With the absence of a graduating class in the Spring of 1963, it was decided by the junior class officers to initiate a new tradition: Junior Ring Dance. This tradition lives on at Maine Maritime Academy today. At the end of each academic year, the junior class, having received their class rings, attend a ceremony and dance honoring the rich history of the MMA class ring. During the ceremony the history of the class ring is explained and each junior comes forward to have her/his ring washed in sea water. Ring Dance is sponsored by the junior class who begin raising money for the event during the fall of their freshman year. Tickets: https://commerce.cashnet.com/mmaempay?itemcode=EM-SS-RING2.
