We had modern versions of these in the 90s. The desks were dope too, you could store your lunch in there and school meals were subsidised enough that people usually wouldn't steal.
Also you could keep your slingshot, stash of cherry bombs, firecrackers, ar-15 ammunition, nazi memorabilia, and nuclear arsenal launch codes in there and no one would say a thing. Sigh the world is too safe now.
