When I was a kid all of our desks had a hole in the upper right corner. The hole was just right to hold a bottle of ink.
At least they had moved on from everyone carrying a slate board to and from school
The desks at the two grade schools I went to still had those holes in them (first was an old one room from at least the 20's although it might have been a little older, the desks might have been original for all I know, the second school was slightly newer but still had "nifty" old desks). It had been a while since they were used though I'm sure.. Actually I don't recall seeing any ink stains on the desks of the second school I went to so its likely they were still making them to form long past the function (don't remember on the first one, I only went there for grade 1 for crying out loud).
