Look at mine. looK at mine Rings Around the Dollar Mike McCay George Moorehouse Brian Parker Djuna Phillips Denise Presley Dennis Presley Brenda Price Oneonta students started ttie practice of wearing gold class rings longer ago than most of us can remember. In recent years sweethearts at Oneonta have exchanged such rings as a symbol of going steady. Now the price of the precious yellow metal is killing the golden tradition. Even with this nsing cost about 55% of Oneonta ' s Junior class opted for gold when ordering their class rings. With the price of boy ' s class rings about S224, and girls around SI 45, thrifty young lovers are turning to cheaper sentiment — stainless-steel rings, costing S50 to SI 00. In an attempt to retain some glamour, manufacturers have given the alloys exotic trade names like Ultrium and Celestrium. Salesmen now proudly point out that the gold substitutes resist tarnish or dents and will not leave rings around the finger. Remember: It ' s the memories — not the metal — that count
