SUPERLATIVES FOR
YEAR CHOSEN
Each year the election of the Superlatives is one of the most anticipated events of the Spring season. This contest is sponsored by
The Register Staff and its members are not allowed in the competition.
A number of new features were
added to the list this year which
served to enliven the interest in
the election as a whole. However,
it seemed to us that out of, perhaps, eight hundred students there
should have been a larger registration than some three hundred.
The complete list is as follows:
N. B.—In each case the name of
the woman appears first.
Most Pleasing Personality: Sammie Etta Selden, Darlington, S. C;
Alexander Corbett, Jr., Lake Wae-
comaw, N. C.
