Talk:1954

Dixie Darlings
1954 seems to be the year everyone says the Dixie Darlings was started, but after reading this https://www.signaturemagazine.ms/content/dixie-darlings I'm a little confused. It says "...the precision dance twirl team, the Dixie Darlings, was organized in 1953 and consisted of 16 regular dancers and an alternate." Later the same article says "Another account says Mannoni gave credit for naming the group to a sports reporter from the Montgomery Advertiser Journal, who had remarked, "Look at those delightful darlings of Dixie" after seeing the group perform.The sports writers had been there for the game as then-MSC defeated Alabama in 1953." That sounds a lot like they performed in 1953. --LarryM (talk) 19:00, 15 October 2019 (CST)
