Two to the left hold canes or appear to be sweeping, while of the two to the right, one sits against the wall while the other stands, wrapped in a shawl. A Caucasian with a beard stands to the left, wearing a suit. The rest of the crowd pictured are non-Caucasian children wearing formal clothes. An adobe wall losing its spackle can be seen behind them. Picture file card reads: "Mexican Franciscans came in 1892. Planned to establish noviciate--plan approved by Bishop Moray. Church sufficiently repaired to celebrate the holy sacrifice, May 12, 1893.".
