, 2 . 8 f.y,w....r 'W 00 AQUA PARADISE On May 21, 1954, the Juniors trans- formed the gymnasium into Neptune's un- dersea kingdom. A pink sea shell har- bored the Astoria Club Orchestra of Al- bany. The aqua blue ceiling shed an iri- descent light upon marine animals, exotic fishes and mermaids, which adorned the walls. This evening added another un- forgettable memory to our collection. -d':Qr 'I Front Row, left to right: Mrs. G. Cun- ningham, Adviser, P. Hinderstein, E Physher. lf. Omphalius, G. Poplock, P.
