This is copyright 1981 but came out in the (always-dated-ahead) Super Special Summer 1982 issue, so this is as good a place as any to review it.  It was the last "vinyl" record and far from their best, but not without interest, even if the funniest thing is that the record spindle goes through Alfred E. Neuman's tooth-gap.  A graduation crowd goes into greater and greater fits of laughter as the principal of Millard Fillmore High recognizes the class, teachers, parents, and country's leaders, name-checking every president from LBJ to Reagan.  It lacks the true satire of "Gall in the Family Fare" and the going-for-brokeness of "Super Spectacular Day," but it's probably worth checking out on YouTube or wherever you consume pop-cultural ephemera.
