If a person is not interested when classmates meet, but, suddenly, at one moment he wants to see them again, he will not even know when it can be done. It is impossible to say exactly what date the alumni meeting will be in 2024, because the dates change every year. This is due to old traditions that are observed not only in Moscow, St. Petersburg or other large cities, but even in villages and villages.
What date is the meeting night
Most often, the evening of meetings falls on the first Saturday of February. In 2024, this is number 2. At the very beginning of the month, all former graduates will be able to meet for the second, third or fourth time after graduation.
When will the graduation party next year, you can check on the official website of the school. Now all educational institutions are required to publish all information on their portal. Usually, the announcement of an upcoming event is in the "header" or in the events section.
Why it takes place in February
The tradition of holding an informal holiday on a certain date in February came from village schools. When young people left to study at the university, their winter session ended around January. In February, the holidays began, and then it would be interesting to go home, meet old friends again and have fun.
Gradually the tradition passed to the whole country and people of different ages. Not only students, but also adults meet at the end of winter and spend time together.
In the State Duma at one time they wanted to establish an official single date for this event. The initiative did not take off. An attempt to make something state out of an informal evening was met with hostility and the bill was quickly curtailed.
How the evening of meetings is spent
On the website of the school or university publish the date, start time and official invitation for everyone who studied. For famous students and students who have achieved prominent success, they can even send people to say everything in person. After that, preparations for the event begin.
Usually, the official part is held in the assembly hall. There, a concert is held in a semi-formal setting, the director and teachers give speeches, and then people disperse into free classes.
Different former graduates compete for the attention of teachers. Including already quite old. If you manage to pull out your class teacher, this is already an achievement.
The focus is on anniversaries - everyone who graduated from school 5-15 years ago. These are still young people who can already start showing off their successes. The atmosphere is almost always competitive: who has achieved what and what can tell.Retired teachers sometimes come to the holiday, but they need a separate invitation.
The dress code is formal. No one will understand if one of the people comes not in a suit, but in jeans and a T-shirt. In addition, everyone is trying to show their best, so a person in casual attire will stand out a lot.
Who collects former classmates
There have always been activists in the last class or study group who, even after graduation, try to bring people together. Usually they are engaged in such organizations, calling up teachers and trying to call as many former students as possible. Separately, they can order a restaurant so that people can meet in an informal setting.
Sometimes people prepare special programs - they perform on stage with some kind of their number. It always looks a little comical, but contributes to the atmosphere and immersion.
After the events, part of the audience leaves, while the other continues to have fun. Usually these are the most active people who attend such meetings every year. They book a restaurant and a bar, or simply come to familiar places. The official parts of the events are also held in the auditoriums. Few people refuse to sit at their desk again or even take a playful lesson.
During the school holiday, the main thing is to create a certain atmosphere. So that people give up the competitions that accompany such meetings a little, and again plunge into the atmosphere of youth. The best years of your life spent at your desk are sure to leave a lasting impression.
