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

Pep rallies tiad an extra toucti of excitement for ttiis class, since ttiis was ttie first year ttiey could tiave varsity ctieerleaders and football players. See- ing classmates Candy Hanson. Becky Gibbs, and Kelly McMillan leading cheers intensified the spirit of these students. Also deserving credit were the soph- omore majorettes. Lisa Keaton. Dana Woodard, and Tammy Owens, who livened up pep rallies and foot- ball games during the past season. This happy-go-lucky class seems to be able to pull themselves through any situation, but much of their success this past school year must be attributed to their sponsors. Due to the size of this class, they were alotted four homeroom teachers instead of the normal three. Thus they had four sponsors who proved to be a great help in all the classes undertak- ings They were Mrs. Linda Basye. Mrs. Mary John Snead. Mrs Nell Leggett, and Mr Gary Godfrey. The class of ' 83 has deep respect and admiration for these fine teachers and extends its appreciation for the support given by them which helped make this year in high school super.
