Faith and Good Works
Tuesday afternoon, May fifteenth. l service in memory of the late Rt. Rev. Robert Carter Jett, D.O. was
eld at Emmanuel Church, Staunton, Virginia. V.E.S. was very happy that · present headmaster was able to !"tend this memorial service in honor
· :ts founder. The service was very beautiful in its details and nothing 11ore need have been added. How- ever, by some strange coincidence ·nrough the will of God at almost •he very same hour at which the me- '!lorial service was being held in Staunton, a p l a q u e in m e m o r y o f S'shop Jett and his wife, Annie Funsten Jet+ was erected on the front wol of V.E.S. The very beautiful plaque was erected to Bishop and Mrs. Jet+ by their two daughters, Mrs. William W. Field and Mrs. Frank W. Rogers, and by Bishop Jett's
sisters, t h e Misses Ethel a n d Hallie Jett. The plaque reads as follows:
by hand all of the shade trees on our now very beautiful campus. There are no better words which can now be used here than those of the last verse of the V.E.S. Hymn, Dear Old V.E.S., which the boys sung in honor and memory of Bishop and Mrs. Jet+, "our parents," at the close of morn- ing chapel Thursday, May seven- teenth.
' God bless all who are here, Have been or will be here, May they forever love
Old V. E. S.
God grant thy spirit lives Firm in our hearts, and gives Fine men, and God bless thee Old V. E. S."

ANNIE FUNSTEN JETT Whose Devotion and Active Interest Contributed So Greatly To The Realization of His Dream
The erectors of the plaque asked that no unveiling service be held, which v e r y well i l l u s t r a t e s t h e usual attitudes of the Bishop and Mrs. Jett themselves.
The spirit of Bishop and Mrs. Jett will always live among the walls of his dream, where he served as a disciple of God guiding the lives of many young men. Mrs. Jett aided him in his work by serving as a "mother" to every boy and by adding to the beauty of V.E.S. by planting almost
