Description
Summary:ring n . . . young people took part in "rings" as a substitute for regular dancing. Younger children also played"rings" at school recess-time, and at the picnics. But the teenagers, and the older marriageable youths, were the main participants at the picnics, and the "times". Two "rings" my informants remembered playing were "King William was King George's Son" and "Jolly Miller" and a popular"ring game" was "Catch the Third". DNE-cit MAY 1973 W.K.
