Whistle-Stop is a fitting description for the fictional small town
of Lincoln, Minnesota. The Great Northern (sometimes called the Jim
Hill locally) rumbles through the town, usually not stopping.
Unless to unload or pick up a package or passenger. Or to sidetrack
for handling boxcars at the grain elevator. When a new young and
attractive teacher arrives on the Jim Hill, she helps transform the
small school into a place of creative learning. And she quickly
spots an outstanding student, who just wants to be a basketball
star. But he's the runt of his class and team. Slowly he grows
physically and intellectually to become a star and scholar. Afraid
his talent might be wasted on the prairie, the teacher wants to
provide him a chance to go to college, despite the constrictions of
the Great Depression that curb that possibility. But she and others
at her college cobble together a free ride for him with a
combination of options they call the "new deal of education." Part
of his package includes work in the office of the Civilian
Conservation Corps, where he becomes the "poster boy" of the CCC to
promote that Federal New Deal program. There he learns to be an
outstanding writer, designer and spokesman for the CCC. Meanwhile,
his good looks, athletic ability and pleasing personality make him
popular with students, espicailly the coeds who gradually make up
what he calls his "harem."
