Elizabeth Babcock of East Or-
ange, N. J., seems to be a jack—
or rather, a jill-of-all-trades. She’s
a licensed pilot, a poetess, wopld-
be western novelist and one-time
instructor in elementary meteor-
ology; She recently, completed her
first year in the Newark Colleges
of Rutgers University with per-
fect grades in «U her piuirses. -
The unusual part of it is that
Elizabeth does not have a high
school diploma.
By profession, she was a book-
keeper in a New York GBy bank.
She enrolled in the evening class
program at Newark last Septem-
ber as provisional student under
a new college admission policy in-
augurated by the state of New
Jersey. The idea was to^recogqize
special ability and experience of
veterans.anil adults over 24 who
are non-high school graduates.
Young and pretty Elizabeth
Babcock is like many other cap-
able persons who have lost out
on high school diplomas because
o( illness, travel, finances and a
variety of other reasons. She was
denied ordinary college entrance
though she had more than the
equivalent of a secondary school
diploma.
In Elizabeth’s case, it was trav-
el that kept her from acquiring a
high school diploma. Her father’s
work as an architect called for a
great deal of travel, with the fam-
ily going along. As a result, Eliz-
abeth attended 10 d i f f e r ent
schools in seven years. Finally she
talked her parents into hiring a
tutor for, her. And Elisabeth cov-
ered the required high school
work under tutorage at the age of
17 in 1943.
Then she became fascinated by
planes, and devoted herself to av-
iation. She soloed that same year
and soon received her private pil-
ot’ slicense. In 1945 she secured
hei seaplane rating and third clajA
radio permit, ami, the following
year, after courses in trigonomet-
ry and meteorology, went to work
for an air lines'(United) at La
Guardia field in' New York. Her
job was to plot weather maps in
the .meteorology department. I,ess
than two years later Elizabeth
Babcock passed the commercial
pilot’s written examination and
receive/ her CAA ground instruc-
tor’s rating in meteorology.
By 1948, the attractive brun-
ette, then 22, was anxious to be-
come self-supporting. “Planes are
an awfully expensive hobby,” she
nays, adding, "that’s why I began
still another career*—as a book-
keeper with the First National
Bank und Trust Company.’*
After a while she began dream-
ing aheut still another type of ca-
reer—writing. She was partku-
laily anxious to write poetry and
westerns, ahd she felt she neded
to expand her background ami
further her knowledge. She al-
ready has had several poems ac-
cepted, hut ha* yet to have her
first western published.
When she heard of the new sys-
tem in which she could take a ser-
ies of tests imliontin nubility to
do college work and then, on a
trial basis, take a number of col-
lege courses to prove this ability,
she immediately applied, at Rut*
ger* Evening College in Newark.
She says, ‘1 knew I could do the
work, If only I had the chance.”
Challenge Story

orities challenge the story that
Betsy Ross made the first Ameri-
