Would your brother have chosen a picture of himself in a girly looking sailor suit for his yearbook? I know this has Patsy written all over it, and its a different generation than the one I grew up in, but I cannot imagine any guy I knew wanting a "Look everyone, Mom wanted a girl!" photo included unless he was joking about it. Unless Patsy didn't run it by Burke first, which might tell us something about their relationship.
I don't think Burke is "ill". Very different, odd perhaps, but not sick in a classical sense. Since returning to his classroom in January of 1997 he appears on the surface to have had a typical life. But something about this collage feels staged to me. No pun intended.
In my experience those photo collages were done by the parents to surprise the kids. Who knows. And I don't think the sailor suits are girly looking (and I don't think it matters if they were), it was just a tiny kid fashion thing for a while.
