I have copies of my parents’ high school yearbooks, so accessing them digitally online is not a necessity. Recently, partially out of boredom, I decided to look at Ancestry’s digital images of the yearbooks I already have paper copies of.
There were a few notations as to the married names of some of the female graduates.
Is there a chance that the digital copy of a the same book you have has annotations, comments, or even signatures that your copy does not? Year books are probably the best example where the copy that was used to make a digital image may contain personalizations that are in no other copy, but genealogies and other books can have remarks and other commentary added as well.

If the yearbook is not online, try the library where the high school is/was. They may have a copy you can look at, or send you a copy if you’re not in the area. I have done this more than once for patrons who grew up in my area but no longer live here.
