Which JAWS characters would win which Amity High School yearbook awards?

Hello islanders,

School is out and as the kids scurry through the halls getting their yearbooks signed, it’s time to look back at the memorable students of Amity High School and the superlatives they received.  NOTE:  It’s a small school, so a few students may have earned more then one honor.

MOST ATHLETIC:  Harry Kissel.  Underneath that swim cap and man boobs is an Olympic-caliber swimmer.

MOST SPIRITED:  Harry Meadows.  As the Island’s resident newspaper man and PR guy, he can make even a deadly shark attack seem like a day at the beach.

DRAMA QUEEN:  Karen Taft.  We know you’re angry, and not just because you own the motel.  

MOST FRIENDLY:  Len Hendricks.  With a wave and a smile, this deputy can disarm even the grouchiest tourist.

BEST LAUGH:  Matt Hooper.  Ron Pallilo passed away before I could ask him if he copied Arnold Horschack’s laugh from Richard Dreyfuss.

BEST SMILE:  Bruce.  With 268 more teeth then anyone else in the class, he takes this prize swimmingly.

MOST AMBITIOUS:  Quint.  He knows what he wants, and he knows how much he wants to do it.  

MOST LIKELY TO BECOME PRESIDENT:  Larry Vaughn.  By acting in the town’s best interests, he served his Island visitors up as a smorgasbord.  Still, he must be one hell of a politician because he’s still the Mayor in JAWS 2. 

CLASS CLOWN:  Felix.  Not only is he quick with the one liners but he can tell you exactly where the nearest hotel is on the Island.

CUTEST COUPLE:  Martin and Ellen Brody.  Prom King and Queen who could often be found getting drunk and fooling around.  

BIGGEST TEASE:  Chrissie Watkins.  Sure, she’ll invite you to go skinny dipping.  But when you get to the water’s edge she leaves you all alone.  

MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED:  Martin Brody.  He doesn’t take “no” for an answer, fighting for what he believes in.

BEST PENMANSHIP:  Polly
