Edgar R. McClung

• graduated from United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland in June 3, 1911^{852, 6763}
  • "MAC is a huskily built chap, rather quiet in his ways, and conscientious in all he does. He has decided opinions on all subjects, and is usually one of the elements to be reckoned with in Class meetings. In athletics he has made good, playing baseball, football, and basketball, with great success. He does not smoke, and enjoys a good book. Can usually be found around with the people who set the Class standards, and his hearty laugh can be heard before he heaves in sight. On the Cruise he got the reputation of being the most consistent letter-writer in the Class with the possible exception of our old friend Charley Curry. He also kept a very extensive diary which made him a marked man. He has spent much of his odd time this last year working out laborious puzzles in the hope of getting an automobile, or a house and lot."
