Abstract
This paper is a study and description of how one school was affected by and involved in a court mandated desegregation program. The thesis deals with the teachers and how their lives were affected with the introduction of the mandate.
The fourteen teachers interviewed had been in the Thorndell School for many years and, thus, were able to be an integral part of the newly instituted program. They were able to give candid descriptions of the changes at the school with the full knowledge of "how it had been" as well as "how it is now."
These t 3achers, as the study indicates , have found methods of coping with problems that arose and have offered some concrete suggestions for improving the program.
