Title

Warrior at the 1964 Luau

Description

A Pacific University student performing as a warrior at Pacific University's annual Lu'au in 1964. This event, one of the earliest of Pacific's annual Luaus, took place in the Forest Grove High School gym.

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.
