The boys march towards each other and form a star pattern. They stretch out their arms and kneel down. They then make other patterns including a circle with a star inside and a honeycomb shape. One of the patterns looks like the Star of David. All these shapes are seen from a high angle. More patterns are made. Was an item in Eve’s Film Review issue 586 or 588.
