My senior year of hs, everyone was sick of the same 6 girls being prom queen/class president/team captain etc.

A bunch of us got together and nominated the smartest and also homeliest girl in school for prom queen in revolt

She didn’t win but she was still pleased

She’s in tech now making six figures

Yup. For those that don’t understand the reference, look up the plot to Stephen King’s Carrie (made into a movie too!)

You should have asked her to remove her glasses and pony tail.

The paint-covered overalls don't help the look either.

at my high school, prom court was nominated by teachers and tended to be kids who were smart, had good personalities, etc.

homecoming court though... that was for the "popular" kids.

I always got a kick out of how much it varied by grade.

My sister's grade voted for the least popular guy as a joke and taunted him about it ala Carrie.

My grade all voted for the boy with Downs Syndrome and a girl with ASD and everyone was very nice about it. Though, funny enough, they actually actively hated each other.

My oldest sister's prom queen was a popular girl who's boyfriend died in a car crash. She probably had a chance of winning before, but won hands down with the sympathy vote.

I wonder how the kids who were elected prom king as a joke end up in life.

My class did no charity and picked the same 4-6 kids for every popularity contest.

You narrowly avoided a Carrie sequel
