Title

Millie Ah Ching at the 1969 Luau

Description

A Pacific University student, identified on the original slide as Millie Ah Ching, dressed in pink at the university's annual Lu'au in 1969. She was the chairman of the event.

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.
