Superlatives are often used in yearbooks for graduating seniors.
According to dictionary.com, “superlative” is defined as, “of the highest kind, quality, or order; surpassing all else or others.” The students of AHN filled out an online survey to choose one of their classmates that they felt best fit each category of superlatives. These unique categories give a sense as to the many blossoming, “stand out-ish” personalities that walk the halls of AHN.
