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.
