Theresa McQuaig
Tells Story Of
Nightingales
Dear Friends,
At an early age, I had a
great interest in Gospel Music.
The first record I was able to
understand and come to love
was "Songs of Praises" by the
Sensational Nightingales. The
record was a gift to my father.
I had heard many reccrds be
fore, but never one it that
time meant so much to me. I
grew to love the Night .ngales'
Music and followed their re
cordings ever since.
However, never did 1 dream
at that time one day I would
haw the privilege to mt?et The
Nightingales. 1 always thought
as most people did when
people became involved in
professional work they for
go! about the unknown ones.
Meeting the Nightingales have
only proved me wrong.
A few years ago the
guitarist and tenor voice,
Joseph Wallace, whom resides
here in Durham, joined Union
Baptist Church. He took an
interest, not only in just com
ing to church, but being a part
of it, and always wanting to
help. As a result of this, he
formed a group, The Galelettes,
derived from the Nightingales
Fan Club in Durham. North
Carolina.
The Galelettes were a com
posure of young people, in
terested in Gospel Music. They
survived many happy days dur
ing their travelings. The Night
ingales encouraged and helped
strengthened them in the right
way. For example they appear
ed with them at Durhams'Cen
tral Civic Center one summer.
For the past two weeks
they enlightened Durham and
people that heard them for
miles and miles around. They
gave their time to different
churches, donating the money
to the needed causes. They al
so donated money to crippled
and needy ones a part from
the churches.
Even. 1 year they celebrate
their anniversary in Durham.
They belong to Durhi n, and
I'm for one happy they do.
Their latest recording, It's
Gonna Rain, speaks for itself.
The Senational Nightingales
are surely one of the great
messengers derived from cen
tories ago.
Listen to them, they're tell
ing the story.
Nightingale Fan,
Thersa .McQuaig
Ray Thompson
Receives E. S.
Barrett Award
Ray Thompson received a
standing ovation last Friday
night in Winston-Salem, but
because of the iliness which
has crippled hi: i physically for
a number of years, the veteran
educator was not there to hear
and see how the members of
his profession responded to his
name.
The occasion was the an
nual convention of the North
Carolina Personnel and Guid
ance Association, and Mrs.
Clara Thompson's acceptance
for her husband of the "Ella
Stephens Barrett Award," the
highest the association gives.
In Durham, Thompson is
known as a contributor to the
letters columns of the local
newspaper; as an educator, a
member of the faculty of
North Carolina Central Uni
versity since 1951; and as an
intellectual stimulant, the
founder and for nearly a de
cade the principal mover of
North Carolina Central's
"Sack Lunch" group, which
met informally each Thursday
to discuss issues in education,
politics, human relations,
science or any other topic a
member wished to discuss.
In the state, Dr. Thompson
is also remembered as • man
who travelled the state offer
ing assistance to schools in al
most every county in the de
velopment of a guidance pro
