2000's

The Tree Incident

Session(s):2008.2
Tree with rope.jpg
The rope hanging out of the tree in the aftermath.

Session 2 had at least two days where people could randomly switch around activities, called "Monday Fun Day" in week two and "Tuesday Choose Day" in week 3. At the second one, an Aerobie disc got stuck in a tree. More than 50 people were involved in trying to get it down, including several RAs and SRA Ben Vaughn. The main attempt involved the SRA standing on a chair with a pole that was fashioned out of many meter sticks connected using masking tape on a lacrosse stick. The SRA tried for more than 10 minutes trying to remove the Aerobie, without avail. There was also a long rope that someone managed to get up into the tree, which was used by a large line/crowd of people to pull/bend the tree (by about 20 degrees) closer to the pole, which was on the verge of falling apart. Eventually, the pole fell apart and the SRA gave up. All the while, people were throwing things (frisbees, shoes, balls) at the tree to shake the Aerobie off, with many of the projectiles landing into the crowd behind SRA Ben. One person threw a plastic ball up into the tree, trying to dislodge the Aerobie, but the ball became stuck as well, until the end of the session. The Aerobie and the plastic ball were stuck until (at least) the end of the session, but the rope was eventually removed.


The Gentle Slope Swamp

Session 09.2 saw a lot of rain. So much, in fact, that the Gentle Slope never completely dried once during the entire session. Each time a rainstorm ended, and the Gentle Slope began to dry, another rainstorm would come. It became a slippery, muddy, mess of...well, mud. While most kids avoided the "Gentle Swamp," a group of CTYers made a sport out of traveling across the dreaded Swamp: the first person who could slide across the mud on two feet without falling wins. This sport, dubbed "Swamp Sliding," has never been practiced since, primarily due to lack of sufficient rain.

Lady RaRa and the RARAs

Bradley, a very popular RA at JHU.10, performed in the CTY Talent Show, as Lady RaRa (as Lady Gaga, with RaRa referring to both RA and the "rah-rah" chant in the song Bad Romance) with a group of female RAs. Together they danced to Bad Romance, and at a certain point during both performances, RA Eric came out on stage with a mic and "sang" the French part of the song. In all reality, his "singing" was more of "screaming-loudly-into-the-microphone." (To those who do not know, Eric has an incomprehensible French accent, and is known for being one of the less fun-loving RAs. Thus, this whole spectacle was hilarious.)

The Wolfpack

The CTY Wolfpack at JHU 10.1 was a legendary group of students, perhaps the closest class in CTY history. From Day 1 of the session the class was chill as shit under the skill leadership of TA Lisa. The Wolfpack, made up of members of the Politics and the Middle East Class, was known around the campus as badass and incorporated several other CTYers from other classes. The Wolfpack was led by Wolf Goddess, a Patriarch, two Matriarchs, and included several badass warriors, a shaman, messengers, and even a jester (the jester was ridiculed for lying about recieving fellatio and for being a LAN Alcove Snitch). The Wolfpack was nice as shit at frisbee and survived repeated accusations of racism and sexism...but seriously who wouldn't laugh at a book called "Gyn/Ecology: A History of Militant Feminism in the Environmental Movement." Anyways, the Wolfpack was legendary for its overall BAMF-ness and for being the nicest/coolest people on campus at JHU 10.1. They permanently escaped the JHU Rape Dungeon and live on in CTY History.

The Not-So-Gentle Slope

During the 10.1 and 10.2 Talent Shows, the RAs showcased a video they had made, titled "The Not-So-Gentle Slope" (in reference to the quad outside of the dorms, called the Gentle Slope.) The video was a mystery/whodunit centered around the "murder" of Administrator "Big P" Patrick via a Frisbee to the head. RA Craig, with his assistant RA Bonnie, spends the rest of the three-part movie tracking down various "shady" RAs (such as RAs Erica, Bradley, and Patrick "Little P") in search of clues to Admin Patrick's demise. Finally, Craig puts all the pieces together and reveals the true culprit: His own assistant, Bonnie. As she is dragged off by the CTY police, Bonnie confesses and divulges her reason for killing "Big P": He kept eating all of the cookies with the Oreo pieces baked in them from the cafeteria, leaving her none.
