Ring and Matchbox from Pioneer Diamond Jubilee. The ring and matchbox were located in the Pioneers Collection in the Archives, in an envelope full of items from the club's 75th birthday party. Betty (Mrs. Edwin) Grossman, president of the Pioneers at the time of the party (May 26, 1954), is credited on the envelope as being the donor, although no confirmation of this was found in the Archives' accession books. Other items removed from the envelope include an invitation to the birthday party which is in the shape of a diamond ring, a program in the shape of a diamond, a speech by Betty Grossman delivered at the party, diamond-shaped place cards for "Betty" and "Ed" Grossman, and 12 color photographs taken at the party, which was held at the Congress Tower Hotel. The ring, apparently a favor for those who attended the party, is in a small box, wrapped in silver paper, tied with a baby blue satin bow. The matchbox, now empty, was also apparently a favor for party guests., 1954

Dr. Mary Prank is the prescribing "physician." The pill bottle was apparently an invitation to a tea or luncheon at the home of one of the Pioneer members., No date
