About the Contributors
Ben Baker-Katz, In-Depth Editor and Sports Columnist
My name is Ben Baker-Katz, I am a senior at ETHS and this is my second year working on The Evanstonian. This year, I am the In-Depth Editor and the Sports Columnist. Last year, I was a Sports Editor. Outside of The Evanstonian, I play varsity baseball, and I am on the Junior Board of Connections for the Homeless. While I do not plan on pursuing journalism beyond high school, what I’ve learned about interacting and talking with others will serve me well in whatever I decide to do with my life.
Jonah Charlton, Executive Editor
My name is Jonah Charlton. I'm a senior and Executive Editor for The Evanstonian. I oversee the Arts & Entertainment, Sports and Photo and Art sections. Prior to this year, I was a photographer (2015-17), Photo and Art Editor (2017-2018), Layout Editor (2017-2018) and Staff Writer (2017-2018). As a writer and photographer, I've covered community events such as the fate of the Harley Clarke mansion to major school events such as the boys' basketball state semifinal game and the student led walkout against gun violence. Outside The Evanstonian, I play tennis, teach one through six year old children at Chiaravalle Montessori School and am on the Chicago International Student Film Council. While I am unsure of what my future holds, The Evanstonian has provided a space where my communication, problem-solving and critical thinking skills have flourished.
Charlie Gruner, Sports Editor
My name is Charlie Gruner and I am a senior here at ETHS, currently in my third year as a member of the Evanstonian staff. I spent my first year writing for In-Depth and the rest for Sports. I am on the football and baseball teams and next year I will be attending Depauw University in Indiana to continue my football career. My time with the Evanstonian has allowed me to develop my people skills through professional interviews and conversations with those above me, forcing me to mature quickly.
