    \^4 BUSCH "%. \ \ | t's been a long climb from the days during the wai when this German lass was bombed out of three homes and had "only the clothes we wore". The first German girl ever to win the World's Figure Skating Championship, Gundi is in her second professional season with the Hollywood Ice Revue with her name alongside icedom's brightest stars. Besides being the world's champion of 1954, this blonde bundle of charm has one of the best proportioned figures in show business. Scaling 52 kilos, which is about 115 pounds, her 5 foot, three inch figure is filled around the smallest waistline in the entire company, 19 inches. Gundi speaks five different languages and it is nothing for her to change from English, to French, to German in mid- sentence. Gundi Busch can be spelled VBC, Versatility, Beauty and Charm. a/mslaughun I he veteran of Arthur Wirtz' glamor Girls, Andra McLaughlin is the gal with the "international" flavor. This Irish lass has turned on the charm in numbers of Scottish, Hungarian, Indian, Hawaiian, and many other countries during her professional career. Andra has skated before the Royal family of England during her 10 month stand at Earl's Court in London. Born in New York, Andra's family moved to Colorado Springs so that she and her three brothers would have more room for outdoor activities. Andra proceeded to win numerous medals for her figure skating and interpretive work and even played hockey on the boys' high school team. Now in her fifth year with the Wirtz extravaganza, Andra will specialize in jitterbug as well as the Hula which is synonymous with the Hollywood Ice Revue. P^^"
