Objects in Rose Traines collection

Sometimes we find objects in collections. Here are some examples from Rose Traines demonstrating her connections to a couple major organizations in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.. 

First a 50 year anniversary medal for Central Michigan Community Hospital, front and back views. We find a lot of centennial or anniversary objects in collections, pins, ribbons, medals, programs. 



Next, she received a ceramic Warriner Hall statue for CMU's centennial. These were widely distributed. This type of building plan for an early 20th century administrative building is commonly found in many universities, and I've seen similar anniversary ceramic buildings for other universities. I've also seen them for buildings with more distinctive shapes.


Lastly we have her portable, detachable drawing or sketch kit.
