Holocaust



The term Holocaust means to me that it is a tragic event that occurs. When I think of the word Holocaust I first think of World War II and the murdering of close to 6 million jews. I also think of just a large group of individuals dying against their will, whether it be a natural accurance or a mass murder as suggest in cults. The word Holocaust means much more than what the average person believes. Holocaust still live on today in the modern world, depending what you believe is considered a Holocaust. Many people see 9/11 and the Sunami as a modern day Holocaust event.

Prom

Prom will be a night to remember, from taking a date that you really like or just taking a friend. You won't forget your prom night. There's dancing, socializing, and pictures with your date and all your friends.

1920's

I don't think i would want to live in the 1920's because of the hard times people went through. Even though there a lot of new experiences and inventions there were hard times also. In the 1920's, the kkk peaked reaching millions of members across the nation. The biggest world wars were also around this which changed America forever.

My Junior year is coming to a close


Being in the fourth 9 weeks of my junior year is really somthing to remember and has also really opened my eyes. I never could have thought that this year would go by so fast. From starting on the football team as a junior to joining the trap shooting team, it has really been somthing i will keep with me for a long time. Nine weeks is not a long time, espically when your going to school and the weeks fly by. Before i know it, it will be summer, and then I will be starting my last year in high school before I head up to Conway to go to school and be with my sister and my friends. It's going to be some of the best years of my life but I will never forget high school.

Random-Pioneer Football

The tradition of the Batesville pioneers has thrived throughout the years with many winning seasons along the way. During the 2009 season the pioneers suffered some hardships, ending the season with a 5-4-1 record. This was the first time in years that we did not make the playoffs. Heart broken but still willing the juniors are stepping it up in the offseason. With almost the whole defense returning, and most of the offense returning, the pioneers are looking foward to a dominating season that will put the schools tradition back on track.
