Once a year, the senior class gets the opportunity to reflect on and anonymously judge their peers. This time of year, filled with joy, shattered egos and tax returns, can make or break the rest of a senior’s life. Many seniors worry that if they don’t win anything, they will fade into obscurity faster than Fountains of Wayne after the buzz from “Stacy’s Mom” died down. This will probably happen, and is a legitimate worry. Luckily, as the ingenious humor writers have proven once again, their goodwill and charity is boundless.
