Girls' Senior High School ──Homecoming Day──

The first "Homecoming Day," inviting graduates to the October Festival, was held. While alumnae are welcome to visit the high school anytime, the October Festival—where they once played active roles—offers a unique annual opportunity to see the school in action. This year, we invited the 30th and 31st graduating classes, and nearly an entire grade's worth of alumnae gathered. For that day only, in addition to the current 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-year students, a slightly older group of "4th-year high schoolers" was born. Individually, they are now accomplished adult women, but when two or three gathered, a chemical reaction occurred, and they reverted to their high school selves. To put it politely, they were lively; in reality, the atmosphere was so filled with excitement that the moderator's pleas of "Please be quiet!" were completely drowned out. Throughout the campus, these "4th-year students" could be seen reminiscing about the past, seeing their former selves in the energetic juniors working hard to make the October Festival a success.
