MARIETTA — Wheeler High School’s Class of 1974 is planning a “do-over” graduation ceremony after a torrential thunderstorm drowned out their pomp and circumstance.

The class is planning its re-graduation for June 2 in the school’s auditorium.

The 425 seniors had just started their graduation ceremony on a football field 38 years ago when the rain began pummeling them, graduates told The Marietta Daily Journal.
