Students at Artesia High School spent the morning Thursday in the annual traditions assembly in the old boys’ gym. In a fitting setting, where the Runnin’ ‘Dog basketball team once packed the stands, the Classes of 2017, 2018 and 2019 were versed on the school’s wide range of traditions, from long-standing ones such as the Spirit Jug, pictured below, to more recent ones like the Bulldog Battle Flag.
