1978 NHS Class Ring Found

Posted on November 5, 2020 by Webmaster

We received this message from a person in Newark who is trying to find the owner of a 1978 Newark High class ring which her father found.

If you lost your ring downtown around Delaware Avenue. Main Street, or the surrounding area, please Contact Us and we will put you in touch with Cindy.

Cindy Wrote:

Quite a few years ago, while out on a walk, my dad found a Newark High School class ring from 1978. We looked through a yearbook and there were no graduates that year with the initials that were inscribed. Perhaps the person ordered the ring but didn’t graduate? Anyway, I still have the ring and I would love to return it to it’s rightful owner. If you or someone you know lost their 1978 NHS class ring, please DM me the initials and birthstone and I’ll see that it’s returned to the owner. Thanks!  

So if you think this ring might be yours, please Contact Us and we will forward it to Cindy.

Thanks
NHS Class of 78
