Item is a magazine box falling-plate detective camera for 9x12cm plates. It has a Rapid Rectilinear lens, a shutter with two instantaneous speeds (rapide and lente), an adjustable aperture, two Watson-type viewfinders with folding covers, a plate-counter, and two tripod sockets. It has a wood body with leather covering. The camera was formally named the Express Détective but it has been combined with the Express Newness, which is the name that many sources record the camera under.

Item is a small novelty film camera that is disguised as a railroad pocket watch, first produced into early 1900's and sold until 1939. The exposure is made through the winding stem and the winding knob serves as a lens cap, and required special film cartridges. The camera is relatively common, as it was marketed for so long and several variations exist in the "Expo" trademark style, the winding knob, and the viewfinder shape. Black, red, blue enameled versions produced about 1935 are rarer.

James Carlyle emigrated to Canada in 1837 with his parents and siblings. He became a teacher in Brantford, was promoted to Headmaster at the Boys' Model School in Toronto (1858-1871) 13 years during which time he went to medical school earning his medical degree. Dr. Carlyle spent another 22 years as the Master of Mathematics at the Toronto Normal School, retiring in 1893. He lived at 187 Gerrard Street East. During the last five years of his life he suffered from bronchial asthma, dying at home on 13 October 1900 at the age of 70 leaving behind his wife, Wilhelmina (Mina), two sons and three daughters. James is buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery with his wife.

Printed on bond paper, this Provincial Normal Schools standard form records the student teacher's practicum lesson to a class in a particular subject, thus the title, Lesson Topic. In this example, Miss Battersby successfully completed teaching the arithmetic lesson based on calculating the area of circles using a mathematical formula to a Grade 7 class. Because it is unclear where Miss Battersby undertook her practicum, the "Critic Teacher" who signed the form could have a Normal School faculty member or a teacher at a Model School class or a teacher in another school. The date and time of the practicum lesson are given. Also of note, the form itself, having been designed in November 1928 with 100,000 printed at that time.

In the Spring of 1954, the previous year's graduates, in concert with SAC (Students' Administrative Council), presented a "RYE '54" shot glass to each member of the class at their graduation dance. The "old" alumni filled each glass with an appropriate libation (Rye) and toasted the new alumni. While this first ceremony was conducted just for fun, the idea caught on. The filling of the glasses stopped when the number of graduates swelled in the 1960's, but the glasses continued to be handed out to graduates until 1993.
