Abstract

Description

Photograph of four men planting a tree taken on February 13, 1968. The accompanying press release states "TECH TREE CEREMONY -- Dewey L. Shroyer, Texas Tech superintendent for care and maintenance of grounds, places a live oak carefully into near-frozen ground Tuesday near the north entrance to Weeks Hall. The tree is a gift of Tech's newly formed Jewish Student Organization, which planted the tree in recognition of Tu Bishavat, a minor holiday similar to Arbor Day. JSO President Charles Shelan, left, Roscoe sophmore, handles one shovel, while San Antonio sophomore Phil Spiegel handles the other. Bob Whitehill, Lubbock Junior, who officiated at a brief blessing, is in the background." (Tech Photo)
