Track:
"Graduation Day" covers the many emotions in connection with a right of passage for many. The wistful quality of the lyrics and music is superbly caught by The Four Freshmen especially with the solo vocal by Ross Barbour in this March 27, 1956.

"How Can I Tell Her" describes to perfection the dilemma about sharing words with a special someone. The mood setting is appropriately sensitive and very plush. There is a baroque flavored piano solo which makes a charming entrance during the instrumental break.

Track:
As a contrast to "Angel Eyes," "Love Is Just Around The Corner" gets a jaunty, optimistic romp from the Freshmen. The interjections from the trombones provide the lift already set in motion by Four Freshmen. The break is totally dominated by the 'bones with a scat by the Freshmen.
