I think it's pretty clear that minor "celebrity status" is what this young woman & her mother wanted & they got it.
I was just trying to imagine what that school's year book would like like if heaps of other students demanded (& received) their rights to be individuals in the same way as this girl has .......
Could make for a very unique year book!
It could become a collectors' classic!

I remember when I was graduating from high school.
We had several student publications; maybe 8 or 1O.
The hi school had adopted cartoon versions of beavers
as mascots. The students were accustomed to seeing those
cartoon beavers around for years; paid little attention to them.
There was a frequently used cartoon image of a male beaver
casting large enthusiastic eyes upon a shy looking female beaverette.
At graduation time, as his final act in office,
the student editor of one of the publications drew a copy
of those beavers (or he enlarged upon the original drawing)
with a large phallic symbol on the male beaver, as he looked upon
the shy, bashful beaverette. It was a very popular gag.
