Victory Corps Program December 7, 1941, brought “Pearl Harbor,” and as a result it brought many other thinngs, toe. Among these was a change in our school program. During the first eight weeks of the second semester, Cor.neaut High School instituted a system that never before had taken place in Conneaut. This new system was the Conneaut Senior High School Victory Corps Program. This program took place every day, the fourth period. The purpose of the activities was to enable boys and girls to be a better help, not only to themselves after they finish school, but to their country also, whether they be in the armed services or at home. Besides adding novelty to school life, the program was very worth while. Especially important were the blue print reading classes, the scrapbooks for disabled servicemen in hospitals and camps, the physical litness classes, the Red Cross, t irst Aid, and jiiany others that contributed knowledge all people, whether in war or in peace, should know. Following is a complete list of Victory Corps Activities and their sponsors: Mr. henry—War Stamps and Bonds. Miss Johnson—Pan-American Kelations and Knitting Class.
