"The presidents of the Urban League Guilds got together to exchange views, and to discuss what thier clubs had done," Mrs. Wilson explained. She had a successful year to report for Winston-Salem. "When I became president in 1977, the Guild had 29 paid members," she observed, "Now, a year later, there are 291 Octogi Rock ( by Yvette McCullough Staff Reporter She follows them anywhere and everywhere to hear them play. She doesn't dance or sing but just goes to listen. That's Mrs. Warlie Allsbrooks, the number one fan of the rock and roll group Hell in _ High Waters. In June - of this year Mrs. Allsbrooks will be eighty, but you would never know by her love of life and music. She says she's the number one fan of the group because her grandson Brevard Fogie is a member, in addition to the fact that she likes their music. "They're good, real good." "I followed them to the Hilton Inn, the Convention Center, and the Big D Lounge," Mrs. Allsbrooks said. And if she could she would have followed them to Las Vegas where they are currently living. Mrs. Allsbrooks can pick a little banjo, but she's never really learned how to play an instrument despite her love for music. 4'I left home before my father could teach me how to play the banjo," she said. Home for Mrs. Allsbrooks was a farm in Monroe, North Carolina. She left home and came to Winston-Salem two weeks before the outbreak of World War n. She feels that her farm background is responsible for her be? ing so active today. ^ "On the farm I would plow and plant all day. I would cut wood.
