Miss Cooper admits there is more prestige for a traditional ballet dancer than for those doing character roles. "Physique often determines which type of role a person will dance." The new thought and ideas so apparent in today's dance companies are "definitely worth interpreting through the ballet media," said Miss Cooper.

Kan Places Third In Vageant dance in a scanty grass skirt RODEO IS SOMETHING that gets into your blood, says this year's Canadian all-around cowgirl champion, Audrey Kenry. The 10.000 miles she covered during the year's rodeo circuit paid off for the veteran Paradise Valley rancher. She not only captured the top award of the year, but also walked away with two other major titles and a total of five trophies.

Presentation of awards was held Friday night. She performed at rodeos throughout British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. "THERE'S A LOT OF MILES to competing in the circuit and one must really like the sport to cart your horse and yourself all that distance," says Miss Henry adding that she wouldn't switch to any other sport. She has been a member of the Canadian Barrel Racin: and Rodeo Association for six years but it has only been during the past two year's that she has competed on the circuit. In 196.1, she was runner-up to the all-round cowgirl title and won the goat-tying and calf-roping awards, which she also won this year.

What about next year? "I think I'll just specialize in two events calf roping and cow cutting." Miss Henry's riding experience dates back to when she was a child. She was raised on the same 800-acre ranch that she and her sister, Marg. run today and she has been "riding since she could walk." During the last 20 years she has shown her horses at shows throughout Canada and the "I'm old enough to know better but still stupid enough to try it." she says. Of younger girls in the sport, she says: "They're the rodeo performers of tomorrow and, for any ranch girl it's a great sport."
