Pencil Sharpeners: No More to Be Found

Only in the past semester have I become conscious of the fact that pencil sharpeners have disappeared.  I don't like the mechanical ones my students use.  I'm too brutal; I break the lead.  So I brought several pencils--the kind I've known all my life--and went in search of a pencil sharpener.  I even called Buildings and Grounds.  They had no idea.  But Duplicating, bless their hearts, had one, and here it is.

In my lifetime I expect it to be in a museum of curiosities.
