Cyanide, the junior honorary society, is the first stu- dent organization with which Lehigh freshmen have contact. The honorary ' s members assist the Admissions Office and the Office of Counseling and Testing during Freshman Week by guiding tours, dispensing informa- tion, distributing room keys and other materials, and by serving as proctors for the various tests administered to all incoming Lehigh men. The organization performs other functions as well, including the presentation of Activities Night and the Freshman Smoker and the supervision of dink wearing.
