Elvis Presley. Elvis played on campus in old Evans Auditorium in 1954, and ag teacher Tollie Buie almost lost his job for sponsoring the student event (Buie's son Dan attended and says Elvis wore a bright orange suit and shoes, and the place "went nuts.") Everyone has a favorite Elvis song, but if you can't decide, "Blue Suede Shoes" speaks to the times and would be a good choice.
