alternative to do for loading variables from array?

Is there a "decent" way to load variables from an array without "do" or a
long list of commands?

If theList[pageName] is "cat page" and so forth, I can

repeat for each word theVar in "pageName pageHeight pageWidth"
   do "put " & theList[theVar] & " into " & theVar
end repeat

but this will cause a slew of compiles.

I could also rattle off the list, but this is more maintainable.

Is there a better way to do this?
