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
