Members of the Westridge class of 2019 recently received their school rings as part of the Ring Ceremony, a tradition that dates back to 1936. The event fosters excitement and contemplation for juniors looking forward to their senior year as leaders of the school, and for current seniors preparing to move on to the next phase of their lives.
Westridge school rings bear two important symbols — the Ivy and the Lamp. The ivy represents faithfulness and loyalty, the lamp of knowledge represents the key to a productive life.
Each year before the ceremony, a cake is baked for the junior class. The student who finds a ring in her piece of cake becomes the Mistress of the Rings, and she receives the first ring and presents a rose to each of her classmates as they receive their rings. This year’s Mistress of the Rings was Iyla Rossi.
