The dating of the picture possibly can be pinpointed just a bit by the coonskin cap you were wearing. The craze of kids wearing those was a result of the popular Fess Parker Davey Crockett episodes on the Walt Disney TV series, which aired from December 1954 until February 1955. It is likely the picture dated from sometime after those shows ended and production of the caps began and became popular, maybe something like April 1955-August 1955 (just a guess). I and my brothers wore those caps, too, including to school!
