Selected Se 4：
The gymnasium is full，crammed with students and townfolks.
There is a banner over the stage：Good-bye，Mr.Holland.All arecheering，applauding.Mr.Holland is overwhelmed.
The applau finally dies out and Mrs.Lang address the crowd.
Mrs.Lang：Oh，thank you.My apologies for my tardiness，and，uh，Principal Wolters，I’d like to know……Yes，I brought a notefrom my mother.（audience laughing）Mr.Holland had a profoundinflueny life.On a lot of lives，I know.A，I get thefeeling that he siders a great part of his own life misspent.Rumor had it，he was always w on this symphony of his and this wasgoing to make him famous，rich.Probably both.But Mr.Hollandisn’t rid he isn’t famous，at least not outside of our little town.
