Various Hamiltonian-like properties are investigated in the squares of connected graphs free of some set of forbidden subgraphs. The star K,+ the subdivision graph of &, and the subdivision graph of K1,3 minus an endvertex play central roles. In particular, we show that connected graphs free of the

Several authors have shown that if G is a connected graph of even order then its square G2 has a I-factor. We show that the square of any connected graph of order 2n has at least n I-factors and describe all the extremal graphs.
We prove the conjecture of Gould and Jacobson that a connected S(K1,J free graph has a vertex pancyclic square. Since .S(K1,J is not vertex pancyclic, this result is best possible. ## Our notation generally follows that used in [l] . A graph G is Hamilroniun if it contains a cycle through all its
