All six yearbook Superlatives are given in clue 1: Most Likely to Succeed,
the honor Ophelia won, the award the Walton girl won, the category in which
Freddy won, the Ives boy's Superlative, and the "Most" for which Renee and
Brad appear in the Sounder. By clue 8, the Zimmer girl and Jones boy
were elected Best Athlete. Ophelia isn't the Zimmer girl (clue 11) and
Freddy isn't the Jones boy (12); so, in clue 1, the Zimmer girl and Jones
boy must be Renee and Brad. By clue 3, Paula and the Knight boy won the
same honor. Since Freddy isn't the Knight boy (12), either Paula is the
Walton girl in clue 1, or the pair was named Most Likely to Succeed.
Trying the latter possibility, since Chad isn't the Knight boy (6) and
Ophelia isn't the Truman girl (11), by clue 2, Chad and the Truman girl won
the same "Most" and Chad would be the Ives boy. By clue 4, Derrick won for
Dance Machine and the Walton girl did not, so Ophelia would have won the same
sobriquet (1). Andy would be Knight and Paula Ulman (7). Evan would have
been named in the same category as the Walton girl. Since Evan isn't the
Levine boy (10), in clue 13, where Nina and the Levine boy won the same
"Most," Freddy would be. However, Nina isn't the Valdez girl (9) and
couldn't be the Yardley girl (12), so this arrangement fails. In clue 3,
then, Paula is the Walton girl; and she and the Knight boy were named the
same "Most." Then Knight isn't Derrick (4), Chad (6), or Andy (7) and is
Evan. The Truman girl and Chad won the same honor (2). Since the Truman
girl isn't Ophelia (11), either Chad is Ives or the pair won for Most Likely
to Succeed. Trying the latter case, the Yardley girl didn't win the same
Superlative as the Ives boy (5) or Freddy (12) and would be Ophelia. By
clue 7, then, Andy won the same honor as the Ulman girl and would be Ives.
Dance Machines would be Derrick (4) and Ophelia. Freddy and the Valdez
girl would share the same Superlative. Since Nina isn't the Valdez
girl (9), she would be Truman and Chad Levine (13). By clue 9, Derrick
would be Grace and Freddy Harmon. Monica would be Ulman and Samantha Valdez
(14). However, since neither the Ulman girl and Andy (7), Evan (10), nor
Samantha (15) won the title as Funniest Senior, this arrangement fails.
So, by clue 2, Chad won the same award as the Truman girl and is the Ives
boy. By clue 13, Nina and the Levine boy won the same title. If the
Levine boy were Freddy, Nina couldn't be the Yardley girl (12) and isn't
the Valdez girl (9), so she would be the Ulman girl--whose co-winner is
Andy (7). So Nina and the Levine boy won for Most Likely to Succeed (1).
By clue 4, the female Dance Machine matching Derrick is Ophelia. By
elimination, then, Andy is Levine; so Nina is Ulman (7). By clue 12,
Freddy's female co-winner is the Valdez girl; and Ophelia is Yardley.
Derrick is Grace (9) and Freddy Harmon. By clue 14, Monica is the Truman
girl and Samantha is Valdez. Samantha and Freddy won the Senior Superlative
for Brightest Eyes (15). By clue 10, Evan was named Would Like Most to Have as a
Friend, and Chad and Monica won as Funniest. The six Senior Superlative
winners are as follows:
- Most Likely to Succeed: Nina Ulman & Andy Levine
- Best Athlete: Renee Zimmer & Brad Jones
- Dance Machine: Ophelia Yardley & Derrick Grace
- Brightest Eyes: Samantha Valdez & Freddy Harmon
- Funniest: Monica Truman & Chad Ives
- Like Most to Have as a Friend: Paula Walton & Evan Knight
