From April 28, 1969 newsletter: "TREES PLANTED AT JOSE ORTEGA--Arbor Day was commemorated at Jose Ortega School with the planting of six young trees on the hillside adjacent to the school by Walter J. Morris, principal, and several students. Brian Fewer, director of the Tree Planting Division of the City and County, has been the main resource person for the school and the general OMI community in efforts to plant the area. Jose Ortega students plan to cover the barren hillside facing the school yard by planting trees in honor of outstanding Americans and events. Luther Burbank, Martin Luther King, and Veterans Day have been selected for such honors in March, April, and May.
