 Ours wasn't that big of a deal to get a class ring. The letterman's jacket is what you wanted to hang all your awards on, whatever activities or sports you were in. And I remember buying my own letterman jacket, and I want to say that because they were wool, and mine was kind of fancier with a flap on the back. But I had to buy it with my own money, and I think at that time it was like $125, which was a lot of money. My parents bought each one of us our letterman jacket, although my parents, since I played. Your parents didn't have seven children.
