Three full-time teachers, as well as sev- eral other instructors, comprised the staff. A total of ten subjects, including business and practical math, provided ample opportunities for all students. For the first time, our school instituted a modern mathematics program which was adopted in most academic classes. This innovation supplemented the school’s success in the field of mathe- matics. MR.

Fine Arts Interboro’s Fine Arts Department operated on two planes. In the Art Department, students with artistic poten- tial were taught the principles and refinements of color and composition; the less talented students were introduced to skills leading to future hobbies and deeper art appreciation. In the Music Department, students acquired musical skill and knowledge principally through band and chorus activities, but particular emphasis was placed on district and state competitions, and on entertain- ment.
