Portrait of eighteen female students, with one white woman in center, posed on the school grounds. The caption identifies them as the Sunshine Scatters, the white woman as Miss Fisher and provides a date of October 1892. 

The school newspapers say that the student group the King's Daughters had four subgroups or "circles," and that one of them was the Sunshine Scatterers. Miss Effie (or Elspeth) Fisher was a employee of the school from 1881 to 1892, and would have been the "lead" of this circle.

Studio portrait of two small children with an infant. There is a caption written at a later date, probably by Cumberland County Historical Society staff, that identifies them as the children of Indian School staff members (and former students) Richard Davis and Nellie Aspenall Davis. That makes the two small children Richenda and Mary Davis, who also appear in other photographs. The infant is probably Esther Davis, who was born in 1892.

Richenda and Mary were not enrolled as students.
