Thursday, May 17, 1951. BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS, OREGON Former Resident Liked School Picture 4 Tells of y/0ld Times0 About This Area Editor, Pilot: It was with plea- sure that I saw the copy of the old school picture in your paper as 1 own one of the original pic-1 turcs. I am sure the picture was Uken in 1922. The teacher was Miss Gladys Breen and I still have report cards signed by her. The names of the students in the picture were scrambled. Here is the correct list: Front row:| Willard Watkins, Woodrow Wat kins, Pillie Richardson, Lyndell Farnham, Dick Brown, Jimmy Branco and Tommy Branco. Mid dle row: Yolande Cereghino, Maxine Clyde, Frances Place, Josephine Pfefferly (myself) Zel-i da Dodgers. Chiloe Wann. Cath erine Frankie, Dorothy Ramsey, Alwina Baumgartner. Back row: Clarence Crook, Dorothy Peter son, Frances Frankie, Alonzo Simpson, Homer Ransom. Allen PfefTerle (my brother). The boy in beck is Paul McDonald. Zel da Rodgers, Frances Frankie and Paul McDonald are now dead. The school house is an old brown shingled building that was used before the redwood school house , was , _ built. . Both were de- stiojed bj fire m 1935. We were calk'd to school by an old-fash- loned bell that could be heard all over town. The main part of town was lo cated by the road that went in front of Tom Moore’s hill. I have several old time pictures. One is Tri-County Directory Groundwork is being laid this week at Crescent City, Gold Beach and Coos Bay, obtaining lists of the resident of the three counties, to be included in a tri county directory, being attempted by the Pilot. These names will be taken at the court houses, hoping that all the people will, in some manner, be included in the directory. The Pilot, as early as four years ago, was apprised of the great need for such a book. On investigation, it was found best to include the three counties, and already advance sales are suf ficient to warrant a big attempt. Entertains M other sings Mrs. Dewey Akers, one of the group of Mothersingers, enter tained the group at pot luck dinner Monday evening, honoring Mrs. Lloyd Morris, local music teacher, and s‘ate chairman, who will not be with the local group next year. Following dinner the group practiced for the forth coming appearances. the bank and the postoffice which were little shingle-covered build- ings about 9x22 feet. The only large buildings were the company office, Driskell ho tel and store, and the St. George hotel. The company store was located across from the old cook house in an old unpainted build ing. We moved to Brookings in ’19; by wagon. My father worked in the mill until it closed, and then was watchman until 1931 when it was dismantled. Our main entertainment was matching the ships unload freight and shows on Wednesday and Saturdays. Tom Moore’s hill was the play spot for we cnildren. It’s amusing to think of the first radio in Brookings. It was bought by Sager Mann who built the building that has since been called the Harris building. He charged 25c for anyone who cared to pay to listen. After trying for an hour he returned the money because he couldn’t get any pro grams. In the winter time, the storms sometimes would cut off the mail for a week at a time. I Brookings has schanged til it has! no resemblance to the older place of early ’20s. Your truly, Mrs. Josephine PfefTerle Durgin, 1526 Gary Street, Klamath Falls. (The Pilot is grateful to Mrs. Durgin for this information con cerning her former home. The in terest in these pictures is much gratifying to ye editor). Bays Ocean Homesite Lynn Hampton, local superin- tenden of schools, has purchased an ocean front lot in the Foun tain Rock subdivision, just west of town, adjoining the residence of W. J. Collis. It is understood that Mr. Hampton plans con struction of a home there soon. LOCAL NEWS Homes in the Capt1 Ferrel lo district are now being electrified according to R. E. Simmons. Thor and Ole Ask left Monday for the Seattle area where they plan to make their future homes. Little was divulged to the Pilot about their plans. Mrs. Bob Williams is at Bak ersfield for a week’s stay.
