cal engineer in Esso Engin-
eering. He remained with the
Esso Research & Engineering

when he transferred to Refin-
ing Coordination Department
of Standard Oil (N.J.). Dur.
ing the next five years he vis-
ited most of Jersey's refin-
eries in North and South
America, Europe and the
Middle East.

His transfer to Lago as
technical manager followed on
February 1, 1962. He was
named mechanical manager
on August 1, 1964 and was
elected vice president and
general manager on February
1, 1966.

"All these developments
will help strengthen Lago's
position in the competitive
world market and will give
our refinery a sound basis for
future developments", says
the new president.

As to the future of Lago,
Mr. Ballenger commented:
"From where we stand today,
Aruba's future looks bright
and promising. With the
growing interest from abroad
in our island and the large
projects planned or under
way, Aruba's economy will
receive a healthy boost for
the foreseeable future."

Despite his busy work
schedule, President Ballenger
finds a little time to play
golf and dedicates some time
to his hobby as stereo hi-fi
enthusiast.

Born in East Grand Rapids,
Michigan, on August 10, 1916,
Mr. Ballenger is married to

ters: Janice, 23 years old and

Angel Rojer Adds Another Diploma


To Long List
Recently Angel F. Rojer,
Area Supervisor in Mechani-
cal-M & C, was awarded his
MULO-B diploma (physics
and mathematics). Along with
many students, he sat in for
examinations June 13, 1969.
He obtained his 15th diploma
after completing a correspond-
ence course he took from the
Leiden Educational Institute
(LOI) since 1967. While stu-
dying two or three nights a
week and on week ends, he
received some assistance from
Frere Arnold of La Salle Col-
lege, Oranjestad.
A very studious man, Angel
has a long record of courses
and training he has followed
in the past twenty years.
A Lago Vocational School
student of the 1944 class, he
obtained his LVS certificate
in 1948. In 1949, he complet-
ed the electrician trainee course
of V.E.V. (Associate for Elec-
trical Training), and the
V.E.V. assistant electrician
(high tension) course in 1950.
At Lago, he took the First
Course for Electricians in
1951. He obtained the Electri-
cian diploma (high tension)
from V.E.V. in 1952.
After a little rest in his stu-
dies, he completed a Light and
Power course from ICS in
1957, and the V.E.V. Electri-
cal Installator course in 1958.
At the Kennedy Technical
School he followed the Indus-
trial Electronics course, Parts
II and mI, in 1959. Angel earn-
ed the diploma of Electrical
Supervisor (high tension) in
1962.
In 1965, he started MULO

LO-A diploma that year and
also a Lago certificate for in-
dustrial Power Distribution.
He attended .m Electrical

trical Craft, Angel helped de-
velop an Electrical Course,
phases 1, II and III, while on


of Achievements
a 51/2 month assignment
with the Aruba Chemical In-
dustries at Barcadera in 1949.
With over 23 years of ser-
vice, Angel has worked as
multi-craft supervisor on jobs
throughout the refinery and
concession area.
Married to a Kindergarten
teacher, Angel has seven
children. He says his MULO-
B training enables him to bet-
ter check and assist his school-
going children. His eldest son,
12, is attending Colegio Aru-
bano, while three others are
at MULO schools in Oranje-
stad.
Angel still finds time to
dedicate to some of his hob-
bies: swimming, watching
football and baseball games.
He also acts as swimming in-
structor for his children.
