Ms. Miyazono at the Luau

Title

Ms. Miyazono at the Luau

Description

A woman, identified on the original slide as "Miyazono," holding a camera outside of Pacific University's annual Lu'au, circa 1969-1970. She is probably a relative of Pacific University student Gail Miyazono, of the Class of 1972.

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.
