Dad’s Alma Mater: Brown High School

This vintage postcard, a surprisingly common card, shows Brown High School in Cambridge, Ohio, probably in the ’40s. Doug Stevens, my father, graduated with honors from BHS in 1934 and went on to attend Ohio University in Athens. Although I have all four of dad’s yearbooks, they reveal little historical information about the school. In fact, the only date I’ve found is the year the school opened, 1909, and that’s only because it appears on the postcard! One internet source reports the building shown here to have been demolished long ago, but when the school closed is unknown. I’ll keep searching, and post any new findings!
