The idea was started by the members of the annual staff as a money-making project. Miss Linamen, sponsor of the annual, stated that she hoped that the contest would become a tradition at KJHS. The contestants were chosen on the basis of school spirit, contributions to KJHS, personality, co-operation, aca- demic achievement, and character. The five boys and four girls were selected by a faculty committee from members of the ninth grade. The contestants raised two-hundred and eighty four dollars for the annual staff. We, the members of the VENTURE , are deeply grateful to these students for their help. Cindy Meredith and Billy Foster make a handsome couple as they share the top honors of Miss and Mr. Kempsville Junior High School . Smiling Vicki Williamson and Soul Brother 1 Lagus McCoy were named as the first runners-up in the KJHS contest.

To Coach Coulthard for his skill and knowledge that hel| the KJHS football team lay claim to another City Championship. 5 Kempsvill Senator Byrd smiles at the dedication audience as he waits for the applause to subside before he begins his speech. Superintendent Brickie makes some thought-provoking comments. Junior High Scliool A junior high school is a complex organism. It is many students together and it is one student alone. It is dreams and loves and hopes that are born and those that die. It is being one in happiness and being one in sadness. It is changing classes and football games and it is hours of study and worry. A junior high school is one being and it is a combination of many beings. Here a spirit is infused into each and every student; a spirit, which, if genuine, can never die. 6 Dedication, April 12, 1970 Teacher of the Year 1969 - 70 diaries Atkins Perkinson, Principal There ' s no heat in the school, the water pipe burst, eight registers are missing, the library ordered pictures instead of books, Mrs. Cromwell resigned, seven buses broke down, Mr. Mac and Mr. Lumpkin are both out with the flu, and all the women teachers have on pantsuits. I see! Now, tell me the Bad news! Mr. Perkinson is our administrator in charge of everything! The overall smooth functioning of our school expresses his versatile management of the widespread demands upon him. Though the hours are long and his re- sponsibilities are numerous, he always manages to have a smile for everyone. Mr. P is well-known to all for his stable leadership, his willingness to help with any problem and his ability to put that problem into its proper perspective. For this — and for him — we are thankful. A positive, optimistic man is good fortune as the rudder of our school, of any school. 10 Marv McMillan, A.P.A. r. Mac arrived at our school this year as the new administrator in charge of discipline — and he has stayed to prove already that he is a man who functions efficiently in that job. We are all tronger because we know Mr. Mac who grasps a difficult job nd molds its varied problems into solutions. Kenneth Bryant Lumpkin, A.P.I Mr. Lumpkin is really the unsung hero in the educational scheme of things at KJHS. While the students are usually unaware of his numerous functions, they nevertheless greatly benefit from the excellent assistance he gives the teachers in matters of instruction. He handles his many responsibilities with a round intelligence, a sincerity of purpos e and his own special dignity that ' s always there. We ' re glad he ' s here! 11 12 Mrs. Kathryn Buscher Nurse Mrs. Irene Clark Home Economics Miss Laura Clark Chorus Drama Mr. Bill Cocharne Physical Education 9 Mr. Wade Coltran Industrial Arts I II Mr. Bob Coulthard Algebra Geometry Mrs. Becky Cox English 8 Secretary Mrs. Ruth Cromwell i Mr. Bob Davies Counselor Mr. Ed Dennis Gen.

Kempsviile Junior High. Learning exactly what the students want isn ' t always easy, but with the assistance of representatives and a suggestion box, the officers got some ideas. Dances were a big success, as was the Student- Faculty Basketball game (complete with faculty cheerleaders.) When the SCA recognized the talent of the student body, a talent show was quickly organized. Good times are important, but the SCA was also concerned with hu- manity. Aside from donations to charities, like the United Givers, the school adopted a Lebanese boy. Their adoption enabled the seven year old to go to school. Taking a long look at the school and community, the SCA realized that pollution was not a phenomenon which occured someplace else. Through an assembly and class discussions, the students learned about problems in the area and how they could be corrected. Their interest and enthusiasm were harnessed into a massive clean-up campaign of the school and community. SCA President Paula Pruden 66 Sponsors Various Activities 1970 - 71 Venture Staff Can you identify this person? Who messed up the pictures? Where is what s-his-name? I need his copy! These were faoiiliar sounds as the Kempsville Junior High annual was in its final stages. Amid all the helter-skelter, a yearbook recording daily life at KJHS was somehow produced. At the beginning of the year the staff members set out to solicit ads. Then came the taking of student pictures which can only be described as one big headache. Howev- er, the staff managed to survive the ordeal but Miss Linamen, our sponsor, may never never be the same. We all know now that her nickname Red refers to more than just her hair — what a temper!!! Afler the pictures were taken we were confronted with many little details: identifying pictures, drawing lay-outs, writing copy, and meeting deadlines. Did you know that we have some students at KJHS who don ' t know their alphabet? How ' bout it Sam and Susan? Looking back over the year we remember the good times and try to forget the bad ones, but basically it was fun. So here ' s the final result of all our labor — the preservation of a year ' s events at Kempsville Junior High. Hope you enjoy it.

Craft projects, field trips, and sponsorship of the school art show are being undertaken by the students this year. The main project of the 1970-71 club is to work toward the goal of purchasing a piece of work by a professional artist of the Tidewater area for KJHS. Funds are presently being raised by means of bake sales and other fund raising means. Also the club is providing strong support for the Festival of Visual and Performing Arts which takes place in May at the Virginia Beach Dome. 1st Row L to R: Colosi, Repass, Jones, Mitchell. 2nd Row L to R: Daugherty, Beiler, Bowles.

Adding the icing to the cake, the Majorettes Corps performed two solo productions during football season. The highlight of the season came when the corps brought home two first place trophies from the Regional Majorette Asso- ciation Competition held in Portsmouth. Miss Vickie Williamson, Head Majorette, has done an outstanding job in rehearsing the group and working out routines. Mrs. Joanne Flanagan is the majorette sponsor.

The group has performed four precision halftime shows during football season and presented a Christmas Cantata in conjunction with the Concert Chorus. The Concert Band performs in the District II Band Festival and will present a combination serious and pops concert in the Spring. The Marching Band will present its colors in the Azala Festival Parade and the Armed Forces Day Parade. Under the direction of Mr. William Flanagan, the band has done much to promote school spirit, even to presenting The Horse as the school fight song. This indeed been a highly successful year for the music department and the Kempsville Junior High School Band.

These nine words more than describe the nine girls who composed the 1970-71 Kempsville Junior High Cheerleading Squad. Appearing in their blue skirts and bulky white sweaters for football the girls added color and pep to cold game days. For basketball, they shed the sweaters and donned snappy blue vests with mock turtle neckline white jerseys. Needless to say they made quite an im- pression on the court. In addition to adding color, the girls did a splendid job of fostering school spirit, supporting pep rallies, as well as leading KJHS fans in cheers. These girls have spent a busy but fun-filled yeat- in service to KJHS. Because of their accomplishments and their boundless energy, the cheerleaders have shown us that they, too, are 1.

Spirit, Drive, Ability The Braves continued their tradition of winning championships in football by winning a share of the City Championship for the second consecutive year. We opened the season with a disheartening 6-0 loss to Va Beach Jr. The Braves nearly scored on an end sweep by Lagus McCoy who went out of bounds on the 1 foot line. The Braves got on the winning track against the First Colo- nial Jr. JV by a score of 26-0. In that contest the defense, led by Terry Lassiter and Ricky Bliese, began to assert itself. The offense also jelled as Kevin Smith scored twice and Frank Welch scored as well as throwing a long touchdown pass to Lagus McCoy. In the third game the Braves completely overwhelmed Norfolk Academy by a score of 34-0. Our famous Red team saw considerable action in this game and almost scored. Plaza Jr. proved to be quite a formidable opponent yielding grudgingly by a score of 14-12 , and becoming the first and only team to score twice against our defensive team. Against Princess Anne the team suffered an emotional let down but managed to prevail by a score of 22-0. The next week was spent feverishly preparing for the Bayside game which would decide the City Championship. We won the game when Lenny Handfinger tackled the Bayside runner in the end zone. Our offensive team scored a total of 96 points while the defensive team held our opponents to a total of 20 points. The year proved to be very rewarding and every member of the team showed a great desire to be a winner. 82 Co-City Champions ' 70 - ' 71 Kempsville Junior Braves As City Impatiently waiting for basicetball then sudden despair. Despite this loss of height and skill the Braves begin. Two bum legs and a bad back didn ' t keep us from having aggressive practices. We immediately learned how to hurt our mouth and teeth. 20 defense — work, work, work. Thanx for the gift Norview. Cox JV snickers but later we laugh. They will remember Kempsville JUNIOR. 50 — defense — work, work, work. Early victories and jitters. Polish 22 defense. Christmas and undefeated 4 — record. Vacation — that ' s a joke! 44 defense — work, work, work. Mental mistakes are minimized. KJHS starts its version of Mighty Mights againsi Norfolk Acadamy JV. They are bigger than ????. Yes, it does pay off to work hard during Christmas. Va Beach at the beach — this year the game was finished! The game of 2 unbeaten teams.

In our first conference game against Plaza Jr. High we suffered key injuries to Tommy Chowns, Robert Legg and Jake Powers. After losing in extra innings to Plaza 3-2 the Braves had successive losses to Norfolk Catholic by a score of 14-8 and Va Beach by a score of 8-0 After a reorganization of the team, we won 5 games and lost 2 over the remainder of the season. Norfolk Academy was our first victim by a score of 8 — 0. We then got our first conference victory against Bayside by a score of 8-7. The Braves also defeated Bayside Jr. and Norfolk Academy for the second times as well as avenging the loss to Plaza Jr. We suffered two more losses at the hands of Va. Beach and Norfolk Catholic. After a very disappointing start the team lived up to expectations and finished the year very strong to have a 5-5 record. Several outstanding performances were turned in by Braves players: Frank Welch led the team with a .450 batting average, Jimmy Moore led the team in pitching with a 3-1 record, Brett Poyner had three home runs, Ricky Bliese, Tom Lorkiewicz, and Billy Foster turned in outstanding defensive performances.

When the alumni of Kempsville Junior High think back over their junior high days, they will remember the classes, teachers, and their fellow students. But most of all they will remember the athletics of KJHS. For the athletics of a school have a magic all their own, and compile a cohesive force which seems to unite the entire school in a common cause, victory. The victory, however, does not belong to one player or even to one team. The victory belongs to the school and each student in it. Thus it has been in years past and so it will be in future generations.
