I don't know about all that. The only time I turned my ring was when I used it to bop the head of unsuspecting freshman, as was my right and duty.

Didn’t get a ring. Even teenager me knew high school rings were dumb and I would never wear it

Yes. We even got a thing from Balfour that came with our ring for each person to sign that turned your ring.

I recall some ring turning tradition, but I’m not sure if I participated or if there was any count involved.

Still have the ring in a safe deposit box. My nephew can sell it for weed money after I croak.

Do your kids go to High School in Jefferson Parish?

I did, and this was a tradition there but I only made it to 5 turns and then bailed out of the yatriarchy.

I don’t remember this being a tradition. But I graduated high school 35 years ago so maybe it was and I’ve forgot. And I lost my class ring somewhere in Germany not long after so I really haven’t thought about my class ring much since then.

No, sounds like a Texas thing that everyone else thinks is completely mental, like mums

Thought I lost mine until I sold my truck and found it under the seat 10 years later
