Q:  When was the DHS class ring designed?

A:  The Davidson High School ring was designed by a committee representing the Class of 1963 in its junior year.  The contract was awarded to the Balfour Company.  It is a gold ring with black onyx.  On the shank of the ring is the Davidson Warrior emerging in full splendor from an arrowhead design.  On the other side is the traditional lamp of learning and the open book.  Under the book is the Latin inscription "Lux et veritas", which means "Light and Truth".  On the crown, around the stone, is written in Old Text letters, "Davidson, Mobile".  The arrowhead with raindrops in the four corners of the ring are Indian symbols for success and happiness. The impress of the pine needles and pinecone relates the Davidson ring to the Gulf Coast area.
