Subject: :symbol vs CONSTANT choice

I have a list of about 12 items that I wish to repeatedly store as part 
of a record in a file.  The obvious way to do this is to define a bunch 
of constant terms with values [1 .. 12].  But when I want to use them in 
the program, symbols would be more convenient.  Is there a better way to 
do this than just defining the constants, and using a pair of functions 
to convert to and from symbols?
