THE CO-ED'S TRIAL BALANCE, by                    
First Line: This jaunty hat was topsy's
Last Line: These shoes...They must be mine!
Subject(s): Classmates; Girls; Schoolmates


This jaunty hat was Topsy's.
The blouse belongs to Rose.
And I always rush the Jordan girls
When I need a pair of hose.
Jo Ann's best formal is my pet...
I love its sea-green hues...
But I really can't remember
Just where I got these shoes

My favorite campus costume
Is a jitter-bug jackette;
I borrowed it from Alice,
Oh perhaps...was it Jeanette?
I date in Peg's angora knit
And they say I look divine.
There can't be any other way,
These shoes...they must be mine!
