In today’s terminology, Alice Schnatzky is Sherry Riddenhour’s “frenemy.” If she was a girl of my generation, she would frequently snarl “Whatever!” at everything she didn’t like, which would be just about everything. Both are from Knob Noster, Missouri and they have known each other since elementary school and graduated together. Alice thinks she is better than Sherry, but is extremely jealous of her. She is especially envious of Sherry for dating a rich boy named Donald “Chip” Hallwell, who Alice says (repeatedly, ad nauseam) “his family put the Knob in Knob Noster.” She has a condition known as exotropia strabismus, which causes her eye to stick to the side and never move. I decide to try to give you an idea of what I think Alice would look like. One uses a school photo from a girl from the mid-60s, the other is a modern photo of a girl modeling a 60’s hair-do. In both photos, I used the eye of famous Western movie actor Jack Elam for Alice’s “non-responsive eye.” I should point out that I tried to give the second “Alice” white eyeshadow and white lipstick, which was popular at the time.
