Speaker at an alumni dinner featuring redface

Description
-
A photograph of Pacific University officials presiding over an alumni dinner advertised as a "Pow-Wow Dinner," possibly in 1957. The people present are unidentified, but the sitting man may be Pacific's President Charles Armstrong, who served from 1953 to 1958. They are seated in front of a banner showing a pioneer wrangling a longhorn steer. There were at least two "Pow-wow" alumni dinners held between 1957-1959. The event did not actually include Native Americans. From photographs, it appears to have included: white performers dressed in wigs, makeup and costumes performing a fake "pow-wow" dance; attendees wearing Native-style chieftain headdresses; attendees being given headbands with feathers to wear; and decorations mimicking a forest setting. This took place in Pacific University's Old Gymnasium.
