The Hott Wall

In 2005.1, the hott wall 1 was created by two girls Audrey Kohler and Rachel Dentinger in their room, as a bonding experience after buying corny magazines in CVS during first town trip.

In 2006.1, they were conveniently roommates again, by coincidence, and they decided to create the hott wall 2.

In 2007.1, the girls were not roommates, so they decided to bring the hott wall 3 in the hallway. Their superawesome RA Erika AKA E did not exactly get permission from evil Tim, but she looked the other way when her entire hall and then some of Jae's girls came to build it. Pictures got put into the slide show and the Howe girls were all quiteeee familiar with it. 2008.1, Hott Wall 4 was constructed in Shira's hall, and the idea to start it was mostly Miryam Coppersmith's. It was quite large and epic, but a certain hall that shall not be named started their own, much smaller hott wall, and actually stole a few pictures from the original wall. These pictures were eventually returned. Unfortunately, the Hott Wall was not as well publicised as its predecessor. 2009.1: Shall the Hott Wall continue?

I think the Hott Wall is an awesome tradition and it will be kept alive, if I can help it. For nevermores, the hot doesn't end at CTY. My sister's college dorm has a kick-ass hot wall, so I encourage you to spread the Hot! Respect the wall, love the wall- Miryam

KRYP's story

During the talent show KRYP (spelt with a backwards r) a.k.a. Dave, along with some other Nevermores, were presenting the acts. For one act, KRYP was alloted some "creative liberty" so he decided to tell a story. He told a (mostly true) tale about waking up one morning and finding a "crap the size of Danny Devito", which clogged the toilet and caused a pretty big dilemma for Wilmarth hall . This hysterical anecdote went on for about 15 minutes until one of the fed-up RAs turned off Dave's mic from the control booth. But this didn't faze Dave. He just put that one down and picked up the other one. A nevermore named Edison, a fellow MC, came onstage and mimed blowdarting him, telling him to get off. In response, KRYP asked the audience if they wanted him to keep going. The cheers drove Edison offstage. He kept on going until an R.A. came onstage and forcibly told him to get off. Despite the other nevermore's "shame", (Kryp went so overtime that they weren't able to perform any other funny introductions) KRYP's story is sure to be remembered for years to come. Although Tim ( a.k.a Mr. Rogers), the site director, had a complete meltdown because of the massive overuse of the word "crap" and a subtle sexual reference, he never actually put a punishment for KRYP into effect. Alas, for the enraptured Cty-ers, they never did find out how the story ended.... KRYP: Feel free to post a continuation anytime now.

Pickle Surprise

Around the middle of the first session, during dinnertime, an epic discovery was made. Lying in the middle of a table in the dining hall was what looked like a piece of human excrement. Upon further investigation, the conclusion was made that it was actually a well-constructed copy made from brownies that were served at the dining hall. Realizing this, the students that discovered the surprise brought it back to the table where they were eating to discuss what to do with it. While at the table, the brownie was christened "pickle surprise". Near the end of dinnertime, it had also been decided what was to be done with it. One student took the "pickle surprise" and put it into his pocket. Then, he went to his night session of class. However, before going into the classroom, the student snuck into the girls' bathroom, which was conveniently located in front of his classroom, and deposited the surprise into the sink. He then went back to class as usual. At about 8:50, the instructor told the class to go to the bathroom and wash their hands. When the two girls in the class walked into the bathroom, one immediately walked out, shaking her head, but not saying anything. The other girl walked in and started spazzing out about it. She was, as she put it, "scarred for life". Both girls had not realized that the "pickle surprise" was just a very good copy of the real thing. The instructor became involved, and the "pickle surprise" was removed from the sink. The identities of the plotters were not made known to the instructor. However, after the night session, the whole class knew who had done it. Long live the legendary TY, sadly a nevermore.

The author of this section claims only half involvement in the plot, although it was he who came up with the idea of putting the "pickle surprise" into the girls' bathroom sink.

Town Trip is a privilege that God took away from us

The second town trip of the session got canceled due to rain. Many Nevermores (and a few others) were driven to tears and all were very angered, since that was the trip on which they were planning to break the Vermonster record. In place of the town trip, campers were given other options (i.e. watching Night at the Museum, playing board games, or chilling out in their respective halls). This tragedy was made up for in the third week when all of the Nevermores were taken to a secret place and given all the Vermonsters that were necessary to break the record during quad time.

Bearmom

In the beginning of the session, onemore Shannon K. introduced the character of Bearmom to her Philosophy class. Bearmom has simultaneously most of the characteristics of a mother and those of a bear. Bearmom is portrayed by retracting the elbows, bending one's fingers to look like claws, and alternately moving one's forearms up and down while talking how one would imagine a bear might. Some of Bearmom's favorite phrases are: "I MADE YOU A DIXIE PLATE FOR DINNER," "I TRIED TO MAKE YOU DINNER BUT I CAN'T WORK THE OVEN," "DON'T DO YOUR HAIR LIKE THAT, IT GIVES YOU BOYFACE," "I WISH YOU WOULD TELL ME ABOUT YOUR HOBBIES; I NEVER KNOW WHAT TO GET YOU FOR CHRISTMAS," "I JUST WANT TO BE HIP!", "DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM YOUR FRIEND WITH THE NOSE RING" and "I AM DISAPPOINT." This also spread to other classes and halls, mostly to Rounds 3; Interpol and Logic B.

2010.1

The Gens Game

Introduced to Saratoga by emperor Maxwell Thomas Hengeveld. The objective of the game is to make a person flinch by saying "gens" and making a movement towards the target's crotch. Minus one point if you gens swipe, where you actually hit the other person's genitals. One of the most coveted moments is a genocide, where someone gets 4 or more people to flinch in a row. This has only been achieved 3 times, once by Max himself during a half naked half hour where he waited at the end of the hall for them to come by and gensed all of them. Reuben Matthews managed the same feat at the same time on the same people. However those two were not as legitimate as the one performed by emperor Young Guang, who while on the way to the slideshow, managed to gens 6 people, all of which whom aware of the game.
