MAC was famous before he held up his hand and murmured: "I do," for he was the gig man in a dancing contest back in Ozone Park—and it is no small achievement to be the premier dancer of that place.
He had his hands full Plebe year, as do most Plebes, attempting to attain that high standard, the immortal "2.5."

With the advent of his first "drag" Mac sallied forth to the hops, where he made an enviable record. This weakness was overcome, however, at the completion of one year's struggle; and only twice since has "Mac" accepted the invitation to drag.

1 P. O. ; Class Football 4, 1 ; B Squad Football 3; Wrestling 4, 3, 2, 1; wNAt 3, 2.
Mac, after starting the wrestling season on the bench, won a varsity berth and competed regularly in the 135-pound class.
Ensign Mack E. Vorhees and Seaman 2 class Joseph Arthur Sheridan died of injuries after their SU-2 plane crashed near Descanso, Calif. 22 June 1933.
