Title

Stringing leis for the Luau

Description

Students, probably members of Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club), stringing leis in preparation for one of Pacific University's annual Lu'aus. This photograph was likely taken circa 1972-1973.

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.
