Definition: A homecoming where we welcome back students who used to attend to a school/college . It is a tradition because it usually happens on October or September.   Homecoming started since the early 1910s. Baylor University had the idea but didn’t use it. The first homecoming event was by Illinois in 1910. In a match between Tigers and Jay Hawks, the director Chester Brewer said to come home, where a lot of former students went.This tradition of homecoming spread throughout the country. We celebrate because we celebrate it to those who used to go to the school. And we also celebrate it to show our school spirit. We call it homecoming because it originated from what Chester Brewer said. He said come home to former students,, which means to go visit the school you came from. It changed to homecoming, meaning almost the same thing. Even though many schools have their own tradition, most of the time there is a game, then there is a semi-formal game. There is sometimes a parade to celebrate those former students.

I say homecoming is very good to those students who went to that school. It shows how we still honor former students.
