USMCBillsFan Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Ask LSI, he should be picking his up any day now...

My son is also a sophmore, we ordered his ring last month and put a $50. deposit down. They get their rings early in their junior year so they can wear them for a while
Fezmid Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I gotta say, I don't see the purpose of a class ring...
KD in CA Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I gotta say, I don't see the purpose of a class ring... One of those things that everyone did, but only about 2 guys in the entire graduating class ever wore it after graduation day.
ofiba Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I gotta say, I don't see the purpose of a class ring... Yeah. It's not like a super bowl ring that you have to earn. It's just a big clunky ring that looks ridiculous. Why anyone would pay more than 5 bucks for one is beyond me. I'd rather buy a throwback Sabres jersey.
RayFinkle Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 One of those things that everyone did, but only about 2 guys in the entire graduating class ever wore it after graduation day. their the same guys running around with their varsity jackets on two years after graduation....
Fezmid Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 One of those things that everyone did, but only about 2 guys in the entire graduating class ever wore it after graduation day. I never did - I thought it was dumb at the time, and still do
Billsjunkie Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I never got one. I graduated in '97 and they always looked stupid and 80ish to me. To each is own. The only ring I wear is my wedding ring. The Varsity jacket comment above got a nice chuckle out of me. How true is that with some people.
Fezmid Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 how much are class rings? If I recall correclty, it was around $200 at the time.
MattyT Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Not getting a class ring is one of the few occasions that I actually saved my parents money.
JoeFerguson Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 When interviewing for new friends, one of the first questions I ask is: Did you waste $200 on a high school class ring that you probably will never wear? If their answer is "yes", they don't get my friendship.
IDBillzFan Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 One of those things that everyone did, but only about 2 guys in the entire graduating class ever wore it after graduation day. We didn't have any money for my high school ring and I was sick about it because everyone else was getting one. I can only imagine the dust it would be collecting today had I bought it back then.
Observer Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Yeah. It's not like a super bowl ring that you have to earn. It's just a big clunky ring that looks ridiculous. Why anyone would pay more than 5 bucks for one is beyond me. I'd rather buy a throwback Sabres jersey. I recently ordered a throwback jersey. They must be stitching it one thread at a time because it's not here after 3 weeks.
bartshan-83 Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I thought my ring was awesome at the time, but I haven't worn it since high school. My college ring, on the other hand, is something I will wear forever...something I earned and I am proud of.
Chilly Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 When interviewing for new friends, one of the first questions I ask is: Did you waste $200 on a high school class ring that you probably will never wear? If their answer is "yes", they don't get my friendship. I find your standards to be lacking, as for most high schoolers, it was their parents cash, not their own cash.
