It was hard to believe that the last sunny afternoons of our summer had finally come. The sun had set on the carefree days of summer, but in our minds the sun was rising on a new horizon. As we took our first steps into the building, we covered more than just a few inches. We took on responsibility just by being there. From now on we would have to think about doing homework, talking to that special per- son in the hall, finding a place to sit in the crowded cafeteria, making the team, and keeping up with our federal cards and yearbook receipts. Before the first day, everyone had compared schedules with friends; our worn, folded copies could hardly be read as we tried to use them to find our way to first bell on September 7th. We spent the first days of school becoming acquainted with teachers and fellow students, learning to open our lock- ers, listening to what seemed like hundreds of rules, figuring out where health class met on Monday, and de- ciding if we should eat hamburgers or chicken filet sandwiches. Even though we had to say goodbye to the free time of summer, most of us looked forward to a time of responsi- bility. As our time began in Septem- ber, we couldn ' t help but hope that we could make it what it should be, what we knew it would be — precious time, indeed. Summer ends and school begins. Beginnings 3 SPARE TIME Spare time for the involved students of KJHS was very rare. The day to day routine was filled with club meetings and activities, extra-help sessions or reviews for hard subjects, six fifty-minute classes, and a thirty-minute lunch. As the 3:45 p.m. bell rang, the halls filled as students spread in all direc- tions. Some remained at school for practices while others went home to participate in family or community activities, or to begin an evening of studying and waiting for the phone to ring. As the weekends arrived, this meant a little more spare time for everyone. There were many activi- ties in which to participate. In the stands or on the bleachers were the places to be during the sports ' sea- sons; then on to Milton ' s to eat and talk about the game or just about the happenings of the week. Parties or dances offered an alternative to the weekend scene. This included school dances, club activities, and parties held by stu- dents looking to spend time with friends. Many students also spent some of this spare time at the area malls, cinemas, and game rooms. Even though spare time for Kempsville students has been rare, they have made the most of every minute. Fortunately for everyone, there were only twenty-four hours in a day, and a few had to be spent recuperating before the Monday morning routine began again. 4 Venture friends bid Jerry a sad good-bye. 4 Beginnings BRAVE Kempsville. To hear that word gives us a real sense of pride. Its meaning remains the same through- out the years of going to classes, attending sports events, and partici- pating in varied activities. A walk down the tired halls can say more to the mind than the one hundred and eighty days of learning and living. To see the smiling faces and the joy in our eyes is to know the pride of Braves. To feel sadness when you realize that the doors are locked, the halls are empty, and the good times seem gone forever, is to remember all that has been a part of life at KJHS for us. Do they call it PRIDE With each year its meaning grows. The present rapidly turns to gold dust of the past, and the future lies ahead of us as a magic blue mist, a gold and blue picture with accents of teardrops and laughter. In class, on the playing field, at a club meeting, marching in the band, or just relaxing after 3:45 p.m., being from Kempsville is some- thing to be proud of. This love runs deeper. As the blue mist we saw in September turns overnight to gold dust, we look back and smile. ]Ne think of that golden dust and all that we have to be proud of. This is called Brave Pride. Beginnings 9 KEMPSVILLE SPIRIT GOES EVER ON Beginnings 11 REMEMBER THE TIME . . . The past year at Kempsville brought many memories for all. Good or had, they are indeed memories shared with close friends. Never again will we experience a year quite like this one. The memories made this year are special because this could be the last time we are all gathered in the same school. The talk of rezoning has been a topic of discussion for the citizens of the Kempsville area for several years, but the possibility of this becoming a reality during the 1982-83 school year has caused con- cern for Ke7npsville parents, students and school faculty . This change could forever alter the path ready to be taken by all of us to Kempsville High School. Now is when we can look back and remember the times that we all shared. Tor example, remember the time you asked that special person for a date and she said, yes, or how about the time you had cafeteria duty because you dropped your napkin? YJe all remem- ber the great feeling of winning the big game or the disappointment of losing when we had tried so hard. Remember the time your locker jammed because six people shared it and also the time you missed your bus because you were waiting to pass that note that you wrote in sixth bell? Ah7iost everyone has experienced the embarrassment of being called on in class and not being able to answer. These memories will linger on, long after we are out of school. As we all look back on the year, everyone will have his own special times to remem- ber. Whether they were made in or outside of school, they will always be deeply cherished by each of us. No matter what path we all take, hopeful- ly there will be times when we can look back and say, Remember the time. . . . when we were rising up to meet the challenge of our rival as Bobby caught the pass to score the winning touchdown, and Karen and Stephanie led the cheerleaders at the fall sports pep rally. 12 Beginnings The Venture Staff makes the best of spare time even at five in the morning. It seems like only yesterday that we were arriving for the first day of school. 14 Beginnings HOW TIME FLIES What is time? The dictionary de- fines time as, all of the days there have been or ever will be; the past, present and future. Our school year was time — The time yesterday when we first ventured into our school to start a new year. Much of our past is made up of time spent with old friends and the excitement of making new ones. The classes, the teachers, and the activities made the year spe- cial. — The time today when we sit here, read the yearbook, and reminese about yesterday, we look back on the past, laughing at all of the good times, and looking forward to the end of school. — And the time tomorrow when all of this will be behind us and we will start a new yesterday, today and tomorrow. Time is always moving, and its passage sometimes seems too slow or too fast. It moves fast when we are enjoying ourselves and it moves slozv- ly when we are bored. Busy times and happy moments spent with our friends speed by, while times with noth- ing to do or minutes spent in your not-so-favorite class seem to drag. Someday s the classes flew by, while other days the hands on the clock seemed to move so slowly. Time flies; our time is over now; let ' s hope that all of our future times will be as good as the times spent at KJHS during 1982-83. Beginnings 15 PEOPLE Many times it is difficult to describe the student body of a school. No one phrase can picture in words what the student body of KJHS is like. It is made up of more than 1600 people with varied goals, interests, and accomplishments. Each and everyone of them is different in many ways, but they all have something in common, Kempsville. The 7th grade population at KJHS feeds in from two elementary schools, Kempsville Meadows and Providence Elementary. These people make up a very small part of our student body, but are a very important part because of their enthusiasm and participation in many activities. The 8th grade population is made up of the 7th graders moving from Kemps Landing and the returning 7th graders from KJHS. Since some of the students are new to the school, adjust- ments had to be made, but they quick- ly learned and become a united class. Most of the 9th graders at KJHS have spent at least two years becoming friends and developing common in- terests and goals. They are the Brave Pride going ever on. The fact that all students take the same path from junior high to high school — from Kempsville Jr. High to Kempsville High — contributes to the unity of Kempsville that everyone is so proud of. As you look through this section you will see the people that make up our student body. None of them are alike but they all share a certain pride in being a part of KJHS. 16 People CLASS OF ' 86 ...

Some of us started junior high in seventh grade and some in the eighth, but this mattered little when we came together as one class — The class of ' 86. The Freshmen have led the student body of KJHS with spirit and pride. The year was very successful with the majority of the class participating in numerous school activities. When the year came to a final and sad close, many of us were lost and left idle without club meetings, band practice, and sports events to attend. Though it may be difficult, we must now realize mat it is time to move on. Attending KJHS has become a vital part of our lives and it will be hard to accept something new. Be- coming sophomores at a new school and adapting to unfamiliar surroundings will put us at the bottom of the ladder once again. As we look forward to moving on, we will never leave behind the memories made at KJHS.

Whether studying in the library, participat- ing in a variety of classroom activities, work- ing hard on a practice field, marching in the b and, or attending a club meeting, we met the challenge of demonstrating our abilities and enthusiasm to everyone at our school. This was the first year that the class of ' 87 attended school together. The majority of the class came from Kemps Landing to join the group of students who attended KJHS in the seventh grade. The two groups began to func- tion as one, and the eighth graders began to share a unique combination of abilities and interests with their teachers and fellow stu- dents. We were involved in student life and had a very good year in the middle. As the 1982- ' 83 year comes to an end, the class of ' 87 can look back on a very successful year. It was a time to develop pride in our class and to look forward to 1983-84: — when there would be time again to show that Kempsville Braves are i. 42 People i ' •1 s fy i s i 1 V - 9 Andrew Beamon Pam Beard Brad Beck Jodi Beland Keisha Bennett Laura Bennett Ernette Benson V Mike Benson Cheryl Bergen Dani Berger Jeff Bergstedt Sheri Berkowitz Glenn Bertoline Geff Berte Chip Birdsong y.Terri Blair Robert Blake Vicky Blake Julie Blancher Phyllis Blood Richard Bojo Roland Bombase Stacey Bondurant Grant Bookhultz Jeff Boone Nancy Booth y Charlie Boone Jay Boyd ft V i Jon Boyd Brian Boyle Jane Bracken Scott Brandon Jimmy Brann Jackie Brewer Billy Brewster CI!

Most of us began to look forward to the first day when we received our schedules in mid-August. When the first day finally rolled arouna, the fear of not being accepted at a much larger and unfamiliar school was present in all of our thoughts. As our first few days at KJHS passed by, we realized how different junior high was from any other school we had ever attended, this was the first time we were left on our own and given freedom which allowed us to grow and become more responsible. This new indepen- dence was a pleasant surprise for all of us, so we were able to adapt to seventh grade life with ease. Though most of the year we were busy just observing the different ways of life at junior high, we did begin getting involved in activi- ties outside of our classes. Despite the fact that many of us were afraid to become in- volved too quickly, we gained experience in classes, activities, and sports; and began set- ting goals and priorities for the future. Build- ing on everything we have learned this year, we can look forward to two more years of success at KJHS.

Did you cross your eyes and stick out your tongue when con- fronted by the camera the fourth time your picture was made up? If so, you might be a missing person. Even though some students have been re- ported as missing from the class pic- tures section of the yearbook, they have been spotted in the halls of KJHS taking active and important roles in classes of ' 86, ' 87, and ' 88. Therefore, this page of the yearbook has been de- voted to recognizing them.

They have put in a great deal of Hme during this year to help students see the light at the end of the tunnel and to aid them in accomplishing many goals and crossing obstacles in their path. Not only have students at KJHS ex- perienced many frustrating, yet chal- lenging moments, but so have the staff members. Some days seemed as if they would never end — the ones that started when they left the day ' s test in the glove compartment and locked the keys in the car; and ended when they had spent hours slaving over forms that seemed not to have even a remote relation to students or to teaching. As instructors, disciplinaries, and often as friends, the staff members have helped inspire and push students toward excellence. Many faculty members served as coaches and club sponsors. Recognizing the extreme importance of activities outside the classroom, these teachers remained at school long after classes had ended. Many of the staff members at Kemps- ville Jr. also realize the importance of school spirit and are enthusiastic and supportive fans. They are found in the crowd at many of the games cheering loudly for our team. As the year comes to a close, the KJHS staff looks back and asks, Was it all worth it? Then they smile and know that it was when they realize that there is learning going on here — and teaching. In fact, sometimes there is teaching by the learners and learn- ing by the teachers. This is what it ' s all about. We call it education. 62 Academics ACADEMICS LET ' S GET PHYSICAL Cathy Chester Health P.E. 9 Department Chairman Bob Hicks Health P.E.

ART THOU CRAF Patti Falgiano Art, I, II Amy Ratliff Art i III This year the KJHS art department c SIsts J two teachers with Mrs. Ratliff acting as chairman. The art program seeks to aid the student in de- veloping a heightened awareness of self, a sensitiv- ity to the environment, and an ability to express himself visually. Other goals of the department are to develop an ability to think creatively, and to help students gain a knowledge of cultural heritage. Art students complete a variety of projects which are often displayed for everyone at KJHS to enjoy and appreciate. 64 Academics THE LANGUAGE VOR- -TZ u COMMUNICATING ;r z:: £t,l..cA . TA-y- ,.-  The English department at KJHS is made up of seventeen teachers headed by Miss Bryant, depart- ment chairman. There are course offerings in En- glish, public speaking, drama, and developmental and corrective reading for all levels of ability. En- glish courses include literature, monologues, basic language skills, and styles and techniques of writ- ing. The primary concern of the drama program is to provide students with a foundation of basic skills and experiences in the performing arts. The courses in developmental reading provide stu- dents with reading skills necessary to funchon in today ' s society. miimuii i .

There are five teachers along with two full tune aides. Mr. Wright holds the position of department head. The special education department ranges from teaching all subjects to very specialized problem areas. This program allows the student to adapt his schedule to meet special needs. It helps lift the load of five or six full time classes. The teachers work closely with the student to develop such things as survival skills and perceptual skills in- cludmg working on personal awareness. Special Education is an intensive skill developmental class, which can act as a friend in a time when help is what a student needs. Reading is fundamental to all areas of leariung. Here at KJHS Mrs. Cade is our reading resource teacher and is ably aided by Mrs. Morgan. The purpose of this program is to develop reading skills and to enable the student to apply these skills in each of his classes. 66 Academics SCIENCE SENSE The Science department of Kempsville is com- posed of ten teachers, with Miss Gaetani acting as department chairman. The science course offer- ings include life science, physical science, earth science, and biology. There are two levels of physi- cal and earth science offered in this department to provide for the varying abilities of students in these areas. All science courses are also laboratory oriented to develop laboratory skills and tech- niques. Critical thinking, problem solving, and the formulation of conclusions are also stressed in these courses.

This department provides course offerings in French, German, Latin, and Spanish. This program is designed to help stu- dents achieve communicative competency in the language, and to give the students a view of other people and their cultures. First year language courses concentrate on developing comprehen- sion, correct grammatical usage, and control of the sound system of each language. Second year courses concentrate on the further development of correct speech habits, comprehension and the use of basic structures of the language.

This department offers a program which provides students with opportunities to ex- plore the subjects of United States and World His- tory, United States Government, and World Geog- raphy. Each course is designed to provide factual knowledge, to promote development of various skills, and to prepare students for active and com- petent participation in society. Students learn about different culture regions of the world, signif- icant developments of western and non-western history, and the development of democratic gov- ernment in the U.S. Peg Baldwin World History Department Chairman National Junior Honor Society sponsor Elizabeth Boykin Social Studies 7,8 Donald Fuller World Historv- Debate sponsor Robert Jones Social Studies 8, World Geography Tim Miller World Geography Patricia Shorter World Geography Academics 69 THE SHOW NEVER ENDS Emmet Forbes Band Ina Leiderman Chorus Celes Price Orchestra The Kempsville Junior music department em- ploys three teachers who provide quality ' instruc- tion in the areas of musical score interpretation, performance, aesthetic descrimination, and htera- ture explanation on beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. The band instructor, Mr. Forbes, has a Bachelor of Science degree from Norfolk State University and a masters degree from Columbia University. Mr. Forbes has taught at KJHS for eight years and enjoys listening to jazz. He plays most of the in- struments. The choral instructor, Mrs. Leiderman, studied at the University of Maryland where she attained a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education, and at Norfolk State University where she was presented with a Masters of Music degree. She has taught jointly at Kempsville Jr. and Woodstock Elementary for the past two years, so she is familiar with the busy routine most Braves have. Our chor- al director is a very talented lady. In her spare rtme, she plays the piano and sings. Directing our orchestra is Mrs. Price. She also works at KempsLanding and Brandon Jr. High during the day. She graduated from ODU with a degree in business education. Besides teaching, Mrs. Price has many musical talents which include playing the oboe, the piano, and the violin. TERMINAL MADNESS Carolyn Cox 70 Academics Here at Kempsville Jr. our computer courses are taught by Mrs. Cox. The computer awareness unit is a fifteen day multi-media course of instrucHon involving hands-on operation of a microcomputer; knowledge of hardward and software; applicatton of the uses of computers; past, present, and future effects of computers on our lives; simple program- ming techniques; and some history of the develop- ment of computers. The hands-on operation of a computer (TRS-80 111) is a very important aspect of the unit. Each student learns how to use the keyboard to enter commands to the computer and make it do what- ever they want (almost). Presentations are made showing students the many applications of computers from the way they are used in the classroom to huge complexes called computer or data centers that have systems that can help run an entire city. How the computer affects our lives is discussed in the course, Wherever man goes. Computers surround him. All of the effects were not neces- sarily good. Indeed, students saw that our privacy could be in jeopardy. However, students con- cluded that overall the computer makes life better for most of them. In any case, the computer is with them and students must learn how to live with it. Students also take a look at the history of the development of computers from primitive devices using knots tied in strings to modern electronic computers capable of sending a space probe to a distant planet. TIME OFF FOR BAD BEHAVIOR The purpose of the in-school suspension pro- gram is to provide an education for those students who are suspended from their classes. The ISS coordinator, Mr. Flanigan, gives these students assignments which are individualized to suit their particular need. In order to do this, he obtains assignments and information about the student ' s abilities from their teachers. Mr. Flanigan has been the ISS coordinator for two years. He taught Health and P.E. for nine years, and was department chairman for two years. He has also taught at Heritage Elementary. A graduate of ODU and Ferum College, Mr. Flani- gan also has a masters degree from ODU. An active member of the faculty, Mr. Flanigan is the assistant coach of the football team. He has also coached basketball at KJHS. Mr. Flanigan ' s hob- bies are golf and wood-working. He has two daughters, Charlotte and Libby, who is the mascot of the KJHS cheerleaders. CREATIVE MINDS The Gifted and Talented Programs here at KJHS, provide a variety of offerings designed to meet the educational needs of intellectually gifted and talented students. This program offers advanced courses, credit and non-credit, and special semi- nars. Qualified students may register for the course in the seventh, eighth, or ninth grade, and have the opportunity to select program offerings that meet their individual needs. The course in- structors are Juanita Felton, Mary Hughes, and Hazel Jessee. The instructional units include En- glish, in which students write stories and produce filmstrips, sUdes and tapes of stories; Science, in which students examine and analyze visual illu- sions, magic tricks, codes, and conduct several experiments; Social Studies, where students in- vestigate the community, school, and personal actions; and finally the arts, in which the class studies three periods of fine arts.

Home economics stu- dents actively participate in the Future Homemakers of America. The industrial arts department is comprised of four teachers and is coordinated by department chairman Mr. Stahl. Industrial arts offers opportunities for each student to acquire information and skills which assist in choosing and planing a career. Seventh grade stu- dents are introduced to industrial arts through an exploratory semester course. Eighth grade students gain experience in a variety of areas of industry in- cluding woods and metals, while ninth grade stu- dents are introduced to the construction industry through project assignments. John Stahl Industrial Arts Department Chairman William Camp Industrial Arts John LePine Industrial Arts 72 Academics FOREVER GUIDING The guidance department at KJHS is comprised of five counselors with Mr. Fitzgerald acting as director. Mrs. Fruit serves as their secretary. Guid- ance, which is considered an integral part of the education program here, assists the individual stu- dent in developing a realist concept of himself in our democratic society. It is also concerned in assisting students in setting and achieving goals consistant with his ability. Through the efforts of our guidance counselors, students are familiarized with the school and it ' s resources, and are given direction which helps them succeed in their new classes and activities. Bill Fitzgerald Guidance Director Elaine Boyette Guidance Counselor James Breckenridge Guidance Counselor Lois ppT natrlie , Guidance Counselor Nancy Mullen Guidance Counselor Gee Fruit Guidance Secretary OFFICIAL BUSINESS The office personnel of Kempsville Jr. High con- sists of a head secretary, a bookkeeper, and an attendance secretary. Mrs. Cowan, the head secre- tary, is responsible for the maintenance of school records and correspondence. She assists Mr. Davis in his role as principal in many ways and assures that the office runs smoothly. Miss Sawyer, the bookkeeper, handles all school monies and pre- pares financial reports and records for audit. It is her responsibility to collect student fees and oper- ate the bookstore in order to supply the students with the material needed for their classes. The attendance clerk, Mrs. Welch, is responsible for coordinating all attendance records. The majority of her time is spent on the accounting of student enrollment, collecting federal cards, and daily at- tendance. To aid the secretaries, are at least two student workers per bell. These workers run errands, greet guests who enter the building, and assist with paper work. Several teachers are assigned office duty to help with attendance records. Parent volunteers have been very helpful this year in eas- ing the work load for our competent secretaries.

Without these people to maintain the building, provide for our physical needs, and assist us in using resource material, Kemps ille students would not have been so suc- cessful in their academic studies. Always helpful to ever ' one, Mr. Brooks and his custodial staff, kept KJHS clean and comfortable. Their duties included cleaning the building and grounds, maintaining the physical plant and cor- recting problems such as a frantic student ' s jam- med locker. Our cafeteria staff arrived ver - early everv morn- ing to prepare a nutrious lunch. During the three lunch shifts, thev provided three lunch lines and a mUk line to speed the ser -ing process. Mrs. Harris, spends most of her time in the clinic administering to the students. Her other duhes mclude screening tests, immunization clinics and health oriented conferences. The head librarian, Mrs. Linsley, coordinates the learning media services with the aide of Mrs. McClenney, assistant librarian. The libran,- clerk, Mrs. Harrop, along with student helpers aid in the managing and functioning of our librar ' . 74 Academics Academics 75 SUPERINTENDENT OF CITY SCHOOLS Dr. E.E. Brickell is the Superintendent of the Virginia Beach City Public Schools and has held this position since 1968. He is responsible for the entire operation of our school division and he over- sees the public education in Virgirua Beach. He is presently working on the 1983-84 school budget and also the redistricting plan. Dr. Brickell has received his Masters, B.S., C.A.S., and Doctorate in school administraHon from the college of WUliam and Mary. He meets with the S.C.A. presidents, the P.T.A., the City Council, and serves as a member of the Virginia Beach School Board. He is actively concerned with increasing the educational facilities for every stu- dent in our system. Dr. E.E. BrickeU OUR PEERLESS PRINCIPAL The administration of a school is its backbone, its central support. It must possess wisdom, power, and decisiveness, as well as understanding and fairness in setting its goals and forming its policies. Our administration certainly met these standards of leadership and worked hard to provide the stu- dent body and faculty with the direction it needed. Under the direction of the principal, Jefferson Davis, Kempsville Jr. High School strives to main- tain its standards of scholarship and athleHcs. He insists upon an informal, but disciplined atmo- sphere and is always accessible to students and faculty. Mr. Davis attended the Old South Norfolk High School and he served over seas in the 15th Air Force in World War two. He went to law school at WOliam and Mary. Mr. Davis has also done gradu- ate work at ODU, UVA, and GWU. He was the first principal at Woodstock Elementary, Kellam High School, and Cox High School. During the 1982-83 school y ear, Mr. Davis ably met the challenge of providing leadership for the faculty and students at KJHS. Whether taking care of business in the office or supporting the many extra-curricular activities of KJHS students, he en- couraged pride and achievement and made this year a Hme to remember. 76 Academics Jefferson Davis KJHS CORNERSTONES Ralph Sykes HE MAKES IT WORK As student coordinator, Mr. Bob Booth has many responsibilities. These include preparing the budgets for student activities, providing supervi- sion at games, dances, and other school functions, maintaining the school activities calendar, and scheduling school assembly programs. This is his fourth year as student activities coordinator. Whether it was a game, or concert, a dance, or a dub meeting, Mr. Booth ' s work played a kev role in the success of the activitv. His efforts to keep our activites program running smoothly are appreci- ated by everyone at KJHS. During the past school year, Mr. Davis was aided by two quali- fied assistant principals, Ralph Sykes and Ron Keen. Their admin- istrative abilities helped create an environment in which KJHS students had many opportunities to learn and succeed. Mr. Sykes has many responsibilities at KJHS. He receives disci- pline referrals from teachers, and makes every effort to encourage students to improve their behavior so that they can do their best work in their classes. Mr. Sykes is also responsible for students ' lockers and for the athletic program. Returning for his third year at KJHS, Mr. Sykes graduated from Atlantic Christian College and East Carolina University. He taught math at Kempsville High School and Kellam High School. He served as assistant principal at Bayside High School and at Kellam before coming to our school. Mr. Sykes enjoys sports and is a great supporter of the Braves. Like Mr. Sykes, Mr. Keen stays busy taking care of the responsi- bilities assigned to him. He is responsible for all scheduling, for transportation, and for issuing keys. Mr. Keen holds degrees from N.C. State and William and Mary. He is presently working on an advanced study certificate at ODU. He has taught math and sci- ence, and was assistant principal at Independence before coming to KJHS this year. He enjoys fishing, reading, and working cross- word puzzles. Kempsville Jr. High is fortunate to have Mr. Keen as a part of our fine team of administrators. Ron Keen Academics 77 GETTING INVOLVED Over the past year, most every Brave has been involved with at least one of the clubs or activities at KJHS. Whether their interests were in mu- sic, drama, writing, or school gover n- ment, there was something here for everyone. There were as many reasons for joining these clubs as there were students. A major reason was to be around students with mutual in- terests and talents. In this case, the clubs gave the students an opportuni- ty to learn more than they could in the classroojn. Another reason for partici- pating in these clubs was to further interests and take on responsibilities. Members of the Smoke Signal staff, for example, were responsible for spe- cific feature articles . Completing these articles gave them a feeling that they had contributed some of their time and talents to our school. Some students joined school clubs just to get away from the day to day routine. It gave them a chance to see the school as more than just a buildino filled with teachers and books. School clubs also taught students how to function in a group as far as contrihuting ideas, making group decisions, or being the leader of a group. Even those students not directly in- volved with a scliool organization Imi- efitted from their existence. The S.C.A. planned many activities that the entire school could be a part of, such as school dances and spirit days. The foreign language clubs planned a foreign language i stival during the holiaay season. The festival intro- duced students to foreign cultures, foods, and dances. The drama club, orchestra, band, and chorus held per- formances that all students were in- vited to attend. The clubs and activities at KJHS contributed a great deal to our 1982- 83 school year. Rounding out the overall junior high school experience, these activities gave the students at KJHS the time and opportunity to make a difference in our school. 78 Activities KJHS MARCHING BRAVES MARK TIME . . . This past year has been very suc- cessful for the Marching Braves. The hard work began even before school started as band members attended a band camp in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and all Marching Braves began to learn drills and practice in August. The practicing continued into the school year, and the band was often seen working hard after school and during first bell. All of this practicing paid off, and the Marching Braves were able to perform at halftime of every home football game, bring a first and sec- ond place home from the Neptune Festival, attend a Halloween Pa- rade, and win first place at Wil- liamsburg ' s Christmas parade. The marching season ended, but more practicing was still ahead. Students prepared for Regional Band tr} ' Outs, concerts, and District Festival. The band members were also busy with fund raisers to help pay for the bands ' spring trip to a competition in Ocean City, Mary- land. In March the hours of practic- ing began again to prepare for Ocean City. The Marching Braves were directed by Emmet Forbes; head drum major, Latanya Cole- man; and drum majors, Stephanie Kim and Joni Swanberg. The Ocean City trip is scheduled for late April where the marching band, the concert band, and the au- xiliaries will compete. Best of luck to the KJHS Marching Braves.

Wendv McVey, Secretary — Julie Clark, Treasurer The KJHS chapter of the National Junior Honor Society is made up of a group of people who have proven that they are honor students in many ways. Each and every one of these students are involved in many student activities and many of them hold leadership positions. In fact, it was very difficult this year to schedule a meeting when all members could attend. All of these students must have maintained a 7.0 average for the eighth grade and the first semester of the ninth grade at KJHS. These members are chosen on the basis of four major qualities: leadership, service, citi- zenship, and academics. When a student has maintained the aca- demic average, he or she is given an application for membership. The applications are reviewed by a com- mittee of teachers and administra- tion, and the selection of the new members is made. A tapping cere- mony is held in the spring to induct the new members.

The de- partment and the students presented an exciting International Holiday Festival this past December. Each student brought a sample of either French, Ger- man, Spanish, or Latin food. German and Spanish dancers attended the festiv- al and entertained the students. The de- partment sponsored a foreign language week featuring a poster contest, French cooking contest, and a piflata contest. The Latin Club was very active this past year. They sold carnations for Hallo- ween, participated in the State Latin Convention in Roanoke and the Na- tional Latin Exams. Overall the foreign language department contributed to a very successful year at KJHS. 7, ' r : Qj Foreign language classes at KJHS participate in varied activities. They practice their oral skills at least once a week in the language lab and show their knowledge of the country ' s culture by making posters, maps and piflatas.

It all began with the theme party in August, when the 1983 Venture Staff became acquainted and made some of their first decisions. We remember the receipt books, and posters completed in prepara- tion for yearbook sales, and then the week of sales was gone with the first deadline just around the corner. The layouts, the copy, the pictures, the croppers, and the boxes were shifted around until an empty room was found during third bell. Whenever anyone passed by our room , we were seen hard at work trying to meet our deadlines and commitments and decid- ing what to leave in, what to leave out. But if that same person were to enter the room we all be- came deathly silent. All yearbook goings-on were kept confidential so that the Venture ' 83 could be a big surprise. With the choosing of the theme and cover, the painting of the gno mon, posing for pictures at Lynnhaven Mall, and traveling to the sundial on 17th St. Marvann Baiocco, Michele Mixner, Melissa Keen, Lydia Cockey, Anne Slaughter, Amy Bordy, Al Igana, Julie Clark, Scot Kairchild, April Brinn, Cheryl Snow, Joe Briggs, Jerry Lavely. fore the sun rose, came more memories and progress toward the completion of the ' 83 Ven- ture. Probably the most asked question by all eleven of us was, Will we ever get through in time? When March 9, 1983 arrived, it was a happy day for us all. Lots of long, hard hours of work and worry had gone into the production of this book. We were relieved, excited and proud. The finishing touches were put on the book and the final deadline was met. At that point we all knew that it was just a matter of time . . . Class Editors: Amy Bordy and Lydia Cockey. Activities Editors: Melissa Keen and Michele Mixner We ' ll never forget: Gnomon?

Many students enjoyed the dances provided by the SCA. Interested students attended the concerts performed by the KJHS band. Emmet Jr. is pictured here admiring his dad as he directs the band at the Christmas concert. AAA n « k i 1 in n Before Christmas vacation, programs were presented to the entire student body by the chorus, orchestra, band, and drama departments. Students await to move on to the next program. Activities 103 OUR ATHLETES The Keuipsville Jr. High School athletic department is a well-rounded organization of teams that exhibited a tremendous amount of ability , enthu- siasm, and drive during the three sports seasons of ' 82-83. Jltese teams were made up of some of the best athletes in the city and they displayed determination and exhibited excell- ence and true team spirit throughout the year. The sports program has taught us the value of competition and has pro- vided an arena where a student can experience the exhilaration of win- ning and the bitterness of defeat. To accept victory in its glory and shun defeat only to return with a positive attitude, marked the total commit- ments of well-rounded athletes. These athletes often learned from mistakes and improved skills and techniques they acquired from their peers. This year ' s athletic teams had an unusual spirit. Some new coaches, some experienced coaches helped bring out this Brave spirit. The life of an athlete demanded grueling hours of practice, prepara- tion and dedication. With each point scored, each ball hit, and each move- ment performed correctly, came the feeling of accomplishment and self sat- isfaction. To these athletes willing to strive for perfection, no obstacle was too large to stand in their way. 104 Sports Kempsville 22 -vs- Independence 6 Kempsville 8 -vs- Va.

By early summer the girls were practicing diligently to perfect their cheering skills and abili- ties. Under the able direction and supen. ' ision of sponsor, Mary Gamble, the girls were ready for the fall season. Throughout the school vear, the cheer- leaders actively showed support for the teams at KJHS. At almost everv game. Miss Gamble could be seen sitting in the stands giving loval support to all Braves ' teams. They aU sacrificed their time and gave up social actixnties to travel to away games. In addition, the cheerleaders showed recognition for team members bv decorating lockers, making post- ers, and organizing pep rallies. The KJHS cheering squad approached the end of each season with just as much spirit and pep as they began it. The cheerleaders supported our Braves through thick and thin. The 1982-83 cheer- leaders were key to the spirit exhibited by the en- tire student body. They were able to promote t his spirit and help us all Get Fired Up. 108 Sports Sports ' 109 Stack em up Braves. TOUCHDOWN BOUND The 1982 KempsvUle Braves football team had an excellent year, finishing with a record of 6 and 1. Long, hard hours of practice after school payed off for our Braves ' offense as they produced such valu- able players as: Hamilton, Reece, Reid, Wilson, Briggs and Freeman. This combination of players scored 15.7 points per game and brought our team within one touchdown of a city championship. The Braves ' defense only allowed 5.7 points per game with such valuable players as: Bannister, Becker, Ford, Donahue, and Weygant. With the help of Coach Hicks and Coach Flannigan, the 1982 foot- ball team proved that they were Touchdoum Bound. Coach Flannigan and Bannister discuss t he game.

The team was led by captains Anne Slaughter and Kathleen McCabe. After tieing their first five games, the Braves didn ' t give up and came back to win their last two games. The offense was led by Kathleen McCabe, Liz Annet, Lauri Labyak, Laura Lee, Andrea Watson and Anne Slaughter. The defense was led by Wen- dy McVey, Karen Baker, Karen McCabe, April Brinn and Robin Koch. Returning next year will be Kelley Delany and Cindy Sykes. The 1982 team proved that hockey is just a Flick Of The Stick. Sports 111 TEAMWORK FOR TRIUMPH The 1982-83 boy ' s basketball team created a new and exciting atmosphere in the gym at every game — home and away. These bovs, coached by Mr. Chowns, were able to finish a fantastic season with a record of 13-0 to take the regular season city championship as well as the 1983 tournament championship. The team worked well together toward this common goal. Everyone on the team played hard in practice and helped the other mem- bers of the team to improve. Some members of the team may not have had as much playing time as others, but they cheered the team on with enthusiasm. Mr ' . Chowns and Mr. Workman used words of encourage- ment and always knew how to get the boys up for the big game. The team was led by the starting five, Reid, Freeman, Mungo, Wilson and Briggs, but the bench was also strong to help back them up. These outstanding ninth graders will be missed, but returning players Whitehurst, Shulte and Fairchild will look good for next year to begin the building of another team and to prove that Teamwork is important For Triumph.

Throughout the entire season, the girls demonstrated teamwork, spirit, sportsmanship, and ability. They practiced numerous hours after school to perfect the skills and fundamentals of the game. Miss Allen, the coach, did a very good job of working with the players and encouraging each and every team member. Key players such as Karen McCabe, Kathleen McCabe, Amy Harrell, Susan Hendricks, Kim Theriault and Laura Lee led the team on the court. Building on the experience gained during the season, returning players Teresa Platte, Michelle Little, Yvonne Merkel, Lori Ballance and Donna Hutcheson, should lead a strong 1984 team.

Individuals wrestled well, and were proud of their wins, and even some of their losses. This year they proudly wore new uniforms and wres- tled on a new mat. Wrestling is one of the hardest sports because a wrestler must maintain a certain weight while being in top physical condition. He must exhibit strength and endurance. During the five minutes of a match, concentration, quickness and skill are required. The KJHS wrestling team learned a great deal from Coach Spruill, who led the team to a success- ful season with a record of 7-3. The team was fortunate to be coached by someone with Mr. Spruill ' s knowledge of and experience in wres- tling. After the regular season, the team participated in the city-wide tournament at Bayside Junior High. Tim Soady won the city championship in the 77-lb. weight class, while Soady, Cohen, DeAngelo, Durand and Holt had third place finishes. In the tournament at duel matches and during practice in the mat room our Brave matmen showed that West- lers Hang Tough.

After many long hours of prac- hce, the team placed second in the regular season and third in the city-wide tournament. The team was led by ninth grade captains Megan Bickerstaff and Karen Chasse and eighth graders Paige Haw- kins and Dawn Ransdell. Other outstanding mem- bers were Garnett Casey, Leslie Drewry, Chris Ho- lian, Lauran Booth, and Kelly Scoby.

Sports 115 A GRAND SLAM TEAM The 1982 baseball team finished an exciting season last spring as city champions. They progressed through their season with seven wins and three losses. Due to bad weather the championship game had to be played on the same day as the KJHS spring sports banquet. The boys beat Princess Anne with a score of nine to four and arrived at the sports banquet with the championship trophy. The combina- tion of returning players and new talent from the seventh and eighth grade contributed to the success of the team. The boys, coached by Mr. Zontini, put in many long, hard hours of practice. This was the third team that Mr. Z led to a city championship. A number of valu- able members of this team such as Fout, Whit- tier, Engle, Radigan, Francis, Larmore, Dank- myer, Catalono and Stanley, are being lost by the Braves to the Chiefs. For the 1983 season, Mr. Zontini, who has retired from his position as coach, will also be missed. New coach Mr. Benwitz can look forward to using the abilities of returning players DeAngelo, Briggs, and Fairchild to fulfill their hopes of being another Grand Slam Team.

Whitehurst, Kellie West, Dawn Dean, Linda Gard, Susannah Baxter, and Julie Wilson are being lost to KHS for the 1983 spring season. As coach, Mrs. Johnson will also be missed, but will be replaced by Miss Taylor, a new teacher to Kempsville this year. Miss Taylor and returning players Karen McCabe, Laura McLaughlin, Susan Hendricks, Paige Hawkins, Lori Britton, and Michelle Dorland can look for- ward to a fine ' 83 spring season. The girls dem- onstrated that Getting Into the Swing of Things could be done with teamwork. Sports 117 GET A KICK OUT OF IT For many of the players who make the boys soccer team each spring here at KJHS it is the culmination of year round play. The boys team here at Kempsville Jr. begins their hard work and anticipation in early March and conclude the sea- son at the end of May. The 1982 team finished the season with a 5-2 record. The team as a whole, displayed great skill, teamwork and spirit. Mr. Spruill, the coach, proved to be so successful be- cause of the confidence he placed in his team and the encouragement he gave each player. The team was led by excellent offensive players as Bondur- ant, De Martino, Martinez, and Vaughn. The lead- ing defensive players were Collins, Schorr, and Sherwood. The returning players to the team this year are Hamilton, Walker, May, and VanDekel. The boys put it all together to show that our Braves Get a Kick Out of Soccer. f f .

Both the scoreboard and the team ' s enthusiasm were attributes of the 1981-82 spring season success of the Kempsville Jr. girl ' s soccer team. They finished their season with a 4-2-1 record while displaying sports- manship, team spirit and cooperation. Mrs. Jennings, the coach, did an excellent job working with the players on the fundamentals of the game. The team was led to a good season offensively by: Beth Cousins, ChrisH Dona- hoo, Chris Porterfield. Outstanding defensive players were Paige Kelly, Lauren Roper, Sarah Silseth, and Marueen Thompson. The talents of these team mem- bers will be missed but the returning players can look forward to a successful spring season as they work to Soc ' it to the other teams in the city. 3? -i Aim for the goal. . .  Sports 119 HURDLE TO YOUR GOAL Kempsville ' s track team was off and running with a strong turnout of 24 runners for the 1982 season. The girls worked extremely hard and had superior talent. The outstanding abilities of Kim Nelson, Reina George, Lori Brandon, Renee Lavely, and Beth Pendleton put the girl ' s track team at a high third place and only a few points from being the city champions. Even though these girls will be missed, there are shll the young hope- fuls such as Karen Chasse, Laura Lee, Kim demons, and Jennifer Ross who will also have the same chance. This was Ms. Allen ' s first year coaching track, but the entire team can back her up and say that she did a fantastic job. Her spirit and enthusiasm will make it much easier for the girls to Hurdle To Their Goal. Karen hurdles to victory Row 1- Manager; Audrev Emmons.

FLYING FEET Not just fun and games, joining the 1982 track team meant endless hours of after school practice, sore muscles, battling fierce competition, enduring defeat, and rising again to triumph. The KJHS boys track team practiced every afternoon four days a week from early spring to the end of the school year. Jogging through mud and rain became a com- mon experience, but for those willing to pay the price, it was all worth it. With the helpful and encouraging coaching of Mr. Hassell, the team had a successful season. Johnny Tincher, Greg Remy, city mile champion; Joe Brewer with a school record in the 100 yard dash; and Bobby Villa-Lobes were team leaders. The team looks forward to another great season with returning team mem- bers Bill Becker, Salbert Salang, Matt Chapman, Brooke Donahue, and Jeff Cohen. Together these athletes had Flying Feet.

Laura has demonstrated a desire for excellence and achievement, superior athletic ability, and a pos- itive attitude during her time of participation in KJHS sports. Laura was a member of the field hockey team during the 1981 and 1982 seasons. She lettered in basketball during the 1982-83 winter sports season, contributing a great deal to the suc- cesses of the Lady Braves. Outstanding in both defensive and offensive play, she was a strong rebounder and produced many turnovers by our opponents. Laura also participated in KJHS ' track during the 1981 and the 1982 spring seasons. At the 1982 city tournament at Green Run High, she took third place in the city in the 880 meter run. B ecause of her performance on the field, track, and court, and her positive contribution to the morale of KJHS teams, Laura is a deserving recipient of this honor. The athlete who stands head and shoulders above all others at KJHS is J.R. Reid. J.R. has partici- pated in the athletic program at our school for three years, and has demonstrated superior athletic ability, leadership qualities, and good sportsmanship. He was a member of the football team for two years, and was a starting captain during his ninth grade year. During the 1982 fall season, he led the Braves to a 6-1 record. J.R. showed excep- tional ability on the basketball court. The captain of the citv regular season and tournament cham- pions, he was a key factor in building a 13-0 record. J.R. was also a member of the basketball team dur- ing his seventh and eighth grade years. J.R. also lettered in track during his eighth and ninth grade years. Because of his extraordinary performances on the basketball court and his outstanding con- tributions to other KJHS sports teams, J.R. is a deserving recipient of the high honor of Athlete of the Year. Sports 123 A TIME TO LOOK BACK All to often we were not even aware of the passage of time. The events of our scnoolday fell into a rigid routine and even when it seemed the day would never end, in looking back, we realize that the year has gone much too fast. Time together . . . with time to share. As our time slips away, golden friendships grow deeper. These are the outward signs of the passage of time; the ticking of a clock, the running of sand in an hour glass, the rising and setting of the sun. Together we sfiared times for relaxation and laughter, quiet moments for deepest thinking, times for questioning, and many hours of work and study. Although learning is important, the soul of KJHS is in the people involved in our school and the friendships that unite us. There may be more beautiful times, but this one was ours. We now have one last time, one last chance to take a look back on the things we ' ve grown to love throughout the year. They were the songs that seemed like our songs and the times when Miltons seemed like heaven because you knew that special person would be there. These things made us complete, they made us who we are. They made us realize that school wasn ' t just a learning process but a loving process. The end of the year, it ' s an end and a beginning, a time of happiness and a time of tears, a moment of pride and a moment of regret, a time to think of all the things that have happened in a few golden years and a time to dream of future years. It ' s a moment of wishing that all the great times were ahead instead of behind. The end of the year, it ' s a time when we must leave the people and school we ' ve grown to love, but take with us a love we ' ve grown to know. And now that it ' s all over, in look- ing back we realize that it was a very special year, indeed. 124 Time H y V V V V -co A Time 125 SIGN OF THE TIMES As we change, so do our likes and emotions. The time we have spent together this year will al- ways be remembered, and those memories were made special by so many things that we associate with the 1982-83 school year. Along with the faces of friends and teachers we spent a great deal of time with, the 1983 Venture Staff wanted to record some smal- ler, often overlooked things. So in February, a poll was taken to de- cide among the student body what helped make this year so memorable. The top three choices in each category are included be- low. As we look back on the year, we realize how quickly things change. No matter what has changed, these times will never be forgotten.

This recognizes these students with special interests, talents, and traits that make them stand out above all others. The pictures of the winners and the names of the runners-up are in- cluded on these pages. On behalf of the student body, we would like to con- gratulate YOU .

SERVICE AWARDS The deserving receipients of the 1983 service awards are Anne Slaughter and Perry Pascual. During their time at KJHS, Anne and Perry have displayed keen in- terest in student activities and have al- ways presented positive viewpoints as they carried out the many responsibili- ties they accepted. The president of the SCA and the edi- tor of the yearbook, Anne is also a mem- ber of thelvJational Jr. Honor Society and the Science Club. She was captain of the field hockey team, and also lettered in soccer. Perry has served as vice- president of the SCA. He is also a mem- ter of the debate team, the Science Club, the Latin Club, and the National Jr. Hon- or Society. Both Anne and Perry are in- volved in service activities in the com- munity. Anne and Perry are to be commended for their excellence in the areas of academics, citizenship, and service. Their diligence, enthusiasm, and pride in being Braves have had a positive effect on botn students and faculty as we all worked together this year. It is no sur- prise that the faculty has chosen to present these two outstanding leaders with the high honor of the Service Award. Being the editor of the 1983 Venture was an exhausting job for Anne, and Perry always had his hands full as tne vice-president of the SCA. 130 Time 4 IN LOVING MEMORY . . .
