Sue Yokouchi and other parents at the Luau

Description

Sue Yokouchi with several other parents and relatives of students getting ready to attend Pacific University's annual Lu'au, circa 1969-1970. Sue Yokouchi was likely the mother of Karen Yokouchi, Pacific University 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.
