Title

Students with guitar at Hawaiian Club event

Description

A group of male students from Pacific University, one of whom is holding a guitar. Other students sit on risers behind them. This photograph was likely taken at a Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club) event circa 1969-1970.

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.
