No, of course there was no caption beneath this picture, explaining why two boys had owls in their laps. That would be too easy! And then I might actually get it–which I don’t. I checked, and the high school mascot was not an owl. This was presumably not a bird-watching club. I doubt it was an anti-pollution group back in ’49 (give a hoot; don’t pollute, per Woodsy Owl). I’m stumped. In any event, I was under the impression that you could not tame a raptor. However, these two look quite tame.
I Don't Get It 
I hate to even consider this fate for those beautiful birds, but, Kerbey … stuffed?

Maybe they thought it would be amusing to have people ask “Who Who is that?” Maybe not–funnier in my head. But not anymore. I should push cancel. I wont.

I think that markbialczak hit the nail on the head. They’re stuffed,and this a pic of the Taxidermy Club. The Stuff Its. The dude on the far right, with the Errol Flynn mustache is the Royal Raptor. Sort of the Sergeant of Arms. It all makes sense now.

It does. I concur. I need to start assuming things are dead. Like Errol Flynn, who was much more dashing than the Royal Raptor.
LikeLike
True. But did Errol know how to stuff a bird?

Actually, he worked at several jobs before acting, including diamond-smuggler, pearl-diver, reporter, bird-trapper, gigolo and charter-boat captain. So PERHAPS during his bird-trapping years? Either way, he got the title of swashbuckler. Do we have any more swashbucklers around these days?

I almost missed this informational jewel. I had no idea he had such a diverse background. As far as swashbucklers go I think that term has an entirely different meaning now.

Oh, look what I just found out–Errol is the name of the Weasley’s family owl in the Harry Potter books. So Errol and owls DO go together!

Wow. I have never read Harry Potter, but that certainly sounds almost like destiny, or something. Now whenever I see the movie Robin Hood with him in it I will think of an owl. Thanks. I think.

I will be the one brave enough to suggest that maybe just maybe its a taxidermy club and the owls were their first attempt at wood, glue, feathers, fake eyeballs, and sawdust
