Record Group Number: 10/2.19

Volume: two folders

Restrictions none

Biographical Note: The Yowl began after the demise of The Chameleon. The first issue was published in November of 1930 and cost only 35 cents. Published by Davidson College, but staffed with students, The Yowl was a humorous magazine filled with satire, cartoons, jokes, humorous stories, anecdotes, poetry, songs, and skits created by the student body. The last issue of The Yowl was published in May 1936. Under pressure from the faculty of the college, The Yowl lost its name and ceased its promotion of strictly comical subjects, but most of the editors remained to write for the Scripts and Pranks. The current Davidsonian has a section titled "The Yowl," which is named for the original Yowl but is not related.

Scope Note: The complete set of the Yowl is bound in a hard back book, and then there are several single issues. We do not have single issues (only the bound copy) from November 1930, March 1931, May 1931, November 1931, March 1932, May 1932, November 1932, March 1933, May 1933, October 1933, December 1933, May 1934, March 1935, and May 1935.
