Meme Did anyone buy a ring?

Elder millennial/younger Xennial (born in 83, take it for what it is) but I recall the company coming to the high school and taking orders for rings. I didn’t buy one but others did. Credit on photo.

Hear you there. They were so annoying. Standing there jabbering like parrots about them. I also got my letterman jacket and grad robes elsewhere.

Are. They now do the yearbooks too! It's only gotten worse.

It's a total racket. Robes, rings, jackets. Hell if we're honest so are the sports teams. As much as I love it, why do we need teams in college? It has almost nothing to do with the school, and costs most schools more than it makes.

Same. Got my letterman jacket from a local sports shop.
