Title

Chorus singers at the 1969 Luau

Description

Chorus singers at Pacific University's annual Lu'au in 1969. They are identified on the original slide as: Cal Inouye, Karen Nose, Linda Minami (wearing name tag; Class of 1972), and Keith Nagano. According to the student newspaper, the 1969 Lu'au featured "a newly organized Hawaiian choir that will sing traditional Hawaiian and modern songs."

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.
