a eR = Q-Bert, Air Force Involve Sophs On Tuesday, August 19, 1983, Jeff Crombie began his challenge of the world record of the video game Q-Bert. Richard Crombie, Jeff's father ex- plained, “When he left the house he said, ‘|! might not be back tonight.’ When | asked him what he meant, he said, ‘| might be going for the world record today.’ | thought he was just kid- ding, but later on that evening, some- one from the arcade called and ex- plained that Jeff was close to breaking the world record.” Jeff and a few of his friends persuad- ed the owner of Cap'n Video to buy Q- Bert by promising that Jeff would try to break the record. Jeff had been practic- ing since the beginning of the year, yet he didn’t have to spend a lot of money because he could play for a long time on one quarter. The world record listed in Joystick magazine was 17,899,325 points. Jeff beat this record with over 18,000,000 points. Jeff played the game for 36 hours and stopped soon after he broke the record. In an interview for the Northwestern, Jeff said, “It’s mostly reflexes. Every lit- tle guy has a different noise. You get fo know the sound. After a while you get a feel for the machine.” “When you go to the Air Force Acad- emy you get one of the best educations you can have,” stated Kelly Fores. This is one of the reasons Kelly’s goal is to continue her education at the Air Force Academy. Kelly has already started preparing to achieve her goal. She is involved with the Boy Scouts Aviation Explorers and is investigating the physical, scho- lastic and other requirements of the Academy. “I! would like to become a pilot, but it’s very hard to do,” ex- plained Kelly. “| have my whole life mapped out, but | don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything”, said Gretchen Schmelz. Gretchen is a very goal oriented person and plans to attend Harvard and even- tually medical school. “All my life I've wanted to prove to my parents and others that | can succeed,’’ Gretchen ex- plained. The things Devin Gaymon likes most about West are the many activities stu- dents can enjoy. “All the different clubs, sports, intramurals, operetta, and other activities at West really make it what it is,’ remarked Devin. Devin has played soccer for two years and was a member of the track team during his freshman year. This year he has a lead in the operetta and he also sings with the Madrigals. “Peo- ple need to take advantage of high school times, because otherwise we are just wasting time by not getting in- volved’, said Devin. At times Devin feels pressed for time with sports, homework, and his activi- ties, yet he still finds time to ski, play racquetball, and spend time with his family and friends. ‘I'd really ‘ike to see more people involved with school ac- tivities’, noted Devin.
