Genevay first developed her formal debate skills as a student at Whitman in 1947-48. The program was small, and Professor Lloyd Newcomer enticed my debate partner and me into participating. I never liked competition until then, but at Whitman it became very interesting. Under the guidance of Professor Newcomer, Genevay and her debate partner, Carmen Gleiser McCaw, '50, won the 1948 Western States Women's Senior Division Championship held at Stanford University. They competed against Pepperdine, Willamette, Stanford, Linfield, W.S.U., and other schools.
