Clubs
The largest club at DH Conley is the Conley Crazies. Each year, they design shirts which are worn at sporting events where the crazies can sit in their own section to cheer on the team. Also, this club helps to pick days for spirit week, which always celebrates crazy blue and gold day on the Friday of that week. Conley also has many honor societies including Beta Club, National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Art Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, National English Honor Society, and French Honor Society. Most of these clubs promote volunteering to gain points to wear cords for graduation, which takes place at Minges Coliseum at East Carolina University. The Quiz Bowl club also has had success at Conley; they appeared on television in 2005 for the state championship in which they placed second. Model United Nations is a small club which competes at East Carolina University in the Model United Nations Conference. Also, Close Up is a club which always volunteers for Special Olympics, ECU games, the Pitt County Fair, and Eastern Regionals. They take a yearly trip to Washington, DC for National Close Up Conference.

Famous quotes containing the word clubs:
“We shall exchange our material thinking for something quite different, and we shall all be kin. We shall all be enfranchised, prohibition will prevail, many wrongs will be righted, vampires and grafters and slackers will be relegated to a class by themselves, stiff necks will limber up, hearts of stone will be changed to hearts of flesh, and little by little we shall begin to understand each other.”
—General Federation Of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)
“As night returns bringing doubts
That swarm around the sleeper’s head
But are fended off with clubs and knives ...”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The true reformer does not want time, nor money, nor coöperation, nor advice. What is time but the stuff delay is made of? And depend upon it, our virtue will not live on the interest of our money. He expects no income, but outgoes; so soon as we begin to count the cost, the cost begins. And as for advice, the information floating in the atmosphere of society is as evanescent and unserviceable to him as gossamer for clubs of Hercules.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
