King and Queen of the Luau
-
Description
-
Two students performing as the "King and Queen" of Pacific University's annual Luau circa 1970-1972. Based on other images, the woman may be Millie Ah Ching. They are portraying members of the Luau's "Royal Court," in which several students representing the King (wearing a yellow cape) and Queen (wearing white) of Hawaii witnessed dances performed by Princesses (each wearing a different colored dress), who represented the various islands of Hawaii.

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.
