Claudia Murphy, a cashier at South East Missouri Bank, 111 S. Broadview, won first place in a "bank simulation" class while attending the Missouri School of Banking at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield.

The object of the simulation was for groups of students to pretend, for a one-week period, that they owned a bank "in trouble."

The goal was to revive the bank and make it as profitable as possible within that week.

Murphy was a member of a five-member team in competition with five other teams.

The team "shrunk the assets of the bank, worked on increasing loans, which were the largest source of income, and adjusted fees on the operations side," Murphy said.

Murphy has been employed at South East Missouri Bank since 1981.
