| − | 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, usually in Schnader first-floor lounge; 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 written by Andromeda Yelton. 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 logician's 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, its 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."
