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.
Robin Slater and John Kicker pose with a trophy in front of Richard Henry Dana Junior High School. From left to right: Dick Davis (Recreation Super), Robin Slater, John Kicker, Mark La Lorest.

"Wild About Reading" is the theme for the summer program to be sponsored by the Jerry Broadwell Children's Room of Arcadia Public Library. Registration begins June 6 through July 18.
