Can you write a quiz?

By Tillie Slosser
1. Do you have ideas?
A. Yes
B. No
2. Do you know your ABCs?
A. Yes
B. No
3. Can you type?
A. Yes
B. No
I think you can figure out the answers.

As my readers know, I am digging into the past

by looking through old Daily Doubles from the 80s and
90s. I wanted to learn more about the camps history, so
I interviewed Aaron Gelb, the camp director. Aaron has
been a CRCAP since he was a camper in 1984, so I knew it
would be a good choice to interview him. I asked Aaron all
sorts of questions, like did he write for the Daily Double?
Yes, Aaron did write for the Daily Double from 1985-1988,
and I also found a few of Aarons articles from when he was
camper. Aaron mostly wrote about science fiction stories
in a series. Aaron mentioned that he was a CIT in Daily
Double along with the counselors who taught the class
Matt Levine and Andrew Draper. By what Aaron said you
must assume that Aaron loved that Daily Double, well why
did he love it so much? I asked Aaron that exact question,
and his response was that he loved the people in the class
because they were just like him. At the time Aaron didnt
like to be on stage, and since Daily Double periods were 2
and 3 (same time as production) he would be with people
who would feel the same way. Aaron also mentioned that
the space the Daily Double room is in (the old library) is
very special, it must send off good vibes.
As I was reading the old Daily Doubles camp
sounded different and the same at the same time in some
of the articles, so I asked Aaron if camp has changed at all.
Aaron said that some parts of camp are different but the
camp still has one goal: to let people take risks and just be
weird. Aaron also said all the things I love about camp are
still here. But the camp still has a lot of the same classes as
it did back then ex: Daily Double, production, soap stone
and much more! The camp has also added a lot of classes
like all our video classes, music classes, and more classes
with crazy names.
Some people may or may not know that we havent
always had a dining hall with food were we could just take
as much as we want. Back when Aaron was a camper they
had something called the apple kitchen. So I asked Aaron
- whats the apple kitchen? His response was: its where
campers got there lunch! Except campers would have to
pay for their lunch meal, but of course campers had the
choice of bringing their lunch too.
After interviewing Aaron Ive realized that a lot of
things at camp are the same from the past or just a little bit
different. In the future, no matter how CRCAP changes,
campers will always be aloud and encouraged to be weird,
take risks and be yourself.

Walkers Eighth Life

By Sophie Biro
As you may know, Walker saw a grey hair and he
FLIPPED OUT! He ran around the cruise ship, poured every
possible hair dye in his hair, and hopped on a giraffe and rode
everywhere. When Sarah came near him and asked what the
problem was, he said that he had a grey hair. Sarah, like
him, FLIPPEED OUT! She hopped on a kangaroo and they
stomped around for a while. Then Winnie came out. When
her father told her, she went mad and hopped on a rhino and
rode with them. When Jam and Pam found out, they couldnt
even crack a joke and they hopped on a camel. They all were
crazy for a while until Walker saw another grey hair

Science in high levels

By Ryan Kane
Welcome to Science in high levels! This series is all
about science! Todays main question: What color is
a mirror? Answer: A mirror might look silver because
its usually depicted that way in books or movies.
However,its actually the color of whatever is reflected
onto it. A perfect mirror has specular reflection,
meaning it reflects all light in a single direction equal
to what it receives. Specular reflection creates an image
of whatever object is in front of it. But most mirrors
we use arent perfect. In fact, our mirrors reflect green
light, so they often make the objects in them have a
greenish tinge. Hope this answered your question nice
and clear-like!

I Put All my Random questions into a story!

By Katie Predella
Once upon a time there was this wolf
in my house. He just talked to me, which is
COMPLETLEY normal, right? He asked me
how awesome his kind was on a scale of -1
20. I told him, um, 12 He got really mad, and
barfed on my socks, and then ran away. Typical
day at my house. Then my mom came in, and
she asked me Why are your socks green? Well
I told her about the wolf, and she ran outside to
look for it. I went outside and took a walk down
the street. A random old lady came up and held
up a flyer for a lost pet and asked me Have you
seen my pygmy spaghetti moose? He ran away
yesterday I remembered the pile of spaghetti
that I found in my closet and said He was in my
closet yesterday, and then my cat ate him The
old lady shook her cane at me, and walked back
to her house, weeping pathetically. I ran up to my
house, where my friend was playing in my yard.
Uh, why are you in my yard? I asked her. She
just replied I dont know, why is Misha Collins
so Misha-ish? I dont stalk actors/actresses, so
I dont know I said. My friend left, and a bird
flew down from a tree outside my house. Why
do bad things happen to good people? He sang.
I just stared at him, for I had no idea. I dont
really know. Bad things happen to good people
a lot. Maybe its just that even thought good
people rock, the Greek gods just dont like them.
Being a huge fan of PJO (Percy Jackson and
the Olympians), thats just my wacky opinion
No sang the bird. Oooooooohh kay? I said,
confused. Gosh, does this bird disrespect my
opinions? This has been the wackiest day ever!
I went back into my house where my stuffed
animals asked me Do you know how to sew?
Well yeah! Of course! I replied. THEN FIX
US NOW!!!!!!! they shouted. I ran out of the
room screaming. How could all these inanimate
objects talk like this? But there was much much
more to come. When I got into the family room,
the clock questioned me Do you like 11:00 or
12:00 better? I replied as quickly as I could
11:00!!!!!!! and ran as fast as I could. I ran
into the fire place, which happened to be lit. My
brother came over and asked me Why is your
hair on fire?

ones when they bought new blankets. Walker and Sarah
made blanket forts for them to live each night. Suddenly
Walker found a wallet. It was the presidents. It had
1,000,000 dollars. He returned it, and he got 1,000,000
for that. They bought brownstone and lived there until
Walker did something. Read the next one to find out what
this was!

Idea Box- Another 1000 Word Article.

By Caleb Lazar

Recently, people have been complaining about
how lame the ideas in the Idea Box are, but theyre
lucky to even get ideas from it. Whenever I want to
get an idea, I have to do surgery to get into the Idea
Boxs brain, and I feel really bad because I didnt get
its permission to go into his brain and read all of its
personal thoughts, because how am I supposed to
tell the difference between one of its thoughts and
an idea? Like, will Jennifer Aniston ever find true
love? Is that an idea, or does the Idea Box have a
crush on her? But I guess that its not my fault that I
dont get its permission, because it gives me the silent
treatment for absolutely no reason at all! I mean,
really? I didnt do anything! Is the Idea Box mute?
Because if it is, now I feel kind of bad for getting
angry at its disability. Please dont think Im an awful
person because I didnt know that the Idea Box was
mute and not just giving me the silent treatment and
I got mad at it! I probably hurt its feelings. Maybe I
even broke its heart wait, it doesnt have a heart!
Or a brain! How does it come up with ideas without a
brain? How is it even alive without a heart or brain?
Is it alive, or did it pass away? It might be dead. How
long ago did the Idea Box pass away? Why wasnt
I invited to the funeral? Oh, yeah, it wasnt buried,
because its right here in the Daily Double room.
We just have a dead body lying around on a table
here at camp, and nobody has bothered to move it,
or tell me so that I can move it? And now were not
respecting the dead either, by going into its head and
pulling out ideas. Wow I reached inside a dead
things head. Thats really gross, and could start an
epidemic! We might all have the disease! We could all
die! Everyone, please go to the hospital immediately
before we all die because we got a disease. Or even
worse we might be cursed for disturbing the dead
body! Is anyone at this camp related to a physic? Or
anyone spiritual? This is really, really, really, really,
really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
really, really, really, really, really, really, serious!
If we all are cursed, the curse could spread to our
families and our friends, and then their families,
and then our schools, and then the entire state, and
then the country, and then the continent, and then the
world, and could all be cursed to be haunted by the
Idea Box ghost forever! What if the other Idea Boxes

got mad at us because we were disrespective to the Idea

Box here at CRCAP and took over the world and made
us all their slaves that had to do everything that they said
and had to feed them idea juice and wash them and fan
them with giant oversized feathers like they do in those
cartoon movies? And it would all be our fault, and all
humans would have an awful life in a dystopian land until
a bunch of our descendants create a rebellion and try to
overthrow the Idea Boxes? But if we overthrew them,
we would have to destroy all of them because otherwise
they would try and get revenge, and if we destroyed all
the Idea Boxes, then we would never get to have ideas
about what to write about when we have writers block,
which is SOOOOO annoying to have! I mean, I want to
be a writer when I grow up and if I get writers block
how will I ever write an exciting book about a dystopian
future because those are really cool to read about but
probably not really cool to live in. Like, if you lived in a
dystopian future you would be stuck doing whatever the
evil government says you have to do and then you would
probably be really sad and try to start a rebellion but
it fails because all the rebels are too weak with hunger
because they are starving to death because they dont
get enough food, and then you would be punished and
either imprisoned, forced to become a slave, or executed.
And then before they gave you your punishment they
would torture your family and you would have to watch
it happen and be unable to do anything to help them and
you would feel awful and swear vengeance on the evil
government but the only way you could do that would
be to escape because they gave you your punishment
and that wouldnt really work that well because they
would have like a million guards watching you whenever
you did anything, which actually sounds pretty creepy
because that means that theyll watch you when youre
using the bathroom and that would be REALLY gross
and you would feel uncomfortable and then you would
never want to use the bathroom and you would get your
bladder burst because it is so full but you wont empty it,
or you wont drink anything because you dont want to
have to use the bathroom and then youll get dehydrated
and get sick and then the government will let you die
because you are a criminal and then your family would
be said unless the government brainwashed then or killed
them as part of the part where you had to watch them get
tortured because you were bad and the government are
trying to punish you. Okay, Im kind of going in circles
now. Going in circles is really fun, though, and I also like
spinning around and around and around. Ive got to go
because its almost 5th period! Bye bye!

The origin of wolficorns part 4

by Alexa Orent
intro
There is a tree in a forest somewhere. All unicorns come
to this tree once a year to make an offering to the unicorn
god. They pray for health and happiness, and peace with
the wolves. There is a mineral in the deepest caves more
valuable than all minerals and gems put together. Every
year at the same time all the wolves come to this tree
and pray. They pray for health and happiness, and peace
with the unicorns. The history of the wolves and the
unicorns go back to the first of these two species. The
wolf stole the sapling for the unicorn tree thus the war
that followed. This war had been going on for billions
of years. The war continued till something strange and
wonderful happened.
The unicorn tree
The next day the wolf was sitting at her small cave on
the edge of the clearing. She had something in her lap.
She handed the thing to him. She didnt say anything but
looked at him with solemn eyes. After he left, he opened
the package and looked inside. It contained three things.
One was a small chain with a small rock attached to it.
This rack was a beautiful sea green with glimmering
blue and silver mixed in. the next was another chain
with a rock attached but this rock was a red with yellow
and gold mixed in. the third was a letter with his name
written at the top. As he started to read the letter the
paper kept crumpling over itself. The next line read stop
reading this. When he finished that line the paper started
to get hotter and hotter. He dropped it with a snort.
Not yet. Came the same small voice that thanked
him the day before. He turned around but no one was
in sight. The paper was no longer hot when he brought
it home.
The wolfs gem
Her next dream was short. It appeared to be much
earlier in time than any of the other dreams. The sapling
stood before her. A bark cried out and it was taken by
the wolves right in front of her eyes. She knew the story,
however. The unicorns would take it back and steal one
baby wolf. However what she saw wasnt the story she
grew up to hearing. Yes the unicorns got the sapling back
but no baby wolf pup was stolen. Her dream faded once
again and she woke up looking into the face of a young
male unicorn who then screamed shes awake dad!

Things that need to happen in fiction

By Will Edwards
This article shall list out things that need to happen.
1. Superwholock the series. Supernatural, Doctor
Who and Sherlock have fandoms that overlap so much
they coined a term to describe the shared fandom
(superwholockians). So lets have a crossover series to
cash in on it. It would combine elements of the three
different series into one epic series.
2. Young Avengers meets Game of Thrones: Loki
compared himself to Tyrion, therefore they must meet
sometime.
3. The Scarlet Witch gets payback: Jean Grey acted
like a jerk to the Scarlet Witch for causing M-Day
(mass depowering of mutants), flat out ignoring she
felt guilty for it, is trying to atone and already undid it.
Thats more than Jean can say about the whole Dark
Phoenix thing. So I declare that the Scarlet Witch
deserves to give Jean the exact same treatment for her
Dark Phoenix phase.
4. Half-Life 3: I only want this in order to make people
shut up about it.
5. Young Avengers movie: I really want this. The
Young Avengers need more recognition.

An article about articles

By Ryan Kane
This is an article about articles! So what is an
article about articles? Its my new series about
other series! This article, Bob the snowball. Bob
the snowball is a snowball named bob (obviously)
he has lots of adventures and has to stay out of
warm places or else. Next time it comes out, be

bob.
