Mechenical shop with 2 recent LVS graduates, Leon Vrolijk(L) and Rosimbo Kock(R) and Ricardo Croes. Both Leon & Rosimbo are my cousins and Rosimbo is Dufi's brother. The others are brothers from the La Salle order. They were teaching at the catholic schools till in the late 70's. |
This is Leon Vrolijk just 18 years old, at the time a recent LVS graduate. He "coined" an idea in the Lago's COIN YOUR IDEA program. He proposed a change in the nozzle of a sanbalasting machine and with his idea he made 1500.00 guilders which was a large sum of money considering it was in the early 50's. This shows the value of LVS. It was very good schooling for the locals. |
This is a membership card of the Lago Heights Club. A very good club for the locals, still considered one of the best clubs in Aruba, this is the front side. |
This is the back side of the card |
