Tell about your senior year in high school. Were there any special traditions such as getting a senior ring? Were there lots of activities and parties as you neared graduation? Were you in any extra-curricular activities that had traditional "rites of passage" or "passing the baton" too the next class? Were awards given out - either serious or fun? Did you send out graduation announcements? Did your school have a Baccalaureate Service in addition to the graduation ceremony? If you attended church, did your church recognize/honor Seniors in any way? Did you keep your tassel - did you hang it from the mirror of your car or do something else special with it? What sorts of things did you get for graduation gifts? Was it a tradition to display the gifts in your home?
I didn't have a senior year. I left to homeschool via correspondence and then due to being the only one available to be the primary caregiver for an aged relative I ended up merely getting my GED (without studying one lick---I'm not impressed, it was incredibly easy). This is actually a reunion year for my class.
And for the record, and to be a complete snob, I never understood class rings. They're ugly and expensive. Maybe it's because I'm not a ring person (I don't wear my wedding rings, it's impractical with my life and line of work).
