2005.1

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? 2009.1 Shira's Hall also made an epic hot wall, using magazines brought by hall members and tacky purchased magazines from CVS like Tiger Beat and J-14. This Hot Wall was filled with pictures and posters of hot guys such as Taylor Lautner and Lucas Till. 2010.1 Sadly, the members of Shira's Hall failed her and had a terrible Hott Wall compared to last year. There were pictures of Sue Sylvester from Glee and cats.

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.

BP

"In the event of a BP oil spill, (drowned by applause) how long does it take to get to the top of Jonsson Tower?"- Young Guang

"Well I can tell you that if it does get up here, you're gonna need Noah's Ark"- security guy

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. Also if you say "don't" while making a gun motion at the same time a person gens you, it's considered a point for yourself. Keep in mind, you must always be honest about when you've been gensed, man up, and take on to the crotch. Also, when gensing girls, you may also say "vagines". We strongly encourage the gensing of T.A.'s, R.A's, and any random kid you like or dislike. 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 whom were aware of the game.

Shaggy Parties

Mr. Boombastic

It Wasn't Me

Hot Shot (add more)

Before and after every dance, it happened, and it was beautiful.

Nuclear Barrel Roll

On July 7th, Harry Brennan blasted "Do A Barrel Roll" through the vents on Wilmarth Two, and successfully barrel rolled Wilmarth floors three and one for twenty minutes. After that, he blasted "The Count Song: Censored" through the vents, not once, but FIVE times.

Wavin' Flag

On the second night of the Marc-Dave Prank War, the gentlemen on the first floor tore off their shirts and ran around Wilmarth singing Wavin' Flag while twirling their shirts above their heads.

The Bleached Wall

During one fine evening emperor-to-be Aaron Wan was tapping his pen on the wall of his hall on the 2nd floor, when it spontaneously exploded. The spot became saturated with blue ink in at least two locations near the normal papers hung up in a hall. He and some hallmates covered up the marks with two hastily made posters saying "Dave Grimes is awesome". For the following nights numerous attempts were made to scrub the ink off the wall. At first bleach was used with success but could not cover all of the stains, and efforts were made to find more bleach. Since they could not procure the bleach, they resorted to using bug spray and the results of that were spectacular, there is now absolutely no trace of the explosion. So the next time you accidentally blow up a pen, try bleach and bug spray.

Entering Jonsson Tower

On the very last day at breakfast, a group of Nevermores was trying to figure out exactly when and how they were going to infiltrate Jonsson Tower and attempt to break the standing record from Session 2 of the previous year. On a whim, they decided that they might as well just do it right then and there, as Passionfruit was already over and the administration really had nothing left to threaten them with. However, when this group of Nevermores made their way over to Jonsson Tower, they realized that they had no way of entering the building. As they stood outside perplexed, Nevermore Avery Stonefish had the genius of idea of simply swiping his card. Surprisingly, this caused the door to unlock. Apparently, Howe-Rounds access cards work on Jonsson Tower. Thanks to Stonefish's genius, Emperor Young Guang was able to smash all records by making it to the top in 41.23 seconds.

Wavin' Flag

On the second night of the Marc-Dave Prank War, the gentlemen on the first floor tore off their shirts and ran around Wilmarth singing Wavin' Flag while twirling their shirts above their heads.
