60’s Hats During the 1960’s NECC first year students were required to wear freshmen beanies.

Alumni of Northern Essex Community College who graduated between 1963 and 1973 are invited to attend a reunion on June 21 at 4 p.m. at DiBurro’s Function Hall in Bradford to reminisce and catch up with classmates.

This reunion marks the 50th and 40th graduation anniversaries for the classes of 1963 and 1973, respectively. NECC opened its doors to its first students in 1961, and the class of 1963 is the first class to graduate from the college.

Volunteer organizers include class of 1963 members Maurice Viscuso, Rosemarie (Webb) D’Agata, and Bill Klueber, as well as Pat Kennedy, ’66, and former NECC faculty member and administrator, Norman Landry.

If you would like to help with reunion preparations or would like more information on the reunion, please contact Lindsey Mayo, director of alumni relations, at 978-556-3621 or lmayo@necc.mass.edu.
