Good titles or awards for a farewell party should be light-hearted, funny, and should not be at all distastful. Unless the recipient is absolutely, 100 per cent guaranteed to understand that their title is joke, you should avoid jokey titles if they could be misconstrued as offensive or hurtful. After all, this is their farewell party, and your seniors are there to have a great evening, and to bring their time as a senior to a fitting close - you don't want to ruin it by coming up with titles that are a little bit too tongue-in-cheek.
Safe titles that are easy to think up are superlatives - words that end in "est", or phrases that start with "most". Titles such as "most likely to get 100% in a test" or "funniest jokes" are effortless to come up with and enjoyable to receive. Common titles also include the "cutest couple" or "best dressed" award.
If you are awarding a title to one of your seniors based on one of their characteristics, make sure that it is a characteristic which will be recognised by everyone at the farewell party. It's not good awarding the "funniest guy" award to a senior with a great sense of humor..that only you understand! In order for the titles to seem relevant to the rest of the seniors, and for them to be a hit, titles should be awarded to the most obvious recipient. A good way to judge what the seniors think of each other is by asking them to fill in a quick questionnaire at the end of a class. Only use positive questions, such as "who do you think has the best sense of humor?" or "who is the best dressed person in the class", in order to get positive feedback which you can translate into your titles.
