By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff Open for an hour a day, the bank is a table filled with stacks of money and blank checks. Lots of money. Fives, tens, twenties, fifties. The bank president sits behind the table, busily recording transactions. There are no guards, no vaults, no security system. But the First Bank of Lake- a Noxen Elementary School isn’t an oo easy holdup target. And the money : isn’t real. Thebank is alearning experience for Mr. Armonde Casagrande’s and Mr. Mark Steele's fourth graders, who earn and spend or save specially printed Lake-Noxen dollars. “You can't sign someone else's check. You can’t write a check for more money than you have,” explained the students. They even knew who had the most cash (Allison Bevan, with $600) and who had the least (R.J. Frey, $0.) The students “earn” money by performing well on tests, volunteering answers, participating in class reviews, doing extra credit projects and helping their teachers by distributing and collecting papers, washing the chalk boards and running messages. ~The teachers fine students by deducting money from their checking accounts for failing to do homework, disorderly conduct, bouncing checks or failing todo an assigned class job. “I got some fines for not doing my homework. That's why I don’t have any money,” J.R. Frey explained. Since the students can’t spend their money at area businesses, Casagrande has set up special extra-curricular events and auctions, offering rulers, colored pens, novelty erasers and books. Students may also buy passes to use the class’s computerized learning games or rent “houses,” two desks placed together where they may sit with a friend for a month. “Rents come due next week and I don’t think that some of them have enough money in their accounts,” said Mrs. Faythe Roberts, a parent volunteer who serves as bank president, working five hours a week recording all cash transactions and taking care of the money. Casagrande set up the program — to show students how.they will use the math that they learn in class Hunting dates to remember With the fall hunting seasons having begun with archery on Saturday, October 3, hunters should be aware of these important dates for hunting seasons and license application deadlines.

Dove) makes out a check from his their money, pay bills, compute interest and balance their checking accounts. “We tried to duplicate real-life conditions as accurately as possible,” he said. “We hope that when the students begin to manage their own money, they'll remember the mistakes that they made here and not repeat them.” To acquaint the class with banking procedures, William Durdach, a vice-president at First Eastern Bank and professor of finance at Penn State, visited the school Wednesday, October 14. After explaining to the students how a bank makes its money, what a credit rating is and how customers apply for loans, Durdach fielded questions. “What happens if you take out a loan and die before it's paid off?” John Sutliff asked. Maureen White had several questions. “Will a bank lend you $5 or $10? What's the size of the biggest loan that your bank made? Will a bank lend you money for medical bills?” “How old do you have to be to have 'your own bank account” asked Katie Britt. Scott Chimock seemed slightly disappointed that a bank would lend money to purchase baseball cards only if they were a good investment, such as an original Mickey Mantle. Before beginning the banking program, only four fourth-graders had ever been in a bank, although several had visited the MAC machines with their parents, Casagrande said. Most of them couldn't believe that the bank actually has a big locked room where they keep the money under guard (the vault). Casagrande hopes to organize a class field trip to a local bank. “By choosing how they spend or save their money and having to live with the consequences, the students are acquiring life skills,” Casagrande said. “The fourth-grade banking program is a good lesson in economics and life skills for the students,” said principal Bob Kunkle. “We all need a better understanding of this.” Although any fourth-grader may use the bank, Casagrande said that one or two students don’t have accounts, preferring to hold on to their money themselves. “They don’t trust the system.” in Bulgarian seminar Lee S.
