How many people bought class rings from high school? I always thought it was a waste of money personally, just like letter jackets. Who actually wears them out of high school?

I also thought that class rings were a waste of money. I mean, what can they do besides look pretty? Letter jackets, on the other hand, keep you warm. I got my jacket in seventh grade, two years before going to high school.

a class ring is a token as a high school student you can buy that has your "birthstone", your initials, and your school mascot...maybe even more, but it is typically quite gaudy and expensive...
