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 twenty-two female students, with one white teacher in center of the group, posed on the school grounds. One student in the front row is holding a cat.

The caption identifies them as the student group the King's Daughters Circle and also as the Wayside Gleaners. The school newspapers describe that the student group the King's Daughters, had four subgroups or "circles." One of them was known as the Wayside Gleaners. The National Anthropological Archives copy of this image identifies the white woman as Mrs. Dixon, who the school paper confirms was chosen as the "lead" of the Wayside Gleaners. She was the wife of school physician C. Dixon from 1891 to 1892. That copy of the image also has the date October 1892.
