Here’s a story from Henry Aldrich #15 (Catchy title, huh?), from 1953. 

Henry’s girlfriend Geraldine is signing up for the lead part in the school play. Problem is that George, Henry’s rival, is the male lead – with a kiss in the script.

So Henry has to get a part in the play to keep tabs on her. But there’s only female parts left. A wig, a dress, some makeup and voila! Henrietta is born.
