"Mixer" parties are quite the
thing in Kansas City, Mo., Mary
Rutter tells us. It is a wonderful
substitute where the teen town
idea doesn't go over so big. The
| "Mixer" is a welcome substitute.
The party is held at the school
house, financed by a 25 cent ad
; mission fee, runs from 7:30 to
10:30. There are dancing and
game (table tennis, darts and vol
ley ball* for those who do not like
I to dance.) There is a movie after
which the gang goes back for more
dancing and refreshments. The
kids get plenty to eat with sand
wiches. pop, apples and about any
I thing else they might fancy, avail
, able.
A mixer band is chosen from
! the regular school orchestra and
at Paseo High School, Kansas City,
is paid S50 a performance. Three
out of the six payments go to the
students themselves, the other
three to the band fund for uni
forms.
The mixer committee consists
of student council representatives
and faculty. They decide on dates
for the mixers, arrange them so
they do not conflict with other
school events, pick the movies
from a downtown exchange.
