Jean spent her first few years in Hooper and her family moved to Otsego early in her life. She was only
ten when her father died unexpectedly, leaving her mother to raise and support their family alone. Her
mother soon went to work outside the home to provide for the family, and Jean, being one of the oldest,
had to help care for her younger siblings. Although she had much responsibility at home, Jean
thoroughly enjoyed school and was an excellent student. She went on to graduate 10th in her class at
Otsego High School in 1953.
While still in high school, Jean met a young man named Charles "Chuck" Holly, at a dance in Alamo;
and they were quite taken with each other. Over the next few years, their love for each other blossomed
and they were married on February 24, 1953, while Jean was still in school. At the time, Chuck was
serving his country in the military, and had come home on leave to marry his sweetheart. Unfortunately,
shortly thereafter, he was sent overseas to serve in Korea for the next fifteen months.
Upon his discharge, the couple settled into married life together in the Plainwell, Otsego area. To help

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been
said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling
and education implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended and allinclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower
or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place
in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent (doer) of education can vary from
respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous
scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A
chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other
religions. People receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it
is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a
necessary part of one’s entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose
general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school
at about the same time, take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do
homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the
alphabet or an understanding of the workings of governments, have been limited by the subjects being
taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the
truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.
There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
