View of a corner of a room of a female student. A table or desk is covered with many framed photographs. There is a framed photograph of the school band hanging above the desk and there's another photograph, probably also of Carlisle students, sitting on a chair.

This glass negative appears with a collection of other negatives attributed to photographer M. J. Hoover, but he most likely either made a fresh copy from the original negative, or else he simply acquired the original negative and incorporated into his own collection since the image definitely dates from a time before he was operating as a photographer in the town of Carlisle.

Male students in uniform, including what appears to be a small group of the school band at left, posed at the edge of the school grounds in front of a fence. The handwritten caption states "showing farm buildings in the distance." 

A large group of female students posed on the steps of a school building with one older white woman. Some students in the front row hold a banner that says "YWCA."

The Cumberland County Historical Society also has a print of this image (13-15-01).
