Up for grabs is a class ring made by alumnus Paul Reuben “Pee Wee Herman” for the 30th reunion of California Institute of the Arts CALARTS in Valencia. Paul Ruben’s was the chairman of the reunion committee. The ring is in used condition and shows signs of wear. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions. 

A "class ring" given by actor Paul Reubens (Pee-wee Herman) to attendees of California Institute of the Arts' 30th Anniversary Alumni Reunion in 2000. Reubens, who studied theatre at CalArts from 1971 to 1975, chaired the reunion committee.

"CalArts never had a homecoming — or a football team," Reubens told the L.A. Daily News. "That's the joke. The event was a full-scale spoof on the homecoming tradition."

Highlights included carnival rides, a fireworks display and a midnight pool party, and participants took home a Jostens-style ring that Reubens ordered from Brad Oldham, a metalwork sculptor in Dallas, Texas.

"Cal Arts • Valencia" appears around a center stone (composition unknown). One side features icons representative of theatre, music and dance, along with the date, 1970, which was the year CalArts opened at a temporary campus in Burbank. The other side features icons representing drafting, film/video, writing (critical studies) and art (painting), along with the current date, 2000. The inside reads: "Designed by Brad Oldham for Paul Reubens."
