The Irving golf team had a small turnout with four players this year , Coach Dave Wolf said.

One of the department's main projects was to add the literary magazine , " The Irving Classic ," to Irving's publications.

Irving needed an outlet for writing and other student skills and the literary magazine seemed to be a good way to get it , Miss Quinlan said.

The literary magazine provided an opportunity for all students to participate in the production of a publication

Art students submitted drawings , the Creative Problem Solving Club submitted names for the magazine , English students submitted written material , drama students provided skits for the sales campaign , and journalism students worked with the selection and production of materials submitted

Hom e economics teaches responsibi li v

Teaching more student responsibility , cooperation and management were three main goals of the home economics department.

Coope r ation , they said , helps teachers and students work better together.

They said more management allows

for more organization which make s it easier for students to reach goals

Home economics classes involve seventh , eighth , and ninth graders in 1he same class

Ten types of classes and three teach ers met during the last year, industrial arts chairman , Mr. Dave Wolf sai d

Construction stud ent s studi ed work with concrete and house const ruction. As a final project student s con structed smal I model homes.

Leather, pl ast ic and wood projects were made by craft students. Belts and wallets were f avori t e leather work projects, Mr. Wolf sa i d.

Draftin g cl asse s lea rned drafting techniques and drew house plans and mechanical objects.

Electricity classes learned basic wiring and small appliance wiring techniques, while another class included basic in-

struction in metals.

The concept of teamwork involved in industry was stressed in manufacturing classes.

Small engine students worked with Briggs and Stratton engines. Students dismantled and reassembled engines indentifying each part in the process.

Introductory woodworking taught use of hand and power tools, while advanced woodworking students were allowed to make more complicated projects.

A shop course for special needs students with reading disabilities was also offered.

Industrial art teachers were Mr. Dennis Van Horn, Mr. Joe Wittgren and Mr. Wolf.

Math department improves curriculum

Pre-algebra , consumer math and continuous progress learning classes were offered at Irving. Most other junior highs did not include these classes in their curriculums

In addition to providing unique classes , Irving math teachers visited elementary schools to see their programs in order to better prepare for students coming to Irving.

Another completed department goal

was to improve parent-teacher conferences.

Mr. Adr i an Kampschnieder , department chairman , said the department feels they did i mprove conferences by implementing better organization .

There were seven math teachers , compared to eight teachers last year

Mr. Hansen , the new math teacher , said he likes working with students and helping them achieve their goals in math.

Dedicat ed parents improve educational progn

Irving parents helped improve and maintain the best possible educational program , Irving princ i pal Dr. Donald Grassmeyer said.

Parents showed enthusiasm through parent-teacher conferences and by joining Irving 's Parent-Teacher-Student Organization (IPTSO).

Chaperoning dances and helping with other student activities kept parents busy.

IPTSO published four newsletters and compiled a directory of students' names and telephone numbers.

Day and night meetings were scheduled to better accommodate working and non-working parents.

Mrs. Sue Boswell, IPTSO co-president, said one problem was low attendance. The average attendance was 20 to 30 parents at each meeting.

The two-dollar membership fee was used for financing the newsletters, directory, ninth grade promotion dance and other activities.

IPTSO gave $200 to journalism ac-

tivities for lighting equipment. The equipment was mainly used for three-point yearbook protrait lighting.

The 1979-1980 IPTSO officers were: Sue and Dick Boswell, co-presidents; Caryl

Greathouse, vice-president; [ Thompson, secretary; Margaret treasurer ; Alicia Baillie, memb, and Ardis Burkholder, Jea Carstens and Anne Senkbeil, new:

Physical education teachers devote

ti me outs ide of classes

The physical education depa rtment (P E.) kept busy all year with many activities , P.E. instructor , Mr. Dick Harr said. lntramurals , competition within the school , and extramurals , competition with other schools , involved students in many sports

lntramurals and extramurals are designed for students to have fun and to get better at a certain sport , Mr. Harr said

" Extramurals put emphasis on participating , sportsmanship and competition ," he said.

He said seventh and eighth graders are energetic about sports , but there was a decline in intramurals all over the city.

" The purpose of the two is to prepare seventh and eighth graders for ninth grade interscholastic sports ," he said.

Mr Harr said gym classes at Ir ving offered a variety of learning experiences. Bas ics in volleyball , flag football , track , gymnastics , basketball and wrestling were taught.

The P. E department planned to span-

sor varsity-faculty games in basketball , volleyball and softball.

Mr. Harr said P.E. teachers planned programs for classes as well as individual students.

If a student was unable to participate in a regular gym class a special program was designed for that student and was supervised in the nurse 's office
