It's getting harder and harder, especially if you are planning on buying a gold ring. Since the price of gold tripled in 1980, gold school rings now cost almost twice as much as they did last year. But did this price increase stop ju- niors from buying gold rings? No, I bought gold because it looks nicer, says Stephanie Sherin. On the other hand, several juniors chose an alternative to paying high prices, Balfour, Randallstown's ring distributor, offered the ring in other metals, such as stainless steel-a new option-and sterling silver, for con- siderably less money. Rings made in metals other than gold are a practical 4Even though only 70 percent of the class bought rings -75 percent of them gold-the tradition of turning rings, demonstrated by Dari Marder and Allison Friedman, remained. 160!Brogan-Conney

Only about half of the 2.5 million class rings sold in the United States this year were gold. For several reasons, some juniors decided not to buy a high school ring. The high price was the main reason. Secondly, some do not view the ring as a necessity, they feel high school can easily be remembered without a ring. And others would rather spend their money on a college ring. For the second consecutive year, juniors had no ring ceremony. This upset and angered many juniors: I don't like the idea of no ring ceremo- ny because the ceremony would add some spirit and fun to the junior class, states Michael Paskoff. Tammy Greenspun adds, I was furi- ous! Our class advisors said we didn't want one but they never asked us! They figured since there wasn't one last year, we shouldn't have one this year! PBecause she has just arrived at RHS as a Kenyan exchange student, senior Naima Baghozi places a late order for a Balfour class ring. Lisa Wolfe has a different opinion on this matter: I don't really think it mattered. I guess the rings wouldlve been more meaningful with a ceremony, but the ceremony isn't the most important part of getting school rings. When asked to comment on the outlook on ring prices and sales for the next year, juniors offered diverse views: The rings next year will be less expensive because gold's going down. Next year's juniors will want rings for the same reason We did, is the opinion of Steve Cercy. Lisa Wolfe, however, feels next year's - of - 3 f f Steven Cercy Denise Chandler Michael Charikofsky Cary Chavis Michelle Chester Uh Chin Weyland Chin Morag Chisholm Sam Chmar Stacy Chodosh Lisa Christ Gary Clark Todd Clem Jim Clements Camille Coates Danny Cohen Jeffrey Cohen Gary Cohen Lisa Cohen Michael Cohen Karole Cole Robert Collins Cheryl Connelly Darryl Conney rings will be much more expensive and there will be even less people buyingf' Juniors basically agree that the ring's sentimental value is worth the money. As the years go by, you'll have something to look back on. It's a part of high school and remember- ing what went on there, comments Steve Cercy. Overall, the ring is worth it fthe pricejf' says Lisa Wolfe. It means a lot to me. Renee Pintzuk sums up her gener- al feelings about rings by stating, Anyway, it's the memories-not the metal-thatls important.
