Ir, nmr, mr help..?
Answer:
You got an aromatic? write it down. If there are 5 aromatic hydrogens, make one valence. If there are four make two valences on your aromatic.
You got a ketone? write it down with two open valences.
Keep going till you got all the fragments as far as you can tell.
Your job is to put them together like tinkertoys without introducing connections that are inconsistent with the data (for example if you put a CH2 next to your ketone, the chemical shift of that CH2 will be 2.1 ppm or so).
The MS (not MR) is useful for getting the molecular weight and formula so that you can determine the number of unsaturations. These should be consistent with what you see in the IR (carbonyls) and NMR (aromatics, vinylics). Also MS can tell you whether you have a Cl or Br real easy because of the isotope pattern on the molecular ion.
