The caption reads, in part: ...perelt. The portion of the glass plate containing the first part of the student's name is missing.

Studio portrait of Mae Paisano and her brother, Willie H. Paisano, both wearing school uniforms.

Note: Although the school documents consistently use the incorrect spelling "May," family members have indicated that her name was properly spelled "Mae."

View of the the school grounds with a few students, showing the back of the teachers' quarters, the band stand, and the girls' quarters. 

Studio portrait of an unidentified male student. The name in the handwritten caption looks like Parnell but there is no student with a name similar to that from the time this image was taken. 

Studio portrait of an unidentified male student. The handwritten caption contains a name that could be Schenandore or Skenandore. 

Formation of students on the northeastern end of the school grounds, near the enclosing fence with a farm in the distance. They are all male students in uniform, in rows with the band in the front. The location seems to be roughly where the athletic field was later laid out, to the east of the industrial workshops.

Studio portrait of two male students in uniforms with two older men and two women, presumably their parents or relatives. 

Previous cataloging from the National Anthropological Archives had interpreted the handwritten caption as reading "Thomas Dummick and Joseph St. Clair" and had identified all the sitters as "non-native." However, these do appear to be students in their school uniforms and there is no apparent reason not to think that they are Indian students and these are their families. 

Students working in the print shop. 

Note: NAA 73251 (see Related Images) shows the left side of the print shop. NAA 73577 (see Related Images) shows the right side of the print shop. In this image prints of both images are combined to create a panoramic image of the print shop.

Photograph of a photograph (tacked to a wooden surface) of students on parade on the school grounds. It is a large group of male students, in a formation of rows, some holding flags, with the band in front, and a student holding an American flag in the lead. Visible in the background are the Hospital, the Disciplinarian's Quarters, and the Small Boys' Quarters. 

There are currently no known prints of this photograph.

Studio portrait of a visitor to the school, presumably a chief. He is identified on the reverse as Roan Horse from the Apache nation. 

The Cumberland County Historical Society's version of this image identifies him as Ai-sia-tiw-me or Comanche John. 

Note: A researcher has indicated that Comanche John was actually Comanche, but that he had run away to Mescalero Apache in 1879.
