Dickie And Evangeline Take Time To Rule Atlantis Well over 200 couples were guests of The Lost Continent of Atlantis as the Junior Class presented the 1970-71 prom. Elaborately staged in the auditorium, the theme was carried out with one wall completely covered in gold mirror foil, huge sea creatures and tumbling pillars. The centerpiece was a 20-foot ancient shipwreck in which live fish were swim- ming through each porthole and giant aquariums were set in the block on which it rested. Guests sat under a 60-foot purple coral reef covered with fish nets and danced among the eleven marble columns to the music of Storm, a group from Santa Fe. The court entered through the giant treasure chest maze for the grand march. Junior princesses were Mary Esther Trujillo escorted by Louis Quinones and Mary Esparza escorted by Alfred Perez. Senior princesses were Mary Ann Garcia escorted by Tommy Chavez and Rondo Niblett escorted by Craig Cooper. Reigning over the Sunken City were King Dickie Zamora and Queen of Atlantis: Evangeline Holguin. Dickie Zamora, selected by the junior and senior classes os King of The Lost Continent ot Atlantis, crowned Queen Evangeline Holguin. Rondo Niblett, escorted by Craig Cooper, was one of the four princesses.
