It really is! :-)
Your right saying x.31 - x.63 for that particular SN, with x.63 being the broadcast addy and x.31 the network addy.
Actually, x.32 to x.63, with x.32 being the network address.
My personal opinion, if you're using RFC1918 addresses for internal networks, you should only use 255.255.255.0 netmasks everywhere, even though it's a network for one machine only. Dealing with netmasks is a PITA, and should be avoided unless there's a real reason to use it, for instance with valid IPs.
