Studio portrait of ten students, five male and five female, identified in the caption as "Kiowa group." 

Studio portrait of five unidentified female students and five unidentified male students, one of whom is a small boy. 

Previous cataloging identifies them as from the Kiowa nation and provides a date of March 9, 1892 for the image.  

Portrait of the school's Union Reserve baseball team, some in uniforms. 

The caption identifies the sitters as: top row (l to r), Joseph Harris, Jonas Place, Paul Lovejoy, Joseph Hamilton, Harry Hutchinson, and David Turkey; middle row (l to r), Felix Eagle Feather, John Baptiste, Fred Big Horse, and George Baker; front row (l to r), Morgan Toprock, John Yellow Robe, and Harry Kohpay. 

Based on the dates these students attended, this portrait must have been taken between 1890 and 1892. Most of the names correspond to those listed in the April 1, 1892 issue of the Indian Helper. The Union Reserves were one of several baseball teams at the school. 

Portrait of thirty-one female students, with one white woman in the center, posed in front of the flag pole on the school grounds. The caption identifies them as the student group the What-so-ever Circle. The National Anthrpological Archives copy of this image also identifies the name of the group, and also the white woman as Miss Shaffner, and provides a date of October 1892. 

The What-So-Evers were a "circle" or a subgroup of the female student group the King's Daughters. Miss Lillie Ruth Shaffner was a teacher at the school in 1892 and was identified in the school newspapers as the leader of the What-So-Evers. 

Portrait of eighteen female students, with one white woman in center, posed on the school grounds. The caption identifies them as the Sunshine Scatters, the white woman as Miss Fisher and provides a date of October 1892. 

The school newspapers say that the student group the King's Daughters had four subgroups or "circles," and that one of them was the Sunshine Scatterers. Miss Effie (or Elspeth) Fisher was a employee of the school from 1881 to 1892, and would have been the "lead" of this circle.
