Alumni Former Editors The Screech Owl was first published in 1927 with Harold Glickman as editor. Beginning with Harold the magazine has been entrusted to editors both male and female, Jean Lynch breaking the tradition of male editors in 1942. An editor of any magazine must be person who can assume responsibility, who has imagination and or business sense, who has the ability to organize; therefore we were interested to see how our previous editors have fared after leaving high school.
