WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL, 1975-1980 Dissertation Approved: Dr. A. Kenneth Stern Dissertation Adviser Dr. Edward Harris Dr. Bernita Krum Dr. Elizabeth Williams Dr. A. Gordon Emslie Dean of the Graduate College ii A Magnet School and Desegregation ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The people involved with the completion of this degree over the past seven years are too numerous to mention. I would like to highlight a few though, with whose help the dissertation would not have been possible. To my dissertation advisor, Dr. Ken Stern, I owe a debt of gratitude. He helped me through, what seemed like, endless drafts, always being positive and encouraging. I enjoyed the conversations he and I had at Mojo’s over the past years. Dr. Stern and Dr. Ed Harris have guided me through many of my classes, and their input has been invaluable. Dr. Krum’s editing skills have made me a better writer and a clearer thinker. I have listened to her advice and have become a better researcher because of it. Dr. Williams was the first person that I met when I came to Oklahoma State University and I am grateful she accepted my invitation to serve on my committee and offered her advice.
