When Jack first makes an appearance in chapter one he is leading, "a party of boys, marching approximately in step in two parallel lines" Further quotes whih indicate Jack's control over his choir, are...."The boy who controlled them"... "He shouted an order and they halted"... "boys began to scatter from close line. The tall boy (Jack) shouted at them, 'Choir! Stand still!' Wearily obedient, the choir huddled into line"...One of the boy's asks 'But, Merridew. Please, Merridew...can't we?' We are also told that, "Piggy asked no names. He was intimidated by this uniformed superiority and the offhand authority in Merrdew's voice." Jack later states that he should be chief because he is "Chapel chorister and head boy."
