RAs

Adam Roush

Adam Roush is an extremely well-known and well-loved RA at Lancaster. Having gone to eight sessions of CTY as a student and eight as an RA. In 2008, Adam received a change of position and was briefly SRA.

Adam is rarely referred to as Adam Roach and a few other similarly "creative" nick names. Normally he is referred to as Adam, Roush, or Adam Roush, and he will be referred to thusly in this article.

He is best known as the RA of First Dietz, a one-year hall in 2004 that nonetheless has a large following to this day. Indeed, he was the catalyst for the creation of the ever-popular "Tunak Tunak Tun" dance. Speaking of dances, he has (in the past few years) provided input for the Rocky Horror Picture Show tribute that takes place at the Second Saturday dance each year.

Roush is renowned for his prowess in the fields of banjo (as well as many other instruments, most with strings) and MC-ing, specifically in comparison to his evil, evil foil, the Student Talent Show MC. Adam also has mystical and superhuman powers. Indeed, at the Second Friday dance at 06.2, he broke up a group of girls who were inappropriately dancing (a.k.a. grinding train)... with his mind. He is also well-known for preemptive finger wagging towards innocent girls with pure intentions who would never even THINK of breaking any PDA rules. He was, understandably, the nemesis of User:Nixon.

The man is intense. -Unknown

He was also one of the inventors of Greg Ball, a game played a few times in 2005.1 involving the yellow ball known as "Greg" and his cane.

In 2006.1, Adam also introduced his hall, on Fourth Thomas, to the Eurovision 2006 contest via YouTube videos displayed on his laptop. The song "Hard Rock Hallelujah" by the Finnish band Lordi became a favorite; at that session's Karaoke Night, he, along with several of his students, created masks and imaginary musical instruments and performed the song in front of the unsuspecting crowd. Some of the students on the hall had their musical tastes forever changed by that incident.

In one activity (Pretentious Coffee House) Greg wrote a poem:

What is pretentious?

Adam Roush

In 2008.1 he became the SRA head of Schnader Hall. He was known during this year for his very theatrical all-Schnader meetings on the steps of his building. During which time he would dress up in military attire and address the hall in a loud booming voice. In his heroically awesome speeches of the greatness of "Mother Schnader" he made sure that his building was the best because the other rival male SRA was Frank Wang. Sadly, he left before the end of second session for unnoted personal reasons. He is assumed to be retired from CTY.

The following is by Adam Roush

Actually, he plans to return, and likely as instructional staff. He needed some break time, and is not sure when that will end. He has certainly not forgot the denizens of CTY Lancaster, and cannot stay apart from them forever. He also finds it a wonderfully pretentious exercise to type in the third person.

Everyone who knows him knows he loves stories--tell him some! He's missed quite a bit of CTY lately, and wants to know what happened. Specifically what happened from a horribly biased, 1st person perspective. He's on facebook[1], you know.

So ends the portion by Adam Roush

Bo Snitchler

Bo Snitchler (short for Robert Edward Snitchler, II) was a CTYer at Carlisle in the early 2000's and an RA at the Lancaster site for in 2007 and 2008. He has one rule: to the good, his is more than fair, and to the bad, he is not. This rule has earned him the respect and acknowledgement as a very good RA. His excellence is widely known throughout the campus. In addition to his great methods of RAing, Bo is a fun, humorous, loveable and insanely attractive guy. He enjoys dressing in drag, listening to music, and, as a CTYer himself, partakes in many traditions. Because of his own love of CTY, he is able to connect more with campers, and vice-versa.

He is also known for the creation of Seymour/Stanley the unicorn, which was later made famous by RAs Matt and Dermot, which later resulted in the now infamous Marshall Civil War.

DERMOT'S EPIC BOEM BY DERMOT

There once was an RA named Bo.

That's right, I said an RA named Bo.

He liked to sing,

And do something.

And guess what, it was me.

AN EPIC BOEM: OF BO AND THE ULTRA MEGA HELL DRAGON

Being the FIRST SAGA of the TWIN SAGAS OF BO…

‘Twas on a dark and stormy night,
That, shined on by some dwindling light,
A goddess, pregnant, felt a break,
Of water, which then became a lake,

With a push, a shove, and a lot of pain,
Bo was born, the lanyard-swingers bane,
With the eyes of a puppy and a heart of gold,
His babiness was strong and bold,

Bo fed on the blood of fire ants,
Wore magic shirts and lightning pants,
But was soon abandoned as a child,
Raised by bears amongst the wild,

Until one day, Frank Wang appeared,
He said that Hellish Darkness neared,
He said to Bo, “It is your fate,
To stop this lanyard swinging hate,

“A mega dragon wrought in hell,
Has cast the world into his spell,
He’s taken the ONE LANYARD from the Norse,
And swings it wildly, unbalancing the force,”

Thus Bo was put into Frank Wang’s training,
A light of hope in darkness waning,
Working hour by hour, day and night,
He could stop a lanyard-swinger by sight,

He sallied forth to fight the beast,
Whose wings were lasers and exploded unleashed,
In epic journey, Bo survived,
He suffered the torture, barely alive,

For Bo did travel through all of Hell,
From the Satanic Mountain to the Death-Bane Well,
To find the place where weapons lay,
That would help the evil dragon slay,

It was fabled that there existed a Frisbee,
Made of water from Hell to combat the dragon’s Fire Frisbee,
Frank had told Bo of this disc,
And Bo, to find it, took the risk,

At last, Bo found the Sacred Spring,
Of Justice, there did Valkyries sing,
He found the Water Frisbee there,
And out into the distance stared,

He saw a burst of molten flame,
It from Satanic Mountain came,
The dragon was aware of Bo,
And thought, “Oh my, this Bo must go!”

After weary traveling,
Bo did hear a thundering,
For he was now upon the peak,
Of Satan’s Mountain, and he heard a creak,

And now in clear sight he could see,
The Mega-Hell-Dragon of Misery,
He drew out his water blade,
And prayed to God, “Oh Lord! Oh Schnade!”

In epic flames Bo was consumed,
But brushed off his gory wounds,
He wound his arm and fired away,
The Water Frisbee, afraid to say,

That even though the dragon roared,
Bo felt that he was sort of bored,
For the dragon, yes, was epic still,
But he was easy for Bo to kill,

The discus hit the dragon hard,
And now, just like any bard,
I will relate in great detail,
The dragon’s death, to your avail,

The dragon’s eyes exploded blood,
Its bloody scales, its uvula,
And guts and feces soaked the ground,
And formed a gory mound,

And grub this the One Lanyard,
Bo stopped its swinging, abrupt and hard,
And claiming now his Lightning Sword,
Over all Lanyards, Bo was Lord

Site Directors

Brian Bloomfield

Brian Bloomfield was the Site Director for Lancaster in 2007. Brian was a fairly tradition-friendly Site Director and was also very reasonable, especially with Baltimore's rules. He held four "Talk with Brian" activities to talk about expectations and traditions and to answer questions. He was very approachable for even the smallest of issues, and always helped with questions (whether they be about Alcove, stolen stuff, or Mandatory Fun). He would, at times, take away dances, but he never took an entire one from anyone. There were, however, a great deal of people who were given probational contracts for things such as illegal sleepovers, and opinions about him are sometimes mixed.

Brian provided three cakes for the Last Suppers of both sessions (each said, respectively, "The", "Last", "Supper"). For Session 2, he also opened the conference room (Dining Hall 4), the perpetually closed dining area opposite the Alcove, to accommodate the large nomore populace. It had one long table which fit all the nomores, and round tables around the nomore table for spectators.

He also wrote on peoples' clothing:

• Max Wang's Shirt : "U will never amount 2 anything SD Brian"
• Yulia Korovikov's Jeans : "Yulia is not awesome SD Brian"

He did not return for 2008, though many RAs actually liked his successor, Site Director Debbie, more than Brian.
