Le Roy Plante Gregory Polanski Michael Reha Michelle Reichert Erin Renneisen Mary Robertson Bradley Rogers Theresa Rosa Fad or Tradition Gold, silver or alloy? Style? Birthstone? They are a few of the questions Juniors have to answer before they buy a class ring. The $80$ 125 price tag makes class rings a major purchase for most students, one that requires some thought and perhaps some budgeting too. Some people may ask themselves, ' Why buy a ring at all? Is it another expensive fad or just an old fashioned tradition? Class rings were first worn by the 1835 graduates of West Point Military Academy. They were later adopted by other colleges and finally became popular in high schools. While wearing a class ring may be an old tradition, it is not necessarily an old fashioned one, because the ring represents more than the ability to pay for it. Wearing a De La Salle ring marks the wearer as a proud Islander. Buying a class ring is a hard decision. Sue Eickhoff, Marla Parrott and Peggy Johnson try on some rings for size. Juniors 27
