Homecoming Performance in Flapper Costumes

Title

Homecoming Performance in Flapper Costumes

Description

A dance performance of Pacific University women students circa 1970. The original slide is labeled "Homecoming, 1970." Dancers in the front row are wearing 1920s-style flapper costumes.

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.
