So apparently I was a photographer for my high school newspaper

[Reverend_Smitty]

I was just going through some old things that I saved from my high school years (awards, programs, report cards, etc) and I came across an issue of our school paper. So I started looking through it and lo and behold there were several photographs in there that were apparently taken by me. I remember being at the events but yet I have no memory of taking these pictures and I sure as hell have no memory of going to any newspaper staff meetings. Yet my name was in the staff directory and on the bylines of the pictures...I only graduated in 02 so I can't chalk it up to being an "old timer". How the hell could I have forgotten that I was on the school paper? You'd think that would be something that I would remember, right?

Help! I think I'm going crazy!

1. Nah

To a lot of kids, it's just another class. :shrug:

2. We had a journalism class...

but I never took it, so it couldn't have been an assignment. What's even stranger was I didn't even own a camera...lol I didn't get that until I was in college

3. Wait, you graduated in 2002?

Either you're prematurely going senile or they made a typo. Or it was somebody else at your school with the same name? I mean, I graduated in 1996 ... almost 20 years ago... and I can tell you almost every detail of our Academic Decathlon (my extracurricular activity) study sessions in the library. :shrug:

4. I just looked it up, I was even in the yearbook photo!!!

which could be excused for not remembering because they took all the club photos on the same day and I was in about 5 other group shots that day. I remember all the other clubs I was in, I just can't remember this...WTF?

7. That was four years ago. ROFL!

5. Yeah, apparently I was a cartoonist and writer on mine, too

But we had scads of drugs in the early 70s and I was one of the school's main pharmaceutical test sleds. That's my excuse, anyhow.
