There's just one thing I don't understand. What the heck does, 'Dare to Be . . .' mean? Well here it is folks, 'what you have been waiting for - the explana- tion. ' This year w en the yearbook staff was debating them ideas, weyffanted to choose one.that would characterize the 1985-86 school year alone. We wanted this yearbook to be distinct'and unique, unlike any book before or after 'it. . We decided to focuson the fact that it took-every student daring to get up extra early and.meet'the new 7:35 tardy bell, not to'mention the daring it took to 'survive at school for.seven long bells, instead of last ye'ar's six. But from there we began thinking that each and every day students strive and dare .tofdo their best in so many ways at school. So, in order to commemorate the students-who made Kempsville what it was, weqyided the dares up into six different categories to be more fully discussed throughoutthe book. lWe call them divider pagesfl-Here they are, and here is- what the student' ybody had to say about them: Dafa to Beiff . Different and Dare to, Be .J Yourself were the first two subdivisions. Kempsville' was 'a, school with students of manydiverse attitudes., Yet, they all were a ln this respect we the conven- to make this but said of because there you can al- rt of our .Pl -was taken belong. Da- - to an extreme and said, Too many people try to be different, but they end up being and looking just like everyone else. The truly different ones are the ones who .do what they feel is right, not what everyone else tells them is right. Dare to Be . . . Challenged was the third subdivision. This referred to the academic challenge students met every day at school. For many, school was simply a necessary evil to merely be tolerated until graduation. But others looked upon schoolwork as a real challenge and a valuable chance for intellec- tual betterment. Henry Pogorzelski summed this up when he said, All l'care about is intellectual growth, not appearance. l haven't worn socks all year. Billy Cannon emphasized this same sentiment when he said, ln anything you do, you should push yourself to 'do your absolute best. But to achieve one's best, it took hard work. Luck- ily students had the daring to face the work. John Weaver, speaking of his Superior Eng- lish class, summed up this feeling when he commented, We'd be bored in classes be- low our ability. The fourth dare was Dare to Be . Competitive. This pertained to the competi- tive success achieved by Kempsville's ath- letes.'Yvonne Merkel said of competition, Competitiveness brings out the, best in peo- ple. lt makes them strive for the top. lt's almost as if sports are a lesson in life - whether you win or lose, you always have to go on. There's always someone ahead of you, always someone to do better than, and a higher goal to reach. Life does what com- petitiveness in sports does - demands the best from you to getaheadf' Dare to Be Involved was the fifth subdivision. By this-we meant students' in- l l l -l W J t ? 5- ' l l . l if l X .? ' Y f li Y . ' l - -i volvement in extracurricular activities. , x'- tracurricular activities were very import' nt to many students. Countless hours w rd spent after school and on weekends work A on class floats, SCA projects, and Mont just to name a few. Senior Class Presid nt 3 e Eileen Mullaly said of extracurricular n-l volvement, The way l see it, because we re seniors, and we're getting ready to gradua e, we realize that we aren't graduating fr ni the building, but with the people. And, being involved, l have the opportunity meet a wide variety of people and fo lasting friendships. Dare to Be Supportive was the si and last dare . By this we were referring if the immense support the community tended to our school each and every ye Whether it was by buying an ad in the ne I paper, a football program, or a yearbook, r providing employment for many studen f the Kempsville community put their ti and money into our school. Beth Bell, bu if ness manager of the yearbook staff said l this support, Once again the communi supported our school by contributing gen l ously to the ad section of our yearbook. Th s support helped by providing essential lun l O l ing needed to publishthe book. So there you have it, the explanation f Dare to Be and the six different cat gories where we applied them. -We hope 5 have captured all the special moments of th I 1986 school year for everyone. But, this just the beginning of the book. Read on! D W not stop turning pages, because we think you will find that this year, unlike any oth ' year, Kempsville and its students Dared tw Be j Fl
