In American schools there is something called Home-coming Day. Many high
schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be
the most important event of the year except graduation(毕业) or commencement(授奖典礼) day. Students plan homecoming day for many weeks in advance(预先).
Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate(装饰) the school. There are signs to wish
luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many
people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
The members of school clubs build booths(摊位) and sell lemonade, apples
and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.
During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from
long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy
years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over,
the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important
moment is when the Home-corning Queen or King appears. All the students vote
a most popular student Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be
chosen.
Homecoming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team
wins the game. Even if the team loses, the students still enjoy Homecoming.
Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is
a day worth remembering.
