Grade 2 or 3 (1961 or 1962) were introduced to dip pens but could buy a ballpoint shaped exactly like the dip pens from a vending machine in the hallway for 10¢ or 25¢. Dropped out of the thing in a cardboard tube, I assume to keep from jamming. Moved to another school and they didn't use the dip pens but the desks had the hole for ink bottles. Can't recall anyone ever using using fountain pens until I was in high school.
