It was fastened to a wall and offered a great way to take a break from your studies. The procedure? Press down hard on the tip of your pencil, shatter it, raise your hand, and request use of the sharpener. With the teacher's approval, you would be free to rise from your desk, go to the sharpener, and plug your pencil into the hole. Then you could grind away at the pencil, making a really delicious clamor, annoying everyone, including the teacher. This charm makes an excellent gift for teachers or recalcitrant students.
