Dermot

Dermot Patrick Aloysius Michael Curtain (also known as Dermont Curtit or simply Dertit) was an RA at Loudonville in 07.1 and 07.2 and at Lancaster in 08.1 and 08.2. Through a yet unexplained phenomenon he became somewhat of a hero to many a CTY student. He is best known for his unorthodox antics and his constantly changing appearance.

At Loudonville, he was known for putting on Beyoncé music and running up and down the hallway in a giant yellow hat and suit for hall meetings. Additionally, he would often coach his hall in soccer. It was never clear what his experince was to do so, as he would usually only spout that he wanted to see "more cross-checking in the neutral zone" -a hockey term.

It was also at Loudonville where "the Dermites", a cult dedicated to Dermot and his magical bowler derby hat (rivaling the Slushites of Meng) were founded. They were often at odds with Meng Cheng the leader of the opposition. However, the Dermites are not extinct to the present day.

Past high priestesses:

• 2007 – Catrina Doxsee
• 2008 – Katelin Schutz
• Eternal Highest Priestess – Julie (not Julia) Leghorn

Dermot is somewhat of a chameleon and has taken on many personas, including Dennis Kent (Superman's powerless brother, the Kents' biological child, also known as The Dork Knight), Olmec (from Legends of the Hidden Temple), Amishguy, Todd the yuppie, Waterfall (from Hippie Freakout and Smile Time hour), The Dork Lord, and Ken (as in, Barbie). Dermot also discovered Seymour the Unicorn in his second session's hall bathroom, whereupon he wrote ballads of praise and led an activity dedicated to appreciating this amazing cardboard beast constructed from pizza boxes and duct tape (its head was later brought to his room and left on his pillow as a parody of "The Godfather"). Seymour's present whereabouts are unknown. He was last spotted in the bathroom of the Lancaster Waffle House. In addition, Dermot is himself quite skilled with a guitar and performed Space Oddity with Sarah Hackney at the 08.2 staff talent show, and introduced the song simply entitled "Plant Man" to CTY Lancaster.

Dermot's signature pose is standing with his hands on his hips, which he does as often as necessary, which, of course, is ALWAYS. Another one of his iconic symbols is his circular "John Lennon" styled glasses, which are now in the possession of Sarah Hackney. (and the other were... given... to Julie Leghorn)

As of 2009 Dermot has retired from his CTY career. Although the legend of the magical unicorn will live on in the hearts of every CTYer.
