Freshman Lester Guttuso would go to the 1940s. “I think the World War II era (is where I’d go) if I could pick any time in history. I feel like that was a cool time period where America as a society began to advance in progress both during and after the effects of World War II,” Guttuso said.

Rhett McLaughlin, a sophomore, would go back to 2009 to relive the Super Bowl victory by the New Orleans Saints. “How many times have the Saints won the Super Bowl? Once.

Andrew Moran, the apple-wielding Director of the Marching Wolves, chose two dates. “I would go to Woodstock to witness the greatest rock concert in the history of humanity, to hear Jimi Hendrix’s Star-Spangled Banner solo, and to see all of those legendary bands in one place,” Moran says. “I would also go to the premiere of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony to be in the audience for the first time the world heard a masterpiece of that magnitude.”
