In American schools,there is something called Homecoming Day(校友返校曰).Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a Homecoming game. This can be the most important thing of the year except the graduation ceremony. Students plan for Homecoming Day many weeks in advance (预先).

Several days before Homecoming Day,students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish good luck to the team and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming Day twenty or thirty years after their graduation.

The members of some school clubs build booths(摊位)and sell lemonade,apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome the visitors.

During the day,people like to look for teachers whom they still remember. They often see old friends and 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 Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student as 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. However,if the team loses,the students still enjoy Homecoming. Some stay at school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.
