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

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

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
