Mystery #11 (Solved)
7/6 Hint: Both buildings used to be on the same block.
7/7 Hint: Kids started attending one building in 1971 and kids stopped attending the other in 2005.
7/8 Hint: See photo at the bottom of page.
7/9 Hint: See another new photo below.
7/13 Hint: I ran the same roll of film through the camera twice (double exposure).

I've gone to my 1971 archive of photos for this mystery. The two black & white photos above are actually 4 different shots. Other than adding my cvilleok.com logo these photos are not digitally altered. To win the mystery #11 contest, I needed the following 4 answers:

  1. How a double image was obtained on film.
    (I ran the same roll of film thru the camera twice)
  2. What building is shown in the cat photo.
    (Middle School building at 15th & Spring)
  3. What building is shown in the flower photo.
    (former Middle School Annex at 14th & Spring ... also former Central School Building)
  4. The name of the flower. (Tiger Lilly)

The first 3 correct entries won a prize from Ms. Nancy's Shaved Ice. (Note: Mystery 10 winners are welcome to try for fun, but let someone else claim the prizes this time). -- Ted 7/5
Susan Catlett & Mystery Man have submitted correct answers (7/6) but three prizes at Ms. Nancy's Shaved Ice are still available. Ted 7/7
Sharon Kirwin & Elizabeth Sullivan have submitted a combined entry with the correct answers. Lori Moore emailed the correct answer Sunday 7/10. Justin Howard is the 3rd and final winner 7/14.
Forms for the revised parking on the south end of the middle school block are taking shape this week. When the new building on the north end of the block is completed, the administrative offices and the main entrance will move there. The middle school building above was built in 1971.
Hint 4: This is a "Tiger Lilly".
