Arches
In front of the Dining Hall, between North and South Ben, there are a series of brick arches. These arches provide support for an outdoor walkway with protection from the elements. Many activities, especially those involving crafts, are held here, including many of those related to the weekend Carnival.
When it began to rain roughly an hour into Passionfruit during 2000, session 1, it was decided that the activity was to continue under the South Ben arches. The once-circle became quite elongated as everyone crammed under the overhang, keeping out of the rain.
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 (Actually true story, the bride is now an English teacher at NCS in Washington.)
ASFC
The ASFC (short for "Alumni Sports & Fitness Center"; officially pronounced "ay-ess-eff-see" and affectionately known as the "ass-fuck") is a gym on F&M's campus which CTY students may utilize. Activities such as swimming are held here. If it rains on a Friday or Saturday, the dance will be moved from the residential Quad in front of the dining hall to here. As terrible as this is, it is felt by students that the ASFC is vastly superior to the Mayser Gym (due to increased ventilation) where rained-out dances have very occasionally been held. The ASFC is also generally the site of beginning-of-session registration, opening ceremonies, the talent show and closing ceremonies/parent conferences.
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.
Dining Hall
Hartman Green
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 occurrance has been known to cause CTY staff and students to affectionately call the location "Hartman Brown" for the remainder of the summer. 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.
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."
Keiper Hall
At least some math classes are held here, including the ever-popular nomore and nevermore course, Number Theory (taught by the famous instructors Birdie and Tortoise session 1 and Pomm and Timmer session 2).
Many writing courses are also generally taught in Keiper.
Marshall/Buchanan
In 06.2, this hall was home to Rosie Brown, Beans, Iggy, Jeremy Cockerham, Gavin Cook, Zeke Weiner, Max Wang, and others. Nothing much happened here except for the entirety of marshall second watching Jeremy hit himself in the crotch with glowsticks. Se Duelen.
In 05.2 there was one boy's hall in Buchanan basement, an icky, icky hall which was being cleaned with poisonous gases. Eli Petzold was one of the unfortunate "basement rats" in there.
Also in 05.2, Michael Nixon, Zeke Weiner and Will Steinberg, among others, resided on Marshall 3.
Mayser Gym
The other gym that CTYers use besides the ASFC. Those who sign up for basketball, volleyball, and some other sports for activities will go here. Occassionally, if a dance is rained out, it will be held here; this is usually due to a State Crafts Fair that is held at F&M in the ASFC.
Due to a near-total lack of ventilation, Mayser is the worst possible dance location. Because of this, a new callback has been, by some, added to the end of Sweet Transvestite on Second Saturday.
Schnader
Most well known for its first floor co-ed lounge which has conveniences such as couches, chairs, tables, and the like. Usually used for activities such as card games, etc. The other lounges are also used for various activities. Site of the Passing of the Duck. Incredibly humid building, especially in the basement.
South Ben
It's a great place to hang out, with coed lounges, and until 06.1, balconies. Apparently, someone climbed from the second story to the first one, which angered the admin and forced them 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).
Atlee/Dubbs
Great couch on the 2nd lounge. Many fun stories and many fun couch orgies. The historic 20-person-couch-orgy was held there using the 2 couches (2 person couch and 3 person couch.
It is also been foreseen into the future that Christ and Rachel will be naked on a couch here with a cow.
Also on the second floor lounge, "CTY '92, capturing the hearts of many by Kodak color film" is carved in a windowsill.
-also on Atlee 2, Yulia said "Hey Frank!" and made a bunch of people stop making out. meanie.
Kunkel/Klein
Stager Hall
Stager (pronounced Stay-grr, with a hard g) is an academic building at F&M with three floors plus a basement. Many humanities classes meet here, and it is usually where the first rounds of Quiz Bowl meet. Furthermore, activities such as card games, 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!
Also it can turn into a super robot if the need arises. STAGERIZEEEE!
Steinman Center
Home to the mailroom, the man with a man with a man with a man for a face for a face for a face, the man with a man with a man for a face for a face, the man with a man for a face, and the man, in addition to "Hey Bighead!"
Thomas
The first floor of Thomas has the various offices and very nice furniture which was installed in 06.2.
The dorms in Thomas are suites with lounges. There are double and single rooms off of these lounges. The 06.2 Passionfruit Juice was kept chilled in an empty room on 2nd Thomas.
Second Thomas was also home to Fort Homoerotica...'nough said.
Weis Field
This is a large field behind Weis Hall where most of the sports activities and sports tournaments take place. Various classes have been known to conduct experiments there which were not as safe to conduct within the confines of a classroom.
