| − | | + | #REDIRECT [[Trinity (Session 2)#The Holder of the Duck]] |
| − | The Duck is, just like it sounds, a duck. It is a small stuffed animal with a tan body, green face, yellow nose, and a cute little checkered detective hat, manufactured by DAKIN in 1990. The Duck has great meaning to second session CTY. Each last Wednesday of second session, the Duck is passed from a nomore to a one-more, the one more then returns the following year as a nomore to pass the Duck on. The Duck has become a symbol of leadership and knowledge concerning the traditions and the ways of CTY Lancaster.

| − | The Legend of the Duck is the story of how the tradition began, as narrated by the progenitors of the tradition. The Legend of the Duck is as follows:

| − | "ONCE, there were logicians. Not just any logicians, these, but the logicians of CTY Lancaster, Session 2, 1991. The logicians of Dubbs 2.
| |
| − | And in addition to these were their friends from Atlee 2 and other random parts of campus.
| |
| − | These logicians and their friends from Atlee 2 and elsewhere were drawn by many bonds, and among these was one of particular relevance here, a love of Monty Python.
| |
| − | And so they spent many happy hours in the DA2 lounge listening to Monty Python skits. A great favorite was the scene from the Holy Grail in which Arthur stumbles upon a witch-burning. Also beloved, naturally, was the logicians analysis of this scene.
| |
| − | One day, a brilliant idea came upon some one logician, and that was: to perform this scene and analysis at the CTY Talent Show.
| |
| − | With great enthusiasm, the population of DA2 poured themselves into this enterprise. They had the energy, the talent, the ambition. But there was one thing missing.
| |
| − | A DUCK.
| |
| − | And so two logicians traveled to the hallowed Park City Mall and purchased--a duck.
| |
| − | As it happened, the Monty Python skit did not cause the talent show committee great rejoicing. The skit passed quietly away into the sands of history, it's members scattered far and wide, its scripts dispersed to the four winds.
| |
| − | But still the duck remained
| |
| − | And since that time it has been kept and cherished by a Holder of the Duck, who each year passes it on to some duckworthy person of Lancaster second session. From the first Holder of the Duck, until the present day, and onward into forever."
