In 1953, Elvis was an 18 year old senior at Humes high school in Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis date for the prom was a girl he was courting, a girl named Regis Wilson- a petite girl with a big smile.
Regis had a crush on Elvis, who she had considered "a gentle soul, but he kinda had this swagger to him."
"He would show up in outfits that were so flashy I would open the door and blink my eyes," She recalls.
They sat out the entire night, talking and sipping on soda pop while watching other couples.
Finally, they lined up with all the other couples stepping through a mammoth heart as their names were called and their picture was taken.
Of course, this wasn't the only prom Elvis went to.
Let me know what you think!! xoxo
