Students at a Hawaiian Dinner

Title

Students at a Hawaiian Dinner

Description

Pacific University students eating Hawaiian food, possibly at the university's annual Lu'au circa 1969-1973. They are identified on the original slide as: Ava Fasone; Gerry Yoshida (Class of 1973); Cassy Vannatta; and Clyde Kunashiro.

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.
