Every face lighted up with enthusiasm as the
rhythm of the song was caught and the chorus
swung up and down to the beat Of the leaders

leader
The words echoed sweetIy through the big
empty hall. AS part OF the choir was released
from the eye of the leader and thrown its
own resources for few minutes, the absence
of mental equipment became apparent. The
contraltos sank back in their chairs with lack

into d lethargic state or grinned at space; only
the sopranos retained the look Of intelligence
that difused over the entire choir, made it so
