The Appleby College Foundation was incorporated by Letters Patent on April 23, 1959. It was organized by members of the Appleby College Old Boys' Association (now known as the Appleby Alumni Association).

The purpose of The Appleby College Foundation is to promote and encourage education at Appleby College by way of gifts or donations to or for the benefit of the said College or contributions in aid of improvement of its facilities or by way of the provision of scholarships, fellowships, bursaries or prizes to students attending or proposing to attend at or graduating from the college. This will be accomplished by soliciting, acquiring, accepting or receiving gifts, donations, bequests or subscriptions of money or other real or personal property.

Membership to The Appleby College Foundation (Foundation) originally included all members of the Appleby Old Boys' Association who made a donation to the Foundation, and to any other persons from whom donations are accepted by the Foundation, shall be members of the Foundation for and during the year in or for which such a donation is made. The President of the Appleby Old Boys' Association, the Chairman of the Board of Governors of Appleby College and the Headmaster of Appleby College shall be members of the Foundation ex officio as well as being members of the Board of Trustees, Membership could also be granted by a resolution of the Board.

Ex officio members now also include the President of the Parents' Association, the members of the Board of Governors of Appleby College, the life members of the Board of Governors of Appleby College and those former members of the Board of Governors of Appleby College who have completed at least one full three year term as such a member.

The affairs of the Foundation are managed by a Board of Trustees. Originally the Board of Trustees was limited to nine individuals, with six individuals elected from the members of the Foundation. In 1999 this was amended and increased to a total of sixteen members, with The President of The Appleby College Alumni Association, the President of The Appleby College Parents' Association, the Chairman of the Board of Governors of Appleby College and the Headmaster of Appleby College being automatically elected to the Board of Trustees and the remaining twelve positions elected from the members of the Foundation.

The Fathers’ Association was founded on June 10th, 1938 at the University Club in Toronto. At the time, the Appleby School Old Boys Association (now Alumni), had a low membership due to both the school’s age and enrollment numbers, so creating a Fathers’ Association was suggested. It was formed as a way to stimulate Appleby fathers’ interest in the work and future of Appleby as an education system; to bring fathers into closer touch with the school life of their sons; and to ultimately assist the school in the enrollment of new students. Membership included all fathers of present or past students/graduates, who were automatically enrolled in the association. There was an annual fee of at least five dollars that, at one point, went towards the tuition of British boys during WWII. Funds raised also went towards new buildings, Christmas gifts, supplies, land, and bursaries for Canadian boys. In 1939, however, there were discussions about strengthening and building the co-operation between the Fathers Association and the Old Boys Association for future years. It is possible that in 1945, the year it is believed that the Fathers Association eventually dissolved, the Old Boys Association adopted similar responsibilities as a replacement.
The first executive of the Appleby School Father’s Association included:
President—J.A. Gairdner
Secretary—C.W. Flemming
Finance Committee—G.G. Leitch, J.H.C. Waite, B.P. Alley

William James came to Toronto in 1906 from England and from 1909 until his death was a photographer in and around Toronto. His son, Norman James was also a photographer with his father. Norman was also a photographer with The Toronto Daily Star newspaper.

The Alexandra Studios was a Toronto, Ontario-based photographic studio.

The studio was started by Louis J. Turofsky in 1911 and occupied a number of Toronto locations until it ceased operations in 1976. The studio seems to have evolved through a number of name changes, including Alexandre Studios from 1915-1921, and then known as Alexandra Studios from 1922-1953. From 1954-1963 the business was known as Turofsky Photographers. In 1964 the firm again was known as Alexandra Studio, becoming the Alexander (or Alexandra) Studio-Turofsky from 1973 to 1974, after which it appeared to have the name of Alexander Studio.

Photographers employed by the studio included Louis J. Turofsky, Nathan Turofsky, Harold Crellin, and Roy P. Mitchell. It would appear that Louis and Nathan Turofsky no longer were involved with the studio after 1960, after which date Crellin and Mitchell ran the business. From 1973-1974 Crellin was President of the company, with Mitchell as Secretary-treasurer. From 1975 until the closing of the studio in 1976, Mitchell appears to have been the President of the company.
