On August 9th during a cool Tuesday afternoon the Los Alamitos High School ASB Cabinet set forth to attend the 51st annual OCL (Orange County Leadership) camp at UC Santa Barbara. Over the course of four days approximately 1500 ASB students from all over Orange County grouped by school competed in volleyball miscellaneous games and t-shirt designs.

During the camp there were several workshops in which students were able to hear speakers and instructors discuss different topics in order to increase school spirit within schools.

On the 11th several schools performed in the talent show where the ASB body performed a skit that highlighted the key points of leadership.

The camp also focused on establishing a greater sense of team unity. Each ASB group created their own team chants and approached other schools' ASB Cabinets with a competitive spirit. There were also nightly themed dance-parties to create a fun atmosphere for students to bond.

On Wednesday night a special guest star Iyaz performed his hit "Replay" at the dance surprising students at the OCL Camp.

"I thought ASB Camp was really fun. It was exhausting but worth it, and the dances were so great. Iyaz was awesome!" said Bridget Miller a Los Alamitos High senior.

Miller will chair the school's co-community service commissioner position with her fellow co-commissioner Alyssa Lilley.

Along with the students the Assistant Principal Melissa Miller and head of Activities and Athletics Jason Farvour attended.

"It was so fun" said Farvour the Activities Director at Los Alamitos High School. "I had the best time. I am looking forward to this year."

Farvour who has now been the head activities director for two years has been nominated for Orange County's teacher of the year. With his leadership the Los Alamitos ASB is sure to success in guiding the student body with school spirit.
