Nc D924 ousnsov COORDINAT ION A thing that's stressed throughout the land Impressed on all from birth, Is that there's nothing can exceed Coordination's worth. In kindergarden first we meet With this important thought, And learn our dollies not to start Till paste and paper's brought. As up we mount life's ladder steep The idea still is stressed. The Wolf Cubs and the Boy Scouts, too, Are with this tenet blessed. As they grow up youths are taught In school work and in games, Coordination is the thing That's rnade historic names. Long, long ago the business world To this idea subscribed, And pays right now quite handsomely For good that is derived. Our experts in efficiency This modern doctrine teach, And gray haired heads of big concerns Coordination preach. The Army and the Navy too Have not been left behind By leaders in civilian life, We're glad indeed to find. E! 'A -r 3 .59 v' 3 I? x fmt!

J 4:- I924- DOUGHBOY U X , l l 9' l . be I The former has a separate branch QA black sleeve stripe it wearsj Whose nziygn gngfrg is solely to Coordinate affairs. There is a crowd, most ignorant, That stupidly proclaims The reason why they wear black braid Is mourning for their brains! But that's not so-oh, no, no, no! They really are quite bright: And if there's ought that's gone amiss They'll strive to set it right. The only flaw the system has Is that its hard to find A one of these bright gentlemen In places I've in mind. They seem quite thick in cities large, In fact that is the rule, But one can note their scarcity In places like this school. Their absence here we all deplore- Yet were they here we might Conclude that after all was said, Perhaps they weren't quite bright! The lack that all have noted most Is someone who could teach The younger ones that sit at desks What all their elders preach. Now take the matter of our clothes The things we Wear each day- Coordination here is nil A fact that none gainsay. 1.2 5 2, Q S Q -6 fn 5 I . 'ad , .sw 131 V-- 14 x vw 1 my
