L. Culveyhouse was with the Three Hundred and Eighteenth Field Signal Battalion. He sailed for France on July 13, 1918, and saw active service in the Somme offensive, from September 21 to October 21. “Culvey’s” work did not take him into the front line trenches, but he did get up close enough to get a good dose of Hun gas.

W'e want every man who comes to Badin to engage in any form of sport, to know that he will get a fair deal and sportsmanlike treatment. We stand for education. We are proud of the Badin school. We want to pull together to keep dowTi ignorant criticism, and keep in the appreciation of the finest public school in North Caro lina. We stand for Badin. Here our home is, and we will try to keep it a decent place in which to live. At our organization meeting, the fol lowing officers were elected: John J. Cowart, Prcxidcnt; Joseph F.
