To solve for \( m \angle PQR \), we can use the information given about the angles in triangle PQR.

We know:
- \( m \angle PQS = 79^\circ \)
- \( m \angle SQR = 32^\circ \)

To find \( m \angle PQR \), we can use the fact that the sum of angles in triangle PQS is \( 180^\circ \):

\[
m \angle PQS + m \angle SQR + m \angle PQR = 180^\circ
\]

Substituting the known values into the equation:

\[
79^\circ + 32^\circ + m \angle PQR = 180^\circ
\]

Now, adding the angles on the left side:

\[
111^\circ + m \angle PQR = 180^\circ
\]

Next, we will isolate \( m \angle PQR \):

\[
m \angle PQR = 180^\circ - 111^\circ
\]

\[
m \angle PQR = 69^\circ
\]

Thus, the measure of angle \( PQR \) is \( \boxed{69^\circ} \).
