This week at work we've been bringing in our high school yearbooks and chuckling at each others' dorky pasts. One of my co-workers pointed out that, according to my yearbook, I was in the astronomy club my sophomore through senior years and was president my senior year. But although I have always been interested in astronomy, I have no recollection of there being an astronomy club in my high school, much less of leading it. Meetings, events, equipment, a faculty advisor? My memory comes up blank. Huh.

I've had the same thing happen where I have seemingly important memories just *gone*. Sometimes I have to wonder if there was some kind of trauma that is blocking a lot of stuff out :P

There's time from my undergrad years pretty much missing from memory. When I look down my transcript, I see some classes I barely remember and others I just do not remember at all. I guess I spent too many all-nighters in the poorly-ventilated art studios, killing brain cells from all the chemical fumes...

Astronomy club? Who would the advisor have been, Mr. Lindberg? Mr. Moore (God help you)? Are you sure you weren't just resume padding? ;)

Hey, I was president of our "Field Science Club". It was pretty much a fake club whose only purpose was to serve as an organizing vehicle for our annual trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain for their annual Physics Day.

Don't run to the Dr's for your Alzheimer check-- I don't remember there being an astronomy club either.

Late post, but I remember 3 girls in high school who, senior year, had like 20 officer positions total, and ditched all of them except one club. The same club for each, of course, since they were friends. Colleges didn't really seem to check, of course.
