MUSIC is reputed to have power to soothe the savage beast. Possibly that is the reason why, while still in Fourth Class In- struction Barracks, each of us has a chance to show his vocal ability in a tryout for the Choir. We all sing Glory to God, and Mr. .Mayer replies, to most of us, Next! Some few out of each class are chosen, and are added to the Choir, which is normally about one hundred and fifty voices strong.
