Charlie McGeorge, operator of PCTYD, came up with the idea of collecting anything that CTYers write or record during CTY.  In other words, if you journal or write anything or sketch anything while at CTY, please keep it.  It'd be great if you could do so and then post things on your Userpages here at RealCTY.  Charlie wants to collect some of the stuff for use in his CTY magazine called ''Forevermore''.  If you would allow him to use your journalings, please email them to him at forevermore@postctydepression.org.

''Forevermore'' has currently published two issues and is still in its early stages.  I personally believe that it would benefit most from added participation.  Please go to the [http://www.postctydepression.com/magazine/ ''Forevermore'' homepage], part of PCTYD, to check out the current issues, and email Charlie via the ''Forevermore'' email or to his other email accounts, which you can find at PCTYD.

===Dearest CTY Overlords of Baltimore and their Minions of Various Statuses:===

Please do not ban our lying on the grass.  It provides students with what is perhaps the most relaxed climate for social interaction and building friendships.  They kindle strong friendships that last even after session ends, which is very important to many of the students, who are often socially isolated outside of CTY -- before they attend.  I implore you to maintain CTY as a place not only of academic education, but of life education and social development.  Students have never been known to do anything inappropriate while lying on the grass with heads on friends' stomachs -- I think you will agree that movement is quite restricted in such a position.  If nomenclature becomes an issue, I, and I'm sure, the CTY populace, will happily work to oust any problematic words from our traditional CTY vocabulary on this site and in as many sessions and sites as we have the influence to do so.

From RealCTY, where a shrug never follows a shrotum.

 Hello, all. I have a special request for all of you—to read and, if possible, take action on my June 20, 2012 open letter regarding the program's growing restrictions on student expression. Much thanks; I really do appreciate your time. —Max Wang, site administrator, RealCTY
