Hui o Lōkahi, a student-run Hawaiian club, celebrated Linfield’s 50th annual Lū’au (feast and performance) and Ho’ike (sharing of knowledge) on April 29. An overflow audience of nearly 1,000 people crowded into Ted Wilson Gymnasium to experience the island culture in McMinnville. The crowd was treated to 15 dances, highlighting various Polynesian cultures and showcasing the talents of 56 student dancers, along with music from Hawaiian country artists Kala’e + Kalena, featuring alumnus Kala’e Parish ’12. The organizers paid special tribute to the history of the event with a display featuring photos of past events from alumni and the Linfield Archives.
