Two Shoshone students arrived on that date: Willie Norkok and Jimmie McAdams. Thirteen Arapaho students arrived on that date: Mollie Naalta, Dickens, Peter Student, Libbie Porter, Grant, Raleigh, Hayes (Little Plume), Cyrus White Horse, Horace, Summer B. Coal, Lincoln, Garfield W. Moccasin, and William Shakespeare.

Group portrait of thirteen Crow and Shoshone and Bannock, who visited the school on May 18, 1880. They are pictured with five white agents and interpreters, as well as Richard Henry Pratt (seated in chair at right). They are posed in front of the bandstand on the school grounds.

Back row on the far left is interpreter Tom Stewart, and fourth from the left if Augustus R. Keller, BIA agent at the Crow Agency.

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 ten male students, all wearing school uniforms. The caption identifies them as being from the Omaha nation and arriveiving in August 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).

The school newspaper reported a visit by Sun Boy to the school in January 1885, but this photo appears to be from an earlier visit.
