In reply to the discussion: Did you buy a high school class ring? (Or did your parents buy you one) [View all]pipi_k

My mom bought me my HS (Class of 1970) ring, which I wore even after graduation, and which I lost in 1978 on a hayride while tossing hay around with others in the group.
It flew off my finger and landed who knows where. Maybe by now someone with a metal detector has found it, or maybe 100 years from now someone will find it, look in the old yearbook, and identify its previous owner using my engraved initials as a clue.

OP
No, but then my identity wasn't wrapped up in my school and I thought they were a bit ugly.

Nope! The last year of high school I completed was grade nine. I was expelled in grade 10.
