For seven days straight, students engage in a plethora of events and activities to suit everyone ' s taste, all in the name of school spirit. The highlights of this years Homecoming were many. TSG ' s Community Service committee kicked off the week with the Seniors ' Prom, an afternoon of food and dancing with many of the senior citizens in our surrounding community. Along with Philadelphia Cares Day, an initiative to help improve the city ' s public schools, there was the Campus Safety 5K Run 1 -Mile Fun Walk. The annual Fall Fest is the main event of Homecoming week for most students. Live music blasted from the Bell Tower as student organizations, food vendors, and carnival games lined Liacouras, Berks Mall and 1 3 Street. The following day, there was a Polo Denim Jeans Drive and the Res Hall Relays. Then came the Pep Rally - the prelude to the football game on Saturday. This year, as always. Temple ' s ■Homecoming was filled with pride and enthusiasm for our great school. - Megan Smith
