When on campus at OHS, visit the 'Townsend Conference Room' and OHS Museum. They are located immediately as you enter the main door off of Shaffer, turn left and look above the door for the "Townsend Room" plaque. The Room is adjacent to the Principal's Office. Much of the organizing in the museum was and is being done by Gary Stevens, Orange High School Historian and Staff Member.
