Charlie Gruner

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.
