Who remembers when children had to miss classes and stand in the hot sun with flags in their hands to wave to Burnham as he passes by in his Rolls Royce? Look at this. I wonder if the Face on the Exercise Book is coming back too.

Did the students show respect to dignitaries, when they visited your school ?
You might not know, if you are still in dunsee. What a friggin warped sense of purpose.
Granger is doing what presidents do. If he wants to win the hearts of people he will have to show genuine interests and not use them for photo opportunity.
How else do you propose a president for a country show himself in public, without photographs, to indicate what he is doing ?
Then like a typical Guyanese you might complain that Granger don't seem to be doing anything.
Where were you when the same was done with Jagdeo, sucking duck egg ?

Inaccurate information. Burnham never owned a Rolls Royce. He drove in a Daimler that was owned by the state. That Daimler was passed on to Desmond Hoyte who surrendered it to the PPP government in 1992.
Thanks for the correction. This is the point where age comes before beauty

Up to March 28, 2009, most of them were decent and courageous. I suppose most of them remained decent and courageous and wonderful after Janet Jagan died.

I saw a car used by Burnham, in the Museum. Would this be the same one?

No. The one in the museum was an Austin Princess, the one Burnham used from 1965 until the Daimler arrived.
Ah, Sooooo.

Re: EXERCISE BOOKS
When I attended primary school my exercise books' covers had a picture of Queen Elizabeth II. There were two kinds: a cheap one with newsprint pages for 10 cents and one with smooth white pages for 12 cents. At Central High School my exercise books were custom-made, carrying the CHS logo and motto. 12 cents each in 1962-1964. Some other high schools in Georgetown had their own exercise books too.
The exercise books with Burnham's photo were distributed to students free of cost, I was told. Maybe, someone can support or dispute this.

In the 80s when I visited a teacher friend at Belvedere school, he gave me a couple copies of Burnham exercise books, that are somewhere in my collection.
The one posted here has ' For Free Distribution' and I do know they were distributed freely by the Belvedere head teacher.
Later Burnham exercise books had ' Not to be Sold'.
In the 2000s++ when we worked with school drop-out, other exercise books were still available for free distribution.
But we saw many with the 'Not for Sale' indication erased and the books were sold at the Rose Hall and Port Mourant markets, including Canadian backpacks, we gave schools for free distribution to needy students.
If parents had an issue with the head teacher around 2005+, their children might find it difficult getting free copies.
