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.

The caption for the National Anthropological Archives copy of the image also identifies them as the Sunshine Scatters, but also names the white woman as Miss.

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.

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.
