The Cumberland County Historical Society has two prints of this image (14B-12-06 and PA-CH3-137). It was previously attributed to the photographer A. A. Line, but because both the prints (and others in the series) 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.
