“How to Win Friends and Influence
People," and a series of fan letters.
You know the girl now as the

Mullenger. She was a farm girl, and
she looked it. She was awkward and
bashful and dressed in something
made over from last year. The boys
teased her and the girls made fun
of her clothes.
Teacher Tompkins saw what was
happening. He called Donna to his
office. He told her about a bashful
farm boy from Winterset. Iowa, who
had gone to school dressed in his
father’s cut-down trousers and who
had suffered the same juvenile
chiding from fellow students
He told her how the boy had
overcome these obstacles. He knew
it could be done, he said, because
Jie was the boy. Then, for good
measure, lie gave her a copy of the
book, "How to Win Friends mid In-
