A yearbook is a tradition in some high schools. The book contains（包含）the name and the picture of each student in your final year, so that you can remember who you went to school with.

A 15-year-old schoolgirl Catherine Cook and her brother David, 16, wanted more than this. They thought, “We don’t really know our classmates from just a picture, so why not have a yearbook online? You could learn about people’s musical tastes, the movies they like, and so on.” With their hard work, a website named myYearbook was set up, which soon became popular among schoolmates.

On the website, members can connect with each other by sharing movies, music, photos and study guides. Some students feel that they don’t fit in at school, but can make friends more easily online. MyYearbook users can also make virtual（虚拟的）“Lunch Money” by completing activities on the website. They then give it away to charities（慈善机构） in the myYearbook “causes” programme, which has sent 22,000 books to Africa, and bought 20,000 kilos of rice for people without enough food.

Running the website did not stop Catherine and David from completing their schoolwork successfully. Now, they go on to university, but still manage to put in 50 hours a week developing the website.
