Dedication TT7E DEDICATE the 1942 issue of “The Mirror” to the boys of St. Matthew’s School who are in the service—army, navy, marine corps, and coast guards— defending our country on land and sea and in the air, at home or on far-flung battlefields beneath foreign skies. Not long ago they trudged the familiar paths from home to school, traveled over the lovely lanes and trails of Conshohocken, roamed the fairways of our rolling golf courses, sported in the swimming holes, climbed the hills nearby, fished in the muddy Schuylkill, and hunted and trapped in our ancient forests. In the old classrooms they sat and conned their lessons, dreamed their dreams, and longed for adventure in the glamorous world that lay beyond the encircling hills of home. These boys were our neighbors, our friends, our brothers, our escorts to dances, our teammates on the basketball squads, our opponents on the tennis courts, our gay and debonnair companions of every day. They worked and played and wept and laughed with us, while the happy hours of life’s morning sped past on noiseless feet. Many of them sat here in the “Mirror room” and spent long hours on their prose and poetry striving to make our magazine the expression of their sincerest efforts. As members of the editorial and business staffs and as contributors to the literary and financial departments, they labored unselfishly to give their best to “The Mirror.” From the windows of this little work shop, they watched the fading sunlight on the Conshohocken hills, and drew inspiration for their stories, their essays, and their poems from the lavish beauty about them—the great trees, the shady trails, the woodland streams, the blue skies, and the love and faith of their homes. Today they are far away from this quiet room and, while we sit here writing our themes under the dark clouds of war, our thoughts steal away to the boys who have left us for life's supreme adventure, life’s sternest reality. To them, over the miles of war-torn land and the stormy sweeps of ocean, through bomb-shelled skies and submarine infested seas, we send our prayers for their divine protection and ultimate victory for, “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” As they were true to the little duties of daily life, we know that they will be faithful to the soul-trying task before them. In this beautiful valley they call home, they learned the lesson of service. Their parents, their teachers, and their priests taught them the great principles of religion that will be their bulwark in their hour of need, will enable them to hold high the torch of courage in strong loyal hands. As they value “the good, the true, and the beautiful,” and love America with all the strength of their young hearts, they will meet danger valiantly, will fight courageously and, if they must, will gladly give “the last full measure of devotion” to preserve this nation “one and indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
