Arcadia Recreation Department Yo-Yo program. Boy on the left is demonstrating a yo-yo trick called "Rock the Baby." Girl on the right is holding a yo-yo. The champion awards sit atop a table between the children. The program might have taken place at County Park because "Co." is written on the back of the photograph. The year 1956 is engraved on the trophies.
