We Have To Make Good, And I Know We Will

Pvt. Larry Ishida of Hqtrs. Co., 2nd Bn., has been playing the piano for only a few months, but like so many of his musically talented fellow soldiers, he is really a “whiz.” He states that music is his hobby and first love, with any kind of sports coming a close second. He attended the Dietz Commercial school in Honolulu and was a clerk in a shipyard prior to his voluntary enlistment in the army.

The only objection he has to Mississippi is, “the weather is not suitable. It's too hot.”

He went on to say that the thing most of the boys from Hawaii were interested in was a snake. He stated that he had seen pictures of them, but that his first glimpse of a real live one was down here in Mississippi.

“We felt good when we were allowed to enlist, and now that we have — the rest is up to us. We have to make good, and I know we will.”
