Three young girls wearing fancy white dress, standing outside the Residential School. In front are Agatha Francis (on left) and Kate Francis, holding a basket decorated with white ribbon and white paper flowers. The young girl at rear is unidentified. Dr. Basque writes, "We, older girls, were required to make our uniforms, brown woolen skirt and pillow ticking blouses. The only day we were allowed to dress up was on May procession Sunday."
