DEDICATION Today the United States is at war, and we can see evidences of the struggle all about us. The publishing of the 1943 Mirror, as well as all the other traditional activities we students enjoy at Columbia High School, is being carried out as always, but carried out in an entirely new light. We see these things that we, and those who came before us, have done each year, done once again; but they are now enveloped in the bright hue of patriotic fervor. This is as it should he. No organization founded so completely on the fundamentals of democracy, and extolling above all other things the principle that man has a right to he free, can go on in its narrow peace-time channel when the very privilege that spon- sors it is threatened. Americans have answered the call to arms with their whole heart, knowing that their very lives are threatened; and with this response youth too has come into its share of responsibility and has attacked its job with vigor. We are now an integral part of this war and arc lighting with just as keen an enthusiasm as those older and more experienced than we. We are aware of our responsibilities, not only in the lighting of the war, hut in the shaping of the post-war world which shall be more ours than any one’s. All of us, young and old. must keep adding to tin light so that the good cause may succeed. Much can be learned from considering the relationships the war has established between individuals, groups, and even nations. Many of the emotions and fundamental principles which lay comfortably dormant during peace-time have sprung to the fore and are part of this present struggle. Cooperation is one element which we, with all good Yankee humor, have watched spring up from the ranks of all men. Coupled with this is friendship, and. inevitably, a feeling of good will among men which extends even to nations. Courage has shown itself a true part of the American people, for we have learned to laugh through our tears. An old adage on which, in one way or another, everything American is founded, expresses the force which has brought the inherent virtues in us out in the open, and that is the saying that “Right will conquer in the end.’’ It has been, then, this knowledge of our ultimate success that leads us on the clear, unboasting knowledge of people who know that everything decent in the world would die if they should fail. A happy end must and will he reached, for we light with the very freedom we seek to protect. In view of the fact that there is one word, one hope, one dream, and one hit of true knowledge deep in tin hearts of every American, we think it fitting to dedicate this, our 1943 Mirror, to V let ory for all freedom-loving people.
