Stuck for names so thought this might be a fun was of getting inspiration. The clever pretty girl at my school who was also nice to people, basically a fab all rounder, was Abby.

Joy probably - was popular, pretty and nice - not the cleverest in the class but not thick either.

Cleverest wasn't pretty or nice.

Prettiest wasn't nice either or clever

A girl who sticks in my mind was the headgirl, extremely clever, beautiful without trying and such a lovely person. She is called Haley.

Angela.
The name suited her so well, she really lit up the room and she couldn't see it for herself. Don't know what happened to her...

Sian was all of these (pretty, but not beautiful though).
Pamela was not very clever but very beautiful and kind.
Ruth was clever and sporty - earthy looking and kind.
Sarah was a good all rounder, along with Sue.
Doreen was stick thin, ugly and not in the least clever and very unkind.
Secondary school - about 1983!

Abi and Nikki/ Nicola
Lost touch with them both as I was clever but not pretty.

Camilla... I was in awe of her!

Clever: Catherine and Linda
Popular (though one definitely, with hindsight, a Queen Bee): Joanne and Sally
