Stupid question maybe, but when people say 'Class of X' is this figure the year they entered the institution, or the year they graduated? I've always assumed it's the year they came to it since at my Y12 leaving thing in 2003 they had 'Class of 1998', but is the more popular usage the other way around?

Year left. Hence why my school leavers' hoody has "Class of '06" on it instead of "Class of '99."

It should always be the year in which you graduate, if its of anything else its stupid imo (e.g. because not everyone stays in the same secondary school for 7 years, if people are retaking a year, etc.).

I think it's just in America that you go by the year you started, it seems.
Here, it's the year you left.

My friends and I use it to mean the year you left. Eg, our high school leaver's cake (donated from a nearby bakery) said 'Good Luck Class of 2006'.

The year you started makes more sense though. If you leave earlier/later than your classmates, then your class of x will be that of a different class.

At my old school we were 01 when we joined and for the majority of our time, but when we left we became class of 06, when i came to 6th form, we left as class of 08, its why i think ive messed up my facebook by putting my oldschool as 01. Anyway ive just gone and made myself confused.
