If there was another place to get your Josten or ArtCarved Senior rings, I wouldn't know where.
Koon's Jewelry, during the summer after our junior year (or was it before our junior year?), was THE place to begin what was probably the first senior year tradition - the ordering of our senior class ring.
My stone of choice was pink.
What? You gotta problem with pink? Dude, I wore pink suspenders for my senior pic... pink was not a problem for me.
We each got to choose a stone color, as well as a design for both sides of the ring. One side most often displayed a school activity - football, volleyball, basketball, cheer, or in my case, band.
Now, all you have left to do is find a gal to wrap yarn around it (or get a corn pad) and wear it proudly on her finger. Guys, get out your herringbone necklace so you can hang your sweetheart's ring, declaring to many - who really couldn't care less - your dating status.
No significant other? No problem. Just turn your class ring around - stone facing inward - and thump a lower classman on the head.
By the way... have you lost your class ring? Look here.

Here's a little bonus pic for you that I scanned out of my dad's 1965 junior yearbook.
