COLUMBIA, KY - A Lindsey Wilson College freshman class helped Christmas come early Thursday morning to the Adair County Ambulance Service. The group of 16 freshmen delivered more than 100 stuffed animals to the Adair County Ambulance Service's office, 906 Westlake Drive, Columbia, KY.The ambulance service uses the stuffed animals as a gift every time a child rides in the ambulance as a way to reduce stress and anxiety.

The Lindsey Wilson freshmen raised more than $130 to buy the stuffed animals from various fund-raisers they held on campus during the fall semester. The fund-raisers included posting "penny jars" around the college's A.P. White Campus, selling homemade suckers and holding a raffle for tickets to a men's basketball game between the University of Kentucky and Vanderbilt University.

The 16 freshmen are part of a "Freshman Seminar" class taught by Associate Professor of Communication Susan K. Minton, Freshman Advisor Laura Burwash and Peer Mentor Joshua Stephens.

Helping out the Adair County Ambulance Service was but one of this class' marks of distinction, Minton said.

The 16 freshmen also had the highest attendance record among the college's "Freshmen Seminar" classes, with a daily attendance average of more than 98 percent. That earned the students an evening meal in Lexington, Ky., compliments of Vice President for Academic Affairs Bettie Starr.

"This was an outstanding group of young people who got off to an excellent start in college," Minton said. "This class was a good class in more than one way."

Members of the Minton-Burwash-Stephens "Freshman Seminar" class are:John Anderson of Danville, KY; Stephanie Barrett of Louisville, KY; William Biddle of Paris, KY; Brett Boles of Carrollton, KY; Philip Borisei of Nairobi, Kenya; Joshua Colvin of Campbellsville, KY; Morgan Gagle of Mount Sterling, Ky.; DeQuann Gordon of Lexington, KY; Megan Huckaby of Jamestown, KY; Sara Keller of Greenville, IN; Lance Rose of Winchester, KY; Chase Spreen of Williams, IN; Aissia Tarter of Monticello, KY; David Tatro of Campbellsville; Lindsey Thomas of Louisville; and Emily Woolum of Danville, KY;
