The Mark Of A Winner The excitement of ordering class rings thrills many ACHS students every year. Though they are expensive, no one will be without one. They charac- terize the individual character and per- sonal taste of their owners. Each ring contains a colorful stone. The student chooses from a selection of various cuts, sizes, and settings. On each ring is a select-a-side which is for the stu- dent to place the emblem of his choice. The rings are set in either gold, white gold, or silver. The cost of the ring depends on the choice of setting, cut, etc. This year the prices ranged from $55.00 to about $168.00. One of the most ex- pensive rings was ordered by Bruce Willis, who selected many of the op- tions offered. The price of gold has caused the price of the gold rings to almost double from those of last year. Jostens came to take orders early this year. This was also because of the ris- ing price of gold. The sales representa- tive from Jostens, where the rings were ordered, was Mr. Jerry Bush. He stat- ed, By ordering the rings in April in- stead of February this year, each stu- dent who ordered a 10k gold ring saved about $46.00. A class ring is symbolic of many things. It symbolizes the graduation of a student from high school and the activities that he participated in while he was in high school. It symbolizes its owner, a winner. He is a winner be- cause he has completed the task of a good education. He is a winner be- cause he has endured the hard years of growing up and is now a young adult. He is ready to begin his future. To freshmen and sophomores, class rings are something to look forward to. To juniors and seniors they are some- thing to cherish for a very long time.
