The elementary school I attended (built in 1952) had soap dispensers like this in all the restrooms. |

Well, that is the dispenser my kitchen sink needs & too bad I never thought of just pulling the nozzle off (well, turning it, if the bottle stays in below) to make simply filling it--I have that maschochist streak in me, endlessly going under the sink to remove & endure the even more futile task to replace & keeping the newly-filled contents, that the tiresome task of pouring in, all stay completely intact...

And did you have to use those rough brown paper towels, pretty much of newspaper quality, from those large rolls of, cranked out from those heavy metal dispensers, too? Schools haven't changed much from when you've gone & the years & decades later when our soap, too, left you better off just leaving your hands dirty!

Dave I'm guessing we are close to the same age from things you've posted on here. Yes, we had those metal brown paper towel dispensers (more like brown paper bags), push the button and turn the crank. Characteristic sound. My elementary school was built in the 20's and had the porcelain on cast iron sinks with cross handled faucets. High school was built in 1971 (the year I was born) and had the huge round sinks you step on the bar and they squirted water from a central shower sprayer. |

The elementary school I attended (K-3) had the continuous cloth towel rolls, but the middle school (4-6) had the tan paper towels that cranked out. Jr. HI also had these, and HS until 10th, then they got multi-fold paper towels. |

ASKO: Yes, I'm a '70-model, mid-'69 conceived (& probably an attempted "getting knock-up" in '58)...
As for grade-school soap, my li'l sis' called it "throw-up" soap... It was vomit-scented, and I don't ever remember the fragrance all the time I was even in my 12th-grade year, ever-improving--now 40-years-later, the soap & towels, and even plumbing fixtures--the oval-shaped sink was an occasional urinal to the wise-acre peeing in it--sure changed to a "that's more like it!", and "what wasn't anything like THIS back then?"...

Attached link is to Amazon search for powdered hand soap.
DavidAtlas If you haven't tried it already you should give SoftSoap hand soap a try. It's a much more basic soap mixture than most high end modern hand soaps that are purposely more 'heavy' with lotions and other thickeners added. SoftSoap is much more thin and easy flowing and you can buy it pretty much anywhere.
