What’s the exact wording on the form? I’m guessing it wants your graduation year.

The form is probably asking what distinct high school class you are in.
That is the same thing as the Year you Graduate.
If you are graduating next May, then it would be 2009.

Besides graduation year (since you said it was not that), my only other guess would be if you were part of some kind of special group of students. Maybe an honor roll or something? Scholarship federations?

Why not ask your classmates (who are ordering the same ring) what it means?

jdogg's avatar

Do you think maybe it’s the year you ordered and recieved your rings? I graduate in 2011 but the options only go up to 2009. Non of my sophmore friends no either

(jdogg_ maybe you need a little more English before your graduation…received, none, know…or perhaps it’s iPhone’s fault.)

How about asking your homeroom teacher, class advisor, or dean?

You sure you’re supposed to be filling this thing out? Usually class rings are only ordered by seniors.

yah iPod touch auto correct was the second worst invention to mankind and I don’t think I’m too bad at English because I have a 3.8 gpa in literature and English but then again we live in a town that’s small so English isn’t hard.

@lefteh for seniors there are. ”“graduation” rings. Dumb to to waste a $1000 on rings if you ask me… 1 is good enough

fireside's avatar

Ohhhh, so if you’re going to be getting another one of these next year and then a graduation ring senior year, then i would make sure this year’s ring says 2008 or 2009, probably 2009.

Completely agree with not wasting the money on the rings. I have a graduation ring somewhere in a box. Can’t imagine why you would need more than one old thing stuck in a box somewhere…

Why does the size of the town make the English easier?
Do you use less of it since there aren’t as many people around?

@fireside public education in miniscule cruddy towns like mine where about 70% of our towns citizens are over the age of 50 there is insufficient funds to our schools (one reason why we only have 1 k-3, 2 4–5, 1 6–8 and 2 highschools in our whole county.

Stick around here, kiddo. You will learn, according to your druthers, how to use the language beautifully or how to massacre it. If you plan to attend college, I suggest the former. (And age had nothing to do with it, you rude youngster, you:-( )

Where’s home and what’s the population? You can enrich yourself by reading independently on any subject.

@gail just wanted to apologize if I offended you and if took it as if I thought the town was cruddy because of the majority of senoirs thats not what i meant in our town they need to have some activitys and attractions(all we have is a movie theatre, a bowling alley, and a pool) for younger people so there is an increase in youth which will in turn, increase the economy of our town

jdogg; As I keep saying, I am never really offended at anything. But some others over 50 may be. MY town has a movie theatre and a bowling alley but no pool. The difficulty for me here is seeing the Mccain-Palin signs sprouting on unexpected lawns.

jdogg's avatar

I’m sorry I really didn’t understand the part of the last comment about McCain an palin. Can you ellaborate??

gailcalled's avatar

It is scary to see families (who I know are feeling a terrible economic pinch and practically ready to get their begging bowls) out supporting McC and Palin. I don’t understand it and it upsets me. Other than that, I love living in a very small, normally friendly town.

Voting based on gut reactions to lynchpin issues, without an investigation of the full implications, is the real tragedy of democracy…

Better education and a focus on critical thinking would definitely make the voting process more honest
but then that’s no way to keep down the masses, is it?
