From Wikipedia.
In the last post, I wrote about the Shorpy photo about this organization.
Referred to simply as Victory Corps, it was a World War II program for male and female high school students established September 25, 1942, by Commissioner of Education John W. Studebaker.
It focused on skills relevant to the war effort such as physical conditioning as well as to more specific things like trigonometry for the U.S. Navy. Overall, it focused on "science, math, and physical education."
It began phasing out as the war neared its end, starting in June 1941.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
