PROFILES

stayed with him at the
Y. I met Don my first
day at Ryerson and
we are still closely
associated after 61
years.-John
5.
We called the football
coach's assistant, Mr.
Forsythe, 'Fearless
Fosdick.' He was
fastidious about
maintaining the
gymnasium floor and
that's why we had
sock hops.-John
6.
RYERSON HANGOUTS
OVER THE YEARS:

"The tuck shop,
Steele's Tavern
(a Yonge Street
landmark), or the
nearby Edison Hotel
tavern, where you
could get a beer for
10 cents."-John
The Library ("We
were a studious
bunch")-Ann

studies and student activities. With her studies, she became a dresser
and designer for live shows, including summer stock theatre and TV
shows such as The Hit Parade. She fondly remembers when Sammy
Davis, Jr. was on set: "He was the tiniest man you could imagine. I
had to bend over sideways for him to kiss my cheek!"
Pauline launched her career in food and nutrition. Now 57, she
teaches in the Toronto District School Board, and says, "I enjoy sharing everything I've learned about how health, fitness and nutrition
are so important to your overall well-being."
Trevor runs his own photography, video editing, website design
and social media management firm called It's Trev. He credits
Ryerson for teaching him a solid work ethic along with the technical
aspects of his work.
When each of the Bobyks attended Ryerson, program sizes were
relatively small, helping students get to know everyone. [ 4 ]
John's memories of the early years at Ryerson include chariot races
around the parking lot, engineering students carrying a Volkswagen
up the stairs to the rector's office, and Friday night sock hops in the
gymnasium for 25-cent admission. [ 5 ]
Trevor remembers the fun of Frosh Week scavenger hunts and
parties. Top of mind for Chris and Pauline are the Ryerson picnics
at the beginning of each year. [ 6 ]These included a parade down
University Avenue, for which each department designed a float.
The campus itself may have started off small, but Ryerson has
come a long way. "Today, it's massive, with buildings all over, and
it's a degree-granting institution," he adds. "But one of the appealing things about Ryerson is that it's still a small school in character,
like a family."
Says Trevor: "Looking back, the people I met were the best part
of going to Ryerson."-Sue Horner
