TOM GOLDSCHMIDT-TEACHER EXTRAORDINARE

by Gus Danks | GCHS Alumnus Class of '63

(reprinted from The Maryan 1963 yearbook)

 

Tom was my English teacher at Gloucester Catholic High School in South Jersey fifty-five years ago. He died last week at the age of eighty-one. He graduated first in his class at Villanova many years ago and came back for a few years to his former high school to teach us and to serve as an excellent role model.

I told Tom on a few occasions that he was the best teacher I ever had - in high school or in college. He was an excellent lecturer and an elevating presence to students like me, who surely were in need of some elevation. He continued in teaching for many years at Moorestown High School before moving into the real estate industry.

The book is not intended to be a money making effort, but one to help the reader find more happiness in life, assuage some of the natural curiosity about funeral homes that many have, and also to provide a source of encouragement to those facing serious illness or who are recovering from the loss of a family member or friend.

Dear Gloucester Catholic Alumni:

My name is Cara Keller Buckland '87, and I will be editing future editions of Ramblings for the Gloucester Catholic community. While I cannot duplicate the great work of Kathy Coghlan '68 as Ramblings past editor, I will do my best to keep the standard high as we share the good news and happenings of our tremendous alumni base.

The format will be similar for future editions, but I just wanted to highlight some of the "NEWS" we hope to publish:

Pleasantville upends host GC Rams

The visiting Pleasantville Greyhounds football team is the visitor you don't want knocking at your door.

Pleasantville in September came to town to play the local Lions under the lights and boarded their buses with a 40 - 0 victory over the Lions.

Today they knocked on the GCHS Rams door and the unwelcomed visitor left town with a 49 - 0 win.

How to Land Your First Job After College

  CNBNews graphics file

(CNBNewsnet)(September 4, 2018)--University is meant to prepare you for the job you’ve always dreamed of, but today a degree alone is not enough. Many top employers want candidates to have had real work experience, meaning that the new college experience needs to include internships throughout the four years of your Bachelors. Regardless of whether you prioritized interning during your college career or not, you can land your first job after college by following this guide:

Use Your University Services Before You Go

Most universities offer ongoing support to their recent graduates, and you should take advantage of it. Go to careers services and have them help you draft your resume and practice your interview skills. They are an invaluable resource that can help give you a leg up when applying for first job. A great resume can get you in the door, and a great interview can land you the position, but first you need to practice and refine these job-seeking tools.

Teaching and Coaching Career

 

Browning taught history in Woodbury and Camden, New Jersey, high schools and directed exercise programs for teenagers at the Penns Grove Y.M.C.A. In 1972, at age 47, he started coaching track and cross-country at Gloucester Catholic High School. Despite a lack of track facilities, he was able to produce champion runners and teams.  Meanwhile, he continued to race at a high level as long as he could, and supported other runners by:  

 

• hosting road races for serious runners and "Run for Your Life" runs for everyone, 

• organizing running camps for kids, 

• publishing his monthly Long Distance Log to list how runners finished in road races throughout the country, and

• operating a sporting goods store. 

He won the Berwick PA nine-mile race 10 times, and hundreds of other races.
