had to establish a regular schedule — the 6:10 Name Train. (RA, Andrew Dillon)<br />
<br />
'''EDIT:''' Andrew, I have to defend the honor of my hall by stating that it was actually MY girls that requested to be Name Trained. Specifically Kleo and Kate. Because the Transformers rock.<br />
--[[User:Shaeberry|Shae]] 10:14, 25 November 2008 (PST)<br />
<br />
EDIT: The acapella Rickroll was one of my favorite memories that I had Session 1.<br />
-Austin<br />
<br />
EDIT: On Second Saturday of 09.1, James "Turtle" Buckland started a pre-dance Name Train, which managed to gather about 25 people. This Name Train was destroyed by Sam Bauman who, upon asking of his name, screamed "YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!" and charged the Name Train, breaking it apart.<br />
<br />
===Best Typo of the Year===<br />
<br />
In the middle of the session, one of the activities on the Activity Sheet appeared as "Hot Bo and Tom With Balls." This was laughed about for the remainder of the session by many. The activity was meant to be "Hit Bo and Tom With Balls" (dodgeball). It may or may not have been an accident. *coughcough*<br />
<br />
===The Schnade, The Chart, and The Health Office Party===<br />
<br />
During first session, a nasty cold quickly spread throughout the Alcove and the campus. (this cold was so nasty that it even sent one girl to the ER) It was spread quickly because the person who first caught a bad case was in -close contact- with many people. She was quarantined in the Health Office for two and a half days, only allowed out for meals and activities. During lunch of the first day, she, along with a few of her friends who were already showing symptoms, created a sick table to contain the illness, and created a Schnade chart. This chart showed how the cold would spread, AKA it showed the people who were already sick, and the people closest to them, the people closest to them, etc. As more and more people got sick, their names were checked off of the list. That Friday, this girl had to stay in the Health Office during the dance. She was feeling better, so she grabbed the candy she had left from Turkey Hill and the previous week's Farmers Market, so she could make her own party in the Health Office. When she got there, she realized that three of her friends were also still sick and stuck in the Health Office. They sat in the suite lounge eating candy and hanging out for the entire dance. During the night, they had visitors pop in for water and just for fun, including friendly RA's Shae and Sean and even SRA Frank Wang. Frank, after letting the no longer deathly sick girl sign up early for the Farmer's Market, showed a side of himself not usually seen by CTYers. <br />
<br />
"Man, you guys all look really sick" Frank<br />
<br />
"...uh... yea.. well we are.. pretty much..." CTYers<br />
<br />
"No, you don't get it... like, SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK" Frank, striking a pose<br />
<br />
In the moment, it was so funny that one girl fell off the couch laughing and took a few minutes to calm down. She's having trouble right now finding the words to explain the hilarity of the situation. All in all, the four sick friends in the Health Office had fun with each other, with friends, RA's, SRA's, with the chart, and made the best out of this potentially horrible situation.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, due to his illness during the Lip Sync Contest, [[User:Haxxy|Dan Salvato]] was unable to perform a romantic broadway-themed dance to the Pokemon Theme Song (which he spent weeks choreographing before CTY) with his partner Margaret Rigg, so the performance was canceled.<br />
<br />
===Schnader Hall Lockdown===<br />
<br />
Since it's been almost a year since this happened, I feel like this famous event should be recorded before too many of us forget.<br />
<br />
It was a lazy second Sunday morning on the 3rd floor of Schnader Hall, and I had just finished taking a shower. I was chilling, talking to people, and waiting for brunch to be served. As several of us were lounging in Schnader's 3rd floor lounge, an RA from a lower floor came up the stairs and said something about hearing gunshots. Confused, we all sat there for a moment, and continued about our business. Around 2 minutes later, my RA, Rob came in and said to everybody, "Everybody get to your rooms, we are on lockdown. Someone heard gunshots." <br />
<br />
Now we were very nervous. We all scrambled to our rooms and shut the doors tight. Unfortunately, my room was locked. I tried my key, but nothing happened. Luckily, Rob was still in the hallway and asked what I was doing. I then told him what had happened, and he whacked on the door a couple times, calling the person to open the door. Now I had no idea what had happened. Maybe the gunman had taken cover in my room and had barricaded himself in there! <br />
<br />
Luckily, moments later, a screeching could be heard and my door opened. I am not going to reveal who it was in there, to protect his privacy, even though many of you already know who it is. Nervous as crap by now, I dashed inside my room. For some reason though, my dorm window was open and the person was shouting to somebody outside. Fearing for our safety, I tried to close the window, when I realized the person was holding a phone and talking to a cop. Really scared now, I backed away to my bed. <br />
<br />
Seconds later, I heard a knocking. Looking through the peephole of my door, I saw three police officers with body armor, and Police version M1 carbines. Relieved, I opened the door. They soon began asking us what had happened. The caller said he had heard gunshots, laughing, and a cry of "Is he dead? Is he dead?" By this point, the caller was extremely upset, and they figured it would be better off if they asked him questions in private. They allowed me and my roommate to return to our room. <br />
<br />
5 minutes later, an announcement was made, and certain dorms were allowed to go to brunch. Naturally, many of us thought thought that this was incredibly stupid. As far as we knew, there was still a gunman somewhere out on the campus. Grouping America's future together in one crowded cafeteria seemed to be very unwise. Little did we know, that a clear signal was tentatively given, and they figured that we should at least eat. <br />
<br />
For the first time, we were allowed to talk to other people about what had happened. As we talked, a slow realization came upon me. I knew what the caller had heard! Earlier that day, someone had walked into our lounge from our microwave room, laughing hysterically. When we asked him why he was laughing so hard, he told us what happened. He, along with others, had been trying to kill a moth. They had managed to chase the moth into the microwave, and effectively cooked it. He noted that it had made a popping sound. We of course, thought nothing of it at the time and remarked how each of us would never use the microwave again. <br />
<br />
Returning from this flashback, I unveiled my conclusion. There was never any gunshots at all! It was instead the popping of the moth in the microwave! This theory was not exactly correct however, as I never heard about a flip flop being involved. But this theory was the catalyst in figuring out what had happened. <br />
<br />
Later, we were able to piece together exactly what had happened. Several people were in the Microwave room. In there, they saw a moth. As Schnader Hall 3rd floor is infested with moths, the leaped at the opportunity to kill it. Literally. They had been jumping up all over the place, using flip flops to kill it but often missing. The resulting miss still hit the wall though, and I am sure that everybody is familiar with the sound of a flipflop hitting a surface at a fast speed. They were laughing, asking if it was dead in loud voices, and just causing a ruckus. I however, heard none of this as it happened. Meanwhile in my room, the caller had awoken from a sleepover from the previous night. He awoke to the sound of loud popping, laughing, and cries of "Is it dead yet?". Naturally, being half-asleep and a squirrel, he panicked. He dialed 911 and reported gunshots in Schnader hall. And that is where my story began.<br />
<br />
Epilogue:<br />
On one of the last days of CTY, the caller received a package. It was a hat and a certificate from the Lancaster police department. The certificate was one of thanks for "cool thinking and fast action in the face of potential crisis." or something like that. The best possible response to this goes to Ben Levy: "Cool thinking? What the hell? That wasn't cool thinking at all, he thought that people trying to kill a moth were crazed gunmen!!!!"<br />

===Pantsless Macarena Line===<br />
<br />
During the final dance of Session 2, the songs Sexy Back and BLT were played back to back. The Macarena and Sexy Back had been combined at CTY before, but not in a manner such as this. Following BLT, a small group of students rushed to the ASFC track where it overlooked the dance floor. They then began to form a Macarena line similar to the one formed at the last dance in the ASFC, but with one vital difference: their pants had been left off following BLT. As the song went on, the line grew, until only a small portion of the dancers were pantsless, the other ones either wearing dresses, or leaving their pants on. And that was how the Pantsless Macarena Line was born. <br />
<br />
Previous to this, the Macarena was also done during other rap-ish songs as well. Thus, during (I believe) the 3rd dance, the Macarena was played, but although some were actually doing the Macarena, a line of people refused to dance the Macarena to the correct song and instead performed the Generic Gangster Dance directly in front of the Macarena-ers. <br />
<br />

==2009.1==<br />
<br />
===400 Babies!===<br />
<br />
During 2009.1, a new rule was introduced that banned hugging for more than three seconds. This was not received well by the CTY community, and some started to make jokes about this. One popular joke was that it couldn't be fear of girls getting pregnant, because we were all educated people there and we knew how it actually worked. So, it must have been fear of the guys getting pregnant. [[User: D short|Declan Kennedy]], inspired by the PowerThirst commercial, mounted a plan to be hugged for longer than 3 seconds 400 times by the end of second session. He had gotten 400 long before the end of first. No idea when those babies are going to show up.<br />
<br />
===Pie Through the Window===<br />
<br />
During 2009, a swine flu scare sent many students home. Rudy Garcia was kept in the health office for a very long time because the admin and his parents had to arrange transportation back to California. He was there so long that his symptoms disappeared, but Baltimore ruled that he had to go home anyway and that he could not have visitors. Some enterprising friends of his began talking to him through the Health Office window. On the second Thursday, some Alcovians were talking to him through the windows. Zoe M. then played the Dr. Mario dance off her speakers, and Rudy and the Alcovians did it. After Dr. Mario, Zoe started playing "American Pie" for Rudy, because he would not get to attend another dance. The Alcovians and Rudy's friends then did a full rendition of it, albeit with some switched positions because the official ones were not there. (Erik Goldberg as the Jester, Zoe as the queen/Fire, Bill Fedullo as king/Jack Flash.) There was no Afterdance because of everyone having to go to class, but Rudy seemed very happy. There were also plans to go and American Pie sick nomore Colin Stanfill, but his parents picked him up before that could happen.<br />
<br />

See [[Second Sunday]].<br />
<br />
===The Walking Afterdance===<br />
<br />
On second Saturday, a variety of unfortunate things occurred at the dance that are discussed in detail on the Hall of Shame. The last of these was the appearance of lightning, which caused the RAs to begin ushering students back to their dorms. Instead of abandoning the Afterdance for one night, there occurred a walking afterdance that was incredibly surreal as well as incredibly awesome, everyone shouting the songs with such emotional intensity that, to this editor, captured the feeling of CTY perfectly.<br />
<br />
Walking Afterdances have continued to occur whenever there is lightning after the dances.<br />
<br />
===Dimbyism===<br />
<br />
Once upon a time, there was an awesome Number Theory TA called Dimby. He developed a cult following in class, which spread across campus via a loud and rancorous song. Indeed, the THEO.B class loved their Dimby so much that they developed a variation of a famous and ages-old Number Theory song (only the Dimbytized variation of which will be written here):<br />
<br />
We have Dimby<br /><br />
Great big Dimby<br /><br />
Teaching through night<br /><br />
Not beautiful sight<br /><br />
We have Dimby<br /><br />
Great big Dimby<br /><br />
YYYYYAAAHH!<br />
<br />
Other variations of the song were created, notably one about a cripple. The original song itself could be heard, as usual, resounding across the quad on many-a-day. The Dimby version was particularly audible on the last CTY Friday, when the THEO.B class transported Dimby to Keiper held aloft on a pool mattress. Dimby himself became a widely recognized person among many CTYers (his appearance at a dance resulted in over fifty nearby students bowing down to him in supplication), and his glory has converted many students to Dimbyism.<br />
<br />
During second session, the THEO.A class, also sang this song, (but we didn't know that this song existed already), replacing trucking with proving, and the fourth line staying the same. Awkward thing is, that we called our religion Dimbyism as well... We must have a special connection.<br />
<br />
===The Artificial Creation of a Meme===<br />
<br />
On one of the last days of 2009.1, some campers sat down in LLRT and decided that they would create a meme just to see how fast it would spread. The meme was this: The sentence "1 part cranberry, 2 parts orange juice, 5 parts root beer, it's delicious!" repeated as quickly and as often as possible. It was spread throughout the campus until most, if not all, people had heard of it. It is a prime example of the memetic effect of information propagating throughout a society for no purpose other than the lulz.<br />
<br />
==2010.1==<br />
<br />
===TOPI Insanity, or, TOPI BOYS <3 THE PEEN===<br />
<br />
The Utopias and Dystopias class of 2010.1 became quite notorious for their general rowdiness, overwhelming love for naked time, and the fact that all the boys in the class were either gay, bisexual, or otherwise attracted to males. The default state of the TOPI girls in their hall in South Schnader 2 was partially naked, sometimes fully naked, like during one particular sleepover that began with a game of strip never have I ever. The war chant of TOPI was to simply shout NAKED TIME!, and several other TOPI classmates would invariably respond with cheers and more NAKED TIME. Ironically, the one time four TOPI girls ended up in the same shower stall, three of them were fully clothed.<br />
<br />
The TOPI girls played an unending stream of ruthless pranks on each other, which terrified their hallmates, the Crafting the Essay A girls, and stimulated intense hatred in the Physics B girls, who lived across the hall and were disgusted by the TOPI girls' lack of conservatism. One TOPI girl played a stream of pranks on a second one who couldn't poop when others were in the bathroom, like dumping an entire bottle of baby powder on her head while she was pooping or taking pictures of her over the stall wall. A pair of roommates kept up a humorous war throughout the session; one was afraid of Jello, one was afraid of feet. One day after dinner the first girl entered her room to discover that her roommate had smuggled six cups of Jello out of the dining hall and dumped them all on her bed. The next morning, the second girl was woken up by the first girl's feet in her face. Eventually, Jello was thrown, Silly String was shot, and the rest of the hall was so inspired by the chaos that water ices were smushed in faces and people were attacked with shaving cream.<br />
<br />
Other antics involved two TOPI girls running around Schnader in a nothing but underwear and a large tube of fabric, declaring themselves to be a chinese dragon, followed by a girl in a leopard snuggie, for no reason other than that snuggies are awesome. TOPI often ended up down in the South Schnader basement to visit the CODE C girls, who expressed extreme appreciation for naked time and TOPI in general. CODE girls often visited TOPI girls and in one instance pelted them with duct tape while the TOPI girls were being yelled at by SRA Megan. It should be noted that the CODE C girls in question had almost decided to come up shirtless but did not. The crypto girls expressed their extreme remorse for not doing so afterward for it would have made for intense hilarity. TOPI girls had nightly illegal sleepovers; one girl slept in her own bed all of three nights throughout the entire session. Late-night illegal sleepover activities included throwing paper airplanes covered with sexual innuendoes out the window and pelting one TOPI girl with full water bottles when she refused to get off the phone with her boyfriend.<br />
<br />
Many TOPI rooms were decorated with bras (or in one case, a chastity belt made out of duct tape) hanging from the ceiling. The large quoteboard page hanging in the hallway, meant for doodles, was adorned with the large statements "NAKED TIME 22:00," "BOYS IN TOPI <3 THE PEEN, ESPECIALLY IN THEIR ORFICES," and "I WANT TO DO DIRTY THINGS TO YOUR MOIST BUTTHOLE." A book of gay erotica (purchased at a used bookstore for $5) was kept hidden in someone's dorm room, only to emerge for dramatic readings during sleepovers, and on the last day the receipt for its purchase turned up mysteriously covered in baby oil. A TOPI girl had a phobia of the words moist and musky; as a result, Betty Crocker Warm Delights (THE BEST THINGS EVER) were referred to as Moist Delights for the whole session and the word musk was thrown in whenever possible, especially in reference to vaginas.<br />
<br />
The ridiculousness was not limited to the TOPI girls. The TOPI boys' extreme sexuality and touchy-feely-ness forced their instructor to make a rule allowing only one boy to go to the bathroom at a time. A regular reprimand of the class was for them all to stop touching each other, and at any possible time TOPI held indoor grass orgies in the center of the classroom. Just like the TOPI girls. TOPI boys did some awesome/highly CTY-I things. From gaorgies to taping the door of their RA shut, mattress dominos, and more gaorgies. One day when activities were rained out, the TOPI boys held a Ke$ha dance party in their bathroom. They were only told to stop when their RA realized that Ke$ha's "Blah Blah Blah" isn't exactly the most CTY-A song.<br />
<br />
Three TOPI-ers famously got sent to the DRL during the third dance for "simulating oral sex" on a fourth TOPI-er, when in reality they were merely having their picture taken while pretending to nom on his butt. While the three spent an hour in DRL Bree's office, a rumor spread throughout the dance that they had been sent to the office for licking people's elbows, a result of the elbow-licking craze that had started in TOPI and spread through the rest of the campus. Continuing the trend of rule-breaking (by the end of the session, TOPI had broken more rules than it had followed), five TOPI girls got busted for an illegal sleepover on the third Monday and for punishment were made to clean up the dining hall for 15 minutes after breakfast and dinner. The punishment ended up being ridiculously enjoyable, and the girls became BFFs with Earl, the totally awesome man who checked for CTY IDs at the entrance. The punishment became known retroactively as the funishment.<br />
<br />
==2010.2==<br />
<br />
===The Great 599===<br />
<br />
Muhlenberg 2 10.2 was a rather special hall, being both a THEO hall and a TOPI hall. This combination of two classes with reputations for attracting hardcore CTYers meant this hall had great things in store for it. <br />
<br />
One of the stunts best remembered by the hall came to be known as "The Great 599". Through various channels, the hall was able to acquire a total of 600 off-brand copies of the famous red Solo Cup (Kroger brand, to be precise, and there were some blue ones too). One night, following lights out, much of Muhlenberg 2 left their rooms, and set to work. <br />
<br />
Using the 27 gallons of water that Ryan and Noah had collected in various empty bottles and jugs, as well as an additional 33 gallons from jugs refilled during the prank, the hall outside Blaise's door was full within the hour. And so began the waiting game. Most of the hall expected Blaise to wake up late, after they had already gone to class. However, unbeknownst to the hall, Blaise had been out on patrol that night. <br />
<br />
Around 2:00 in the morning, Blaise returned to his hall, two members of the prank team waiting in the lounge in hopes of catching his reaction. As Blaise asked them why they were in the lounge, they silently led him through the door into the hall itself. Their celebratory cries alerted the rest of the hall, who congregated outside to see the reaction. After he had been sufficiently pranked, a path was cleared in the cups for Blaise to walk through. Once he had gotten into his room, a few of those involved took it upon themselves to fix the prank. They emptied out all of the cups and [http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs146.ash2/40658_1542734537277_1502385115_1347671_2862142_n.jpg stacked them in the bathroom], leaving one solitary cup sitting outside of Blaise's room. They then retired to the lounge to eat ramen with a glowstick until they passed out at various wee hours of the morning.<br />
<br />
One member of the hall, who had not been part of the prank, summed up the event with a quotation: "WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO NOISY, AND WHY IS IT TWO A.M.?" (We answered that it was 2 AM because time flows linearly. Some later argued that time flows more like a parabola.)<br />
<br />
A video of Blaise's reaction is available at http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1436169137130.<br />
<br />
You can also find a series of photos taken in a stop-motion style at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=30442&id=100000121159312&l=6d818727ba (by Noah Goldstein) or at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2075472&id=1216741875 (by Theo Hong)<br />
<br />
There remains one question, though. Why 599 cups?<br />
<br />
It's simple; 600 would have been too many. <br />
<br />
The hall (including RA Blaise) proceeded to make a few other uses of those same cups until the end of session, as detailed on the [[Hall:LAN#10.2_M.C3.BChlenberg_2|Hall page]].<br />
<br />
===Astro Vs. Pbio===<br />
<br />
Vienna Harvey and Liz O'Neill took Paleobiology together in 2009. In 2010, they signed up for Astronomy together. This act led them to be declared traitors by Richard, the Pbio TA. After a few days of continued taunting and argument over which class was better, Richard challenged the Astronomy class to an Astro-Pbio Ultimate Frisbee game, which would continue until second Thursday. On this day, the winning class would have first choice of seats on the shared bus for both class field trips to the Smithsonian. Astro won, 6-2.<br />
<br />
For a while after the field trip there was relative peace between the rival classes, although the Astro students were clamoring to play a prank on Pbio. Finally, Astro TA Lauren agreed. The Pbio classroom was invaded by binocular-weilding astronomers who wrote "THE ROMULANS ARE COMING!!!!" on the chalkboard, thoroughly confusing the Pbio kids, who were ignorant of such higher ideas. Richard challenged Lauren to a break-key match, and won, but everyone knows that was just a matter of luck, and no indication of Pbio's superiority (which is, of course, a ludicrous idea. As Vienna and Liz told Richard, in 2009 Pbio was better because Vienna and Liz were in it. In 2010, Astro was better, for the same reason).<br />
<br />
Pbio retaliated by taping astrology charts to the door of the Astro classroom. Much to the annoyance of the students, Astro teacher Jason refused to let them play further pranks on Pbio. Instead, the Astro class resorted to ignoring Pbio's prank entirely--it was so bad it didn't even deserve recognition.<br />
<br />
In 2011, at least two of the Astro girls plan to attend Pbio. Stay tuned...!<br />

===DO THE MUFFIN...BOOM!===<br />
<br />
During the second Acting Improv of 2011.1, Yida Cai asked the sphinx a seemingly ordinary question: "O, great and mighty Sphinx...Do you know the Muffin Man?" The sphinx responded, "Do the muffin man." Because of the potential sexual interpretation of this answer, [[User: knight7770|Alex Kohanski]] turned to [[User: Ajay|Ajay Nadig]] and said "It's a dance!" Then, on a spot to the side of the Acting Improv circle, they proceeded to choreograph a simple, but beautiful dance.<br />
<br />
[http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/268359_2281462115002_1202283438_32733129_7172265_n.jpg Picture of Ajay and Kohanski doing the muffin for the first time]<br />
<br />
Within the next week, the muffin became a meme around the quad, making its way into [http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/282602_2281643759543_1202283438_32733743_1329179_n.jpg numerous breakdance circles (Ajay and Kohanski pictured)] and Acting Improv jokes. Kohanski and Ajay were astounded to find random people doing the dance they had created. The Muffin was performed to numerous songs, especially the Nyan Cat song. It is likely that a dance of such calibre will persevere throughout the ages. <br />

=== Breakfast Congratulations ===<br />
<br />
One seemingly normal morning as CTYers walked in for breakfast a few people noticed an at first, small camp made up of a few Alcovians sitting in front of the main doors just outside of the arches. At first their intentions may have been unknown, but as people entered the dining hall applause followed. Soon more people began joining their humble, applauding camp and the group of CTYers expanded to continue their approval of fellow CTYers' choice of eating breakfast through applause. This continued, even towards a few campers attending the soccer camp (notorious for [http://i.imgur.com/YybpG.jpg spelling]), until one of the Lancastrian administrators disbanded the now bustling group of CTYers.<br />
<br />
===RACCOONS===<br />
<br />
"You could cut the sexual tension in this room with a knife". These were the words used by a CTYer to describe the Philosophy of Mind class in 2011.1. The girls in this class, along with some of the ladies in HDIS B were united under Jen, the hottest (female) RA on campus, in the hall that infamously became known as the Raccoons. Some offenses of these rowdy kids were walking around shirtless, taking group showers, and too much "boy talk" during hall meetings. Many Raccoons chose not to sleep at night, and instead talked through walls, or called their male friends in Schnader/Thomas. While this behavior was not okay with the SRAs, the Racoons used their good looks and seductive charm to get away with everything. They were best known for their classy and straight to the point chant, yelled whenever entering a formal event, of "Who are we? Raccoons! What do we want? Boys! When do we want them?! NOW!" Some other favorite raccoon activities included excessive PDA in the canoodle bushes, napping during class, and the stalking of a certain Joseph Curran. And occasionally Christian. And everyone else. Oh and making friendship bracelets.<br />
<br />
===Za or Pizza Time===<br />
The song Za, a staple of the 11.1 Session was actually first introduced in the 10.1 session by one, Paul Quigley, who had showed it to his Theo.B hall as a song that he made himself with a friend back home. It was kept mainly under wraps during 10.1, mostly only known to the Theo and Code.C halls who shared it with glee. However, during 11.1, the song was revived by Sam Fishman, a zombie nomore who had been in Quigley's Theo.B class the year before. Fishman spread it through the current Theo.B class to the Alcove, where it took on a new life and was celebrated every day at 6:09, known as "Pizza Time" by being sung by the entire Alcove. The song became so popular, that a petition was sought to try and get it played at the dance, though the song was completely NSFW, Fishman created a SFW version on his computer using intense music magic and played it for SRA John Moses, who then approved it for use at a dance. Unfortunately, it never was played at a dance, but was sung by Fishman and Rudy Garcia at an open-mic night held at one Quad Time session.<br />

===The Worst Story Ever Written===<br />
<br />
Having been imported by Mullin, the reading of the worst thing ever written. Trumping the previously '''Worst Story Ever Written''', ''My Immortal'', ''Metroid High School'' took the throne. Lacking a logical plot and simple grammar, it was concluded that this fan-fiction was created by the Worst-Author-Ever-To-Have-Existed or the Best-Literary-Troll-Ever-To-Have-Existed. The plot of a high school drama revolved around the characters of the game '''Metroid'''. The story was read throughout LAN.11.1 and an audiobook was found and replaced the reading. Here is a link to the first chapter.<br />

==2011.2==<br />
<br />
===The "Anonymous Box"===<br />
<br />
At the end of 2011.2, a number of campers made a prefabricated, person-sized tinfoil box with which to prank RA Jeff Sachs. On the last full day of the session, Jeff opened the door to his room to a small tinfoil room that was constructed out of tinfoil. He made his way through a small opening into a second tinfoil room, filled with paper hearts and plastic cups (a reference to the 599 cups prank). It took roughly eight hours to premake the tinfoil sheets, and about three hours to assemble. The prank name comes from the fact that, the day before, Jeff received a miniature version of the prank in the form of a small tinfoil box filled with paper hearts. Not knowing what to do with it, he taped it to the wall beside his door and called it the "Anonymous Box," unaware that the box he received would foreshadow the later prank.<br />

===Chesterqcarter===<br />
<br />
The man... the myth... the legend.<br />
<br />
On July 17, an unassuming CTYer boarded the train to Lancaster. Unbeknownst to him, a fellow CTYer was in the same train, and noticed his many lanyards. Recognizing him from the previous year, she excitedly texted her friend, who, meaning to type "Is his name Chester or Carter?", typoed "Is his name Chesterqcarter?" instead. Thus, the CQC fanclub was born, and grew rapidly during LAN 11.2, comprised mainly of Pop Culture girls. His fans were especially excited whenever he was spotted with his top hat or pedo bear, which he most often had at the dances and Acting Improv, respectively. When he was spotted, his fans would shout "CHESTER-Q-F**KIN-CARTER!". A great time was had by all, and the fanclub continues to carry out its duties through the medium of Facebook.<br />
Chesterqcarter's given name is neither Chester nor Carter.<br />
<br />
It is also worth noting that Chester Q. Carter has become a session 1 position as of 12.1.<br />

===Ghosts of the Quad===<br />
On CTY Halloween, during quad time, two mysterious figures in white ran out of Thomas hall and throughout the quad. At one point, they even danced at the dance show that was occurring at the moment. Their attempts to haunt the quad were repeatedly foiled by a (asian!) Ghostbuster who chased right back to where they came from. No ghost sightings have been reported since...<br />
<br />
Ok, you wanna know the truth?<br />

Kenjiro Lee decided it would be funny to prank the entire quad by dressing up as a Ghostbuster and chasing his two friends, David Hsu and Kevin Chen, around the quad. It proved really effective. And we got a good laugh because no one stopped us for running. Ok, maybe one guy tried to, but he figured out what we were doing and just laughed it off.<br />

===Neil "Soggy Raj" Limaye===<br />
During the second dance of the session, there was a slow dance going on. Neil entered into a slow dance circle. Samantha Ngan, the future Muse, put her hand on his back and exclaimed that Neil was, in fact, very soggy. Neil, not offended by this remark, took over the title of Soggy. From that point onward, Neil was forever known as Soggy. That's how Neil inherited his first nickname. His second nickname came through two sources. The first source was from the current Jester, Noah Goldstein. Noah Goldstein always had to correct himself when addressing Neil because he always wanted to say "Hello Raj". Upon telling him about this, it was greatly complimented and told to Noah that he was the only one in the entire site who could call him Raj on a regular basis. The second source was from a couple of his friends including Gina Foley. During a weekend hangout in Schnader lounge, he asked them which Big Bang Theory character he was most like. They all replied with Raj. Soon, everyone was calling Neil Raj along with Soggy. Upon saying his final goodbyes to both his friends at CTY and CTY itself, many people said goodbye by saying "Stay Soggy, Raj."<br />
<br />
Written by Neil. I love CTY and I love all of you guys so much.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Because Neil is awesome, his nickname is also written as "Sogieq".<br />

"What's brown and sticky?"<br />

Gina Foley: "[Neil] after a dance!"<br />

<br />
===I feel nauseous===<br />
During the stretch of time between dinner and study hall the evening of Second Sunday, a certain nomore girl named Jackie Liu felt particularly uneasy. This, however, did not stop her from socializing with her beloved friends, such as Venya Mayokovsky-Guschin. Venya, known for his rather intimate gestures of greetings, got in such close contact with Jackie that their bodies pressed together, and their faces were mere centimeters apart. His eyes bore lustfully into hers, but she couldn't help but to feel slightly sick. Perhaps it was due her unsettling hormones, or maybe it was a result of the amount of snacks from Turkey Hill she consumed during the preceding hall bonding. Although she adored Venya deeply, she said exactly as she felt: "I feel nauseous". Venya forwarded this gesture of intimacy with his fellow campers by greeting his friends with tender strokes on the cheeks and a hint of a kiss, soon followed by the same phrase, whispered sensually. Not long after, many a campers seemed to share a common sense of nausea while greeting each other.<br />
<br />
===The Gangly Gang===<br />
It all started with an awkward squirrel. This child (whose name is forever lost to the winds of time) asked Danny McClanahan where to find John Boysen. Danny being the quick-witted smartass he is, he answered "the gangly white kid who's not me or Venya," as Venya Mayakovsky-Gushchin walked up beside, resulting in great hilarity. This, after it was immediately communicated to JBoysee, became an inside joke on the scale of "also me," referred to many times throughout the session by campers of all ages. At one point (details are fuzzy (fuzieq <3) on this part), JBoysee had the brilliant observation that the group had become a sort of gang, which was denoted "the Gangly Gang." Danny then noted that this could totally be a 90s TV show. Since 90s TV shows always have ridiculous theme songs, a theme song was then improvised, which created a conga line of finger-snapping, from the dining hall all the way to the doors of North Ben. Neil being Neil, he intervened, and his charm and good looks quickly won over the Gangly Gang despite his overabundance of melanin and substandard height. From then on, the Gangly Gang referred to themselves as "the Gangly Gang (also Neil)." This continued until the final day, when Bryn Hammarberg, a onemore, was chosen as the successor to the Gangly Gang (fun fact: Bryn is the first member of the Gangly Gang without a distinctive hat), uniting gangly white kids to toe the line between awesome and facepalm-worthy. It is not known whether this shall continue for years to come.<br />
<br />
===Also Jonah===<br />
Saturdays where you need to Lancaster session 2. Like all sessions in Lancaster, they were filled with complete freedom, where the only obligation was going to the dance at 7:30 PM. During this time, a lot of the alcovians hung out in Schnader lounge. What they did there was something that no other session ever did. It was called couch time with Noah, Theo, and Jonah. It was like a radio show, but live and in person and in front of the audience. The thing about the show was that a lot of the times, Noah would be the one who was talking and most of his stories would be about his escapades with Theo. Jonah, feeling a little bit left out, would sometimes interject with "Also Me" to keep some of the direction that directed towards him. This became very popular throughout the campus, and people were saying "also me" in honor of him and to get their point in and to be included during multiple conversations. Even at the talent show, right after Noah Goldstein's performance, Jonah went up to the mic and said "also me". This became a very popular but also a very repetitive saying throughout the campus. This will forever be immortalized through the Internet.<br />
<br />
===Morty the Childsaur===<br />
A social experiment occured where Grace Kennedy and some others from her hall in South Ben (2A) placed a dinosaur with a baby head, who is and was affectionately called "Morty", around campus and watched what happened. Some people were rather violent, and did things like kicking and throwing the childsaur. Others showed their love for Morty by taking pictures/videos, praying to him, leaving him offerings, and even things like hugging and kissing the adored childsaur. Many people enjoyed seeing this friendly creature around campus. He was mentioned in many conversations and the occasional AI. Morty returned with Grace for her final two years of CTY, LAN 13.2 and LAN 14.2. We love you, Morty!!! <3. Morty returned yet again at lab 16.2, this time under the possession of camper Alex Burnside.<br />

===Tennis Campers Showdown===<br />
A rather interesting event took place during the Last Supper, but was not the Last Supper itself. <br />
<br />
Girls from the nearby tennis camps had joined CTYers for dinner, much to their dismay at CTY PDA. Most of them were in the KiVO line, where CTYers Derek Kim and Gustavo had engaged in conversation with said tennis campers, due to the conundrum of the KiVO line. One girl reportedly proclaimed, "Touching others are gross!" and "Touching someone spreads sooo many germs!" Derek and Gustavo, understandably irritated, proceeded to shake hands, hug, and bump fists, much to the girl's disgust. After stating that even KISSING was somewhat sinful, Derek, (the beast he was) told the girl that "you obviously haven't had a significant other in your life before." <br />
<br />
The girl was clearly offended. She turned to her fellow campers, claimed that tennis campers had more tradition, and chanted something along the lines of, "I feel so good, oh I feel so good, HUH!" <br />
<br />
By that time, many other CTYers had gathered around the commotion. Derek, Gustavo, and Andrea Tsao started screaming Afterdance chants. They picked up by every CTYer around. The overall noise was so loud that a CTYer inside their dorm claimed to hear it from the 3rd floor of North Ben. <br />
<br />
After the incident was broken up by RAs, the participating campers then proceeded to join the Last Supper traditions that were taking place. <br />
<br />
While being outside for the Passing of the Duck, the tennis campers passed by, chanting their "I feel so good" chant among jeers and other derogatory comments, and responded with the CTY chant. CTYers faced this with the utmost dignity and pride in their nerdiness.<br />
<br />
That is all.<br />

===Fanhammer===<br />
<br />
The Fanhammer is a large hammer made from cardboard boxes wrapped neatly in grey duct tape, with a band of glow-in-the-dark duct tape wrapped around the base of the handle. It also has a duct-tape wrist loop at the end of the handle, which requires frequent repair. It is quite sturdy and is a viable weapon for bopping people with. The holder of the Fanhammer is a position usually given to a two-more, passed down very unofficially at some point near the end of the session. The hammer was created by the hall of Max Franklin during 12.2, and the hammer was given to him to hold the following year, bearing the name "Mjolnir". Since then it has been customary for the holder of the Fanhammer to re-dub it with a name of their own choice. The holder of the hammer should carry it around during the session and use it to affectionately whack other CTYers. Recent legend has it, that as of April 16, 2017, a co-fanhammer will be instated, who, according to a legend, may carry around a duct tape nail to compliment the spirit of the Fanhammer.<br />

===Sherlock Reenactment===<br />
On several occasions during the first session, Milan Wolff stood on the Schnader Ledge in a complete Sherlock (of the television show) cosplay (unfortunately lacking Benedict Cumberbatch's voice), and reenacted Sherlock's scene on the hospital building at the end of Season Two. Often, an Alcovian would act as John, and they would complete the dialogue for the scene a few times. Due to an indestructible Nokia, Sherlock's act of throwing his phone dramatically aside could also be included. Due to shrubbery, The Fall could not truly be reenacted, which was lamentable indeed.<br />
<br />
==2013.2==<br />
<br />
===House Cup===<br />
During the second session of 2013, the RAs decided to split the different halls into four different magical houses, as described in the legendary ''Harry Potter'' series by J.K. Rowling. This prompted students to begin to make posters for their respective houses along with various large drawings adorned on open walls. For instance, the Ravenclaws of North Ben had a notable war with the Slytherins as they tried to outcompete each other with tape drawings of snakes and ravens. <br />
As for the actual competition, points were awarded to halls that were able to get to bed before lights out (Note: This feat was incredibly difficult to accomplish for obvious reasons, and thus points were rarely awarded for this reason), CTYers who displayed exemplary sportsmanship and kindness to their fellow CTYers, cleaning up plates in the dining rooms for friends, and other actions deemed points-worthy. <br />
Along with the competition, during the second week, the RAs planned a ''Harry Potter'' themed fair where campers had the chance to concoct potions with Snape (although these were not advised to be consumed, containing strange colorful liquids such as vinegar and baking soda that bubbled pleasantly when combined), create wands at Ollivander's, test their ''Harry Potter'' trivia knowledge, drink Butterbeer, and mass-marry their friends. <br />
The winners of the House Cup were announced at the Talent Show, along with the winners of various other competitions including the Ultimate Frisbee tournament, tennis tournament, Egyptian Rat Screw tournament, and soccer tournament. The campers who had attended all of the Fitness Bootcamp activity sessions were also given an award for their amazing dedication to physical fitness. Finally, much to the campers' surprise, the winning house was announced - Gryffindor! The announcement was greeted by much fanfare from the winning house, whose halls were subsequently awarded by being allowed to leave the Talent Show earlier than the other houses.<br />
<br />
===Edible Forks Return===<br />
Many older CTYers had been upset that the Kivo forks were no longer cornstarch-based, and thus no longer "edible." They now used a set of black plastic utensils that were not often recycled. (However, the black spoons were harder to mistake for the white spoons used in Blammo, which could have been a small advantage.) The CTY Admins and RAs designated a day to celebrate all birthdays occurring during the three weeks of CTY, and thus brought in an enormous vanilla and chocolate cake to be shared with all CTYers. And lo and behold, the edible biodegradable forks made a reappearance, prompting many young CTYers to attempt to consume the cornstarch utensils.<br />
<br />
===Television Crews' Arrival===<br />
The session was particularly special because a group of intellectually talented students from Greece arrived at camp for a part of the scholarship they received from CTY. The campers immediately assimilated themselves among the other CTYers, many becoming popular with the campers especially because their arrival prompted television crews to come in and videotape certain classes.<br />
<br />
==2014.1==<br />
<br />
===Unpause===<br />
The Unpause was a "family-friendly neighborhood language cult" formed the first Saturday of 14.1 by [[User:Qatarina|Katrina Howard]], Sophie Feldman, Nico Vallone, and Matisse Peppet. Nico started calling Katrina "Qatarina" (like the country) to annoy her; some conversation and a grammar mistake later, a list of rules had been created and passersby were being asked to introduce themselves. The rules were dubbed "The Unpause Clause" and are as follows:<br />
<br />
1. No plural<br />
<br />
2. All name country<br />
<br />
3. May or may not article<br />
<br />
4. No tense<br />
<br />
5. Occasional Spanish<br />
<br />
6. No French...EVER<br />
<br />
7. Qatarina have 7 oil<br />
<br />
8. All hail 8 spade<br />
<br />
9. qaTARina<br />
<br />
10. 10 rule<br />
<br />
By dinner, more than thirty people (including multiple staff members) were circled up outside of South Ben, chanting the rules. New people would be pulled in with shouts of "Introduce!" and "Name?"; their name would then be turned into a play on the name of a country (e.g. "Lily" might become "Lilthuania"); each person would introduce themself by their country name; the rules would be stated; if the person desired clarification of any rules, the rules would be explained; and then the Death Pop Quiz ("Death if and only if fail. No wish fail; therefore many generous hint if necessary.") would take place. The quiz consisted of the new cult member stating a specific rule. The explanations of rules generally followed the same pattern:<br />
<br />
1. No plural: all noun singular<br />
<br />
2. All name country: have country, like Qatar; mesh with name. Country name only name in Unpause--may not use pause name<br />
<br />
3. May or may not article: Unpause have free speech, so give choice. "A," "an," and "the" may be use or be omit, according to desire. All part speech (like preposition, conjunction, pronoun) may omit as well.<br />
<br />
4. No tense: verb not have tense. Use shorten infinitive. Example: Nicoragua be not good at use rule four. Use "be" since infinitive be "to be."<br />
<br />
5. Occasional Spanish: self-explanatory.<br />
<br />
6. No French...EVER: nothing against France or French culture, food, or people. Not even dislike language. Just use of French language prohibited.<br />
<br />
7. Qatarina have 7 oil: Qatarina come from Qatar. Qatar in Middle East, have much oil--7 oil. Nicoragua have 3 oil. Maltese have half oil. Sophinland have .7 oil. Amount oil roughly depend real world, geography. No one have more than 7 oil. <br />
<br />
8. All hail 8 spade: *hold up 8 spade card* 8 spade be deity. <br />
<br />
9. qaTARina: on pronunciation of Qatarina's name. Pronounce country name override pronounce pause name<br />
<br />
10. 10 rule: there be 10 rule. <br />
<br />
A few other notes: <br />
<br />
* The day Unpause was born, Matisse had drawn the seams and buttons onto Nico's flower pot, which he had painted blue and pink in a manner that resembled a polo shirt. It is a matter of debate within the founding members whether in the end Matisse or Nico did more work on the flower pot. The polo flower pot became the home of the 8 Spade card. At one point during a slightly homoerotic dorm room scuffle between Nico and his roommate Brady, the pot cracked. In a display of immense skill one breakfast time, Katrina used bright orange duct tape Matisse had lying around to keep it together.<br />
<br />
* All members have an oil count. Everyone (except Qatarina) has less than seven oil. Some people have negative oil. Each person makes up their own amount of oil, roughly based on their country.<br />
<br />
* Rule 6 was unintentionally caused by Ariel Rotter-Aboyoun. On the first Saturday, she was with Matisse, Nico, and Katarina, left to get laundry, and came back the first five rules of Unpause. (the name "Arielgentina" was suggested for her) After hearing rule five, she asked if French was allowed. She was quickly and emphatically told no, and this was declared the sixth rule. Ariel never joined Unpause, and always felt hurt hearing the sixth rule.<br />
<br />
* Rule 7 is based about the 7 oil qatarina have. These 7 oil be olive, peanut, baby, peppermint, lemon, extra virgin olive, and bath. Somewhat purposely leaving out actual oil. <br />
<br />
* Rule 8 came into existence because it was decided that the cult needed an object to worship, so the four founders brainstormed. Matisse happened to have an eight of spades that had been used as a straightedge for the drawing of a seam on the polo flower pot. Since it was a ruler, it only seemed fitting to declare it a deity.<br />
<br />
* Rule 10 was suggested by David May (country name Dåland, but usually called Davemark to annoy him) when the four founders were looking for a tenth rule to round out the number of rules they had.<br />
<br />
Unpause meetings were held daily before morning class. The Unpause doctrine grew more sophisticated, like cavemen doing the first crude cave drawings. A list of clarifications, written on the second Sunday without regards to any grammar, is as follows: <br />
<br />
* allowed to remove any words so long as the gist of the meaning is able to be understood<br />
<br />
* no disruptive unpauses<br />
<br />
* allowed to use any language so long as it is not French and is occasionally Spanish<br />
<br />
* French words adopted into English are neither condoned nor condemned<br />
<br />
* if a noun is always plural, use a synonym<br />
<br />
* if a word is both singular and plural, add "ie" to the end (e.g. one deerie, two deerie) <br />
<br />
* dueling protocol: if one does not accept apology or gets into other trouble, one may request a duel. Both people play ninja, frisbee (every time successful throw, one step back), thumb war, or 10 pace pistol. If cannot agree-- 10 pace pistol. Death = intense humiliation from everyone present.<br />
<br />
* after introduce-> polite clapping<br />
<br />
* all 8 spade hailworthy <br />
<br />
* country pronounce overrule name pronounce<br />
<br />
Saying "unpause" (or being in "the unpause") means one is then required to speak according to the Unpause Clause; conversely "pause" temporarily halts the speaking of the language. Sometimes, after the world had recently been paused, Unpause language would bleed into the pause. This phenomenon was dubbed "Midpause" and could be quite awkward if those being talked to were unaware of Unpause. However, not many people escaped the clutches of Unpause entirely, probably due to the fact that a group of thirty people chanting in unison isn't exactly hard to miss. Several cult jokes were made in Acting Improv and "All hail 8 buzzsaw" (in reference to the glowstringing move) became a joke among a group of people who were not members.<br />
On the second Wednesday, it was decided that an 8 Spade hymn was needed, and, after deciding against parodying the Gloria Patri, the Ode to 8 Spade was born. Sung to the tune of "O Christmas Tree," the lyrics are as follows:<br />
<br />
All hail 8 Spade<br />
<br />
All hail 8 Spade<br />
<br />
Giver of language rule<br />
<br />
All hail 8 Spade <br />
<br />
All hail 8 Spade<br />
<br />
(The) passive seer of our world<br />
<br />
The membership of Unpause ranked in the fifties or sixties by the end of the session. Many members were squirrels, though the cult drew in returners as well. Some people were frightened of Unpause and chose to not join; however, many of these people ended up learning the rules nonetheless. <br />
<br />
There was some talk of creating an Afterdance chant for The Unpause, but sadly, this was not possible due to things.<br />
<br />
On Second Saturday, the carnival was themed International and there was an activity for CTYers to paint their own flags. Sophie and Katrina decided to make an 8 Spade flag in the ten minutes before an Unpause meeting was due to begin. On a section of red butcher paper, an eight of spades design was hastily painted. The flag was very beautiful. After the meeting that day, it was taped to North Ben, outside Nico's third-floor window. The flag was taken down later that day after a no-knock raid by the administration but was glorious while it lasted. For some reason, the SRA refused to believe that Nico did not, in fact, open his window (and thus violate window-opening rule) but rather scaled the building to hang the flag. The SRA failed to recognize that in order to take the flag down, the window would have to be opened.<br />
<br />
Unpause faced religious persecution once, during an afternoon meeting on Second Saturday. A girl with an aluminum foil scythe came over to the meeting and mimed murdering half of the circle while a story about eggplants was being told. Politely enduring this genocide, Unpause turned the other cheek until the girl was satisfied with her rampage and skipped away. The remaining members then tuned back into the riveting narrative being told by Brodeman Empire (Brady Itkin).<br />
<br />
Also on Second Saturday, it was learned that Samanada had received a new, fluffy puppy named Tater. The girl's iPhone was passed around the circle so that everyone might see a picture of the newly named Taterland (like Ireland; fitting because of the potato association). It was decided that Taterland was the mascot of 8 spade as well as the president of Nepal (where no potatoes grow). A duel that day consisted of the Bradaman Empire (Brady Itkin) and Nicoragua (Nico Vallone) filibustering on the topic of Taterland as the president of Nepal. The one who talked longest without messing up a rule of The Unpause Clause won. Nicoragua lost the duel.<br />
<br />
Nicoragua, despite being a founding member and generally very bad at the grammar, tended to infringe upon the rules very often, which led to many duels. In fact, he was a part of every duel held in Unpause that session . . . and lost every duel. After losing each duel, he 'died': accepting humiliation from each member of the Unpause present one at a time in a hilariously inefficient process.<br />
<br />
On the last Tuesday of the session, the daily meeting was moved to 6:20 PM. Instead of trying to draw in new members, the meeting was focused on rehashing the past. Members were introduced, as were the rules, but then people read the clarifications and sang Ode to 8 Spade. Finally, the four founding members told the story of Unpause from the beginning. When they reached the end of the story, they intended to end Unpause forever.<br />
<br />
However, they were shocked as members began inquiring about the future and there was a movement to continue it in 15.1. In the words of Nicoragua: 'Had no idea that people actually gave shit about Unpause.' To which members replied: 'shit given.' In the few minutes before class began, people interested in doing unpause in 15.1 came forward. No one person was chosen to carry Unpause on; instead, the interested persons formed a council. However, this list was lost and the council did not happen, so instead, Unpause was carried on in 15.1 by Qatarina. <br />
<br />
Unpause carried through during 15.1, when Qatarina held the 8spade and poll flower pot. After the session it was decided by 16.1 nomores to introduce the Unpause rules as an Afterdance chant. Qatarina, who was still in possession, passed the 8spade and polo flower pot down to [[User:Shprinkles|Victanzania]] at MIT Splash! 2015, and created the position of Unpause Priest(ess). It be hope that Unpause continue for many century. <br />
<br />
Unpause carried variable emotional associations. For some, it was a joke; for others, a way of feeling a part of a community; still others felt it was a method for meeting new people; and some even found they cared about Unpause, the stories, and the memories. All hail 8 spade!<br />
<br />
===Unpause Priest(ess)===<br />
<br />
The Unpause Priest(ess) is the person (or people) who holds the polo flower pot and the original holy 8spade of your favorite family-friendly neighborhood language cult, [[Memories:LAN#Unpause|Unpause]]. The Unpause was started in 14.1 by Matisse Peppet, Katrina Howard, Nico Vallone, and Sophie Feldman during the first Saturday carnival, and grew in strength and members throughout the session. During 15.1, Katrina was the only remaining creator who returned. The Unpause kept a low profile, but the spirit remained, and the 16.1 nomores promised to revitalize the cult for the next year as an Afterdance chant. The Priest is responsible for keeping the cult alive and dangerous and beautiful, as it should be. It should be noted that the Priest should not exactly be treated as a position in the traditional sense (for instance, it has never been passed at Passionfruit but rather at an informal ceremony). Rather, one should view the Priest as a democratic leader within the Unpause only (which is clearly the entire world, anyway).<br />

===Forevermore Videos===<br />
During 1st Week, Kenjiro Lee had the idea to film videos for various Lancaster forevermores he was friends with and put out a Facebook call asking if anyone wanted a message from their friends at Session 1. Needless to say, the response was huge: around 50 people requested videos. Kenjiro managed to get all of them done over the session, with varying degrees of quality (some turned out a little awkward), but others ended up documenting fairly significant parts of 14.1 that otherwise would not have been documented, including:<br />
<br />
* A cover of "Hooked on a Feeling."<br />
* Thomas's "26 Foot Penis" song.<br />
* People singing Anna Sun.<br />
* JIB, Megan, Brady, Sammy, and Spencer inexplicably improvising elaborate stories about Kenjiro.<br />
* People seductively eating bananas.<br />
* Kylie, Robby, Ryan, Kenjiro, and Lois staring into the camera for about ten seconds before cracking up.<br />
<br />
===The Sung-Through American Pie===<br />
<br />
The legendary [[Hall of Shame:LAN#Laundry|Laundry Run]] of 13.1 left an outstanding legacy. The night before the last dance of 14.1, there came a knocking at the doors: an ISO check. Realizing the danger, an emergency text send-out to quite a few people prevented a huge ISO bust, but two nomores were caught. As a result, they were banned from attending the last dance, much to everyone's anger. To make up for them missing their last "American Pie," shortly after the Afterdance a group of students led by John Boland formed a circle, threw the two nomores into it, and began belting out "American Pie." Those left on the quad after the Afterdance (almost everyone, actually) soon joined in and the entire thing was performed. It was an emotional moment.<br />
<br />
The ISO check caused some confusion: no one is sure what prompted it, unlike last year where a parent calling the police after not hearing from their child caused the huge bust. The best explanation one can give is it was a result of last year's bust. Their were plans to change the CTY chant to this:<br />
<br />
CTY HAS NICE QUADS<br><br />
CTY WE LOVE YOU<br><br />
ADMIN IMPOSED<br><br />
ADMIN IMPOSED<br><br />
CTY WHAT HAPPENED?<br />
<br />
But then Radhika accidentally shouted "Do your laundry!" and that was the end of that.<br />
<br />
===The Dave===<br />
<br />
The Dave is a session two position created in session 1 of 2014 by [[User:theliteraldave|David May]], who is the eternal session 1 The Dave. It began as a gimmick, because whenever Dave would introduce himself, he would say "Hi, I'm Dave," resulting in someone else chiming in, "He's Dave," and someone else "Yeah he's Dave," "It's the Dave," etc. The Dave, as is written in the The Dave notebook, is given to a person who is best at being themselves, doing whatever they want to do, knowing when it is appropriate to break or bend the rules, who can make a fool of themselves any time of the day through awkwardness, clinical insanity, the need to dance to any song by flailing about, and air-guitaring vigorously to the second half of Stairway to Heaven. Essentially, The Dave is given to whatever onemore has best embodied the OD and the example he set during his time at session 2. The Dave, besides being a position of flaunting your vibrant personality, has a digital watch that is passed down to be worn on lanyards, akin to how the style in which the OD wore it, and a The Dave notebook serving as the doctrine for The Dave's sacred order and detailing the specifics and duties of The Dave, along with the prophecy held sacred to all The Dave's. <br />
<br />
During Lancaster 14.2, [[User:dihalikias| Diana Halikias]] had the honor of being the first non-OD Dave. The entire site quickly learned of this important position, and witnessed an iconic passing-down during 14.2 Passionfruit. Diana first passed The Dave to her fellow nomore [[User:Matias "Mavs" Gonzalez| Matias "Mavs" Gonzalez]], who then returned it to the OD. The OD finally passed it to Drew Hill. The Dave is a position that is passed down with flair each year; in the case of 14.2, it involved Matias as an honorary Dave. <br />

===TOPI-B Wild===<br />
<br />
14.2, TOPI-B was a wild class, taught by Brent Krammes with the legendary TA Ruth A. Book (Original Form). The warriors of this class included: John Issac Boland (JIB), Louis Herman (master analyzer of V for Vendetta), Claire Borecki, Angelique Fenton (Mama Fenton), Drew Hill (dsmallmountain), Thomas Godwin (T-GOD), Hannah Hildebolt (hanlax), Annabelle Hutchinson, Andrew Javens (preppy tourist), Mona Lee (mona sa lee), Christian Lillie, Grace Nie (the cute pie), Ellie Taylor, Allison Tielking (tielqueen), and Andrea Tsao. Before this class, all these people were strangers. None of them knew each other at all. From the second night of camp, TOPI-B wild.<br />
<br />
Both halls were the stuff of legends. In the TOPI-B guys' hall, was the Suite. The Suite consisted of Louis Herman, Andrew Javens, Christian Lillie, and John Boland. This was the most attractive suite in history. One night, three members gathered to watch Cow Belles, a Disney original movie starring Aly and Aj. While the other three were watching the movie, the fourth talked to his lesbian S.O. over Skype. A fight club was never ever ever even considered. Not even once. Two students didn't decide to start a bare-knuckles Brad Pitt and Edward Norton style ring. It definitely did not end after one night. It didn't exist, so it totally wasn't the most pathetic fight club in history. Nobody got a black eye. What are you even talking about?<br />
<br />
The TOPI-B girls' hall was, if at all possible, even gayer and wilder. However, due to all the girls being such rule-abiding students, and despite many members of the hall being bisexual (and the rest being pretty heteroflexible), nobody hooked up. Ever. They didn't. Shut up. Several of the girls were eventually barred from the last dance because they were caught having one of their many ISOs (and possibly an incident involving tea leaves).<br />
<br />
TOPI-B discovered that birthmarks don't have to be on your body from birth, and don't have to last more than a few hours (or a few days in the case of the more enthusiastic students), especially those on the neck.<br />

<br />
===The Whip===<br />
A seemingly harmless dance of the CTY-I Nasty Freestyle by Megan Howard and Catalina Ruiz-Jimenez turned into the dance of the session. They proceeded to do it whenever and wherever to the annoyance of Gene and hardcore CTYers. Megan, who played Columbia in Rocky Horror, did the Whip during the words "He had a pickup truck", which resulted in loud cheers and groans from the crowd.<br />
<br />
===Gene the Gnome===<br />
The Jester, Gene, was a abnormally short man under 5' 6" whose life was turned upside down by Yik Yak. His height was a constant topic of AI and meal time. He was known as a gnome for most of the session which sparked many ideas such as asking the Great Sphinx why he was short, working at a gnome factory during Late to Work, and more.<br />
<br />
This was the feed of Yik Yak at one time:<br />
*GENE THE BEAN DIDN'T GET WATERED ENOUGH AS A SEEDLING<br />
*GENEALINA only exists in Gene's dream<br />
**Genealina was a common ship between Gene and Catalina, a hot One Hit Wonder<br />
*Genetics 101: A Gene at gene will stay at gene unless acted upon by a greater and/or stronger GENE<br />
*Heard on campus: "What did Gene (allegedly) do now?"<br />
*Gene is a bean to the extreme<br />
*Gene is a gentleman and a scholar<br />
*Gene does not have a nice butt<br />
*Get "GENE" off of Yik Yak. We don't need no CTY middle school<br />
*Gene.........is ok?<br />
*Gene is special<br />
*Gene is ok I guess<br />
*Gene's face looks unfinished<br />
*Gene does the CTY challenge<br />
*The weather is awful because of Gene<br />
*Gene jacks off in the shower<br />
<br />
CTY IS LIKE A SECOND HOME, WE EVEN HAVE A GARDEN GNOME<br />
<br />
===Giant Grass Orgy===<br />
One day after dinner during the second week of the session, one-more [[User:cdonegan778|Ciara Donegan]] mentioned to [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]] that she had yet to be in a grass orgy, as her class was almost entirely made up of squirrels and flying squirrels. With the help of other friends, they then went on to call people over and have a grass orgy. Many people attempted to count how many people were there, and although the exact number is not known, approximately 76 people are thought to have participated in what was certainly the largest grass orgy that session, and possibly one of the largest ones to ever happen since the grass orgy of first dance Stairway 14.1.<br />
<br />
<br />
===The Savage===<br />
<br />
The Savage, created by nomore Tekettay Ludvig at LAN 15.1, is a loosely defined position meant to be the "anti-jester". They hype up rap battles, attack people with the Savage pool noodle (an artifact of the position, christened with SKL), and generally try to get people psyched and do savage things. Though the position may seem petty/insignificant, the role of the Savage is supposed to represent courage, individuality and the willingness to stand up to the system. The position was created/declared by Tekettay at the Last Supper, and later passed to maybe-onemore Alex "Chinchilla" Waclawski at passionfruit. While the validity of this position may be in question due to significant opposition, its creation was approved by several of the current position holders. However, at a later date, Alex Waclawski was removed from this position. Tekettay then passed the position of Savage to Trinity Duffield-Pugsley, who had been declared 'the female savage' at 15.1. Trinity Duffield-Pugsley was then unable to attend 16.1, so she passed it onto her best-friend and equally savage partner in crime, Diane Hwangpo. <br />
<br />
(Note: As noted above, there is no official process for the creation of a new position. It is valid if and only if it remains a "thing").<br />
<br />
Savages:<br />
* 15.1: Tekettay Ludvig<br />
* 16.1: Trinity Duffield-Pugsley/Diane Hwangpo<br />

===BMF War===<br />
<br />
The tension between the Blue Mountain Festival summer camp and CTY came to be known as the BMF War. College students attending Franklin & Marshall in the summer also caught onto this war, however the majority of the battles were in between BMF and CTY. This tension was displayed primarily on Yik Yak. Many Yaks changed the BMF abbreviation in order to make fun of the camp, including "bmf: bacon mettuce fomato" and "BMF= Buffalos Must Fuck". The BMF students and college kids grew frustrated at CTY campers constantly blocking the walkways and ended up putting out all their frustrations onto Yik Yak. Some Yaks nearly became threats, in which someone (most probably an RA) replied "Touch my kids and I'll fuck you up", which was greeted with much enthusiasm. At one point, the war nearly came to life when a CTYer Yakked, inviting any BMF camper to fight in front of the Arches at 7:00 PM. The fight never happened, as at that time, study hall at already begun. This camp war goes down as the first camp rivalry to ever have occurred in the history of LAN.<br />
<br />
===Easy Mac===<br />
<br />
An abnormal amount of fire alarms occurred that session. Although not all alarms were thanks to the burning of Easy Mac, it came to be known at AI and site-wide that Easy Mac was the primary reason for all the alarms. The first alarm was not because of Easy Mac. At Weis, someone pulled the fire alarm for an unknown reason the night before the actual fire alarm drill. (Apparently, it was an accident.) The second alarm after the drill was in Schnader after lights out when Helen Zhang forgot to put water in her Easy Mac and the whole dorm was evacuated. Yelling and screaming from the quad could be heard in other dorms. The third alarm was late in the afternoon on Second Saturday. Schnader, again, was the affected dorm. An unknown person burned popcorn and set off the alarms, sending all CTYers in Schnader outside.<br />
<br />
While outside a number of halls began to sing fire related songs until an SRA told us all to "Please stop, some people can sleep right now and will be very mad at you later if you don't let them" after this parodies of fire related songs started to crop up across the quad at a lower volume. Notably Sanna's hall composed CTY Yankee Doodle as follows:<br />
<br />
''Yankee Doodle went to town''<br /><br />
''Riding on a pony''<br /><br />
''Put no water in the bowl'' <br /><br />
''And burned the macaroni''<br /><br />
''Yankee Doodle effed it up'' (this line was originally sung in anger at 11:27 pm with the actual F-word and was repeated to adults with "messed it up" instead. All three ways are acceptable.)<br /><br />
''Keep the water handy''<br /><br />
''Yankee Doodle effed it up''<br /><br />
''Next time just eat candy'' (sometimes sung as "with a glass of Brandy" to imply that only drunk people could mess up easy mac, but this is CTY-I and also doesn't make as much sense.)<br />
<br />
After the popcorn fire drill, a second verse was composed. Helen Zhang herself walked past this, and asked for the entire thing to be sung again so she could get a recording of it.<br />
<br />
''Yankee Doodle went to town''<br /><br />
''Riding on a pony''<br /><br />
''Burnt the popcorn in the bag''<br /><br />
''Just like the macaroni''<br /><br />
''Yankee Doodle effed it up''<br /><br />
''Keep the water handy''<br /><br />
''Yankee Doodle effed it up''<br /><br />
''Next time just eat candy''<br />
<br />
===Netflix and Chill===<br />
<br />
During one particularly memorable game of Freeze at Acting Improv, Ashley Wells received an opportunity to make a joke that would be remembered for centuries. She entered the compromising position set up by the previous scenario's actors, looked up at her partner, and said, "But I thought you said Netflix and chill!" This joke was greeted by enormous applause and laughter and would be repeated in several different AIs, in the Facebook group, and on Yik Yak. This being one of the most notable quotes of the session, Sam Mauro proceeded to pass on the Quotebook position to Ashley Wells.<br />
<br />
===KIVO American Pie===<br />
The last Monday of 15.2, during lunch, there was (as usual) a large crowd gathered in the KIVO section of the dining hall. The radio station playing in the dining hall usually plays songs that your parents would have thought were very cool, and hip, and mostly go ignored by students. However, that fateful Monday, a song known and beloved by all at CTY came on - American Pie. Slowly at first, but quickly gaining traction, CTYers began to sing, and by the first chorus, at least 50-60 CTYers in KIVO, both in line and sitting at tables, were singing along. During the first chorus, almost everyone sang all of the callbacks (complete with a shout of "no orgies" from the Jester, Isaiah Cole and other responsible nomores), but the more explicit words were replaced by "Shh" and "KIVO" shouted instead of "ORGY" during the subsequent verses. (NO KIVO was shouted in confusion at least once per verse) Not only did a large crowd sing around, the lyrics were acted out, with Hannah Hildebolt as Jack Flash, Isaiah Cole as (obviously) the Jester, Dan Rabinovich as Satan, Lucy Danger as the Sacrificial Rite, Patrick Yee and AR Ciccariello as king and queen respectively, and even a marching band and football team. Any object on hand was used for props, including a rainbow duct tape roll to stand in for Fire, and a baseball hat as the thorny crown. By the end, a circle had formed, and linked together to kick along (with the right foot first, of course) to the final chorus. Everyone who was in attendance generally agreed that it was one of the coolest things that had ever happened to them while waiting in line for a quesadilla, and definitely worth losing your previous place in line over.<br />
<br />
===Anna Sun===<br />
<br />
This song was first played at the last quadtime of 14.2, and it was very emotionally compromising for the nomores. At 15.2, it was played at nearly every single dance. Students would congregate in the center in a "Mr. Brightside" way, but instead of grabbing a staff, they all held hands in the middle. It was very emotional and CTY-y. It is the intention of many to make it both session one and session two canon, as it is unofficially canon for session 2 already and was treated as such.<br />
<br />
===Ball Stuck in the Tree===<br />
<br />
The tree near the center of Hartman Green was notorious this session for getting all sorts of things stuck in it. From Frisbee to sticks to water bottles to foursquare balls, the tree devoured any athletic equipment that was thrown at it. This resulted in large portions of every class break time being spent not playing ball sports, but attempting to retrieve the ball. Eventually, a member of the NEURO class got a green foursquare ball was stuck so well that no matter what was chucked at it, it wouldn't budge. After a few days of relentless struggle, (which attracted quite a crowd at each break) the CTYers below had given up all hope. However, mysteriously, the ball appeared one morning at the base of the tree covered in various duct tape with the message "To Neuro, With Love" from Satan (with Satan crossed out and Santa written underneath). This ball was subsequently deemed the class item of NEURO and was taken home by Via Barr to pass to the following year's class.<br />
<br />
===Pride Parade===<br />
<br />
The session of 15.2 is the first session on record to have a pride parade. The parade, the brainchild of nomore Ele Grant, was a revitalization of the old Love Tape day ideas that centered around LGBT+ awareness. In an effort to bring back the awareness and to host a pride parade for those closeted at home or missing out on other pride parades, the parade was birthed. It was planned by Ele, Rosemary Wonnell, Hannah Hildebolt, and Lucy Danger, who headed an activity called "Pride Parade planning" to make duct tape flags for participants to carry around. The actual parade was held between dinner time and study hall on Love Tape day. It garnered around 50 campers, who marched around the quad holding their flags, blowing bubbles, and shouting four chants: "CTY has a gay butt, CTY we love you, forevermore, forevermore, CTY we love you," "She's beauty, she's grace, she's really really ace," "G is for gender, that's good enough for me, G is for gender, that's good enough for me, G is for gender, that's good enough for me, oh gender gender sexuality!," and lastly, "Things are so gay, but they could be gayer!" Two of chants are variants of afterdance chants, one chant is a pop culture reference, and one is a play on an activity that had happened that week. The parade only lasted ten minutes or so, but was hugely successful. The nomores of 16.2 plan to repeat the parade the next year, and to hopefully keep it going.<br />
<br />

<br />
===SKL Easy Mac===<br />
<br />
During the third week of camp, [[User: Brick|Oliver "Brick" Reinhardt]] was quoted saying, "has anyone ever made SKL with easy mac?" Naturally, he decided to test the inverse of this inquiry (that is, easy mac with SKL), and with the help of Drew Genuit he brought to life his vision during lunch on third Tuesday. The easy mac was left on a table in KIVO and all were invited to try. Upon taking a bite, the easy mac was discovered to be a mix of cheesy and sugary, and it was generally accepted to be frankly quite disgusting.<br />
<br />
===Scalene Triangles===<br />
<br />
As CTY sessions go, there is always at least one meme that defines a large amount of jokes made in those three weeks. For this session, it was the scalene triangle who took prevalence over all other contenders. The staff would look away in shame as campers would continually make sex noises that seemed to come from the actions of a certain trigonometric element, though it became harder to ignore as their voices steadily got louder and more erotic (driving many an asexual camper away from the alcove for a time). The scalene triangle was recited all over campus throughout the three weeks and never lost its glory and luster, despite the increasingly disturbed groans that came from many who had heard it a time too many.<br />
<br />
===Camping on the Quad===<br />
On the morning of the second Sunday, campers who went to breakfast were greeted by an unfamiliar sight- a bright green tent set up on the quad. Those who bothered to look inside found that there were six people inside the tent, wearing pajamas, surrounded by sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets, and eating food pirated from the dining hall. [[User:Ariel|Ariel Uy]], [[User:Shprinkles|Victoria Provost]], [[User:Buzzsaw|Sophia Hager]], [[User:KMD094|Kristin Donegan]], Ciara Donegan, and Lily Dondoshansky would only explain that the tent belonged to the Collective. A very tired-looking Deb the RA (who may or may not have made a deal with admins to not have check-out duty for the rest of session) was supervising the tent (and may have left for a few minutes to catch pokemon). It is unclear as to how long the nomores spent in the tent.<br />
<br />
===Pokemon Go===<br />
The release for Pokemon go happened to be during first session. Thereafter, for the rest of session, campers (and sometimes RAs) would often be seen wandering around campus attempting to locate elusive pokemon. These players often formed marauding bands working together for a common goal, since once the location of a pokemon was found, others would flock to the spot in the hopes of also obtaining it. This single-minded determination became the subject of a few AI jokes, and also created by necessity a hall announcement that ran somewhere along the lines of "Pokemon Go is fun! Please don't leave the areas you're supposed to be in to get new pokemon though." A Pokemon Go activity was formed, and numerous halls' bonding activities consisted of looking for new pokemon. The madness went so far that some campers actually started playing Pokemon Go when the Pokemon Theme played at the last dance.<br />
<br />
===Pride Parade .1===<br />
Inspired by the work by Ele Grant and Rosemary Wonnell, CTYers Will and Annie decided to bring a pride parade to session 1. A rained-out planning activity caused an impromptu poster making session to be held in Schnader lounge on second Saturday and another one outside Thomas on Sunday. A lacrosse stick (that had only been in use for two hours ever) was decorated by Annie with rainbow duct tape on the stick and an assortment on duct tape at the top, and given to Will to lead the parade with. The parade was a success with chants being borrowed from the 15.2 parade including a new one "If you're gay and you know it [clap your hands, stomp your feet, shout out loud]". At the end of the parade the staff (dubbed the Gay Lord Staff) was passed down to onemore Grace Finlayson to continue the tradition next year. At the end of 17.1 it was given to Maya Spencer to carry on the Pride Parade during 18.1. <br />
<br />

* Pre 16.1: [[User:annievail9|Annie Gleiberman]]<br />
* 16.1: [[User:melondad|Will McClelland]]<br />
* 17.1: Grace Finlayson<br />
* 18.1: [[User:Mspencer|Maya Spencer]]<br />
* 19.1: [[user:Lauraseth|Laura Seth]] (after [[user:Caroline Huber|Caroline Huber]] was unable to return)<br />
<br />
===Hamilton Sing Along===<br />
After the Hamilton craze, RAs ? and ? created a Hamilton activity. There was a lot of excitement around this activity. As RAs prepared the playlist for sing along, a long line of fans were left on the quad, some toting Hamilton books or wearing t-shirts. Jordyn and Maggie started singing and soon the whole line was joined in a rousing rendition of the opening song, Alexander Hamilton. Everyone kept singing after the first song. We were half way through “My Shot” when the activity started. (There is footage of this on the Iris Documentator account).<br />
<br />
=2016.2=<br />
<br />
===The Bee Movie===<br />
After a game of Half-Life in AI required the actors to act out the plot of the bee movie went terribly wrong (none of the actors had seen the movie), a slight obsession of The Bee Movie was spawned. A later game of Half-Life ("escaping from quarantine") devolved into a student twerking while reading bee movie fanfiction, to the delight of all onlookers.<br />
<br />
===Spicy Big Dads===<br />
Nomores Rosemary Wonnell and Caroline Shea bought matching shirts for twin day that had the words "SPICY BIG DAD" written on them. These shirts brought them much attention and quickly became a meme.<br />
<br />
===Linguistics vs. Logic-b===<br />
A feud rooted in sidewalk illustrations. The classes would often shout out "LOGIC B!" and "LINGUISTICS!" during the afterdance, and would feign dislike for each other. <br />
<br />
===Watch Asher Flail===<br />
One activity involved watching RA Asher play Just Dance 4. It was incredible.<br />
<br />
===Formation===<br />
An activity to learn Beyonce's choreography to Formation turned into so much more when it was performed at the second Saturday dance. Lots of cheering and screaming "EMMA JOHNSTON I LOVE YOU!!!" ensued. <br />
<br />
===The Satan Are You Crying Club===<br />
<br />
This session, a group of campers from various courses (there were always students from Paleobiology and Astrophysics) gathered in the KIVO Alcove to read aloud horrible fanfiction, including "She wants the B," "Donkey, please," and, most prominently, "My Immortal." They would sit at what was known as the Gayble (gay + table), a long rectangular table, and pass around one camper's phone to read aloud a horrible fanfiction, which was almost always "My Immortal." They called themselves the Satan Are You Crying Club in reference to "My Immortal."<br />
<br />
===The Last Dance===<br />
During the last dance, RA Viv played Sweatshirt by Jacob Sartorius, which quickly evolved into a rick roll. However, that rick roll turned into the John Cena theme song to the delight and surprise of the campers. The last dance also featured another performance of Formation, and of course, Anna Sun. <br />
<br />
===Canon Additions===<br />
16.2 had a camp-wide canon vote to introduce new songs and consolidate old songs into canon. Anna Sun by Walk the Moon was voted into canon, as was Iris and Always.<br />
<br />
===Communism===<br />

<br />
===Admin===<br />
With the arrival of a new site director from JHU, Lancaster 17.1 faced the challenge of dealing with incompetent admin. Nomores found themselves submitting lists of activities after the RAs lost the old one (Bad Acting Appreciation was entirely omitted from the session, much to everyone's disappointment), writing two four-page drafts of the rules of blammo after it was banned from Lancaster, and fixing canon when the wrong versions of songs were played (i.e. Oh L'Amour). The admin situation put something of a damper on the session for a lot of nomores, but they refused to go down without a fight, and in the end, everything turned out okay.<br />
<br />
===First Weekend===<br />
CTYers were told by RAs that Lancaster weekends were too unscheduled. The administration made some activities on the weekend mandatory. There was a competition with different races (like potato sack races). Boy and girl halls combined to make teams. Some halls were very spirited and coordinated colored outfits with war paint.. A few halls started chanting “Rain! Rain!” There was clapping and a few rain dances were attempted but unfortunately for these students, it did not rain.<br />
<br />
===2 Gods, No Masters===<br />
Admin tried to ban blammo because they always like to forget that LAN is not JHU. We didn't let them. Two meetings with admin and two four-page drafts of rules written by .1 gods [[User: sienzala | Sienna Axe]] and [[User:Aidan|Aidan Parker]] (with help from the .2 god, Michael Zhang) later, blammo began on second Thursday instead of the usual first Wednesday.<br />
<br />
===Let It Snow===<br />
The Advanced Fiction class at LAN 17.1 happened to host jester [[User: caseyw8| Casey Waite]]. Much to the delight of literally everyone at camp, he showed his classmates a link to a hella zesty version of Let It Snow that he helped produce. The song became a well-known and beloved anthem, and with the help of onemores Nathan Burke and Josh Hejna, Father [[User:melondad|Will McClelland]] created a sick mix that lead from Let It Snow into Darude's Sandstorm, which was then used for the rave circle at the Second Saturday dance. This remix was played again at the First Saturday dance at 18.1. The original song can be found here: https://m.soundcloud.com/couples-counseling/let-it-snow.<br />
<br />
===3 Kazoo's===<br />
<br />
Camper [[User: Iguessillhavenomore|Elizabeth Hawk]] became a legend one day during lunch. she was asked how many kazoo's she could fit in her mouth and she responded"I have three lets fine out" and proceeded to put all 3 in her mouth and then play them. while they were in her mouth she screamed "this is my greatest life achievement" and "I am a god amongst you peasants".<br />
<br />
===Beezed Out===<br />
<br />
Getting "beezed out" was a popular experience among students that constitutes putting burt's bees chapstick on your eyelids. This was introduced by the Jester Casey Waite. Some were hesitant at first, but eventually most agreed to try it. Beezing out produces a tingling sensation on your eyelids, some would describe it as feeling like your eyelids fell off. May also lead to hallucinations. It lead to frequent AI jokes, a lot of pain amongst students with weaker eyelids, and also to RA Asher stating "there is no more use for coffee, I'll just put some of this stuff on and I'll be awake". It was wild, would recommend 100% if you enjoy masochism and bees.<br />
<br />
===Old Spice?===<br />
<br />
Jack Flash Emily Haase brought Old Spice to camp and proceeded to walk around and whip it out of her pocket asking "old spice?". Old Spice was then brutally murdered by jester Casey Waite* during an acting improv where Emily was being slightly loud, which lead to louder indignation and the accumulation of another Old Spice by the end of the week.<br />
<br />
*I put it out of its misery- Casey<br />
<br />
===The Summoning of Nathan Burke===<br />
<br />
One day during session, Son [[User:Mia024|Mia Hotsuki]] was wondering where [[User:Natan|Nathan Burke]], who made frequent sexual jokes, was. [[User:OwenG|Owen Gao]] claimed that if one said something that could be taken into a sexual context, then Nathan would show up to do so. Onemore [[User:H double J|Hudson Jakubowicz]] said that if someone said "That's what she said", then Nathan would show up. Alexander Huang responded with a statement to which the people replied "That's what she said", and then, Nathan walked into view of the alcove, thus summoning him.<br />
<br />
To simplify: some one made a sexual joke and Nathan showed up therefore summoning him. <br />
<br />
(also note) Nathan and [[User:Iguessillhavenomore|I]] were making death by death quietly at the frozen yogurt machine and when we walked into the alcove everybody started screaming and it was the most confusing and terrifying moment of my life.<br />
<br />
===The Despacito Kid from Mexico===<br />
<br />
On the very first day of LAN 17.1 a wee young lad by the name Ricardo Marrero, or Ricky, became known as the Despacito kid. He walked up to random campers and introduced himself by singing a flawless recreation of the popular Spanish song, Despacito. His fame grew quickly and by the end of week one he was known by everyone aroud campus. His beautiful singing brought many campers to tears as he hit every note with the voice of an angel. Those lucky enough to hear him have said, "I will never hear anything as beautiful again," and, "Aaaayyyyy Caraaaayyyy!" He is also known for his amazing Michael Jackson like dance moves. Long Live Despacito Kid!!!<br />
<br />
===Schlllllorp===<br />
<br />
Enough said.<br />
<br />
===Room 327===<br />
<br />
Those who were on the third floor of South Ben know the legend of room 327 in RA Luke's hall. Legend has it that an odor so powerful that it could be smelled two floors away inhabited that room like a crude beast. The odor, caused by a pair of sandals, became even worse after a camper attempted to defeat the monster with 20 dollars worth of febreeze. Being the extremly kind RA that he is, Luke took pity on the campers and allowed them to move out of room 327. Whatever you do, stay away from room 327.<br />
<br />
===P Bio vs. Physics===<br />
<br />
A particularly loud instructor, lovingly called Rich by his students, always called for his students to congregate at his meeting spot by shouting the infamous call, P BIOooOooOooOoo, only to hear a group of 'terrible' physics students mock him by repeating those hideously provocative words. This back and forth would continue several times. It was said before that the PBIO students retaliated with glitter, however that is false as the glitter (distributed by Anna Johnson, a PBIO student) was strewn about campus for little to no reason other than glitter itself.<br />
<br />
Note: Anna got glitter banned and therefore eliminated a position at second session you heathen!!!!<br />
<br />
===Logan the Cockroach===<br />
<br />
On the 3rd floor of North Ben, two roommates were surprised to induct a third honorary roommate: a cockroach dubbed the name of Logan. Logan was found on the wall one morning and the girls put a clear plastic cup around him and taped it to the wall in rainbow love tape. Surprisingly the cockroach lived for three days stuck to the wall before the girls set him free during quad time in a drain. However Logan's story will live on as pieces of the tape and his souls remain embedded in the wall of Room 310 of North Ben.<br />
<br />
===Waluigi and Macklemore===<br />
<br />
CTY, especially Lancaster, is a place where many already beautiful things are memed into even holier existences of higher greatness, and 17.1 was no different. "Waluigi" (Hallelujah but every time "hallelujah" came up, "Waluigi" was sung instead; an example is "and every breath we drew was WALUIIIGIIIIII") was particularly popular this session, as was "Macklemore" (Oh L'Amour but "Oh L'Amour" replaced by "Macklemore" and "What's a boy in love supposed to do" replaced by "What's a gay in love supposed to do"). During breakfast on last Thursday ("Friday"), when Son [[User:mia024|Mia Hotsuki]] began a rendition of "Waluigi", many campers near her joined in, and the [[Alcove]] was soon filled with sobs and cries of "WAAAALLLLLUUUUIIIIIIIGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIII".<br />
<br />
===Ma'am Your Whole Thrussy Out===<br />
<br />
During the first week of 17.1 at Lancaster, Jennifer June came across a text post from tumblr. The text post goes: Walmart employee: Ma'am, your whole pus*y out. / Me: I know. This meme was then referenced many a time to the 17.1 Logic and Principles of Reasoning class. During the same day, another student in the class, Emily Haase, discovered the '(insert body part) p*ssy?' and then inserting the first letter of the body part to the front of the word p*ssy. This joke originally comes from another tumblr text post about a throat p*ssy, also known as a 'thrussy'. From here, the joke spread around the campus both as 'Ma'am your whole p*ssy out'as well as 'Ma'am your whole thrussy out'. These phrases were not only used as a greeting, but also as a fun comment to make to friends. It was also transformed to 'Ma'am your whole titty out', and was sometimes used when friends wanted to warn each other of what they were wearing or comment on clothing in a more casual comedic way. This joke is especially well remembered in a story about Misah Edwards, who supposedly was overheard saying 'Oh f*ck, my whole titty out'. An RA, upon hearing this asked her to repeat herself. She replied 'My whole titty out?' and the RA said 'No, before that'. Many students at Lancaster 17.1 bonded over this phrase, and it will not soon be forgotten.<br />
<br />
===Family Tree===<br />
<br />
Nullip (Anna and Phil) (or anil?) was widely shipped by the class INBS A. [[User:Genji_deflect|Allen]] came up with the idea of a family tree, resulting in a family encircling Nullip - Allen and Priyanka were the children, Christopher (Spaghetti) was Phil's brother, thus their uncle, with a child called Austin (Salty Churros); Their aunt was Emily, and their other cousin was [[User:Skapasitator|Sara]]. Grandfathers included Edward (KJU Jr) and Andrew, while grandmothers were unknown. Christopher was nicknamed "The Drunk Uncle," due to his constant erotic behavior. Arya was put in the position of family doctor.<br />
<br />
Members of INBS A did not only create a family tree circled around Nullip, but shipped their TA with some of the students' RA. Marcos and Yvonne were shipped as Marvonne. There was even a marriage certificate made for them, which Yvonne threw away, but still was meaningful nonetheless. The class's Snapchat Group Chat continues to be named Marvonne to this day.<br />
<br />
(Editor's note: Part of INBS A shared their hall with the girls in the mostly-nomore class PHYW B, who jokingly shipped Yvonne with the PHYW B guys' RA, Jimmy. Yvonne, I'm sorry many hall meetings ended in an all-out ship-war between Marvonne and Jivonne. We had a blast with you though, and I hope you did too!)<br />
<br />
===The Great Glitter Ban===<br />
A sparkly catastrophe that swept the Lancaster campus into chaos and later resulted in the ban of our beloved glitter started with a girl named Anna Johnson. This girl's strange logic led her to bring a large bag full of tubes of microscopic glitter onto campus. Upon arrival to her dorm room, she taped the bag to her wall and labeled it "Emergency Glitter". Around the very middle of the session, for reasons unknown, she decided to unleash the glitter in its full force. It could have been simply because 'it was time', or perhaps there was truly some unsaid emergency, but its coming was inevitable. Patient Zero was a girl named Lauren Schwartz. In being the first to don a shimmering layer of microscopic glitter, her influence was the driving force behind the glitter's fast spread. Anna and Lauren spent the entirety of quad time for the next few days spreading the glitter to their fellow campers, until a great fraction of the campus sparkled. The term 'getting glittered' became a thing, and soon the RA's were rushing to stop the distribution of the glitter tubes. It was common to get glittered on the head, hair, and one boy laid in the grass and let himself be covered head to toe. While the proclaimed Glitter Goddesses were admired for their fabulousness, they also... "slightly" annoyed staff. Soon glittering was banned, however at some of the dances glitter dealers adamantly kept glittering. The dorm carpets shone! The next year, glitter appeared at the bottom of the list of things banned at CTY. RIP glitter.<br />

=== Toast and Cas ===<br />
<br />
Session 2 at Lancaster in 2017 was attended by both a student named Cas and a student named Toast. The two shared a resemblance, and within the first day were mistaken for one other several times. However, the majority of cases involved a stranger approaching Cas and addressing him as "TOAST!" Within a week, however, incidents began to accumulate in which Toast was misidentified as Cas. To make things even more confusing, the two could often be seen walking around campus together.<br />
<br />
Session 2 at Lancaster 2017 was also attended by two students who went by the names of Jorian and Leyla. They were self admitted doppelgängers and many couldn't tell them apart, the most notable being their Paleobiology Instructor, Rich. They played tricks such as switching shirts with their names on them and changing name tags. This succeeded in confusing Rich more.<br />
<br />
=== Trash Can Fridge ===<br />
<br />
One hall in Weis decided that they needed to keep their SKL cool. This led to them turning a trash can into a fridge. They would steal ice and salt from the dining hall to keep their fridge cold. Unfortunately, in week two, KIVO Man told them they were taking too much ice and had to stop.<br />
<br />
=== Long Live The Afterdance ===<br />
<br />
It was a rainy day during the third dance in the ASFC and the Afterdance was cancelled. The students tried to push it back into the ASFC(they even stayed in the ASFC in denial until they were kicked out) but were promptly denied and scolded to go back. They all complied reluctantly and were pretty upset about the cancellation of this tradition. During the walk back to the quad, [[User: Nails907|Jake]], Rene, Kate, Emily, and Siona all began the afterdance songs outraged that it had been cancelled. They started to chant "Circle" and got most of the students to join in. They then continued to chant more of the Afterdance during the walk. The chants were out of order and were messed up a couple of times but the students were all enjoying it. After the second chant or so some RAs started to get in on it too. After the CTY chant, the RAs concluded the "Afterdance" by saying "go home nobody loves you". Then they all dispersed into their respective dorms while shouting "Long Live the Afterdance".<br />
<br />
=== KIVO Crashers ===<br />
<br />
The KIVO Crashers are a large group of friends who all aged out together and is one of the biggest group of forevermores in LAN history. They would sit in the back of Kivo and bring 3-5 tables together in order to seat everybody. This group includes; Adela Zhou, Andrea Lim, Andrew Goldberg, Claire Jiang, Daniel Xiao, Eric Shi, Erika Berlik, Jack Silvers, Jackie Lee, [[User: Nails907|Jake Landsman]], Jeffrey Jehng, Kate Eames, Kurt Tio, Lauren Raziano, Angela Qian, Lucas Lin, May Zheng, Mia Chu, Michael Zhang, Nick Kim, Shana Chen, Shreya Joshi, Steven Liu, Thomas Lee, Vincent Ho, and Will Chu. These people bonded solely over CTY and it shows how this program can turn three weeks into a lifetime of friendship.<br />
<br />
=== Fanhammmer Legacy ===<br />
<br />
The Fanhammer (look at 12.2) was a position that was handed down at random times during the end of session and did not really mean much at all. When Annie Vail handed it down to Jake Landsman he decided to take this matter into his own hands. Jake would carry the duct tape thor hammer around campus bopping students in the head enough times that it was recognized as an actual tradition. Throughout session more and more people wanted to be thoroughly whacked in the head with this cardboard. He was the first hammer holder to pass it down during passionfruit and thus the tradition has gained much more popularity and became much more than it usually was. For the sake of remembrance, the holders will be restated here in 17.2.<br />

=== Tide Pods ===<br />
<br />
One night in South Ben, the residents were called outside for a building meeting. Everyone was confused about why they were all brought outside and all assumed it had something to do with the Honor Code. However they were then greeted by an SRA who informed them all about vandalism in the dorms. He then threatened them with the installation of cameras in the hallways which they all knew was a lie. The SRA did not specifically say what the vandalism exactly was but they all immediately knew that it had to be one thing, throwing tide pods. Tide pods were used frequently in the dorms as a prank war weapon because it would leave a residue behind and an unpleasant odor. <br />
<br />
As of that day, tide pods became a huge joke in campus. Students would ask around if they threw the tide pods and will respond yes or no regardless if they did or did not. Then, at final AI, the joke was made countless times. Especially in Freeze, where numerous students came up to "DRL Joe" (A student role playing as him) and admitted to throwing the tide pods. However, at passionfruit, at the end of his speech, Noah finally admitted to throwing the pods and everyone cheered him on as he sat back down in contenet.<br />
<br />
=== F*** Admin ===<br />
<br />
In Lancaster 17.2, Administration was not acting as they should have been for this session. They were either too strict in banning and changing traditions or too lenient on things that actually mattered to the students (Like the limits of consent and creating a comfortable safe space). So during passionfruit a common theme was to say "F*** Admin" at the end of the speeches because at that point the students could not be punished for anything they do or say and all nomore/nevermores felt that all staff and students should be aware that admin had made mistakes and needed to change.<br />
<br />
===KSD===<br />
<br />
Every year CTY holds an ultimate frisbee tournament with any campers who want to play. KSD is the legacy team at Lancaster site, the name standing for 'Knock Shit Down' and Milk Money was their rival team over the years. At Lancaster 16.2 Jack Horan passed the position of KSD captain to Luke Teasley however in the event of Luke not returning to CTY Kate Eames became the KSD captain for 17.2. Kate lead her team into the tournament with the KSD speech (Aragorns speech at the black gate). The tournament ended with three teams who had to fight for the win- Milk Money, KSD, and Shell Daddy. [Milk Money beat KSD] then [Shell Daddy beat Milk Money] then [KSD crushed Shell Daddy] After all of this Will Chu (captain of Milk Money) and Kate Eames agreed to call it a tie. The two teams banded together to create, SKL (a team to face the RAs). To cristen the joining of the teams, Kate Eames chugged an entire bottle of SKL.<br />
<br />
=== Joe's man bun ===<br />
In Lancaster 17.2 the DRL Joe would walk around campus rocking his man bun and obviously flaunting it around. The students there then started to joke about what actually was contained inside his luscious hair. These objects included but were not limited to...<br />
<br />
* cocaine<br />
* stainless steel fidget spinner<br />
* rubber duck<br />
<br />
=== Give Me Your Goddamned Money ===<br />
This phrase was uttered many a time by passionfruit Empress Elizabeth Hawk because no one would give her their goddamned passionfruit money. Some of you still owe her that shit. This became a joke during nomore AI because Elizabeth Hawk and Jester Ky were the main participants (on the occasion that no one would participate) so they did as they pleased. <br />
<br />
This was not the only passionfruit joke those include: <br />
Jeffry with: I know you already bought the drinks but can I sign up for passionfruit? answer: NO JEFFREY YOU CAN'T.<br />
And many a younger ctyer with: can (insert number larger than one here) mores sign up? answer: NO YOU CAN'T.<br />
<br />
===Chorgy===<br />
<br />
After the screening of Star Crash, a chorgy (chair orgy)(Note: "Chairgy", which, as an amalgamation of the words chair and orgy, is reminiscent of the "airgy" which also took place between select members of this group, is also acceptable) took place in the very back row of Adams. It very nearly caused some worrisome injuries from the piling of people on top of each other. Members of this legendary chorgy include Colin Ly, Jason Chang, Jeffrey Jehng, Andrew Brose, Kathie Liang, Lucas Lin, Jeffrey Cui, Madeline Lee, Simar Arora, and briefly Simran Sharma and Annabelle Hinks. <br />
Notable events that occurred during this chorgy include:<br />
*the almost-blowjob between Kat and Jeff C.<br />
*the usage of Kat's head as a drum<br />
*the usage of Kat's head as the muse and/or fiend staffs while screaming the lyrics to Mr. Brightside<br />
*the near explosion of Colin's nether regions (Let's try to keep it PG rated here)<br />
*the violation of Kat's poor blanket<br />
*the taking of many, many memorable pictures<br />
*the wearing of Kat's glasses by Jeffrey Jehng and Lucas Lin<br />
*Jeff J.'s poor arms<br />
<br />
=== The Cronch ===<br />
<br />
During the first farmers market trip, a student named Archer purchased an entire head of raw cabbage from a stand. On the way back and throughout the day, the cabbage was named the Cronch and many people took bites out of the raw head of cabbage. This caused 3 students to get sick, 2 (one indirectly) with what might have been mono and one from just eating too much raw cabbage. However, the rest of the Cronch-eaters seemed to be fine. The Cronch was kept in Archer's backpack and room until it was deemed to disgusting to keep anymore. An attempt to play foursquare with the Cronch was made, but was shut down by the RAs. After the attempted foursquare, the Cronch was left on the quad and disappeared a few days later. Additionally, this alleged spread of mono was made into a joke ("Want mono?") and appeared multiple times in Acting Improv.<br />
<br />
===The Story===<br />
<br />
One day, the Fiction and Poetry class was assigned to write a story. For his assignment ctyer Eric Shi decides to write a story about a man having "relations" with a girl he had been staring at in a non consensual manner. After the class was done writing their stories they passed their respective works around for peer editing. When the rest of the class read his story, they attempted with great effort to explain to Mr.Shi the importance of consent. Mr.Shi in turn replied "consent ruins the mood". After class, and after a fair bit of arguing, Eric proceeded to post "When you try to debate with a fucking liberal (referencing student Roland Blake) but they have no chill" on his snapchat story.<br />

===The Most Patriotic Fire===<br />
<br />
On one fateful 4th of July, a thunderstorm struck the otherwise quiet city of Lancaster. It was a generally dreary night with pouring rain. Quad time was cancelled (but evening session was not). At 9:17, the residents of Thomas Hall received a rather unpleasant surprise. The fire alarm rang; everyone ran outside, thinking it was a drill, and the RAs were confused. The Site Director came and told us to “calm down,” but that didn't stop anyone who was panicking. Afterwards, we found out that someone had put a metal spoon/fork in a microwave, triggering the shrill sounds of the alarm. Naturally, everyone was unhappy about the situation. To add to the frustration, many students had to rush out of the shower. All students were forced to group up with their respective RA. People inside of North Ben and South Ben were waving phone flashlights at the people on the Quad, and there was some flashlight waving in return. Eventually, many students became frustrated at the lack of patriotism shown on the Fourth of July. THIS WAS AMERICA'S GODDAMN BIRTHDAY AND WE WEREN'T GONNA SIT AROUND AND LET AMERICA NOT HAVE A PARTY. First, they sang the Star Spangled-Banner with their hands on their hearts. The boys of Thomas then decided to circle up in the most dominating of positions, the T-Pose, followed by a rendition of Country Roads. The Country Roads T-Pose circle was started by George and Oliver from Theron's Hall, and Theron even entered the center of the circle to conduct the song (Country Roads and the Soviet Union anthem started in Yeon's hall in South Ben, just to give credit to us). On this day, these boys became MEN, as they had fulfilled their most noble duty: serving their country. It was a patriotic moment. As people were re-entering the hall, people sang the Star Spangled Banner again. Lights out stayed at 10:30 for some reason.<br />
<br />
===SKL Pong===<br />
<br />
On the second Sunday, Jester [[User:Natan|Nathan Burke]] brought ping pong balls, SKL, and red plastic cups into the alcove. It was set up to be like beer pong except with SKL. The rules were the same as beer pong with the exceptions of playing in pairs and drinking SKL instead of beer. Three rounds were played, two of which were comeback wins (y’all know who you are and how legendary those comebacks were) until one of the RA’s shut it down.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Room 225A===<br />
<br />
In Thomas, room 225A was drenched in a moldy wet smell, which was caused by a student putting wet shoes and clothing over an AC, as it had rained on the first day of CTY, a heavy rain. The stench was known across the whole hall and no one could walk past the suite without getting the attention. This room was put to shame and most people stayed away.<br />
<br />
=== Banana Bunch ===<br />
After hearing of the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist from their ASTR.A hallmates, three girls from RA Clayla's hall decided to start stealing bananas. After multiple heists, their greed for bananas grew larger and amounted to around 20 bananas in a day. This eventually culminated in the Great American Banana Heist of 2018, where the Banana Bunch stole a whopping 16 bananas from the barrel during one lunch. They would later distribute their stolen bananas among friends and hungry CTYers. Another incident occured when the Bunch, who idolized RA Yeon Cho, stole enough bananas to spell out “YEON” on one of the dining tables, successfully summoning him to the table. Ultimately, they failed to steal the barrel of bananas from F&M dining; however, it was not put out on the last day.<br />
<br />
=== RA Yeon Cho ===<br />
During the end of the first week, RA Yeon Cho became increasingly popular among his hall and the creative nonfiction class. During the Avatar: the Last Airbender marathon, the first half of the activity period was spent on making the computer work. There was a trivia game to make up for the time lost. Somehow "Yeon Cho " became the answer to everything, including Katara's first crush.<br />
<br />
=== SKL Poi ===<br />
[[Jester]] Nathan Burke and nomore Dylan Lee sat next to each other for the first week of class in THEO-B. During that first week of session, after seeing Nathan repeatedly fail to make holes in the tops of SKL bottles for the purpose of swinging them around like a lunatic, legendary camper Dylan Lee decided to take two empty SKL half-gallon cartons and put some rice (courtesy of the dining staff) and small lights that could be turned on and off from outside the cartons into each carton. He then attached shoelaces to each carton and had well-balanced and weighted makeshift poi! He was the star of every rave circle after making those poi, especially the last one.<br />
<br />
===Marcos===<br />
During the course of INBS C, a meme was created out of the TA (named Marcos.) The students wrote his name and various snippets of utterly hilarious conversations onto the CTY memories board, as well as making several stickers in the groupchat, called Marcosstickers. They also wrote no less than '''twenty-three''' Marcos onto the Why I Love CTY board on the second Saturday.<br />
<br />
===Starcrash Fiasco===<br />
Feeling that too many people had been rejected from the beloved activity [[Starcrash]], which had always been held in Adams, Admin decided to make Starcrash uncapped. However, the traditional location, Adams, could only accommodate around 200 people, so Starcrash was relocated to the ASFC. This meant CTYers were forced to sit on the ground of the field house. In addition, the ASFC’s no food or drink policy stifled the traditional Starcrash drinking game. Instead, students were forced to smuggle in goods such as snacks and SKL. Despite the best efforts of the students, famed RA Yeon Cho confiscated nearly two dozen bottles of SKL(he drank them too), which were not allowed to be reclaimed at the end of the activity. (Though one valiant CTYer managed to snag two half-gallon bottles right in front of all the ras. It was pretty sneaky)<br />
<br />

<br />
===Second Wednesday Caution-Tape===<br />
On Second Wednesday, the students of COGN.A (Specifically [[User:Benji.is.dead|Benji]] and [[User:Supersteg|Steg]]) Thought it'd be fun to just give people caution tape, so they did. When all was said and done, an entire role of caution tape (30 yards) had been used. Some notable uses for the tape included the tying of caution tape around one’s head, or wearing it like a belt. [[User:Felix.Stan|Felix]] found a large stick on the quad and tied two long strands of caution tape to it. He then wrapped the stick with fairy lights and named it the “safety stick” or alternatively “the stick of big stick energy.” One thing is for sure; there is nothing more CTY, than 100 students walking around on the Quad wearing caution tape. The class of COGN.A had an enjoyable evening class quite content with themselves after this.<br />
<br />
===WE OUR===<br />
During the [[Pride parade]] the chant "WE OUR" was chanted because someone forgot to finish their "we heart our gay son" poster. Needless to say it was pretty funny as the people who were not participating were very confused.<br />
<br />
===Fire Alarms in North Ben===<br />
In the North Ben dorms, the fire alarms went off about 3 or 4 times due to several students not knowing how to make microwave mac and cheese properly. The incidents happened at around 11:00-12:00 at night, much to the annoyance of many sleeping students. The alarms even went off on the last night, prompting anger towards the unknown camper who, willingly or not, set off the alarm.<br />
<br />
===Starcrash and Slideshow in Mayser===<br />
This year [[Starcrash]] and the Slideshow took place in the sweaty, over heated, overcrowded gym that is called Mayser. The excuse was that is was going to rain but that doesn't excuse why we couldn't go into Adams to watch Starcrash. Admin @ it again ruining traditions <br />
<br />
===#StairwayToHelix===<br />
Squirrel [[User:Schu22|Sabine Chu]], wanting to “make [her] mark on CTY” attempted to organize a movement to change the shape of the dance in [[Stairway to Heaven]] from the traditional circle to a helix. She walked around dances, KIVO, and other places, asking people a variant of “Hello. Would you be interested in changing the shape of the dance in Stairway to Heaven?” Her petition got around 80 signatures, and Sabine even gave it to the Pentennial, who made a poster advertising the movement. Unfortunately, despite Sabine’s best efforts, only about 6 people participated in the helix dance.<br />
<br />
===Boris Strots===<br />
Although not many know his name (arguable), everyone at LAN 18.2 has seen Boris Strots' amazing dance moves and innovative raving style (the fidget spinner). He is renowned throughout LAN 18.2 not for his 3rd place Blammo finish, but for his impressive performances and brave self-embarrassment during the dances. Allegedly, Boris can also read minds. To demonstrate this, he would hold his hand up for a high five, and as a victim went in for a high five, he would be able to predict the trajectory of the incoming high five, and cleverly dodge it, instead dabbing on the victim. Unfortunately, he did not pass the talent show audition, or else the camp would have seen a brilliant rendition of "MC Gang". Boris' hall petitioned for him to be a backup dancer for their RA's talent show performances, but it ultimately never happened as it was determined that he would have stolen the show.<br />
<br />
During the last dance, Boris transcended into fashion enlightenment after donning 3 shorts simultaneously, swim goggles, and boasting a hellish hairstyle. See: [https://ibb.co/b1D9iz here.] He was seen before the dance with a towel wrapped around his head, presumably preparing for hair. It was during the same dance that he entered the rave circle, repeating the same move for the duration of the rave. During afternoon class before the dance, he attempted to stick his hair back with duct tape, but his Russian hair was far too resilient and he had to resort to hairdrying, water, and wax.<br />
<br />
Boris is also a nice person. During the last dance, if he saw circles of two (couples), he would join them in an attempt to make them feel less lonely. It is controversial whether this was effective, though.<br />
<br />
===Shirtless Running Man===<br />
During one of the quad times, a shirtless running man on his tiptoes confronted a group of students. Many RAs intervened, yet he was still seen running around for a few more minutes. He said, "This is a public place and I am allowed to be here and talk to the kids."<br />
<br />
Goodbye, Mr. Shirtless Running Man. I hope your life is going well.<br />
<br />
===Aidan Chan===<br />
The nomore (nevermore by Lancasterian tradition) that had the ability to pass sadness and tears onto anybody.<br />
<br />
===Cult of the L===<br />
Somehow in INBS C, all the boys in the class participated in a cult hailing Marcos. Writing L's on the chalkboard and giving people the L as agreeting and a CTY-A was commonplace. Marcos threatened to sanction at least two of the students, so one of the two learned Marcos's accent and ended up getting sanctioned. "Bryce, Sanctioned" That student took the biggest L. people would fold and cut paper and duct tape Ls to Will. Marcos has ascended into a living meme. At least five people hailed Marcos in a picture. (Instructions below) <br />
<br />
How to hail glorious leader Marcos:<br />
<br />
Make L with right hand<br />
Seig Heil hail but with the L.<br />
Done.<br />
<br />
"TAKE THE L"<br />
"Bryce/Will took the biggest L'<br />
"HAIL MARCOS'<br />
<br />
===Ian Day's Mousetrap===<br />
<br />
A first year CTYer, Ian Day, screwed around with a mousetrap he found in Mayser Gym for 5 days straight. His RA confiscated the mousetrap after catching Ian throwing it across the hall. Ian had the mousetrap snap on his finger while he was arming it at least 42 times. How he didn't end up injured is not known.<br />
<br />
===The Jump-Rope Orbital===<br />
Upon fooling around with 18.2 ravers, soon-to-be 19.2 Rave Queen Ceci Skinner-Grant came up with the idea of performing an orbital, then jumping over it like a jump rope and bringing it back over your head as it continued to spin. This seemingly complex move was attempted to be instantiated a number of times, and soon even became a goal to achieve for a number of similarly-minded ravers.<br />
<br />
= 2019.1=<br />
<br />
===Spoons===<br />
<br />
On June 24th, 2019, in North Ben, RA Theron led the largest game of Spoons ever played at CTY with support of RAs Rory, Cordaro, Daniel, and Evan. 40 people participated with over eight decks of cards in play. People kept throwing spoons and cheating, meanwhile, during gametime, people were crawling on top of one another to get a spoon. The game ended halfway through because of concerns brought up by RA Theron.<br />
<br />
===Friend Journal===<br />
<br />
In an effort to help make squirrels more knowledgeable about the tradition at Lancaster, the 19.1 Friend Sylvie made a journal with everything there was to know about tradition. The journal became an extremely useful for all those coming to Lancaster.<br />
<br />
===Talent Show===<br />
<br />
Lemmy performed 'Count on Me' by Bruno Mars. Multiple people performed the piano, including a beautiful original piece. Standup comedy was done by Sam. Eva and two others performed a duo of popular classical songs. One man performed a meme remix. One woman sang her heart out to 'X's and O's' by Elle King. The health office nurse sang a Christian piece. Amazing string performances were done. One man was brave enough to sing a pop song without music in the background. The talent show was great all around, but a bit short.<br />
<br />
===Pride Flags & Such===<br />
<br />
Pride flags were bought and worn all over Lancaster 19.1 throughout the remaining Pride Month and rest of the session. Clara Robertson charged $5 to ship quality content such as gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, and more flags. Many people 'took pride' in wearing them as capes, towels, blankets, etc. Many students flaunted the flags throughout 19.1 and participated in a pride parade, pride month, etc.<br />
<br />
===Alright===<br />
<br />
On June 8th, 2019, RA Evan and another RA brought a group of students down to Hartman Green to play a game half of them didn't know of. It's called '[[Alright]]', and you can read all about it by clicking the link around the word. To sum it up, the girls and boys got in separate groups, then proceeded to make absolute fools of themselves by screaming, picking up Dragon Zballs, running, and trying to look like vegetables. RA Evan did an amazing job, with the help of participants, to teach the game to a new generation. It was Alright.<br />
<br />
===Shampoo===<br />
<br />
On a particularly wet and rainy quad time, Andy Bohan got Henry Goldschmidt brought out their shampoo bottle and shampooed everyone's hair. It was a fun night with many moments including the transformation of Julien Goodrich into a Smurf.<br />
<br />
===Kivo Man and the Bean Spillage===<br />
During session there was a mysterious disappearance of one of the booth tables in Kivo. Coincidentally, it was the same table that Immy Drysdale, the 19.1 Father, had spilled beans all over a few hours prior to its disappearance. Also during session, the Alcove was once again yelled at by the Kivo Man to stop sitting on the ledge in the corner behind the high top tables. These are both crucial pieces of information. Because of these two incidents, Sophia Ribeiro, the 19.1 Holy Ghost, and Deej Cunniffe, the 20.1 Quotebook, created a chant complete with hand motions to document the two incidents. The chant goes as follows, <br />
<br />
KIVO MAN, <br />
sitting on <br />
the ledge, <br />
BEAN SPILLAGE <br />
<br />
The chant is broken up by word, each of which is accompanied by swinging your arms wildly either vertically or horizontally. The chant starts of vertically and switches with each word with the exeption of KIVO, which is spilt into its two syllables. This chant was added to the last after dance, and hopefully will continue on.<br />
<br />
===New Positions===<br />
At an unfortunately early hour of the morning, Deej Cunniffe decided that the current positions needed to be replaced, for absolutely no visible purpose at all. She came up with some new ones, which had no rhyme or reason in the least. These new positions included the KIVO diplomat, who's job it would be to apologize to the KIVO man whenever ctyers in KIVO were breaking the rules (which happens rather often), Throckmorton, cousin to all, who would also choreograph The Throcky Horror Picture Show, and Sticks, which had no explanation because she couldn't stop laughing for long enough to make one up. She brought these ideas down to the quad where Immy Drysdale, Lindsey Russ, Paige Zhang, Kristy Trojak, Allison Mak, and Grace Chen, who were all also awake far earlier than they would have liked to have been. Because of how early it was, these new positions seemed hilarious, and so they helped Deej compile the rest of the list, the final rendition of which included...<br />
<br />
KIVO diplomat - Apologizes to KIVO man,<br />
Throckmorton - cousin to all, runs Throcky, relic is several snapbacks on in all different directions and a pin that says respect women, <br />
Sticks - ????, <br />
Latex Man - enforcer of the Latex Ban,<br />
Schnader - just like, the embodiment of every plague, reminds people of the dangers of breaking PDA rules,<br />
Jan - Jean Man! his relic is a joutfit,<br />
Holy Ghost - enforces all of the rules using whatever means necessary. will arrest you for treason if you even LOOK at one of F&Ms trees. Stands between people to enforce PDA rules. Leave room for Jesus.<br />
<br />
Later they realized these new positions were not as funny as they were at seven am on a Saturday morning, but they were still referenced throughout session as an ongoing joke.<br />
<br />
===RA Andrew===<br />
Overcoming all odds, 16.1 Nomore Andrew Zhou became an RA at Lancaster. Due to a large portion of RAs being new to the site, RA Andrew served as the veteran that everyone needed hosting LEGENDARY activities such as watching him flail like an idiot (a tribute to Asher's watch Asher flail like and idiot), playing the worlds worst song, bad acting appreciation and bad music theory. Overall, he was a super chill RA that kept on the legendary kazoos and immortalized the "wanna have a wrap battle?". We love you Andrew <3.<br />
<br />
===The Pestilence===<br />
As people came to session sick and with the lack of CTYers knowing how to not get sick, three different but equally terrifying diseases spread around the entire site getting entire halls sick and sending many to quarantine. This however did not stop many from still participating in disease spreading activities.<br />
<br />
===The Floats===<br />
Near the end of 19.1, two students, Tristan Mayock and Avery Lamprecht, had many brilliant ideas. It started when Tristan created a ranch float (a root beer float, but instead of root beer, it was ranch). Later on, Avery created a marinara sauce float and a ramen float. It is unknown whether or not Tristan drank his entire float, but Avery finished both the marinara float and the ramen float.</div>CronchyTreeshttps://www.realcty.org/index.php?title=User:CronchyTrees&diff=48033User:CronchyTrees2018-08-18T11:12:53Z<p>CronchyTrees: </p>

<div>Hello peoples! This is Avery Lamprecht. I’m really awkward around people and I like to draw and write, among other things. I am also clearly the strongest student at Lancaster. That is, if you exclude basically everyone there. I’m also boring and don’t really have that many hobbies- I can’t play any instruments, don’t do any sports, etc. For a person who loves writing, I have taken a low number of writing courses, but whatever. I plan to double session as much as possible. I am also wonderful at spellling.<br />

<div>Hey! I'm Jesse Markov. I've been at CTY since 16.2 and hope to get in as many sessions as possible (11 if I double every year I can and slightly work the system). I tend to be more of a math nerd than a writing nerd. I always bring a crap ton of food so sleepovers tend to be great. I'm generally a boring/chill person?? I stab people for fun though so that's cool. I live just northwest of Philly so if you're in the area hmu.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Lancaster, PA}}<br />
<br />
The [[Lancaster]] site is the oldest, longest-running, most populated, most tradition-heavy, and essentially the most superlative (although not necessarily best, depending on preference) CTY site that is still in operation. It boasts a recently renovated campus and facilities, many air-conditioned dorms with clean bathrooms, decent food, spacious classrooms, excellent staff, and a vivacious and diverse student body. It also features some of the rarer Math, Computer Science, and Science courses in the CTY program, supplemented by a healthful selection of Humanities courses. It is the only site with five dances and, with its many activities and tournaments, is one of the most intense sites in terms of utilized time - distinctly divided between in-class and out-of-class time - while still providing empty weekends for socializing and relaxation. Lancaster provides what is arguably one of the richest student experiences in the CTY program.<br />
<br />
After First Session of 2009, Lancaster became the single longest-running CTY site. Due to the flu outbreak at Carlisle which caused the site to close down in the middle of first session, the title once shared by the two sites finally fell to Lancaster.<br />
<br />
==Location==<br />
<br />
The Lancaster site is held at Franklin and Marshall College, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Lancaster is right in the middle of Pennsylvania Dutch country, but as a CTYer, you won't get the chance to do any Amish sightseeing, except perhaps on a weekend trip to the [[Farmers Market]] in downtown Lancaster (which is highly recommended, by the way). The rest of your time will be spent on campus, which at 55 acres is small but not cramped. The campus can seem a good deal smaller, though, during times when it is shared by other programs, including a number of sports camps. However, CTY is by far the largest presence at F&M during the summer.<br />
<br />
===Dorms===<br />
<br />
There are seven main dormitories which are or were used by CTY: North and South Ben (or Benjamin Franklin Residence Halls), Thomas, Schnader, Weis, Marshall-Buchanan, and [[First Dietz|Dietz]]. North and South Ben are each subdivided into four halls, and Thomas and Schnader both have north and south subdivisions as well. North and South Ben form the west side of the residential quad, flanking the dining hall, and Thomas and Schnader are on the east side. Weis Hall is located on the north end of the quad and often houses the staff. Marshall-Buchanan is on the south side of the quad. Dietz is inconveniently located all the way across Hartman Green, and its residents frequently lamented living there, though it has not been used for CTY since 2004. Since 2003, access to all the dorms is controlled by [[fob]]s.<br />
<br />
However, the dorms that CTYers actually occupy change from year to year because of renovations at F&M. <br />
<br />
During the 2004 sessions, students lived in North Ben, Thomas, Marshall-Buchanan, and Dietz. <br />
<br />
In 2005, students lived in Schnader, South Ben, Marshall (males only), and Buchanan (females only with the exception of a male hall in the basement) while the office and medical office were housed in Thomas. <br />
<br />
In 2006, students lived in Schander, South Ben, Marshall, and Thomas, while the office and the medical office were again housed in Thomas. <br />
<br />
In 2007, students lived in North Ben, South Ben, and Schnader, with the instructional and administrative staff in Thomas. Schnader was completely female, while North Ben was completely male. South Ben had males in Kunkel, Klein, and Dubbs Houses, and females in Atlee House. <br />
<br />
In 2008, North Ben and Thomas were completely female, with Marshall and Schnader housing males. South Ben was unoccupied due to construction. <br />
<br />
In 2009, North and South Ben were male dorms while Thomas and Schnader were female dorms. Marshall was unoccupied due to construction. This continued during Session 1 of 2010, but during Session 2, Thomas became a male dorm and South Ben became a female dorm. <br />
<br />
In session 1 of 2011, Thomas and Schnader were male dorms while North and South Ben were female dorms. In Session 2 of 2011, Thomas and North Ben were female dorms while Schnader and South Ben were male dorms. <br />
<br />
In session 1 of 2013, South Ben and Thomas were both female dorms, while Schnader and North Ben were male, and in session two, North and South Ben were female dorms, while Schnader and Thomas were male. <br />
<br />
During sessions 1 and 2 of 2016, North Ben was closed for renovations. <br />
<br />
In 17.1, South Ben was a all male dorm, while North Ben was co-ed with 2 female floors and 2 male floors. Weis was an all female dorm. In 17.2, South Ben was all male, North Ben was all female, and Weis was co-ed. <br />
<br />
In 2018, Thomas was all male, South Ben was co-ed, and North Ben was all female.<br />
<br />
All the dorms are air-conditioned, though the individual air-conditioners can be cranky and/or dysfunctional. One distinctive feature of the bedrooms in some buildings is their modular furniture. By properly positioning the wardrobe and dresser, the bed can be placed on top of both, creating a loft; ladders are provided in each room for this very purpose. This frees up a lot of space in the room, provided that you don't mind sleeping within two feet of the paneled ceiling. Occasionally, a student will fall out of a lofted bed, prompting the staff to enforce a "no lofts" policy. When this occurs, the RAs come through the halls [[Lexicon|debunking]] everyone's beds.<br />
<br />
In 2006, North Ben was under construction during both sessions of CTY. This caused much annoyance among students whose Frisbees were lost in that area during 06.1. From the fourth floor of Thomas, at least two dozen Frisbees were visible at any one time. Also during 06.1, the trees in the sectioned-off part of the Quad were cut down. In 2007, CTYers returned to find that construction on North Ben was complete, along with a glass-walled extension known as Ware, which was used for activities such as talent show practice. South Ben underwent similar construction in 2008, and the RAs made light of the lost Frisbees by basing a carnival off finding a double agent who was throwing Frisbees into the construction site.<br />
<br />
The issue of laundry is huge. In the Bens,it could take up to 4 hours to get a washer and an additional 2 hours to get a dryer. This resulted in many people skipping laundry day. The smell from the laundry room in Weis made at least two people feel sick in 17.1. Another thing about laundry is even if it seems like a good idea to do laundry at 2 AM because you forgot or because there aren't any lines, don't. This resulted in being banned from attending the end of the last dance. Moral of this story is to bring enough clothing to last all three weeks. Don't do laundry. Just don't. <br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/north-south-ben-franklin-hall South Ben]====<br />
<br />
South Ben is divided into four houses: Atlee, Dubbs, Klein, and Kunkel. These four houses each have three floors, except for Kunkel, which only has 2.<br />
<br />
'''Balconies''': During 06.1, someone climbed from the second floor balcony down to the first floor, which angered the Site Director and led him to close the balconies for Session 2. People also dropped things off the balconies, such as fobs, cookies, and kickballs (it was a hall bonding activity), which is now a violation of the rules. Despite this, balconies reopened for 2007 and remained open, despite one student climbing out a window onto a locked balcony and other miscellaneous rule-breaking. All balconies were off-limits in 2011. In 2012, the balconies were taken down.<br />
<br />
'''Atlee/Dubbs''': Atlee/Dubbs 2nd is one of the most popular lounges on campus due to its many couches and ample space. It is the setting of many fun stories of many couch orgies. The historic twenty-person couch orgy was held there using the two couches (a two-person couch and a three-person couch). "CTY '92, capturing the hearts of many by Kodak color film" is carved into a windowsill in this lounge. The third floor lounge was recently remade into what looks like a '50s diner, complete with shiny plastic booths and blatant coke advertisements on the walls, making it a popular hangout location.<br />
<br />
'''Klein/Kunkel''': The Klein/Kunkel lounges tend to see less traffic than the Atlee/Dubbs lounges.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/dietz-hall Dietz]====<br />
<br />
Dietz is a dormitory that is only used when other dorms are under construction and unable to be used. It is inconveniently located in a secluded area across Hartman Green. The last time it was used was 2004 when [[First Dietz]] was formed. Dietz was also used for intersession 2017.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/north-south-ben-franklin-hall North Ben]====<br />
<br />
North Ben is divided into four halls: Muhlenburg, Mull, Rauch, and Shaeffer. While the lounges located on each floor in each hall have been used heavily in the past, they are no longer co-ed and rarely used for activities.<br />
<br />
As an unfortunate sidenote, beginning in 09.1, there are very few, if any at all, microwaves in North Ben. This is because the kitchens mysteriously disappeared after 2008 due to F&M over-enrolling and needing to make more rooms. As of 2015, there was only one microwave on each floor, though they are not generally in use.<br />
<br />
The basement of North Ben has a semi-soundproof chamber with an awfully out-of-tune piano in it and a nice lounge with a library that you may or may not be allowed to use.<br />
<br />
During 15.1, South Ben was under construction. North Ben was a girls' dorm. This living situation gave birth to a new CTY disease, the Bens. The Bens were eerily similar to the Schnades.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/north-south-schnader-hall Schnader]====<br />
<br />
Schnader is most well-known for its first-floor co-ed lounge which has conveniences such as couches, chairs, tables, and the like. There is a large television in the lounge, but it is not usually on (or able to be turned on). The lounge is popular because of its large size, and because the furniture is nicer than that of any other lounge. There is also a small alcove across the hall from the lounge which holds two smaller couches and a coffee table. This space is usually used by anyone looking for a quieter atmosphere in which they can have private conversations. The Schnader 1 lounge is usually used for informal activities such as card games and lounging, but some official activity sessions are held there when it rains. Recently, all other Schnader lounges have been single sex only.<br />
<br />
Schnader 1 lounge is encased in glass and overlooks Schnader's exceptionally large porch. This porch is also commonly used as a meeting point, especially during [[Quad Time]]. It is also the site of the Passing of the [[Duck]].<br />
<br />
Schnader was extremely humid, especially in the basement, and in 07.2, the damp climate in Schnader caused many students to develop a cold which became known as "[[The Schnade]]" or "Schnades." This quickly spread to the rest of campus. Despite the obvious and visible mold (one girl found a covering of mold in her trashcan that was over an inch thick) in the Schnader showers and dorms, no staff member has admitted mold as a possibly culprit. The (known) symptoms of the Schnade include a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, coughing up blood, vomiting, a bad sore throat, and a bad British accent. Cases of pinkeye, pneumonia, chicken pox, sinus infections, and insomnia among the student body have also been attributed to the Schnade. However, in 2011, Schander was reportedly cleaned of most mold. In an effort to preserve this moldless state, air conditioners in all the rooms had to be kept on almost all the time, making the building pretty cold.<br />
<br />
During 11.2, there was an ant outbreak in Schnader, promoting students to clean their floors so staff could make inspections of their dorms. And during 12.1, there was a cockroach infestation.<br />
<br />
In 13.2, several rooms in one hall on the second floor were colonized with mold. As a result, the students were relocated to Weis hall for one night while the mold was removed.<br />
<br />
Schnader was not in use during 14.1 or 14.2 because the soccer camp was occupying it. However there is speculation that this might be the result of the Schnader basement shenanigans that happened during 13.2. In replacement, Weis was used as a hall for CTY. <br />
<br />
Schnader was closed during 17.1 due to construction.<br />
<br />
Many cases of the Schnade, or something similar, surfaced during 16.2. On the second floor, there was a black mold outbreak in one of the air conditioners. In the same room, one of the springs in the mattress broke, breaking the bed frame, and was temporarily fixed with pink duct tape borrowed from the nomores in Viv's Hall.<br />
<br />
In 2017, Schnader was being renovated because of the black mold and other issues (Oh sure, NOW they fix that - a former CTYer). The building was not used by CTY. However, it was used by a music camp early in the session. Let's pray to the poor, unfortunate souls who were in there this year.<br />
<br />
During 18.1, Schnader was not in use by CTY, however the basement was used for two nights of intersession accommodations. Despite the previous year’s remodeling, slight mold smells we’re still present and insects ran rampant.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/thomas-hall Thomas]====<br />
<br />
Thomas alternates between being a student dorm and a staff dorm; the presence of the administration office also seems to vary. In recent years, Thomas has housed both administration and students. It has a downstairs co-ed lounge which contains a collection of furniture. This lounge previously hosted the Passing of the [[Duck]], but this event has been moved to Schnader.<br />
<br />
The dorms in Thomas are organized into suites with accompanying lounges. Both double and single rooms branch off of these lounges, and there are typically three rooms per suite. These lounges are excellent for sleepovers and fort-building, such as the aptly named Fort Homoerotica in 2nd Thomas. In 06.2, [[Passionfruit]] Juice was kept chilled in an empty room on 2nd Thomas.<br />
<br />
Thomas was under construction during 17.1 and 17.2 and was not used by CTY.<br />
<br />
Thomas reopened in 18.1 and was an all boys dorm. Mainly single rooms with suites. 3-4 rooms per suite. The doors to the dorms have a large 1.5inch gap between the floor and the bottom of the door, allowing RAs to see light easily AND hear noise.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/marshall-buchanan-hall Marshall/Buchanan]====<br />
<br />
Marshall/Buchanan, often referred to as Marshall/Buch, is the hall on the south end of the residential quad. Its front side faces out onto the quad towards Weis, while to its rear is Buchanan Park(which is owned by the City of Lancaster, not F&M). The Franklin and Marshall Public Safety offices are located on the first floor of Marshall/Buch. It is not a residential hall.<br />
<br />
====[https://www.fandm.edu/weis-house Weis]====<br />
Weis is located on the north end of the quad. It often houses the staff, but was an all-girls' hall in 17.1 due to Schnader and Thomas being under construction. It was co-ed in 17.2. The health office was also located in Weis in 2017. <br />
<br />
Most rooms are doubles, and there are some singles. There are also suite rooms with couches, tables and chairs with one double room and two singles branching off. The suites are convenient for sleepovers. There is a water bottle filling station and plenty of microwaves.<br />
<br />
===Classrooms===<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/stager-hall Stager Hall]====<br />
<br />
Stager (pronounced Stay-grr, with a hard g) is an academic building at F&M with three floors and a basement. Many humanities classes meet here, and it is usually where the first rounds of the [[Quiz Bowl]] meet. Furthermore, activities such as chess tournaments, card and board games, and debate frequently meet here. Its facade is largely composed of glass, and many believe it looks a lot like a frog from far away! Stager's frogginess has earned it a variation of the "[[Wanna buy a duck?]]" game.<br />
<br />
Stager is conveniently located near Jazzman's and the Bookstore. Classes occasionally use their breaks to buy stuff there. Thus, it is possible for a Stager class taking a break to see members of a class from another building that are using their break to buy smoothies.<br />
<br />
In front of Stager Hall is the [http://library.fandm.edu/archives/collegearc/chesapeake.jpg Chesapeake], a great place to sit or climb during class breaks. The sculpture, made of stone and steel, was created by California artist [http://www.sculpture.org/portfolio/sculptorPage.php?sculptor_id=1000073 Woods Davy] and installed at F&M in 1985. It is often referred to as "Sticks and Stones".<br />
<br />
This building was originally called Stahr (pronounced like stair) Hall, until someone named Stager donated more money around 90 or so. Some of the old timers insisted on continuing to call it Stahr, or Stahr-with-a-silent-G.<br />
<br />
====Keiper Hall====<br />
<br />
Some math classes are held here, including the ever-popular Lancasterian favorite, Number Theory (previously taught by [[Pomm and Timmer]]). The desks in the classrooms of this building are really fun and colorful. Not only do thy swivel and roll around, but they come with a moveable cup holder and an under-the-seat tray to stash your belongings. The tops of the chairs also lean back. These are wonderful desks.<br />
<br />
Many writing courses are also taught in Keiper.<br />
<br />
On one of the rear exterior walls at the basement level there is a poem in some kind of orange chalk or paint pen (that was there from at least '88-93) that read as follows: <br><br />
<br />
War, he sang, is toil and trouble <br><br />
Honor but an empty bubble <br><br />
Never ending, still beginning <br><br />
fighting still and still destroying. <br><br />
So if this world be worth the winning <br><br />
think, oh think it worth enjoying <br><br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/martin-library-of-the-sciences Martin Library of the Sciences]====<br />
<br />
A more secluded building is the Martin Library of the Sciences, whose basement computer lab houses [[FCPS]].<br />
<br />
If your class is lucky enough to visit the MLS, it will usually take 1-2 hours for students to find a book. There are 3 levels. One where the computers are for you to look up your book, and two upper levels for you to find your book. Your TA will most likely be by the librarian waiting for you to check out your book and your teacher will be helping you find your book. With over 10 kids in a class and only one real supervisor, most CTY-ers choose to play "ninja," look up "not G-rated" material (it is a science library), or make out within the many shelves.<br />
<br />
====Other classroom buildings====<br />
<br />
Several science classes are taught in Fackenthal and Hackman Laboratories, which are two buildings between the residential quad and Mayser Gym. Fackenthal is connected to Kaufman Lecture Hall, which is often the venue for movie showings, especially when it rains during activity periods. The Life Sciences and Philosophy building, located behind Thomas and next to Weis Field, has been used for science classes occasionally in the past (HDIS.A in 2008). INBS A and B, BIOL.A, and THEO.A were held here in 17.1.<br />
<br />
Also, in 2008-9 HDIS.B used the Appel Infirmary, the F&M nurses office which containes 2 classrooms, and is located on Hartman Green.<br />
<br />
Students who take classes in any of the science buildings tend to miss out on a certain sense of community shared by Stager/Keiper students, who enjoy a communal break time spent on the steps outside Stager, on the benches in front of Keiper, and sometimes on the quad beyond. To be fair, however, Stager and Keiper students have to deal with making the comparatively lengthy (0.2-mile), parade-like trek from their buildings to the dining hall and back six times a day.<br />
<br />
During 16.1, multiple classes such as Ancient Greek, Crypto, and Advanced Robotics were located in the Shadek-Fackenthal library, located past Stager in the corner of campus.<br />
<br />
===Other Parts of Campus===<br />
<br />
====Arches====<br />
<br />
In front of the Dining Hall, there are a series of brick arches which provide support and protection from the elements. Many [[activities]], especially those involving crafts, are held here. According to [[Adam Roush]], two CTYers who met on the right side of the Arches (when looking at them from outside) in the 1980's eventually married, which is why the weekend Marriage Booth is always placed on the right side of the Arches.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/alumni-sports-fitness-center ASFC]====<br />
<br />
The ASFC (Alumni Sports & Fitness Center), sometimes affectionately known by its profane, phonetical pronunciation (or in some cases, Butt Sex), is a gym on F&M's campus which CTY students may use. Activities such as Swimming are held here. Most dances, at least in session 2, except for the first one, are held here.<br />
<br />
In the past, if it rained on a Friday or Saturday, the [[dance]] would be moved from the residential Quad in front of the dining hall to here. As terrible as this is, students generally come to a consenus that the ASFC is vastly superior to the Mayser Gym (due to increased ventilation), where rained-out dances have very occasionally been held when the ASFC is being used by craft festivals. Indoor dances are also less prone to dirt-dust being kicked up during songs that involve kicking. The ASFC is also generally the site of beginning-of-session registration, opening ceremonies, the talent show and closing ceremonies/parent conferences.<br />
<br />
In 2004, the dining hall was being renovated, so CTYers had to eat all three meals in the ASFC. Further indignity was heaped on the students when, during the second week of the Second Session, a crafts fair was held in the ASFC, forcing the meals to be held in a circus tent on Weis Field. "The Big Top," as it was affectionately known by the administration, was almost universally reviled for its heat, lack of space, and implication that CTYers were like barnyard animals who were merely there to be led to the trough.<br />
<br />
During 07.1, the very first dance was "rained" out and held at the ASFC. The next week, the RAs ran a survey by their kids to see if half the remaining dances could be held in the ASFC. A majority voted "yes," so for the rest of that session, the Friday dances were held in the ASFC. This, luckily, has not continued. However, in 08.1, the first two dances were held in the ASFC, and after the third dance, which was held outside, it was decided by the administration and the Health Office that the fourth dance would be held inside "because of the heat." RAs had to move the large stuffed chair that was to be used for the Rocky Horror performance that night from South Ben to the ASFC in an SUV. It was much hotter and far more humid in the gym than it was outside and several students and staff became ill from the heat. The final dance was held outside. In 09.1, all but the second and third dances were in the ASFC, much to the chagrin of those who wanted the last dance outside. It NEVER rained during the dances of 09.1, whether they were inside or out. In 09.2, all dances except the final one were in the ASFC. During 11.2 ALL dances were held in the ASFC. This was almost true in 15.2 (first was outdoors) and is considered normal.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map?show=hartman-green Hartman Green]====<br />
<br />
Hartman Green is a (usually) grassy area on the Franklin & Marshall campus. Oftentimes, due to the summer heat and lack of sufficient watering, the grass turns brown. Such an occurrence has been known to cause CTY staff and students to affectionately call the location "Hartman Brown" for the remainder of the summer. Other times, the Green and the accompanying sidewalk are dug up to relay piping, but the area has never been called "Hartman Piping" or "Hartman Hole." It is a popular location for classes to hold breaks and includes numerous walkways for students with bad aim to throw Frisbees over (though doing this will usually get said Frisbee confiscated). Hartman is also the site of the Passionfruit and the [[Electric Tree]], a tree with a power socket installed near the base of the trunk. As of 17:1, Frisbees were banned in the area, though Frisbees are legal again in Hartman Green as of 18.1.<br />
<br />
The mailroom is also located just off of Hartman Green.<br />
<br />
At the LAN.05.2 closing ceremony, the [[History of Disease]] and [[Archaeology]] classes performed a skit titled "The Excavation and Disease Control of Hartman Green."<br />
<br />
====Jazzman's====<br />
<br />
Jazzman's is a coffee shop located below the bookstore, right outside of Stager Hall. Most Instructors will take their students to Jazzman's or the Steinman Center coffee shop at least once per session. However, it is no longer open to students as of 10.1. Teachers still partake, however.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/mayser-physical-education-center Mayser Gym]====<br />
<br />
The other gym that CTYers use besides the ASFC is Mayser Gym. Those who sign up for [[basketball]], volleyball, and some other sports for [[activities]] will go here. Occasionally, if a dance is rained out, it will be held here, but only if the ASFC is unavailable.<br />
<br />
Due to a near-total lack of ventilation and the requirement that students remove their shoes before taking the dance floor, Mayser is the worst possible dance location. Because of this, a callback in its dishonor was created and added to the end of [[Sweet Transvestite]] on the [[Second Saturday]], although it has largely fallen out of use.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/steinman-college-center Steinman Center]====<br />
<br />
Steinman Center is home to the mailroom, however as of 12.1 it has ceased to be accessed by the students. Instead, one will typically find his/her RA to go down there to fetch their mail for them once every couple of days. The building is also host to a coffee shop almost identical to Jazzman's. The large rooms upstairs have hosted indoor tournaments in the past, such as the Super Poker Tournamoker in 05.2, and Swing Dancing! classes.<br />
<br />
====Weis Field====<br />
<br />
Weis Field is a large field behind Weis Hall where most of the sports activities and sports tournaments take place. Various classes have been known to go there to conduct experiments that were not safe for the classroom.<br />
<br />
===Other Non-Parts of Campus===<br />
<br />
Students at Lancaster generally only leave the F&M campus to go to three locations: [[Turkey Hill]], the sacred store; the [[Farmers Market]], actually Central Market, where fresh foods, fudge, and collectibles can be purchased; and Angry, Young and Poor (AYP), the world-renowned punk store.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.turkeyhillstores.com/default.asp Turkey Hill]====<br />
<br />
:''Main article: [[Turkey Hill]]<br />
<br />
Turkey Hill is a convenience store and gas station located, very conveniently, only a few steps off of campus from Weis Field. Students can go there to buy snacks, ice cream, and drinks. They can also go there to not buy condoms, which are contraband. Turkey Hill is referenced in "[[American Pie]]" in a callback to the line "I went down to the sacred store." It is where students go each year to purchase drinks for the [[Passionfruit]].<br />
<br />
====[http://www.centralmarketlancaster.com/ Farmers Market]====<br />
<br />
:''Main article: [[Farmers Market]]<br />
<br />
The Farmers Market is known to real Lancaster residents as Central Market; to call it the Farmers Market is to be a tourist, but it is also to be a CTYer. Students generally sign up on Fridays during the dance to go on trips to the Farmers Market the following Saturday. There, after a twenty minute trek, students can purchase fresh fruits, bagels, fudge, novelty signs, pastries, and various other country goodies. Unfortunately, the fudge cannot be brought back on campus because of suspected traces of nuts.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.angryyoungandpoor.com/store/pc/home.asp Angry, Young and Poor]====<br />
<br />
Angry, Young and Poor, very commonly abbreviated AYP, is the world's bestselling punk store. It is headquartered and located solely in downtown Lancaster; it gains its esteem from its sales on the Internet. AYP is traditionally a stop along the way back from the Farmers Market on Saturdays. Only the later trips (10:00 and 10:30) stop at AYP, because it tends to open quite late. Favorite products at AYP include hairdye, various studs, belts, hairdye, boots, hairdye, leopard print pants, skirts, hairdye, makeup, hairdye, and hairdye. Students often stop here early on Second Saturday to stock up on makeup, clothing, and especially on hairdye.<br />
AYP has a system known as Punk Rock Points, in which the price of each item bought is equivalent to a number of Punk Rock Points, which can be used toward future online purchases. AYP also sells band T-shirts (AC/DC, The Cure, Blondie, ect.), posters, guitar picks, and leather pants.<br />
<br />
It has been mistaken for an antique store. True story.<br />
<br />
==Food==<br />
<br />
All students eat in the central cafeteria on campus. There are four lines and four dining rooms. See [[Alcove]] and [[LLRT]] for information on the groups associated with specific areas of the dining halls.<br />
<br />
The features of the cafeteria include:<br />
<br />
# Dining Room 1<br />
#* KIVO (Kosher, International, Vegetarian/Vegan, and Organic)<br />
# Dining Room 2<br />
#* Main Line (standard style dorm food, usually meat, veggies, with rice/mashed potatoes, sometimes stir fry)<br />
#* Vegetarian Line<br />
#* Soup/Salad Bar<br />
# Entrance Area<br />
#* Drink Machines<br />
#* Fruit Table<br />
#*Desserts<br />
# Dining Room 3<br />
#* My Zone (Gluten free items)<br />
#* Kite and Key Grill (burgers, fries, etc.)<br />
#* Café Verde (Pizza Station)<br />
#* Soft Serve Machine<br />
#* Cereal<br />
#* Microwave<br />
<br />
<br />
Lancaster is the only peanut-free CTY site. The staff and most of the student body take this very seriously, as an atypically large percentage of the population has peanut allergies.<br />
<br />
As of 18.1, Lancaster has become notorious for its “god awful” and “wack” foods, especially the Asian and cultured food items. The dining hall has seen better days.<br />
===Dining Hall===<br />
<br />
The Dining Hall once consisted of four main dining rooms. Dining Room 4 was synonymous with the Land of the Large Round Tables, where the acronymous student group [[LLRT]] resided. In 2004, however, the facilities were renovated, and students were forced to trek across the footbridge (that no longer exists) for meals at the Alumni Sports & Fitness Center.<br />
<br />
As of 2004, only three main dining rooms remain in the F&M Dining Hall, in addition to the main entrance area, thus totaling four rooms. The room immediately to the left and right of the entrance (Dining Rooms 2 and 3, respectively) is where food is served, as well as where many students sit. Dining Room 4, two rooms to the right, has been converted into a special-events dining room and is not accessible from the regular dining hall and is thus not counted in the dining room totals. An exception to this general policy occurred during the [[Last Supper]] in 2007 and 2008, when Site Directors [[Brian Bloomfield]] and Debbie (respectively) opened the room for the event.<br />
<br />
Dining Room 1, two rooms to the left of the entrance room, is the location of the [[Alcove]], as well as Teh Corner and The Booth, two very nice corner booths, and as a smattering of tables. In 2007.2, this area was closed off, along with the beloved Alcove, for Kosherization. The Alcove relocated to a corner of Dining Room 2. In 2008, however, Dining Room 1 was reopened, along with its various protrusions. Dining Room 1 is now the home of KIVO and was only open for lunch and dinner on weekdays (except for Friday dinner) in 2008, but as of 2009 is open all the time and serves breakfast as well.<br />
<br />
In 2009, Dining Room 4, a.k.a. the LLRT, was reopened for student use. While open to CTYers in 10.1, it was reserved for other camps in 10.2 as well as in 2011 and then on.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Lancaster is one of the oldest CTY sites, and as such, has some of the oldest and richest traditions. Although the first OTID (Office of Talent Identification and Development, a former name for CTY) summer program was held at [[St. Mary's]] College in 1981 (1980, by other sources), it was held at Lancaster and [[Carlisle]] in the following year, and they both have been running ever since. After the early closing of Carlisle due to the H1N1 "Swine" flu in 2009, Lancaster is now the oldest continuously running CTY site . The site director Debbie proudly pointed this out in her speech during closing ceremonies.<br />
<br />
Throughout most of its history, Lancaster has been the largest site at CTY, hosting over 500 students each session. Until the early-1990s, Lancaster's many courses were organized into five colleges: Humanities (e.g. Logic & Rhetoric, Latin, etc.); Maryland Academy of Sciences (e.g. Astronomy, Marine Ecology, etc.); Pre-Calculus Mathematics; Fast-Paced AP Biology, Chemistry & Physics; and Advanced Math, Computer Science & Misc. Each college was partly autonomous, with its own graduation ceremony, and, starting in 1987, its own t-shirts. Since then, the academic organization has been streamlined into three subject areas (Humanities/Writing, Math/Computer Science, and Science) with a single graduation ceremony and no t-shirts.<br />
<br />
Because of its size and age, Lancaster has seen numerous student groups and traditions arise; some of these can be seen above.<br />
<br />
==Courses Offered==<br />
<br />
:''Main page: [[Courses]]''<br />
<br />
Lancaster has had traditionally been a hotspot for math and science courses. It is the only site to offer [[Number Theory]], [[Theory of Computation]], [[Data Structures and Algorithms]], [[Selected Topics in Advanced Biology]], and [[Selected Topics in Advanced Chemistry]]. Lancaster is one of two sites to offer [[History of Disease]], [[Archaeology]], and [[Paleobiology]]. In 2001, it was the first site to offer [[Cryptology]], and in 2010 the first to offer [[Advanced Cryptology]]. Lancaster also offers [[Fundamentals of Computer Science]]. Lancaster also has some strong humanities offerings, such as [[Ancient Greek]], though it lacks the breadth of [[Carlisle]] in this regard.<br />
<br />
==Students==<br />
<br />
When adding to the list, please try to keep it ordered by nomore year, and sub-ordered by number of years attended. Please only use site names to indicate years spent at sites '''other''' than Lancaster (LAN). Please only report years that you have been in attendance for - not what you plan to be at.<br />

==Miscellaneous==<br />
===Wildlife===<br />
On rare occasion, bunnies can be found in the bushes at night. (Update: In 14.1, bunnies were seen multiple times in the daylight on Hartman Green. This was also true in 2015.) (Update: In 17.1, bunnies were seen on Weis Field during breaks.) They are spotted by students (legally) during the return march from a weekend dance. Fireflies too abound on the edges of the quad at night and can be seen when returning from dances. If you are fortunate, you can spy one of the nesting pair of red-tailed hawks perched on the tall tree between Thomas and Schnader on the path leading to Hartman Green. The hawks are also often seen while on Weis Field. (Update: In 17.1 A Hawk was sighted on the quad on a tree in front of fenced off Thomas [unfortunately eating a squirrel or rabbit] while waiting for night class on Wednesday, June 28). Additionally, there are squirrels everywhere, leading to much confusion over whether one is talking about a squirrel or a squirrel. This often leads to people saying things like, "hey look, a new student running up a tree!" As of 18.1, the wild squirrels have become an integral part of the community, having been seen at 6:30 AM in a group of at least a dozen around the big tree in front of Thomas in a well organized circle, perhaps having a meeting or some sort of ritual. [https://photos.app.goo.gl/oVE5KBBiKJZqELgB6 (Photo of Squirrel in Thomas Tree)]They are often seen eating food dropped by CTY'ers and are the most prominent species. MIND.LAN.18.1 discovered abandoned baby house sparrows in a fallen nest during break, and were devastated to have to see them both die.

<div>Hello peoples! This is Avery Lamprecht. I’m really awkward around people and I like to draw and write, among other things. I am also clearly the strongest student at Lancaster. That is, if you exclude basically everyone there. I’m also boring and don’t really have that many hobbies- I can’t play any instruments, don’t do any sports, etc. For a person who loves writing, I have taken a low number of writing courses, but whatever. I plan to double session as much as possible. I am also wonderful at spellling.<br />

Hello Jesse</div>CronchyTreeshttps://www.realcty.org/index.php?title=Lancaster&diff=47115Lancaster2018-08-05T03:40:59Z<p>CronchyTrees: /* Students */</p>

<div>{{Lancaster, PA}}<br />
<br />
The [[Lancaster]] site is the oldest, longest-running, most populated, most tradition-heavy, and essentially the most superlative (although not necessarily best, depending on preference) CTY site that is still in operation. It boasts a recently renovated campus and facilities, many air-conditioned dorms with clean bathrooms, decent food, spacious classrooms, excellent staff, and a vivacious and diverse student body. It also features some of the rarer Math, Computer Science, and Science courses in the CTY program, supplemented by a healthful selection of Humanities courses. It is the only site with five dances and, with its many activities and tournaments, is one of the most intense sites in terms of utilized time - distinctly divided between in-class and out-of-class time - while still providing empty weekends for socializing and relaxation. Lancaster provides what is arguably one of the richest student experiences in the CTY program.<br />
<br />
After First Session of 2009, Lancaster became the single longest-running CTY site. Due to the flu outbreak at Carlisle which caused the site to close down in the middle of first session, the title once shared by the two sites finally fell to Lancaster.<br />
<br />
==Location==<br />
<br />
The Lancaster site is held at Franklin and Marshall College, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Lancaster is right in the middle of Pennsylvania Dutch country, but as a CTYer, you won't get the chance to do any Amish sightseeing, except perhaps on a weekend trip to the [[Farmers Market]] in downtown Lancaster (which is highly recommended, by the way). The rest of your time will be spent on campus, which at 55 acres is small but not cramped. The campus can seem a good deal smaller, though, during times when it is shared by other programs, including a number of sports camps. However, CTY is by far the largest presence at F&M during the summer.<br />
<br />
===Dorms===<br />
<br />
There are seven main dormitories which are or were used by CTY: North and South Ben (or Benjamin Franklin Residence Halls), Thomas, Schnader, Weis, Marshall-Buchanan, and [[First Dietz|Dietz]]. North and South Ben are each subdivided into four halls, and Thomas and Schnader both have north and south subdivisions as well. North and South Ben form the west side of the residential quad, flanking the dining hall, and Thomas and Schnader are on the east side. Weis Hall is located on the north end of the quad and often houses the staff. Marshall-Buchanan is on the south side of the quad. Dietz is inconveniently located all the way across Hartman Green, and its residents frequently lamented living there, though it has not been used for CTY since 2004. Since 2003, access to all the dorms is controlled by [[fob]]s.<br />
<br />
However, the dorms that CTYers actually occupy change from year to year because of renovations at F&M. <br />
<br />
During the 2004 sessions, students lived in North Ben, Thomas, Marshall-Buchanan, and Dietz. <br />
<br />
In 2005, students lived in Schnader, South Ben, Marshall (males only), and Buchanan (females only with the exception of a male hall in the basement) while the office and medical office were housed in Thomas. <br />
<br />
In 2006, students lived in Schander, South Ben, Marshall, and Thomas, while the office and the medical office were again housed in Thomas. <br />
<br />
In 2007, students lived in North Ben, South Ben, and Schnader, with the instructional and administrative staff in Thomas. Schnader was completely female, while North Ben was completely male. South Ben had males in Kunkel, Klein, and Dubbs Houses, and females in Atlee House. <br />
<br />
In 2008, North Ben and Thomas were completely female, with Marshall and Schnader housing males. South Ben was unoccupied due to construction. <br />
<br />
In 2009, North and South Ben were male dorms while Thomas and Schnader were female dorms. Marshall was unoccupied due to construction. This continued during Session 1 of 2010, but during Session 2, Thomas became a male dorm and South Ben became a female dorm. <br />
<br />
In session 1 of 2011, Thomas and Schnader were male dorms while North and South Ben were female dorms. In Session 2 of 2011, Thomas and North Ben were female dorms while Schnader and South Ben were male dorms. <br />
<br />
In session 1 of 2013, South Ben and Thomas were both female dorms, while Schnader and North Ben were male, and in session two, North and South Ben were female dorms, while Schnader and Thomas were male. <br />
<br />
During sessions 1 and 2 of 2016, North Ben was closed for renovations. <br />
<br />
In 17.1, South Ben was a all male dorm, while North Ben was co-ed with 2 female floors and 2 male floors. Weis was an all female dorm. In 17.2, South Ben was all male, North Ben was all female, and Weis was co-ed. <br />
<br />
In 18.1, Thomas was all male, South Ben was co-ed, and North Ben was all female.<br />
<br />
All the dorms are air-conditioned, though the individual air-conditioners can be cranky and/or dysfunctional. One distinctive feature of the bedrooms in some buildings is their modular furniture. By properly positioning the wardrobe and dresser, the bed can be placed on top of both, creating a loft; ladders are provided in each room for this very purpose. This frees up a lot of space in the room, provided that you don't mind sleeping within two feet of the paneled ceiling. Occasionally, a student will fall out of a lofted bed, prompting the staff to enforce a "no lofts" policy. When this occurs, the RAs come through the halls [[Lexicon|debunking]] everyone's beds.<br />
<br />
In 2006, North Ben was under construction during both sessions of CTY. This caused much annoyance among students whose Frisbees were lost in that area during 06.1. From the fourth floor of Thomas, at least two dozen Frisbees were visible at any one time. Also during 06.1, the trees in the sectioned-off part of the Quad were cut down. In 2007, CTYers returned to find that construction on North Ben was complete, along with a glass-walled extension known as Ware, which was used for activities such as talent show practice. South Ben underwent similar construction in 2008, and the RAs made light of the lost Frisbees by basing a carnival off finding a double agent who was throwing Frisbees into the construction site.<br />
<br />
The issue of laundry is huge. In the Bens,it could take up to 4 hours to get a washer and an additional 2 hours to get a dryer. This resulted in many people skipping laundry day. The smell from the laundry room in Weis made at least two people feel sick in 17.1. Another thing about laundry is even if it seems like a good idea to do laundry at 2 AM because you forgot or because there aren't any lines, don't. This resulted in being banned from attending the end of the last dance. Moral of this story is to bring enough clothing to last all three weeks. Don't do laundry. Just don't. <br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/north-south-ben-franklin-hall South Ben]====<br />
<br />
South Ben is divided into four houses: Atlee, Dubbs, Klein, and Kunkel. These four houses each have three floors, except for Kunkel, which only has 2.<br />
<br />
'''Balconies''': During 06.1, someone climbed from the second floor balcony down to the first floor, which angered the Site Director and led him to close the balconies for Session 2. People also dropped things off the balconies, such as fobs, cookies, and kickballs (it was a hall bonding activity), which is now a violation of the rules. Despite this, balconies reopened for 2007 and remained open, despite one student climbing out a window onto a locked balcony and other miscellaneous rule-breaking. All balconies were off-limits in 2011. In 2012, the balconies were taken down.<br />
<br />
'''Atlee/Dubbs''': Atlee/Dubbs 2nd is one of the most popular lounges on campus due to its many couches and ample space. It is the setting of many fun stories of many couch orgies. The historic twenty-person couch orgy was held there using the two couches (a two-person couch and a three-person couch). "CTY '92, capturing the hearts of many by Kodak color film" is carved into a windowsill in this lounge. The third floor lounge was recently remade into what looks like a '50s diner, complete with shiny plastic booths and blatant coke advertisements on the walls, making it a popular hangout location.<br />
<br />
'''Klein/Kunkel''': The Klein/Kunkel lounges tend to see less traffic than the Atlee/Dubbs lounges.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/dietz-hall Dietz]====<br />
<br />
Dietz is a dormitory that is only used when other dorms are under construction and unable to be used. It is inconveniently located in a secluded area across Hartman Green. The last time it was used was 2004 when [[First Dietz]] was formed. Dietz was also used for intersession 2017.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/north-south-ben-franklin-hall North Ben]====<br />
<br />
North Ben is divided into four halls: Muhlenburg, Mull, Rauch, and Shaeffer. While the lounges located on each floor in each hall have been used heavily in the past, they are no longer co-ed and rarely used for activities.<br />
<br />
As an unfortunate sidenote, beginning in 09.1, there are very few, if any at all, microwaves in North Ben. This is because the kitchens mysteriously disappeared after 2008 due to F&M over-enrolling and needing to make more rooms. As of 2015, there was only one microwave on each floor, though they are not generally in use.<br />
<br />
The basement of North Ben has a semi-soundproof chamber with an awfully out-of-tune piano in it and a nice lounge with a library that you may or may not be allowed to use.<br />
<br />
During 15.1, South Ben was under construction. North Ben was a girls' dorm. This living situation gave birth to a new CTY disease, the Bens. The Bens were eerily similar to the Schnades.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/north-south-schnader-hall Schnader]====<br />
<br />
Schnader is most well-known for its first-floor co-ed lounge which has conveniences such as couches, chairs, tables, and the like. There is a large television in the lounge, but it is not usually on (or able to be turned on). The lounge is popular because of its large size, and because the furniture is nicer than that of any other lounge. There is also a small alcove across the hall from the lounge which holds two smaller couches and a coffee table. This space is usually used by anyone looking for a quieter atmosphere in which they can have private conversations. The Schnader 1 lounge is usually used for informal activities such as card games and lounging, but some official activity sessions are held there when it rains. Recently, all other Schnader lounges have been single sex only.<br />
<br />
Schnader 1 lounge is encased in glass and overlooks Schnader's exceptionally large porch. This porch is also commonly used as a meeting point, especially during [[Quad Time]]. It is also the site of the Passing of the [[Duck]].<br />
<br />
Schnader was extremely humid, especially in the basement, and in 07.2, the damp climate in Schnader caused many students to develop a cold which became known as "[[The Schnade]]" or "Schnades." This quickly spread to the rest of campus. Despite the obvious and visible mold (one girl found a covering of mold in her trashcan that was over an inch thick) in the Schnader showers and dorms, no staff member has admitted mold as a possibly culprit. The (known) symptoms of the Schnade include a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, coughing up blood, vomiting, a bad sore throat, and a bad British accent. Cases of pinkeye, pneumonia, chicken pox, sinus infections, and insomnia among the student body have also been attributed to the Schnade. However, in 2011, Schander was reportedly cleaned of most mold. In an effort to preserve this moldless state, air conditioners in all the rooms had to be kept on almost all the time, making the building pretty cold.<br />
<br />
During 11.2, there was an ant outbreak in Schnader, promoting students to clean their floors so staff could make inspections of their dorms. And during 12.1, there was a cockroach infestation.<br />
<br />
In 13.2, several rooms in one hall on the second floor were colonized with mold. As a result, the students were relocated to Weis hall for one night while the mold was removed.<br />
<br />
Schnader was not in use during 14.1 or 14.2 because the soccer camp was occupying it. However there is speculation that this might be the result of the Schnader basement shenanigans that happened during 13.2. In replacement, Weis was used as a hall for CTY. <br />
<br />
Schnader was closed during 17.1 due to construction.<br />
<br />
Many cases of the Schnade, or something similar, surfaced during 16.2. On the second floor, there was a black mold outbreak in one of the air conditioners. In the same room, one of the springs in the mattress broke, breaking the bed frame, and was temporarily fixed with pink duct tape borrowed from the nomores in Viv's Hall.<br />
<br />
In 2017, Schnader was being renovated because of the black mold and other issues (Oh sure, NOW they fix that - a former CTYer). The building was not used by CTY. However, it was used by a music camp early in the session. Let's pray to the poor, unfortunate souls who were in there this year.<br />
<br />
During 18.1, Schnader was not in use by CTY, however the basement was used for two nights of intersession accommodations. Despite the previous year’s remodeling, slight mold smells we’re still present and insects ran rampant.<br />

Thomas alternates between being a student dorm and a staff dorm; the presence of the administration office also seems to vary. In recent years, Thomas has housed both administration and students. It has a downstairs co-ed lounge which contains a collection of furniture. This lounge previously hosted the Passing of the [[Duck]], but this event has been moved to Schnader.<br />
<br />
The dorms in Thomas are organized into suites with accompanying lounges. Both double and single rooms branch off of these lounges, and there are typically three rooms per suite. These lounges are excellent for sleepovers and fort-building, such as the aptly named Fort Homoerotica in 2nd Thomas. In 06.2, [[Passionfruit]] Juice was kept chilled in an empty room on 2nd Thomas.<br />
<br />
Thomas was under construction during 17.1 and 17.2 and was not used by CTY.<br />
<br />
Thomas reopened in 18.1 and was an all boys dorm. Mainly single rooms with suites. 3-4 rooms per suite. The doors to the dorms have a large 1.5inch gap between the floor and the bottom of the door, allowing RAs to see light easily AND hear noise.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/marshall-buchanan-hall Marshall/Buchanan]====<br />
<br />
Marshall/Buchanan, often referred to as Marshall/Buch, is the hall on the south end of the residential quad. Its front side faces out onto the quad towards Weis, while to its rear is Buchanan Park(which is owned by the City of Lancaster, not F&M). The Franklin and Marshall Public Safety offices are located on the first floor of Marshall/Buch. It is not a residential hall.<br />
<br />
====[https://www.fandm.edu/weis-house Weis]====<br />
Weis is located on the north end of the quad. It often houses the staff, but was an all-girls' hall in 17.1 due to Schnader and Thomas being under construction. It was co-ed in 17.2. The health office was also located in Weis in 2017. <br />
<br />
Most rooms are doubles, and there are some singles. There are also suite rooms with couches, tables and chairs with one double room and two singles branching off. The suites are convenient for sleepovers. There is a water bottle filling station and plenty of microwaves.<br />
<br />
===Classrooms===<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/stager-hall Stager Hall]====<br />
<br />
Stager (pronounced Stay-grr, with a hard g) is an academic building at F&M with three floors and a basement. Many humanities classes meet here, and it is usually where the first rounds of the [[Quiz Bowl]] meet. Furthermore, activities such as chess tournaments, card and board games, and debate frequently meet here. Its facade is largely composed of glass, and many believe it looks a lot like a frog from far away! Stager's frogginess has earned it a variation of the "[[Wanna buy a duck?]]" game.<br />
<br />
Stager is conveniently located near Jazzman's and the Bookstore. Classes occasionally use their breaks to buy stuff there. Thus, it is possible for a Stager class taking a break to see members of a class from another building that are using their break to buy smoothies.<br />
<br />
In front of Stager Hall is the [http://library.fandm.edu/archives/collegearc/chesapeake.jpg Chesapeake], a great place to sit or climb during class breaks. The sculpture, made of stone and steel, was created by California artist [http://www.sculpture.org/portfolio/sculptorPage.php?sculptor_id=1000073 Woods Davy] and installed at F&M in 1985. It is often referred to as "Sticks and Stones".<br />
<br />
This building was originally called Stahr (pronounced like stair) Hall, until someone named Stager donated more money around 90 or so. Some of the old timers insisted on continuing to call it Stahr, or Stahr-with-a-silent-G.<br />
<br />
====Keiper Hall====<br />
<br />
Some math classes are held here, including the ever-popular Lancasterian favorite, Number Theory (previously taught by [[Pomm and Timmer]]). The desks in the classrooms of this building are really fun and colorful. Not only do thy swivel and roll around, but they come with a moveable cup holder and an under-the-seat tray to stash your belongings. The tops of the chairs also lean back. These are wonderful desks.<br />
<br />
Many writing courses are also taught in Keiper.<br />
<br />
On one of the rear exterior walls at the basement level there is a poem in some kind of orange chalk or paint pen (that was there from at least '88-93) that read as follows: <br><br />
<br />
War, he sang, is toil and trouble <br><br />
Honor but an empty bubble <br><br />
Never ending, still beginning <br><br />
fighting still and still destroying. <br><br />
So if this world be worth the winning <br><br />
think, oh think it worth enjoying <br><br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/martin-library-of-the-sciences Martin Library of the Sciences]====<br />
<br />
A more secluded building is the Martin Library of the Sciences, whose basement computer lab houses [[FCPS]].<br />
<br />
If your class is lucky enough to visit the MLS, it will usually take 1-2 hours for students to find a book. There are 3 levels. One where the computers are for you to look up your book, and two upper levels for you to find your book. Your TA will most likely be by the librarian waiting for you to check out your book and your teacher will be helping you find your book. With over 10 kids in a class and only one real supervisor, most CTY-ers choose to play "ninja," look up "not G-rated" material (it is a science library), or make out within the many shelves.<br />
<br />
====Other classroom buildings====<br />
<br />
Several science classes are taught in Fackenthal and Hackman Laboratories, which are two buildings between the residential quad and Mayser Gym. Fackenthal is connected to Kaufman Lecture Hall, which is often the venue for movie showings, especially when it rains during activity periods. The Life Sciences and Philosophy building, located behind Thomas and next to Weis Field, has been used for science classes occasionally in the past (HDIS.A in 2008). INBS A and B, BIOL.A, and THEO.A were held here in 17.1.<br />
<br />
Also, in 2008-9 HDIS.B used the Appel Infirmary, the F&M nurses office which containes 2 classrooms, and is located on Hartman Green.<br />
<br />
Students who take classes in any of the science buildings tend to miss out on a certain sense of community shared by Stager/Keiper students, who enjoy a communal break time spent on the steps outside Stager, on the benches in front of Keiper, and sometimes on the quad beyond. To be fair, however, Stager and Keiper students have to deal with making the comparatively lengthy (0.2-mile), parade-like trek from their buildings to the dining hall and back six times a day.<br />
<br />
During 16.1, multiple classes such as Ancient Greek, Crypto, and Advanced Robotics were located in the Shadek-Fackenthal library, located past Stager in the corner of campus.<br />
<br />
===Other Parts of Campus===<br />
<br />
====Arches====<br />
<br />
In front of the Dining Hall, there are a series of brick arches which provide support and protection from the elements. Many [[activities]], especially those involving crafts, are held here. According to [[Adam Roush]], two CTYers who met on the right side of the Arches (when looking at them from outside) in the 1980's eventually married, which is why the weekend Marriage Booth is always placed on the right side of the Arches.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/alumni-sports-fitness-center ASFC]====<br />
<br />
The ASFC (Alumni Sports & Fitness Center), sometimes affectionately known by its profane, phonetical pronunciation (or in some cases, Butt Sex), is a gym on F&M's campus which CTY students may use. Activities such as Swimming are held here. Most dances, at least in session 2, except for the first one, are held here.<br />
<br />
In the past, if it rained on a Friday or Saturday, the [[dance]] would be moved from the residential Quad in front of the dining hall to here. As terrible as this is, students generally come to a consenus that the ASFC is vastly superior to the Mayser Gym (due to increased ventilation), where rained-out dances have very occasionally been held when the ASFC is being used by craft festivals. Indoor dances are also less prone to dirt-dust being kicked up during songs that involve kicking. The ASFC is also generally the site of beginning-of-session registration, opening ceremonies, the talent show and closing ceremonies/parent conferences.<br />
<br />
In 2004, the dining hall was being renovated, so CTYers had to eat all three meals in the ASFC. Further indignity was heaped on the students when, during the second week of the Second Session, a crafts fair was held in the ASFC, forcing the meals to be held in a circus tent on Weis Field. "The Big Top," as it was affectionately known by the administration, was almost universally reviled for its heat, lack of space, and implication that CTYers were like barnyard animals who were merely there to be led to the trough.<br />
<br />
During 07.1, the very first dance was "rained" out and held at the ASFC. The next week, the RAs ran a survey by their kids to see if half the remaining dances could be held in the ASFC. A majority voted "yes," so for the rest of that session, the Friday dances were held in the ASFC. This, luckily, has not continued. However, in 08.1, the first two dances were held in the ASFC, and after the third dance, which was held outside, it was decided by the administration and the Health Office that the fourth dance would be held inside "because of the heat." RAs had to move the large stuffed chair that was to be used for the Rocky Horror performance that night from South Ben to the ASFC in an SUV. It was much hotter and far more humid in the gym than it was outside and several students and staff became ill from the heat. The final dance was held outside. In 09.1, all but the second and third dances were in the ASFC, much to the chagrin of those who wanted the last dance outside. It NEVER rained during the dances of 09.1, whether they were inside or out. In 09.2, all dances except the final one were in the ASFC. During 11.2 ALL dances were held in the ASFC. This was almost true in 15.2 (first was outdoors) and is considered normal.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map?show=hartman-green Hartman Green]====<br />
<br />
Hartman Green is a (usually) grassy area on the Franklin & Marshall campus. Oftentimes, due to the summer heat and lack of sufficient watering, the grass turns brown. Such an occurrence has been known to cause CTY staff and students to affectionately call the location "Hartman Brown" for the remainder of the summer. Other times, the Green and the accompanying sidewalk are dug up to relay piping, but the area has never been called "Hartman Piping" or "Hartman Hole." It is a popular location for classes to hold breaks and includes numerous walkways for students with bad aim to throw Frisbees over (though doing this will usually get said Frisbee confiscated). Hartman is also the site of the Passionfruit and the [[Electric Tree]], a tree with a power socket installed near the base of the trunk. As of 17:1, Frisbees were banned in the area, though Frisbees are legal again in Hartman Green as of 18.1.<br />
<br />
The mailroom is also located just off of Hartman Green.<br />
<br />
At the LAN.05.2 closing ceremony, the [[History of Disease]] and [[Archaeology]] classes performed a skit titled "The Excavation and Disease Control of Hartman Green."<br />
<br />
====Jazzman's====<br />
<br />
Jazzman's is a coffee shop located below the bookstore, right outside of Stager Hall. Most Instructors will take their students to Jazzman's or the Steinman Center coffee shop at least once per session. However, it is no longer open to students as of 10.1. Teachers still partake, however.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/mayser-physical-education-center Mayser Gym]====<br />
<br />
The other gym that CTYers use besides the ASFC is Mayser Gym. Those who sign up for [[basketball]], volleyball, and some other sports for [[activities]] will go here. Occasionally, if a dance is rained out, it will be held here, but only if the ASFC is unavailable.<br />
<br />
Due to a near-total lack of ventilation and the requirement that students remove their shoes before taking the dance floor, Mayser is the worst possible dance location. Because of this, a callback in its dishonor was created and added to the end of [[Sweet Transvestite]] on the [[Second Saturday]], although it has largely fallen out of use.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/steinman-college-center Steinman Center]====<br />
<br />
Steinman Center is home to the mailroom, however as of 12.1 it has ceased to be accessed by the students. Instead, one will typically find his/her RA to go down there to fetch their mail for them once every couple of days. The building is also host to a coffee shop almost identical to Jazzman's. The large rooms upstairs have hosted indoor tournaments in the past, such as the Super Poker Tournamoker in 05.2, and Swing Dancing! classes.<br />
<br />
====Weis Field====<br />
<br />
Weis Field is a large field behind Weis Hall where most of the sports activities and sports tournaments take place. Various classes have been known to go there to conduct experiments that were not safe for the classroom.<br />
<br />
===Other Non-Parts of Campus===<br />
<br />
Students at Lancaster generally only leave the F&M campus to go to three locations: [[Turkey Hill]], the sacred store; the [[Farmers Market]], actually Central Market, where fresh foods, fudge, and collectibles can be purchased; and Angry, Young and Poor (AYP), the world-renowned punk store.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.turkeyhillstores.com/default.asp Turkey Hill]====<br />
<br />
:''Main article: [[Turkey Hill]]<br />
<br />
Turkey Hill is a convenience store and gas station located, very conveniently, only a few steps off of campus from Weis Field. Students can go there to buy snacks, ice cream, and drinks. They can also go there to not buy condoms, which are contraband. Turkey Hill is referenced in "[[American Pie]]" in a callback to the line "I went down to the sacred store." It is where students go each year to purchase drinks for the [[Passionfruit]].<br />
<br />
====[http://www.centralmarketlancaster.com/ Farmers Market]====<br />
<br />
:''Main article: [[Farmers Market]]<br />
<br />
The Farmers Market is known to real Lancaster residents as Central Market; to call it the Farmers Market is to be a tourist, but it is also to be a CTYer. Students generally sign up on Fridays during the dance to go on trips to the Farmers Market the following Saturday. There, after a twenty minute trek, students can purchase fresh fruits, bagels, fudge, novelty signs, pastries, and various other country goodies. Unfortunately, the fudge cannot be brought back on campus because of suspected traces of nuts.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.angryyoungandpoor.com/store/pc/home.asp Angry, Young and Poor]====<br />
<br />
Angry, Young and Poor, very commonly abbreviated AYP, is the world's bestselling punk store. It is headquartered and located solely in downtown Lancaster; it gains its esteem from its sales on the Internet. AYP is traditionally a stop along the way back from the Farmers Market on Saturdays. Only the later trips (10:00 and 10:30) stop at AYP, because it tends to open quite late. Favorite products at AYP include hairdye, various studs, belts, hairdye, boots, hairdye, leopard print pants, skirts, hairdye, makeup, hairdye, and hairdye. Students often stop here early on Second Saturday to stock up on makeup, clothing, and especially on hairdye.<br />
AYP has a system known as Punk Rock Points, in which the price of each item bought is equivalent to a number of Punk Rock Points, which can be used toward future online purchases. AYP also sells band T-shirts (AC/DC, The Cure, Blondie, ect.), posters, guitar picks, and leather pants.<br />
<br />
It has been mistaken for an antique store. True story.<br />
<br />
==Food==<br />
<br />
All students eat in the central cafeteria on campus. There are four lines and four dining rooms. See [[Alcove]] and [[LLRT]] for information on the groups associated with specific areas of the dining halls.<br />
<br />
The features of the cafeteria include:<br />
<br />
# Dining Room 1<br />
#* KIVO (Kosher, International, Vegetarian/Vegan, and Organic)<br />
# Dining Room 2<br />
#* Main Line (standard style dorm food, usually meat, veggies, with rice/mashed potatoes, sometimes stir fry)<br />
#* Vegetarian Line<br />
#* Soup/Salad Bar<br />
# Entrance Area<br />
#* Drink Machines<br />
#* Fruit Table<br />
#*Desserts<br />
# Dining Room 3<br />
#* My Zone (Gluten free items)<br />
#* Kite and Key Grill (burgers, fries, etc.)<br />
#* Café Verde (Pizza Station)<br />
#* Soft Serve Machine<br />
#* Cereal<br />
#* Microwave<br />
<br />
<br />
Lancaster is the only peanut-free CTY site. The staff and most of the student body take this very seriously, as an atypically large percentage of the population has peanut allergies.<br />
<br />
As of 18.1, Lancaster has become notorious for its “god awful” and “wack” foods, especially the Asian and cultured food items. The dining hall has seen better days.<br />
===Dining Hall===<br />
<br />
The Dining Hall once consisted of four main dining rooms. Dining Room 4 was synonymous with the Land of the Large Round Tables, where the acronymous student group [[LLRT]] resided. In 2004, however, the facilities were renovated, and students were forced to trek across the footbridge (that no longer exists) for meals at the Alumni Sports & Fitness Center.<br />
<br />
As of 2004, only three main dining rooms remain in the F&M Dining Hall, in addition to the main entrance area, thus totaling four rooms. The room immediately to the left and right of the entrance (Dining Rooms 2 and 3, respectively) is where food is served, as well as where many students sit. Dining Room 4, two rooms to the right, has been converted into a special-events dining room and is not accessible from the regular dining hall and is thus not counted in the dining room totals. An exception to this general policy occurred during the [[Last Supper]] in 2007 and 2008, when Site Directors [[Brian Bloomfield]] and Debbie (respectively) opened the room for the event.<br />
<br />
Dining Room 1, two rooms to the left of the entrance room, is the location of the [[Alcove]], as well as Teh Corner and The Booth, two very nice corner booths, and as a smattering of tables. In 2007.2, this area was closed off, along with the beloved Alcove, for Kosherization. The Alcove relocated to a corner of Dining Room 2. In 2008, however, Dining Room 1 was reopened, along with its various protrusions. Dining Room 1 is now the home of KIVO and was only open for lunch and dinner on weekdays (except for Friday dinner) in 2008, but as of 2009 is open all the time and serves breakfast as well.<br />
<br />
In 2009, Dining Room 4, a.k.a. the LLRT, was reopened for student use. While open to CTYers in 10.1, it was reserved for other camps in 10.2 as well as in 2011 and then on.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Lancaster is one of the oldest CTY sites, and as such, has some of the oldest and richest traditions. Although the first OTID (Office of Talent Identification and Development, a former name for CTY) summer program was held at [[St. Mary's]] College in 1981 (1980, by other sources), it was held at Lancaster and [[Carlisle]] in the following year, and they both have been running ever since. After the early closing of Carlisle due to the H1N1 "Swine" flu in 2009, Lancaster is now the oldest continuously running CTY site . The site director Debbie proudly pointed this out in her speech during closing ceremonies.<br />
<br />
Throughout most of its history, Lancaster has been the largest site at CTY, hosting over 500 students each session. Until the early-1990s, Lancaster's many courses were organized into five colleges: Humanities (e.g. Logic & Rhetoric, Latin, etc.); Maryland Academy of Sciences (e.g. Astronomy, Marine Ecology, etc.); Pre-Calculus Mathematics; Fast-Paced AP Biology, Chemistry & Physics; and Advanced Math, Computer Science & Misc. Each college was partly autonomous, with its own graduation ceremony, and, starting in 1987, its own t-shirts. Since then, the academic organization has been streamlined into three subject areas (Humanities/Writing, Math/Computer Science, and Science) with a single graduation ceremony and no t-shirts.<br />
<br />
Because of its size and age, Lancaster has seen numerous student groups and traditions arise; some of these can be seen above.<br />
<br />
==Courses Offered==<br />
<br />
:''Main page: [[Courses]]''<br />
<br />
Lancaster has had traditionally been a hotspot for math and science courses. It is the only site to offer [[Number Theory]], [[Theory of Computation]], [[Data Structures and Algorithms]], [[Selected Topics in Advanced Biology]], and [[Selected Topics in Advanced Chemistry]]. Lancaster is one of two sites to offer [[History of Disease]], [[Archaeology]], and [[Paleobiology]]. In 2001, it was the first site to offer [[Cryptology]], and in 2010 the first to offer [[Advanced Cryptology]]. Lancaster also offers [[Fundamentals of Computer Science]]. Lancaster also has some strong humanities offerings, such as [[Ancient Greek]], though it lacks the breadth of [[Carlisle]] in this regard.<br />
<br />
==Students==<br />
<br />
When adding to the list, please try to keep it ordered by nomore year, and sub-ordered by number of years attended. Please only use site names to indicate years spent at sites '''other''' than Lancaster (LAN). Please only report years that you have been in attendance for - not what you plan to be at.<br />

==Miscellaneous==<br />
===Wildlife===<br />
On rare occasion, bunnies can be found in the bushes at night. (Update: In 14.1, bunnies were seen multiple times in the daylight on Hartman Green. This was also true in 2015.) (Update: In 17.1, bunnies were seen on Weis Field during breaks.) They are spotted by students (legally) during the return march from a weekend dance. Fireflies too abound on the edges of the quad at night and can be seen when returning from dances. If you are fortunate, you can spy one of the nesting pair of red-tailed hawks perched on the tall tree between Thomas and Schnader on the path leading to Hartman Green. The hawks are also often seen while on Weis Field. (Update: In 17.1 A Hawk was sighted on the quad on a tree in front of fenced off Thomas [unfortunately eating a squirrel or rabbit] while waiting for night class on Wednesday, June 28). Additionally, there are squirrels everywhere, leading to much confusion over whether one is talking about a squirrel or a squirrel. This often leads to people saying things like, "hey look, a new student running up a tree!" As of 18.1, the wild squirrels have become an integral part of the community, having been seen at 6:30 AM in a group of at least a dozen around the big tree in front of Thomas in a well organized circle, perhaps having a meeting or some sort of ritual. [https://photos.app.goo.gl/oVE5KBBiKJZqELgB6 (Photo of Squirrel in Thomas Tree)]They are often seen eating food dropped by CTY'ers and are the most prominent species. MIND.LAN.18.1 discovered abandoned baby house sparrows in a fallen nest during break, and were devastated to have to see them both die.

{{The Essential CTY}}<br />
<br />

<br />
[[Category:Lancaster|*]]</div>CronchyTreeshttps://www.realcty.org/index.php?title=Lancaster&diff=47114Lancaster2018-08-05T03:38:59Z<p>CronchyTrees: /* Students */</p>

<div>{{Lancaster, PA}}<br />
<br />
The [[Lancaster]] site is the oldest, longest-running, most populated, most tradition-heavy, and essentially the most superlative (although not necessarily best, depending on preference) CTY site that is still in operation. It boasts a recently renovated campus and facilities, many air-conditioned dorms with clean bathrooms, decent food, spacious classrooms, excellent staff, and a vivacious and diverse student body. It also features some of the rarer Math, Computer Science, and Science courses in the CTY program, supplemented by a healthful selection of Humanities courses. It is the only site with five dances and, with its many activities and tournaments, is one of the most intense sites in terms of utilized time - distinctly divided between in-class and out-of-class time - while still providing empty weekends for socializing and relaxation. Lancaster provides what is arguably one of the richest student experiences in the CTY program.<br />
<br />
After First Session of 2009, Lancaster became the single longest-running CTY site. Due to the flu outbreak at Carlisle which caused the site to close down in the middle of first session, the title once shared by the two sites finally fell to Lancaster.<br />
<br />
==Location==<br />
<br />
The Lancaster site is held at Franklin and Marshall College, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Lancaster is right in the middle of Pennsylvania Dutch country, but as a CTYer, you won't get the chance to do any Amish sightseeing, except perhaps on a weekend trip to the [[Farmers Market]] in downtown Lancaster (which is highly recommended, by the way). The rest of your time will be spent on campus, which at 55 acres is small but not cramped. The campus can seem a good deal smaller, though, during times when it is shared by other programs, including a number of sports camps. However, CTY is by far the largest presence at F&M during the summer.<br />
<br />
===Dorms===<br />
<br />
There are seven main dormitories which are or were used by CTY: North and South Ben (or Benjamin Franklin Residence Halls), Thomas, Schnader, Weis, Marshall-Buchanan, and [[First Dietz|Dietz]]. North and South Ben are each subdivided into four halls, and Thomas and Schnader both have north and south subdivisions as well. North and South Ben form the west side of the residential quad, flanking the dining hall, and Thomas and Schnader are on the east side. Weis Hall is located on the north end of the quad and often houses the staff. Marshall-Buchanan is on the south side of the quad. Dietz is inconveniently located all the way across Hartman Green, and its residents frequently lamented living there, though it has not been used for CTY since 2004. Since 2003, access to all the dorms is controlled by [[fob]]s.<br />
<br />
However, the dorms that CTYers actually occupy change from year to year because of renovations at F&M. <br />
<br />
During the 2004 sessions, students lived in North Ben, Thomas, Marshall-Buchanan, and Dietz. <br />
<br />
In 2005, students lived in Schnader, South Ben, Marshall (males only), and Buchanan (females only with the exception of a male hall in the basement) while the office and medical office were housed in Thomas. <br />
<br />
In 2006, students lived in Schander, South Ben, Marshall, and Thomas, while the office and the medical office were again housed in Thomas. <br />
<br />
In 2007, students lived in North Ben, South Ben, and Schnader, with the instructional and administrative staff in Thomas. Schnader was completely female, while North Ben was completely male. South Ben had males in Kunkel, Klein, and Dubbs Houses, and females in Atlee House. <br />
<br />
In 2008, North Ben and Thomas were completely female, with Marshall and Schnader housing males. South Ben was unoccupied due to construction. <br />
<br />
In 2009, North and South Ben were male dorms while Thomas and Schnader were female dorms. Marshall was unoccupied due to construction. This continued during Session 1 of 2010, but during Session 2, Thomas became a male dorm and South Ben became a female dorm. <br />
<br />
In session 1 of 2011, Thomas and Schnader were male dorms while North and South Ben were female dorms. In Session 2 of 2011, Thomas and North Ben were female dorms while Schnader and South Ben were male dorms. <br />
<br />
In session 1 of 2013, South Ben and Thomas were both female dorms, while Schnader and North Ben were male, and in session two, North and South Ben were female dorms, while Schnader and Thomas were male. <br />
<br />
During sessions 1 and 2 of 2016, North Ben was closed for renovations. <br />
<br />
In 17.1, South Ben was a all male dorm, while North Ben was co-ed with 2 female floors and 2 male floors. Weis was an all female dorm. In 17.2, South Ben was all male, North Ben was all female, and Weis was co-ed. <br />
<br />
In 18.1, Thomas was all male, South Ben was co-ed, and North Ben was all female.<br />
<br />
All the dorms are air-conditioned, though the individual air-conditioners can be cranky and/or dysfunctional. One distinctive feature of the bedrooms in some buildings is their modular furniture. By properly positioning the wardrobe and dresser, the bed can be placed on top of both, creating a loft; ladders are provided in each room for this very purpose. This frees up a lot of space in the room, provided that you don't mind sleeping within two feet of the paneled ceiling. Occasionally, a student will fall out of a lofted bed, prompting the staff to enforce a "no lofts" policy. When this occurs, the RAs come through the halls [[Lexicon|debunking]] everyone's beds.<br />
<br />
In 2006, North Ben was under construction during both sessions of CTY. This caused much annoyance among students whose Frisbees were lost in that area during 06.1. From the fourth floor of Thomas, at least two dozen Frisbees were visible at any one time. Also during 06.1, the trees in the sectioned-off part of the Quad were cut down. In 2007, CTYers returned to find that construction on North Ben was complete, along with a glass-walled extension known as Ware, which was used for activities such as talent show practice. South Ben underwent similar construction in 2008, and the RAs made light of the lost Frisbees by basing a carnival off finding a double agent who was throwing Frisbees into the construction site.<br />
<br />
The issue of laundry is huge. In the Bens,it could take up to 4 hours to get a washer and an additional 2 hours to get a dryer. This resulted in many people skipping laundry day. The smell from the laundry room in Weis made at least two people feel sick in 17.1. Another thing about laundry is even if it seems like a good idea to do laundry at 2 AM because you forgot or because there aren't any lines, don't. This resulted in being banned from attending the end of the last dance. Moral of this story is to bring enough clothing to last all three weeks. Don't do laundry. Just don't. <br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/north-south-ben-franklin-hall South Ben]====<br />
<br />
South Ben is divided into four houses: Atlee, Dubbs, Klein, and Kunkel. These four houses each have three floors, except for Kunkel, which only has 2.<br />
<br />
'''Balconies''': During 06.1, someone climbed from the second floor balcony down to the first floor, which angered the Site Director and led him to close the balconies for Session 2. People also dropped things off the balconies, such as fobs, cookies, and kickballs (it was a hall bonding activity), which is now a violation of the rules. Despite this, balconies reopened for 2007 and remained open, despite one student climbing out a window onto a locked balcony and other miscellaneous rule-breaking. All balconies were off-limits in 2011. In 2012, the balconies were taken down.<br />
<br />
'''Atlee/Dubbs''': Atlee/Dubbs 2nd is one of the most popular lounges on campus due to its many couches and ample space. It is the setting of many fun stories of many couch orgies. The historic twenty-person couch orgy was held there using the two couches (a two-person couch and a three-person couch). "CTY '92, capturing the hearts of many by Kodak color film" is carved into a windowsill in this lounge. The third floor lounge was recently remade into what looks like a '50s diner, complete with shiny plastic booths and blatant coke advertisements on the walls, making it a popular hangout location.<br />
<br />
'''Klein/Kunkel''': The Klein/Kunkel lounges tend to see less traffic than the Atlee/Dubbs lounges.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/dietz-hall Dietz]====<br />
<br />
Dietz is a dormitory that is only used when other dorms are under construction and unable to be used. It is inconveniently located in a secluded area across Hartman Green. The last time it was used was 2004 when [[First Dietz]] was formed. Dietz was also used for intersession 2017.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/north-south-ben-franklin-hall North Ben]====<br />
<br />
North Ben is divided into four halls: Muhlenburg, Mull, Rauch, and Shaeffer. While the lounges located on each floor in each hall have been used heavily in the past, they are no longer co-ed and rarely used for activities.<br />
<br />
As an unfortunate sidenote, beginning in 09.1, there are very few, if any at all, microwaves in North Ben. This is because the kitchens mysteriously disappeared after 2008 due to F&M over-enrolling and needing to make more rooms. As of 2015, there was only one microwave on each floor, though they are not generally in use.<br />
<br />
The basement of North Ben has a semi-soundproof chamber with an awfully out-of-tune piano in it and a nice lounge with a library that you may or may not be allowed to use.<br />
<br />
During 15.1, South Ben was under construction. North Ben was a girls' dorm. This living situation gave birth to a new CTY disease, the Bens. The Bens were eerily similar to the Schnades.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/north-south-schnader-hall Schnader]====<br />
<br />
Schnader is most well-known for its first-floor co-ed lounge which has conveniences such as couches, chairs, tables, and the like. There is a large television in the lounge, but it is not usually on (or able to be turned on). The lounge is popular because of its large size, and because the furniture is nicer than that of any other lounge. There is also a small alcove across the hall from the lounge which holds two smaller couches and a coffee table. This space is usually used by anyone looking for a quieter atmosphere in which they can have private conversations. The Schnader 1 lounge is usually used for informal activities such as card games and lounging, but some official activity sessions are held there when it rains. Recently, all other Schnader lounges have been single sex only.<br />
<br />
Schnader 1 lounge is encased in glass and overlooks Schnader's exceptionally large porch. This porch is also commonly used as a meeting point, especially during [[Quad Time]]. It is also the site of the Passing of the [[Duck]].<br />
<br />
Schnader was extremely humid, especially in the basement, and in 07.2, the damp climate in Schnader caused many students to develop a cold which became known as "[[The Schnade]]" or "Schnades." This quickly spread to the rest of campus. Despite the obvious and visible mold (one girl found a covering of mold in her trashcan that was over an inch thick) in the Schnader showers and dorms, no staff member has admitted mold as a possibly culprit. The (known) symptoms of the Schnade include a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, coughing up blood, vomiting, a bad sore throat, and a bad British accent. Cases of pinkeye, pneumonia, chicken pox, sinus infections, and insomnia among the student body have also been attributed to the Schnade. However, in 2011, Schander was reportedly cleaned of most mold. In an effort to preserve this moldless state, air conditioners in all the rooms had to be kept on almost all the time, making the building pretty cold.<br />
<br />
During 11.2, there was an ant outbreak in Schnader, promoting students to clean their floors so staff could make inspections of their dorms. And during 12.1, there was a cockroach infestation.<br />
<br />
In 13.2, several rooms in one hall on the second floor were colonized with mold. As a result, the students were relocated to Weis hall for one night while the mold was removed.<br />
<br />
Schnader was not in use during 14.1 or 14.2 because the soccer camp was occupying it. However there is speculation that this might be the result of the Schnader basement shenanigans that happened during 13.2. In replacement, Weis was used as a hall for CTY. <br />
<br />
Schnader was closed during 17.1 due to construction.<br />
<br />
Many cases of the Schnade, or something similar, surfaced during 16.2. On the second floor, there was a black mold outbreak in one of the air conditioners. In the same room, one of the springs in the mattress broke, breaking the bed frame, and was temporarily fixed with pink duct tape borrowed from the nomores in Viv's Hall.<br />
<br />
In 2017, Schnader was being renovated because of the black mold and other issues (Oh sure, NOW they fix that - a former CTYer). The building was not used by CTY. However, it was used by a music camp early in the session. Let's pray to the poor, unfortunate souls who were in there this year.<br />
<br />
During 18.1, Schnader was not in use by CTY, however the basement was used for two nights of intersession accommodations. Despite the previous year’s remodeling, slight mold smells we’re still present and insects ran rampant.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/thomas-hall Thomas]====<br />
<br />
Thomas alternates between being a student dorm and a staff dorm; the presence of the administration office also seems to vary. In recent years, Thomas has housed both administration and students. It has a downstairs co-ed lounge which contains a collection of furniture. This lounge previously hosted the Passing of the [[Duck]], but this event has been moved to Schnader.<br />
<br />
The dorms in Thomas are organized into suites with accompanying lounges. Both double and single rooms branch off of these lounges, and there are typically three rooms per suite. These lounges are excellent for sleepovers and fort-building, such as the aptly named Fort Homoerotica in 2nd Thomas. In 06.2, [[Passionfruit]] Juice was kept chilled in an empty room on 2nd Thomas.<br />
<br />
Thomas was under construction during 17.1 and 17.2 and was not used by CTY.<br />
<br />
Thomas reopened in 18.1 and was an all boys dorm. Mainly single rooms with suites. 3-4 rooms per suite. The doors to the dorms have a large 1.5inch gap between the floor and the bottom of the door, allowing RAs to see light easily AND hear noise.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/conferences-events/summer-camps/marshall-buchanan-hall Marshall/Buchanan]====<br />
<br />
Marshall/Buchanan, often referred to as Marshall/Buch, is the hall on the south end of the residential quad. Its front side faces out onto the quad towards Weis, while to its rear is Buchanan Park(which is owned by the City of Lancaster, not F&M). The Franklin and Marshall Public Safety offices are located on the first floor of Marshall/Buch. It is not a residential hall.<br />
<br />
====[https://www.fandm.edu/weis-house Weis]====<br />
Weis is located on the north end of the quad. It often houses the staff, but was an all-girls' hall in 17.1 due to Schnader and Thomas being under construction. It was co-ed in 17.2. The health office was also located in Weis in 2017. <br />
<br />
Most rooms are doubles, and there are some singles. There are also suite rooms with couches, tables and chairs with one double room and two singles branching off. The suites are convenient for sleepovers. There is a water bottle filling station and plenty of microwaves.<br />
<br />
===Classrooms===<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/stager-hall Stager Hall]====<br />
<br />
Stager (pronounced Stay-grr, with a hard g) is an academic building at F&M with three floors and a basement. Many humanities classes meet here, and it is usually where the first rounds of the [[Quiz Bowl]] meet. Furthermore, activities such as chess tournaments, card and board games, and debate frequently meet here. Its facade is largely composed of glass, and many believe it looks a lot like a frog from far away! Stager's frogginess has earned it a variation of the "[[Wanna buy a duck?]]" game.<br />
<br />
Stager is conveniently located near Jazzman's and the Bookstore. Classes occasionally use their breaks to buy stuff there. Thus, it is possible for a Stager class taking a break to see members of a class from another building that are using their break to buy smoothies.<br />
<br />
In front of Stager Hall is the [http://library.fandm.edu/archives/collegearc/chesapeake.jpg Chesapeake], a great place to sit or climb during class breaks. The sculpture, made of stone and steel, was created by California artist [http://www.sculpture.org/portfolio/sculptorPage.php?sculptor_id=1000073 Woods Davy] and installed at F&M in 1985. It is often referred to as "Sticks and Stones".<br />
<br />
This building was originally called Stahr (pronounced like stair) Hall, until someone named Stager donated more money around 90 or so. Some of the old timers insisted on continuing to call it Stahr, or Stahr-with-a-silent-G.<br />
<br />
====Keiper Hall====<br />
<br />
Some math classes are held here, including the ever-popular Lancasterian favorite, Number Theory (previously taught by [[Pomm and Timmer]]). The desks in the classrooms of this building are really fun and colorful. Not only do thy swivel and roll around, but they come with a moveable cup holder and an under-the-seat tray to stash your belongings. The tops of the chairs also lean back. These are wonderful desks.<br />
<br />
Many writing courses are also taught in Keiper.<br />
<br />
On one of the rear exterior walls at the basement level there is a poem in some kind of orange chalk or paint pen (that was there from at least '88-93) that read as follows: <br><br />
<br />
War, he sang, is toil and trouble <br><br />
Honor but an empty bubble <br><br />
Never ending, still beginning <br><br />
fighting still and still destroying. <br><br />
So if this world be worth the winning <br><br />
think, oh think it worth enjoying <br><br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/martin-library-of-the-sciences Martin Library of the Sciences]====<br />
<br />
A more secluded building is the Martin Library of the Sciences, whose basement computer lab houses [[FCPS]].<br />
<br />
If your class is lucky enough to visit the MLS, it will usually take 1-2 hours for students to find a book. There are 3 levels. One where the computers are for you to look up your book, and two upper levels for you to find your book. Your TA will most likely be by the librarian waiting for you to check out your book and your teacher will be helping you find your book. With over 10 kids in a class and only one real supervisor, most CTY-ers choose to play "ninja," look up "not G-rated" material (it is a science library), or make out within the many shelves.<br />
<br />
====Other classroom buildings====<br />
<br />
Several science classes are taught in Fackenthal and Hackman Laboratories, which are two buildings between the residential quad and Mayser Gym. Fackenthal is connected to Kaufman Lecture Hall, which is often the venue for movie showings, especially when it rains during activity periods. The Life Sciences and Philosophy building, located behind Thomas and next to Weis Field, has been used for science classes occasionally in the past (HDIS.A in 2008). INBS A and B, BIOL.A, and THEO.A were held here in 17.1.<br />
<br />
Also, in 2008-9 HDIS.B used the Appel Infirmary, the F&M nurses office which containes 2 classrooms, and is located on Hartman Green.<br />
<br />
Students who take classes in any of the science buildings tend to miss out on a certain sense of community shared by Stager/Keiper students, who enjoy a communal break time spent on the steps outside Stager, on the benches in front of Keiper, and sometimes on the quad beyond. To be fair, however, Stager and Keiper students have to deal with making the comparatively lengthy (0.2-mile), parade-like trek from their buildings to the dining hall and back six times a day.<br />
<br />
During 16.1, multiple classes such as Ancient Greek, Crypto, and Advanced Robotics were located in the Shadek-Fackenthal library, located past Stager in the corner of campus.<br />
<br />
===Other Parts of Campus===<br />
<br />
====Arches====<br />
<br />
In front of the Dining Hall, there are a series of brick arches which provide support and protection from the elements. Many [[activities]], especially those involving crafts, are held here. According to [[Adam Roush]], two CTYers who met on the right side of the Arches (when looking at them from outside) in the 1980's eventually married, which is why the weekend Marriage Booth is always placed on the right side of the Arches.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/alumni-sports-fitness-center ASFC]====<br />
<br />
The ASFC (Alumni Sports & Fitness Center), sometimes affectionately known by its profane, phonetical pronunciation (or in some cases, Butt Sex), is a gym on F&M's campus which CTY students may use. Activities such as Swimming are held here. Most dances, at least in session 2, except for the first one, are held here.<br />
<br />
In the past, if it rained on a Friday or Saturday, the [[dance]] would be moved from the residential Quad in front of the dining hall to here. As terrible as this is, students generally come to a consenus that the ASFC is vastly superior to the Mayser Gym (due to increased ventilation), where rained-out dances have very occasionally been held when the ASFC is being used by craft festivals. Indoor dances are also less prone to dirt-dust being kicked up during songs that involve kicking. The ASFC is also generally the site of beginning-of-session registration, opening ceremonies, the talent show and closing ceremonies/parent conferences.<br />
<br />
In 2004, the dining hall was being renovated, so CTYers had to eat all three meals in the ASFC. Further indignity was heaped on the students when, during the second week of the Second Session, a crafts fair was held in the ASFC, forcing the meals to be held in a circus tent on Weis Field. "The Big Top," as it was affectionately known by the administration, was almost universally reviled for its heat, lack of space, and implication that CTYers were like barnyard animals who were merely there to be led to the trough.<br />
<br />
During 07.1, the very first dance was "rained" out and held at the ASFC. The next week, the RAs ran a survey by their kids to see if half the remaining dances could be held in the ASFC. A majority voted "yes," so for the rest of that session, the Friday dances were held in the ASFC. This, luckily, has not continued. However, in 08.1, the first two dances were held in the ASFC, and after the third dance, which was held outside, it was decided by the administration and the Health Office that the fourth dance would be held inside "because of the heat." RAs had to move the large stuffed chair that was to be used for the Rocky Horror performance that night from South Ben to the ASFC in an SUV. It was much hotter and far more humid in the gym than it was outside and several students and staff became ill from the heat. The final dance was held outside. In 09.1, all but the second and third dances were in the ASFC, much to the chagrin of those who wanted the last dance outside. It NEVER rained during the dances of 09.1, whether they were inside or out. In 09.2, all dances except the final one were in the ASFC. During 11.2 ALL dances were held in the ASFC. This was almost true in 15.2 (first was outdoors) and is considered normal.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map?show=hartman-green Hartman Green]====<br />
<br />
Hartman Green is a (usually) grassy area on the Franklin & Marshall campus. Oftentimes, due to the summer heat and lack of sufficient watering, the grass turns brown. Such an occurrence has been known to cause CTY staff and students to affectionately call the location "Hartman Brown" for the remainder of the summer. Other times, the Green and the accompanying sidewalk are dug up to relay piping, but the area has never been called "Hartman Piping" or "Hartman Hole." It is a popular location for classes to hold breaks and includes numerous walkways for students with bad aim to throw Frisbees over (though doing this will usually get said Frisbee confiscated). Hartman is also the site of the Passionfruit and the [[Electric Tree]], a tree with a power socket installed near the base of the trunk. As of 17:1, Frisbees were banned in the area, though Frisbees are legal again in Hartman Green as of 18.1.<br />
<br />
The mailroom is also located just off of Hartman Green.<br />
<br />
At the LAN.05.2 closing ceremony, the [[History of Disease]] and [[Archaeology]] classes performed a skit titled "The Excavation and Disease Control of Hartman Green."<br />
<br />
====Jazzman's====<br />
<br />
Jazzman's is a coffee shop located below the bookstore, right outside of Stager Hall. Most Instructors will take their students to Jazzman's or the Steinman Center coffee shop at least once per session. However, it is no longer open to students as of 10.1. Teachers still partake, however.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/mayser-physical-education-center Mayser Gym]====<br />
<br />
The other gym that CTYers use besides the ASFC is Mayser Gym. Those who sign up for [[basketball]], volleyball, and some other sports for [[activities]] will go here. Occasionally, if a dance is rained out, it will be held here, but only if the ASFC is unavailable.<br />
<br />
Due to a near-total lack of ventilation and the requirement that students remove their shoes before taking the dance floor, Mayser is the worst possible dance location. Because of this, a callback in its dishonor was created and added to the end of [[Sweet Transvestite]] on the [[Second Saturday]], although it has largely fallen out of use.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.fandm.edu/map/steinman-college-center Steinman Center]====<br />
<br />
Steinman Center is home to the mailroom, however as of 12.1 it has ceased to be accessed by the students. Instead, one will typically find his/her RA to go down there to fetch their mail for them once every couple of days. The building is also host to a coffee shop almost identical to Jazzman's. The large rooms upstairs have hosted indoor tournaments in the past, such as the Super Poker Tournamoker in 05.2, and Swing Dancing! classes.<br />
<br />
====Weis Field====<br />
<br />
Weis Field is a large field behind Weis Hall where most of the sports activities and sports tournaments take place. Various classes have been known to go there to conduct experiments that were not safe for the classroom.<br />
<br />
===Other Non-Parts of Campus===<br />
<br />
Students at Lancaster generally only leave the F&M campus to go to three locations: [[Turkey Hill]], the sacred store; the [[Farmers Market]], actually Central Market, where fresh foods, fudge, and collectibles can be purchased; and Angry, Young and Poor (AYP), the world-renowned punk store.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.turkeyhillstores.com/default.asp Turkey Hill]====<br />
<br />
:''Main article: [[Turkey Hill]]<br />
<br />
Turkey Hill is a convenience store and gas station located, very conveniently, only a few steps off of campus from Weis Field. Students can go there to buy snacks, ice cream, and drinks. They can also go there to not buy condoms, which are contraband. Turkey Hill is referenced in "[[American Pie]]" in a callback to the line "I went down to the sacred store." It is where students go each year to purchase drinks for the [[Passionfruit]].<br />
<br />
====[http://www.centralmarketlancaster.com/ Farmers Market]====<br />
<br />
:''Main article: [[Farmers Market]]<br />
<br />
The Farmers Market is known to real Lancaster residents as Central Market; to call it the Farmers Market is to be a tourist, but it is also to be a CTYer. Students generally sign up on Fridays during the dance to go on trips to the Farmers Market the following Saturday. There, after a twenty minute trek, students can purchase fresh fruits, bagels, fudge, novelty signs, pastries, and various other country goodies. Unfortunately, the fudge cannot be brought back on campus because of suspected traces of nuts.<br />
<br />
====[http://www.angryyoungandpoor.com/store/pc/home.asp Angry, Young and Poor]====<br />
<br />
Angry, Young and Poor, very commonly abbreviated AYP, is the world's bestselling punk store. It is headquartered and located solely in downtown Lancaster; it gains its esteem from its sales on the Internet. AYP is traditionally a stop along the way back from the Farmers Market on Saturdays. Only the later trips (10:00 and 10:30) stop at AYP, because it tends to open quite late. Favorite products at AYP include hairdye, various studs, belts, hairdye, boots, hairdye, leopard print pants, skirts, hairdye, makeup, hairdye, and hairdye. Students often stop here early on Second Saturday to stock up on makeup, clothing, and especially on hairdye.<br />
AYP has a system known as Punk Rock Points, in which the price of each item bought is equivalent to a number of Punk Rock Points, which can be used toward future online purchases. AYP also sells band T-shirts (AC/DC, The Cure, Blondie, ect.), posters, guitar picks, and leather pants.<br />
<br />
It has been mistaken for an antique store. True story.<br />
<br />
==Food==<br />
<br />
All students eat in the central cafeteria on campus. There are four lines and four dining rooms. See [[Alcove]] and [[LLRT]] for information on the groups associated with specific areas of the dining halls.<br />
<br />
The features of the cafeteria include:<br />
<br />
# Dining Room 1<br />
#* KIVO (Kosher, International, Vegetarian/Vegan, and Organic)<br />
# Dining Room 2<br />
#* Main Line (standard style dorm food, usually meat, veggies, with rice/mashed potatoes, sometimes stir fry)<br />
#* Vegetarian Line<br />
#* Soup/Salad Bar<br />
# Entrance Area<br />
#* Drink Machines<br />
#* Fruit Table<br />
#*Desserts<br />
# Dining Room 3<br />
#* My Zone (Gluten free items)<br />
#* Kite and Key Grill (burgers, fries, etc.)<br />
#* Café Verde (Pizza Station)<br />
#* Soft Serve Machine<br />
#* Cereal<br />
#* Microwave<br />
<br />
<br />
Lancaster is the only peanut-free CTY site. The staff and most of the student body take this very seriously, as an atypically large percentage of the population has peanut allergies.<br />
<br />
As of 18.1, Lancaster has become notorious for its “god awful” and “wack” foods, especially the Asian and cultured food items. The dining hall has seen better days.<br />
===Dining Hall===<br />
<br />
The Dining Hall once consisted of four main dining rooms. Dining Room 4 was synonymous with the Land of the Large Round Tables, where the acronymous student group [[LLRT]] resided. In 2004, however, the facilities were renovated, and students were forced to trek across the footbridge (that no longer exists) for meals at the Alumni Sports & Fitness Center.<br />
<br />
As of 2004, only three main dining rooms remain in the F&M Dining Hall, in addition to the main entrance area, thus totaling four rooms. The room immediately to the left and right of the entrance (Dining Rooms 2 and 3, respectively) is where food is served, as well as where many students sit. Dining Room 4, two rooms to the right, has been converted into a special-events dining room and is not accessible from the regular dining hall and is thus not counted in the dining room totals. An exception to this general policy occurred during the [[Last Supper]] in 2007 and 2008, when Site Directors [[Brian Bloomfield]] and Debbie (respectively) opened the room for the event.<br />
<br />
Dining Room 1, two rooms to the left of the entrance room, is the location of the [[Alcove]], as well as Teh Corner and The Booth, two very nice corner booths, and as a smattering of tables. In 2007.2, this area was closed off, along with the beloved Alcove, for Kosherization. The Alcove relocated to a corner of Dining Room 2. In 2008, however, Dining Room 1 was reopened, along with its various protrusions. Dining Room 1 is now the home of KIVO and was only open for lunch and dinner on weekdays (except for Friday dinner) in 2008, but as of 2009 is open all the time and serves breakfast as well.<br />
<br />
In 2009, Dining Room 4, a.k.a. the LLRT, was reopened for student use. While open to CTYers in 10.1, it was reserved for other camps in 10.2 as well as in 2011 and then on.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Lancaster is one of the oldest CTY sites, and as such, has some of the oldest and richest traditions. Although the first OTID (Office of Talent Identification and Development, a former name for CTY) summer program was held at [[St. Mary's]] College in 1981 (1980, by other sources), it was held at Lancaster and [[Carlisle]] in the following year, and they both have been running ever since. After the early closing of Carlisle due to the H1N1 "Swine" flu in 2009, Lancaster is now the oldest continuously running CTY site . The site director Debbie proudly pointed this out in her speech during closing ceremonies.<br />
<br />
Throughout most of its history, Lancaster has been the largest site at CTY, hosting over 500 students each session. Until the early-1990s, Lancaster's many courses were organized into five colleges: Humanities (e.g. Logic & Rhetoric, Latin, etc.); Maryland Academy of Sciences (e.g. Astronomy, Marine Ecology, etc.); Pre-Calculus Mathematics; Fast-Paced AP Biology, Chemistry & Physics; and Advanced Math, Computer Science & Misc. Each college was partly autonomous, with its own graduation ceremony, and, starting in 1987, its own t-shirts. Since then, the academic organization has been streamlined into three subject areas (Humanities/Writing, Math/Computer Science, and Science) with a single graduation ceremony and no t-shirts.<br />
<br />
Because of its size and age, Lancaster has seen numerous student groups and traditions arise; some of these can be seen above.<br />
<br />
==Courses Offered==<br />
<br />
:''Main page: [[Courses]]''<br />
<br />
Lancaster has had traditionally been a hotspot for math and science courses. It is the only site to offer [[Number Theory]], [[Theory of Computation]], [[Data Structures and Algorithms]], [[Selected Topics in Advanced Biology]], and [[Selected Topics in Advanced Chemistry]]. Lancaster is one of two sites to offer [[History of Disease]], [[Archaeology]], and [[Paleobiology]]. In 2001, it was the first site to offer [[Cryptology]], and in 2010 the first to offer [[Advanced Cryptology]]. Lancaster also offers [[Fundamentals of Computer Science]]. Lancaster also has some strong humanities offerings, such as [[Ancient Greek]], though it lacks the breadth of [[Carlisle]] in this regard.<br />
<br />
==Students==<br />
<br />
When adding to the list, please try to keep it ordered by nomore year, and sub-ordered by number of years attended. Please only use site names to indicate years spent at sites '''other''' than Lancaster (LAN). Please only report years that you have been in attendance for - not what you plan to be at.<br />

==Miscellaneous==<br />
===Wildlife===<br />
On rare occasion, bunnies can be found in the bushes at night. (Update: In 14.1, bunnies were seen multiple times in the daylight on Hartman Green. This was also true in 2015.) (Update: In 17.1, bunnies were seen on Weis Field during breaks.) They are spotted by students (legally) during the return march from a weekend dance. Fireflies too abound on the edges of the quad at night and can be seen when returning from dances. If you are fortunate, you can spy one of the nesting pair of red-tailed hawks perched on the tall tree between Thomas and Schnader on the path leading to Hartman Green. The hawks are also often seen while on Weis Field. (Update: In 17.1 A Hawk was sighted on the quad on a tree in front of fenced off Thomas [unfortunately eating a squirrel or rabbit] while waiting for night class on Wednesday, June 28). Additionally, there are squirrels everywhere, leading to much confusion over whether one is talking about a squirrel or a squirrel. This often leads to people saying things like, "hey look, a new student running up a tree!" As of 18.1, the wild squirrels have become an integral part of the community, having been seen at 6:30 AM in a group of at least a dozen around the big tree in front of Thomas in a well organized circle, perhaps having a meeting or some sort of ritual. [https://photos.app.goo.gl/oVE5KBBiKJZqELgB6 (Photo of Squirrel in Thomas Tree)]They are often seen eating food dropped by CTY'ers and are the most prominent species. MIND.LAN.18.1 discovered abandoned baby house sparrows in a fallen nest during break, and were devastated to have to see them both die. [https://photos.app.goo.gl/LGsUgvSfw1kTBnpq5 Photo of final surviving bird the day before its death.]<br />

<div>Hello peoples! This is Avery Lamprecht. I’m really awkward around people and I like to draw and write, among other things. I am also clearly the strongest student at Lancaster. That is, if you exclude basically everyone there. I’m also boring and don’t really have that many hobbies- I can’t play any instruments, don’t do any sports, etc. For a person who loves writing, I have taken a low number of writing courses, but whatever. I plan to double session as much as possible. I am also wonderful at spellling.<br />
