Studio portrait of Mary R. Hyde, a teacher, and Grace Cook.

The Cumberland County Historical Society dates this image to July 1881, presumably because of an inscription on the original. 

Portrait of twelve male students, all wearing uniforms and holding instruments, posed with a white woman, also holding an instrument, in front of the bandstand on the school grounds.

This is the school band and the woman is almost definitely Mrs. Walter E. Baker who provided the funds to buy the instruments for the band. The school newspaper reported that she visited the school on November 11, 1881 and the "boys with the horns" played for her. 

In the print versions of this image [see version 2] Mrs. Baker is almost entirely cropped out, with only a bit of her black skirt visible.

Studio portrait of eleven female students in school uniforms. Caption information states they are from the Omaha nation and entered in 1882.

Records show twenty male students from the Omaha nation arriving at this time. It is possible that the other ten are the sitters in another image from the National Anthropological Archives (NAA_74310; Photo Lot 81-12 06908100).
