1935 MAS Group Picture

In December of 1935, professional astronomer Harlow Shapley visited the MAS at the home of Luverne Armfield, speaking about Novae Herculis. Shapley and all those in attendance gathered for a group photo in Armfield's backyard which at that time was the de facto location of the MAS Observatory. The photo was taken by Ed Halbach.
