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

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).
