She be¬ came program adviser in 1926 and chief adviser in 1927. She continued in this capacity until the fall of 1945.

SYLVANUS MARION WOLFE In the death of Mr. S. M. Wolfe, the teachers and pupils of the Newark City Schools lost a true friend. He was keenly interested in education, in the welfare of youth, and in the personnel of the Newark school - teaching staff. This interest was manifest in the unlimited amount of time and energy that he gave so unstintingly to the city school system. At the time of his death, he was serving his eighteenth year as a member of the Newark City Board of Education. In 1912, Mr. Wolfe became a resident of Newark. He formerly had been associated with the rubber industries in Akron, Ohio. His knowledge of tire manufacturing enabled him to establish a business in North Newark known as the Newark Tire and Rubber Company. Following this venture, he became a retail tire dealer in North Third Street, a business known as the Wolfe Tire and Accessories Store. In this business he was engaged for the remainder of his life. On November 5, 1947, Mr. Wolfe became ill at his home, 95 Fairfield Avenue. Apparently there was no immediate awareness of the seriousness of his illness on the part of anyone. How¬ ever, on November 7, 1947, Mr. Wolfe died suddenly of a heart attack. A wide range of experience, knowledge of the city, and well balanced character made Mr. Wolfe a worthy citizen of Newark. His counsel and leadership were sought by many. His pro¬ gressive and constructive efforts in various civic affairs will be remembered by the community which he ably served. Nine
