Caption: HFP120202-12/2/57-WALLINGFORD, CONN.: Four high school students display the latest entry in the missile race the "Alpha." The boys (L-R, clockwise) Neill Buckley, Bill Bayne, David Gay, and Charles Swenberg have solid backing from the townspeople for the project. The rocket to be fired soon is expected to reach 2,000 ft. and will be tracked by cameras to gain information for more complex missiles they plan to build in the future.
