Our jirdf Cfadd ing History does not tell us the exact period of the origin of finger rings, but they have been found in the ancient tombs of Egypt dating back to the eighteenth dynasty. They have been molded in different metals, but pure gold is generally accept- ed with or without precious stones or designs. They were seldom worn as an article of adornment. The United States Military Academy at West Point is accepted as the first American school to use rings as a sign of common recognition. Finger rings represent a glorious heritage practiced throughout the world. Herschel V. jenkins High School follows the traditional pattern of American schools and stand- ardizes its first graduate class ring for five years. Authentic symbols of the Southern American Indian sign language have been used be- cause the students are known as Indian Warriors. The signs were selected because of their signifi- cance which parallels the aims, goals, ideals and achievements of the Herschel V. Alenkins High School graduate. The Art Department spent many hours in re- search and study to create an original ring for us. The designs that were used are illustrated on the division pages of the Sequoyah. May these symbols of deep truths and meanings be imprinted in the lives of each Herschel V. len- kins High School graduate to perpetuate and radi- ate beams of high idealistic influences, thus mak- ing the world a better place because they played a part.
