Remember When, Chattanooga? These teeny tiny dancers would be about 75 years old today.

Can you say “teeny, tiny baby boomers” three times, fast?

This cute photo of tiny dancers was published on the front page of the Chattanooga News-Free Press on Friday, May 27, 1949.

Assuming these girls in frilly dresses and fancy bonnets were born in the mid-1940s, they would be in their middle- to late-70s today.

The photo, taken by newspaper photographer Delmont Wilson, is part of a collection of vintage newspaper images appearing on the website ChattanoogaHistory.com.

“This is one of those ‘saved from the trash’ negatives that was fortunately scanned,” said Sam Hall, curator of the website.
