Name of group

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?
