No, that's OK. Of course 1985 was somewhat before Object-Oriented Programming 
became so hyped and popular. There's some semantic difference between "Class" 
in Mathematics and "Class" in programming (in OOP&D etc.). One could also 
check that at http://hebrew-terms.huji.ac.il/ .

I should note that I'm one of the only people I know who consistenly 
uses "מדריך" for "directory" instead of "ספריה" (which is "library") 
or "תיקיה" (which is "folder")[1] - even trying to do so in everyday 
speech. "מדריך" is somewhat abmigious with "guide", but I guess we have to 
deal with it, unless we want to say "directory" in the middle of Hebrew 
speech.
