Wellesley police were baffied yesterday by the mystery shrouding the disappearance of a stuffed owl, from a Wellesley hall, latest in a long line of missing persons. The Owl was last seen at a mixer there last Saturday night.
"The way we see it," said one investigator working on the case, "some guy was given the bird by his girl to feather his nest."
Thefts such as these have been going on "ever since we opened Wellesley up to those Harvard boys," according to a house mother. Another commented that she "didn't give a hoot."
Previously, only petty stealings such as ash trays, hoop races, and grass skirts have been reported. If the owl is not returned however, Wellesley threatens to hold no more mixers. It may even cancel teas. All it wants to know, obviously, is, "Hoo has the Owl?"
