I never got one, at the time they were $28.00 and my family couldn't afford one, never thought I missed out on much. I still have my Mother's class ring in its little case, dated 1925.
While at basic training, I bought one of those cheesy USAF rings with the fake blue stone in it, found out a little later you could not wear rings while working on aircraft so it's still in the back of a drawer somewhere.

I left mine on the school shop sink. It was gone when I looked for it.
Maybe, 30 dollars.

Nope…I don’t wear jewelry other than my wedding ring. I got my letterman’s jacket in my freshman year iirc but that was it for me.
If I had gone to a military academy I’d get a class ring but otherwise I don’t really see the point. School is for learning and leaving, it’s a necessary evil in many cases.
Some people peak in high school or college. Those people never reach the level of “notoriety” that they received in school so they become perpetually stuck in their glory days.
Nowadays class rings are not nearly as popular as they used to be but I can understand why one would want one if they went to an Ivy league school or military academy. Unfortunately in the conservative circles I run in a class ring from a liberal institution is hardly something to brag about and definitely something you don’t want to advertise….unless it’s from a military academy. 😬

My Jostens ring was white gold. Paid +/-$34 for it. Sold it for scrap 7-8 years later for $110. Damn good investment.

No ring here.
Graduated early, didn't even walk. Sat up in the bleachers watching. Probably drinkin' or some such with the other cool kids.
Wouldn't have gotten one anyway, as by that time I knew I wasn't going to wear rings. Buddy almost lost a finger in a motorcycle wreck when the ring he was wearing caught on a barbwire fence. His passenger was not as lucky, she lost a part of a leg when the car hit them.

Nope..
Didn't feel the need for one or HS Photo for the year book. Never even brought it up with my parents.
Class of 210. Class 1981 OTHS Probably about 40 45 of us shunned that schit for various reasons. Wouldn't let none of the nerds on the year book commitee take our pics for the year book either. Last known pic of me would be In a 1980 yr book home room class pic Jr year.
Now the ironic thing is little miss Indian princess Khanarella was the winter carnival queen 1980 and miss head honcho on the 1980 yearbook commitee. 1st in things that don't count to me. HS was a stage to get thru and move the fuuuk on from for me. Had a great time in high school.
Me and my buds called Khanarella back then the Ice Princess jokingly..
Didn't realize I would marry her 13 yrs later. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣 God has a twisted sense of humor.....

I was HS class of 1969. Bought the ring but don’t remember the cost. Haven’t seen it in 50 years.

I'm surprised no one girl friend kept it.

About $75 in 1974. I was near the end of my 10th grade year and 11th graders were ordering theirs. The representative from the company selling them pointed out that gold was expected to go up significantly in a few months. Normally you couldn't order through the school until the end of 11th grade and get it when school started your senior year.
They let us order and prepay a year early to get a better price. The kids in the grade behind me paid closer to $200 for theirs.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
