Science courses explore 'unknown' The science department plays a vital role in educating the students at Van Buren High School, encouraging them to explore the un- known. Mr. James Colvard, the newest member of the science faculty, instructs students in biology and chemistry. He encourages his students to form conclusions by independent laboratory study. Mr. Jerry Duncan, known well for his extraordinary wit and humor, makes his biology classes interesting as well as educational. Courses in physics, Albebra ll, and senior math are instructed by Mr. Ralph Hughes. Often he guides students toward math or science majors in college. ' 'ji in ' xr - H '- if Y ,..,.....s....,..
