Women in Homecoming Performance

Title

Women in Homecoming Performance

Description

Pacific University women students on stage wearing straw boater hats with red ribbons and kimono-style shirts. This photograph was likely taken during the entertainment portion of a dinner event thrown by Freshman at Pacific University at Homecoming in October, 1970. It took place in the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) of Washburne Hall.

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.
