OMG! Jostens didmy class ring(1968)! I have one but I could never wear it for long. I was allergic to the metal!

The only one who wore my class ring was my high school boyfriend. We went steady for a while. He wore it on his pinky finger.

But class rings were a very big thing back then! I really don't know if nowadays that they still are?

In those days the whole class voted on one style and we all had the same ring. But I do know that in later years class rings were not the same for everyone in the class. In which I never liked because IMO a class ring should reflect the whole class and not individual tastes. Call me old-fashioned but IMO a class ring should represent the entire class?

I think you should get one "just in case."
You know.. you can show it to your grandchildren or something.
Plus, you are only given the opportunity to buy a classring ONCE. Miss it now, and you'll miss it forever. You might just regret it.

As for me, tho, to be 100% hypocritical... I'm not getting one. I hate my school and 99% of everyone in it.

anyone else?

Jo_Luvs_Ketchup · 11-13-2005, 12:03 AM

Oh yeah! I have to order mine because in my school, we're having a ring ceremony. They bless it and everything. My mom had to get the most expensive one possible. I don't get what the big deal is. It's just a ring lol Oh well.

Karen* · 11-13-2005, 01:24 AM

I ordered one from Jostens too about a month ago. My suggestion is that you just wait it out till next year when you're a senior to buy yours. It'll be more meaningful for you.

Rene · 11-13-2005, 02:24 AM

yea if i do get one it will probably be senior year

desilu90 · 11-13-2005, 02:31 AM

Well, I ordered one this year I'm in the 10th grade and they (jostlens people) came to my school a while back but still haven't came !!!! but It's up to you how do you feel on upon getting a class ring... and all!!!!

sara · 11-13-2005, 03:46 AM

I bought one, but I don't ever wear it. Mainly because people already think I look about 18 instead of 26. So if I would wear my class ring people might think I really was in high school.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 11-13-2005, 10:42 AM

I never got one. They're super expensive and I don't trust myself with expensive things.

Kay Scarpetta · 11-13-2005, 11:25 AM

I don't want one. I don't need a daily reminder of that hell-hole.

Mijada · 11-13-2005, 11:26 AM

I guess it all depends on how important HS was to you. If it was a good experience with a lot of great memories and you have the money to buy one, I say go for it. I have one but it doesn't fit me anymore, been sitting in a dresser drawer for the past 12 years or so. Personally, if I could go back I would have spent that hundred bucks on something else.

gilligan fanatic · 11-13-2005, 01:39 PM

like a lot of you mine came from Jostens to. I ordered it last year and it came in in September. I haven't worn it that much. I keep forgetting about it.

Kazza · 11-13-2005, 09:24 PM

This topic has brought up a new insight to me about class rings. I bought a pretty expensive one when I graduated in '91 and it was stolen, I've been considering replacing it but for one thing it will never have the same sentimental value, it will probably sit in a drawer and I would be thinking that I could've spent the money on something more useful that doesn't remind me of hell.
