Today, on 1 December in Elvis History

Elvis and the Colonel had a meeting with RCA executives. There were pictures taken which were used on the back of Elvis' first album.

Elvis donated $1,050 so that all 1,400 Humes High School students could go to the annual E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind.

Elvis had pledged a total of $10,000 to the Memphis Jewish Community Center Building Fund and paid a $2,500 installment on this date.

Elvis went shopping in the Optique Boutique. He bought a pair of silver "goggles with reverse fade" and gold prescription glasses, with the initials "EP" and a TCB lightning bolt molded to the frame.
