 Cast A Shadow (3 and 1 Line) 

Definition:
 

If the centers of the 3 and 1 lines are facing out, do a regular Cast a Shadow except the remaining centers at the finish of the movement do a Cloverleaf to fill the vacant space in new 3 and 1 lines by coming in from outside. If the Centers of the 3 and 1 line are facing in, no one does any shadowing--instead, the center four step to a wave, then Lock It and "Extend the Tag" into new 3 and 1 lines with the outsides who do the 3/4 arm turn and spread.

 Scoop 'Em Up 

Definition:
 

From a box circulate: All 1/2 Scoot Back to momentary 2-faced line [i.e. Follow Thru]; then in one continuous motion Wheel and Deal and Sweep 1/4. The effect is like a "wrong hand" Flutter Wheel in which the trailers [in facers] move in and take the opposites back to their starting spot to end as facing couples.

From facing couples: Designated dancers Extend and Hinge as others do a 1/4 turn to form a momentary 2-faced line with the designated dancers then proceed as above, i.e. Wheel & Deal & Sweep 1/4.

Give Me A 1/4 Scoop: From a box circulate - Follow Thru. From facing couples do the first part to end in a 2-faced line.

Give Me A 1/2 Scoop: Give me a 1/4 Scoop plus Couples Hinge.

Give Me a 3/4 Scoop: Give me a 1/2 Scoop plus another Couples Hinge.

Give Me A Full Scoop: Give me a 3/4 Scoop plus Bend the Line. This is identical to Scoop 'Em Up. Either wording is acceptable. The author, however, recommends Give me a Full Scoop from a box circulate and Scoop 'em Up from facing couples [e.g. from normal couples Boys Scoop 'em Up gives 1/2 sashayed couples via momentary R-H 2-faced line].
