ARRL members across the country and around the world will see Megan sitting at the MSA radio station in Martha’s room in electronic and print versions of the magazine. Megan, who earned the call sign KM4HFL this past January, had her first fun with Amateur Radio during the 2013 Fall School Club Roundup, a contest between schools that have a radio program. Following that experience, she signed up for Martha’s Ham Radio Winter Learning seminar and joined the ACE class for Spring semester. Different aspects and skills involved in Amateur Radio were investigated all semester long. Megan has since helped present Amateur Radio at various community events such as the Atlanta Maker Faire, the Atlanta Science Festival Exploration Expo, the Sandy Springs Super STEM Event, and the McGinnis Woods Country Day School STEM Day. Megan Brown is shown wearing a cap from the Yaesu Electronics Company . Three members of the MSA Radio Club were able to attend the Dayton Hamvention, the world’s largest convention for Amateur Radio in the world, where Yaesu had a booth .

The special event started at 9:00 a.m. with a delicious, catered, hot breakfast that grandparents enjoyed as they took in a full program of student performances including MSA’s chorus, band, and Lower School students. One of the highlights of the presentation that morning was a special display of student artwork which was used as centerpieces on the tables. During this year’s program, Headmaster, Robert Moore addressed the group about MSA’s new Lower/ Middle School building which is presently under construction. He thanked all the grandparents who supported the project as well as those who support the school each year through Annual Fund dona- tions.

At the start of 1996, Stephen Schwartz never imagined he would end the year envisioning his next Broadway musical, Wicked. Movie songwriting seemed to be his ideal calling, espe- cially after one eventful evening in March. He donned his black tuxedo and white dress shirt, strode across the red carpet, and met up with his Pocahontas writing partner Alan Menken at Los Angeles’ Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. For forty-eight- year- old Schwartz, being nominated for an Academy Award was a wel- come twist on his childhood dream of writing musicals for the stage. With his kids at home watching the ceremony on televi- sion, and his parents and wife in the audience, he waited for the announcement.

Anyway, I just wanted to know how long it took you to fully write the score? Answer from Stephen Schwartz: The whole show took about four years to write, counting all the revisions and rewriting. How Close to Original Vision Question from Eric: I would like to know how you yourself feel about what you've done. I know you don't tend to read reviews of any kind, which is understandable. But how close to your original vision is WICKED? Really? I know as a creator one is never entirely satisfied. Would you be willing to specify any disappointments? In terms of what you envisioned and what is now the finished product? I know you can't help but be pleased with the show's success, but is there something you'd still like to do to it if such a thing were possible? Your score is so good, I love the show without having even seen it yet! Do you have a personal favorite song or moment from this show? I know it's a lot of questions.

All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Defying Gravity, Silence, and Societal Expectations: Social Movement Leadership and Hegemony in the Musical Wicked by VALERIE LYNN SCHRADER has been approved for the School of Communication Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Jerry L. Miller Associate Professor of Communication Studies Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT SCHRADER, VALERIE LYNN, Ph.D., June 2010, Communication Studies Defying Gravity, Silence, and Societal Expectations: Social Movement Leadership and Hegemony in the Musical Wicked (280 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Jerry L. Miller This dissertation examines the rhetoric of social movement leadership and hegemony in the musical Wicked, suggesting that the musical offers “equipment for living” to its audience members. Constructing a rhetorical text using the New York performance script, sheet music, cast recording, and three performances of Wicked, I analyzed the musical through an extended version of cluster criticism, clustering themes rather than terms to form meanings. Chapter 1 of this dissertation provides an introduction to the study, a rationale, and a preview to the rest of the dissertation. Chapter 2 presents a literature review that informs the rest of the study. This chapter includes literature on L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its many offspring, as well as a brief history of American musical theatre and its use as a method of societal critique.
