Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Boy's barbar not up to TASC. Darcy O'Connor; 9; wanted the initials TASC inlaid into his hair to adverise his Toronto Aquanauts Swim Club affiliation. Unfortunately; his barbar couldn't quite handle the task and Darcy has a 'k' where he wanted a 'c. Darcy didn't let it get him down; however. He came in third in the 100-metre butterfly for boys under 10 (shown getting under the way in the picture above) at the U of T.
