Today as El Paso comes to the close of its first hundred years, it pauses only long enough to honor the memory of the past, to catch its breath and to take up the challenge of the future. The story of the second hundred years will be written down by a generation yet to come. That story will be lived by men and women who, like those who made this story, were not afraid of the future, but rather strained toward it with high-purposed expectancy; men and women who will conquer whatever there is to fear by personal sacrifice in order to insure the physical and spiritual well-being of those yet unborn. Only in this way can El Paso lay down her Story of the First Hundred Years.
