Performers at the Luau

Description

Pacific University students performing at the annual Lu'au probably between 1971-1973. They are identified on the original slide from left to right as: Leila Tong; Paul Ho; Jan Olingy (Class of 1973); Bill Vincent (Class of 1973); Cathy Chung (Class of 1973); Sheldon Spencer; Jill Matsui (Class of 1972); and Russell Onuma (Class of 1972). The original slide is dark and underexposed.

Pacific University began hosting an annual Lu'au in 1961. Student members of Na Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club) organized and performed in the event, raising money for scholarships. The Lu'au included a dinner, sales of leis and other products flown in from Hawai'i, and performances of Pacific island dances. The Lu'au is normally held on the second Saturday in April in Washburne Hall. The name of the event was changed to Lu'au and Ho'ike in 2019.
