When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the 47 to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her 48 encouragement.

Mrs. Hanson 51 forgot the dream of getting higher education. When the children
grown up, she 52 again and succeeded. In the class on her first day, when she introduced herself and 53 why she was there and what her aims were, all the other students 54 give her a warm welcome.
