 It is when you give of yourself that you truly give therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors'.” — Gibran The Class of 1972 and the Merlin staff proudly dedicate this edition to Miss June Acker. It is she who has ‘truly given’ an unmeasurable amount to B.T.H.S. faculty and students. Miss Acker plays three major roles with in the structure of Burlington Township High School. As a teacher she conducts an informal class. This approach to classroom education enables the student to better relate to her, as well as others. The knowledge she transmits not only prepares the students for their future education, but also for life itself. As a class advisor, Miss Acker has revealed her dedication to the Class of 1972 by her ever present interest. From the beginning in 1968 she has strongly supported the class in every activity. Indispensable is the word which best describes her advice and insight. Most important. Miss Acker has been a friend. Her vitality and warmth always present, have been extended to all who surround her. Her cheerful personality, willingness to talk, and great ability to understand, form the basis for the Class of 1972 to respect, to admire, and love her, each in his own way. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. ” — Gibran “ ... and in the sweetness of friend- ship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures.” — Gibran 3
