After 125 years, all those connected to Temple University have helped to create this rich history. Prom the first class of only seven students in 1884 to our current graduating class of thousands, students have come and gone from our campus. We all manage to take a little something from it, but more importantly we all leave something behind and that is Temple University...

Radom lie, Wilson, and students watt Tt Snoi Imagine waking up at 9:30am, attending an Intellectual Heritage class at 10:10, followed by a rally with Jay Z arounc 12:30, a hotdog eating contest in the Student Center at 2pm, statistics class at 3:30, then ending the day with a 7:30pm free movie premier at the Reel. If this schedule seems unreal, then you are not a Temple Student. Only at Temple University can the words education and enjoyment be used interchangeably. From its beginning, in 1884, Temple has strived to provide its students with an excellent education in a pleasurable and engaging environment. Although the college life consists of writing 12-page papers and final exams, it is also filled with the opportunity to make unforgettable memories with friends along the way. For years, Temple has helped shaped these many memories with events such as Welcome Week, Homecoming, and Spring Fling. Along with these annual events, each year presents a new phenomenon, adding to Temple's memories archive. This year, students will always remember when and where they were when the Philadelphia Phillies won the 2008 World Championship, and the historical election of Barack Obama as the next president of the United States. These are just a few of the exciting memories that Temple has provided for its students and there are many more to come!

TempleFest. an outdoor festival on Liacouras Walk, provided new students with information on organizations, campus departments, Diamond Dollars, and more. The highly anticipated Farewell to Summer party kicked off at the Bell Tower with music, giveaways and activities -- even a slip and slide! Later that night, students enjoyed a free concert by New Found Glory and Common! From beginning to end, Welcome Week was filled with plenty of music, food, games, and giveaways. Many of the new freshmen enjoyed a day of shopping in South Philly, where they were able to purchase essentials for college living at Wal-Mart. Target, and IKEA. Welcome Week came to a delicious end with a 100 Ft. Banana Split, filled with enough chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream for all! Freshman student Meagan Prescott thinks Welcome Week 2008 was done very well She stated, Welcome Week made the transition into college a little bit easier. The extra things, like the carnivals and bands playing, made all us freshman feel like we had made the right decision. - Kathleen Garvin icJ'jJjjj Above: Students begin their Spring Fling on Liacouras Walk There is one day each school year that never fails to garner the attention of students and teachers alike. With an all-day abundance of giveaways, games, food and music, Spring Fling is the time of the year when students can be seen outside roaming the tables and booths that line the campus perimeters. Beginning in the late 1970s, Spring Fling is a Temple tradition that has lasted more than 30 years. Today, the annual event is held during a weekday late in the school year after Spring Break and right before finals. This years festivites took place on Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Whether students choose to attend classes or sit along Beury Beach enjoying the festivities, there is, and will always be, fun to be had at Spring Fling! - Katheleen Garvin Above: Students taking a stab at fencing.

The Friday line up included an early afternoon pep rally around the Bell Tower, the Homecoming Parade, Net Night, and the highly anticipated Nas Concert. The fun did not end there! On game day, thousands of Temple students, alumni, and staff came out to the afternoon tailgate in preparation for Temple Owls game against the Western Michigan Broncos. Although the Owls suffered a close loss of 7-3, the infamous fight song T for Temple U rang through the stadium and into the streets proving that Temples spirit never dies.

On October 16th, 2008, Phillies fans on Temple's campus celebrated as their number one team secured their place in the World Series. After a long season, fans could finally let out a sigh of relief. For the next few days the only concern growing was over which team the Phillies would be playing. Would it be the Tampa Rays or the Boston Red Sox? Fast forward to the World Series... In the 9th inning of the 5th game, Eric Hinske of the Rays stepped up to the batters box. Two strikes later, fans everywhere held their breath. Its a swing and a miss. Game over. Phillies win the World Series! As fans jumped out of seats, chairs, couches, off the floor, and their beds, the celebration began. Thousands of people including Temple students raced to City Hall, leaving Broad Street a trampled mess. It was madness, said freshman Kelsey Ulrich. Phinally. This one word does manage to sum up the feelings of many fans, but there may be five that do it better.

Photo by Elizabeth Hanson The time leading up to Tuesday, November 4, 2008 proved to be a momentous occasion for American citizens everywhere. An assortment of firsts occured during this historical Presidential campaign: It was the first time two sitting senators ran against each other, the first time a female Republican was appointed to be the Vice Presidential candidate, and the first time an African American was elected President. Political and non-partisan groups helped raise awareness on campus. Some set up booths around the Bell Tower to sell bumper stickers and pins for their candidate of choice, while others walked around campus, registering students to vote. In the end, youth voter turnout, and turnout in general, was higher than in the previous presidential election. The Temple community worked together to raise interest and information among students, and register some individuals for the first time. This election was so exciting because Temple University organizations urged students to register on campus as a challenge from Temple Student Government. After a long and emotionally involved campaign, the American people spoke on November 4, 2008, and Democratic nominee, Barack Obama, was elected the 44th President of the United States. - Kathleen Garvin Photo by Bobby Orloski lizabeth Hanson at the Democratic National Convention.

I like doing the group fitness, such as Aerobics. What is your favorite thing to do at the IBC? - Nick H All photos by Tekara Gainey Temples Fitness program has many options to keep students active and in shape. Whether a student prefers playing tennis at the pavilion, running on the outdoor track, or using the free weights at the IBC, the opportunity to buff up is always there. With classes such as Boot Camp and Hip Hop Funk, each student can find the right class to get in shape for his or her interest or body type, while still having fun. Not only does the IBC offer fitness classes but there are also open weight rooms with machines and free weights. The racquetball courts are a popular work-out space for students as well. The IBC, open all day. has its busy times (especially around holidays - Thanksgiving!) but normally the machines and weights are accessible. In Pearson Hall, a pool is available for classes and free swims, giving a healthy aquatic option to students. The fitness facilities are a great addition to campus, helping keep Temple students in top Shape. - Christie Francis Living in the city attracts many students to Temple University each year. Luckily, with six residence halls right on-campus, students have the opportunity to live in a colorful and and only a few steps away from their classes. Peabody and Johnson Hardwick halls are freshman dorms, well known for their sta communal living styles. Students living here have more opportunity to meet people on thei I feel like I wouldn't have met have the people I'm friends with if I had lived in a differeny [with suite style rooms], said freshman Lane Ackerman. 1940 and White Hall are freshman and sophmore residence halls known for their rooms. The location of 1940 and White Hall are what students find convenient about them I like that its [1940] right in the middle of everything, said freshman Val Rubinsky. Hall is on the edge of campus, but freshman Rosie Falco said she likes living at White Hall because its so close to the cafeteria at Johnson and Hardwick and the Rite Aid is right across street. While most upper classmen choose to find housing off-campus in apartments and houses, some upper classmen take the opportunity to live at Temple Towers or 1300. The Temple Towers accommodates upper classmen and transfer students. As all residence halls. 1300 has a fitness room, computer lab, and TV lounge, but what many students find to be the most unique about 1 nn ic the mrw nnmnm ctnro Innatnrt in thn hacpmpnl Time Out for Nails!

When the sun sets for the rest of the world, Temple University remains lit, not only by the light on campus but also the energy of its students. For some students, a typical night involves long hours of studying at the Tech Center, or quiet time at the ever-so-popular Starbucks. For those who do not like the long lines at the Starbucks at the Tech Center, they can now buy their favorite espresso at the Starbucks on Broad St! Students who prefer to take a break from the course load may opt to enjoy some play time at the Game Room, shooting pool, playing poker, or getting a work out on the DDR. Other students might grab a bite to eat at Maxis and partake in karaoke night, or meet with friends at the Draught Horse. Whether it be the movies, free food, or shopping and dining on Avenue North, there is something for everyone to do A- on Temple’s Campus. - Tekara Gainey Photo by Tekara [a Gaine' lo by Tekara Gaine; A great aspect of this school is that Temple's Icampus is not limited to North Philadelphia. Temple also has a Center City Campus, located directly in the middle of one of the largest cities in the nation and only 3 miles away from Main Campus! This allows for students to not only enjoy campus life but also city life simultaneously. Campus Philly discounts allows students to enjoy various cultural and entertainment events in the city for less. Students can expand their historical knowledge about the country by going to the Constitution Center, Liberty Bell, or any of the historical sights in Old City. Students can also enjoy discounted tickets to watch their favorite band play at a nearby lounge or attend First Fridays and view magnificent art in the streets of Philadelphia. Shopping and restaurants galore are also an all-time favorite aspect of the city, for most Temple Students. Conveniently, all of these options are a simple subway ride away. ■ • Tckara Gainey Hfffi ijekar trey.' 1991- Students in the Student Centi 9 ... 9 Ever since it's first class in 1884, Temple has been looking for new and innovative ways for students to enjoy what they are learning. With the new GenEd curriculum started Fall 2008, students are able to explore topics from different perspectives rather it be through Philadelphia art or the society we are living in. Students can now participate in distance learning linking students to teachers through new technology. Looking to the future Temple is expanding its campus with Tyler School of the Arts and Alter Hall for business students. Students are given the opportunity to expand their studies internationally through Temples study aboard programs available in Tokyo, Rome, China and more. Students are given the opportunity to create partnerships and relationships with those with their similar interest through academic organization and Temple honors program. Students can even see Temple career counselors to help assist them with internships and our future graduates, dream jobs. - Joli McTerrell Students in Human Sexuality, a Public Health course, work together and discuss a question in class.

It is also equipped with a computer center and bookstore to help students right in the building. - Christina Desanto 18 Photographs by Tracy Galloway Maddie Hewitt The Tyler School of Art campus, situated in Elkins Park, is where I Temple artists are born. All of the art I majors reside on this campus except B for architecture students. Students learn to be creative while making masterpieces. Sophomore T. Rachel Ignotofsky designed the school bus that transported students back and forth between the Main and Tyler campuses. The Tyler campus moved onto the main campus midway trhough the year, so a shuttle was provided until the new facility was opened. A brand new art school was built for Tyler right on Main Campus with 40% more space then the Elkins Park campus. This will further unite all Temple students and allow even more students to take in the breathtaking artwork produced by Tyler students. - Christina Desanto l Photographs by Tracy Galloway Temple University's Health Sciences Center is home to the College of Health Professions and the Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, and Pharmacy. The campus is located a short distance up Broad Street from Main Campus. Students can take the inter campus shuttle to get to the Health Sciences Center from any campus.

One student said, I love the smaller campus, it's a great way to meet a lot of people since you know everyone! The campus offers one residence hall to live in as well as a fitness center. The campus is also home to Temple's soccer, baseball, and softball teams. - Christina Desanto Photographs from Templar Archives 21 In The Classroom... This year, Temple changed the old core curriculum to a new GenEd program. This program is required in order to complete graduation requirements. These classes are divided into subjects such as the Arts, Human Behavior, Science and Technology, Race and Diversity, and English. Many GenEd courses go beyond the classroom and explore Philadelphia by taking trips to museums and attending theater performances. Left: A new and interesting class: The Chemistry of Wine. This class, taught by Dr. David Dalton and Dr. Robert Levis, explores the scientific aspect of wine and wine making. The class uses many experiments, such as a demonstration that shows the effects of alcohol poisoning on the human body, to show students the many components of alcohol consumption. In one experiment. TA Mike Rheam used Tootsie Rolls as an example of alcohol and its affect on the liver. Below: Students Edward Lennox. Cimone Berman, Marlee Berman, and Noelle Stratton are enzymes trying to breakdown the alcohol (Tootsie Rolls) in the liver as fast as they can. • Christina Desanto Left: A group of students, or a production Professor Timo Saari called it, present their product created specifically for the future of television. This class asks the questions: what kind of programming will students see in the next two years? What role will blogs, vlogs. podcasts, YouTube and other social networks have in transforming television into a medium where consumers drive content? For the past two semesters, the course was taught as Introduction to Production as part of the Broadcast Telecommunication and Mass Media program (BTMM). Now as a GenEd course, the class will allow students from various majors to work together while still studying the idea that television is not going away but how. where and when humans interact with it is changing. . Lara strayer Left: Students in Dr. Jay Lockenour’s War and Peace class present their propaganda group project to the class. This GenEd course explores total war. weapons of mass destruction, and genocide.

This class revolves around how leaders, armies, and the strategies they pursue are rooted in their social and political context. - Lara Strayer Patrice Heller talks to students on issues surrounding human sexuality. This GenEd course addresses the dynamic complexity of human sexuality while exploring the physical, psychological, relational, and cultural aspects of sexuality. The goal of this course is to broaden students perspective of human sexuality, and deepen and awareness of their own sexuality and the many influences on this essential part of life. By talking about such a taboo topic, Professor Heller thinks this will lead to a more personal connection to her students, which is what she believes is the most important part of her teaching. . i_ara Strayer Above: A student examines a mechanical heart valve in Dr. Mohammad Kiani, Dr. George R Baran and Dr Solomon Praveen Samuel's class. The Bionic Human. This class asks the questions: can we replace our worn-out body parts with space-age materials? Will the day come when an injured athlete buys a tendon for the next big game? Why do older adults spend so much time at the doctor? This GenEd course explores bio-engineered technologies for age-, disease-, sports-, and accident-related injuries. Students learn why weight bearing exercise strengthens bones, the difference between MRI, CAT scan, and X-Ray and what employees at the Food and Drug Administration do. - Lara Strayer 23 Study Time...

Students have many places around campus to study such as the Paley Library, the TECH center and the Student Center. Other students prefer to study in their residence hall rooms, lounges or simply pick a nice spot on the grass outside to study. Freshman Kate Tinney said she loves to study in the library because it's quiet and I can concentrate. Outsiders can always tell when exam time has approached because the library and TECH center are overly crowded with students. When students receive good grades in their classes, they feel a sense of accomplishment. That feeling continues to motivate them to study hard, regardless of where or how they go about doing it. - Christina Desanto TIME TO TYPE Brittany Draxler finds a quiet place in the library to work on her laptop. - STAYING ON POINT Andrew Kokinda and Sara McGurk take advantage of a break-out room in the Tech Center to work on a PowerPoint presentation.

The Honors Program at Temple University brings together a group of highly intellectual students that simply love to learn. These students do not just represent one group at Temple; the Honors Program includes students from every major. Students can chose to live in the Honors Wing and truly get to know the other Honors students. By living and learning together, students learn to understand each other's backgrounds. There is an Honors Activity Board which organizes activities such as an Oreo stacking contest, trips to New York and movie nights. These fun social events help the Honors students have a little bit of fun after their classes. Being in the Honors program has many benefits such as smaller classes, personal advising sessions and a tight-knit community. - Christina Desanto Sophomore Michael Donovan relaxes in his room while he finishes his class work.

A crucial part to every student's education is a chance to experience firsthand what they spend hours learning about in classrooms and reading about in text books. Internships give students the opportunity to explore their chosen fields. Hundreds of companies, corporations, and organizations all across the nation open their doors to Temple students who want to further their education outside of the classroom. Even when students are not able to leave campus for their internship, Temple University itself can provide on-campus job experience. Senior Religion major George Keddie gained invaluable experience while working for Temple. Since I aspire to be a professor of religion, working as a liaison for the Religion Department and as a tutor for the Intellectual Heritage Department has familiarized me with the requirements, responsibilities, and initiatives of faculty members as well as the needs and troubles of students, said Keddie. Due to Temple's prime location, size, and credibility, students sporting the Temple T on their resume never have to go far to be able to experience the career they have been working towards. - Leah Stoner Photo courtesy of Ally Martielli HELPING HANDS Grace Obando prepares for a Boyz II Men concert at Penn's Landing during her internship with Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation PART OF THE TEAM Ally Martelli takes a picture with Rob Hill during her internship at the Wachovia Center.

The university also has programs in Japan, Spain, China, Germany, India, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and many more countries. Students can study abroad for only a summer, a semester or stay a whole year in the country of their choice. President Hart even instituted a scholarship program that covers the cost of a student's first time passport fee.

The 2008 season was filled with many ups and downs for the Lady Owls, but the highlight was the power swing of junior Courtney Norene. The Second-Team All Atlantic 10 first baseman led the league with ten home runs this past spring season. She launched her 22nd career home run during a victory against Rhode Island and broke the 21 career record set by Lady Owl Adrienne Repsher during the 2007 season. The victory over Rhode Island marked the fifth game of their winning streak but was soon halted after UMass defeated the Lady Owls. Despite a less than perfect season, the Lady Owls' 2008 season had its moments. The biggest team accomplishment was the huge victory over then-No. 25 ranked Oregon State. The Lady Owls also allowed Head Coach Casey Dickson to resign a winner, with the victory over Charlotte being the last game of Dickson's tenure. The 2009 spring season looks promising under direction of new Head Coach Joe DiPietro. He will have Norene, the A-10 home run leader, and five other upperclassmen to help guide the Lady Owls and their 2009 season.

Four members of the team, Bill Gennaro, Don Powers, Thomas Masterson, and Robert Protesto, all earned Academic All-Area Team honors. Protesto was named Academic Athlete of the Year for his endeavors in the classroom. The team also dominated on the water, with the Varsity 8 capturing medals at the Dad Vail Regatta, the SIRA Championship Regatta, and the Murphy Cup Regatta. They also defeated then-ranked 15 Georgetown during the course of the year and won the Knecht Cup Title for the second straight year. The Owls had an amazing fall season racing 5 times and placed many boats in each race. They finished on top all season but especially after the back to back Frostbite Regatta and the Braxton Memorial Regatta. At the time of publication, the Owls were preparing for their spring season opener in Tampa, Florida at the Mayor's Cup Regatta.

Senior Jackie Swan, a Four Year Oar Award winner, led the way and the team along with classmates Amanda Barr, Laura Austin, Anne Mikolajewski, and Jennifer Azeles. The core group of four-year rowers led the Lady Owls to victory at the Mayor's Cup, while finishing third in the Petite Final. The Mayor's Cup certainly set the tone for the rest of the spring season as the Lady Owls continued to place boats race after race. The Lady Owls finished seventh in the Atlantic 10 Conference Championships. The women also excelled in the classroom as well with three Owls named to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Academic All-Area Team. Swan, Mikolajewski, and Bailey Chick were all chosen for their outstanding academics. The Lady Owls were quick to continue their momentum into their fall season placing three boats at the Navy Day Regatta and nine between the back to back Philadelphia Frostbite Regatta and the Bill Braxton Regatta. At the time of publication, the Lady Owls were preparing for the upcoming spring 2009 season.

Nobody understands ups and downs more than this team. The Owls had a very rough spring 2008 season full of emotional losses. The VCU Invitational season opener had one winning pair, Eduardo Saavedra and Ricardo Velazquez, but the rest of the weekend was filled with losses. It certainly was a tough way to start the season, but the Owls did not let it completely dictate their season. The Owls defeated Saint Francis in their home opener and when on to play the rest of their spring season. The Owls finished 5 - 13 for the spring season and said goodbye to senior Zach Tobias. The Owls started their fall season with a fresh start and five new freshmen with hometowns such as Russia, Poland, Estonia and Pennsylvania. One bright star was freshman Filip Rams from Katowice, Poland. From his dominating play at the Philadelphia City 6 Tournament to reaching the semifinals at the University of North Carolina Invitational, Rams was a key Owl. Junior Nathan Spunda was also a key Owl during the fall season. Spunda reached the semifinals of the Bollttieri - Triebly Open as well as the semifinals as the UNC Invitational. He bowed out gracefully in the first round of the ITA Regionals, while Rams reached the third round in the consolation bracket of the ITA Regionals.

The spring season was filled with excitement for the Lady Owls. After an impressive 13-4 record, the team received the second seed and a first round bye for the Atlantic 10 Tournament. The Lady Owls defeated Xavier to win its fourth ever Atlantic 10 Championship and the teams first since 2003. The team went onto the NCAA Tournament and fell to then-ranked 9 Duke. After an impressive 16-4 season record, Dina Senkina was named the Atlantic 10 Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Year and Head Coach Jill Breslin was honored as the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year. Elyse Steiner and Lucie Pazderova both joined Senkina with first team all-conference accolades and Christine Clermont and Anastasiia Rukaayshykova earned second team all-conference accolades. After only her first year, Head Coach Breslin resigned as the Lady Owls coach and Steve Mauro pulled double duty as both the mens and womens tennis coach in the fall season. Rukavyshnykova led the team at the beginning of the fall season in the seasonopening Cornell Invitational. Rukavyshnykova set the tone for the season during the Flight B singles championship with a perfect 4-0 mark while Theresa Stangl won the Flight C singles championship. At the time of publication, the Owls were preparing for their spring season.

After being on hiatus for 20 years, the Owls were going through a rebuilding phase. The cross country program was revived in 2005 and the mens team has struggled to make strides towards excellence. But this season, the strides were more than evident. Led by Mike May, the Owls finished 9th at the Atlantic 10 Championships. The finish was the teams best since the revival and is the first ever top ten finish for the school. May finished 25th individually at the A-10 Championship and his finish was the best individual finish in school history. He also finished 14h at the IFAH ECAC Championships. His leadership will continue and he will be joined by Travis Mahoney. Mahoney who won the Monmouth XC Kickoff and finished third at the Monmouth Cross Country Invitational finished 25th at the IFCA ECAC Championships. With only three senior runners, Cross Country Head Coach Matt Jelley will still have a strong team eager to continue building a legacy for the mens squad.

After losing four strong seniors from the previous season, the Lady Owls went into their fall season with eleven freshman and sophomore women. While the team was fairly young, they all had the level of experience to perform well. Sadly, the women had a rough time this year and always finished in the bottom half of their five meets. Their season meets included the Princeton Invitational and the Monmouth Invitational. The team finished thirteenth out of fourteen at the Atlantic 10 Championship and twenty first at the IFCA ECAC Championships. While the team had trouble, Rebecca Mims had an amazing season. She was the team's top finisher in their last 5 meets of the year, including the Atlantic 10 Championships. She placed 78th and was the top finisher for the Lady Owls. Although the team did not finish with a perfect record, Head Coach Matt Jelley will be able to look to his team of young and eager runners to continue moving the program along.

The mens soccer rebounded nicely from their poor 2007 season and finished 10-5-4. The team was unbeaten in its final six games to make a strong push into the postseason. The defense played a crucial role in the teams success and posted nine shutouts. The constant leadership of James Suevo and J.T. Noone was crucial to the phenomenal season the team experienced. The post-season honors the team received proved so. Noone earned an Academic All-American honor, set a school record in assists with 12, led the conference in assists, also threaded seven goals and led the team with 26 points. Lastly, Noone earned National Soccer Coaches Association of America Second Team All-America honors and the first Temple soccer player to reach All-America status since 1986. Other Owls received honors as well such as Suevo who received a second-team All-Atlantic 10 honor and Tyler Witmer, who received an A-10 All-Rookie Team honor. The Owl had an amazing season and can only be proud of all they accomplished this season. Fortunately for Head Coach David MacWilliams with Noone and Witmer are both returning next season to lead the team and win more aames.

Right: Brianna Costello prepares to kick the ball backwards away from her opponent. The Lady Owls began their season with two consecutive losses but ended their season with two consecutive wins. In between the drastically different season opener and closer was another two-game win streak but a long eleven game winless drought. Despite what happened during the season, the win against George Washington marked the season's end and allowed the seniors to go out on top. Charisma Wright, a pertinent player for the team, scored the game-winner in overtime to top the Colonials. Long-time Owls Cori Gallagher, Jenna Rankin, Liz Allan, Katrina Lynch, Tiffany Kasunich, Wendy Halina, and Wright were all honored on Senior Day for their dedication to the soccer team. The team fought long and hard virtually every game, and even shut out St, Peters, 3-0, but fell by only one goal most games. With the slate clean for next year, the way to go is up for the Lady Owls. They have the young talent needed to take what they have learned from their retiring seniors and have a season in their favor. w Left: Courtney Douglas prepares to kick the ball away from her goal to a teammate on the field.

The women's volleyball has been one of the most consistently successful programs at Temple University, and that much did not change this season. The Lady Owls finished their regular season with a 15-15 record overall, tied for second in the Atlantic 10 East, and made its way to the postseason tournament. The team was knocked out by St. Louis with a 3-2 final score in the first round of the Atlantic 10 Tournament, but their game placed Yun Yi Zhang on the first-team Atlantic 10 team. Zhang led the team, and the A-10, in regular season kills and points. Jackie Morrison was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team for her dedication in the classroom. Zhang along with Patricia Vernon provided a real one-two punch for the women's volleyball team. They both worked extremely hard on the court and were able to add to the team's tally of kills and digs. With the loss of their only senior, Vernon, Coach Bob Bertucci will return with a veteran team and the ability to build their current foundation. The 2009 season looks prosperous for the Lady Owls they will certainly come back looking to claim a title in the Atlantic 10 East again. Left: The team huddles before they play their next set.

The outdoor track and field season started in a big way with Grant West setting the school record in the hammer throw at the Raleigh Relays. He then outdid himself by breaking his own record at The College of New Jersey Invitational. The momentum for the season started then and continued on until the Atlantic 10 Championships, where the team finished sixth. Andrew Fries and Brad McFadden led the way at the A-10 Championships by finishing in second place in both of their prospective events. Fries tossed his javelin and McFadden blazed his way up and over hurdles to help the squad gain momentum for the near future. The spring season had ended and the Owls had done fairly well. At the time of publication, the Owls were midway through their indoor season and preparing for their outdoor season. With leadership from Marcos Edghill and Fries gone, the next generation of mens track and field members truly needs to step up and lead the team. With new Head Coach Eric Mobley on board, as well as a predicted 5th place finish in the Atlantic 10 in the indoor season, the season has the potential to end on a very high note for the Owls.

Right: Reava Potter makes her triple jump look easy. The Lady Owls finished the season strong and placed fourth at the Atlantic 10 Championships. This strong finish was the team's best finish at the Atlantic 10 Championships since 2003. Melissa Gale started the triumphs when she won the pole vault, successfully defending the championship she won as a freshman last season. Devon DuPont won the heptathlon and Assata Cowart finished a strong freshman campaign with a win in the 400m hurdles. The team received solid contributions all season from Brittney McRae, Tashima Stephens, and Cheryl Anscombe. Amanda Cole also held her own in the field events, pacing the Owls in the discus and shot put all year. Cole, Cowart, and Gale were ail invited to participate in the NCAA East Regional. With experienced winner Eric Mobley taking the reins as head coach from resigned Stefanie Scalessa, and the team being picked fifth in the Atlantic 10 this upcoming season, the squad is on the rise.

Cheerleading is a physically demanding art, but our cheerleaders have certainly mastered that art. The degree of difficulty for many of the stunts performed is mind-boggling. Whether it be as simple as a toe-touch, or as difficult as popping three flyers in the air and successfully catching them, cheerleading taking precision and strength. These Owls work extremely hard and do a phenomenal job at what they do. It is more than just the rah-rah from the Owls' cheerleaders, as they put in time, sweat, and hard work to develop the routines, stunts, and pyramids that look so easy on game day. From grueling practices to bringing energy no matter how one individual is feeling, the cheerleading squad does a great job. The spirit that is brought to the game by the cheerleaders is undeniable.

Right: Delano Green zooms up the field on a punt return. Five wins never led to more disappointment at Temple than it did this year. Coach Al Golden and his team provided sparks and heartbreak this season. Close game (Connecticut; 12-9 loss in overtime) after close game (Buffalo; last second Hail Mary loss) after close game (7-3 loss versus Western Michigan) came and the Owls usually found themselves on the wrong end of the stick. But after a 4-win campaign last year, and a 5-win season this year, the next logical step is bowl-eligibility. The task will be considerably more difficult with the loss of key players at key positions for the Owls. The MVP of the Owls for the past 2 seasons, quarterback Adam DiMichele, will be gone after a fantastic career. As will productive center Alex Derenthal, hard working wide receiver Bruce Francis, who led the MAC in receiving touchdown this year and established new school records as well, Temple's career return yardage leader Travis Shelton, and disruptive defensive tackle Terrence Knighton.

One stroke at a time, the Owls have carved its niche. A strong 2nd place showing at the Saint Bonaventure Invitational, spearheaded by Eric Plisko, was the first high point in a season filled with successes. The Owls went on to eventually capture the Philadelphia Big 5 Invitational by a stroke. The stellar play of Plisko, who was honored with Atlantic 10 Co-Player of the Week status for his efforts, coupled with the outstanding efforts of Kevin Busteed, allowed the Owls to be strong within the conference and put on a phenomenal season. Busteed ended up with three top 10 finishes on the season to finish up strong. The team finished with a sixth place at the Old Dominion Seascape Invitational.

Kristine Jones, Kaitlyn Uckert, and Sabrina Shapiro all ended their regular season careers in dazzling fashion. The three seniors also helped their team continue their run of success in their season, as the Owls pushed their win streak to 10 meets. Kristin Powell, who was named honorable mention All-America last year, continued her run of dominance this year and will be looking to defend her title as Temple's female Student Athlete of the Year. As of press time, the Owls were preparing for the National Intercollegiate Women's Fencing Association competition. The team will be working hard as they prepare to continue their reign as champions.

It took an extra session for the Owls to fall 4-3 to the Richmond Spiders in the Atlantic 10 semifinals. Yet the season was filled with its share of excitement, namely the 2-1 victory over rival St. Joseph's on Senior Day. Junior Dannah Brehm added to the excitement, netting two game-winning goals in the season. The team battled through a 6-game losing streak midway through the season and fought to earn the third seed in the AtlanticIO Tournament. The postseason accolades also rained in for the squad as senior Mary Catherine Kinneman, who was the defending Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year, was named First Team All-Mid-Atlantic Region and junior Charise Young, who was the Atlantic 10 Student Athlete of the Year last year, was named to the Second Team.

The Owls eventually fell in the NCAA Tournament to Maryland, but the joy of being the 2008 Atlantic 10 Champions cannot be taken away from them. However, with a championship team, individuals will be honored for standing out amongst their teammates. The Owls were led by a few strong players who truly helped the team throughout the season. Whitney Richards took home Most Outstanding Player of the A-10 Tournament. Richards also racked up postseason accolades, garnering Third Team All-America honors. Berkley Summerlin was named Academic All-Area by the Philadelphia Inquirer, who was also named to the Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team. Nicole Caniglia, Hilary Richards, and Summerlin, who was a member of the Atlantic 10 All-Tournament Team, were also honored and selected to play in the IWLCA North-South Senior All-Star Game.

That much was true, as Christmas was on his way to becoming the first player in Atlantic 10 history to lead the league in scoring to win three consecutive scoring tit les, as of press time. An 88-72 thrashing of then-ranked No.8 Tennessee was a bit unexpected, with Christmas exploding for a season-high 35 points and senior fan favorite Sergio Olmos netting a career-high 19 points. Also unexpected was the emergence of sharpshooter Craig Williams. Williams had his coming out party against Kent State, knocking down three triples and establishing himself as a true shooting threat. Ryan Brooks and Lavoy Allen continued to establish themselves as two of the finest role players in the conference, playing huge roles in the Owls thrilling 61-59 win over rival St. Josephs.

Dawn Staley, a local legend, took a job as head coach at the University of South Carolina and Tonya Cardoza took the helm. A shift took place, as the Owls looked to be more explosive on offense under Cardoza. Things started brilliantly for the Owls as they defeated Bowling Green to give Cardoza a win in her first game as head coach. Having the luxury of four players averaging double figures in scoring, the Owls stormed off to a very strong season, defeating rival St. Joseph's twice, topping Penn, and beating LaSalle. Shenita Landry was the leader of the squad all season with her all-out effort. LaKeisha Eaddy was a steady hand at point guard, while Lindsey Kimmel and Shaqwedia Wallace rained three-pointers on the opposition all season. Shanea Cotton has also been a consistent force for the Owls with her tenacious rebounding.

Vexler captured gold in the all-around and floor exercise for the 2008 ECAC Champion Owls. The success continued as Head Coach Fred Turoff was selected to the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame as a member of the 2009 class. The season started out strong for the Owls as seniors Jason Russo and John Vogtman set the pace for the team. The Owls had a large bulls-eye on its back as the 2009 goal was to bring a third consecutive ECAC trophy. With Vogtman and Russo, and contributions from freshman Matt Martin, who received a Rookie of the Week award from the ECAC, the team is well on its way.

Right: A worried Lady Owl stares at the scoreboard and waits to see her scores. The Lady Owls had a fresh face set the tone for their season this year. Freshman Corrine Williams made her college debut one to remember. She finished second on the balance beam and paced Temple to a fourth-place finish in the season-opening George Washington Invitational. Her season-opening performance paled in comparison to what the Owls would accomplish as a team - netting their highest team score since 2004. The Lady Owls finished with a 191.375 overall at a meet in front of their home fans. The team finished second in the meet, but continued to improve and finish first at the Liberty Classic. Senior co-captain Winter Sneed led the way, racking up the highest individual score at the meet, which was Sneed's last home competition. Natasha Crawford, Christine McNeill, Debra DiPrima, Nikki Berrian, and Sneed were all honored after the Liberty Classic, as they bid their farewell to McGonigle Hall. At the time Templar went to print, the Lady Owls were preparing to compete in the ECAC Championships. Left: A Lady Owl smiles after completing a perfect floor routine.

CLUB SPORTS Left: An ice hockey team member takes a much-deserved break from the action. Center: The ice hockey team greets each other on ice. Right: One member of the Owls prepares to face-off against the opposition. Some people may view club sports as a hobby and think dedication is not required. That is not true of the club sports at Temple - dedication and work are a must. There are now 26 club sports, up from 23 just a year ago. And while some club sports are offered at the Division I level, these players manage and run these individual club teams. The numbers of club sports offered continue to increase here because of the passion of the players. One club sport is the Equestrian team. This team offers two different types of lessons: English and Western and is also composed of members of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association and offer different competition levels. Another club sport is the Ice Hockey team. The team puts in a hours to practice and perfect their playing which earned them the highest ranking in the history of the team. Lastly is the Ultimate Frisbee team which is comprised of about 40 dedicated frisbee players. Long practices are standard for these players who enjoy the game as much as they do.

The Philadelphia City 6 Extramural Classic is the capstone of the intramural season and has been around since 1986. It was founded by representatives from Temple, along with representatives from St. Josephs, and offers a tournament if champions for flag football, volleyball, basketball, and softball. The City 6 flag football championship was won by Hybrid, a team formed at Temple. The Black Mambas, a high competition basketball team here at Temple, also won the City 6 men's championship, joining the men, women, and co-recreational volleyball teams in capturing City Six Championships. There is also low competition basketball and womens basketball offered in intramural sports. An outdoor soccer league is offered too, so all bases are covered for intramural fun. Intramurals are a great option for students who still want to play a sport and have fun. Left: A team member jumps up above the rest of the players in hopes to gain points for his team.

Right: After a touchdown, the band stands to play for the Owls! The Temple University Bands have been in action for over 80 years. They perform in concert halls, perform on the field and on the court. You can hear them play in harmony from the stands at a basketball game or watch them do their thing on the field at Lincoln Financial Field during the football season. The bands are broken down into a few categories. There is the Diamond Marching Band, Basketball Pep Bands, Collegiate Pep Bands, Collegiate Concert Bands, and Wind Symphony. They each have their own rich history and are proud of their accomplishments. The Diamond Band participated in the first Sugar Bowl in 1935 and also has traveled to Tokyo to perform in the past. Preparation is what leads to perfection and this is what the bands look to offer every time they play. All the hard work paid off the Wind Symphony was selected to be record a CD for the Masterpiece Series to be release on a major record label!

Our time here has flown by and we soon will be in the real world wishing we were back in college. Temple has truly prepared us for what we will face as young professionals. Between the classes we took, the internships we worked and the seminars we attended, we are ready for anything. Temple has provided a great education. We have made memories that will never be forgotten and made some we wish we could forget! We have met people that have changed our lives for the better and without Temple, we probably would not have met them. We have studied, we have partied, and we have worked hard to get where we are. Someday we will all look back on these memories and thank Temple, the administration and all those people we met along the way. We are the Class of 2009 and we are proud to be here!

John DiCarlo - Program Director, Office of Student Media Phil Klein - Jostens Representative Dee Skelton - Jostens Customer Service Consultant Ainslev Carry - Dean of Students Amy Hecht - Associate Dean of Students Theresa Powell - Vice President for Student Affairs David Broadus - Director of Budget and Finance, Division of Student Affairs Margaret Jones - Office of the Dean of Students Rosetta Brown - Office of the Dean of Students The Temple News Joe Durinzi - Herff Jones Photography Temple University Computer Services Staff University Publications Board The Editor-In-Chief Would Like to Thank... John DiCarlo - For believing in me these past four years. I wouldn't be where I am today without you. Thank you for pushing me to reach my fullest potential and always standing behind me. Keep wearing your blue shirts and always remember me. Phil Klein and Dee Skelton - For being the best Reps I could've ever asked for! You two are truly amazing. This book would not have been possible without both of you. Dean Carry and Amy - For constantly checking in and asking about the book. I hope I made you both proud! Doctor Powell - For being my mom while I was here at Temple. You are an amazing woman and I hope that I am just like you one day. Jared - You were the perfect assistant. I am glad you finally figured out your major! You will do amazing in whatever you do and I will always be behind you to support you My Sisters - For always supporting me and my crazy ideas! You are all I ever needed and am glad we made this journey together. Once a Phi Sigma Sigma My Friends -You know who you are and I love you all. Thank you for inspiring me to be the best person I could be. You will all always be in my heart. My Family - It’s been a rough, rocky road, but we made it! I hope I grew up into a wonderful young woman you are all proud to call daughter, sister, and niece. Rich - There are not enough words to thank you for your support during this past year while I worked on this book. You are amazing and I will always love you. And lastly, My Staff -1 wouldn't have been able to create this amazing book without you. You are all so talented and wonderful. Keep writing, photographing and being yourselves because you are all going far in life. I am so blessed to have been your Editor-In-Chief! 199 To the Class of 2009... First and foremost, congratulations! It has been a long journey filled with wonderful memories. We have all grown and matured and it is together that we will enter the real world. Whether it be the pursuit of another degree or your first job, your education and experience from Temple University will be the wind pushing you from behind. Always remember your memories from freshman year to senior year - for soon you will miss them. There will be no more procrastination, no more all-nighters in the TECH Center and no more hanging out with your best friends. You will create new memories but they will never quite be like your Temple University ones. Cherish the days you walked dowTi the streets of our campus, the Temple Athletics games you cheered on our Owls at, and the classes you attended -they have helped you grow into the person you are today. Every experience has added to you in some little way even if you don't realize it just yet. As you want to revisit these memories, look back at this yearbook. It will help you remember those things that will slow fade away out of your memory. As the days, weeks, months and years go by, it will be harder to remember all the details of your college years. This yearbook will be your tool. It will help you remember Temple University... In Retrospect.
