A home is not necessarily a house. It is wherever you are happy and feel you belong. One such home can be found in Maryville. To the Class of ’76 it signifies the home.

The community in which we live offers many services to the people. Whether it is the school, the library, or the town hail, each plays a part in our lives. Often these services are taken for granted until an emergency arises and the need for the Ambulance Corp or the Fire Department becomes acute. All summer long Hees Park is the center of activity for Avoca. From little league games to picnics, it brings people together to have a good time. The town hall, to some people, is just another building, but this is where the people of Avoca, our community, make it a better place in which to live. And most important is the service rendered by ACS. Here Avoca’s future citizens are educated to carry Avoca into to- morrow. 4
