パラパラ
The game affectionately called "PARA PARA" was made popular in Africa by a Daring and Adventurous group of Minor Seminarians from 1986-1991. St. Charles had two paddle tennis courts. There was an artificial shortage of "bats" to play the game. This was because some students like Benjamin Campion, Prosper Beni, and Ben Dzang hid the bats to prevent others from having a fair and equitable chance at playing the game. Not withstanding the shouts of "drop the bats" and "dropez vous" from older and senior students - often bullies, this game was enjoyed by all and sundry. Para Para was in a class of its own- civilized, bougie and players were admired and equally hated for their class, wit, and charm.
