Coach Jack Kelley and hockey captain Charlie Morrissey were two of the most faithful pectators as the build ing took shape. The rink is attached to the back of the fieldhouse. Its floor has been covered with approximately 350 tons of \Varrenite, an asphalt mixture, over which have been laid nearly IO miles of pipes to carry the ice-m�aking brine. Another 350 tons of vVarrenite cover the pipes. The kills and labor of the buildings and grounds taff made substantial contributions . The dasher board , enclosing the skating surface were constructed by college carpenters left to right Tom Bureau, Ray Lab rack and 0 ide Hubert. Th rink was dedicated to Maine shoe executive Harold Alfond (below). Famed sportsman Walter Brown (above with President Bixler) was a featured peaker at the opening ceremonies, presided over by Waterville businessman Ronald Brown (right) who presented each speaker with a Tam O'Shanter. THE HAROLD ALFOND RINK DEDICATED TO THE WELFARE OP THE STUDENTS OF COLBY COLLEGE AND THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN OF THE COMMUNITY 1955 HE ARENA was packed the evening of December 15 for a sparkling dedication program. There were many high T lights, but the one that will rank at the top for most was the smashing 6-1 hockey victory over Bowdoin. The evening's festivities were planned to touch on the many uses to which the new ice facilities will be put. An abbrevi ated pee-wee hockey game, for example, opened proceedings. An exhibition of figure skating was provided by the Lewiston-Auburn Skating Club and solo performances by 12-year old Liliette Charest and Hertha Garon Silver, European Gold Medalist. Mrs. Silver, the wife of Francis J. Silver, '51, turned in a handsome show, captivating all. The speaking roster was many-starred, presided over by Ronald Brown of Dunham's Clothing Store, and chair man of the Waterville Artificial Ice Rink Campaign Committee. Here are some of the headliners he introduced: Charles Morrissey, '56, captain of hockey: "It is difficult to thank those who have contributed in time, money, and effort. Thanks must come in tangible results of having the rink here at Colby. In the final analysis the result must be a better college, a better education." Gordon Jones, '40, representing the alumni: "It is a great night for Colby alumni as well as for students and Waterville townspeople ... The college officials deserve a great deal of credit for completing this for approximately $200,000. Many college rinks have been built at double this. Frankly I don't know of one superior to it." The Honorable Richard Dubord, mayor of Waterville: "We in Waterville appreciate Colby College. We realize the cultural advantages which it gives us and the opportunity we have to enjoy many events and particularly evenings such as this. This auditorium is the latest indication of the spirit, the planning, the courage and the forti tude that has brought Colby to Mayflower Hill. .. We welcome this splendid addition to our city." The Honorable Sumner Sewall, (Hon. '41 ), representing the trustees: "When I think of the infrn.ite spot on the horizon this whole conception was two years ago it is simply incredible, wonderfully incredible, that we are to night in this accomplished fact. .. It seems to me the incredible is always happening here. " Walter Brown, president of Boston Garden: "No one in this building is getting a greater thrill out of this evening than I am... This is a wonderful building. It is only fitting of the great hockey tradition of Colby College." Neil Leonard, chairman of the board of trustees: "This structure stands on the firm foundation of faculty, stu dent, alumni and community loyalty... This rink will bear the name of a citizen of Waterville who has enriched the life of this community by giving freely of his wealth, his time, and his talents. Thayer Hospital and Colby College have been his special local interests. Because of him hundreds of youngsters are stronger, finer, citizens ... He has made an avocation of giving young people the opportunity for a college education which he was denied. vVhile he has been one of the most active supporters of this rink we honor him not for that alone, but for the interest he has shown in many phases of Colby activities and the community service he has rendered. As chairman of the · board of trustees of Colby College, I name this building the Harold Alfond Rink." Mr. Alfond answered briefly and with emotion: "I am deeply honored at having my name associated with this great college. I want to thank all the trustees and everyone else who have made tonight's occasion possible. It is one of the most thrilling moments of my life, and one I will never forget."
