Judge Knapp’s decision was appealed to the UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT in Richmond, Virginia. On May 2, 1982, Senior Circuit Judge Clement F. Haynsworth, Jr. and Circuit Judges H. Emory Widener, Jr. and Robert F. Chapman agreed with and affirmed the District Court’s opinion. In June, 1987, a Petition for Writ of Mandamus was filed by A. James Manchin, Treasurer of State of West Virginia, asking that the WVSSAC comply with statutory requirements of state agencies and that the WVS- SAC deposit with the State Treasurer, within 24 hours, “all monies received or collected by them for or on behalf of the State for any purpose whatsoever.” The Supreme Court ruled and Justice McHugh wrote the opinion in December 1987. This opinion stated that “Funds received by the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission, which operates pursuant to authority granted it by county boards of education under W.Va. Code 18-2-25 (1967), are quasi-public funds” as defined in W.Va. Code 18-5-13 (1987), and are to be accounted for in a manner similar to that provided for funds of county boards of education, but such funds are not to be accounted for under W.Va. Code 12-2-2 (1983) as “monies due the State.” Consequently, the Writ of Mandamus on behalf of Treasurer Manchin was denied.

NATIONAL FEDERATION OF STATE HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATIONS The National Federation consists of the fifty individual state high school athletic and/or activities associations and the association of the District of Columbia. Also affiliated are nine interscholastic organizations from the Canadian Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland-Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and Quebec as well as the Canadian School Sports Federation and the associations of the Republic of the Philippines, Guam and Saint Thomas. These associations have united to secure the benefits of cooperative action which eliminates unnecessary duplication of effort and increases efficiency through the pooling and coordinating of ideas of all who are engaged in the administration of high school athletic and activities programs. ORIGIN AND GROWTH The national organization had its beginning in a meeting at Chicago on May 14, 1920. L.W. Smith, secretary of the Illinois High School Athletic Association, issued invitations to neighboring states, and state association representatives came from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. The primary purpose of the meeting was to discuss problems which had resulted from high school contests which were organized by colleges and universities or by other clubs or promoters. In many cases, little attention was paid to the eligibility rules of the high school associations or to The national organization had its beginning in a meeting at Chicago on May 14, 1920. L.W.
