This beanie would have been worn by either Ken or Joyce Hack (nee Shepherd) as a first year student during Initiation when Frosh were required to perform acts, such as shine shoes or sing at the command of other students and often in costume.

The Fonds consists of memorabilia accumulated during Ken and Joyce Hacks' Ryerson school days between 1951 and 1953. These include :

• Ribbons - typically worn by Frosh at Orientation and athletic events
• Shot glasses given to graduates as mementos by the student union
• Crests and decals
• Programmes from the Ryerson Drama Club
• Original photographs of TMU's fashion models
• Feature articles on the School of Fashion which appeared in McCall's Magazine and Canadian Home Journal around 1954
• A rare educational aid kit used in Business Management classrooms in the 1950s entitled, "Record Keeping for Small Business: Hanson's Store Practice Set".
