Okay, I'll see your classes and raise you a regexp for clarity!
classes:
January|March|May|July|August|October|December::
"Last_Saturday" and => { "Saturday", classmatch("Day(2[5-9]|3[01])") };
April|June|September|November::
"Last_Saturday" and => { "Saturday", classmatch("Day(2[4-9]|30)") };
February::
"Last_Saturday" and => { "Saturday", classmatch("Day2[2-9]") };
