PRIZE PUZZLE FOR NOVEMBER 2008

ONE-to-NINE

Using the nine decimal digits 1 to 9 once and once only, construct four square numbers.

Square numbers are from the sequence of squares:
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36.. etc. You can't use the square of ten because it contains zeros and you can't use the square of 11 = 121 because it needs two 1's. But there are many more that you can use.
