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

OUR TIME BEGINS As Iff walked into the halls of Kempsville Jr. High School for the first time this year, we couldn ' t help but look back on the fun of June, July, and August and take a deep sigh. 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
