A photograph titled Mollie Delilok & Annie Buck, Late Students of "Carlisle" University, Penn. It is likely this photo was taken in a studio in Oregon or Alaska since Anna Buck was known to have spent time both teaching in Alaska and studying at the Chemawa Indian School in Oregon after departing Carlisle in 1906.

Mollie is seated at left, and Anna is standing at right. This photograph was reproduced and sold as a postcard with the title "Educated Eskimos of Alaska, Graduates of Carlisle University."

The Cumberland County Historical Society has three copies of this image; two are prints (PA-CH3-131 and 14B-10-01) and one is a glass plate negative (00314A#83). It was previously attributed to the photographer A. A. Line, but because the two prints are in collections associated with the school's photographer Everett Strong, we believe it was taken by Strong. Everett Strong was a photographer employed by the school starting in May 1908; he had left before December 1909.
