BHS History

The year 1968 was a great year for Scott Wood, this was the year that he graduated from Batesville High School. As stated from Scott Wood, "High school students lead a much more sheltered life in Batesville than it seems to be the case now. The things the administration paid attention to were different compared to now. Case in point: I was sent home the first day of class my Junior year because I wasn't wearing socks, but nearly every red blooded boy who drove to school had a gun in the back window of his pickup. Smoking for students was allowed between classes and at lunch in designated areas on campus. Paddling or detention were the two most common punishments for rule breakers or late for class."
Although a lot has changed since Scott was in school our teachers and principle still have prepared and influenced Scott in a positive way  according to Scott Wood, "I received a very competitive education at BHS. It prepared me for college and the world after college."
At BHS during Scott Wood's eleventh grade year the school integrated and his class elected their first black class officer; Claxton Watkins was class treasure of 1968.
Scott Wood's life at BHS was a very great experience for him and was happy to talk with us, as he provided us with good evidence and information.

Book Review

My book was The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey, this was book written about aliens who invaded the earth starting in sections of waves. The first wave was the arrival of the aliens the big star ships all of the beginning to this story. Cassie thinks she could be the last human on the earth but it could be that everyone has died out by now and they are all hiding from the next wave that may hit. Cassie tells the story in her view of what has happened and by the third wave evryone was dead including her mother who had gotten sick from the virus. She was seperated from her family, but becomes reunited with Sammy her younger brother in the fight for their lives they run away to look for life. This book is very interesting and if you are inerested in the supernatural world this is perfect for you, honestly I would give this book a 7 out of 10 due to the fact that it jumped around a lot.
