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 ... TIME TO MOVE ON Linda Adamskie Tracv Adkinson Pam Agbuya ' Allison Ainscough Art Akers Norm Akev Tom Alexander Valerie Allen Susan Altenhein Gina Amato Ricky Amos Sandv Anderson Liz Annet Michelle Archuleta Michael Armour Gianna Artrip Thersa Atkins Brian Austin Nathan Austin 1kSuzie Azar Dawn BaiJev It seems hard to believe that our last year at KJHS has passed by so quickly. 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. Ik .m n i . m 18 People
