Queen's dance

Title

Queen's dance

Description

A Pacific University student dressed as the "Queen" of the annual Lu'au, wearing a white satin dress, circa 1970. Based on other images from the same series of slides, this photograph may have been taken during a rehearsal or possibly during an alternate dance performance hosted by Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club).

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.
