The parents of Hawaiian students would ship fresh flowers via from Hawai'i each year for this event, which were used as decorations or sold as concessions.

She was likely the mother or aunt of Millie Ah Ching, a Pacific student who was very active in Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club), which hosted the event.
