if you're old enough, what does yours look like?

mine is silver, with an aquamarine (december birthstone) in the center. it says LINDSAY HOLY FAMILY (my school) around the stone, with 2006 on one side of the ring, and a bulldog on the other. it also has my first intial, middle and last names engraved on the inside.

so, share what your class ring looks like

I don't have one...

I considered getting one...purely based on the idea of pawning it while I was stressed for money in college...but decided to...get a car instead. (tells you how much my car is worth huh???)

but it would have been pink...let me tell you :grin:

I'm guessing this must be an american thing right...cos I've never heard of the idea before...ever.....I know of year books and proms and stuff...but rings is a new one.....

We don't have them in Austria either. Do you get them when you finish school? In Austria, when you did your A-levels the whole class goes on a holiday together. That's a nice tradition too. Never heard about rings though.

Me neither... It's the first time I hear about class rings... Why and whendo you get them?

ok, its not fair...all you get in Scotland is nothing really....oh we had a farewell night with a few people from the school performing and a power point show of baby photos of the class...and we were meant to have a year book but our year screwed that up and it never got published so we didnt get one.....cos we were meant to make it ourselfs....

We don't have class rings either :cry:

It sure sounds nice.Why does yours have a bulldog and 2006?

by **TDM** » Wednesday 18 February 2004 2:03:50am

really? no one else has them? i'm a sophomore, and i ordered it last october, but it came around the 1st of the year.

we do have the thing when you're a senior, you go on a senior trip. mostly skiing it has been...but the guys in my class haved talked about going to Mardi Gras.

(BTW, a bulldog is my school's mascot, and 2006 is the year i graduate)

is this some kind of meorabilia thing?

So you have to get it? It's not given to you? and you get it before you graduate?

talk about cultural differences... :grin:

Yeah... never heard of anything like that... In spain you go an week long school trip, places like amsterdam, paris, vienna...

never heard of it before! we don't have such things like school rings in Greece. sometimes, of course, friends buy rings that are same to each other and write their names on them

yes, you have to buy it. unfortunatley, mine cost a little more than i would have liked, but oh well, it's really nice. and it's not like you have to buy one. two guys in my class didn't get one. another nver wears his. and the girls' are pretty much glued to their fingers.

(BTW, in America, a guy usually gives it to his girlfriend to wear. alas, haven't done that yet...)

At my school, it's more of an extra addition. It could be cause people in my school are poor....*shrug*

I think it's just another sign that American markets EVERYTHING. If it's an event to remember, someone somewhere's gonna make money off of it.

It's ridiculous the amount of "Senior memorabilia" they're shoving down my throat this year. Like, senior GYM shorts??? I can wear them....this year...and my senior year in college, and when I'm a senior citizen.....Woohoo. It's absurd....all of this marketing...in the name of memories. :evil:

Never heard of class rings either. Why do you get them?

Never heard of them either. Here, the students in their final year, have a big ceremony where they get green ribbons for good luck on their final exams, they wear them for the rest of year before exams.
