Topic Options #115667 - 11/11/03 04:03 PM ex- Alex Williams Pooh-Bah Registered: 01/05/01 Posts: 1814 Loc: Spam Factory If I attended a college and would have graduated in 1990, but transferred out in the spring of 1987, what is the proper designation for me in the "class notes" section of the alumni magazine, ex '87 or ex 90? (Or something else?)

In their alumni begging letters they put me in Class of '65.
