At my nieces school, boys have started to get watches instead of rings.

Our pep rallies were segregated by grad classes and a spirit award for the best class at the end. Though it was pretty clear there was some politics and it was rigged toward the seniors. The class of 2000 had a one-note chant just "Oh" "Oh" "Oh" "Oh" building and building. It was pretty good

And is this really important?


Nope not really. Just sitting around on a rainy day reminiscing about my senior year experience since my oldest is about to experience hers. Wondering what other traditions was out there since my HS ‘a tradition isn’t something that’s done where we live at now. I thought some of y’all may have had interesting traditions that I have not heard of.

Y’all don’t have to participate but a message board stay afloat off conversations.

Yep, I forgot about “locking it in”.

I never hit underclassmen with my ring and have never heard of the turning tradition.

Mine would have been 85 times I guess so I'm glad I didnt know about it.

I wonder what the class of 2000 did - was it 0 turns or 100??

No wonder I’ve never heard of this, it’s a boomer thing

We had this tradition, but until this moment, it had been erased from my mind for the past 20 years
