Deselms.

"CPS teaches stud ents different ways to look at a problem making it easier to solve," Mr. Ware said.

Coach Ware said the first step in solving a future problem is to brainstorm all possible problems.

Ground rules for brainstorming are to rule out criticism , "free-wheel" many ideas , then combine and improve id eas .

The next step is to state the underlying problems. This one, if answered, will clear up all other problems he said.

He said after finding the main prob-

lem , brainstorm alternate solutions and finally brainstorm ways the plan can be put into effect.

Training in CPS and preparing for national Future Problem Solving were activities on the 1980 agenda. In addi tion , the club worked on creative writing , toy making and submitted names for the Irving literary magazine.

Jennifer Deselms and Cathy Robinson submitted scenarios to a national creative writing competition.

Boys' chorus adds variety to vocal music classe This year two 30-member boys' choruses were added to Irving's vocal music classes, vocal music teacher, Mrs. Mary Beth Hamik said.

Before choruses fo r boys existed there were two mixed choruses for boys and girls, Mrs. Hamik said, so the boys were spread sparsely between the two and were tremendously outnumbered by the girls. · Mrs . Hamik said she feels the boys ' choruses are working out "very well. " "The boys' groups are able to work with music unsuitable for girls' voices , such as barbershop harmony," she said .

Mrs. Hamik said the boys' singing hours were a "wild and crazy time! " " I really like music. In boys' chorus you get to do a lot of different things with music," eighth grader Jeff Gilbertson said.

Irving athletes support hi gh schools Irving students supported Lincoln and Southeast high schools during the 1979 football season.

Support was given as five Irving athletes played for Lincoln High School and fifteen played fo r Southeast High School.

Athletes we re designated to high school teams by weight classification and antic ipated sophomore enrollment.

Each high sc hool had lightweight and heavyweight freshman teams.

Links' lightw eights had a season record of one win and five losses. Coach Bill Bristel said the team had trouble with consistency in offense , but defense was "outstanding ."

Bob White , Lincoln High heavyweight coach , said "strong defense" kept the one and three team "in the games. " Southeast's lightweight team coached

by Mr. J. R. Connell had a 0-4-2 record .

Lightweight Knight, Tim Magee said although the team 's offense was weak , a good front line was attributed to strong defensive players.

Knight's heavyweight players coached

by Mr. John Lohrberg finished the season with a five and one record.

Todd Davis , heavyweight Knight, said the team 's good offense was due to strong running backs , while defense was aided by fast linebackers.

Mrs . Hahn taught four classes of French , and Miss Walsh had five classes of Spanish .

The classes planned many different projects over the year .

French projects included a December holiday celebration with French trad itions , French cooking , and field trips to elementary schools where Irving students taught French.

Some of the Spanish projects were breaking a piniata for the December holidays and having a Mexican market where the students learned how to use Mexican money, pesos.

The second period French and Spanish classes had an annual soccer game where the score ended in a 1-1 tie .

The game was designed to teach students how to speak with foreign languages outside the classroom .

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 .

Dedicated parents improve educational progn Irving parents helped improve and maintain the best possible educational program , Irving princ ipal 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-

Physical education teachers devote ti me outside of classes The physical education department (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 Irving 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-
