Co-RA with John Guido in the McKeen basement during 14.2.

Charles An

Former camper at Easton and perennial RA. Always starts out as the biggest hardass but eventually becomes one of the cooler and lax RAs. Only one to complete the moby push up challenge, a feat rivaled only by the 12 labors of Hercules. Returned in 15.2 after abandoning Easton for Haverford. If you get to know him, he will impact your life become a part of your family forever. Many have attempted such a feat and it is said that only one has succeeded. No longer the only completer of the Moby Pushup Challenge. Omar Kenawy, Oscar Moreno and Nick I-Heng Tan all completed it in 16.1.

Allan "Nallan" Hall

Nickname "Nallan" given by RA John Guido to a camper became quickly popular. Known for not having hall meetings, instead informing his campers throughout the day. Probably the most laid back RA and person to ever exist, he would often give campers much more independence than advised. Won the Allen vs Nallan challenge in 14.2 by hula hooping like a champion. He was also really into LoL and Clash of Clans. 16.2 was his last year. His hall from 16.2 will always remember:

  Ryan Burns: "Would you care if we did a 6-person ISO in Austin and Matthew's room tonight?"
  Allan: "hmm, not really."

His philosophy is one of the greatest things I've ever heard:

  "Many of you are coming from environments where you're expected to play a particular role. Depending on what that is and the level of support you have, that can be very stressful. 
  Particularly true for "gifted" kids because lots of parents (mine included) have really high expectations."

Sayre Posey

Nickname "Sayre". Spotted often at the track, either running, jogging, sprinting, bear crawling, butterflying, swimming, bicycling, hiking, traversing the great plains, etc. She was a dope DJ at basically every dance. She's also probably the dopest violinist CTY has ever seen #violin #throwbackthursday #mozart SRA 15.1 and 15.2. DRL 17.1/2.

Patrick Flanagan

Nickname Patty. Known for awesome breakdancing and breaking rules while being chased in ghost hunting, including going on South College.

Patty Gea

Patty, or Patricia. She was an absolute fairy, was an amazing dancer, and is one of the best RAs. Often had dance wars with Patrick and the two together were called "Pat-Pat".

Olabade Omole

For having the hall that made no sense, was loud, and always late. Often played a Pentatonix remix, in addition to copious amounts of EDEN, before lights out and known for phrases such as "What is this tomfoolery?" and "Keep crying." If the chant "when I say Ola you say Bade" was heard, she was probably close at hand. Advocate for the blasting of 'Sweatshirt' in 16.1.

Timothy Wong

Timothy Wong, aka. Tim Wong. Had a great dance routine and always was happy. Will be back for more sessions. His hall likes to chant "I say Tim, you say Wong,". Was always really loud and could be heard from the other side of the Farinon quad. The phrase "Tim/Tim's walking/Tim's dancing gives me life" was often used when describing him. Famous during 16.1 for saying 'Oh shoot! Um..b word, n word.....' in the 'Awkward Lyric Reading' competition ("Panda") in Swashbuckler. Needless to say, he won Swashbuckler for his team that session. In 16.2, he attempted read "Trap Queen" for ALR but lost to Allan because, according to SRA John, he "did what everyone expected him to do." Famous for dancing to the Pokemon Theme during Swash and at dances in 16.1 and 16.2. A total beast at ERS.

More known as RA Jim, famed at 16.1. Pied in the face during the carnival by camper Guido Secchiaroli, and also ran improv with RA Ryan and was an avid fan of Gordon Ramsay. After one of the campers on his hall was unfairly berated by the infamous HEATHER in 16.1, he told him "you don't have to give a crap about her." His hall then referred to him as "J-Savage."
