Description

Opportunity to Serve: As soon as the Victory Corps gathers momentum at Bangor High School, it will be apropos to comment, "They also serve who only stand and wait." For whether "they" are standing by their studies or are waiting for their call to the colors, the students will have the opportunity to serve voluntarily in this nation-wide organization. The establishment of the Victory Corps has proceeded gradually at Bangor High since President Roosevelt announced, late in September, 1942, the plans endorsed by the Army, Navy, War Manpower Commission, and U. S. Office of Education, for mobilizing senior high school students. The purpose is to encourage effective preparation for and participation in wartime service. The Victory Corps is the answer to our enemies' challenge that we stand up and fight; it will enable boys and girls to serve more usefully after graduation, both in the war effort directly and indirectly in other related pursuits.
