This year the seniors were given a list of 32 different superlatives and a list of everyone in the graduating class of 2013. On this list there were the common/most popular ones like; best dressed, best hair, class clown, nicest smile, and most likely to succeed. Along with the common superlatives, there are a few new superlatives that were different and could be difficult to understand. Some of the examples that fall under this category are; most likely to pass as a junior high student, Barbie and Ken, best of friends, most likely to win hunger games, most laid back, forever young, most outspoken, and best to bring home to parents.
Every student will most likely have different outlooks on what these superlatives mean or some may not even know what some of these mean. Our interpretations of these superlatives are as followed for each one. Most likely to pass for a junior high student – the boy and girl who are the smallest seniors in terms of height. Barbie and Ken – glitzy California cookie cutter, somewhat preppy and could easily look like a California native. Best of friends – there was some confusion on this one, yes, you have to pick two girls and two guys who have been best friends for all of high school or even longer. Most likely to win the hunger games – for those of you who don’t know what ‘’The Hunger Games are an annual event in which one boy and one girl aged 12–18 from each of the twelve districts surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle to the death.’’ Most laid back – the most relaxed, quiet, keeps to themselves kind of person. Forever young – basically will always be a child at heart. Most outspoken – two people who speak their mind whenever they want to. And last, best to bring home to your parents – an overall good kid that any parent would want their son/daughter to date.
Aaron and I hope that some of the confusion was cleared up by telling you what our opinions are but, people do have different opinions and outlooks. Your definition could be something completely different than what ours are.

I think that the clarification of these new superlatives is important especially if you want to go through your year book and and remember the good times you had with people in high school

I kind of agree with Jacob, but for us in high school, I think it’s a great idea. When I was looking at a senior’s sheet, I immediately had two people pop into my head!

In my opinion, I don’t like the Hunger Games one. The Hunger Games is going to be a passing fad, and say in 20 years from now my kid looks through my yearbook, they wouldnt know what the Hunger Games is. Its just not a good superlative in my opnion for a yearbook.

I really like all the new superlatives (especially the one about the Hunger Games!!). It’s a clever way to make the yearbook special for your class! Well done!

Hey guys – Co-editor of the yearbook here
Our thoughts behind these
Most likely to pass as a middle school student – the youngest looking, or who we think will still look young as we get older
Barbie and Ken – California, preppy type
Most likely to win the Hunger Games – who could survive on their own in the woods for an extended period of time
Most laid back – someone who is very “go with the flow”
The rest, Jesse and Aaron got perfectly 🙂
Just to clarify our intentions 🙂
