Senior Class Gift

Bell Towers

Bell TowersYour senior year. This is the staging ground for the rest of your life. This is when the finishing touches adorn your education in preparation for what comes next. This is an exciting time when you realize the dramatic influence your alma mater has made in your life. Whether it's high school or college, your education, your teachers and your community of classmates have helped shape you into the person you are today. Indeed, your alma mater has earned its place of importance.

So now, as you look into the future with the desire of leaving your mark on the world, would it not be gratifying to leave your mark on the school that has already left its mark on you? To leave something of yourself behind as a testament to your appreciation and a kind gesture of inspirational good will. That is the origin of the senior class gift; it is a tangible expression of your gratitude. It is an opportunity to say "thank you" time and again, well after you've moved on and left your humble beginnings.

Bell TowersBut it's more than just that. As you graduate, you leave behind your younger classmates who looked up to you for guidance and inspiration. Whether you realize it or not, you have played an important role in their education and development. The senior class gift is an opportunity to show that, although you have physically left, you have not abandoned them and continue to play an inspirational role. And that role is offered, time and again, to all future classes as a precedence of appreciation, generosity and success.

Bell TowersWhen choosing your senior class gift, you want it to be strikingly noticed and preferably useful. This gift will be a representative of your senior class for ages to come; for that role, you want the perfect envoy. Christoph Paccard has two ideal suggestions for such an important gift.

One of our custom two face or four face postclocks, permanently mounted in a central gathering area or courtyard location with your class year in lettering on the header or dial face, would serve as a constant reminder of the class that donated it. Public clocks, such as these, served a historically important role in the shaping of ancient societies, when personal means of telling time were virtually non-existent. They were the anchor that allowed a society to commune, schedule and grow. Likewise, your school is the anchor from which your career will blossom. Our elegant custom clocks would serve as a symbolically beautiful gesture of appreciation for the foundation your school has laid for you.

Bell TowersSecondly, one of our custom cast bronze bells with your class year and school logo would be a melodic beacon of gratitude. With each strike, these bells emanate an inspirational tone, capable only from a company with seven generations of family commitment to its craft. Whether mounted on a mobile bellframe and being rung to celebrate touchdowns or some other event, or mounted on a beautiful wood stand with a mallet to call a gathering to order, our custom bells will resonantly remind every student of their predecessor's gratitude for their education and likewise inspire future appreciation. As with our clocks, your custom cast bronze bell can be engraved with your class's dedication, so that your senior class year will be forever etched into your school's history.
