Name of group[edit]

The yearbook entries in the early 20th century all call this the O.W.L. Club or O.W.L. Was it called the O.W.L. Society prior to its reformation? Rublamb (talk) 01:18, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

...And did the initials ever stand for something? Or were the periods between the letters simply an affectation?
