Amy Deweese performing at the Luau

Description

Pacific University student Amy Deweese performing a dance on stage at the university's annual Lu'au, probably in 1971. She is wearing a green satin dress. The original slide is dark and underexposed.

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.
