Papiamento: "Den Aruba Esso News hopi bes ta sali potretnan di estrellanan di cine, pero Hollywood no tin den su poder tur e belleza feminina; e fotografianan na banda derecho lo proba esaki. E mucha-muhe cu e guitarra (e sa tok'e tambe) ta Cecilia Feliciano di 16 anja di edad, kende ta tanta di Raymundo Feliciano, un aprendiz cu ta pertenece na e clase di 1941. Den e di dos fotografia nos ta mir'e saca awa fo'i e regenbak di su cas na Ajo". English: "The Esso News often prints pictures of movie stars, but Hollywood has no corner on feminine beauty, as the pictures at right will prove. The girl with the guitar (she plays it, too) is Cecilia Feliciano, 16 years old, who is the aunt of Raymundo Feliciano, an apprentice of the 1941 class. In the second picture she is drawing water from the cistern at her home in Ajo."
