Christopher Vye

Christopher Vye, Sports Editor

Hey everyone! My name is Christopher Vye and I am currently a senior at ETHS. This is my fourth year on staff for The Evanstonian and my second as the Sports Editor. I worked as an opinion writer during my first two years. In addition to writing for The Evanstonian, I am a competitive swimmer for both ETHS and the McGaw YMCA Swim Team, a lifeguard and swim lesson instructor, a percussionist in the ETHS Symphonic Band and from time to time you may find me at ETHS Creative Writing Club meetings. In my free time I love to read, write, lift, be outdoors, listen to music, spend time with friends and family, and just embrace life in as many different ways as I can.

Gaming the system: Evans’ power grab

Jilian Denlow, Christopher Vye and Jared Tucker February 27, 2023
Abraham Lincoln appointed John Evans as the territorial governor of Colorado in 1862. At the time, the Confederate South was overwhelmingly Democratic; the Union North, Republican. In the event that Colorado gained enough population to become a state, Evans knew that the industrialization, urbanization and modernization would essentially guarantee the state to become a Republican stronghold—with him at the top of the list of potential senators for the territory-turned-state.

Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of any ETHS athlete so far this school year came in early September when junior Mateo Solis won a silver medal at USA Karate Nationals. This finish not only guaranteed Solis a spot on the Junior National Karate Team, but also marked his first time on the team in three years.
