Superlative History Begins
In 1921 With ^Statistics'
On January 8, 1921, the history of Superlatives at GHS began, establishing a traditon that
las varied in importance and form with each class since then.

hat were different from this year’s list. Jolliest, Most Musical, Frankest, Biggest Flirt, Most
iJonceited, and the Most Businesslike were included in the list.

nore, juniors, and senior classes.
Either a boy or girl could be

Chrstmas season for GHS as they present their annual Holi

to the campus that night.

1 Statistic but not both, and
ivhen the smallness of the 1921
graduating class is considered, it
:an be reasoned why they had
his policy. A person was per-
nitted to have more than one
statistic, and Emelia Sternberger
:rom the old Sternberger family
received the most Statistics in
1921.
GRAND SCALE
In 1922 Statistics were held on
1 much grander scale than the
jreceding year, because consider-
ible interest was being taken in
hem. The HIGH LIFE bragged
hat “Satistic elections were to
3e held as are the elections in
he city.”
Students from each class were
to register on Tuesday and vote
jn Thursday, and the candidates
muld be taken from any class.
During the three day span, ‘soap
box’ orations were held in class
rooms, the cafeteria, halis, side-
svalks, or anywhere that a flock
of people would gather. Deem
ing himself worthy of a particu
lar statistic, a student used many
means to campaign for himself.
Again only a boy or a girl
:ould have a Statistic, but each
person could have more than
sne if elected. Besides having
Statistics of the entire school,
each individual class had elec
tions.
