"Graduation Day" is a 1956 hit song by The Four Freshmen written by Joe Sherman with lyrics by his brother Noel Sherman.[1] The song, a single from the Capitol album Freshman Favourites, was quickly covered in singles by The Rover Boys in 1956, The Lennon Sisters with bandleader Lawrence Welk, also in 1956, Tommy Sands in 1957, by Bobby Pickett in 1963, and by The Arbors in 1968. It was performed in concert by The Beach Boys, being included on their October 1964 album Beach Boys Concert. Many years later, in 1976, it was issued as the B-side to the rerelease of The Beach Boys' Be True To Your School (Capitol 4334). George Wallington recorded a jazz version of it in 1957.
