New Teachers In Personal Finance Personal Finance, a full year course designed to teach seniors the rudiments if individual money management, is a required class for all graduates at MPHS. One hundred and fifteen seniors were instructed this year by two first year Personal Finance teachers- Mr. Dave Robnett and Mr. Marc Mauze. Students completed projects in banking practices for the family, procedures for purchasing a home, completing income tax forms, and other pertinent financial issues. I hope that my students can obtain a basic financial understanding so they can survive with wise use of money and how to make good eco- nomic decisions, Mr. Robnett pointed out. Students from Mr. Mauze's class had the opportunity to listen to local realtors and to visit homes that were for sale. They were then required to evaluate each home as a prospective family unit. Mr. Mauze indicated, I hope to teach students that the simple things in life are the most important. Students were given the opportunity to hear speakers from the Myrtle Point business community talk on subjects ranging from banking procedures to real estate, from farming to logging. 1.
