Dear Friend of Gloucester Catholic,

 

We are calling on you for your support as well as assistance to help SPREAD THE WORD!!! From March 18th - March 22nd, Gloucester Catholic will be hosting its 2nd Annual Philanthropy Week. All funds raised during this very important week will be directed in support of scholarship and much needed financial aid for Gloucester Catholic students.

Donors to Gloucester Catholic's 2nd Annual Philanthropy Week will have the chance to see their gift grow because of generous giving challenges offered by other members of the alumni and school community.

Battle of Gloucester

Tuesday, November 25, 1952 was the 175^th anniversary of the Battle, and sometimes referred to as the skirmish at Gloucester.

Here are some of the events that led up to that engagement. On July 4, 1776, besides the action of the Continental Congress which we, as a nation celebrate, occurred another historic event. Six hundred pounds of Pennsylvania currency was ordered paid to Margaret M. Paul, widow of John Paul, and Benjamin Weatherby one of her sons, for 96 acres at Billingsport. The deed, dated July 5, 1776, is on record in the Gloucester County Court House, Woodbury, conveying the land to George Clymer and Michael Hillegas, treasurers of the Thirteen United Colonies.

Why Vaporizes are Taking over the Smoking Industry

 

(CNBNewsnet)(January 10, 2019)--Vaporizers are devices that are used to vaporize a substance before it is inhaled. Colloquially, they are known as vapes. The substances used include tobacco, marijuana, propylene glycol, glycerin, and nicotine.

When smoking, the herbs normally release the intended substance at temperatures lower than the burning temperature. Vaporizers thus take advantage of this and offer the tool which can release the substance without combusting the herb. They thus result in a more efficient extraction of the substance at the same time saving the consumer from the irritating and unhealthy effects of inhaling smoke.

Vaporizers come in different forms, the most famous are the E-cigarette and the marijuana vaporizer.

The e-cigarette is an electronic device that stimulates the effects of smoking without the actual burning of tobacco. It is powered by a battery. The user presses a button or puffs on it to activate it. They resemble cigarettes and are marketed as an alternative to smoking hence a way to stop smoking.

Marijuana vaporizers are a type of dab rigs and vaporize the substance by heating it with a metal component.

The use of vaporizers is growing very fast. By mid-2020s, the total market is predicted to approach $50 billion. What are the odds though that vaporizers are taking over?

Self Defense for College Students-2019 Guide To Campus Protection

(CNBNewsnet)(December 14, 2018)--Many college students and institutions are aware of the importance of personal safety and self-defense, but not everyone knows the best
ways to defend yourself. From keeping yourself prepared when out alone to knowing how to defend yourself and what to use, these rules will help in any campus. Don’t just arm yourself with a knife or stun gun, learn how to use them and how to avoid getting into a situation where they are needed. If you or a loved one are heading off to college, keep in mind these simple rules.

1.Keep off your phone

The first step to avoid trouble is to be aware of your surroundings and stay off your phone. In the modern world of college campuses it is hard to look around and not see someone staring at their phone screen unaware of what is going on around them. Especially when walking alone or at night, stay off the screen as it makes you more vulnerable to being attacked as well as increasing the chance of other dangers such as cars.

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.

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:

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.
