ok but a Kaieteur News reunion of QC said it was Dr. Allsoop followed by Mr. Hetram..I guess they have to get their article correct
Dr Allsopp was the Acting Principal before Hetram. Technically he was not a confirmed principal because he was acting but he was doing the job of principal.
Former Member
There was also the unveiling of three portraits—Clarence Trotz, Stanley Richard Reginald Allsopp and Doodnauth Hetram—all of them former Principal of the school. Dr Allsopp was the first Guyanese to serve as principal of the school. He was followed by Hetram.
The reunion continues today with a Day Trip to the Skeldon Factory, and a Tuck Shop Lime on the lawns of the QC compound.
Tomorrow there is a scheduled tour of the Diamond Estate, swimming, a buffet lunch and karaoke and games.

The Guiana Scholarship was established in 1881 and was offered annually. It originally provided for three of the brightest students under 20 years old to study 3-5 years for free at a university or college in the UK, Europe, USA or Canada, with free return passage too. In 1894 the first black student won the Guiana Scholarship. From 1908 onward the scholarship was awarded to only one eligible student in the entire colony.
Name the first East Indian who won that scholarship and the year he won it.

THE LATE Mr. Doodnauth Hetram, M.A., B.C.L., L.L.B.,Dip.Ed., the first Guyanese ever to be appointed Principal of Queen’s College (1963-1969). Mr. Hetram served as a Q.C. master from 1952 to 1963.

Stabroek News got it wrong. More than one source named Doodnauth Hetram.
For example, The Queen's College of Guyana Alumni Association [Toronto] newsletter The Scribbler says: "Mr. Doodnauth Hetram, M.A., B.C.L.,

* These were the Indian programmes on schedule:
1:30 Indian Melody Time
2.00 East Meets West in Music
2:30 Local Indian performers
3.30 Aap Ki Kushi
* I know your question said "live 30-minute show featuring Bollwood songs."
* Local Indian performer did feature local artiste performing Bollywood songs---but that show was not live----it was taped.

You're right about the time, 2:3O for one hour.
Gilbakka:
* Your question therefore was misleading.
* It said "live 30 minute show" after lunch---Indian Melody Time was a 30 minute show(1.30-2.00); Local Indian performer was NOT a 30 minute show.
* Oh well! The Rev just pulling your strings. Keep posting questions. This is a remarkable thread. I've learned a lot.
