Studio portrait of Chauncey Yellow Robe (Timber Yellow Robe) as he graduated in 1895.

Group portrait of twenty-six male students and one white man, presumably a coach or advisor--the 1895 football team. 

See Cumberland County Historical Society image PA-CH1-084d (in Related Images) for a smaller group photo of the team and more information about those students who may be included.

Studio portrait of Angelina Chippewa.

Studio portrait of six young students. Based on their clothing, they all would appear to be girls but some of the faces appear to be male. No further information is available. 

Group portrait of sixteen male students from the 1895 football team. 

In his 1951 book, Fabulous Redmen, John Steckbeck identifies the sitters as: top row (l to r), Lone Wolf, McFarland, Smith, H. Pierce, and Nori; middle row (l to r), Redwater, Cayou, Metoxen, B. Pierce, Seneca and Printup; bottom row (l to r), Unidentified, Wheelock, Hudson, Miller, and Unidentified. Interestingly, some of these names do not appear on Steckbeck's roster for the 1895 team in the same book. The CCHS print of the image does not appear to be labeled so it is not clear what Steckbeck's identification is based on, presumably another copy of the image. 

See Cumberland County Historical Society image PA-CH3-093 (in Related Images) for a larger group of the same team.

This is probably one of the informal baseball teams organized to play other school teams. 

Portrait of a large group of male and female students with some female teachers posed next to the south side of the Administration Building. 

The name written on the reverse (Hattie Norman) is not a student, so presumably it was the name of the Carlisle resident who owned the photograph.

The Cumberland County Historical Society identifies the band leader as Dennison Wheelock.
