Remember Graduation Day? What were the songs and speakers?

It's that time again...graduation. I haven't experienced that in years, but I like to reflect on those times. Does anybody remember their class songs from middle or high school? How about the speakers for the commencement exercises in college? Any memorable moments?


Class song in 1986: The Greatest Love of All - George Benson

Class song in 1990: Lean on Me - Bill Whithers

Speakers at graduation from SFSU Class of 1997: Danny Glover and Johnny Mathis

I really like spicy food. I mostly put Jalapenos on a lot of my food.

Wasn't that song released in the early 90s instead of the late 80s?
