Democracy in action describes the DuRois Student Council. This is the group that handles student problems, maintains good government in school, and fosters better understanding between faculty and students. One of the council ' s major tasks this year was to be host to the District Band Festival in January. They have conducted all school elections; sponsored all social affairs, including the coronation of Miss D. H. S. ; authorized new student organizations; sponsored the milk machine; help supervise the injury fund; selected patrol members; sponsored assemblies; and conducted many charity drives. The council is composed of an executive board and representatives of the home rooms.

S. is an honor given to a senior girl who has been outstanding throughout her school career and who contributed service to her school. Seniors nominated five outstanding girls from their class.
