Edgar M. Cousins ’52

Ed joined us from Exeter, where he was senior class president. At Princeton he played football and lacrosse, was on the Freshman Council, and sang in the Glee Club. He left, however, at the end of the year for Bowdoin, his father’s college, and graduated in 1952.

He served with the Army in Korea, then earned a master’s degree in education at the University of Maine in 1956. He taught in the Milford, Maine, and Pawling, N.Y., schools. Then for 30 years, Ed taught middle school social-studies classes in the highly regarded Scarsdale, N.Y., public-school system.

He married Nancy Howe, and they had three children, Catharine, Elizabeth, and Norman. After Ed retired they moved to Fort Pierce, Fla., where Ed died Dec. 22, 2013. The class offers its good wishes to Ed’s family and thanks for his service to our country.
