Portrait of fifteen female students with a female teacher posed in front of and on the bandstand on the school grounds. The caption on the album page identifies them as Creek students who arrived in January 1881. 

The Cumberland County Historical Society and has identified them as: front row, left to right, Elizabeth McIntosh, Rosa Ross, Millie McIntosh, Eliza Chissoe, Ella Moore, Sarah Elizabeth Crowell, Elizabeth McNac, Minnie Atkins; back row, left to right, Eliza Bell, Rachel Checote, Millie Brown, Bessie West, Martha Elizabeth Moore, Nancy McIntosh, and Jane Freeman. These identifications are confirmed by the captions of the copy of the image at the American Philosophical Society.  

A researcher has indicated that the teacher pictured is likely Alice Robertson.

The student newspaper records a visit by Standing Buffalo to the school in January of 1881, so that is probably when this photo was taken.

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.
