Traute received her high
school education in beg home

language school which was con-
dueled in conjunction with the
University of Hamburg. She
studied Spanish and English and
spent six months in England
on an exchange student pro-

when she spotted the other
"abilities" the 5'7" blue-eyed
blonde had.
It was through Paula that the
C of C managed to arrange to
get Traute to do the commer-
cials because she was handy to
the resort and was a good swim-
mer,
However, this latter ability
hasn't been witnessed by many
in the area, because a complica-
tion set in when the Catalina
swim suit manufacturers made
her a gold-sequined suit,
While the suit is definitely an
eye catcher, especially with
Traute in it, it doesn't lend it-
self to water and so she has to
step off a boat at the dock on
the beach rather than swim to
shore as was originally plan-
ned.
However, Traute is an expert
swimmer, and has been influ-
enced considerably by her hus-
band to become a skin diving
enthusiast.

Traute stated she was having

"I think there should be some
advertising on the beach," she
said, "so people will know
what's going on."
