442nd Soldiers Present Hawaiian Musical Skit
From Hattiesburg American May 19, 1943
Co. L, 3rd Bn., 442nd Inf. announces a Hawaiian musical skit at 7:00 tonight at the 3rd Bn. amphitheater. Men in this Bn. and their guests are invited. The amphitheatre, directly behind Co. L area, is picturesquely situated among Mississippi's famous pine trees. This skit, “You Can't Take It With You,” is appropriately named. s it will be Hawaiian memories done in music. Co. L gives full credit for the skit to Lt. Jerome Smith, who in turn absolutely refuses any credit, saying, “I didn't do a thing! These men are the ones who did all the work!” Under 1st Sgt. Herbert L. Fujita and S/Sgt. Tom Sagimori Co. L has been “on the ball.” Not only have these men worked on a musical skit, but also on their baseball and volleyball teams. Being worked up are several boxing matches — as Co. L, among other companies, boasts several good boxers — “champ material.”

The Hattiesburg American was founded in 1897 as a weekly newspaper, the Hattiesburg Progress.[2] In 1907, the Hattiesburg Progress was acquired by The Hattiesburg Daily News. When the U.S. entered World War I in 1917, the newspaper was renamed the Hattiesburg American.
The Hattiesburg American was purchased by the Harmon family in the 1920s and was sold to the Hederman family in 1960.[2] Gannett acquired the newspaper in 1982.
